STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD
Prof. R. 4. Proctor found at Reno,
Nevada, a man who claims to be the
strongest man in the world. His name
is Angela Cardella. He is an italian,
aged thirty-eight, and stands five feet
ten inches in height, weighing 138
pounds. His strength was born with
him, for he has had no athletic training.
He differs from other men chiefly in his
osseous structure. Although not of
unusual size his spinal column is double
the ordinary width and his bones and
Joints are made on a similarly large
and generous scale. He can lift man
of 200 pounds with the middle finger of
his right hand. The man stood with
one foot on the floor, his arms out
stretched and his hand grasped by two
persons to balance his body. Cardella
then stopped down and placed the third
finger of his right hand under the mans
feet, and with scarcely any perceptible
effort, raised him to the height of four
feet and deposited him on q table near
at hand. Once two powerful Irishmen
waylaid Cardella with intent to thrash
him, but he seized one in each hand
and hammered them together till the
life was nearly hammered out of them.
He is of quiet and peaceable disposi-
tion, and his strength inherited, for he
states his father was more powerful
than himself.

COMMON MISTAKE ABOUT NEWS

country lawyers who get into Congress,
upon being introduced to Mr.. Haskell,

glad to see you, Mr.. Haskell. You're

items for your paper ?' The Washing
ton journalists were amused by this, be-
cause they reckon Mr.. Haskell's in
come from his newspaper at ten or
twenty times the congressman's. But
it is not the income of the man to whom
this frequent remark is addressed which
constitute its offensiveness but the
prevalent assumption that the main
errand in life of a journalists is to
"pick up a few items.'' Picking up
items is an honorable branch of the
profession, and one which public men
are often very grateful to have well
done but it does not define the scope
of journalists work much more ac=
curately than hoss cases'' do the pro-
fessional labors of an average lawyer,
This conception of the journalists

both sexes, who think the great anxiety
of an EDITORS life is to ''get something
to fill up" his columns.-Springfeld

HOW WE DIGEST.

To make the process of digestion
simple, let me say that it begins in the
mouth and ends in the lungs. A man
swallows a mouthful of bread. We
follow it down through the gsophagus
to his stomach. It is now revolved
about by peculiar motion of the stom-
ach, and as it touches here and there,
gastric juice starts out, like sweat upon
the forehead, and vets the bread.
After a couple Of hours revolving
about within the stomach, the bread is
changed into something that looks like
buttermilk. This is chyme. Now the
gate at the right end of the stomach
opens and let's this chyme pass through
the first parts of the intestine. There
two new liquids are poured in, one from
the liver,-the bile,-the other fro
the pancreas,-the pancreatic juice.
These induce certain changes in the
liquid bread which makes it resemble
milk. Now it is called chyle. Innu-
merable little mouths which open with
in the intestine, suck up this milk or
chyle, carrying it to small canal--and
thoracic duct which lies upon the back
bone, and through it runs up the upper
part of the chest and is poured into a
large vein just under the left collar
bone. Through this vein it reaches the
right side of the heart, and is then
forced into the lungs, when it comes in
contact with the air. Now a wonder
full change comes over it. This is pro-
duced by the addition of oxygen to the
milk-like fluid. For a given quantity
of this chyle, still larger quantity of
oxygen is added, and the compound
which comes of this union between the
bread and the oxygen is the nutriment
which supplies the wants of the system.
What takes place in the lungs is more
important than anything that precedes
it, in the process of digestion.
For example, aman may live on fried
salt pork hot saleratus biscuit and strong
green tea II don't know of worse dose),
if he lives on the Western plains, and
breathes pure air, he will have purer
blood, healthier skin and will be freer
from humors, than another man who
lives upon the choicest grains and fruits,
but who constantly breathes the air of a
close furnace-heated house. In other
words we may truly say that, in consid-
ering the great function of digestion,
the lungs really play more important |
part than the stomach itself.
1t is really vital that the first and
last step in digestion should be well |
done. First, chew well, and last |
breathe well. If those two duties are
well performed, a substantial contribu-
tion will be made to our welfare.

ELEGANT sILKEN FABRICS.

If all the world should array itself in
silk the next two seasons there would
be richness without gaudiness and
variety in suf1ciency. Not only are
black silks fashionable, but plain silks
in other colors and striped and checked
silks Of dark and delicate shades. The
most elegant are in dull tints, which
are called "new shades" though they
look as if the dust of ages had sifted
over them, leaving the brilliant colors
pale and faded. The ottoman repped
silks in the predominant shades of the
"new" reds, blues and olives are most
elegant, as well as most popular. Fig
ured plush over an ottoman grounding is
a very rich fabric, more suitable for the
earlier than the later spring. Snowy ball
dresses are made of this ottoman. One
pretty combination is pale blue and
strawberry red, the blue forming the
short skirt and the red the waist and
long train. Another is described of
putty-colOred gros-grain ottoman. The
skirt clears the ground in front and
forms in the back a long train, with a
band of sealskin over the hem. The
small shawl-pointed apron of pointed
d'Alencon in one piece is raised on the
sides by red roses and leaves of seal
colored chenille. A quill-shaped pleat-
ing trimmed with lace terminates over
the band of sealskin. The waist is
pointed, the back of the waist being
high and the front being cut square.
The changeable silks are of fascinating
tints this year, shading into red, blue or
golden in the light. They are further
striped with fine pencil lines of black.
The summer silks are in checks, called
" gingham cheeks y of the contrasting
colores seen in Scotch ginghams, such as
pale blue, with dark brown brighter
blue, with terra Gotta dark green with
strawberry red, and some pale blue,
pink, with gray and green buff, with
dark and olive, all in small checks.
The silk is smooth and glossy and is
said to wear well. From eighteen to
twenty yards are used in dress, yard
costing S1.25. These summer silks are
preferably made up plain that is, in
combination with no other MATERIAL

How A DELAWARE Boy HAD Fun.
The Rev. Mr.. Redman, pastor in
charge of the M. E. Church at George
town, some days ago called at house
in town and offered to pray with the
family. Through a door in an adjoin-
ing room the preacher observed stout
boy belonging to the family with an old
hen under hisarm. On being urged by
the head of the family to release the hen
and join in the devotions the undevout
lad showed no signs of obedience, but
stood stock still with the old hen under
his Youthful arm while the family, led
by the pastor, knelt in prayer. When
the devout members Of the family res
ponded a harty amen the attentive boy
would pinch the old hen, whereupon
the tortured fowl would utter mourn
full cry, to the great amusement Of the
boy. It is hardly necessary to say that
the prayer was short one and unmixed
with the faith that removes mountains.
