THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH U; 1S94-T WELTE PAGES; 1

There is a cloak of sentiment that is made to cover ugly facta in the objection, frequently made by husbands, to arrangements whereby a wife may have her own pars". I have heml more than one husband say: "'I dn't believe in an allowance; I like my wife to come to me when she wants money. What is mine la hers! We are one!" That sounds very sweet and pretty. But I am much inclined to believe the sentiment would lose its flavor if an arrangement should tie enteret! into whereby all moneys were transferred and the husband became the petitioner, particularly if through holdin? the finances the wife should evolve a consciousness of better judgment in expenditure and always inquired into the why and wherefore of masculine requirements. Power unrestricted invites tyranny and develops egrotlsm. Sentiment Is an insufficient barrier to the?e evils. The absolute bondage, possible through financial dependence. a a factor in every phase of life. Character requires a measure of freedom in expression, or a warped and stunted human growth is the result. Deception follows close on the humiliation of dependence. Thu3 the rjuestiun of a purse becomes a moral issue. It is not the woman personality alone that is concerned in the case of the homemaker and bearer of children. One may make terms with conditions by denying themselves everything, but even that cannot stille the feeling of indignation over injustice in the heart, and family needs apical to the mother heart with a force that incites to rebellion. Again, the soul denied the privilege of pelf-sucrinVo. that the result may go to express in helpfulness the master's work, is enslaved. The intense annoyance suff -rd in silence by many a mother through the humiliation of this dependence has brought children into the world branded with a greed resulting in criminal tendencies. Medical records trace kleptomania to sin h oiigm in many cases. The unity of the interests in the makers of h'nv is better conserved if they reason together from an equal Htandpoint. each having their share of that nocoj?sity of money, for the administration. Thre is no greater educator nnd Incentive to economy than a definite limit within which they must make their calculation, and upon which they cvm depend. A certain pn portion of thfamily income should be pl.i-.d in the hands of the wife. After calculation of expenses are alloweJ. the remainder should be equally divided, as arc the profit of equal pariners in any husint-sa enterprise, j predi-t at the expiration of a. jerioJ of five years th wife would, in nine cases out of fen. have more in vested as a capital for a rainy day than ' the head of the house. Women will cheerfully economize jf ihey can see results. A little bankbook, showing a Ffeady increase in accumulation. Wi!l give every dollar a double importance and make economy enjoyable. Women are not ashamed of small savings. A man nls wait for ?10) to start a snvinars ao-nant; a woman is glad to" . posit $1". Oi this straightforward arrangement there Is safeguard against the most dangerous element in domestic life, often lending t serious discord. Willi a fluttering heart, a sense of self aU-iMiie;it, a woman aks for a little money. The man who clings to the ientiment f "oneness"' in argument is often forgetful of its vital truth, if the request eom.es at an inopportune momept. a.r.d denies the request, without sufficient explanation of the reasons compelling the refusal. The wife- in ignorance of fa.j.s attributes the restriction that is so bitter because she had to petition to a lar k of confidence- or generosity, and unity is broken. Hani and bitter thoughts iill her heart, where only tweet patience and loving helpfulness would reign if, as equal, she understood liie situation.

