We uvc told that the appellation it bears, an ilaliciKed CJrec-k name, implies happi ness. Practically the name ".Macclie roni," Is derived Irom "Sinecure," to crush. The tin re principal varieties are known us macaroni laro cylinders; spaghetti, the smaller tubn; and vermi celli, the very line, rout-Ilk" variety. When the paste is made Into fancy shape?, it is called pasta d'ltulln, anil theso pastes, large and small, are pro duced in great quantities. The tubular pastes denote the Italian 01 Iglr. of this clas.-t. Tiie Introduction of macaroni at: common tood in America did not meet with remarkable success until it lias' unite recently bi-en discovered that the Unlu'd St'itts grows a wheal quite us rich In. the clement, i. e., Kluten, needed for iiinMinr superior grades of macaroni, as i an be produced from the far-famed Italian varieties of the gialn. Ti Hh tu tell, for yeais before tho fact bfc.inie known, tills country inunufnc-tur- 1 a very considerable amount of niu'-'ir.iiii fur the Italian markets as veil as lor home t utile. Xnnu but Mm cnminiiiur varieties of these found their win' iu'o the average American .hiuiseh'jlil, it'al uufoitnnatoly. for the home prodiji , i;iv u.o ufl-n rendered impalatabl.. and uscle-s by indifferent cooking. ovilig to an existing prejudice for mipiuvpi' I'nrcisiii good.', ft or the Annririiti pastiv were allowed to be sold at- sttcli, but sportei' brilliant ami f.ipilful label? or supposedly Italian and French origin. Tills was not a laitse for regret when the labels cov er, d IntVilor goods, but too frequently llv poorer grades were branded purely -ircrlcnn and pu. up for home nuirket only, the Une.st being sent over to Hu lope In eseliange for a still Interior va riety made in Italy and France; tluiK the careless, good-natured, unusupeet htff Auierican getting nut only a poor, valueless product troni both sources but In inoKt of the imported kinds, mtultorated and unclean goods. Many of ilm Italian macaroni are, during the drying process, when tho greatest euro should lie observed to avoid such dan ger, exposed to dust and odors of ev ery kind, and as they are not always inado In tlm best parts of the cities nnd under the best sanltaty conditions, one . can readily see that they might hu , mndo agents to curry disease over an , Immense terrltoiy. ' The quallly of Hour selected for niuU- I us the. best macaroni is of tho same port as used for making the best bread, ' and from n whe.it grain rich In gluten. From tins high qrude. Hour Is eliminat ed n greater part of the starch, and for tills reason IV must bo higher In price. Good macaroni cannot be successfully - made from a atnrchy Hour because ' when poor in gluten, It breaks easily when cooking, or else becomes a 'pasty and cohesive mass, presenting an unat tractive appearance.

Tho Food Value of Macaroni. Alacarotil Is a comparatively rich nitrogenous food, and may also be considered 'its it heat producer, and an economical food as well. The latter as sertion can be proven by Hklllful cook ing, which will swell It to almost three times Its original bulk. Properly treated It Is very suitable and digestible for adults and children having weak digestion, when it Is served ulono; but it does not contain the amount of muscle-making fond re quired by the man who labors physic ally, it' served without cheese or eggs. Put with the addition of these It makes a very substantial nutrient, and should not accompany a meat dish. Its nourishing qualities, its chenp ncH.vthe many nnd convenient ways In which It may bo prepared and made to serve as an agreeable and suitable substitute for meats should recom mend It to every American housewife, especially to those who must look well to expenditures. American Macaroni. Admitting that there aro certain home manufacturers or this product, who are producing an article in no wise superior to the lowest, grade and most uncleanly foreign goods sent here, we have the satisfaction of knowing that we have grades of American ma caroni now on the market, undisguised by foreign label?, that aro in every way equal In quality to tho best for eign makes and ha o the advantage over them in tho method of drying. In the best Auierican macaroni factories the pastes are dried in an atmosphere perfectly free from dust nnd microbes; w'tllo the mildness of the climate in the macaroni producing- cities abroad al lows the manufacturers to dry it in the open air and sunshine (?), a process which may give a whiter paste than our native kinds, but one that permits easy access of dust of the streets and objectionable odors and microbes to the pastes. This Is a point that rounts with the progressive American house wife. Imagine these pastes made and dri.il, us some actually are, in the at mosphere of some of our smoke-be-vrlmed, b"fogged, windy and microbe breeding cities of America; and in such localities as are In the worst possible sanltnry conditions. With humanltj at war with the disease microbe, It is well to know the best points of attack on such an enemy. Therefore inform yourselves as to the source of your manufactured foods In fact all foods thar may In any way be contaminated or affected, and choose quality alone, even If you must be more frugal In or der to obtain the best. Cooking; Macaroni. The very best macaroni may be spoiled by tho careless manner in which it Is prepared for the table. Honking, careless washing or putting it into cold writer to cook, or not allowing a sttni-cic-nt amount of water to keep the pipes separate so they can swell and come out clean and free