During aud after most kind* ol Illness It
It now the custom to give the most nourish-
ing and dlgostlblo kinds of food. Tho day
for "whlshy-washy" spoon food Is fairly

meat Jelly are given when once tea and
gruel would have been rigidly prescribed.
To prepare beet Juice properly, as it is
done In hospital practice, select a thick out
from the round, or, bettor still, from tho in-
side of the shouldor. The butcher will
probably understand if you ask him for the
"bread and butter" piece. Cut off a piece
half as large as a man,s hand, broil It only
lopg enough to thoroughly heat it and start
. the Juice. Pat It In a hot bowl, standing It
in a pan ot hot water to keep it from cool-
ing. Cut it with a sharp knife in many
pieces, and squeeae out all the Julee with a
lemon-squeezer. Halt the Juice slightly and
■erre it immediately In a hot eup, covering
it till it is handed to the patient, who may
•atMan aeoompaniment thin bread and
butter or a delicate cracker. The Juice
■nil be taken directly after it le prepared,
aa It la unpalatable unlets hot, but on no
aooenat aheuld It be heated ever the Are,
aa atroag heat coagulates it and thus

spread them lightly with butter and then
with scraped beef. Sprinkle on n little salt
and pepper, Isy the clrolos together and

Of course the doctor must be asked for j other state. I ara not going to school for

somo rules to govern the patient's diet.
Thorn are Instance* where a physician
would object to the following preparation,
but In many case* it 1* thought very desir-
able: Holl an egg for twenty minute*;
then lako out the yolk, which should be
dry and mealy, and spread It upon a slice
of well-browned toast which has been very
slightly buttered. Have a cup of riillft
heating while the other things are being
prepared, but do not let it boll. Malt it to
taste, and pour it over tho toast, with the
addition of a leaspoonful of ercam.lf this I*
allowed by the piiyslclun. It should be 111
a soup plate or smutl dish. Put a cover
over It, sot la tho oven for a few moment*
and serve, with a clean napkin on the
waiter, and a lb k and spoon as-bright as
tho best «livor polish can make them, and a
tiny bit of currant Jelly, it sweets are al-
lowed, on an especially pretty glaxs or dec-
orated china saucer. Nothing III the house
is too nice or two pretty to sorvo the inva-
lid'* fare on. A convalescent I* very dainty
(don't lot u* *ay "fussy") and eye* as well
a* palate should bo catered to by those who
cook for tho sick.—American Agriculturist.
Municipal Suffrage for Women.
Governor Amos, of Massachusetts, in Ills
Inaugural addrese, advocated the enact-
ment of a law securing municipal suffrage
to wouiou. "If," he *uld, "we can trust
uneducated mon to vote we can with
greater safety grant the same power to
women, who, as a rule, are as well eductted
and quite Intelligent a* mon." Without
conceedlng a* much a* the Massachusetts
governoi stems to imply by this last sen-
tence, any fair-minded man can see much
to iiistify the recommendation he has made.
As members of municipal organizations,
women have quite as much at stake on tho
Issues of local government as men, and are
equally able to judge the character of can-
didates aud local lssuet. They have a
right to this privilege,and It Is to be hoped
that this movement, already powerfully
backed, will bo successful.—New York

"Problema To Be Solved."
The steady drllt of population from the
couutry to the cltltos Is one of the moBt
striking features of our National develop-
ment. The tendency is most clcarly shown
I11 Massachusetts, where, as the Springfield
Republican sliows, the population of all
the people gathered In tho cltics and towns
of moro than 8,000 inhabitants has risen
from less than one-twentieth a hundred
year* ago, and but llttle^over a third in
18M), to quito two-thirds when the last
stato census was takon, in 1885. Our form
of government was framed for an agri-
cultural population distributed pretty
evenly In small farming towns. We now
have to deal with a population which, as In
New York State, is ma*sod to tho extent ol
one-third of nil in two adjoining cities, and
as In Maseacbusetts, Is gathered to the ex-
tent of two-third* of the whole In places
with over 8,000 inhabitants. Hero are prob-
lems to bo solved which were undroamud
of by tho "fathers."—Now York Evonlng

1 thought 1 would write to let the people

hopo It will not always be Hits way. 1
hopo tlie Alliance will havo influence
enough over the farmer* to causo them to
quit raising so much cotton,and raise moro
corn, wheat and oats, so their children caa
get to go to school more. Tho farmers