Woinnn na Architect. "It is a surprise to me," said a lady with whom I .vas talking, "that women have not taken up architecture as a profession to a fuller extent, for there i3 no business for whic h woman is more peculiarly fitted. Men have little practical knowledge of the value of space in a house, or of the advantages of closets, or the disagreeable incidents which occur in an ill arranged mansion. The home is especially the woman's sphere, and houses designed by women for women should theoretically, and would practically, I think, prove that many and great improvements could be made on the majority of those claptrap affairs which are now leing put up. "Of course, women could not do the supervising and practical construction, but it would be a comparatively easy thing for a female architect to find a rallable builder to take all that part of the work off her shoulders, or she could hire a trained manager who could make her estimates and attend to the strictly business part of the office. Not only is a woman's knowledge of the needs of a home more practical, but the artistic is also more fully developed in her than it is in man. She can estimate an effect more quickly, and as a rule she has a great deal more knowledge of the value of colors and the Influence of lines in the production of the desired effect. 'I believe that before many years we will see a great many houses which are the conception of the feminine brain, and I am willing to predict for my sex that the houses thus designed will be an improvement on those which are now produced from masculine conceptions." X. Y. Mail ami Express. The Cuban t.lrl. A Cuban girl's life is very restricted, and she is never allowed to go out alone nor receive callers of the other sex except in the presence of her chaferon or pome member of her family. If during her childhood she attends a day school, a maid or somn family servant takes hr there every day, and she canrmt go us short a distance as across the street unaccompanied. In some instances Spanish customs ar absifr-d an Incongruous. Every well fitted establishment in Cuba Is provided with a concierge to guard the entrance anil admit callers. This man. usually an ignorant peasant, sometimes escorts the young ladies of the family he is serving, and that is considered perfectly proper, whereas it would not be proper for them to go out attended by a gentleman, even if he were old enough to be their father, and an old friend of the family as well. Of late years, however, the frequent intercourse between Cuba and the Unite.! States has somewhat modified the customs. For instance, two ladies can now go out'alone in Havana in the daytime, which would have been considered an unheard of and most shocking proceeding a few years ago. The social pastimes a girl enjoys in Cuba consist of balls, parties, concerts, receptions, the theater and opera and picni s for Cubans have adopted this American diversion, although in a modified form, to suit the requirements of Cuban etiquette. North American rjevicw. Ilotv Mir 1.1 rm. An Illustration of th abject devotion of some women in New York to society was related by h. fashionable physician to a reporter. He had been called regularly every day to treat a woman who was very -opular socially for general debility and ohaustion.. Sh insisted upon dancing until ?. or 4 o'clock every morning, and her days were a perpetual round of receptions, lunches and teas. She would not take time for sufficient sleep and thought that the doctor could manage to pull her through the season by tonics of various "kinds. She insisted upon continuing her social rounds, so he hit upon a plan for reorganizing her day for her. and this she now carries out to the letter. Her day legins at . o'clock in the afternoon instead of 10 in the morning. Her rooms are darkened, and nothing is allowed to disturb her rest until .1 o'clock. Then she takes a tepid bath and is put through a course of massaee by a Swedish woman. She is rubbed vigorously and her Mr! forced into circulation. Then she takes a cup of chocolate, dresses for the afternoon, and at 4 o'clock steps into her carriage to make her necessary tails. An hour before dinner she lies down again in a darkened room, and after dinner she goes at her own pace until 3 or 4 the next morning. The only stipulation the dxrtor made was that leforo going to bed she should drink at least a pint of milk and eat gome biscuits. X. Y. Sun. The It on in Tvitli Mn ii y floor. The room with many doors is often a sore vexation to the woman who is striving to evolve a pleasing interior. What can you do with such a room? asks some one in despair. In the first place see how many of the doors tan be conveniently dispensed with in your coming ami going: If any, make '.he door an ornamental panel, on which pictures or a bracket with a good piece of bric-a-brac, or a set of shelves may be hung. If there is sufficient bight between the top of the door and the ceiling, put a shelf for showy ornaments that have good color over the door, or a long narrow mirror or flower picture. Some of the studies that come with the art magazines are used to great advantage in this place. A different effect may be had by placing a tall bookcase or buffet or a sofa against the door, and often this Is improved by first covering the dKr with some harmonious hanging used in folds, or so plain ami straight that it looks only like a panel. Other doors that it is necessary to use may be draped with some pretty curtain, hanging in folds at one side, or carried across the top of the doorway. Have such portieres full enough to han in graceful folds, but not full enough to give a heavy look to your rooms. X. Y. Post. A linblm ItlRlita Club. Some day tLhe babies of this progressive country are going to organize and demand their rights. Then the suffrage organizations will drop into the background. The first plank in the babies rights platform will be the inalienable right of every American Infant to bestow his caresses where he pleayes and nowhere else. The whole constitution and by-laws of the organization will be a loud, far-reaching protest against the indiscriminate fondling to which babies have so far been made to submit. Women of all ages, sizes snd habits feel at perfect liberty to kiss the little face and hands,. to cuddle-the little body, to squeeze the little feet, with a force and vigor which they would find very uncomfortable if bestowed uion them. Then the fond mothers mar

vel that tho baby seems so languid. They know how debilitating' an effect foo much handling has upon a kitten, but ' it never occurs to them that the treatment they and their feminin friends give the baby is enough almost to kil it. Undoubtedly the babies think this worl-i a very rough and far from refined place when first they enter it. And they only need h strong, active leader to organize the babies' protectl 'e uniDn.

