fodder are required to produce 1

eats hey and grass and concentrated
foods like bran and olleake.
A pig eats 7 .pounde of barley (6

it requires 12 pounds of dry fodder
to produce 1 .pound of dry human

bread, and hence competes with man
for a precious bread -making grain.
A fowl eats 100 pounds of corn and

10 pounds of wool, which is invaluable
and is supplementary to the food
value of the animal.
Finally, a fat ox eats 8 tons of dry
fodder during three years, of life, and
produces £00 pounds of beef, or 250

due thd. roast beef of old England re-
quires more than five times the quan-
tity of fodder that is required to pro-
duce the same food value in the form
of milk, veal, and! cow -meat. A fat-
tened ox is eindeed a costly product.
For example, if a steer Weighs at the
start 1,016 pounds, at the end of
three months of fattening he may
weigh 1,226 pounds, and if during the
period he has eaten 196 pounds of fod-
der weekly, and dried fodder used irt
the production of 1 pound of human
food will amount to 55 pounds. But
if the process of fattening l'ee con-
tinued, as is usually the case, then at
the end of another three months the
animal may weigh 1,275 pounds. If the
fodder during this .interial has

The Mexicans have a dish known as
'Chili' con came" (meat with Chill pep-
per), the ingredientsfor which one
\valid doubtless have difficulty in ob-
taining except in the Southwestern Un-
ited Statos.
However, a good substtiuto for it may
be made with the foods available in all
parts of the country. The Mexican re-
cipe is as follows:
Remove the seeds from two Chili pep-
pers, soak the pods in a pint of warm
water until they are soft, scrape the pulp
from the skin and add to the water. Cut
two pounds or beef into small pieces and
brown in butter or drippings. „ Add a
clove of garlic and the. Chili water. Cook
until the meat is tender, renewing the
water if necessary. Thicken the sauce
wth flour. Serve with Mexican beans
either mixed with the meat or used as a
border..
In the absence of the Chili peppers,
water and Cayenne pepper may be used.
and onions may be substituted for gar-
lic, and the Mexican beans, red kidney
beans, either canned or fresh make a
good substitute, If the canned beans
are used they should be drained and
heated in a little savory fat or butter.

marble.% Four pillars with huge carv-
ed bears' paws for feet, abpport an
ornate canopy above it. The chair it-
self is of gold, ivory, and precious
woods, ablaze with inset jewels. It is
upholetered with ermine.
Of almost equal splendor is the
throne of the kaiser in Berlin. It le

of state are the emblematic lion dead

of the throne terminate in a pair et
lions heads of gold with open jaws.
_Presumably, however, there will
never be a throne to compare with
that of the Mogul emperors of Hindu-
stan. 'The famous "peacock throne"
at Delhi cost at least £ 4,000,000-
poesib1y twice that sum. Behind it
stood two life-sized peacocks, on
ameled with rubies, sapphires, emer-
alds and other precious stones of col-
ors appropriate to represent the birds
in life.
The chair was of solid gold profuse-
ly studded with gems and surmounted
by a canopy upheld by 12 golden pil-
lars. On either side was 011 umbrella
(an Oriental symbol of- sovereignty)
of crimson velvet, embroidered and
fringed with pearls. It was- carried
off to Teheran in 1739 by Nadir Shah,
the Persian conqueror, after the eack
of Delhi, and was eventually broken
up.--.Philaclelphia North American.

Too Much Soap Bad,
Many persons abuse soap by malting
a stiff ,creamy lather in bathing, under
the belief that it le necessary to
dissolve dirt that fills th; pores of the
skin. On the contrary, Dr. Samuel
Dixon, health commissioner of Penn-
sylvania, says very little soap is re.
quired to break up dirt and permit
water to remove fore,ign substances
front the pores so that glands may
perform their normal function, Ex-
cessive use of soap usually fills the
pores with fatty substances and re-
sults in imperfect action of the sweat
glands, which is recognized as a Cameo
of disease, especially of a respiratory
nature.
