Values of Fats and Oils,

There is remarkable misapprehen-
sion. particularly among many per-
sons Of the more intelligent class of
our people. says the Dietetic and Hy-
Eienic Gazette. as to the food value of
the fats and oils. The muscle or red
meat is valuable source Of proteid,
but the excessive consumption of pro
ted invites various diseases which fig
ure very prominently in the causes Of
death The fats and oils increase our
resistance against cold and some of
the causes Of disease. The health of
many so called scrofulous children
would be improved by teaching them
to eat more fat. Fats in abundance
constitute a very essential part of the
dietary of the tuberculous patient. a
larger proportion of the fatty elements
Of foods would go long way in add
ing to the robustness of many persons
and saving them from the subsequent
development Of tuberculosis.

THE WILD CARROT.
One Of the Most Interesting Of On
Native Plants.

One Of the Most Interesting Of Our
Native Plants.
A weed has been defined as "a plant
that persists in growing where it is not
desired" SDrely the wild carrot is a
most weedy weed from the point of
view of that definition and Of the dis
like of the farmer. AS to the per-
sistence our veteran farmer-naturalist
John Burroughs tells us: Cut off the
head of the wild carrot, and in week
there are five heads In room Of the
one. Cut Off these, and by fall there
are ten looking defiance at you from
the same root"
The only fault Of the wild carrot
as Of other 80 called weeds, Is too great
success in life. 1t Is guilty only OF
persistence. But from nature lovers
point Of view there are. strictly speak
ing, no weeds. No plant Is disllked
On the contrary. the more plant Is
able to strive successfully for life the
more of interest 1t Is. We can also
see and appreciate the beauty without
the "weedy" dislike.
II In this spirit observers will ex
anime the wild carrot the verdict will
be that it Is one of the prettiest and
most interesting Of our native plants
The beauty Is especially noticeable In
the full bloom, or Queen Anne's lace
form. Perhaps some may regard the
birds nest form as the most interest

The Sin Of Insurance,

They were right in a way. Life in
surance is gambling in human lives

Where Fortunes Were Made and
Spent In IL Day.
When Daily had acquired the proper
ties surrounding the Anaconda, he
opened up the Butte hill. One must
have vivid Imagination to picture to
himself the growth of Butte from that
time on during Marcus Days life.
Fortunes were made and spent in n
day. An army Of men descended into
the mines daily to strip them Of their
treasure, huge forests were despoiled
Of their timber to stull and shore up
the excavations and protect the earth
above, for these copper veins are often
100 feet wide. Immense smokestacks
began to vomit their clouds Of smudge
the hill; the moan and clank Of huge
pumps could be heard In the depths
forcing the water to the surface; the
pound Of hammers and the steady i'm
pact of drills sounded everywhere,
while the earth trembled and beloved
Great hollows, like cathedral naves,
were scooped out, where the treasure
had lain in the rock ribbed earth.
Horses and mules were blindfolded
and lowered into the mines-where
their hides. like the gray boards Of the
old miners. soon took on the greenish
color of the copper which saturates ev-
erythng below the surface. The Butte
hill soon became q vertiable under

BRITISH CASTE,

-
Love Of the Enslishman For q Titled
Ruling Class.
The presence Of personal sovereign
Is the outward and visible sign that
caste Is still supreme In the British EN-.
pire. The external abuses of the feudal
system have been abolished in Great
Britain, one by one, until those that
still linger are almost harmless, but
the inner spirit survives to this late
day, and even now its manifestations
are abundant in almost every part Of
the social structure Of the British Isles.
There Is still alive the fiction that the
king rules and that the army Of the
empire is his majesty's army. There Is
still a willing acceptance of the titled
aristocracy and also Of an upper house.
the vast majority Of whose members
sit there by the right of birth only.
without regard to their individual
merits.
No doubt the British people could
change these things speedily and with
out violence IL they really desired to
get rid of this inheritance from feudal-
ism. But they have not got rid of it,
and this is evidence enough that they
do not wish to do so.
The British see no reason to abolish
state Of affairs which the American
people look ut with amazed wonder rs
a survival Of the dark ages. A native
American finds 1t wholly impossible to
understand the mental attitude Of a
certain man OF letters in London, who
justified his ingrained toryism by the
assertion that he simply would not be
ruled by his eQuals.-Reader.
