Sir Isaac Holden, the millionaire member of Parliament from Yorkshire, now nearly 90 years old, believes with John Wesley that phosphates of lime, in which flour is so rich, are good for growing children, young people, and young mothers, but shorten the life of the elderly by making bones dense and weighty muscles rigid, “furring" the large blood vessels like an old boiler. and “choking the capillary arteries.” So he eats hardly any bread, his favorite food being oranges, bananas and meat.

Such enormous sums are being paid for houses and windows in London along the route of the royal procession on June 22 next, and so costly are the preparations made by the people of the metropolis for the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Queen's ascension to the throne that during the last three months her Majesty’s life has been insured to the tune of nearly S5,000,000 by shopkeepers, window brokers, house agents and speculators, who are anxious to protect themselves against loss in the possible event of the venerable sovereign's death before the date of the jubilee.

Py the last census it appears that the population of France is now 3S,228,909, an increase in five years of only 133,819, and this mainly through immigration. For several years past the death rate has exceeded the birth rate. These facts become still m«re significant when a comparison is made between France and her neighbors. In Germany the increase of population during the last five years has been 2,851,431, nearly 3,000,000, as against 134,000 in France. The contrast is still more striking when these figures are compared wdth those of the past. At the beginning of the century France outnumbered Prussia three to one. Today Prussia contains almost an equal population, and as for the whole of Germany, there are five Germans to every four Frenchmen.

CAREFULNESS ABOUT FOOD. Zt In Nothing to Ur Aft.'.amcd Of, MaintAina Tills Writer. It was not very kind of Prof. Max Muller to tell his little story of Tennyson’s rather rough criticism on the dinner Mrs. Max Muller had provided for him, says the London Spectator. Tennyson, like all very truthful men, like Dr. Johnson, for instance, sometimes said bearish things, but a host | owes as much reticence to a guest as the guest owes to his host. That, however, is the professor's affair; but there is something of general interest in the way in which the story is quoted, as if it were somehow to Tennyson's discredit to have cared about his food. Why should he not care, to a reasonable degree? And that he was not unreasonable in his care is the testimony of all who knew him. A man is not necessarily a gourmand, and still less a glutton, because he cares that what he eats should be properly cooked, should be appetizing and should, there! fore, be the food the eating of which burdens him least and least distracts his thoughts from higher things. There is no reason in the world why men, whether average men or men of genius, should despise the cooking of their food. They never show, or are required to show, the same contempt towa-d any other art, and on no other Is their mental calm more completely dependent. An ill-fitting coat is a worry, but not such a worry as dinners perpetually ill-dressed. To many men, and especially to men whose work is sedentary, or whose brains are fully taxed, food which is at once light and nourishing is an absolute necessity if they are to exert their highest powers; and food of that kind is obtainable only by care in selecting meats and good cooking when they are selected. A man should not think too much of his dinner, or devote too inueji time to preparation for it, or enjoy it too visibly when it has arrived, for all those are animal peculiarities; hut to remain content with bad food, when a little more thought or carefulness or criticism would procure it in a state fit to be eaten, is only what Scotchmen used to describe as " a wasting of the tnaircles.”

CHANCE FOR ANGLERS

GIANT FISH WAITING TO BE CAUGHT OFF CAPE ANN. Th« IIor»r Maukorel of Down Ernst the Sam© »» the Famous Tun* That California Tells Marvelous Tales About,

Only Illgeer.

