RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

There is no question that o very
large proportion of farmers, when they
enter upon their life work, have but a
faint knowledge of the soil and its re-
quirements for the special crops to be
grown. The gratifying increase of the
number of students who have entered
the agricultural classes at the agricult-
raj colleges is a step in the right
direction.
Fat should be reduced by improving
the general health and exercising the
muscular tissues Of the body rather
than by change to q radical diet.
Strengthen the muscular tissues by in
creasing the meat foods. Keep the
blood in good normal condition by
cutting from the diet all sweets, severe
acids, wines, alcoholic and malt liquors.
Use sufficient pure cold water to give
free action to the skin aud kidneys.
Eat sufficient food but only twice a
day. Do not nibble between meals.
An.excellent and nourishing vegeta-
BILE dinner, particularly suitable for
large families. Put some drippings at
the bottom of a saucepan, then thick
slices of peeled potatoes, a little onion,
pepper and salt to taste; another layer
of drlppings, potatoes, onions, ETC.,
and repeat until the sauce pan is full,
or according to quantity required. Add
sufficient water to prevent burning
and stir occasionally. Time, fifteen to
twenty minutes. This is an excellent
way of using up cold fat meat, in place
Of dripping. "A

And then, 100, there is sun anOlner re-
spect in which Washington has the Indian
sign, as it We're, upon all other American
cities. Washington is an oasis in the
desert of practical politics.
There Is sometimes a pest of peddlers

Putting" Tobacco.
From the London Chronicle.


Smoking and drinking, we have the high
assurance of Sir William Broadbent for
believing, often go together. 1t Is there
fore not surprising that the old phrase for
smoking should have been drinking to-
bacoo. We meet the phrase in the comedy
performed before King James 1 by the
students OF Christ's College, Oxford, at
Woodstock, in 1921. The royal author of
the "Counterblast to Tobacco had to en-
dure, much against his will. a speech and
song in praise of the devils own weed"
from one Phlegmaticus, who appeared on
the stage with a man on his back filing
a pipe of tobacco. his hat decorated with
pipes, and a pot Of beer at his girdle.
Fore Jove." shouted Phlegmaticus to the
outraged monarch most meteorological to-
bacco! Pure Indian, not q jot sophisti-
Gated; tobacco pipe is the chimney Of
perpetual hospitality. Fore Jove, most met
ropolitan tobacco" No wonder the king
thrice rose to leave the hall.
Sir William would have found more prac-
teal encourageme for his present ''Coun-
terblast" against the use of tobacco by
boys had he lived at the beginning of the
seventeenth century, for in those days
school masters were generally forbidden
to smoke Evil communications of more
than one kind were not allowed to corrupt
the manners of the youth of the school at

must be a man of sound religion neither
Papist nor Puritan, of a grave behavior,
and sober and honest conversation, no tip
pier or haunter of ale houses, and no puffer
of tobacco.
Cigarette smoking. which the expert wit
nesses before the house of lords committee
have been denouncing as terribly bad for
boys, is a very modern vice, or accomplish
ment, in this country, even for adults. The
word cigarette" itself does not seem to
occur in English until well on In the nine
teenth century. Lady Bell, who complained
that "suffragette' ought to mean "a little
suffrage" can have no fault to find with
Cigarette" which means, Of course, lust
what 1t appears to mean, a little cigar.
The genealogical origin of "cigar" itself,
however, is curiously obscure. Websts r
says that 1t was the name of a kind of
Cuban tobacco, but the most fascinating
conjecture is that it really means a cicada,
the cigar being supposed to resemble that
insect in shape.

Seaside Acquaintance.
From La Vie Heureuse, Paris

Nowhere in the whole wide world is the
making Of acquaintance so easy as at the
seaside. The child who hits you on the
head with his spade gives you the oppor-
tunity of raising your hat to the pretty
sister. The lap-deg upon whose tail you
tread gives you either a friend or a foe
Even the elements themselves conspire to
aid these summer friendships. When Noah's
contemporaries ran in under cover to try
to get out of the way of the deluge, you
may be sure they did not trouble about
conventional introductions.