A Woman's $mlle. He cannot be an unhappy mat v who has the love and smile of woman t accompany him in evei y department of life. The world may look dark and cheerless without, enemies may gather in his path, but when he returns to the fireside and feels the tender love of woman he forgets his cares and troubles and is a comparatively happy man. IPis but half prepared for the journey of life who does not take with him that friend who will forsake him in no emergency, who will divide his sorrows, increase his joys and throw sunshine amid the darkest scenes. Washington Star. linm and KkK". A good cook says that ham may really be better choked to serve with eggs if it is fried than when traditionally broiled. And she justifies her heresy by these directions: Put a slice of ham in a hot skillet, sear thoroughly on one side, then turn and sear on the other. After this, let it cook naturally until fairly tender. Then pour over it perhaps half a. teacup of boiling water, enough to moisten it thoroughly, with a little to spare. Cover the skillet and set on the back of the range for fifteen or twenty minutes. Ham cooked in this, way is deliciously tender and juicy. A Revolving: Sideboard. The clients of a certain architect requested him to design for the house he planned for them a revolving sideboard, to be circular or oval in shape, with a double front, one front in the diningroom and the other in the butler's pantry. By this arrangement it is supposed that dinners can be served with greater convenience and rapidty. On one side the waiter may arrange his dishes in the sideloard after each course, while the butler, who is on the pantry side, puts the food for the nett course in place, all ready to serve. Huilder.

Coming down town in a New York elevated train yesterday morning I overheard two gentlemen commiserating tbe sa-J fate of one of their friends who had married in early life. One t,f them was plainly the kind of man who stays single in order that he may spend all his money on himself, which is a good thing Tor posterity. "John would marry." said lie, "and 'um: look at hint. His children are growing and have to have music lessons and all that, and it keeps his pose right down. Hut now he's in it." "Yes." said the other, "with an extravagant wife, too. With some women a month is as good as $lr0 is to some of the rest." An extravagant wife! Let us see. The two men belonged to the class of average well-dressed city men who smoke and drink moderately, as they call it; not drunkards or slaves to tobacco by any means, but . j smoke, say. four cigars a day, take think of whisky lcforo each inal a: j. perhaps four glasses of beer in the evening. On Sunday the indulgence is a little extra, of course. 1 am informed by gent lernen who have been kind enough to " 'fess" to me that H a day the year round is a fair average for the alcohol and tobacco consumed by the ordinary man. And yet these very men talk, of extravagant wives! A dollar a day would clothe out and out annually a family f children. I wonder men ran look u woman in the face and preach to her about extravagance. The native Maoris of Xew Zealand were enfranchised in 172. several years later than the negroes of the United States. The Maoris still vote in New Zealand and the negroes still vote in some iarts of the United States. This year New Zealand has extended the right of suffrage till it now includes women, so that New Zealand women, white and Maori, can vote and hold otlice as freely as a man can. Hut the women of the United States, except in AVyoming, cannot vote yet. During the past summer some of the women's clubs in the large cities inaugurated the delightful fashion of buying or hiring a. house in the country or by the seashore, where the members could go and take their ease away from the discomfort and mixed company of a great hotel, one of the clubs that thus had its own slopping and resting place was the New Hven ladies' cycle club. Their country club house was within reach of New Haven by bicycle, and the members spun out upon their wheels to their cottage and back again as they pleased. This is a charming Idea and ought to be followed up extensively enothT summer and hereafter. Though Miss HI la. Knowles just missed by n few votes being elected attorneygeneral of Montana, she was afterward appointed assistant attorney-general, which is quite satisfactory. This brave, bright oung woman has lately been in Washington to confer with the secretary of the interior and the United Slates attorney-general in reference to Montana school lands. It is to be hoped that the sweet potato flour which is made by