Soientifie men say that honey is a much more healthful sweet than sugar, and has many valuable properties. It is nutritive, and when used freely with bread makes an excellent food for children. It is a laxa- tive, and may be used advantageously in place of medicine by persons of sedentary lives. Being also the daintiest and most delicious of sweets—an extract of blossoms— it is hardly possible to eat it to an injurious extent. It needs no digestion, as sugar does, and even acts u a digestive aid, News Notes. —C.

Of the enormous quantities of food which- go to make up a four menthe' supply for this number of men and anim Is few persons can have even the remotest idea.

T, is commodity was fits given 'to the British troops n the Souda expedition of 1884 and 1885, and it was fterwards sup- plied to the Ashanti expe ition. It was reported on very favourabl on each occa- sion, for not only was it regarded with favour by the troops, but i was found to P be distinctly healthy food, specially on ae- count of its antiserobutio properties, an important consideration in he absence of a good supply of freak vegeta les.

A CURIOUS INCIDENT. AN UNUSED ROOM THAT HAD A DASH OF MYSTERY IN IT- A Transformation. That Was quickly and Silently Effeete , or It May Be au Optical Illusion That Deceived Three L'aire of Eye,. In the course of the af er dinner talk at a little gathering a few ights ago a well known professional man of New Orleans told the following singul r "story: "In the spring of '1,89.2," be said, "I was Hying in a house on North Rampart street which I had taken on a one yeai lease, expecting to build. Our family co sisted of myself and wife, our little b y, then only 5 years old, and my unma ried sister. The house was a two story •rick which had been built before the w r, and the inte- rior arrangement was v ry simple. T front door opened on a hall which co tained the staircase andranall the. wa through on the right had side, while o the left was first onr parlor, then the di Ing room and laetly a small unuSe apartment not, much larger than a close Up stairs were bedrooms, and in the rea was a detached kitchen. "We allowed the little room on th first floor to stand vacant for several re sons. To begin with, it was -really to small for actual service and saas be& lighted by only one high, narrow window Besides, some :of the plastering had fal en from the ceiling, and I was afraid t rest might come tumbling down on our heads. That was undoubtedly a sourc of danger and prevented us -from using i for storage,. so we timply left it as vs found it—entirely empty. I suppose th room was constructed originally for pantry. I have been a little particular i describing these details because, as yo will see, they have a direct bearing on mstory. riVe had been living the house al most a year," continued the speaker "when one Sunday in June, as nearly a I can remember, I went with -my wif and child, to see some friends near Audis bon park; My sister was visiting at Bi loxi at the time, and we let the servan off for a holiday. We got- back at 5 o'clock or thereabout, for I recollect it was still 'quite light, and as we were walking toward the house •I noticed that somebody had left a stepladder standing 'directly in front of the high window opening into the little disused room on the ground floor. 'That's rather a cordial invitation to prowlers,'J said, half jok- ingly. 'Let's see whether any have avail- ed themselves of it,.'- "So. when we went inside we walked back together to the last door, and I pushed it open. 'Why, what does this mean?' I exclaimed in amazement. There was nobody there, but the room, which had always been eutirely vacant, con- tained several pieces of furniture. A. rough looking table stood in one corner with an old fashioned straight backed chair in 'front of it, and opposite was a sniall cot bed. There Were some papere and other things on the table and a reli- gious print stuck on one of the walls. "I started to enter, but my wife held me back. 'Don't go in,' she pleaded. aThe plaster mriy fall. Those things must belong to the cook.' . It struck me as very strange that the cook should move in without asking permission, but 1 noticed nsy wife was very nervous, so I drew the door to, and ,we went into the parlor. A few moments later I walked outside to shift the ladder, and as 1 pick- ed it up glanced through the window. The rciom wa.s perfectly .empty. "I am not superstitious, and the proof of it is that I thought immediately 1 was the victim of some practical joke. I 'res entered the :house quietly fop the rear and again I Opened the door. The rdom - was as empty as a drum, and it was evi- dent at a glance that no sort of trickery , was remotely possible. I won't atte pt tol describe my feelings. I was so sho k- ed; so bewildered, so frightened, to ell you tho truth, that for a moment or to I Was simply rooted to the spot. Then I pulled myself together somehow aed went back to the parlor. My wife saw at once that something. was wrong. 'It's that room!' I blurted out. 'There's noth- ing in it now --not a stick!' and immedi- ately I had 'a case of hysterics on my hands.

A South Sea Island Bride. The bridal procession was approaching. In front, Walking abreast, came the wed- ded pair—tall, handsome and of Lin ex- cellent tawny hue. The bride, a beauti- ful young girl, exhibited a ludicrously ab- surd appearance. Her shapely legs and feet were naked. She- wore a low bodice of scarlet satin bedecked with sheulder knots of brilliant blue. Round her body so many robes, some of the papetaike barkeloth, Others woven of the native grass, were enwrapped, that her aspect, instead of itnpressing us, as it doubtless did the natives, with respect for her wealth, merely made comic sugostion that the poor child was parading ineide a barrel!
