•eesoay represents the feccgslsgef mamj agreeable things, the rigid adherence to a standard of Wring which regards the todnlgesco el personal tastes as wastofal luxury, er as the ebligation to spend ae more than a fixed weeklr sum for the household expenses. To other* it means the buying of inferior articles, because they are sheep, e mistake that frequently leads to waste end less, greater than can be covered by the trill* saved in the purchase. The word “economy" is a bugbear to many a young housekeeper. "Why should 1 be economical? I have plenty of money. There to no need for me to be scraping and pinching." True economy, however, does not consist to merely saving money. It is

_ sometimes shown in spending rather than

of the eo|ipaay would prompt in saving. In matters of health, education rebate tickets and allow de> nnd recreation parsimony is no economy.

Neither does it forbid the indulgence of personal tastes, or even vanities, provided the indulgenee dees not overstep the limits

of the income.

Economy to simply the avoidance of all waste, and economical housekeeping means the endeavor to obtain for the whole household the utmost amount of health, comfort and enjoyment of life. In this sense, It is surely the duty of every mistress of a household, from the bijrhest to the lowest, to be economical. Much has been written

To take only the item of food—how much is often wasted in the preparation of a single dish, which forms but a part of one of the courses of a dinner. The plea that it ean be well afforded is no justification for waste. The present style of living has many advantages; it has superseded the coarse profusion of former times, and it has introduced a more delicate and refined mode of cookery, but it ba* also banished manv nutritious substances from the family dietary, and has fostered a craving forluaury which

In all surev each class of society has striven to imitate tbs habits of the one above it; and earfi household is unconsciously a pattern from which another tries to mold its life. Efforts are being made to elevate the mental, physic^ aud moral standard of the lower ciaosei, but there is one lever more powerful, if rightly used, than any other, and that is fashion. If economy instead of extravagance were the fashion, the lesson taught by the rioh would be quickly learned by the poor, mid thus a great addition to the national prosperity would be secured.

To Prepare Hash on Toast—Take small bits of cold meat, one pint of hot water, thicken with two tableapoonfuls of flour, a good-sised piece of butter, pinch of salt. Turn over toasted bread and serve imme-

diately.

Orange Frosting—Grate the yellow rind from two or three orauges and squees* over it‘a tobleanoonful or two of the juice. Let it stand for an hour, then strain through a fine cloth. Two tablespoonfulv of this liquid mixed with about one cupful of silted powdered sugar to tuffioient for a large loaf

ot cake.

Orange Jxiyer Cuke—Add to part of the frosting the fine-cut pulp of an orange, from wbich all seeds and skin have been removed. Put thia between the lever* and the frosting on top, and on the frosting place whole sections of the fruit; or use a thick cream filling, strongly flavored with

the juice.

Turkey Soup—With the remains of a kaked turkey from which most of the meat has been cut oft it is easy to make a very appetising soup. Break np the carcase, and put it with whatever stuffing, biu of meat aud skin may be left in enough water to cover. Cook slowly for two hours. Let the soup eat cold, then skim and strain. Heat a pint of milk in a saucepan and tfticken ft with two tablespoonfuls of floor and one of butter. Put the soup over the fire again; when hot add the milk. Lat the whole boil up and then remove it from

It seems that we msystiil hsve phenomenal successes in literature and in journal ism. It is announced that Mr. Richard Harding Davis to at the beginning of next month to be associated with Mr. George William Curtis in the editorship of Harper's Weekly. Mr. Dsvis to only twenty-six years of age. He is ths son of the wellknown journalist. Mr. L. Clarke Davis, of Pbilsdelpnto, and of Mrs. Bebeocs Harding Dsvis, whose brilliant work in fiction is known in every oaltivated American home. Young as be to, Mr. R. H. Davis has already won h» spars both as a journalist and as a story-writer. He was a student at the Lehigh University and at Johns Hopkins, and was afteiward for three years associated with Philadelphia journalism. On his return in from Europe, where he had been a correspondent for the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, be was engaged as a special writer for the New York Evening Sun, for which paper he wrote the original and picturesque scries of "Van Bibber Stones." Hi* flrstahort etcry, growing out of his passion for football, was published in 8t. Nicholas in lSt& His more recent tales, “Gallagher/' “A Walk up the Avenue," “The Cvnical Miss Catherwaight" and “My Disreputable Friend, Mr. fteageu,” have given him a popularity so sadden as to be comparable only with that recently at-

tained by Mr. l&udyard Kipling.

