Because If I satisfy my modest hunger at a hotel there Is not a man ln the room who Is not eating at my cost. Two shillings' worth of cold beef Is eaten, sixpenny worth by me and eight een penny worth by h!ra, and we each pay a shilling. When I meet some grenadier of a wo man on my dressraaker'a atalrcase I know that whole yards of her dress are down on ray bill. Her gloves and her boots cost her no more than mine cost toe. An overgrown creature sits In front cr me at the theater. He sees the piece, and I see him. And we pay the same. It la a great Injustice. In the day of Hied prices it li well to be big. The necessaries of life are pooled and tho Value averaged per head of the popula tion. Lady Thed In "Helen of Troy. N, Y." owsht aa Food. II la a Tolerably Km peaalTV l.axary. Bought as food, water Is a tolerably txixMislre luxury. In several Instance It costs something like ?2.50 a glass, ac cording to the estimates of H. J. Holmes In reamou'. Let us begin with breakfast Look at that loaf of bread. To all appearance it la solid enough. But it Is not When lt rame into the hands of tho baker as wheat flour lt contained water only to the extent of 17 per cent In working up the materials into dough, by kneading and other manlpu latlon and In baking a great change takes place, and the quantity of water baa more than doubled. The wheat flour loaf contains nearly 40 per cent of water. Curiously enough, its value as a food Is Increased thereby. Tho per centage of water in the crust la about half that in the soft Inside. "Cured" pork dies not contain a large proportion of ver. In fact. wherever there Is a good deal of fatty matter there Is also a scarcity of mois ture. So the man who enjoys his sllee of breakfast bacon, may comfort him self with the reflection that he is get ting fairly solid value for his money, because bacon contains only 22 per cent of water. Fresh eggs, on the other hand, are composed of no less than 63 per cent of water. Tho best dairy made butter, no mat ter how carefully prepared, contains a comparatively large percentage of wa ter. Out of 1,500 samples of butter ex amined by well known authorities a small number contained over 10 per cent of water. The larger number con tamed between 11 and 13 per cent Carelessly manufactured or adulter ated butter often contains much more water than Is permissible by law, and the breakfast table may include a surw ply ofTutter containing as much as 'JO per cent of water. It is only to be expected that milk. owing to Its origin, should vary consld erably in its composition. Much de pends on the health and surroundings of the animal yielding lt It la Interesting to know that morn ing milk as it comes from the cow la by no means as nourishing as the even ing supply. There la more water In the former. The daily nuart of milk, even in its purest state, coutains an average of 87.6 per eeut of water. The choicest fish contains the largest percentage of water. Thus turbot ami sole are credited with "3 per cent salmon 75 per cent, while the common er Inhabitants of the deep blue sea are content with from 40 to CO per cent, as ln the case of the homely herring. "As cool as a cucumber" la a house hold term. The coolness is easily ex plained. Cucumbers are almost entire ly composed of water that Is, 95 per cent, or over 7.4 per cent more than Is contained ln milk, which Is Itself a Uq nld. Lettuce must not be forgotten. Here is a further Instance of bow little substance may be In an apparent solid, for the cabbage lettuce holds 92 per cent of water. It will be seen that most of the good things of life are largely composed of water, but it Is better for us that this 1s o. Nature knows more about our di gestive powers than we know oi;r selves, and she has designed her pr.nl ucts fish, flesh, fowl and fruit with so cunning a band that the water co:i tained la each is essential. Food containing very little water l:i its composition is not, as a rule, gio ! to cut uutll a suitable process of cooking has rendered It safe by adding n fur iher supply of water to It, and boiiiu,,', as Is well known, is the process tha; renders our food mast wholesome am' easy of digestion.
