Keep Your Weight Normal.

How to ascertain and having
learned, to keep your weight at the
normal standard, is a discovery Prof
Ludwig Schweik, an eminent Swiss
physician, claims to have made. The
secret, Prof. Schweik says, is dietary.
He prescribes the amount of food to
be taken daily as fourteen ounces of
solid and sixteen ounces liquid re-
freshmen For breakfast he permits
two ounces of rolls, one cup of coffee
or milk and a quarter of an ounce of
butter. Luncheon may consist of two
ounces of apple. eight ounces OF al
monds. one tablespoonful of honey
and oatmeal, one soft boiled or hard
boiled egg, according to taste, and one
cup of soup, the soup taken at the
end of the meal.

The Business Lie.

Our age is great in some ways; it
is an age of invention, but, says the
Rev. F. r. Keighley of Windsor, it is
also an age of invention for the lie of
covetousness and self-interest. How
numerous in our time have been the
charges for fraudulent advertisement?
How many thousands more of those
falsehoods have gone undetected? Our
law courts tell us that this kind Of lie
stops at nothing; it poisons food, it
adulterates army stores, it robs with
out conjunction the very poorest.
Many men, who would be ashamed to
lie personally, excuse this kind of lie;
they say, at is only business lie
only "a trick of the trade" But what
is business lie" when you come to
analyze it? 1t is just a lie told to
make money, and of all liars the liar
for money is the most contemplate.

ESCORIAL OF SPAIN
ROYAL PLACE OF ENFORCEMENT
MOST GLOOMY BULL "G.
Gautier Advises the Unhappy to Go
to EscoriaI, and by Contrast be
Cured of chondria-Architec
ture Forbidding and Stern.
Especial Correspondence


No sightseeing tour of Spain is
complete without a visit to the Es-
corral, the Pantheon of the country,
or royal place of entombment, in
which lie buried all the princes of
Spain who have died in the past 800
years. 1t Is said to be the gloomiest
building in the world, as it is one of
the largest. Theopile Gautier advises
any one who thinks himself unhappy
it will make him content with his lot
to reflect that he does not have to
stay there.
The Escorial has no counterpart in
any other country in christendom. 1t
was built by a religious zealot, Phillip
III. and combines a church, monas-
terry, tomb house, and palace. It's
architecture is stern and forbidding,
and it's location one of the most in
hospitable in Spain. 1t stands 200
feet above sea level on the side of a
barren mountain, facing high val
ley, about thirty rifles from Madrid.
In summer the winds here carry dust
and heat, destroying vegetation. In
winter wild blasts howl down from
the snow-capped peaks and the icy
hills, and make the place uninhabit-
able to all but the robust. Worse eli
matte conditions cannot be found any
where in the country.
The situation for the Escorial suited
the taste of Phillip, who wished to re-
tire from his court to devote himself
to life of religious penance and cas-
tigation. No phase Of nature was too
severe to overmatch the mood of the
king, and he gave the order to build
the Escorial against the judgment Of
architects and his advisers of the
court. Work on the building was be-
gun April %, 1868. 1t was completed
in 1884. It's name was derived from
escoriae, the dross of iron mines, still
found in the neighborhood

Escarial two years before it was fin

The Milk Powder Industry.

During the last few years we have
heard more discussion as to the posi-
bility Of making a milk powder than
ever before. The milk powder aimed
at is one in which the proteids retain
their normal condition, and need only
water added to them to change back
into normal milk. This preservation
of the proteids in their natural con-
dition is considered by scientists to
be the essential requisite of the milk
powder. There are powders on the
market, but they are merely the result
of evaporating milk, and can no more
be changed back into milk than cheese
can be so changed. There are many
efforts being made to induce farmers
to put their money into these projects,
but the men being solicited should re-
member that up to the present time
there have been no indications that
any discoveries have been made max
ing such milk powder possible.

Learning to Wait.

oh! swe,, baby face at the window,
oh! dear little girl at the gate,
You are learning LIES hardest lesson,
The lesson of learning to wait.
And minutes seem hours in passing,
While the hours are cons of time.
The clocks hands stand still while W,
watch them,
The bells have forgotten to chime.
Brave youth at the portal of manhood,
Fair maiden at womanhood's door,
Are waiting in breathless impatience
The gifts that gods hold in store.
While manhood Is ardently waiting
The crown of his victories won.
Reward for his glorious achievements,
And rest after toiling Is done,
From morning of life until evening.
We wait with what patience we may,
For the blessings of life as we see them,
And love that has wandered away
And when sunset fades into the twilight
We lingcr awhile at the gate,
Tired faces turned wistfuly upward
For passing and promise still wait.

