" Science at Breakfast

Under this heading the editor of
Science groups together great deal of
information on the action of tea, coffee
and chocolate. The latter, he says,
from its large proportion of albumen, Is
the most nutritive beverage, but at the
same time, from its quantity of fat, the
most difficult to digest. Its aromatic
substances, however, strengthen the di-
gestion. A cup OF chocolate is an excel
lent restorative and invigorating refresh
ment even for weak persons, provided
the digestive organs are not too delicate
Cardinal Richelieu attributed to choco-
late his health and hilarity during his
later years.
Tea and coffee do not afford this adj
vantage. Albumen in tea leaves, and
legumin in coffee berries, are represent
ed in very scanty proportions. The
substances is, therefore, hardly war
ranted. Tea and coffee, though of
themselves not difficult of digestion,
tend to disturb the digestion of albumin
GUS substances by precipitating them
from their dissolved state. Milk, there
fore, if mixed with tea or coffee, is more
difficult of digestion than if taken alone,
and coffee alone without cream promotes
digestion after dinner by increasing the
secretion of the dissolving juices. The
volatile oil of coffee and the empyreu-
matte and aromatic matters of chocolate
accelerate the circulation, which, Oh the
other hand, is Gained by tea.
Tea and coffee both excite the activity
of the brain and nerves. Tea, it is said.
increases the power Of digesting the i'm
pressions we have received, creates a
thorough meditation, and, in spite of
the movements Of thought, permits the
attention to be fixed upon a certain OBJ
iect. On the other hand, if tea is taken
in excess, it causes an increased irrita-
bility Of the nerves, characterized by
sleeplessness with a general feeling OF
restIessness and trembling Of the limbs.
Coffee, also, if taken in excess, produces
sleeplessness and many baneful effects
very similar to those arising from tea
drinking. Coffee, however, produces
greater excitement, and sensation OF
restlessness and heat ensues. Fol-
throwing off this condition fresh air is
the best antidOte.

How Tooth.Brushes Are Made.

Although the toothbrush is not q
a very complicated article, no small de-
gree of skill is required in its manufact-
ure. In the first place, care must be
exercised in the selection of bone from
which the handle is to be made. For
this purpose the thigh bone of an OK is
used, and instead of boiling these with
the joints on-the method commonly in
vogue-these joints are sawed off pre-
vious to the boiling process. The in
creased heat necessary in the former
method renders the bone unfit for the
purpose of the brush manufacturer.
On arriving at the factory the bones
are first sawed into the required length
and thickness, for brrIsh-handles. They
are next turned with q model in a SINH
lar manner to that employed in the man
ufactrre of shoe-lasts. Then comes the
polishing process, which is done by
means of Il sort OF revolving churn.
An ingeniously-c machine now
takes the pieces and deity punctlres
holes for the bristles while grooves are
cut in the top by saws. Now being
ready for the bristles, they are intro
duced to the department for this work.
Girls are usually employed for this
branch of the business. After putting
in the bristles, they are backed with
sealing wax to fasten them securely in
place and to fill up the grooves. All
that remains to be done is to brand the
brushes and pack them for market

About Peanuts.

The modus operandi by which the
nuts are separated, cleaned and classed Is
somewhat as follows The third story of
the building contains thousands of bush
els OF peas In bags, and there the con-
tlnual roar of the machinery is deafen-
ing. Each machine has duty to per-
form. First, there is large cylinder in
which all the nuts are placed, in order
that the dust and dirt may be shaken off
them. They pass from the cylinder
INTO the brushes, where every nut re-
celves fifteen feet of a brushing before
1t becomes free. Then they pass through
sluiceway to the floor below, where
they are dropped ON an endless belt,
about two and one-half feet in width,
and dashing along at the rate Of
four miles an hour. On each side
OF the belt stand eight colored girls,
and, as the nuts fall from the sluice
on to the belt the girls, with quick
motion of the hand, pick out all the
poor-looking nuts, and by the time the
belt reaches the end two-thirds of the
nuts are picked off, allowing only the
finest to pass the crucible. Those that
do pass drop through another sluice and
wy oO o1So I'll oliC hoOA OOiO"'
When the bag is filled it is taken away
by hand, sewed up and branded as
cocks, with the figure of rooster
prominent on it's sides. The peas caught
up by the girls are then thrown to one
side, placed in the bags, and carried into
another room where they are again picked
over, the best singled out, bagged and
branded as "ships." These are as fine
a nut as the first for eating, but in shape
and color do not compare with the
cocks" Having gone over them twice,
we now come to a third grade, which
are called and branded as "eagles. J"
These are picked out of the cuttings of
the "cocks " and "ships, but now and
then you will find respectable-looking
nut among them, though the eyes of the
colored damsels are as keen as hawk,
and bad nut is rarely allowed to pass
their hands. The cuttings that are left
from the "eagles" are bagged, sent
through the elevator to the top story,
and what little meat is in them is shaken
out by patent shelter, which is not on
ly novel, but as perfect piece
Of machinery as was ever invented.
These nuts being shelled by this new
process, the meat drops into bags below
free from dust or dirt of any kind, and
are then shipped in 2O0-pound sacks to
the North, where they are bought up by
the confectioners for the purpose of MAX
ing tafy or peanut candy. 1t may be
here stated that peculiar kind of oil
is extracted from the meat of the nut,
and in this speciality large trade is done
among the wholesale druggists. There
is nothing wasted, for even the shells
are made useful. They are packed in
sacks and sold to stable-keepers for
horse-bedding, and a very healthy bed
they make.