means of u St. Iyitiis woman's invention will soon be on the market. Doctors are discovering just now that wheat and corn bread and all cereals are very bad for the human stomach. They .stuff us up with starch and mineral salts and make our muscles grow old and stiff, yo the experts say. Likewise yeast fermentation is very harmful, we are told. If sweet potato bread will do any better by us, then we ought to have it. Mrs. Josephine Itutler, in an interviewprinted in the English paper called The Young Woman, gives this as her word to glils; "The one thing I feel is their lack of dignity. The sense of their own worth should be impressed upon girls in all ranks of life. They are too cheap. They are -made cheap, and they allow themselves to become cheap. They ought to remember that they are queens born, and that they must comport themselves us such." I have lately seen in some paper the statement that the great raisin industry of California was founded by a woman, Miss M. F. Austin, a teacher who had lost her health in her profession. She built the first drier for the raisin grapes and invented the style of packing which made the California raisin attractive to buyers. This is all true, but not all the truth, which Is sad enough in this case. Miss Austin had not capital enough to extend her own vineyards and purchase the appliances necessary to complete her nuccess. At the same time her health, always delicate, broke down again. Miss Austin died March, 1889, and died not at all wealthy. Others reaped where she had sown, and sown so bravely. The raisin grap growers of California ought to build a monument to her memory.

THE COURAGEOUS WOMAN.

MR?. FRAK LE,!B SHOWS HOW IT SPniMiS FROM LOVE. The Dloodhound and (he Kitten Hott (he Yonng Woman Encourage the Vonni; Man Who Want to Propose She Kare the World and Dcfle It A Dreeiy Uaj. (Copyright, 1351, by -American Tress Association.) It is the accepted idea of the world that courage is a masculine attribute almost exclusively, and that all women are timid creatures, needing all sorts of protection and support, shelter and encouragement from man, who, according to St. Taul, "is the head of woman." Perhaps he is, but I must say he does not always keep ahead. Xow, my own theory is that this idea, set up in the dark ages, when woman was either a f-lave or a servant to man, has, like many other respectable ideas, become outgrown and antiquated. The last fifty years have developed the nature and capacities of woman with a good deal of the Instantaneous transformation seen in a pantomine when the clumsy hoyden suddenly develops into the fairy queen, all pink gauze, spangles and diamond-tipped wand, or, to put it more prettily, the effect upon a garden of roses, which in one hour of hot sunshine develop from half-blcwn buds into flowers of glorious and fragrant maturity. If this blossoming goes on for another century at the rate it has begun in this the women cf the year 2'KK will wonder what those quaint old writers of the nineteenth century could have meant by objecting to women as physicians, lawyers, preachers and legislators. "Why, just fancy men trying to manage the world without the advice and direction of women!'' some fair student of that day will exclaim. And another will add. "And electricity only in its infancy! What vital force was there in those days to keep the world moving at all?" Now. one of the errors which time has thus far perpetuated and now is ready to abjure and contradict is this of the cowardice of women and courage of mn as distinctly opposed to each other. I don't say but what, in the case of a mouse, a man is more courageous than a woman, although in the matter of mad dog? I recently had proof that the woman is the more courageous. I was visiting a suburban friend lately when a dog began to show ominous symptoms of madness just in front of the house. My friend called from the window to th" man working on the. lawn and bade him go at once and throw a pail of water over the poor least. The man dropped his mower, cam-- ami looked at the dog and flatly refused to approach him any nearer, saying in so many words that he was afraid todo s-v My friend reiterated the order, but to no effect, when of a sudden a brawny, red armed woman dashed around the corner of the house, pail in hand, and made for the dog, who. sifter one dreadful backward glower at her, rushed off an 1 was no more seen. When the story was told at night to the master of the house, h commented on it by smiting his knee, laughing delightedly and exclaiming: "Civo m a woman every lime when I want water pournd over a mad dog. They don't know any