NEW CURE FOR TIGHT DOORS
Furniture Man Tells How to Open
Dresser Drawers that Stick.

Furniture Man Tells How to open
Dresser Drawers that Stick.
Patrons come to me every day and
say that the drawers of dressers and
other furniture stick fast and cannot
be opened or shut without great diff
ficulty," said the complaint man" in
a down town furniture store. This
is the trouble with much furniture,
especially that which is new, and is
especially common in the spring.
What do we do in such cases? We
simply tell the customers to wet the
surface of a bar of common laundry
soap and rub it firmly over the parts
of the wood that stick. This makes
the surface smooth and slippery, and
in nearly all cases the drawer will
slide easily, especially after 1T has
been opened and shut a few times.
This also is valuable with doors
which, in new flats, are likely to set.
tie or are apt to scrape at the top
as the building settles. Just use soap
on them and save the trouble of call
ing in a carpenter, who will plane
the varnish off.
China cabinet doors, with curved
glass, cause us a lot of trouble, but
most of the tightness can be RENE
died by the use of soap and few APP
plications of sand paper
The furniture man gave another
helpful hint"
IF mission furniture, with the dull
finish, loses it's smooth surface and
characteristic waxy appearance" he
said, do not despair and send it to
the renovator Take pound cake OF
common floor wax and rub it over
the surface until the finish is restored.
If you have no floor wax use beeswax,
and if you prefer something made es-
pecially for the purpose, you can buy
liquid preparations, one of which will
remove the old finish, leaving the ia
bic top or other object ready for the
application of the other substance,
which will duplicate the original dn'
ish."

Cooperative creameries in Ireland.

Cooperation is becoming perman-
ent feature of Irish butter making.
The cooperative creameries there
have made good records and have
proved very profitable. They have in
the main produced butter that has
sold we'll on the English market. The
result has been good returns for the
product of the creameries and good di-
vidends to the co-operators. Recent
reports from Ireland give the number
of cooperative creameries now in ex-
istence there as 367. These have 49,
299 members, and the creameries are
turning out $4,000 tons of butter every
year.

Purchasing Fowls or Eggs.

We are frequently asked the ques-
ton If, in starting with pure-bred
stock, 1t Is better to buy the fowls or
buy the eggs. Our answer will de-
pend on the season of year in which
the question is asked. If in the
spring, we would say, buy the eggs.
II in the fall, we would say, buy the
fowls. If one should buy the eggs at
this time of year, they would need an
incubator in which to hatch them, and
even then the fowls would not be
ready to begin laying until the next
summer They might even moult be-
fore beginning to lay. In purchasing
half-grown birds this season of the
year, about one season is gained over
the production from the eggs. There
Is another thing that favors the buy
ing of fowls, and that is that one can
tell just what he is getting In pur-
chasing eggs, it is possible for seri-
Gus mistakes to be made, as it is not
possible from the looks of the egg
to tell whether its parents are pure
bred or not. In developing the pure
bred flock, 1t is better to depend on
the purchasing of fowls and also on
the purchasing of eggs.

teen years, half king, half monk. He
was patron of the arts, and filled the
place with treasures by the painters,
sculptors and decorators in Europe.
He was also an aggressive admins
traitor. and boosted that he ruled two
worlds from the side of mountain.
Surrounded by monks, he devoted
much of his time to penances and
prayer, and here in the year 1898 he
died horrible death, in little box
like apartment over an altar, where,
tortured in mind with remorse for his
prosecutions, the supposed merits of
his life, and in body by vermin, he
breathed his last in indescribable filth
after fifty-three days without attend
ance.

house called in sinister Spanish fash

Fuel for Pumping Water.

In these columns at various
times we have noted the
great progress being made at
the New Mexico station in its in
vestigations of irrigation by pumped
water. The cost Of fuel per acre has
been shown to be very small, whether
wood or coal has been used. The sta
ton now reports that it finds a still
cheaper fuel in crude oil. A 22-horse
power gasoline engine was used and
the cost of the ten-hour run was as
follows: Crude oil, $3.05; kerosene,
$6.57; gasoline, $685.. This will be Of