from starchy paste; all these will operate against success in cooking macaroni. Tho method is so simply and easy, a child I'.iay successfully accomplish the work. Plunge tho macaroni Into boiling water enough to keep the pieces well sepa-iati'd-hiLV( the water salted, and keep I' liolllnr. rapidly until the paste is lender, from twenty to thirty minutes. I.'y tins time the tubes should be at least double their sl'e before cooking. Tm n the mncarotil into a colander to drum off the water and then Inuuedl uli'ly plunge colander into a pan of odd water or let cold water run over the paste a few seconds to prevent Its breaking or slicking together. It may then be dressed for the table in a hun dred different ways, all delicious, nour ishing, cheap and for the most part very simple. The various forms of pastes can be used In either clear soups, or combination broths, the particular form of the macaroni giving name to the soup, t'heese, eggs, milk, and to matoes all have especlaly nihility for this food preparation. All soups, tlm briles, croquettes, dishes uu grntln, etc., should bo accompanied by cheese, Par mesan preferred. "When tho macaroni dish Is covered with grating of cheese and browned In tho oven, the coloring must be done to an exact nicety. If the limit Is overstepped and the cheese too deeply browned, and a bitter unsa vory taste assumed, it Is repellent to the gustatory nerves, and the value of the dish is destroyed, AVhon macaroni Is added to soups It should flrt be boiled In salted water until fully expanded, no longer, then drained and finished In the broth, Stewed Macaroni.

His Home, His Politics nnd Literary Attainments. The bcit elnps of miners In Pennsyl vania to-day are the Welsh miners. They are not collogo graduate!", but aro men of literary lmblls and rohd of home and children.' It Is very seldom yott will meet with one who does not know and tindcr hIiiihIs Homothlng about geology, history, theology nnd music, lie Is lu general easily In advance of other mining nation utilic.t In education unit .general Informa tion. The majority' of them can read ami write lu both the Bngllsh and WoMi lan guages and urn full of Christian feeling, and lovo Clod and humanity. Their homes are not an almnsphero of coldness dark, yellow Xpiv York newspaper world, dismal, dirty and cheerless os one of our have, the people believe, but bright, warm, cheerful, comfortable, happy, neat and attractive Christian homes whole 'rather and mother work In sweet ncconl together for the welfare of their chil dren and ouch other. If you doubt It, jint give them a visit yourself. They tiro open ror Inspection to all, Tho mother Is tho leading spirit In the Welsh miner's homo. She looks orter nil the Innumarabto household duties; also after tho welfare of her boys and girls, and It Is generally her moral and spiritual Influence that directs, guides and con trols to it great extent the future wel fare of the family. She I the queen around whom gravitate the happiness and sociability of her children; through her kindness and gentle touch und Inlliiences, also, tho father Is drawn Into closer re lations wllh his family circle, und mutual sympathy pervades tho whole family. It Is very seldom you see Welsh miners' homes without some gamesor amuse ments, such as tho piano, organ, violin or some other musical Instrument, and one of the most striking things to me is thot yott will linrdly over come across one lu bis household who cannot play, slug and road music. Furthermore In tho ma jority of tho Welsh miners' homes you will ilnd plenty of papers, good book's and literature, and, I am glad to proclaim to tho public, tho greatest of all books In hfo homo is tho precious Bible, from which they draw it great deal ol' sweet ness, strength, hope and comfort In their dark hours of grler, sorrow and trials In this lire. It Is not an uncommon thing ror a stranger who visits a Welsh miner's home to see graceful pictures hanging on the walls with Scriptural and Biblical mot loos lu largo letters: "The I,ord Is jr.v Refuge and Strength," "The J.nrrt Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want," etc. Thcro are pictures on tho walls of every room, not uxpcuslvo ones, either, but pictures which mean and tell something land scapes, pictures of Christ and salut; his torical scenes and family portraits. These are the homes of tho AVelsh miner. Politically, mostly all tho Welsh miners aro thorough liberals In their views. Thoy hcllcvo In the welfare of mankind. Irrespective of color, privilege, position or power. They believe in the liberty of thought, librty of speech, and liberty of action. They believe that the spiritual law of God controls the mind, tho affec tion, tho desires, tho will; and that, man's spiritual comfort and welfare are thus at tained and thus alone. They also believe that to deprive man of moral government would make him a. captive without a ray of hope a machine without lift- it pillar of lee. The great de-Ire of the Welsh miner Is toward progress and reform. I hope the day will come when both father and mother will endeavor morn faithfully In tho future than In tho past, to give, their sons a, thorough education that will land them out or tho dangers of the coal mine. DANIKfi K. GRKUOHY. THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE LABORATORY IN THE WORLD. 