lettcr than to try it on. I hope you gave the cook $1. my dear." Then I was present when a sweet little curly-haired thing.' a girl of some twenty yean old. seized a savage bloodhound by the neck and choked him off her pet kitten, which be had based into the house lhat is, I don't suppose- her tiny dimpled hands were really capable of choking him, but he was so impressed by the dauntless spirit behind them that he dropped the kitten and ran. WIk-ji his master was told of the evploit. he turned pale and exclaimed: "My Cod! That dog has torn a nun to pieces hefore now!" The strongest spring of action in a woman's nature is love, and the perfectly reckless courage, she will sometimes display must have its root in love. She must feci the need of saving or serving some Avliose life ia dearer to her than her own, or, like Joan of Are or Charlotte t'orday. she must love her country better than herself and despise the death awaiting her in its defense. In fact, the truth is that man's courage is a matter of calculation, and so may be served to ovder, may be indulged or restrained, may be sold to the highest bidder, and If a higher appear may be transferred and resold without injuring its quality in the least. That is not tobe taken as an ill-natured l it at mankind, but a simple statement of fact ns relating to mercenary troops and soldi us of fortun. and I only point out the fact as opposed to that other fact just mentioned namely, that woman's courage springs only from the personal feeling of the moment and has its roots in loye. A man and woman are mutually attached and are desirous of further acquaintance. Xow, the theory is a theory established by man and consented to by woman that she. whether maid or widow, modestly conceals her preference, not confessing it even to hrrsolf, and throwing all sorts of obstacles in the way of her wooer, such as avoiding his societv, pretending not to understand hU advances, skillfully evading his attempts at a declaration, and when he has valiantly conquered the opportunity and confessed his love and offered his baud and heart the traditional woman is very much astonished at Ih" unforeseen declaration and in a tremor of sweet confusion utterly denies any reciprocal fondness. Then a siege begins wherein the man. bold, aggressive, persistent, demolishes the defensive works wherein the woman has intrenched herself, refuses to take no for an answer, and finally by courage and persevorenee conquers all opiK'Sition and secures the prize. Well, now I ask again, are these the facts in the case, p woman, so far as you are able to testify? You know they are not. I know they are not, and every woman in the world, if sufficiently civilized to know anything, knows they are not.. The man is attracted to the woman. He asks an introduction perhaps, ayd the acquaintance begins on his part with a vague feeling of distrust and curiosity. He does not in the very lei:st understand this charming sphinx, and although confessing her charm is in his heart afraid of what she may develop. He has that is. all sensible men have ai innate consciousness that the subtlety, the quickness, the unexpectedness of a woman's maneuvers are far out of reach of his comprehension, and he awaits what she will do and say with very much the feeling Watt and Fulton tray have had when they first set their steam engines going and stood by in admiring awe, uncertain whether this wonderful new agent they had evoked would destroy them in one splendid flash or deign to follow their lead and prove a blessing to them and mankind. Should the woman thus approached feel disposed to torment her tentative lover, she has a thousand ways of doing so. She laughs at his sentimental speeches. She fails to understand his clever compliments. She asks him ironical and teasing questions with an air of seraphic innocence and ingenuous desire for information. She entertains him with praises- of hi rival. She cares nothing for boating, which is the end and aim of his being, and dotes upon horses, of which he knows nothing. Then, when she sees him utterly daunted and defeated, when she sees. In fact, that the courage which should have sustained him is utterly exhausted, and he is atout to seek safety in flight, she flashes upon hint a smile, a long, gweet

