Why are Late Suppers Ipjurlousi

Some say late suppers are not injurious.
They reason on this wise:
Animals, when full fed, 60 to sleep, and
they tell us of the experiment which the
psychologists tried upon two dogs. Both
were full fed. One was allowed to 60 to
sleep. The other was compelled to move
about rapidly. At the expiration of two
hours, both were killed. In the stomach
of the one that slept the food was found
nearly all digested. In the stomach OF
the other it had scarcely begun to digest.
The argument, therefore, was, that food
digests the most rapidly when we are
asleep.
Still, we believe late suppers are inju-
rious, and for the following reasons:
1. We never sleep well when we eat a
late supper. This Is an aryumsntum Gd
homintlna, from experience.
2. A larger number of men that eat late
suppers die suddenly, than of those who
do not. This may be called begging the
question but facts prove it. Many OF our
politicians, who are almost compelled to
take late suppers, have died suddenly.
Witness our late Governor Andrew, and
the Hon. Mr.. Pond, President of the Sem
ate; and this without any moral delin-
quency. We once said to a hale clergy
man, past the meridian of life, who was
taking hearty supper, at q late hour, of
roast beef and mince pie, Doctor, do ypu
dare to eat heartily at this late hour !
He replied, ooh, my food never hurts
me-" In a few weeks his sudden death
was reported.
8. There are physiological reasons for
late suppers being injurious. It takes
food usually three hours to be digestdd,
and some kinds six hours. As the process
proceeds, more blood flows to the stoma.
than when it is empty. This, Of cour
creates greater action and as
old theories of digestion, such as tritus
ton and decay, were completely explod.
by the observations of DR.. BeaumoL
who had the privilege of looking into II
stomach OF Alexis st. Martin, and seeirl
his food as it was dissolped by the gastr
juice, and as this juice was not pourt
out 80 freely when he was asleep, this
a reason why food taken so late at nigI .
should not be digested 80 readily as wht
taken at other times.
4. Others tell us that food taken late [
night does not settle down so complete,
upon the inner coat of the stomach
that taken earlier.
5. Every body knows that late suppe (
are injurious, whether we can give o
the aolys or not.-G0od Health.

make butter profitable, great care must be
exercised in milking the cows. To milk
clean is important. 1t not only adds to
the quantity of butter, but saves the COW
from positive injury. Let farmer or his
dairy get the name Of keeping good ar
ticle Of butter in every respect, and he
will find it not only to pay, but pay well,

Roast Pork.-Take a nice middle
piece of young pork, separate the joints,
and crack the bones across the middle, but
do not break the skin; score it parallel
with the ribs, wash it, put it on the spit,
with little water in the bottom OF the
rooster, and to FIVE pounds of pork rub in
well two teaspoonfuls of sage and one of
cayenne pepper. Put no -four on 1t, nor
haste it while cooking, as it softeDs the
skin and makes it tough. Pour the gravy
into a pan, skim off part of the fat, stir
in flour mixed with cold water, add
some water, and let it boil once, theE
serve 1t in gravy turecn. II 1t should
not be sufficiently seasoned, add little
more pepper and salt, as it may require.
Apple sauce is always served with roast.
How to Keep Cider Sweet.-Put the
cider, fresh from the press, into large
kettles copper or brass are best, as iron
will color the cider; boil and skim until
all the small pomace or other impurities
have been thrown of. Have ready clean,
tight barrels, kegs or other vessels that
can be sealed alright pour the cider into
the vessels boiling hot, seal it up at once,
and place it where you design having it
! remain, before it cools In this way /
have kept cider just as sweet and nice as
it was when running from the press, for
two years, and know no reason why il
should not keep for many years if careful
ly sealed. We have followed this process
every year for more than twenty years
have frequently used the same barrel for
several years, by scalding the inside, put
ting little soda or other alkai in the
water. We have often used q decoction
of tea made of boiling sassafras roots, and
rinsing the barrel with it. This gives the
cider pleasant odor and flavor, and
many prefer it.-Correspondence Country