(New York Letter) rasrjr—iaa ORD has come JV/AV// * rom t * le California il/A// coast l ^ at flsher- " / men at Santa Catalina Island have been having great sport recently in catching upon light tackle the great fish known to the Pacific anglers as the leaping tuna. The spprt is declared to be more exciting even than that furnished by the tarpon or any of the other big sea fish that anglers have been attacking the last few years. About twenty tunas have been captured on hand lines during the past season at Avalon, but the most remarkable capture was the one made at Santa Catalena by Col. C. P. Moorehouse of Pasadena, who hooked a 180-pound tuna on a light rod and line, and secured it after a struggle of more than three hours. During the fight with the great fish Col. Moorehouse’s boat' was towed ab»ut three mllo$. The leaping tuna of the Pacific is described as ranging in weight from 100 to 800 pounds, and from six to nine feet in length, and as having a habit of leaping from-4he sea ten or fifteen feet into the air. The 180-pound tuna which Col. Moorehouse caught was the only one taken on a rod. Those which were caught on hand lines ranged in weight from 90 to 250 pounds. The tunas have been about the Santa Cat-

r

their game. The great fish are to be found In plenty on the Cape Ann coast, off Provincetown, Gloucester, and other Massachusetts towns, and at many other parts of the Atlantic coast, clear up to the mouth of the St. Lawrence river, and they are to be found in the [ European waters all the way from the Mediterranean to the Lofforden Islands in latitude 69 degrees north. Fisherj men who go after the tuna on our coasts will have the advantage of seeking a bigger fish than the tuna hunter of any other part of the world, for it j is not uncommon to find specimens in the Cape Ann waters which range from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds in weight. The fish is a very familiar one to down east fishermen, but in this part of the 1 world it is called by a different name. The Cape Ann fishermen call it the horse mackerel. It is known as the tunny to the English-speaking people of Europe, and as the ton or tuna to the people who border the Mediterra- ! nean. Except its deadly enemy, the killer i whale, it is probably the most active fish that is to be found in the sea, and j New Yorkers should cherish no hope j of seeing a specimen of it in the aquaI rium, for it is altogether too much on the move to be kept for even a little while in captivity. But the idea of treating it os a game fish and seeking its capture with rod and reel seems never to have occurred to any one i until the Pacific fishermen went after it in that way. On the Atlantic coast it has been hunted and captured for many years i with the harpoon, Just as the swordfish is captured. In recent years It has been taken in nets of rope. The horse mackerel is known scientifically os Thynnus orcynus and It is a member of the mackerel family. It is a very j handsome member of that family, too, | being arrayed, like nearly all Its relations, in handsome shadings of metal-

TAXATION AND SUFFRAGE. The C’U'ie of u CoLnertlcut Woman In

1874.

At the legislative hearing given in Connecticut on woman suffrage Judge Hooker recalled the fact that for many years he and Ills friends had appealed to the legislature of Connecticut to grant suffrage to colored men and had met with "contemptuous refusal.” says the Boston Transcript. They then petitioned that colored people should not be taxed, since they were not represented. This was conceded; and from 1844 until 1871 the real and personal property of colored persons in Connecticut was exempted from taxation. Judge Hooker read a letter written in 1S74 by the late Amos A. Lawrence of Massachusetts to Abby Smith, a Connecticut woman who had allowed her property to be sold for taxes as a protest against taxation without representation. Mr. I-awrence wrote: “My Dear Madam: Your action will be highly beneficial in bringing the subject to public notice and in leading to the correction of a great injustice, j The taxation of the property of wo- ! men without allowing them any rep- i resentation, even in town affairs, is so \ unfair that it seems only necessary to 1 bring it to public view and mhke it odious and to bring about a change. Your case has its parallel in every township of New England. In the

After formal discussion the chancellor said: “I order on the undertaking here given by Mr. Bayard to place the log in a fit place, where persons concerned can have access thereto, and a proper certified copy being deposited at Fulham that the original be given up to Mr. Bayard for transmission to the President of the

Reports in regard to winter wheat are discouraging. The continuous rains, followed by high water in the streams, have flooded the low lands in many portions of southern Illinois, so that what wheat was not winter killed has been utterly ruined by water. Reports from nearly half of the counties in the state, Including almost all of the win-ter-wheat growing counties, are that two-thirds of the wheat seeded last fall ■—1,749,000 acres was winter killed or destroyed by floods, and the condition of the remaining third—589,000 acres— is so poor that under the most favorable conditions only one-third of an average crop may bo expected. The outlook is that little more than enough wheat for seed will be harvested in Illinois this seasou, and the people will have to depend on other states for * wheat for consumption, a condition that has occurred but once in the agricultural history of the state.

