Delaware. Of these 42 are Republicans
89 Democrats, and 6 Populists. Tbe new
Senator from Delaware will be a Republican.
It will require 45 to make a
majority. Tbe six Populists united
with the itepublloans to organize the
committees. That left the Democrats
in the minority. The committee on
Finance is the most Important and it is
composed of 18 members, instead of 11
as heretofore. Its Chairman is Mr.
Morrill of Vermont, and his Republican
colleagues are Messrs. Sherman, Allison,
Aldrich, Piatt, and Wolcott. The
Democratic Senators are Messrs. Voorlieos,
Harris, Vest, Jones of Arkansas,
Walthall, and White, and the Populist
member is Mr. Jones of Nevada. Tbe

/"Irs. Rorer on Diet.
Mrs. Rorer Is a die' inguished teacher
of cooking. She gave lessons in New
York last summer. 8he went, to Philadelphia
and the Ledger makes the following
report of her talk:
"To eat pickleB is to show a lack of
education," rait Mrs Rorer, in the
course of a lecture. 4 Plenty of phosphorus
throws light upon the brain,
Cooked apples are more easily digested
than raw, but are not so valuable from
a health standpoint. The sugar of
nature is in fruit; man's sugar will
create more destruction than a maddog.
Oatmeal Is a valuable food if
cooked for three hours and well masticated.
All starchy foods must be cooked
for hours. Buckwheat cakes are an
abomination uoto the Lord. Cabbage
and onioDS if riglit'y cooked have no
odor. When there is odor they are ruined
as food. To cook them rightly put
them in water that is boiling hot, then
keep it almost to the boiling point.
Will cook in less time in water at 200
degrees than at 240."
14 r. Atkinson said the ladies sitting
about him claimed that she (Mrs,
Rorer) was largely responsible for the
indigestible things they put on their
tables, as they all kept house by her
^>~kbook. "Yes," answered Mrs Rorer,
"I know it: but I wouhl'nt eat the
things in that book for all the money
there is in the country." Asked what
she did eat, she said for breakfast she
had wheat grits and cream, a broiled
chop, shredded wheat biscuit, and coffee
without milk or sugar. For lunch
a Welch rabbit and fruit. For dinner
a lizht, soun. meat, and two vegetables
one to be green and sorved with a little
oil and lemon juce, a wafer, aAd cheese.
She did all her own oookiug, never
gave over an hour to preparing amenl,
and never in her family made any
special preparation for any one.