look-, a ton, a gesture, a word, and lie 13 at her feet, again. Perhaps, on the other hand, the woman 13 attracted , to the man-who has hardly noticed her. She is not delayed in her approaches by- any sense of doubt or mystery; she does not in the least look upon the object of her regard as a sphinx or a mystery: she is not at all afraid of him or of w h it, lie may do or say; sho ' understands his natute so far at least as she needs to for her present purposes, and she. feels instinctively that she has the battle in her own hand; she goes into . the. fray that is to say, into the sweet combat of lovc-r-with calm and assured courage, while he, as we have said, is tremulous with that fear of the unknown which is the most demoralizing of all fears. We will suppose that she really desires this man as a husband and does not. as in the former case, wish merely to amuse herself with conquering him. Her tactics are now altogether different, and the theory held by man of what a woman is and should be is based upon the course pursued by a woman in love who intends a permanent result from her passion. She now shows herself gentle, docile, thirsting for information upon any subject the man fancies himself learned in. let it be boots or horses, Aristotle or Bismarck, ;ork or grain or solyd or theosc.phy or finance. Xo matter which of these or a hundred more does he discourse upon, it is the one subject on which she has always longed to be informed, and she combines with the innocent ignorance of the dove so much of tho wise intelligence and quickness of the serrent that the man, fooled to the top of his bent, is presently ready to declare that such sweet and suggestive sympathy is precisely what he has -.1-ways needed to enable him to carry o.ut his life's work, and if he can only secure it as his own, etc. Or, if the declaration is not so easily reached, if the man's inherent cowardice holds him ba-jk even while Ids love urges him forward, how the woman's calm courage and self-comnu.nd enable her to general tbe rltuation! How- quietly sh iiives him the opiMUtunity which be never could have found for himself! How easily and gently she guides the conversation into the channel, conducting by easy if sinuous reaches to the desired haven! With what tact she interprets his awkward. stammering phrases and puts into his mouth turns of speech which he dimly desired, yet never could have originated! And all the time, like the acting commander In a battle, she haves the baton in the hands of the marshal, who sits in the shade and looks on. The page killed the boir; The knight had the gloire, and the man goes away from the scene of his bethrothal with the step and mien of a conqueror and thinks to himself what a dear, sweet, gentle, docile little wife he is to have, and what a cleyer fellow- he is to have drawn that timid confession of love from her reluctant lips. Life goes on. and the courage of womanhood develops in grander ways ami more useful forms. Riches take wings, and the man. finding himself cmbar-f-asod. shrinks with masculine timidity from facing the fact himself or from Confessing it to the world. Perhaps he even tries to hide it from the wife of his bosom, but she smiles at the attempt at evasion, plucks out the secret, and holding it tip in calm, courageous hands, shows it for the ror thing it is and tells so bravely how it is to be conquered and put aside' that the man plucks up heart of g'-ace to meet the foe before whom he had been ready to fall down in abject submission. And if povertydeep, dire poverty comes it is woman's courage that meets it and makes the pest of it; it is she who dares to show herself to the world, to their own world, in the garb and equipage and occupations of poverty; it is she who says, virtually, if not in words, My min l t me a kingdom is, and reigns a queen within that kingdom undisturbed by the stupid comments of poor souls who cannot comprehend her or her royalty. Perhaps the man breaks down utterly, for men are far more pione to break than bend, and then nine times ut of ten the wife finds courage and ability to take ui the laboring oar that be has dropped and becomes the breadwinner of the family. And with what brave and strong resolution is that labor accomplished, even when ' the frail physique seems crumbling beneath the strain! The mother of oi f our governors sat up in bed when he was but a few days old and sewed upon boys" trousers for a clothing store that she might pay the woman who nursed her for one week more. Another woman, crippled from the waist down, rolled herself around the house in a chair and did her own housework because her husband could not afford to hire it done. And how many more have done as nmch and never were heard of? In other ways, too is there a disagreoale truth to 1 told, or a caution given, or a warninp conveyed in social or moral matters, who has the courage to do these thine? Is it a woman or a man? MRS. KRANK LESLIE.

THE FEEDING OF CHILDREN.

