BIuffed Ii Out.

The stories of the embarrassment of
unsophistocated diners when faced by
highly sophisticated menu cards are
endless and usually amusing. A man
whose career had confined his knowl-
edge of things to eat to such standard
products as ham and eggs and pork
and beans found himself among a
company who ordered intelligently
from an extensive bill of fare. 1t con-
tanned so many classified dishes as to
make a fair sized book, the pages of
which he paved aimlessly and In dis
may. The waiter, who needed only his
order to go to the kitchen. was stand
ing at one side deferentially. with his
order slip and pencil in hand. The de-
lay was noticeable and irritating to
the unskilled diner, and finally he
pointed blindly to the middle of a page
with his finger.
Give me some of that" he said.
The waiter looked over his shoulder
and remarked:

The Wonders of Color.

A small and simple experiment can
be made by any reader which will go
far to convince him or her what
debt we owe to color and what a good
thing it is we have sunlight, which
enables our eyes to take advantage of
the beautiful hues of nature. Make q
room quite dark and then burn some
carbonate of soda in the flame of a
bunsen gas burner. 1t will burn with
an orange yellow light sufficiently
strong to illuminate everything in the
room. but you will realize with a sud
den shock that, bright though the light
is, all distinctions of color have van
ished. Only light and shade remain
A crimson carnation, blue violet. a
red tablecloth. yellow blind-all look
gray or black or white. The faces of
those present look positively repulsive,
for all natural color has disappeared.
No other experiment will so well con-
vince those who have witnessed 1t
how great loss would be that of our
sense for color.

On the riverside promenade at Ems
there is stone inscribed: "13 JUL, 1870.
0 Uhr 10 Min. Morgens" This marks
the exact spot where Wilhelm 1. and
Count Benedict terminated the inter
view which led the French to declare
war. After the Franco-Prussian war
the old emperor often returned to Ems.
On one occasion his doctor mentioned
that the municipality wished to COM
memorate the interview with Benedict
ii, which they considered the most
memorable event in the annals Of the
town. He was instructed to meet the
emperor on the promenade by the
Lahn at n. m. the following day. VIII

The Horrors of Thirst,

There is no horror like the horror OF
thirst-no physical suffering compare
BILE to it. A traveller over the desert
in Egypt describes a man who had lost
his way. wandered about for days
without water and finally came stag
gering into his camp. The mans eyes
were bloodshot, his lips swollen to
twice their natural size; his tongue,
blue parched and swollen. hung out
of his mouth. To allow such man to
drink water at will would be like
pumping cold water into a redhot
steam boiler. 1t would kill him. This
man required to be held forcibly by
four men in his eagerness to get at
drinking water, while a fifth man al
lowed a few drops to trickle down the
throat of the sufferer at long inter
walls. He had to be cooled off little by
little, like an overheated boiler.

a Risky Place For Doctors.

Medical skill is at a rather low ebb
throughout Russia and not without
cause. An American. physician. tempt
ed by the enormous fees so frequently
paid by the nobility, went to st. Peters
burg and within a year had lucrative
practice. Then he was called in to at
tend baron who was suffering from
lung trouble. The doctor gave his pa
tent the best Of care and skill. but the
baron died, and the widow promptly
sued the doctor for damages for I'M
skilled treatment. The unlucky Ameri-
can was sentenced to pay fine Of
1000 roubles and undergo an imprison-
ment of thirty days. Under the cir
cumstances it is not surprising that
the physician left Russia as soon as
he got out of jail. and nothing could
tempt him to return.

A WORE 10 rhE Girls.

A little while ago there was a para

the class Of young men who are inter

Of some day asking them 10 share
homes With them. yet who have not
sensed the fact that It takes money TO

a suggestion or two for some OF these

have realized the fact that It takes
something besides a stunning dress. a
nicely adjusted rat or a popular air
indifferently played or sung and moon
shine to adequately meet the RESPONSE
bilities which a young woman assumes
when she becomes mistress Of a home.
The girl OF today is not supposed to
spin and weave. as did her great
grandmother. but she should know
how to do neatly and we'll the palmer
kinds of sewing. She should know
bow to make as good a loaf Of bread
as her mother az her mothers bread
is sour and soggy It should be a good
deal better and a pie with a Hight
crust; should also know how TO broil
a steak and cook a roast CT a boil. She
should know something Of the care OF
the sick and how 10 keep little child

should realize that any man who Il
worthy Of the name OF husband takes
just as much pride In seeing his wife

kept home Is the comfort and delight
Of a decent man. even II he does do I

HEALTH AND FOOD.

A Doctors Idea Of = Perfectly Balanced
All Year Round Diet.
That every one is more or less sus-
ceptible to tubercular trouble is a mat
ter on which all old fashioned medical
authorities are agreed. They tell us
that we may pass through phase and
out again without knowing It. Accord
ing to Dr. T. Y. Hull in the Dietetic

certain. and that is that II we keep in
good health OF adapt ourselves to a
perfectly balanced diet the danger Ia

He advocates a reduction Of vegeta-
BILE food, relying more upon butter,
meat and nuts. Here. Of course, one
has to face the increased danger Of
tubercular meat, itself probably a
large contributory cause Of consump-
ton.
This is Dr. Hull's idea Of perfectly
balanced diet, calculated. to keep the
average individual in perfect health all
the year round: The basis for the diet
is found In meat. eggs. milk. butter.

daily Of two quarts Of milk. five eggs,
