Movement to Suppress Tuberculosis. Science has demonstrated beyond question that pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption of the lungs is both a preventable and a curable disease. This disease Is produced by germs which find their way into the body through abrasions of the skin, through the mucous membrane of the mouth or the intestines and through the lungs. The germs of the disease are found in the sputum of persons suffering from tuberculosis. The germs are also found in the flesh and milk of animals suffering from the disease. The germs are found nearly everywhere. These germs cannot live In the tissues of a thoroughly healthy person, as the cells of the body are capable of destroying the germs, but when the body is weakened by indigestion, by the habits of breathing foul or bad air, by anything which impairs the health, the tissues lose their power to destroy germs so that when they enter the body they find lodgement, grow and develop and tuberculosis of the lungs, bowels or f some other part is the result. . Statistics show that at least 150,000 persons die of this disease in this country annually. Four or five times that number of persons are sick all the time with this disease. Tuberculosis kills more than any other malady. Experience has shown that the disease is not incurable, as has been generally supposed, but is a very curable malady if taken in time, and if the right treatment is applied. Not less than one hundred thousand lives could be saved every year by the application of proper means for preventing and curing this terrible disease. Buttermilk for Consumptives. Buttermilk is an excellent food for tubercular patients. It may be taken In the quantity of one to three quarts a day, according to the amount of othel food taken. The patient may take two meals, three meals, or four meals a day, according to the quantity of food taken at each meal, and the kind of food. A safe rule is never tt allow a consumptive to go hungry. He should eat whenever he has appetite, so that the full digestive power of the atomach may be utilized In furnishing tho body with constructive material. Danger in Alcohol in Cold Woather. When the skin is warm it is red or pink in color. The cold air of winter causes the skin to become whiter in color. This is due to the contraction of the blood vessels of the skin. The amount of blood passing through the akin is decreased, and the amount of heat thrown off into the cold air is likewise decreased. If a glass of wine or .brandy is taken the skin becomes red. The sensation of warmth produced is delusive. The victim imagines himse'f warmer. Indeed, the skin is warmer, but at the same time a great increase is observed in the heat thrown off from the skin. The result is an enormous loss of heat to the inside of the body. Dr- - Parkes, the eminent English Ail observers consanitarian, says: demn the use of spirits, and even of wine or beer, as a preventive against cold." The names of Dr. King, Dr. Kane, Capt. Kennedy and Dr. Hayes may also be cited as holding to this opinion," In the last expedition in search of Sir John Franklin the whole crew were teetotalers. Prof. Miller states that the Russian military authorities Interdict its use absolutely Jn the army when troops are about to move under extreme cold, part cf the duty of the corporals being to smell carefully the breath of each man on the morning parade, and to turn back from the march those A Toothache A medical remedy who have Indulged in spirits, it having been found that Mich men are pe euliarly subject to be frostbitten and otherwise injiiied (ir.

