Medical science has taken up the
food question so closely during recent
years and gone to such trouble and ex-
pense to find outt every deletereous
quality in articles of every -day con-
sumption that. the man who studies
hygiene attentively can only eat -if
he believes all he readis-at the tireat
risk of contracting disease or poison-
ing himself.
Bread is not to be thought of as
an, article of diet. it is a treacherous
compound, consisting largely of alum
and potatoes, and, eoncocted in some
inennitary cellar, it is teeming with
microbes and totally unfit for food.
No careful man eill touch beef owing
to the number of tuberculous carcas-
ses which are constantly being plac-

of touching pork for fear the late-
tamented piggy might have died of

ways the risk 51 damage to the diges-
tive organs,
.Butter and milk are poisoned with
boracic acid and other notch/um preserv-
atives, tu say nothing of the artificial
coloring matter which is frequently
added. Eggs are dangerous, because
so many of them are packed in lime
to keep them good, and recently, too,
a French bacillus has found his way
in through the ahell. In addition to
other drawbacks, cheese helps to ruin
digeet ion.
Raw fruit helim along cholera to a
great extent. It also contains prua-
sic acid round the skin, pips and stone.
When cooked it induces dysentery.
Of tinned and potted stuffs little
need be said, except that the solder
of the tine makes for lead poisoning,
and potted meats have recently been
shown to be simply a mass of spiced
rotten filth and garbage.
Fish, although possessing highly
nutritious qualities, should be avoided,
owing to the large quantity which is
sold in an unfit state for human con-
sumption. and the 'difficulty of obtain-
ing it really fresh.
With beveragee the same difficul-
ties present themselves to the careful
feeder. Beer, wines or spirits are not
to be thought of. They affect the
brain and eyes. and act injuriously
upon the eoating ef the stomach. Te.a

interference of the work by insects

over the flowers treated, and allow to

Having optioned the seed I take a

as hot as the band will bear. It is now
covered with a pane of glass, and plac-
ed in a sunny situation. 1 usually sow
my geranium needs in April, as they
will then be fine plants fur winter
blooming. In from four to six days
the aeedlings appear, the soil in kept
moist, always watering with warm
water, but not wet, and they are well
covered at night to avoid the cold. As
80011 as the seedlings appear. I remove
the glass, or they will be weak and
spindling. When the plants have de-
veloped four leaves, they are trans-
ferred to 2 -inch pots, filled with good
soil. The best aoi) for this purpose Is
a leaf mold or a sandy loam, not too
light, but at the same time not cling-
ing. Add to it about one-eighth part
of manure that is well decomposed. To
eaoh bushel of this mixture add a four -
inch pot of bone dust and a five -inch
pot of soot. Mix well together. Put
plenty of drainage in the pots.
Place in a shady spot for a few days
until the plants have recovered from
the ahook of transplanting, then give
sun and water in abundance. Encour-
age a fresh healthy growth by liber-
al shower baths, and at the end of
five or six weeks the pots should be
full of roots. Transfer to 4 -inch pots
with rich soil. Give a dose of liquid
manure once a week, and at the end of
two months or perhaps six weeks, the
pots are again filled with roots. Trans -

blooming.

tirely disposed of and a new lot

If the plants after the one stalk

transfer them to the garden and let
them bloom. In our climate, if the
geranium's are cut back after the first
frost and the roots well protected with
straw or leaves, the plants come up
in the spring and bloom all the sea-
son. These make a fine display and
are excellent for seeding purposes.
With patience and perseverance it kr
possible to achieve some excellent re -
suite, and the keen enjoyment of me-
rmen alone will fully repay the trou-
ble.
FERNS.
One of the prettiest and ebtkripest
ways of beautifying the home is by
the use of ferns. They are always re-
freshing, because they suggest the
shadows and the cool breezes of the
woods, and one can scarcely have too
many of them. Nothing Is a more
graceful house trimming than a row
of ferns close to the porch; and if
that place Ls too sunny, they can be
scattered about the house in jardin-
ieres or rustic boxes. When getting
them from the woods, remember to
trensplant them quickly, as wilted
ferns seldom revive.
ABOUT PANSY CULTURE.
The pansy is a flower that is be-
loved by everyone. All wbo have a gar-
den try to grow it, yet not many of
its admirers really understand its hab-
its wen enough to enable them to ob-
tain the best results in its culture.
The pansy loves cool weather. It
gives Its finest bloom in late spring
and early summer, and again in the
fall, iNthe talanto have been properly
treated. The intense beat of mideum-
mer affects (he vitality of the plants;
the flowers wax smaller and less num-
erous, and the plants themselves seem
to die down during the hot days. They
seldom actually die ; but live on at "a
poor dying rate" until the cool days
of autumn come, with the refreshing
autumnal rains, when they get a fresh
lease of life, and would give a nne crop
of flowers were they not overtaken by
winter juat as they are ready for busi-
ness.
E. E. Reefer& a well known writer
on floral topic,e, saye

