The food supply of New York is so enormous that though the rich and well-to-do gorged from morning to night they simply could not eat it all.}, There would still remain an abund- ance for every one if some way could be found of distributing the fragments. Just consider the figures which I have on careful authority: New York receives every week 10,000,000 pounds ot dressed beef, 12,000,000 pounds of pork, ham and pig’s meat, 1,500,000 pounds of poultry, 1,000,000 pounds of sausages, 1,000,000 pounds of mutton and lamb, over 2,000,000 pounds of liver, heart, tripe, ete., over 1,000,000 pounds of canned meats, 500,000 pounds of game, and 1,000,000 pounds of fish. The fragments of this food, tons and tons of it, are collected every day and carried off to fatten pigs in Jersey or load the fertilizer scows, that ply down the bay. Every day of the year from 500 to 900 cartloads of food, much of it perfectly good, are taken jrom the homes and hotels of New York and simply thrown away. A million people could live and live well on this waste if the problem of col- jlecting-and distributing it could once be solved. And I suppose any kind- hearted individual could solve it in a smal] way himself—with a wagon and a little brains—Success. CHANGED HUSBAND. Wife Made Wise Change in Food. Change of diet is the only way to really cure stomach and bowel trouble. A woman says: “My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered from it for several years. It was al- most impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results. “J thought this was largely due to the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so, and be- gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the begin- ning, his digestion improved; he suf- fered much less from his nervousness, and when he added Grape-Nuts fpod to his diet he was soon entirely cured. “My friend, Mrs. — ——, of Vicks- burg (my former home) had’ become a nervous wreck also from dyspepsia. Medicines had no effect, neither did cravel help her. On my lest visit home, several months ago, I persuaded her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de- spair, and consented. She stuck to it until it restored her health so com- pletely that she is now the most enthu- sigstic friend of Grape-Nuts that I ever knew. She eats it with cream or dry, just as it comes from the package— keeps it in her room and eats it when- ever she feels like it. “J pegan eating Grape-Nuts food, myself, when my baby was two months old, and I don’t know what I should have done without it. My ap- petite was gone, I was weak and nerv- cous and afforded but very litle nour- ishinent for the child. The Grape-Nuts food, of which I soon grew very fond, speedily set all this right again, and the baby grew healthful, rosy and peautiful as a mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape- Nuts food himself. I wish every tired young mother knew of the good that Grape-Nuts would do her.” _ PINS. FAITH TO BATTLESHIP. Capt. Mahan’s Conclusions Drawn from Battle of Sea of Japan. Capf. A. T, Mahan, writing for Col- lier's on “The Battle of the Sea of Japan,” discusses the value of sub- marine boats as exemplified by Ad- miral Togo’s attacks upon the Rus- sian fleet. He says: To recapitulate: After allowance has’ been made for the demonstrated superiority of the Japanese in train- ing and experience, it seems clear from Togo’s use of his vessels, and from such details of the action as have so far been received, that the superiority of the battleship and of the gun, for the main purposes of naval warfare, has not been shaken. On the contrary, by an account at- tributed to a Japanese, It appears that the remaining Russian battle- ships, after the loss of the Borodino sand in the subsequent confusion, though already much mauled beat off after dark, using their searchlights, two attacks by the whole flotilla of the enemy’s destroyers, acting in two squadrons; and Japanese attacks have not heretofore, in this war, been found easy to repel. Should the of- ficial accounts confirm this, it will approach demonstration that unin- jured battleships, manned by watch- ful seamen who keep their head, will in the long run suffer from torpedo attack only in the same proportion as military force suffers from other in- cidents of war. Let it be mentioned also that the torpedo vessel, from the delicacy of its constitution—a box of machinery—and from the narrowness of its coal supply, will always be most numerous and efficient in home waters. This advantage in this case fell to the Japanese, and it may have contributed to determine Togo’s choice of position. This particular consideration shows that, in the broad view of naval policy, the func- tion of the torpedo vesesl is defens- ive, although its local action is offens- ive. I have not seen any indication which to me seemed conclusive, or even probable, of the employment of the submarine in these engagements; but neither does there appear any certain reason why any one who so prefers may not atribute to them such amount of the damage done as to hiza seems likely. Happy Love. Since the sweet knowledge I possess ‘That she I love is mine, All nature throbs with happiness And. wears a face divine. The woods seem greener than they were, The skies are brighter blue; The stars shine clearer, and the air Lets finer sunlight through. Until I loved I was a child. And sported on the sands; But now the ocean opens out, With all its happy lands. The circles of my &ympathy Extend from earth to heaven; I strove to pierce a mystery. And lo, the clue is given. The woods, with all their boughs and leaves, Are preachers of delight, And wandering clouds on summer eves Are Edens to my sight. My confidants and comforters ‘Are river, hill, and grove, And sun, and Stars, and ‘heaven’s blue deeps, And all that live and move. O friendly hills! O garrulous woods! a) athizing air! And that from her you've caught The changeful glories ever new That robe you in my thought. Grief, from the armor of my heart, Rolls off like rustling rain; "Tis life to love; but double life To be beloved’ again. —Charles Mackay. Paying for Social Mention. The expenditure that comes as the greatest shock to Americans who rent London houses and expect to break in- to royal society and tap the prince of Wales playfully with their fans is the amount of money it takes to get one’s social activities “noticed” in the newspapers. To get the announce- ment that “Mrs. Rocks of New York bas taken Lord So-and-So's Mayfair residence for the season” into the chief London daily and weekly jour- nals costs more than $500. The fash- fonable Morning Post alone charges $25. The newspaper rule on this point is a hard and fast one and the only exception to it is royalty. This rule seems to an cutsider a good one. There’s money in it for the newspaper and it keeps a lot of cheap peewee so- ciety out of the public eye. Eyes and Sunlight. Sunlight, as distinct from sun heat, is of benefit to human eyes. Unless refracted from white cliffs or stretches of sand, or by other means, it does not cause any impairment of vision, says the Chicago News. It is the natural provision of the sense of sight, and is in harmony with the natural period for work and pleasure—that is, the day. So soon as we introduce. artifi- cial light we deal with that which needs caution. A dim light injures vision, because the eye alters its shape to receive the feeble rays. On the other hand, a strong artificial light will produce inflammation of the eye surface and worse. Father and Son Graduate Together.