linn* Anderton I« the Only Survivor. Hans Anderson is an old soldier who claims to be the only surviving member of the crew of the monitor, when she bested the Merrimac. He has been talking a great deal about the "mismanagement” of the Monitor during ' that memorable fight. There are a ] dozen of the crew surviving, and An- ' derson's claim to distinction on that l account have been thoroughly riddled I by the eastern press. His claims of 1 mismanagement are scouted as absurd. It Is said Anderson is looking for an increase in pension.

One of the most picturesque old towns in Europe is Le Puy en Vilay, the capital of the French Department of Haute Loire. It is built in the form of an amphitheatre on the slopes of Mount Anis. Crowning the mount and overtopping the houses is a vertical rock with a tabular summit, called Rocher de Corneille, or "Corneille's Rock," and on this are the ruins of an ancient episcopal castle. Of still more remarkable appearance, though much less lofty. Is the great natural curiosity shown in the atcjmpanylng illustra-

tion. It is known as the Rocher de St. Michel, or St. Michael's Rock. This is an isolated conical rock of basaltic tufa, rising abruptly from the margin of the River Borne to a height of two hundred and sixty-five feet, with a circumference at its base of 500 feet, and at its top of from forty-five to fifty feet. The sides of this remarkable rock are almost perpendicular; but a winding stair cut into the stone conducts to the summit, which is surmounted by a little Romanesque chapel of the tenth century.

Official Corruption In China.

A striking picture of the offleial corruption that prevails in China is afforded by some diplomatic reports submitted by the English foreign office to 1 the houses of parliament at Westminster. Among other things it is shown that so great is the stealing that, were . the imperial government to abolish the j rice tribute from the provinces of King- ( su and Che-kiang alone, it would effect an economy of more than $2,000,000, which is the sum that its collection now costs over and above the revenue

that it yields.

AVERAGE SIZED HORSE MACKEREL. fornia coast to try their luck with them. The men who have fished for the tunas declare that they have more vim and go In them than a tarpon of double their weight, and that they have broken more rods and run away with more lines than any other fish on the Pacific coast If the eastern sportsmen are anxious to have a go at tuna fishing there does not seem to be any reason why they should go to California to search for

of some more brilliant tints. It makes its appearance in June and stays until October. When the fish arrive they are usually very thin, but they are voracious feeders, and by the middle of the season they are heavy with fat. They feed upon every kind of smaller fish, and the pound fishermen for many years looked upon them as simply an almost worthless nuisance, since they would go through and through the nets in chasing their prey. They were not so bad as the big sharks, however, in their effect upon the nets, for they would not get tangled up in them, but instead made round holes often as big as the mouth of a bushel basket. During those years the fishermen looked upon the horse mackerel as practically unfit for food and good only for oil. When the horse mackerel were fat the fishermen would attack them with the harpoon and kill them for the oil which they yielded. The oil came chiefly from the head and belly, and a good-sized fish would yield twenty gallons of it. In those days the carcasses were east away or sometimes used for i chicken food.

