PHYSICIAN CHAMPIONS CANDY

"At its worst, candy is not half so dangerous as hash, soup out of stock pot, bread pudding, or any other of the sacred mysteries wrought out of stale and decaying odds and ends, which are worshipped by many model housekeepers," says Dr. Woods Hutch inson in the Christmas Woman's Home Companion. '@rhe substitution of starch for butter or cream, to give body to the cheaper creams and pastes, while very disagreeable, Is ab- solutely harmless, and, like the use of rancid butter, or even cheaper fats, such as suet and lard will promptly reveal itself to the unblunted palate. In fact candy is peculiarly protect ed from many deliberations and dan gers by the very delicacy and purity of the flavor demanded of 1t.
 I "At one time arsenic was said to be used to give the green color to the cheaper grades of candy, but it was never common, and has passed out of use entirely since the introduction of aniline dyes
 'TTo sum up, candy when eaten in moderate amounts and toward the close, or shortly after a meal, Is a harmless and often beneficial addition to our diet.
 While a liking for 1t is perfectly natural and wholesome, an excessive craving is generally sign of disease those young ladies who are said to livt chiefly upon candy and pickles do no lowe their pallor to the candy they eat but to some definite morbid condition most generally based upon lack O lproper exercise in the open air or O sufficient sleep. This should be cor rected by proper hygienic or medica means, and then their normal appetit' for more substantial foods will re turn. Failing this. it is perfectly idl

 Obviously no race can live by canni- balism, and this is instinctively recog- nized by all the higher animals. In other words, the law against murder has been hammered into them by nat nral selection and so fully established that not only will they abstain from preying on one of their own tribe, but vii rally to rescue one whose life is threatened. The fact that there afe exceptional cases does not disprove the law among beasts any moro than among men.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

How many modern readers of our Newspapers ever knew that Uncle Sam once engaged in the camel business to provide transportation across the burning sands? Tn 1853 congress ap- propriated $S0,000 for the purchase and importation of camels. looking to the use of that animal as an aid to army transportation across what was then popularly called the Great Amer | ican Desert. embracing California, Arizona, New Mexico ard the greater part of Northern Texas Congress was influenced to take the action be- cause of the successful use of the camel in semicivlized warfare by the French in Algeria and by the British in the Orient 5h
 It fell to the lot of Jefferson Day- is, then secretary of war, and later the president of the Confederacy, to carry out the wishes of congress. He detailed Lieutenant-Lafterwa Ao- mirai--D. D. Porter, United States lnavys and Major Henry C. Payne United States army, to proceed to Northern Africa and Asia Minor to buy the beasts. The expedltion brought back seventy-fve camels, one drove of thirty-one being shipped in the naval storeship Supply and an- other of forty one in the United States warship Suwanee. Both vessels land- ed their live cargoes at Indian 5la, Tex, February 10, 1857.

REAL CLAM CHoWDER.
A Recipe From the Only State Where
 It Is Rightly Made.

For once in 8 long career of rarely uniform success my friend Wiley has blundered. It all comes from trying to discourse about a matter with whieh he betrays (for him) monstrous lack of familiarity. The idea of in- sulting chowder by calling it sousel
 The idea of going to a New York chef to learn how to make clam chowder. The first requisite of Rhode Is-' land chowder is to be on the shore
 of Narragansett bay, provided with Q Iround-bottomed kettle in which chowders have been made for at least 200 years. This kettle should be pre-
 sided over by Rhode Island matron
 whose ancestors had made Rhode Is-
 land chowder for at least eight gener-
 ations. (Talk about comparing a
 Waldorf chef, who doesn't know the
 difference between a clam and qua
 haug, with her!l This matron should
 be provided with plenty of assistance
 in the form of booming young girls
 aspiring to learn how to make a
 Rhode Island chowder, and of young
 men desirous for various reasons, to please the girls. The quantity of the various materials would be deternlin-
 ed by the experience of the matron
 and would be varied by the number of prospective diners who thought chowder was souss. The first requl-
 site material is Rhode Island clarns, which 1t Is presumed the young men have just dug and taken from the shells raw, carefully rinsing the sand . from the clans in the natural water , of the clam. This water is finally carefully poured from the sand and preserved The second requisite Is a piece of salt pork, fatted in an or chard where there were plenty oi | sweet apples, on Rhode Island corn l, meal white, hard and sweet. Then 3 few Rhode sIsland onions and Rhode Island potatoes, both peeled and sliced , thin. Lastly sufficient quantity ol ! fresh spring water from a Rhode Is. land spring with pepper and other 2 seasoning, and some fresh, crisp pilo' T bread
 All these things being at hand, tht :. pork Is cut into thin, small pieces ant

