If. is to be feared that many ex- cellent mode-:1 of cooking which pre- V'ailoid i1‘. the 310st are now abandon- ed simply to save trouble, says Lon- don Lancet. The modern cook, 0r the person who calls herself such, although she may be positively in.- smucied to roast meat in the good ohd- fawhioned way in a screen in front 0f the fire, commonly ignores lzer instructions at every possible 0p- portunity, and puts the joint in the oven. The 'introduction of the “kitchener” or the clot ed 1ange and of the gas cooker probably accounts for t'..e preference which is given to baking, while it d-oes away with the '1:o:eslsity of basting and other little but important c'ulinary attentions ulhlioh roasting involves. There car.- be little doulbt that by this exchange of method not a few persons are dietetic suff'01ers The pr'efeience for meat openly roasted before the fire is not a mere sentiment, for the flavor of meat so cooked is infinitely superior and the tiflstu'e is generally more tender than when it is baked. Now the flavor and tendenness of meat have much to _do _with its digestibility, and c1011- sequently with its real value as a foo'd. Without relish and aplpetite digestion is sluggish and heavy. In- deed, it has been said that the pro- ceils of digestion commences before ingestion, and certainly the diges- t'iie functions are stimulated to healthy ac'tivityby the sight of a tender and well cooked morsel as well as by an excellent flavor 0r aroma. It has been shown that the mere inspection of good, tempting food-s start the digesti3e machinery mfd immediately excites the flow of tle gastric juice. It is, theref'me, not unreasonable to suppose that there must be a difference of some 'dieiic i111,'p'0-1'tan':e pro'd'u-ced in the organism, when 0n one hand, a bak- e'd, heavy looking joint is in con- tem'rllation and when 011 the other, it is a bright, attractirve loo-king, ba:ause an openly roasted, joint. .As a matt01 of fact,'tl10'10 is a great difference between the tv 01 111e- tllods of cooking, baking and ioast- llllg' 111 the for'me1 case the meat in reality is cooked in hot air, which has a tendency to deem 1pos0 the fat into acri'd substances. “hen the door of an oven in which a joint is oooking is op0110;,l t .0 fumes escape, smelling like a tallow candle which has just been blown out. Tl. e smell fro-m a joi'nt being roasted has not this character, 'but on the con- tinary, is agreeable In roasting, the joint is cool-zed by radiation â€"- that is, by the bombardment, so t0 speak, 0f heat w'.aves Th 0 air be- tween the fire and the joint, might be quite cool, yet 10asti11g would roceed all the same, Roasting also 1s a lens 1apid method of cooking than is baking anl'd s'l-ow coo-king has very d0: ido'd advantages in regard to presze 'ving the nutii'ti'30 Value 0f the meat.

THlE ROAD TO YESTERDAY. There is a road to yesterday- A wondrous thorougl1fare,_ Where wanton breezes idly play And blossoms stent the air. It stretches long and far and straight; It 33'an!de1's up and down; It passes many an open gate And many a little town. There is a 10nd to yesterday; The grasses grow beside, And trees that spread and swing and sway And shade the pathway wide, Its flowers are a goodly sight,- And it goes on and on And leads to many a stalry night And many a cloudless dawn. There is a roa'd to yesterday, And we may trace its gleam In fleeking shade of dancing ray U'pon some. little stream; 01' we may see it, when, with eyes Half-closed, we hear a song That calls 11p many a glad sunrise And many a twilight long. There is\a road to yesterday, And each one knows its start- The portal to this wondrous way Is held within the heart; From there the pleasant courses lead As far as 0110 can see- It rests on many a golden deed And many a. memory. â€"-â€"â€"+ GRAINS OF GOLD.