Tower Of London.

The Tower Of London is Intimately
connected with the history of England.
It is the place where noted political and
religious persons have been tortured and
beheaded. It still contains some Of those
instruments of torture. The last time it
was used as states prison was III 1920.
It is also the place where the crown Jew
els are kept, which are valued at $12,-
100000. Among these is the celebrated
Koh-i-noor. Its earlyhistoryis unknown.
It was obtained from the Lahore Govern
ment by the conquests of the East India
Company, and arrived in England June
80, 1850, and July 3 was presented to
the Queen. The crown Of Victoria con-
tains one large broadcast sapphire, six
teen sapphires, eleven emeralds, four
rubies, 1853 brilliant diamonds, and
1,273 rose diamonds, lat table diamonds,
four drop-shaped pearls, and 273 pearls.
The prisoners confined in the Tower of
London sometimes made inscriptions
upon its dreary walls. The following is
one: "Be friend to one. Be ennemye
to none" A square frame contained the
following from the same hand, dated
Sept. 10, 1911:
The most unhappy
man IL the world is he
that is not paclent In adj
versities. For men are not
killed with the adversities
they have but with We impa-
cience which they suffer.

Sand in Sugar.

had read that sugar-reiners used
bullocks' blood to clarity the liquor, and
In my simplicity asked my friend where
was the bullocks' blood. He laughed
very heartily at my Ignorance, and told
me there had not been such q thing
used in Greenock since he had known
anything about the trade, now over
thirty years. What struck me- most was
the sand and mud that my friend showed
me had been taken out of the raw sugar
when l saw it filtered and I that day
registered VOW that I would never
again be tempted to buy "real raw
sugar for domestic use. I shudder as
l think of the quantity of mud that I
must have eaten in my time, and feel
annoyed at having been deluded into
paying penny pound more for the
"real raw sugar" than L could have
bought the pure refined article for. I
told my friend what was passing through
my mind, at which he again laughed,
and said Every one that comes to see
through the refinery says the same
thing. You sometimes hear grocers
charged with putting sand in their sugar.
They really do nothing of the sort. It
would not pay them to do so, even if
they had a mind. If the use of raw
sugar were given up by the public, we
would never again hear of such
az accusation against the poor
grocer" My friend, seeing the dis
gust [ had displayed at the sand and
mud, took me to the laboratory in con-
nection with the refinery, where he said
he would show me even worse than mud
in the raw sugar. He took small glass
vessel like tumbler, into which he put
about teaspoonful of "real raw sugar."

poured some water slightly heated over
it. In short time little specks appeared
on the surface, scarcely visible to the
naked eye, two or three of which he
placed under microscope and babe me
look through it. To my amazement I
saw little insects like lice crawling about.
l asked what they were, and was told
they were the Ac0rus socchar1, or raw
sugar mite, and that they abound in raw
sugar, more especially in the better de-
scriptions. asked if there were none
to be found in refined sugar, and my
friend said no; that they were all either
retained in the flter-bags or killed dur
ngthe boiling. Understand a celebrated
chemist has estimated that there will be
as many as 100000 of these creatures in
a pound of raw sugar. I learned that
there were about a dozen refneries at
work in Greenock, turning outabout $780,
900 to 300,0 tons of soft, refined sugar
per annum, being more than third of
all the sugar consumed in Great Britain.
Greenock has great natural advantages
for the refining of sugar, having excel
lent harbor accommodation, where the
largest vessels can discharge the raw
material, being near to the Lanarkshire
coal-fields, having an unlimited supply
of water at very cheap rate, and
plentiful supply of cheap labor. Cham

was, too, in former times, customary,
and the practice is not yet obsolete, to
provide large cheese and cake and cut
them at the birth of the child. These
were called the grooming cake and

the neighbors.
In Yorkshire this cake is termed the
''pepper cakes and in some localities
the sickening cake" It is the source
of species Of divination, for, being cut
into small pieces by the medical man, it
is divided among the unmarried of the
female sex, under the name of "dream-

Something About Babies.

