The naviga tion act of 1661 was passed, the one durable monument of republican legis lation. By this famous measure goods were to be admitted into England only in English ships, or else In ships of the country to which the goods De longed. Whatever else came of It, the navigation act made a breach In the Dutch monopoly of the world's carry ing trade.. An unfriendly Holland teemed as direct a peril aa the enmity of France or Spain, and before long It was perceived how easily a combina tion between Holland and Denmark, by closing the gates of the Baltic, might exclude England from free access to tar, cordage, and the other prime requisites for building and rigging her ships. The blow at the Dutch trade monopoly was a fresh Irritant to Dutch pride, already embittered by the Eng lish claim to supremacr and Its out ward symbols In the narrow seas, as well as to a right of oelsure of the Its MILK AS DIET, Talaa aa Vm4 M Bka Cn&or- Cotn par atl rely few people are aware of the true value of milk as a eJienp article of loot. It being usually looked upon only as a beverage, or even a lux ury, without contributing much, it any thing, towards our actual support While milk la aa ideal food for the young, there are some objections to it, aa the sole diet for a working man, a proper understanding of which is nec essary before we oan appreciate its real value as an economical diet. In tho first place, being naturally a thin fluid containing a very large proportion of water. It does not "stay long," or satis fy the sense of hunger In a proper way. but when taken with solid food, bread for Instance, It becames a cheap and most nutritious diet. The keynote to economy Is sounded when we come to compare the coet of those elements of nutrition contained In milk, their cost In other animal foods. A practi cal test before us Illustrating its worth In reducing the cost of a dally ration comes from the State College of Maine, where trials were made with a large number of young men.

If the McKinley administration is supporting half as many true republican doctrines as Bryan and his supporters are advocating, here is a chance for you to make some money. Investigate this, and if you cannot make the cash balance show up in your favor, you will gain a store of knowledge which will be a guide for you in the coming election as to how a genuine republi can should vote who wishes his country to remoin a republic, and who would rather follow true republican doctrine than to follow the empty party name. You will find that William J. Bryan comes nearer to be ing a second Lincoln than any man who has lived since Lincoln's time. You will see that the same arguments that were used by King George to hold the revolutionary fathers in bondage are now being used by the McKinley administration to hold tne people of our island posses sions in bondage.

In summarizing a re port which comes from a dairy exhibit of London, England, we find that bread made with skim milk as a substitnte for water was richer in the elements of nutrition aocording to chemical an alysis; that it had a better appearance and taste than ordinary water bread, also that It retained its moisture longer and was easier of digestion. It also stated that the natural sugar of the milk caramels in baking and browned the crust. In the free use of milk as a diet It should not be forgotten that It does not agree with some people; though the same may be said of eggs. or perhaps any other article of food verily "one man's meat ia another man's poison." 6INQINO INSECTS. int CONGRESSIONAL.
