A cer-- tain amount of meat is known to be necessary, How can the average housewife know whether she is feed Ing her family in the proper propor tlion? She can't stop to weigh or to calculate the exract number of calo ries In each. She needs some general practical working rule by which to check up her food purchases and to estimate the relative amount of each kind of food she is giving her family.

In a moment he was moving down a long, szeep pitch on his back, The slide was bare rock and fairly smooth, and IAg speed increased momentarily, 'Then his beel struck a projection, and he turned over with his face forward and proceeded on his stomach. Involuntarily he had thrown both arimms forward to save his face, and he was now scooting down with bands turned upward at the wrists --just enough to keep his palms from scour-- ing to the bone. His right hand touched a second projection, and his fAngers grasped on it. The grip caused his body to slew round sideways. His left hand grabbed the littlk flange of rock and hung on. The abrupt stop to-- gether with the swift swing broke his right arm, but he clung with a death An old, wrinkled grandfather Zunit at the top of the slope, seeing bim, yelled like a coyote and ran for pueblo.

Presently the old Zuni re appeared bearing several reatas, which he nimbly knotted into a long rope. Other Indians grasped it, and the old man started down the slide. « When the Zuni reached the judge he looped the rope round his body below the arms and with one arm helped him up. With.the judge clinging with his good hand beside the darker hand of the Zuni and the Indian's arm round his body, the men above hauled in slowly, and the two walked up , the slopm much as a Kanaka walks up the side of a ship, when given a rope to hold by. Judge Cozzens says in his memoirs that his slide ripped and wore cloth-- ing and skin to shreds, and that a broken bone gave him acute pain ; but the rescue and the tender care given him made him appreciate the vast dif-- ference between the Apache, whom he' had fought, and the pueblo Indians, who are essentially men of peare..--= Youth's Companion.
