"The pies, buildings, sauces and in.

which are unhealthful in the extreme
partaken OF by young and old alike
in America, have caused me to won

of the present generation. Their Wig

simple to the luxurious is working
havoc. The rising generation have
squandered the constitutional capital
benueathed to them and are rapidly
becoming physical bankrupts. A halt
must be called and the simple habits

When the cards are fed into the

The Ejnuerless Man EXPLAINS

He was a man of 40, with the three
last fingers of his right hand missing,
and when he saw that the man on his
right was looking and wondering he
said:
"You have been in a zoo, haven't
you?"
"Oh, yes"
"You have noticed bones lying about
on the floor of the lions cage?"
Certainly"
"And you have put your hand
through the bars of the cage after one
of them to see what the lion would do.
mo, I never did any tom-fool thing
like that. Any man of common sense
knows that the lion would bite MIN.
So that's the way you lost your fin
gers, is it?"
mo, not exactly"
"How not exactly?"
"Why, got the bone out all right,
and the lion only grinned at me, but
next day while saving wood on ma
chine. | got these fingers in the way
of the old saw and they were nipped
off. Next time you go to the ZOO try 1t
on. You don't know how easy you can
get the bones out"

WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS?

H. T. Newcomb of the District OF
Columbia Bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5,174,71S depositors in
savings banks of six eastern states
are directly interested in the joint
ownership of $442,354,0S6 Of steam
railroad securities, that insurance
companies doing business in Massa-
chusetts hold sS45, SS9,03S Of steam
railroad stocks and bonds and IA edu-
cational institutions depend on $47,-
46S,327 invested in similar securities
for a portion of their income. Other
fiducary institutions own enough
railroad securities to bring such hold
ing up to more than billion and
half dollars. about one-sixth of the
entire capital invested in railroad
property. These investments repre-
sent the savings of the masses, there
being twenty million holders of life in
surance policies in the country, as
many more of fire insurance policies,
and an even greater number of de-
postors in banking and trust institu-
tions, where investments are largely
in railroad securities.

BREAKFAST BREADS.

Corn Puffs.-Beat together two and
one.half cupfuls of unskimmed milk
and the yolks of two eggs, until thor
oughly blended. Add two cupfuls OF
| best granulated corn meal. Beat the
batter thoroughly; stir in lightly the
whites of the eggs, beaten to stiff
froth; turn into heated irons, and
bake.
Corn Dodgers.-Scald one cupful OF
best graduated corn meal, into which
tablespoon of sugar has been sifted
with one cup of boiling milk. Beat
until smooth, and drop on griddle
in cakes about one inch in thickness
and bake slowly for an hour. Turn
when brown. If preferred, the baking
may be finished in the oven after the
first turning.
Hominy Gems.-Beat one egg until
very light, add to it one tablespoon.
full of thick sweet cream, little salt

Sally Lunn Gems.-Beat together
the yolk of one egg, two tablespoon
fuls of sugar, and one cupful of thin,
ice.cold, sweet cream. Add slowly

two tablespoonful of sifted Graham
flour. Beat vigorously, until full OF
air bubbles, add the white of the egg
beaten stiffly, and bake in heated
irons.
Cream Corn Cakes.-Into one cup
of thin cream stir one and one-half
cups of granular corn meal, or enough
to make a stiff batter; add one-third
of teaspoonful of salt; beat we'll

Cream Graham RolIs.-To one-halt
cup of cold cream add One-half cup OF
soft ice water. Make into a dough
with three cups of Graham flour,
sprinkling in slowly with the hands,

until the dough is too stiff to be
stirred; then knead thoroughly, form
into rolls and bake.
Hoecake.-Scald one pint of white
corn meal with which, if desired, a
tablespoonful of sugar and one-half
teaspoonful of salt have been mixed,

Bows Valuable Discovery.

Van Erpecum, boy student in the
aigh school at Batavia, Java, has dis
covered a new law of physics. He no
ticed that when glass is filled to the
brim with water and floating ice there
Is no overflow on the melting of the
ice. and two years ago he called the
attention of his principal. DR.. C. NJ
Van Deventer, to the fact. Other
physicists were notified. who brought
the matter before the Royal Academy
of Amsterdam. 1t has now been shown
that the water neither rises nor sinks
and the proposed claw of the perma.
nent level" teaches that when a yes.
sci contains a solid floating in it's own
liouid the level of the latter does
not change by the melting of the
solid"

Let the Sunlight Reach Every Corner OF the

a crowd of coarse, half-drunken men,
and with them partake freely OF in
toxicating liquor. Unfortunately, this
painful sight is not at all rare, and IT
is quite common to see drunken WON

a sad commentary on our modern civ
ilization.
In Copenhagen it is the custom to
dress young schoolgirls so that their
arms are almost or entirely bare, even
in weather when Americans appre-
ciate their overcoats. This practice
necessarily chills the blood, and tends
to produce congestion of the internal
organs, and undoubtedly lays the
foundation for colds, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
tuberculosis is making sad havoc
among the urban population of Nor
way. 1t is pitiful to note how this
plague is decimating this once hardy
race. Sedentary life, indoor confine-
ment and defective ventilation are
undoubtedly the most prolific causes,
for fifty per cent of the tubercular
cases make a satisfactory recovery
when they are sent to some outdoor
sanitarium; and what will cure con-
sumptive would certainly have pre-
vented the onset of the disease.
The liquor curse is undermining the
physical stamina of the Swedish race.
Liquor drinking among the working
classes is almost universal. One
third of their population die before
the age of twenty-one, and one-fourth
of those who live, are rejected from
military service on account of phys

Natures great disinfectant Is sun
light. 1t is a most interesting fact
that this wonderful light, which pro-
notes the growth of useful plants and
sustains animal life, at the same time
destroys by it's very brightness all
sorts of germs which are brought in
contact with it. 1t is this fact alone
which renders the earth inhabitable.
Germs develop with such marvellous
rapidity that they would quickly over
whelm us by their very numbers if
not constantly destroyed by the sun.
A little computation will readily show
this. Some germs are capable of such
rapid multiplication that they may
double every fifteen minutes under
favorable conditions of temperature
and food supply. Estimate the num-
Der of germs which might be pro-
duced in single day of twenty-four
hours, or ninety-six doublings. The
number would be more than thirty
two thousand billion billions, or suf-
ficient to cover eighty thousand
square miles a foot deep, or fill a
space of more than fifteen cubic
miles. The increase of a minute or
ganism occupying cubic space OF
not more than one twenty-thousandth
of an inch to such prodigious magni-
tude is beyond comprehension. and
practically cannot occur; for while
the germ may grow at this immense
rapidity for a short time, the poisons
which it produces become destructive
to itself. The material upon which it
feeds is also exhausted, so that its
growth ceases.
Doubtless all have noticed the fact
that mold grows during the night and
In dark, damp cellars. Bright sun
light quickly destroys germs. mold,
and other parasitic organisms. Diff
fused daylight does not act nearly SO
rapidly, but accomplishes in the
course of a few hours what bright
sunlight is capable of doing in few
minutes. 1t is clearly evident, then,
that in order that our houses should
be kept free from germs, they, like
our bodies, should be made full OF life.
The shutters should be opened, the
curtains raised, and the light admit
ted to every room in the house, clos
cts included, so that the disinfecting
power of light may be exercised in
every nook and corner of the dwell
ing.

Speculation is rife in mining circles
as to what might have been the fate OF
the Cullinan diamond had it not been
picked up on the surface.
A stone of that magnitude, If carried
to the washing machine, would not
pass through the cylinder, and might
conceivably be picked out and care