Smoking is the temperate as well as
tbe contemplative omn'a recreation
and great tuntakern are loath to exhibit
their tobatsco-consummg a.bilititse by
engaging in smoking contests. Still,
however, there have been aunts curi-
ous tobacco races. lu 1783 there war
a great smoking coutest at Oxford,
Englund, aeaffold belng erected in
front of an inn for the accommodation
of the competitorn. The conditions
were that anyone, man or woman, weio
could amoke three ounces of tobacco
without drinking or leaving the
stage, should have a prize of twelve
shilliags.
"Many tried," said Hearne, "and
'twats thought that journeyman tail-
or of St. Peters lu the east would have
been the viotor, he smoking faster than
and being many pipet before the rest,
but at last he was ao sick 'twee
though he would have died and an
old inan that had been a builder and
smoking gently came uff the conquer-
or, baulking the three ounces quite out,
and he told me that after that he
emoked three or four pipes the same
evening." •
About forty years ago a gentleman
agreed to smoke a pound weight of
strung cigars in twelve hours. The
101) cigars making up the pound were
all to be smoked down to one -inch
butts. The match was decided on a
Thames steamer, plying between Lon-
don and Chelsea, and by taking up his
position well forward the 'smoker had
the full benefit of the wind. The con -
teat began at 10 a.m., and in the first
hour the smoker consumed eixteen
cigars. After nine hours smoking
eighty-six had been disposed of, and
with three hours to go and only four-
teen to smoke the baeker of time gave
in. The winner declared that he felt
no discomfort during the contest and
finished oft the 100 cigars that even-
ing. More recently a solid cigar case
aud 200 cigars were offered to the
smokier who con/mined most cigars in
two bours. Food, drink, and medicine
were forbidden. There were Bevan -
teen entries. Atter the first hour ten
competitors retired. The winner,
who smoked without pause without
who smoked without pause from start
to finish, reduced ten large cigars to
ashes in the twohours, while big near-
est competirot only finished seven. The
people of Lille are inveterate whiskers
and to decide the championship of the
town a smoking contest was held
Each competitor was provided with a
pipe, fifty grammes, about an ounce
and three-quarters, of tobacco and a
pot of beer. The one who smoked the
tobacco first was to be the winner. At
the signal the air was filled with
clouds of smoke. In thirteen minutes
a workingman 45 years of age bad re-
duced his weed to ashes, while seven
minutes later the second man finished
his little s.moker. After such hercu-
lean smoking matches it is scarcely
nec.esaary to mention the American
contest, in which the winner smoked
100 cigarettes in six hours and thirty-
five minutes.

hundred thousand bushels greater

Last season the company used some-
thing like 4,500 box oars in carrying
east tbe grain crop of that year. Thie
season they have added tu (heir equip-

in moving the year's crop, tome 5,500
empty cars have already been trans-
ferred to the Western division of the

The Imomotive power for this addi-
tional rolling stock will be taken from

TRUTRe FOR GIRLS
Never mind about the dimplea if
there's sunshine in your smile.
At least one little act of kindness a
day and an eatry pillow at night
Vaeation planning is all right, but
don't let the summer dreams interfere
with school duties.
Neatness of dress fired. and style may

One frown a day when she's in her
teens will wrinkle a girlei forehead
like a crone by the time Ole is 20.
Try to make yourself aa agreeable to
your brother as if he were some other
girl's brother It will pay tu win his
boyish confidenee.