The clans and clam water ar then added with the seasoning, ant Y the whole brought to a boil. It l 2 soon done and is served from a tureel upon broken pilot bread.
 Of course, tomatoes, olives, mint o

ENG1AND's AM1ABnE WIVES.
A French Woman's View of the Do
 mestic Life of the English.

The French woman who has been giving in the Matin her views of hus- bands and wives as she found them in America and elsewhere has now turned her attention to family life in Eng land. For F months, she says, she shared the table of MT. and Mrs. Simpson and each day for whole year witnessed the same spectacle and heard the same dialog without the slightest variation
 Mrs. Simpson, stiff and correct, and Mir. Simpson, dressed up to the hines, would sit facing each other wearing a tight linen collar, which had the in convenience or advantage of absolute ly preventing freedom of movement. She never saw Mir. Simpson carelessly dressed nor Mrs. Simpson in flowing garments or those vaporous tea gowns which are the joy of Parisian hus- bands.
 The children were not present at dinner, although there were many of them. The eldest were at school and the youngest were fed in the nursery The parents were thus spared the dread of seeing the table turned into a field of battle If the children are bad 1 ly brought up, and the children them selves, if they are well brought up the tortures of being present, dumb, al meal far too long.
 Mir Simpson helped himself liberally to roast beef and potatoes and greens When he had eaten this, Mrs. Simpson inquired with anxiety, How did yor find the beef, dear; "Delicious, dear replied MT. Simpson ''I enjoyed il immensely" 'And how did you find thu vegetables?" Perfect, dear I enjoyed them immensely" Satisfied, Mrs Simpson asked no more. Mrs simp son discreetly retired, leaving her hus band, according to custom, tete-a-tet with a few bottles,
 MT. Simpson was a husband wh' sought little recreation. Mirth was no his strong point, nor was sentiment Neither could Mrs. Simpson pass for al amusing woman But she was alway
 ready to go out when MT. Simpson de
 sired to do so, or to remain at horn
 if he preferred it.
 She never asked how he employed hi
 time or what he did. And MT. Simpso
 on his side never allowed his wife t
 undertake the least menial occupation
 And the sons of Mrs. Simpson, bil
 strong boys, were brought up to hay the greatest respect for their mother One day at dinner Mir. Simpson sai to his wife: T think, dear, I shoul

WORLD FULL OF SPITE WORK.
President of Kansas Hammer Club

Old Cy KnOcker. OF Marion, is in a
state Of high indignation. Cy Is presi-
dent Of the Marion branch of the Ham
mer ana Paddock Club. The occasion of
his wrath was an order by the city couR-
ell that Cy must put down a sidewalk in
front Of his lot on Nebraska street. There
is no building on Cy's lot. but there are
nice residences on both sides and the
other property owners in the block have
all put down cement sidewalks and in
sisted that il wasn't right for them to be
compelled TO wade through the mud along
Cys lot.
OF course, this Is all very unreasonable
for these people to take this view of it.
as they could walk around a block or
two and avoid the mud of Cy's lot. but
some people seem determined TO be un-
reasonable. And when Cy was notified
on Tuesday OF the action Of the council
he almost lost his religion. And heavens
knows If he had there would have been
a sweet time finding il. But. gracious,
he was mad. Conversed about it To the
whole crowd as he sat at the counter in

To tell the truth. Cy was even madder
than he was last summer about the
weeds The sunfowers grew so tall on
the lot that the birds began TO nest IN
them and the spiteful neighbors finally
notified the marshal and when the mar
shal couldn't get Cy to have the weeds
cut down he hired it done himself and
charged It up to Cy. Seems like Cy is