Miss Olive Schreiner’s volume of “Dreams,” in which Fisher Unwin has collected some of her allegories, to dated from Matjeefontein, Cape Colony. Miss Schreiner’s borne to in one of the beautiful suburbs of Capetown. But Matjesfontein is a strange little oasis in the desert karoo, through which the railway runs from the cape to Kimberley. Pitched in the heart of that wilderness, it consists of farm, a hotel, a station, a mill, a warehouse and a few hats. But it boosts a few hundred acres which nave been made to smile and blosaom a* the rose (more or lent) by the energy and skill of one young Scotchman. His name to Logan aud he bus made Matjesfontein the quotable example of what can be doue in the way of coaxing a harvest from the most sterile region of Cape Colony. The miracle which certain thrif tv Germans have worked with their little kitchen-garden patches in waste land about Cape Town, Mr. Logan has worked in the karoo with a farm the size of an English eountv. It is a desolate prospect which Miss Schreiner has to look on from the south “African farm"at Matjesfontein, the flat, drab wastes of sand stretching far awav, only relieved by low sierras of jagged rock or ragged stone heaps. But the clear, dry south African wind sweeps over it, with healing in its wings better than twenty Dr. Kochs for those who need it, and th* landscape has moods of wild, weird beauty when the garish mid-day glare is exchanged for faint dawn or twilight or the pure southern night. Miss Schreiner’s "Story of an African Farm" created a sensation which has not yet died out, and it remains to be seen whether she has justified her promise by

her new book of allegories.

He •ays: “I procured my first autograph when a boy. it was written, in reply to a dunning letter, to the attorney in whose office I was employed; and ita penman was Ingraham, the novelist,who to now remembered— and forgotten—as the author of ‘The Prince of the Hout* of David;” and whose tastes in wearing apparel, at the time of which I am writing, exceeded the scanty limits of his purse. He was in debt to his tailor.” Th* holiday edition of the Minneapolis Northwestern Miller to one of the handsomest special numbers we have received. It to printed on the verv best quality of paper and for typographical neatnesa and clearness has not been excelled. The number contains many illustrations of the great firms all over the world who are engaged in the flour trade, which were made from photographs taken especially for thto edition, and they are not surpassed by the illustrations of the most pretentious magazines. The edition to a combination of a newspaper, trade journal and magazhe and is a credit not only to the trade it particularly represents, but to t^e whole north-

When Dan Beard had been engaged to design the illustrations for Mark Twain’s last book, “A Yankee in King Arthur’a Court,” he wrote to Mr. Clemens, asking what instructions he wished to give. Mr. Clemens a few days later ehaihb'ed into Mr. Beard’s studio. “Mr. Beard/ (ob, if the types could only reproduce that drawl of his). “Mr. Beard,” he said, “if somebody should come to me and say, ‘Clemens, I want you to write a story for me/ I'd say, ‘AHright, I’ll write a story for you.’ But if somebodv should come to me ajd say, ’Clemens, here’s a story I want you io write forme/ and then should begin to tell me the story. Pd say, ’Bold,on, you blamed fool, you don’t want to hire me; you want to hire a typewriter.’ ” This, Mr. *Bear 1 says, was the extant of instructions given by Mr. Clemens.—[An&losian Magazine.

A Buried Brtto-Uoman Town Laid Bara

After 1,000 lean.

A British Pompeii has just been discovered near Reading in Berkshire on the great Strathfeld.ay estate of the duke of Wellington, says a London dispatch of the Dunlop cable company. It to a true city, not a mere camp, and when tally excavated will throw light upon the domestic life of our remote ancestors of more than one thousand years ago. The city now being laid bare is the Brito-Roman Siichester. The whole area has been free from all building operations ever since the Roman occupation of-Britein; in fact, the soil to virgin, having been pasture land for centuries. The excavation committee has already succeeded in revealing to nineteenth century eyes life in a British city that had a long 'existence in a day of which history is almost silent The task of excavation is a tremendous one, but the work to being prosecuted as funds

Under such circumstances the foot feels Very much as though the wearer bad by mistake put the left foot into the shoe intended for the right one. Verv many are of tbe opinion that if the shoe fits snugly across the instep, and has plenty of room at the toes, it to a good-fit-ting shoe. Were the foot at all times resting flat on the ground, then no particular harm might come of wearing such a shoe; but everybody, at some time or other, does more or loss walking up or down hill, and, furthermore, everybody to addicted to the wearing of heels of high or low degree. Figure 2 clearly shows the position of the foot when in a shoe having high heels. Even though we do not wear high heels, the foot assumes exactly the same position whenever we walk down hill, and therefore the illustration serves our purpose in either

instrauce.

