WHAT TO EAT, FOR MAY. 



Waldon Fawcett's article on "Mod- 

 ern Dining Cars" is a splendid resume 

 of the working of the system of which 

 travelers are fed. The hand of Mrs. 

 Carrie Nation is an interesting study 

 in Nellie Simmons Meier's "Practical 

 Talks on Palmistry." "The Club Wo- 

 man and Her Toast'' by Laura A. 

 Smith, together with the collection of 

 "Famous Toasts" are articles of wide- 

 spread interest. W. D. Nesbit, the hu- 

 morist, has an original poem "Adulter- 

 ation's Limit" and hereafter will con- 

 tribute original after-dinner stories. 

 The editorials consider "Vegetarians 

 vs. Meat Eaters," "Facts About Adul- 

 teration," "Harmony and Gastronomy 

 and "Chew Slowly." "The Youngster" 

 is a charming story of art student Hie 

 in Paris, by Kilbourne Cowles. The 

 magazine has the usual number of orig- 

 inal entertainments, practical recipes 

 and miscellany. 



The association is prospering finely, 

 new members are enrolled daily, and 

 shipments of honey are sent abroad by 

 every steamer. On Thursday 70 bar- 

 rels went and for the next steamer it 

 is expected that not less than 100 bar- 

 rels will be ready. — Jamaica Times,