ARE Disease" Hydrophobia So I Rare That Many Believe It Is Due to Imagination- Years ago the cry of "mad dog” was worse in its effects than the cry of fire in a packed theatre. Since then science has determined that only three snakes in all North Am- erica have poisonous stings; “ghosts,” almost by universal con- sent, have been “laid”; the germ theory has destroyed belief in many panaceas for many diseases; and yet there are more doubters of the ex- istence of hydrophobia; to-day than there are disbelievers in the vaccina- tion theory of Jenner. This doubt has been inspired by the rarity of the disease as compar~ ed with other afflictions known to man; hundreds of doctors have never seen a case 0f either real or siin'ulatâ€" ed hydrophobia, and the veteran Dr. William Osler of the medical departâ€" ment of Johns Hopkins University has seen only two 1eal cases. Yet every 0110 has been made familiar with the awfulness of the disease, while its source as popularly ac- counted‘ for and some of the absurdi- ties of its t1'eat11'10nt in years past have cast much doubt upon the whole condition. surnns'rrrrons ‘11s 'ro CAUSE. Superstition once‘ laid the cause of the disease in dogs and w0'l30s to the bite 0f the ordinary skunk, 1'0- gai'dless of whethe1 the skunk was affected by 1abies 01 not The “ma'dst-one" the t some hunter had taken from the stomach of .1 deer, long before, was an object of~v0ner- ation an'd' awe over half a state. Stories of how the stone would cling to the wound made by a dog's teeth if the animal were mad, and how it, would stick to the ‘wound till it was full of the virus, were to be- read of nearly every week in state papers. Milk was the one agent to take this g1e'1n viius from the stone, af- tel‘ which the stone 111igl1t be ap- plied again and again until the sys- tem was free of the poison. Fur- ther, there was the current. belief that if a dog, not mad at the time, should bite a person and afterward become the ,3‘ictin1 of hy'd'rophobia from any cause, the person bit even years before would succumb to the disease, Separating superstition and folk lore from the truth, the medical fra- ternity has established the fact of rabies, or hydrophobia, in dogs and in- other of the lower animals, and it has been made certain that the disease is transmissable to man from the bite of any one of these af~ fected animals. It is needless to say, however, that the theory of the mails-tone has been repudiated; also it is an absurdity that any after condition of a dog that has bitten a person can affect the condition of its victim beyond the first results of the bite; and as ‘for rabies being inl'er- ent in the bite of the skunk, that, too, has been marked for dissolu- tion. ~RABIES AMONG SKUNKS . But that there are rabid skunks is a fact not to be doubted, and, 1'0- portin-g .- to the Medical Record a number of years ago 011 the epidemic of skunk rabies in Texas, Dr. John H. Janeway of~th0= United States army even went so far as to admit the possibility of the bite of a rabid skunk being more deadly than the bite of a labi'd dog. 1n that year of hydrophobia. among the skunk family of Texas D1.

It is a well authenti- I‘ c-ated fact that rabid skunks are en- tirely free from the odor so char- acteris-tic of these animals, which could not occur if the secretions were not exhausted; and, forgetting its normal tirni'dity, it will attack any person 0r animal it may come in contact with, biting the most 6X- posed portions of the bo'dy â€" the nose. the lobe of the ear, the thumb, or the fingers. I-lere is probably the reason why these bites of the rabid' skunk_ are 111010 fatal than are the bites of other rabid animals; they are always i1'- a v0 scular pa1t not protected by clothing, which pre- vents infection at times by wiping away the poisonous saliva from the bile of the mad dog or the mad wolf.” 1\l.ADSTONE IS A MYTH.

I-Iow the Eskimos Treated a Ship- wrecked C1ew Late. in the year 1866 the ship Japan, under command of Captain Barker, while trying to make her .1 way out of the Arctic Ocean, during I a severe snowstorm and gale, was driven ashore on the north side of Cape East. The officers unrl crew were rescued by the coast Eskimos, who at once ‘distributed the ship- wrecked persons aniong the villages along the coast, and kindly shared with them, during the long winter, their huts, clothing and food. In describing the good qualities oi these people, Mr. Middleton Smith, tells, in “Superstitions of the Eski- mo,” what this generous‘treatment meant ,in ‘the way of self-sacrifice among the Eskimos. As the ‘summer of 1860 hail not been favorable for the capture of the walrus, and the ice dining tie winâ€" te1 had hin'd 010d the to ..iug oi seal, the food supply 0f these people was unusually small, and to take -ure o and feed a whole shipwrecked creu .- of thirty-two 111011, at a time when ,1 - they could scarcely obtain provisions. ' sufficient for their own families, was a heavy task. When probable star- vation stared them in the fate, a l l council of the little settlements was ' called i0 s00 whether they should endeavor to keep these strangers through the winter, or simply to save their own people. It was decided by this council that v as the strangers were thrown, by no ' fault of their own, upon their shores and, as it were, placed under their care, they should have 111'. equal chance for life with tl101'nsclvcs. ' Captain Barker, of the Japan, tes- tifies that the Eskimo 310111011, in an- po1tioning the food among his men fiequently shed t0a1s 0.11 account of the smallness of the amount, and 0f- ten would increase the quantity by adding portions of their own shares. All through the long Arctic winter the strangers, who were so helpless and entirely dependent upon these people for the food, clothing and shelter which should enable them to survive the Arctic frosts, were giv- en the best food that was to be had, and the largest share. Those of the crew who were assigned to distant villages also testify to having been treat-0d with tl'e utmost kindness and consideration. ‘Captain Barker did not learn until the plenty of the following spring n1..de fu1'the1 fear unnecessary that tl101e had been any ('01:,111ril 01 any questibn among the 1' sl imos in 1'0- fiawéiifi 4 z...- 1 1\".W.i, gal d to supporting him an'd his crew through the “inter. _____.__.5,._..