Wanted An Appetite. Don't be without one. Why go to (he dining room under protest.. Don't try to buy appetite at a dollar a bottle. Eain It. One should enjoy eaiiug and he will, if he has a natural appetite. such as conies to one who works for it. The outdoor life creates appetite, and a cold morning bath awakers the brain, lungs, heart, liver, stomach and the appetite. An Ice bag over the stomach for half an hour before tneuls Is a good natural appetizer for a bedridden invalid. Another metjiod Is a hot application over the abdomen for five minutes, followed by an Ice mb over the same parts for one or two minutes This not only produces, an appetite but stimulates the flow of the digestive juices and thus furnishes the ability to digest. Diet for Tuberculosis. The tubercular patient needs or foods, but only just the amount which can be assimilated and utilized by the body. Any excess must be treated like poisons, and hence must be a burden to both liver and kidneys, and a waste of vital energy. Protelds must be taken, not only In moderate quantity, but in the purest form possible. The vegetable kingdom presents protelds In combination with fats In great abundance, ahd In nuts, which can be made easily digestible by thorough chewing or by proper e - ten-inc- pro-teld- tissue-buildin- preparation. The yolks cf eggs afford also a combination of fats and protelds which Is admirably suited to the tubercular patient. Milk, especially rich milk, is another food adapted to this class of patients when It does not produce biliousness" through Indigestion. Many tubercular patients have dilatation of the stomach. Such cases must avoid milk. Nearly all can take nuts If the right kind is selected and great care Is taken with the mastication. Pecans, hickory nuts, almonds and filberts, plnons, or pine nuts are the best varieties. Half a pound of nuts may be taken dally by the consumptive, not only without harm, but with great benefit. If combined with other foods. A diet consisting of nuts, bread and fruits Is a perfect dietary for the tubercular patient. The yolks of a dozen eggs may be used In place of nuts. d WHOLESOME RECIPES. Lentil and Nut Loaf To one pint of rather dry lentil pulp add one cup of grated Brazil nuts and sufficient stale breadcrumbs to make a stiff mixture. Season with salt and sage if desired. Press into a bread tin and bake in a slow oven one hour or longer. Fruit Soup Into one cup of warm water put one rounding tablespoonful of sago and cook In a double boiler one half hour. Then add two or three whole cooked prunes, cup stewed raisins, two tablespoonfuls stewed cranberries, one teaspoonful lemon juice and sugar to suit the taste. Allow It to heat until the fruit Is hot, and serve. Vermicelli or pearl barley may be substituted for sago, and dried cherries, with strawberry and lemon juice, used in place of the fruits mentioned. Snowballs with Prunes Steam rice one hour or until tender, then form Into balls, with one large or two small prunes In the center. Serve with a hot sauce made by warming for a few f minutes cup of meltose, to which the Juice of one lemon has been added and a little prune Juice to make It of a consistency to pour easily. Banana and Nut Salad Peel three bananas and slice thin; add f cupful broken (not chopped) walnut meats. Pour over this cup of the dressing and mix well. Serve on platters garnished with lettuce leaves. Peas Croquettes Boil until thoroughly done two cupfuls of Scotch peas. Rub through a colander and add two eggs, a little minced parsley, a small grated onion, salt to taste and dry bread crumbs enough to make quite stiff. Form Into croquettes, roll in beaten eggs and breadcrumbs and bake In oven about ten minutes. A cup of chopepd walnuts will improve the croquettes. one-fourt- h one-hal- one-hal- two-third- s well-beate- n Thought Blacks Immortal. The natives of the West Indies Imagined that the negroes, w ho were Imported in droves as slaves from western Africa by the early Spanish governors, were immortal, says Pearsons Weekly.

My house, 12 by 18 feet, standing on posts with the chimney In the center, is not square with the street and has to be moved. The front part will have to be moved 10 feet, and the rear part 4 feet. The best way would be to first move the bouse to the place and position required. The house should be raised six or eight Inches higher than required, and after the stone wall is built It can be lowered down on It. This makes a complete job. Place a stick of timber across each corner of the building, letting the ends rest on blocking on the ground outside of the wall, and another timber on the post in the cellar and under the sill to block on outside; these last timbers should be 9 and 12 feet from each corner. After the walls are built, and the building resting on them, these beams are removed and wall built up to Bills. Distinguishing Sex in Geese. It Is not easy on the part of the uninitiated to tell the difference between the goose and the gander, especially in the larger and heavier varieties. The following general description Is applicable to most cases: The male is larger than the female. The head of the goose la smaller, the neck slightly thinner and she is deeper in body. The call of the gander Is loud, long and shrill, while that of the goose Is much softer. A way to discover sexes Is to separate a flock by driving part on each side of a building or fence, and It la then comparatively easy to discover the ganders by their calls. During the breeding season the gander is Inclined to be vicious and will vigorously defend the goose and her nest should she be sit- ting. Manure Receptacle. , It Is all right to allow the manure to fall through grating in the floor, but It Is not well to let it remain there for any length of time. A large dairy barn Is arranged with boxes beneath the floor to catch the manure. These boxes are square, tapering to a narrow outlet, and so arranged that each box receives the dropings of about twenty cows. These boxes are cleared out several times each week, and the manure taken direct to the fields. If the manure was allowed to accumulate the atmosphere of the stable would undoubtedly become con- au experience while hunting big game in the central prowncis of India as fol We had been shooting for lows: some months anil up to a certain date had had very good luck Tigris and other blasts were all plentiful, and our hag was a good one.