According to a Yorkshire notion, a
newborn infant should be laid first in
the arms Of a maiden before any one
touches it and in some places the in
fant's right hand is left unwashed in or
der that he may gather riches. It is,
too, considered very important by many
that an infant should go up in the world
before it goes down. Thus, in Cleve-
land, says Mr.. Henderson, if child
should be born in the top story Of q
house, for want of q fight of stairs one
of the gossips will take it in her arms
and mount table, chair or chest OF
drawers before she carries it down stairs.
In the North of England, when an in
FAINT for the first time goes out of the
house, it is presented with an egg, some
salt and little loaf of bread and occa-
sionally small piece Of money-these
gifts being supposed to insure that the
child shall never stand in need Of the
common necessares of life. In the East
Riding of Yorkshire a few matches are
added to light the child to heaven. Il

Hope.

Eternal Hope is, perhaps, the most
logical tenet of the the three, for it SO
attaches escape from pain to the presence
of penitence and tendencies to righteous
ness that it seems to render salvation
less easy than it is rendered by the Uni
versalism which forces heaven upon all
by law of redemption Or progress. This
"hope" is only for the soul that has not
become the perfect slave Of sin. To
those who may have gone down to the
grave from pagan lands or from places
where no moral light has shone; to per-
sons who, amid clouds Of skeptic1sm,
have still sought after God if haply
they might find Him; to those whose
sins have brought many penitential tears
III this life; to those who have relied upon
morality and benevolence, not holding
the fact or quality Of church OF al
atonement; to those who have died too
young to have sounded fully the duties
OF life; and to an untold throng not
found in any category but made by the
Omniscient, comes this divine form OF
hope, walking through the shadows
Of the lost world just as sweetly as she
walks through the misfortunes of this
career. Hope moves all over our earth.
The young and the old see her the sick
hear her garments rustic III the air that
come into the open window, see her Id
the flowers by their bed the farmer sees
her moving over his field like Camilla
the student smiles at the touch Of hel
wand the lover and the poet create a
universe out of the material, rich and
beautiful, she heaps at their feet. This
same hope Farrar and his school behold
walking to and fro in the dark land be-
You'd the flood, offering hershand forever
and forever to all those beings which con.

Distressing Condition of the Russian
PeaSantry.

The Russian correspondent of the
Temps sends frightfully-vivid descrip-
ton of the decentralization, the drunken
ness, the misery, and poverty of the
Russian people. His accounts are fully
confirmed by a series of articles in the
GOlOS. The Russian writer doubts
whether the peasantry have been gain
ers-whether they have advanced in civ
1861. Assuredly they are no longer
sold like cattle; their children are no
longer taken from them; they are not
logged, nor are they subject to the dis
cretionary arbitrary power of the noble
OF his bailiff. Nor are they driven in
herds to work for him five or six days in
the week. But they have less land, less
wood, less credit than before. The
landlords, their owners, formerly pro-
tected them against the police, who now
pounce upon them for various kinds of
imposts unknown to them before. Then
they had but one master now they are
subject to the Mayor, to the tax-gather-
er, to the Chief of the Commune. to
the tribunal of Zemstvos, to the Judge,
and to other functionaries. Against
their exactions, arbitrary and frequently
illegal, they have no appeal. With their
Wanted self-government they have less
security and order than before. All the
hopes which were raised by their eman-
cipation have been dispelled; they have
fallen into apathetic discouragement, all
because they who are charged with the
administration of affairs are not ami
mated with the Cars liberal intentions.
After having granted a somewhat too
extensive autonomy, the authorities
sought to impede it's development. The
rural police and other functionaries were
invested with arbitrary powers to impose
fines and penalties. Additional vexa-
tious restrictions were imposed in 1874,
and the disheartened peasantry, seeing
the hopelessness of their plight, have
fallen into the most degraded drunken.
ness and its attendant misery. Multi
tudes who were well-to-do peasants have
seen all swept away from them-their
cattle, their homes, and all they now
groyel like the beasts of the field, where
shelter can be found. M. Kochelef, the
author Of these articles, insists that the
state must begin by enforcing agricult-
tural improvements the moral and in
tellectual development Of the peasantry
would follow, were the tribunals to be
reorganized so that the peasant could
have confidence in the integrity of his
arbitrators.
