Strawberries and Govt.

The common medical condemnation Of
strawberries as bad for rheumatism IS
opposed by the London Lancet, which
thinks that equity patients may derive
benefit from their use, seeing that the
berries richness in certain salts tends to
render the blood alkaline and to lower
the acdity CT the excretlons. Accord
ing to analysis recently made by the
Lancet, the average composition Of the
1904 strawberry is as follows:
Per cent.
Water 49,. -. o5JW ~
Soluble salts dncluding free acid. .... ]. LAG
Lime and iron salts. O1ol
Proteid. ........-........... OSO0
Sugar ............ 0-cn
Oily matter. ...........-... UIof
CeIlulose and seeds. ................. 2.403
A strawberry contains q greater pro-
portion of water than does milk, which
on the face Of it may seem odd, since
the strawberry appears to be solid as
compared with milk AS to nutritive
value the strawberry can count for little
unless we regard the sugar, which
amounts to one-haf the total solid mat
ter, as valuable in this respect. The
mineral salts of the strawberry contain
quite a large proportion of potassium,
phosphoric acid and iron, Sc that the
view that an abundant diet OF strawb er-
ries may have the effect of a tonic is
not without some reasonable basis. Tan
mic acid has little or no action upon the
fruit, so that the strawberry tea iS

you accepted 'hisn?" she asked, with an
uplifting of the eyebrows.

which to consider it,"
Indeed! AND what did he say then?'
why" replied she with the blue eyes.
He was awfully nice and sympathetic
about it. Said he understood the limo
cent shyness CT a natural disposition
like mine; and that he would give me
three months to think it over"
And what did you answer to that?'

FRENCH HOUSEWIVES THRIFT
Cnn Make Money Go Further Than
Any Women in the WcrId-PrO-
bate Court Facts.

The management of the national
finances of France, which are on a bet
ter basis than those Of any other ma
ton in Europe, find q counterpart in
the methods of the housewives of the
nation. 1t is a fact that the distribu-
ton of wealth in France is wider than
in any other European country, al
though the records are not available fol
detailed comparisons in all cases. How
ever, the records of the courts of pro
bate in England and the notarial rec
ords in France afford data for compari-
son between these two countries. In
England the CT, 233 estates administered
last year amounted to $1,440, 900, 600.
while in France 1863, 612 estates only net
ted 1854, 425 ,210. In other words, while
the English fortunes were much great
er individually than the French estates.
the number of property holders in
France were five to one compared to
England. This information should be a
severe shock to those of the old school
who are prone to regard all French peo-
pie as ~eXtravagant and thoughtless.
while as a matter of fact they are a
thrifty. seif-denying race.

WOMAN AND HER NOSE.
Photographers Resort to Many Tricks
to Render Pictures More Beauti-
full Than Their yvners

1.-THE latest wrinkle in the photog-
raphy of women" said a leading artist
the other day, lis the averted counte-
nance in portraiture. Inasmuch as
woman's nose, when she directly faces
the camera, Is closer to the lens than
any other feature, it is magnifed slight
ly, which is not desirable. To avoid this
we try to retire that organ as much
as possible, and the only way is to re-
touch the negative. This is invariably
done when the nose is a trife larger than
perfect harmony requires. A woman
with a big nose is the unhappiest Of
mortals, far more miserable than the
man with one too small. The tip of it
is always cold, rendering her positively
unkissable. Nine-tenths of the pictures
| am taking nowadays have the head
thrown back, exposing the throat, en-
phasizing the chin, concealing the PEN
dency of the under-lip, giving a small,
tip-tilted nose, with a fine view Of the
nostrils, greatly softening the express
sion of the eyes, beautifully arching the
brows and modifying the forehead. Oh,
we can make any woman look pretty in
a photograph. That is our art"

INVENTION OF BEEFsTEAK.
Roman Prisoner of Rank Discovered
That Sacrifice to Jupiter Was
Excellent for MortaIs.

Beefsteak, like most other goo0
things, was discovered entirely by acct,
dent. 1t appears that Lucius Plaucus, a
Roman of rank, was ordered by the EN-.
peror Trajan for some offense to act a;
one of the mental s~acriflcers to Jupiter;
he resisted, but was at length dragged
to the altar. There, says the New York
Herald, the fragments of the victim
were laid Upon the fire and the unfor.
tunate senator was forcibly compelled &C
turn them. In the process Of roasting
one of the slices fell off the Goals and
was caught by Plaucus in its fall. 1t
burned his fingers and he i~nstinctively
thrust them into his mouth. Inthat mo-
.ment he had made the grand discovery
that the taste of a slice, thus carbona-
doed, was infinitely beyond all the sod.
den cookery of Rome. A new expedi-
ent to save his dignity was suggested al
the same time, and he at once evinced
his obedience to the emperor by SEEM

due regularity and his scorn of the en-
ployment by turning the whole cere-
mony into a matter of appetite. He

eefsteak! A discovery of this magni-
tude could not long be concealed; the
sacrifices began to disappear with a
rapidity and satisfaction to the parties
too extraordinary to be unnoticed. The
priests of Jupiter adopted the practice
with delight, and the king of Olympus
must have been soon starved if he de-
pended on any share of the good things
of Rome.
