As for the Chinese, the Japanese, the
Indians, their powers of endurance
are proverbial, and they live almost
exclusively on rice.
To -day, when it is a matter of im-
ortance
p to the nation, it is seen how
little the people of Great Britain
know of the health -giving properties
of vegetables, eaten in England as an
obligate accompaniment to the meal,
pot considered of sufficient import-
ance to take the first place in the
menu.
We read in scientific articles, deal-
ing with the important subject of the
requirements of the body, of how
much fat, sugar, etc., is necessary to
make blood and bone. This is said
in technical language, but if the re-
lative value of each article of food
were clearly stated, it would be of
greater use to the million. They
would learn that there are vegetables
chiefly composed of water, such as
marrows, that have no nutritive quall-
ties, and that there are others, like
spinach and globe artichokes, full of
iron. These are questions that a sci-
entist might deal with to the advant-
age of the woman in her home. But
those who come by their knowledge
from experience, more than from
study,. will agree that there is nothing
more sustaining than rice, beans in
every variety, lentils, eggs, that re -
,place the ordinary butcher's
meat, if eaten in sufficient quantities,
with a green vegetable or salad, cook-
ed fruits, milk puddings, cheese, to
satisfy a large appetite.
The raw material is the same in
England as it is in France, but how
is it prepared? All the average
inan or woman knows of macaroni is
what is called macaroni cheese, with
a crust as hard as a prick. Vegetables,
boiled in water, flat and flavorless;
rice, an unsavory mash or only con-
sidered food for children. The Eng-
lishman, as a French chef once ex-
plained, clings to his meat because it
is the only article of food English
cooks know how to prepare,
Dinner Without Flesh.—The French
have made a study of dining without
meat, for the majority abstain from
it, on religious grounds, once, and.
sometimes twice, a week, but nobody
complains of the substitute in France.
Tho menus are made with as much
tare for a "maigre" dinner as for one
where butcher's meat may figure.
‘,There will be either a vegerable soup
or macaroni to start the meal, a dish

w- "Rainbow jelly" may be made as
d you do marble cake, by pouring sav-
e eral different kinds of jelly into the
same mold. Of course, each should
o harden before the next is put in.
Children's shoes should be half -
soled after being worn three weeks,
they will be in better shape and
wear much longer than if first worn
into holes and then half -soled.
An ordinary funnel willmake an
excellent holder for the ball of string.
Hang it up by its ring and put the
ball into the upper part, drawing the
string through the funnel.
A charming serving tray is made
of the printed blue and white towel-
ling from Japan, covered with glass
and framed in soft grey. Richer
trays are made with precious Chin-
ese embroideries used in the same
way.
When you wash lace curtains,
don't rub them. Put i}tto cold water
with borax; bring to a boil and boil
fifteen or twenty minutes. Rinse
through and stiffen in a final water,
which has five cents worth of gum
arabic in it.
Wind a piece of paper around a
pencil and fill the tube so formed with
Persian powder. Stand it in a dish
of sand and burn it an hour before
bedtime. It drives the mosquitoes
away and so insures an untroubled
night's sleep.
Precipitated chalk is excellent for
cleaning tarnished silver. Place a
little in a saucer and add just enough
liquid ammonia to•moisten it. Rub
this lightly over the silver, and the
stains will quickly disappear. Then
wash in hot suds, dry earefully and
polish with a clean chamois leather.

THE HAMS OF WESTPHALI A.
Elaborate Process of Curing By Ex-

The famous Westphalian hams,
which are eaten without cooking, are
cured by an elaborate process that has
been worked• out patiently and skill-
fully by generations of expert work-
men. A writer in the New York Sun
thus describes the process:
After being rubbed thoroughly with
a solution in which there are one hun-
dred pounds of salt to one pound of

cement floors, or in vatsnd thickly

The smokehouses are two or three
stories high, with holes bored in the
flooring. The fires are kindled on

A HEROIC BOY.
How a Lad of Ten Acted Under a
Great Trial.
There is an Australian boy of ten.
whose courage and resourcefulness
under conditions that would have tried
the resolution of a grown man, are
worth the tribute of recital.
His name is Vincent Atkins=, and
he is the son of a miner who lived
in a lonely district of Western'
Australia. Last March, Vincent, who
is just ten years old, was living with
his mother and four younger children:
—Robert, Isabel, Arthur, and a baby'
only a few months old—at Biilili Sta.-
tion, fifteen miles from Lennonville.
His father was some twelve miles
away, prospecting for gold.
The weather was intensely hot, and
one day, just after the midday meal,
little Isabel, who was five, ran to the
other children, crying, "Oh, mam-
ma's lying asleep in the suns" They
went out to her, and Vincent found
that his mother was dead.
Considering what to do, the lad's
first impulse was to follow his father
across the thirsty waste of the "out-
back' gold field, but he feared that he
could not find him. He next thought
of leaving the younger children and
going for help to Five Mile town,
where his uncle lived. But he was
afraid to leave the little ones by
themselves, and so he decided to take
them with him.
First, however, he fed the poultry
and the few cattle, gave them water, e
turned off the windmill pump, gave
each of the children a piece of bread
and butter and a good drink of water,
and took a big drink himself to last
the journey. Next, he filled the
water bag, and a feeding bottle for
the baby, put the infant into the go-
cart, which he pushed, and, for fear
the puppy would perish if he was left
behind, took it with him. Very early
in the afternoon the pitiful little pro-
cession started out for Five Mile
town, eight miles off, barefooted, and
through scorching, gritty sand all the
way, with the thermometer at 115
degrees in the shade.
Under the burning rays of the sun
the puppy soon gave way, and had to
be carried. Then little Arthur's feet
became sorely blistered, and Vincent
had to take him on his back. Pushing
the' gocart through the heavy sand,
he himself suffered indescribable dis-
tress from (teat, thirst, and exhaus-
tion, but he would not give up.
Owing to the terrible heat, the baby
required constant attention; and a sip
of water every few hundred yards.
Vincent's great fear was lest the
water bag should give out before Five
Mile town was reached; but with
Robert and Isabel clinging to the go-
cart, Vincent Atkinson staggered into
the little mining town about six
o'clock in the evening alive, and hard-
ly more.

WHERE COWS GIVE NO MILK.
Chinese Use Them Solely for Draft
Purposes.
Foreigners who travel through the
interior of China greatly miss "Cows'
milk and her butter," as a Japanese
sign puts it. The people of the
Orient use Little of either. Mares'
milk is sold to invalids at a high
price because the Chinese believe that
it is a source of great bodily strength,
But the natives use cows solely for
draft purposes, and, having earned

foreigners demand milk of her. To
her offspring she will give it, but not
to man, if by any possibility she can
avoid it.
