OUR STAPLE FOODS.
It Is Astenlshlng How CemparaalveJi
Fw Thay Are.
Certain great food ample bave prov
ed IhcmHclves within the age long ex
porlenre of buiunnlty to poscaa a tar
grr amount of nutritive value, digesti
bility and other good nualitea and a
smaller proportion of underatrable
properties than any others. Tbese,
through an exceedingly slow and
gradual proevss of tbe survival of tba
nitent. have come to form tbe staple
of food hi comiuou uso by tbe human
race all over tbe world. It U really
aatonlablng how comparatively few
there are of them when we com to
consider tbem broadly tbe flesh aad
tbe milk of three or four domesticated
animals, the flesb of three or four aad
tbe eggs of one species of domesticated
birds, three great (-rains, wheat, rice
andTmalxe. and a half dozen smaller
and much less frequent onea. a bun
drrd or ao aficclea of flsbea and abell
fish, two sugars, a dozen or ao starch
containing roots and tuber, only two
of which, tbe potato and the manioc,
ere of real luteraatlonal Importance
twenty or thirty frulta. forty or fifty
egetablea-mnke up two-third of the
food anpply of the Inhabitants of'thr
world.
Instead of wondering at tbe variety
and profnenc of the human food
aupply the bloIogUt la rather inclined
lo ejaculate with tbe London footman
Immortalized by John Leech, who.
when told by tbe cook that there wordd
be mutton chops for dinner and roast
beef for aupper, exclaimed: "Nothiak
but beef, mutton and pork pork, mut
ton and beef! Hln my opinion, hlfa
'tgh time aome new banlmal was hv
weatedr-McClare'a.
Rainy Day Place For the Children.
Ratsy daya often mean trouble la
tbe household where there are plenty
of children, and aome one baa aoggest
ed that tbe mother of each a brood
would do weU to provide herself with'
a rainy day cupboard.
To It will Snd tbelr way special play
thugs reserved for state occasions
pictures, acrapbooka, paate pots, sehv
sore, old magaxtnea and paint boxes
anything. In fact, that can provide la
door amusement. When tho rainy day
comes round tbe cupboard may ha
opened and a distribution of Its
made.