1,000 MILES OF COLLARS. That Many Produced Every Year in Factories of Troy. From Leslie's Weekly. If all of the collars and cuffs made in a. year In Troy, N. Y., wero placed In a shigln line, end to end, that line would bo more than a thousand miles long. It would extend from Xew York City to Chicago with several miles to spare. Ninety-five, per cent, of all the collars manufactured In tho United States aro produced In Xew York Stale, and S." per cent, of tho entire country's product comes front Troy. That an Industry of this mag"ltudo and one whoso product Is of such general uso should be concentrat ed In a city of ",,003 Inhabitants Is per haps tho most Interesting Industrial phe nomenon hi tho country. From It arises a variety of unique conditions. Troy Is called "the collar city" of the world. Hero tho very llrsl collar de tached from tho shirt and bearing it sem blance to that article of apparel as it is known to-day was made; and since that time, seventy-live years ago tho industry has increased, with Troy always in Its centre, until now collar-manufacturing Involves twenty million dollars annually und gives employment to nearly IS.COO persons, whose wages amount in the ag gregate to betWi'cu eight and nine mil lion dollai'j. Although the factories which construct these finishing touches of a man's attire are In some instances immense plants employing thousand.! of people grout, buzzing nests of activity a largo and Im portant part of tho work is dimo by wo men In their homes. For this is distinc tively a woman's work, and while lu the city of Troy the great factories aro hum ming, through all Mm country round, in tho farm-houses and villages within a radius of fifty miles, the women sitting In their homes nro hoping to make the collars or tho United States. It Is the kill or these women as well as thosn who are employed within tho factories that enables thirty manufacturers In and near Troy to turn out complete every year nbou. a),000,(HW collars, cuffs and shirts; and It Is these same women hi the binall houses of the city, In tho villages round about, and on tho farms, that make It Impossible for this Industry in live else where. .

Address Tho Natural Food Co, XlAOAUA F.MtS, N.V. n)t y ir I ii I ii hi THE NEW FIBE-PHOOF SWAMP-ROOT LABORATORY, NOW NEARING- COMPLETION. (Sketched Kxpressly for The Tribune.) Blngliainlon. N. Y., Dec. S. Whoever goes to Uliighaiinon, ,ns I did, will' Ilnd a much alive, brisk city, with beautiful, wide, usphullcd .streets and charming residential sections. Its business! streets are decked with handsome business buildings and public Institutions, but none of them can compare In magni tude and beauty with the now Swampy Root Laboratory now Hearing comple tion. This tall, towering building is the first object that confronts tho eye upon alighting from the train at the railway stations. The building Itself Is remarkable, be cause, when finished it will bo tho finest, most scientifically built, and best equipped medical laboratory on earth. It was the pleasure of Tho Tribune to send a representative to inspect this building, and from the standpoint of an architect, scientist and searcher af ter the beautiful, I can say, with warmth, that tho trip from Scranton was well worth while. Hundreds upon hundreds of the readers of The Tribune owe their re stored health, and the restored health of their friends, to Swamp-Koot, the grent kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and I am sure they will bo Interested in my brief description and the photo graph of the new laboratory, where, beginning with the new year, Swump lUooL will be compounded. The magnitude of the building Is not 'nil. Jt will stand for centuries. It has ( the Ilnest of modern steel construction, wttu uro-iiroot masonry and cement arches, not a piece of wood Is used in Its structure. It Is situated on the most central nnd commanding site hi the city, nnd hns a frontage of 231 feet, on Lewis Street, IMS feet on Chenango Street and -107 feet on Lackawanna avenue; it's floor space amounts to the astonishing area of four and onc-luilf 1 acres, und is to bo devoted exclusively I to tho Swamp-Uoot business. Tho building is eight stories high, ' built of steel, granite and light colored brick, and its architecture is or the most pleasing style. As is the present Laboratory, so will the new one be equipped with the very latest scientific apparatus for the com pounding of Swamp-Uoot, the demand for which has so greatly Increased that the mammoth now laboratory became an absolute necessity. A convenient switch connecting with tho main lines of nil railroads entering the city runs direct to the doors of tho shipping department. After going through this new struc ture us well as the presq'nt Laboratory, the writer was surprised to sec the immense scale on which Swamp-Uoot Is prepared. But when an hour later, I sat In the ofllces of Dr. Kilmer & Co. and had tho pleasure of seeing many hundreds or the thousands of unsolicited testi monial letters, from all parts of the world letters written by grateful men and women cured by Swamp-Uoot, I thought these people did just as you and I would do. They sut down nnd wrote their thanks for' what Swamp Uoot had done for them and usked that their testimonials bo published in order that all might know of this won derful medical discovery. Having seen a little mountain of these letters, each bearing the Imprint of sincerity, no one would wonder that this business has increased as it has, and that the largest and finest labor atory in the world is needed nnd forth coming. If may be of Interest to our readers to know that they can obtain free by mall, a sample bottle of: ywamp-Uoot, by addressing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blng hamloii, N. Y.
