THE VALUE OF
VARIOUS FOODS.

Physiological chemists occasionally de-
light to tell us that we are the dupes or
esthetic senses and pleasing favors, says
the London LANCET. Men will pay, they
saw. half a guinea for a pint of turtle soup,
which. from a strictly nutritive point or
view. is not worth a twentieth part of that
sum. Oysters, we are told, are an extrava-
GAM form of food, since fourteen OF them
do not contain as much nourishment as a
single egg, while 1t would require the In
gestion of no less than 200 good oysters
before the protein equivalent of a pound OF
beef was reached. Caviare. again, is not
to be compared with the bloater as regards
Its nutritive value; indeed. the latter of
fers the largest amount of nutriment for a
given sum Of any animal food"
II ia evident If we regard these conclu-
sions seriously that a large section OF the
human race is wickedly indulgent, caring
more for the palatable than the nutritious
quality Of food. The same appears to be
true in regard to beverages, and even in
the case Of cigars there is no difference,
chemically speaking, between the penny
Pickwick and the shilling Havana. The
difference of eleven pence Is paid for
flavor. and flavor alone. Physlologically,
1t is possible that a brandy and soda
costing say one shilling is just as salts
factory as a ''pint" of champagne at hve
shillings. Similarly 1t may be said that 8
pint Of beer at sixpence is quite as good,
dietetically speaking, as a small bottle OF
Chateau Margeaux at three shillings and
sixpence.
There are, however, clearly instances In
which In no sense can the nutritive equiva-
lenN of food and beverages be summed UT
in so many pounds, shillings and pence
How often 1t Is found. for example, that
the invalid may be tempted to take a few
oysters in preference to a small beef hllet.
or some turtle soup when calves head, the
basis of mock turtle, would scarcely appeal
to him, even though it may be more thar
equal In nutritive value to the only reptile
used to any extent as food In this country.
When a person refuses to take a given
food, however nutritive and wholesome II
may be, because 1t is not tempting to the
sight or the palate, 1t Is In many instances
probable that II he struggles to overcome
his fastidiousness such food may prove tic
tax his digestive functions and may ever
cause gastric trouble.
The chemical analysis of food and physi-
illogical experiments in the test tube do no
take into account this psychical factor OF
digestion, for the digestive process Is well
begun when the sight of food Is pleasing
On the contrary. when food does not ap-
peal to the eye 1t Is likely not to appeal tt
the stomach, It is hardly reasonable tC
conclude, therefore. that the price of flavor
Is always the price of luxury.

SURPRISE FRIENDS BY
WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT

Many Newark people were surprised to
hear OF the marriage of Miss Kittie
Jacques, of this city, and Herbert c..
Christensen, Of l Marshall street, which
took place In Elizabeth, Monday evening.
May 10, but which was kept secret until
a few days ago, when the couIfe de-
cided to make 1t known.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Otis Glazebrook, pastor of st. Johns
Episcopal Church, Elizabeth, at his home,
in the presence of his daughter and niece
and Edward Stanley, of Newark, who
acted as best man. Later the three young
people enjoyed a wedding supper and the
couple returned to Newark. As they had
not intended to be married at so early
a date, Mr.. and Mrs. Christensen decided
to say nothing about 1t, and the bride
continued to hold her position with the
Prudential Insurance Company until two
weeks ago.
The couple are residing at 1 Marshall
street. Since their marriage has been
made known they have been the recipients
of many handsome present.

