The second annual report of the civil SER
vice commission has been published, and
shows that the operation of the law has been
in every way as successful and satisfactory
as was hoped for when the first report was
made a year ago. During the IS months
since the commission was established, 1922
appointments have been made from the num-
Der of those who have passed the e1amina-
tions, and in no case has there been any dis
elimination on account of the political afii-
atoms Of the candidates. In transmitting
the report to Congress President Arthur with
good reason coDgratulates the country on the
success which has attended the labors of the
commission.

Every child living In the country has
stood and watched the curious operation
and wondered what the lump Was that
he saw come up In the COW 8 throht, and
then go down again after she bad
che wed IL for certain length OF time.
And perhaps be may have seen the
anxiety and turmoil produced on farm
by the report that some one Of the cows
had ''lOst her cud," land as the result of
this excitement he may have seen the
absurd attempt to "make new cud;'
in the hope that the cow would by such
means be restored to good condition.
There is in the minds of large proper
ton of the readers so little correct nm
Outstanding of the true nature Of chew
ing the cu6," that few words concern
ing it may not be amiss.
A very large tribe of animals, OF
which sheep and cows are only familiar
examples, are called in works of natu-
raj history "Rumin anita" because they
all "ruminate," they chew the cud.
They do so because the peculiar organs
of digestion require it.; they can get
their nourishment in no otter way.
They have, it is said In the books, four
stomachs, but it is not strictly correct,
for the entire digestion Is done In SIN
gle one, that which Is called the fourth,
the other three being only places for
preparatory work. Their food is swal-
lowed without being chewed; the chew
ing is to come later. When this UNI
chewed food Is swallowed it passes d.
rectly into the first stomach, to use the
common term; but the drink which the
animal takes goes straight past the en-
trance of the A rst into the second. These
two serve only to soak and soften the
coarse food. When the first has done
what It can, the food passes out into the
second, and then the COW or sheep is
ready to "chew the cud."
The second stomach, while busily at
work soaking the food, keeps in motion,
and generally rolls it up into masses, so
that ia the small upper part there is
formed an oblong solid lump of the size
that We recognize as the "cud." This
the animal throws up into the mouth,
and chews with evidently as much sat
isfaction as the same act Of mastication
gives US when we put the most delicate
morsels between our teeth. When it Is
sufficiently chewed, the mass is swal-
lowed and its place taken by another
which had been rolled up In the mean
time.
This is, indeed, the whole story, and
we see how naturally the chewing comes
in; it is the same as in our case, only
that it is at different stage of thefood's
progress. And we see also what closing
the cud" really is. The COW or sheep
Is suffering from Indigestion the "sec-
ond stomach" has failed to roll up the
little masses suitable for chewing, and
there is nothing which the poor beast
eau bring up. OF course, therefore, the
one thing required is to restore the tone
and power of the stomach; not to bur-
den it with an "artificial cud," which
would only increase the difficulty, in
stead of relieving it.

On the st. Lawrence we once met a

cd looking man We never saw. He was
as limp as a week old paper collar.
"Did they starve ysu in prison ?" "No."
Did they treat you with cruelty, oyer

chief did none Of these things" "Then
why this tortured look and why is my

A rBriiliant" Man.

The following is from the gossip OF

The doctor offered to prove it if
would meet him the next day at one of
the big drug stores up Broadway went
at the hour stated, and was concealed
with the doctor in dark room back of
the office. At precisely 8 o'clock in the
afternoon, as had been predicted, my
friend the contractor appeared and pur-
chased the morphine. Stepping into the
office he took off his over and under
coats, rolled up his shirt sleeves and pre-
pared to inject the poison with syringe.
His arm was covered with scars.

Restoration of Apparently Dead Carp.

Wishing to examine some scale carp
anatomically, says Charles w. Scudder,
of the United States fish commission,
visited the central Matching station of
the United States fish commission in the
armory building, and called for dead
carp, as they would answer my purpose
as well as live ones. Mr.. j. E. Brown
handed me seven or eight, which were
from one to three inches in length, and
which had been thrown out OF the tanks
as dead. These l at once put into an
envelope and carried home in my pocket.
At least an hour later removed them
from the envelope and put them in a
wash-bowl Of water for cleansing them.
l soon noticed that two of them were
floating on their sides and occasionally
gasping. A half-hour after this, for the
purpose of discovering how much vitality
there might be in the two in which had
observed signs of life. placed in the
mouth of each one drop of brandy di-
luted with an equal amount of water.
These | returned to the bowl, and paid
no further attention to them until six
hours afterward. then noticed that the
two which had received the tonic showed
a marked improvement, and were swim
ming on their sides nearly at the top of
the water. l then changed the water
and administered the same amount of
brandy as before. On the following
morning, thirteen hours after the first
of brandy and seven hours
after the second dose, the two fish in
question were apparently fully restored,
and were swimming naturally and ac-
lively about the bowl. The restoration
proved to be complete.
