Good Kraalta Noted in CStlea Wbore
Meals Are Koroisfced. Sggg
In Berlin tha firing of free break
fasts baa brought the happiest re
sults, says Robert l> >nter In the
Reader. Children who start from •
poverty itrlcken home hi the morn
ing without a sufficient, and oftea
without any, meal to sustain them,
cannot be expected >0 give their
minds to their studies In the eanie
degree aa the children whose bodies
are well cared for. A considerable
falling off waa consequently noticed
In the attendance of thu ill fed and
weaker children—tha very ones who
Could leaat afford to n*:-tect the stu
dlea required to lit them toearutheir
dally bread In sfter life—antll the
system was adopted tv the municipal
authorities of dlstrib Jlng food free
during the so-called TTfcaUfust hour
to these poor waifs.
In Chrlstlanln, Norway, the princi
pals of the schools report Unit "the
free board has had it good effect
upon a» they t:ile more
Interest In the work and i more
wideawake and lively; tlieit appear
ance also shows better health and
more strength." The repot t comes
from Havre that the free meals there
have been found to encourage school
attend).pee as well as to benefit the
chlidreii physically, mentally und
morally. The people of Brussels con
ceive it to be their duty to have
every school child medically exam
ined once every 10 dnj ; Its eyes,
teeth, ears and general physical con
dition are overhauled. If it looks
weak and puny they give It doses of
cod liver oil or some suitable tonic.
At midday It gets a square meal, and
tha greatest care Is taken to Bee that
no child goes 111-shoil. 111-clad or 111-
fed.
WHY OIL KILLS MOSyiTTOKS.
The Unas Can Not Ciet Act-ens to
the Outer Air.
"Mosquito lnrvas. or wiiggiera, as
they are termed, require water for
their development." says Henry
Beach Needham, In the County Cal
endar. "A heavy shower leaves
standing water, which, when the air
Is full of moisture, evaporates alow
ly. Then, too, the heat .favors tho
grow th of the micro-organisms on
which the larvas feed: wrigglers
found in the water forty-eight hours
after their formation will have plen
ty of food, and udult mosquitoes will
appeur six to eight days after the
eggs are laid. Clear weather, with
quick evaporation, Interferes with
the development of the wrigglers, so
that a season with plenty of rain,
but with sunshiny, di ving., weather
Intervening, is not good mosquito
weather.'
"Inasmuch as a generation of
mosquitoes appear to torment ituiii
within ten days, at the longest, after
the eggr are laid; as a hatch laid by
a female mosquito contains from two
hundred to four hundred i'tcs; us
from each egg may issue a larva or
wriggler which In six day* will he an
adult mosquito ou the wing- it Is to
the destruction of the larvas that at
tention should be directed. The lurvit
is a slender organism, white or gray
in color, comprising eight segments.
The last of them parts Is in the form
of a tube through which the wrig
gler breathes Although Its habitat
Is the water, It must come to the sur
face to breathe therefore Its nat
ural position Is Itettd down and tall,
or respiratory tube, up. Now, lr oil
Is spread on the surface of a pool In
habited by mosquito larvas,the wrig
glers are denied access to the air
which they mutt have Therefore,
they drown Just us any other ulr
breathlng animal would drown un
der similar circumstances."
Luxurious Itusslau IHnners.
With the Russians of the higher
class living Is an elahorate function.
When you are invited to diue with
a nobleman you Hr*t stroll to a side
board whereon aie anchovies, smoked
salmon, pickles, sardines, radishes,
cold sausage, caviar und olives.
The guests cat freely of these and
wash them down with fiery vodkl,
taking about an hour to do v it amid
animated conversation
Some of the appetizers you would
like. Salmon in Jelly, for instance,
is not bad But salmon in custard is
a little too much for the average
Yankee stomach.
The company takes seats at the
table and the real buslues9 of tbe
dlnnor begins First, there is a great
thick soup. Next comes a huge pike
or salinou, cooked to perfection uml
stuffed with cracked wheat.
After fish comes on a hugs loin of
roast pork, or nisybe veal; some
times besf, but not often—generally
it Is pork cooked in a mysterious way
wblch has added all sorts or strange
and pronounced flavors to It.
Roast or boiled fowl Is the next
cohrse, and with It comes pickled
cauliflower, gherkins und vegetables.
Then comes a cold pie of meat,
flsh and vegetables. This is cut Into
slices and served with mustard
dressing. After this you will, If you
have survived so far, be expected
to toy with a peculiar Russian sulad,
and to end up with a rich dessert
and black coffee.
After a Russian dinner one can
say with. particular fervor, "Fate
cannot harm me; I have dined."—
What to Eat.
The fact Is recalled for ihe bene
