DIET FOR CHILDREN.
How Mothers May Be Helped In Pro.
vidng Suitable Food.


In family where there are children
the mother is often compelled to cook
separately for the young ones. This
extra trouble may easily be avoided
If in preparing the food for the old
folks the following practical suggcs-
tons be kept in mind, says the New
York American:
Frying should not be chosen as q
means of cooking meat for children.
When preparing beefsteak have a hot
fire. place the steak Oh the gridiron
and hold it close to the fire for a min
ute, turning it rapidly. The fierce heat
coagulates the alhumen near the sur
face, seals the pores of the meat and
keeps in the juice. When the outside
Is scared hold it farther from the fire
until it is done. On removing sprinkle
It with salt.
Steak should be cut about one inch
thick. The top of the round is juicy
and we'll favored part of the beef and
steak cut from there is less expensive
than the sirloin or choicer steaks and
more nutritious. This same method
Of broilng may be applied to other
meats.
Poultry Is not more desirable for
children than beef or lamb, although
being more delicate 1t Is sometimes
lark meat may be given, the former
being preferable. 1t may be roasted.
boiled or broiled.
Fat is essential to the proper growth
of the tissues of the nerves and brain
and is peculiarly important to children.
MS the brain cnlarges rapidly during
childhood Next TO butter and cream
bacon Is one of the most palatable
forms in which it can he given. 1t
should not lie overlooked, as then too
much of the fat is fried out. Some
times bread soaked in bacon fat viii

Cabbage and raw cucumb ers are un.
suitable but any other well cooked
vegetable Is harmless in small quantl-
ties. Stewed celery, peas, beans, ten

mato are all useful.
Any fresh, ripe, seasonable fruit may
be given early in the day to child

to have IT sound-that Is without sus

Fruit having skin should be pared,

Here is simple method of curing
facial neural gia, says the Cincinnati En-
Quirer: If the neuralgia is in the right
side of the face, the left hand should
be placed in a basin of water as hot
DIS can be borne, or if neuralgia is in
The left side of the face, then the right
hand should be placed in the hot water
1t is asserted that in this way relief
may be obtained in less than five min
utes. The explanation is that the twd
nerves which have the greatest number
of tactile nerve endings are the fifth
and the mcdan nerves. AS the fibers
of these two nerves cross, any impulse
conveyed to the left hand will affect
tie right side of the face, or if applied
to the right hand will affect the left
side of the face. This is on account of
lie crossing of the cords.
Toothpicks.
TootJpicks were in common use In
ancient Rome. Sometimes they were
made of quilts, but preferably Of the
wood Of the mastic or lentisk tree,
whose astrngcnt and aromatic gum is
known to modern dentistry Martial's
epigrams frequently mention the den
tiscalpium, or toothpick, and recon-
mend the wooden kind above the quill.
The toothpick was taken to England
by travellers from Italy and France.
AS Mares says, The using of it in
public was long deemed an affected
mark of gentilty." Shakespeare takes
this view when he makes one of the
characters in King John remark:
Now your traveller
He and his toothpick at my worship'a
mess.
And when my knightly stomach is suf-
feed.
Why, then l suck my teeth and catechisa
My picked man of countries.
The most fantastic use to which tho
toothpick has ever been put was the
sixteenth and seventeenth century fash
ion of wearing it in the hat as a tro
ply or an ornament.

SLEEP AND DEATH
BOTH NATURAL OCCURRENCES
AND WITHOUT PAIN.
Reasoning Proves That There Can Be
No Consciousness At the Instant
Of Either--Workin2 OF
Natural Law.

The phenomenon called sleep may
be summed UP In the following propo-
sitions, says writer In the Cosmo-
politan: :.
First-Sleep Is temporary death OF
the functions Of the sensitive system.
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Second-This death is temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform its functions during sleep and
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under three heads, natural
death, sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death Is death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only in degree.
The gradual loss OF sensibility by
the sensitive organs which precedes
sleep now takes place In the vital
system, and all the organs pass into
permanent sleep together. There can
be no pain preceding or at the mo-
ment Of such a death. any more than
there is pain preceding and at the mo-
ment of passing into temporary Sleep
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to a sudden injury from
without or within the body SUFFICIENT
to destroy at once all 'irritabflity OF
both sensitive and vital organs. 1t
requires no argument to prove that
a person who is suddenly stricken
dead can suffer no pain. The ele'
ment OF time must be present In or
der to suffer physical pain. and In
the sudden death Of person the ele'
ment of time is absent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form
of death, namely. death from disease.
As soon as disease Is established,
dying begins, which Is but more
rapid than natural ceasing OF all SEN
abilities, accompanied with more or
less suffering, according to the cause
which produces It. This dying and
suffering, called disease. must termin'
ate either in so-called death. which Is
insensibility to 1t. or In recovery
which is the removal of the cause oil
It. But in any event the suffering has
been endured, no matter whether the
final termination Is death or re
covery.
No one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking
into natural or temporary sleep. MOI
shall we. by supreme agony or II
any other way. be conscious OF pass
| ing into permanent Sleep
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events
in the life history Of our bodies, ant
we shall know no more about the lat
ter event at the time 1t occurs thar
we did about the former.

BOY WINS NOVEL SUIT.

In Mississippi town recently a small

THE LENGTH OF ETERNITY.
This Man Had His Own and Peculiar
Ideas on the subject.

Mrs. C. w. McCulloch. of Chicago.
on taking up her new Office OF justice
of the peace, told Chicago reporter
that in the performance of marriage
ceremonies she proposed to omit the
word "obey." "In these enlightened
days." said Mrs. McCulloch, 1.-The word
obey has lost its meaning In the mar.
riage contract. The best wife does
not propose to obey her husband,
any more than the best husband pro-
poses to obey his wife. Obedience Is
for dogs, horses-creatures without
reason. So I think that we should
drop this meaningless word. For 1t Is
meaningless. AS meaningless as a
certain other word was to certain
boorish husband. The husband had
been particularly nasty one rainy Sun