Workmen Engi*!;''** In Deepening; It Find Ring;©. There is a great fusillade now all along the river front of the city. Never since the war of 1812, when a battery on this side of the Niagara swapped courtesies with a British battery on the other side, has there been such a bombardment, says a Buffalo correspondent of the New York Press. But the canal drillers are not so courteous as the hostile Britishers were. In those times, whenever the battery across the river was preparing for a “shoot day,” a notice was sent across to the little village of Black Rock, and the people either made a visit to their friends out of town or took to the cellar. Now the roar of powder blasts is almost continuous, nights and Sundays included. Last Sunday being fine, there was a great rush to the canal side to see the rock that had lain in the canal bottom since the formation of the strata in the dim past sail up into the air and come down in fragments. Sometimes the pieces dropped uncomfortably close to the spectators, coming down with a vicious hiss and a heavy crash, but no one was injured. The opening of the canal is bringing to the surface not a little local history and some treasure, and workmen will toil in the mud and water for $1 or less in wages in the hope of hauling a gold watch out of a sholvelful of slime, no matter if the sewage gases have ruined it for even old metal. Some really good finds, however, are recorded. Sometimes it is a silver dollar or other coin that is still in good condition, sometimes a gold ring. A few days ago a workman named Henry Johnson found a ring valued at $4 and a few moments later he shoveled up another for which a Jeweler offered him $7. A companion of Johnson's, working in the same gang, found a lot of silver knives and forks, and in the list, too, are the ghastly finds, of which the less said the better. More than one infant form has been unearthed in the canal bottom, and there are other evidences that the canal does not traverse the stamping grounds of the good of this world.

RAM'S HORNS.

He is littlest, who belittles others. Work is more than mere activity. No man drinks to please his wife. Imaginary eminence is actual humiliation. Intelligence is not gained by a mere act of will. Nothing will upbraid you like unused faculties. Better a servant from love than a ruler from lust. Happiness is lost by being intemperate in its pursuit. Intelligence is largely in knowing what we do not know. Better a little understanding than much useless knowledge. Reflection is a key that unlocks the treasures of the memory. Selfishness is often so refined that it is deeply wounded at the least remonstrance. No matter in what part of the world he lives the man who loves Christ, hates sin. Act without thought, and you are a fool; think without act, and you are a visionary. Every one may be a eo-worker with Christ, who is willing to begin by doing small things. Courtesy and etiquette are flowers; the one has its roots in the heart; the other, in the intellect.

MODERN MARTHAS. The girl who worries over her lessons. The one who is jealous of her companions. The girl who is never suited with her clothes. * The girl who always complains of the weather. The girl who whines about the failure of others. The girl who paints a Madonna, but lives a shrew. The girl who thinks more of clothes than of culture. The young iady who works much and prays little. The one who adorns her person, but neglects her spirit. The girl who reads her cook book more than her blble. The one who has a free tongue on all subjects but salvation. The one who makes more of form than of spirit in work and worship. The young lady who has time for many things but her Master s work. The girl who can bring a symphony out of a piano, but whose life is a poor ditty.

PLANTATION ORGANIZATION. Maater* and Slav*** Were Comfortable and Happy. From the Industrial standpoint the old plantation organization was a very perfect one, says the Southern States. Great executive ability was required to manage it and the lordly owner of these vast estates was far from the idle, sport-loving or politics-talking spendthrift that he is commonly supposed to have been. If he kept his property together and took care of all his dependents he was a busy, hardworked man. Having almost perfect control of his labor, the southern planter was able to utilize every worker to good advantage and as a rule, therefore, the slaves, as well as the masters, lived in a state of reasonable comfort and in as great happiness as is commonly vouchsafed to man. The south was prodigiously prosperous between 1850 and 1860 and every department of its agriculture was developed at a stupendous rate whem the war came and overthrew the system. The model planter of those days produced at home everything that was nceiled to feed and clothe his slaves, and, to a great extent, also, his own family. Except In a few sections of the south, where the lands were especially adapted to rice, cotton or sugar, and yielded such great profits that it paid the planter to devote all of his labor to their production alone, the wheat, corn and meat to feed the people, and, to a large extent, the cotton, wool and leather to clothe them, were produced and manufactured upon the plantations. Almost every large farm had its grist mill and many their flouring mills. Nearly every large estate had its tannery and shoe factory, its blacksmith, wagon and implement shops and its spinning and weaving factories also. The older plantations in the up-coun-try were filled with these and other kinds of industries, nearly all of which have since disappeared. The old planter and his dependents lived thus to a large extent upon the products of his estate, which were manufactured, in a somewhat crude way, perhaps, upon the estate. Only the iron and steel, the finer groceries, a few medicines and some of the richer cloths for the use of the owner’s family were purchased in the cities. Almost everything else was made upon the farm or purchased from the small factories belonging to the country.