A shoe that is tight across the instep, but loose at the toes, is injurious to the foot in proportion to the Light of the heel and amount of down-hiil walking the wearer may do. The tendency of the foot in such a shoe is to work to the front, but it is held in place by the tight instep, and being loose at the' toe, receives no support from that point, consequently the whole strain comes upon the ligaments forming the arch of the foot Now, the efficiency of the arch depends upon the tensity of its ligaments. If. then, any unnatural aud flattening pressure be constantly brought to bear on the arch, the binding ligaments get slackened; the result, a broken-down arch, and the once beautiful work of nature becomes an unsightly thing.

Dr. Holcombe’s book is an interesting on* te those who like a good story, and it will pleas* them who like a purpose and a development of idea ia fiction. The field ef fiction to a broad oao, and as this to an age of science, it is well to give science a place alone with political economy, which has of late had its va ted forms dressed out in the garb of ron an -e. We have a remote suspicion tha, ut. Holcombe to a better and safer teller of a tale than writer on science; at least, science ia the light character it mast assume ia a story. Bat hto story to a clear and an engaging one, and will be road by all who begin it. It to full of surprises, and has a plot of the kind that th* French school of novelists delight in. There are some good picture* of New Orleans life, and it to with relief that the author tells hto reader that he will soak* tee characters talk Engitoh, letting pass an opportunity to give the Creole dialect in the intricate form* that Mr. Cable reveled in.

The city was laid out

There are very fair specimens of pottery, from coarse cel tic ware to deli-cately-molded vessels, embellished with artistie designs of he man and animal figores and symbolic devices. There are two sets of human bones, skeletons of immature infan U or dwarfs, as also needles and other articles of honsehold use. Among these it is curious to note s key ring and a safety pin. with other toilet and table requisites, much resembling those in present use.

Boiler Inspection*.

To the Editor ot Th* Indianapolis News: I saw an item in last night’s News that

there are several labor organizations that Lave petitioned ths Legislature to hare a bill passed to appoint a State Boiler Inspector, and, also, sayine that there are fifteen thousand steam boilers in use in this State, and that the proposed taw will bring a net revenne to somebody of f&i.OOO a year —this, of course, means to th* parties that are fortunate enough to get th* job ae inspector. 1 «ee no need of the passage of the above bill, unless it is to giv# agood fat job to some one at the expense of the parties who use steam Boilers. Admitting that there ar* the above number of boilers in use in the' State, we rarely hear of an explosion, and there would be none tbe

fewer explosions if an inspector pointed. Any on* that has as,

about bis boiler can always get it insured in s reliable company for that purpose. If such a power wa* given to a loan It would b« fearfully abused. A notie* would be sent, ns it is often den* in New York city, where such a law exists, to some large manufacturing plant by tbe inspector that he will be at their place on snch a day to inspect their boilers, and to have them eooied off for that purpose, knowing fall well that it would be impossible for them to do so without sustaining a great loss. * But for a slight consideration from th* manufacturer he would put tbe same off until tbe following Sunday. The above taw would put th* manufacturer at the mercy of the boiler insnector; be or bis minions could come around on an inspection tour as often as they saw fit, whenever their fnnds got low. The nni venal cause of boiler explosions te carelessness, as tbe writer well recollects.

The explosion of a new portable boiler, of tbe decomposed product* several veers ago, at our Slaw fair, whereby tion, while the general streoj several persons were killed, will be re- ties! Is bring maintained bp called. Thai was an act of carelessness in erful tonias and tbe meat allowing the crown sheet to become red- ents. While thus the lymph mny hot and having no water ever it. What j one direction by harrying the

good woald the inspection of that boiler

was sp-

aay doubt

any othor substance containing an active albuminoid anbatanoa capable of producing systemic poisoning with local manifestations. Theorising on this basis, it would 1 legitimate to assume that say orj poison, similar to that which tbe lj contains, would attaok most strongh weakened body, such as w* find ia tt •reulous patients. The parts invaded a degenerative disease, and necessar most teehing in vitality, would ba

the first to be affected. As • consequence, |

strong reactions might easily occur in th* shape of Increased local congestions ar T filtrations, with the usual attendant nomena of an augmented general ' disturbance. From such a stand may not be difficult to understand 1 tuberculous tissue as such might be killed independently of nay elective action of the

lymph.

At best, we mnst admit that th# simple destruction of the diseased tissue, even if such can always be assured, is bai n part of a very complex process of cure for tuberculous disease. Something mere te reqoired than mere Injections and resulting

reactions.

From what we know of th# cans# «f tuberculosis we can safely venture to say that no core can be guaranteed until wa can