TIE UHLANs. The Uhlans, who are
creating SO much alarm in France by their
raids upon towns and villages. far ahead
of the line of march of the Prussian army,
also give rise to perplexing reports as to
the position of the German forces. The
Uhlans are light cavalry, of Aslatic origin,
and were introduced into the north of
Europe along with the colonies of Tatars,
who established themselves 10 Poland and
Lithaania The name is derived from a
Tartar word signifying brave They are
mounted on light, active horses, and are
armed with sabre, lance, and latterly with
carbines. The lance, from six to seven
feet long, it attached to a stout leather
cord fastened to the left shoulder, and
passed AROUND behind she right arm
Immediately below the point of the lance
is attached strip of gaudy-colored
cloth, designed by its Tutoring to fright
en- the eneIy's horses. The early dress
was Turkish. and the regiment or 'polks'
were distinguished from each other by
red, green, blue and yellow uniforms. =
The Austrians and Prussians first borrow
ed this kind of light cavalry from the
Poles, and in 1874 Marshal SAKE attempt
ed to introduce the Uhlans into the
French service. and polk of 1000
men was organized, but it was disbanded
after the Marshal's death. Russia,
Prussia and Austria are the only
Governments maintaining Uhlan reg
iments, which are recruited from Western
Russia, Poandd and Galicia.

and was struggling, manfully but doubt
fully, against an inclination, well-uigh ir-

from the Captain caused him to turn his

French Revolutions.

Within the last seventy-fvo year s.,
France has been three times ssrepubl ic
three times an imperial monarchy under
Bonapartes, three times Bourbon king
dom. once constitutional monarchy I'M
der Louis Philippe, and once military
dictatorship under Cavaignac. But even
that statement does not show all the
changes in the form of government with
in the period named The first Napole-
on was Consul for term of years, then
Consul for life, then Emperor. Louis
Napoleon was FIRST President, then Presi-
dent for ten years, then President for
life, then for Emperor. Of all these va
rious forms of government the republics,
have becn the shortest lived, with the
single exception of the hundred days.
Of the first Napoleon, from March to
June, 1915. The duration of the rule of
Louis Napoleon from 1948 to 1870, as
President and Emperor, was the longest
of all; and next to that was the reign Of
the constitutional king" Louis Philippe
from 1880 to 1S4S. OF those who we're
sovereigns for life, OR who have held ex-'
ecutivo power for specified term of years
in France, from the days Of Louis XIV.
down to the present time, only one man,
Louis XVIII, reached the end of his
term. Louis XVI. died on the scaffold !;
his republican" successors wer either
guillontined or assassinated : the first
Consul declared himself Emperor and
then died an exile; Louis Philippe was
dethroned by the revolution of 1913, and
ended his career as an exile the pro-
visional republic Of Lamartine, which sue
ceeded him, was short-liyed failure,
succeeded by the Military Dictatorship Of
Cavaignac then came the Presidency
of Louis Napoleon, which was ended by
his coup d'etat of December, 1851, to be
followed by the Empire" in December,
1852, and this, after lapse of eighteen
years, is followed by captivity, dethrone-
ment and exile in 1870.

Description of Metz.

Metz is the centre of the triple range o.
fortrcsses with which the celebrated Vau-
ban, the architect of Louis XIV, attemp-
ted to defend France against Germany
from the north and the east. Rouno
these frontiers he constructed no less thar
eighty eight fortresses, of which Valinci-
ennes in the north and Metz in the eas
are the strongest AS said before, Metz
lies in the center Of the triple range, hav.
ing an advanced post Thionviiie, and IL
the rear Nancy. The Moselle here is still
very small, and scarcely practicable fol-
small steamers, that 60 down with the
current to Thionville, Sierck aud Treves
At Coblentz it flows right through the
city one part of the river is still water
Metz is very irregularly built, has a
population of about 1000, and some
thing like %, 900 men garrison 1t is
surrounded by three walls, forming two
bitches, which are about eighty feet deep,
and being connected with the river, may
be inundated at FIVE minutes notice. On
each side Of the place is situated kind Of
natural fort called on the right side of the
river. the Fort Belle Croiz, and on the
left side of the river Mount St. Quentin.
On the top Of this latter, commanding a
view of about enty-6vc miles, is an
optical telegraph, the signals CT which
may be seen from the Cathedral of Metz.
The cheuaun de fise, Or foss QUO loups,
consist in deep bitches, filed up with
bayonets, swords, shells, grcnades, &C.,
which are covered with the ground SO
carefully that the most practiced eye is
scarcely able to detect them.
All the buildings outside the place are
wooden frame work. so that they can be
DESTROYED at moments warning. The
Belle Croix is completely undermined,
and the mines arc connected with the
Arsenal, so that they can be blown up
from this latter place. The Porte des
Alleman,ls' is historically curious place,
and the ouly remainder of the old for
tress as it had been constructed by the
Dukes of Lorraine This gate was assault
ted, in 1915, by Charles V. Emperor of
Germany and King of Spain, but the
Emperor, victorious on all other points,
was defeated on this by his eternal enemy
Francis of France.