I have puzzled over this fact for a long time, but have been unable to arrive at any sensible solution of the peculiarity. Across Canal street the chimneys are either erect or if they are inclined to be out of plumb are just as likely to lean in one di rection as another, while in French town they invariably tilt to the north. On Charles street this anomaly is par-\ ticularly apparent. Some of the chim- neys closely resemble the leaning tow- er of Pisa, and it would seem that the slightest jar would send them toppling over. However, the old build- ers were good workmen. They put up. walls and chimneys to stand and many of the other buildings which are now apparently crumbling to decay would last for many years if some care were taken of them. Speaking of the chim- neys again, I have asked many people for an explanation. Few had noticed the tendency and none could suggest a reasonable cause."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Why He Paid the Fare. Three small boys who were in a crowded car going to a suburban ball game were discussing the effect the cost of the trip would have on their supply of pocket money, and had reached the point where they were de- ciding if they wouldn’t have to walk home if they paid to get into’ the grounds. “I won't,” declared one of the boys. “Why not?” asked his incredulous companions. | The boy with the 5-cent surplus jerk- ed his head in the direction of a young man on the end of the seat and ex- claimed, “He paid my fare.” “Oh, I know what he did that for,” commented one of the youthful cynics. “He’s after your sister."—New York Press.

Experience That Would Seem to Prove Salt a Natural Need. Some men who were camping in the Adirondacks several years ago, on breaking camp in the autumn, left an old tub which was saturated with salt brine. On returning to the same camp the next year, they found the tub had been gnawed until little of it was left. They were not long in finding out what animal had done this work, for the camp was overrun with Canadian poreupines. At night they became such a nuisance that the campers were obliged to kill them to protect their property. The handle of a paddle was gnawed half through. The explanation of their presence in such numbers during that year, when they had not been noticeably abundant in the previous year, is that they had made a rendezvous of the camp, being attracted by the old brine tub. On this they feasted all winter, and for that reason were greatly pleased with the locality. An interesting query is this: Is the liking of salt an acquired or a natura] taste? Were they ever able to gratify that taste to any extent before man gave them a chance to do so? It Sounds Simple. Do you wish to test a coin? Don't bite it, but pass a good coin around it edgeways.

This season, more than ever, a des- perate attempt has been made to re- vive the chaperon, and an equally firm stand is made against her by the young married hostess, who want all the room at their command for their young guests. I hope the chaperons will win the day. The decline of the chaperon has certainly been synony- mous with the decline of manners, and one might also go so far as to say of morals—London Lady’s Pictorial.

Grow to Twice Actual Weight of Those Exposed to Sunlight Only— Latest Victory for This New and Beautiful Mluminant. The experiments recently made at Cornell University prove that the beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are as effective as sunlight on the-| growth of plants, and this may soon become a subject for serious consider- ation by all progressive cultivators of the soil. The results of the experiments are astonishing, inasmuch as they show conclusively the, great increase ot growth attained by supplementing “The Light of Nature” with “The Light of Acetylene” during the hours in which the plants would otherwise be in darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected to acetylene light during the night, grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daylight only, all other conditions being equal, ! and peas had blossomed and partially matured pods with the help of acety- lene light, while without the added light not even buds were apparent. Acetylene is already taking its place as an illuminant for towns from a central plant, for lighting houses, churches, schools and isolated build- ings of all kinds, and it is being used successfully for many other purposes. A striking and important feature of acetylene is the ease and small ex- pense with which it can be made available compared with the great ad- vantages derived from its use. The machine in which the gas is‘ gener- ated is easily installed. Beats Arithmetic. Teacher—It you had a suit of clothes and somebody should give you an- other, how many would you have? Willie—One.

Increasing Among Women, But Sufferers Need Not Despair THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE a Of all the diseases known, with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal, and statistics show that this disease is on the increase among women. i { MrsEmma Sawyer,) mma Sawyer, Unless early and correct treatmentis applied the patient seldom survives when once the disease is fastened upon her.