VIII o kindly let me know through
the question box how to clean a Whlte
plume, and win the thanks OF
A CONSTANT READER.
Following is an excellent method OF
cleaning feathers:
Coll the plume so as to be able TO get
It in a half gallon jar. pour In a quart or
Eaeoline and screw on the cover. Snake
gently back and forth about a dozen
times. Then remove the feather, shake
well and put into an airy place to dry
and lose the odor of the gasoline. II not
clean enough put back In the jar and
repeat the process, after the sediment has
been poured from the gasoline.
Do not use the gasoline near any Kind
of fire. as 1t Is highly infammable. The
best way Is to use it out of doors.
To curl the plume draw the little strands
over the edge OF q blunt silver knife. After
the gasoline is completely gone hold the
feather over the heat of the stove, which
will cause it to become fluffy, with tine
ends curling I'D.
Please tell me what to put in the water
to keep a green-checked avn dress from
fading. and oblige A READER.
Add a good-sized lump of alum to the
water in which the dress is washed, and
ar other lump to the rinsing water.

A quick and effective method Of utiliz-

which can be equally well lone by either
young or old.

across and cover neatly. Take a piece Of

HOMEMADE CANDY.


Nut h&Es
Have ready a cupful nut meats mixed,
or OF one kin only, and slightly sdlted
and warmed. Put into a saucepan a
pound of sugar and two or three table,
spoonfuls water. Stir until the sugar Is

and pour into shallow pans well buttered.
When slightly cool cut in strips.
Peanut Candy.
Put into a saucepan two cups molasses,
one cup brown sugar, one tablespoonful
butter and one of vinegar. Crack and rub
the skins from a pint of peanuts, turn into
buttered pans and when the candy
reaches the brittle stage pour over the
nuts. Cut into squares while still warm.
MoIasses Candy.
Put two cupfuls Of New Orleans mo-
Iasses, one cup sugar and a tablespoonful
vinegar and butter the size of a small
egg into a saucepan, allowing plenty of
room for the boiling. Cook hard for half
an hour, or until the drops retain their
shape and are brittle when put in cold
water. Do not boil a moment beyond that
point. Stir half a teaspoonful bicarbonate
of soda into the candy and turn at once
into buttered pans to cool. AS soon as
cool enough to handle oil the hands with
olive oil or a little butter and begin pull
ing. Throw the candy over a good strong
hook and pull towards you, taking care
to make the candy pull and not your
hands. When as white as desired, pull
u into long pieces and cut with an old
pair of shears into any length desired

MOBILIZE
The Disaereeable Girl.

Is there anything more annoying than
to go on a picnic or pleasure trip OF any
kind and have in the party a disagreeable
girl, whose greatest delight seems TO lie
in differing with everyone else and max
ing up her mind not to go where they
would like to 90.
Such a girl, with three others, went
down to Rockaway not long ago to spend
the day and enjoy their first sea bath OF
the season. On the trip down she was the
merriest Of the group, laughing constant
1y and turning every remark OF her com
panions into a joke. But when they ar
rived at their destination and were get
ting off the boat the others happened to
get a little bit in the lead and were sep
arated by the crowd from the first girl,
who Immediately decided that they did II
on purpose: that they did not want her.
and that she was sorry she came. When
she caught up with the others she was In
the midst Of n fine fit of sulks, and no
amount of coaxing could dispel the gloom
from her countenance. They wanted to
go to the beach Mt once, and she said she
would rather go on some OF the things.
When they agreed to this she stated that
she would not go on at ALL because they
only agreed to go because she wanteu
them to, and not for their own pleasure.
Finally she got to the beach, and began
to pout anew because she had no rubber
cap. but she would not accept one OF tne
girls when It was offered TO her, and thus
1t went all day long, until the girls al
caught her mood and hardly spoke to eacn
other on the return trip.

The liability OF oily waste to ignite
from Spontaneous combustion was
shown a few days ago by handful
which had been discarded by man
who had been using it in rubbing UP
some furniture. The spectacle was mol
new TO the man as he had seen it done
before but to the witnesses 1t was
something of Il novelty. The prepare
ton which the man was using was o
mixture Of iinseed oil, japan and 1T
lie turpentine, and the waste, which
had been saturated was thrown on 70
some bricks so that no danger wouid
result from its igniting. The waste
soon commenced to grow warm INSIDE
ana in less than an hour was smokng'
ana on being opened the center OF the
bunch was found to have turned brown
where it commenced to burn.
