the priory and convent of Worcester,
for the year 1893:
Food was. probably. sufficiently mo-

fish, bread and beer-and little else
no sugar, and few vegetables. The
monks had, however. rice and cereal
called 'amigdalis, which they used for
puddings, probably some form OF
starch. Beef for the convent break
fast is given at an average cost OF
80 cents OF our money per capita. for

Have you ever noticed that the only
fruit you ever see upon a free lunch
or saloon counter Is a lemon?
This may be significant; anyway.
the reason Is because your heavy
drinker is never hearty eater OF
fruit. And since this is a proven fact.
we can readily see why the reverse is
true. that they who eat much fruit are
never addicted TO liquor.
The moral is obvious-eat fruit.
Fruits are, for the most part, wa
ter and carbohydrates, and the man
who, in his diet ignores the necessity
for starches and carbohydrates, the
man who eats exclusively of meats
and other proteids. suffers a craving
for he knows not what; he thinks It
means that he is thirsty, and he takes
drink. Let that man eat an apple.
an orange. or a dish Of cooked fruit
(even the much-despised prunes), ana
he is satisfied without the resort to
alcoholic liquors.
Again, the moral is obvious.

1t ruins the best fruit to cook it
quickly; violent boiling would spoil
the Apples of Hesperides. Apples may
be boiled whole, and the shape will
be preserved If they are put on slow
fire. and simmered in water to cover.
When they have come to boil, place
the vessel in another pot of water.
Stick few cloves in the apples and
remove from stove when soft. If not
stirred they win not be mushy and
win be found a pleasant change from
apple sauce.
Prunes are another dish often
ruined by rapid cooking They should
be first washed in hot water. soaked
over night in cold, and simmered very
slowly three hours is not too long).
This makes them plump and tender
without breaking. and will take less
sugar.
Any cooked fruit. souffie, whip OF
sauce is better and more appetizing
for the addition of a bit of meringue
on top and a few nut meats scattered
over.

Steam COOKING.

It has been scientifically proven that
cooking with steam is the most effec-
tive way to preserve the food values.
The steam permeates every part of
the meat or vegetable, cooking 1t thor
oughly, yet leaving the juice and nour-
ishing parts intact. Baked. boiled or
roasted food is better than that which
is fried, but often tasteIess and dry.
Steaming leaves food redolent with its
own flavor and easier of digestion.
Many devices have been invented
which make steam cooking pTactic-
able and cheap. and 1t is the duty of
every housewife to investigate them.

Or. HempI viii Throw New Light on
History Of Rome.

Stanford University, Gala discov-
cry which will have important results
in the world OF science has been made
public by Prof George Hempl, Stan
fords professor OF philology. Accord
ing TO statements made by him, he has
discovered the key to ancient inscrip-
tions on Etruscan tombs and columns,
so long a mystery to archaeologists.
The professor has become widely
known by solving the inscriptions on
German rnnes.
Prof. Hempl declared that his find
win have far-reaching results upon
ancient Italian history and upon the
disputed facts Of Latin grammar and
etymology But so inscriptions out Of
mass of 5000 have thus far been de-
ciphered by him. but the translation Of
shese, he says, has been enough to
show that the history Of Italy as writ
ten at present must be greatly modi-
fed when his work is completed. The
popular theory that the Etruscans and
Romans were entirely different peoples
is entirely exploded by this discovery,
declared Prof. Hempl.
AS made clear by him, the language
OF these neighboring nations was alike
in all important respects, save its
writing, and the conclusion, he do
clares, is that the nation sprang from
the same race. DIR. Hempl showed that
the Etruscans were the outgrowth cf
the 7'roians after the fall Of Tro@.