Aot nmmnxT necessary tor good TEETH, nOES MISCLES Too Jroffie n !' of Snpf rtlne White. Floor otn the eed of l)rtIU, Dj-spepsin nnd Deformity nnd C'Liecl. tho Development of Urn In nmi From nothing, nothing conies. If children are to have good'teeth, lx'nes and muscles they must be fed on food which contains an adequate supply of nourishment for the above, structures; otherwise they are half-starved and are unite sure to be troubled in after life with decaying teeth, contracted jaws, crowed Fpines and legs and delicate muscles. In an article in the Tribune not h ng ago it was represented that the teeth of the American and English children and young people are becoming more and more defective. We have not to look far for the chief causes of the decaying teeth which often crowd the poorly developed jaws of the rising generation. Today our children are fed largely upon bread, cakes, pie crusts and puddings made from th- finest white superfine flour, which can b" ground or rolled and bolted from wheat and rye. A careful analysis of these grains shows that immediately beneath the hull lies the dark Ix'Uion of the kernel, which is hard, firm and very difficult to grind or roll into a fine iyour, and more or jess of it is quite sure tNremain in contact with the bran, and in foiling the "rest of it is mostly separated from the fine flour. N'w, this lark porti.n thus disposed xf contains in excess tn very substances required to nourish the teeth, bones, muscles and brain namely, the gluten and phosphates whereas the central or white portion of the grain contains an excess of starch, which is easily pulverized, and by bolting gives the superfine whit flou r. Th? superfine white flour is composed of an undue portion of starch, which where in proper proportion, as it ovists in the grain, is useful in supplying heat and fat producing material, but it does not contain enough teeth. lom muscle, brain and nerve nourishing material to sustain animal life for any considerable length of time. 'onseqm nt ly superfine white flour will keep in barrels and baps for a long time without being disturbed by insects, worms or must., whereas thunbolted meal will not keep for anv gre?t length of time withour becoming unpleasant to the taste. Magendt. one of the ablest physiologists who have evr lived. demonstrated bv experiments that animals fed exdusivelv upon the finest superfine flour died in a few weeks, whereas those fed on unbolted flour thrived. During the study and practice of medicine for over thirty years tin worst cases of scurvy I have ever seen occurred in a girl five or six years old. who for some weeks would eat nothing but toast made from superfine flour bread. I only rescued her from death by requiring her mother to mix mashed potatoes with the fiour from which her bread was made. Imperfect development of tic teeth, bones, muscles, brain and nerves is the inevitable result which follows if children are f-d largely on super'ine white flour conked iu any form, and flefi rmit y. dyspepsia and debility in after life. j f pa rents care for the present health aod development and for the comfort of their children in after life, they should neveslet any superfine Hour or bread or en kes made from such Hour enter the house where their children dwell, t is difficult to imagine the immense harm to the present and vi -ing general ion which js lei!)g done by the use of superfine white flour, and the whiter the poorer it i. It should be banished from use. and it is heing banished steadilv bv intelligent and liberal minded people who are not slaves to habit and fashion. 1 have known a man when traveling to walk a mile to get a. loaf of graham bread rath-r than eat white bread. To those who have been accustomed to cat gnilumi bread, cakes, etc. white bread is tasteless and without substance and altoget her unsat isfaotory. "Wherever people live on nnbolt-d wheat or rye flour or meal they have good teeth, bones or muscles. I well remember, when in Egypt in 1N4. at Thebes, the little Arab girl who, with a vessel of water upon her head, ran over the sand, stones, recks and hills as we rode upon our do ikeys to visit the tombs of the kings, for she had splendid teeth, sparkling' eyes and a beautiful and well developed waist, symmetrical in form and graceful in every movement. On a. visit to the house of our Arab dragoman, or guide, to look at some curiosities which had been obtained from the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, we saw two women grinding at a mill and making the kind of flour which that young girl ale.

The women took, hold of th'-se handles and turned th upper stone around ar.d around and bac'-c and forth, and the. flour, or meal, ran out betwern the outer edgs of thn Stones I said to the guide: "Wo have not had a lit of good bread in Kspt, for at the hotels nt whiii we kac- stopped they thir.k that they must furniah super

He did so. and it wis the l,et bread we had in Egypt.