They were serious sheets intended for business offices and were The delivered by special messengers. man who first thought of a bright, newsy and cheap paper is almost unknown, says the Washington Star. He was Horatio D. Sheppard, and, strange to say, he was not a journalist. He was a student of medicine, who used to pass daily through Chatham street. New York, where all sorts of things were sold for a few cents. He noticed that the cheapest articles sold most readily. Nobody seemed to mind spending a cent. Suddenly the thought of a newspaper came to his mind to be sold by boys, just as peanuts and candy were sold. Sheppard tried to interest the printers of the town in his plan. They laughed at it, as people laughed when Fulton spoke of a steamboat. To sell newspapers like cakes seemed ridiculous. One printer, however, listened to Sheppard. This was Horace Greeley. He was born in New England in 1811, coming to New York at 20 years of age. He excited ridicule by his homespun clothes, hut soon people realized that despite his clothes and peculiar appearance Horace Greeley knew what he was about. With a friend named Story he formed a partnership. They agreed to publish Sheppards paper, but insisted that the price must be 2 cents. On Jan. 1, 1833, the Morning Post was ibsued amid a terrible snowstorm. " There were few people In the streets. The newsboys were soon chilled and were glad to run home. The Post lived just two weeks and three days and then appeared no more. The venture, however, was not a failure, for from it the modern newspaper was developed. Fun in Chasing Whal c s The whaling bark John and Captain Shorey, reached port early yesterday morning, forty-sidays from Okhotsk sea and twenty-si- x Her days from Dutch Harbor. cruise was marked with more than a little excitement. She met with fairly good luck and brought to port 5,000 pounds of whalebone and 330 barrels Win-thro- p, x of oil. Two whales that 's and crew failed to secure gave the whalemen two thrilling experiences, but by the greatest of good luck no lives were lost In either chase. One whale, which grows in size with each telling of the tale of its escape, towed one of the blubber hunterB boats for many miles at a frantic pace. When the whale's endurance seemed to have reached its limit and the whalemen were preparing to adminis the-Joh- Win-throp- ter a few finishing touches with harpoons and bombs the big fish changed its course and headed for an ice field. For more than a mile it skirted the ragged edge of the pack, taking the boat along at a pace that would have satisfied Barney Oldfield. Suddenly the whale dived under the ice. The boat struck and shattered, and the jar sent the crew sliding over the rough green field of ice. Bruised, tired and disappointed, the men were picked up by another boat and taken back to the John and Winthrop. Another whale, with a whisk of his fluke, sent a boat flying into the air. The occupants received a bad scare and a very cold bath. The boat was smashed. During the early part of the cruise the John and Winthrop lost her rudder and was fitted with a new one at Yokohama. Womans Stand for Rights The first recorded public meeting in the Interest of "womans rights was held In the town of Medford in 1701, says the Boston Herald. The gallery of the church was occupied by the young unmarried people of the f congregation, one side and the front gallery being given to the young women. But In the seating In this eventful year the young men were given the entire front of the gallery as well and the young women were only allowed one side of the gallery. Then It was that things began to happen. Treatment like this wasnt to be tolerated even for a moment. The blood of the .uture mothers of the revolution was fully aroused and the young women made such an uproar and commotion that It speedily became a town matter and a town meeting was called to restore to them their rights In half of the front one-hal- The young men of the day were bitterly opposed to extending any new privileges to. women and the fight extended beyond Medford. Shortly after the introduction of pues into the churches, by which families were separated from the remainder of the congregation, the selectmen of the town of Newbury gave permission to a group of young women to build a pne in the gallery of the church, upon their own side of the house. This extension of privilege was resented by the young bachelors to such a degree that they broke a window of the church, forced an entrance and hacked the pew In pieces. For this act of sacrilege the young men of Newbury were fined 10 each and sentenced to be whfppedtor pilloried. But they confessed their folly and asked pardon, so this part of their punishment wa3 omitted.

He began the manufacture of the thread in a very small way. It was at first put in skeins and had to be wound Into little balls by the purchaser, and then Mr. Clark Invented the modem spool. He had them made by a wood turner, half a gross at a time. They cost him 6d. dozen, and he charged the purchaser of the thread a halfpenny for the spool, which, however, was refuted when the spool was returned. The ladies of Paisley used to come to his shop with their spools and wait while he wound the thread on them.

The origin of sewing cotton, without which no woman would admit that she could exist today, was told at a cotton manufacturers meeting recently by James Clark, head of the great thread house of Paisley, Scotland. It was discovered In 1803 by his grandfather, who had a little business in Paisley, making silk twine for heddles, which were used by every weaver. The silk came from Hamburg, and in 1803 Napoleon caused the stock held there to be burned In order to hamper British trade.