TRIUMPH FOR SCIENCE. Tlie Case of u Patient Whose Hack W’as Broken. A man walked out of the Cincinnati city hospital restored to perfect health whose life not a month before was despaired of, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The individual to whom modern science gave a new lease upon existence was Edward Dorsey, a bricklayer, who fell from a scaffold a distance of thirty-five feet. When picked up the man was unconscious and on his arrival at the hospital it was discovered that he had sustained a fracture of the spinous process of the lower dorsal vertebrae, or, in other words, that his spinal cord was fractured about the middle of his back. His advanced age, Dorsey being 44 years old, militated against him and his chances for recovery were exceedingly slight. It was decided, however, to make an effort to save his life, and for that purpose he was incased in a plaster of Paris jacket. The process is exceedinly unique and is practically a new method for this kind of fractures. It requires no particular skill, as the patient is placed in a linen hammock and stripped perfectly nude. A fine silk jacket, much on the style of an undershirt, is drawn over his body. After this a mixture of water and plasteof paris is spread over the torso to the thickness of several inches. The patient is then allowed to remain in the hammock until the easing has become solidified, when the ropes of the hammock are cut and he is lowered to a cot on wheels, on which he is returned to the ward. In this plaster shirt he is allowed to remain for a week or more, when the easing is chipped away. Dorsey was thus rigidly imprisoned for nearly ten days and left the hospital a well man.

LUNCH FOR BUSINESS GIRLS. The Food Will Have Greater “ReliMh" If Daintily Arranged. "The putting up the cold lunch is no easy matter, as many mothers realize when they find the question before them.” writes Phebe IVestcott Humphreys in the Ladies' Home Journal. “The wise mother, however, is ever on the alert, and many savory compounds, in the way of potted meats, etc., are prepared, in connection with the home cookery, that are quickly sliced and invitingly arranged in the lunch-bas-ket, and help to form a plentiful, nourishing lunch. The first consideration in preparing these lunches should be healthfulness, yet daintiness is of equal importance. It is an easy matter to make the home luncheon attractive even when served cold: the white table linen and attractive table appointments seem to impart a certain 'relish' to the food. One of the first requisites for a dainty lunch should be a lunch box or basket that can be readily scalded and kept sweet and clean, and waxed paper and Japanese napkins, or a quantity of linen napkins, to separate the articles of food. Waxed paper is especially important, as pickles, sandwiches cake, or anything that Is wrapped in it, may be kept fresh without destroying the flavor of the other. A corner in the dresser drawer well stocked with these papers, with the doilies, etc., and the small glasses, with tight-fitting lids, should be a part of the regular kitchen furnishing in every home where cold lunches are to be put ua each day.”

Tha Ideal Line.

The members of the BaptUt Young People'* Union who contemplate attending a national meeting of that body in July, should bear in mind that theae is no better equipped line from the East, North or Northwest, than the popular Big Four Koute, via Cincinnati or Louisville. All through passenger trains on this line are vestibuled, equipped with Buffet Sleepers, with Hotel Dining Cars on day trains. At Cincinnati, direct connection is made in the same depot with the Queen & Crescent Koute, the Short Line to Chattanooga, via the famous High Bridge. At Louisville, with the Southern Railway and the Louisville & Nashville, via Mammoth Cave and Nashville, allowing stop-over at both these points.

A Cork Cathedral. There is at Redear, a small village in England, a wonderful cork model of Lincoln Cathedral. The model contains about one million old corks. It was made by a plowman, who worked at it, off and on, for ten years and seven months. The model is said to be a perfect miniature of the great cathedral, Inside and out.
