A Help to Good Dizestion.

In the Brtkh Medical Journal Dr.. W. Rob
erts, Of England, discusses the effect of
liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion.
All Of them retard the chemical processes,
but most OF them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions, Dis
titled spirits retard the "salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sparingiy used,
Wines were found to he highly Injurious
to S~alivary digestion. On peptic digestion
all wines exert a retardi1g influence. tn
stimulate the glandular and muscular &C.
tivity of the stomach. Efervescent wines
exert the greatest amount OF good with
the least harm to digestion. When ones
digestion is out of order everything goes
awry, unless, as in the case Of 7. T. Seals,
Of Bellaire, Ohio, who had had bad dys.
pepsia for seven years, the digestive appar-
atus is kept in apple-pie eating order by
Warmers Tippccanoe, the best appetite
producer and regulator in the world.
Tea, even in minute quantities. complete
ly paralyzes the action Of the 6aliv TIE
tannin in strong tea is injurious. Weak
tea should be used, if at all. Strong coffee
and cocoa are also injurious if used in ex,
cess.-INs CoSH4OrOiitan.

BLUE MONDAY.
Origin Of Q Custom Prevalent in Many
Countries.

1t used to be a custom in many coun.
tries for the journeymen and laborers to
consider every Monday a day set apart
for idleness, and no inducement would
be strong enough to make them labor.
In the sixteenth century it was a Gus
tom in Germany to decorate the
churches with blue on fast days, The
tradesmen begun to keep their fasts by
~neglecting their work, ndthen servants
followed the example. Having nothing
to do, the common people spent the
time in drinking and eating, until To
day is Feasting Monday" became a
proverb. The custom, at first confined
to innocent amusements the evening of
fast days, was soon extended to every
Monday in the year, and at once
firmly established. it soon grew
to be distinguished by tumults
and debaucheries. Nothing proved eff.
~fectual to prevent the disorders until the
matter was taken up by the Diet. Ihi.
was brought about by a company
of shoemakers at Augsburg in 1926, who
excited other workmen at Wurtsburg
by letter, to riotous acts. The magis
trates forbid the correspondence, ant
the shoemakers regarded this as al in
fringement of their rights.
In 1881 the Diet published IN edic
abolishing the keeping of Blue Monday
Very little attention was paid to it, how
ever, and in 1864 the Emperor Franci
renewed it. In 1872 a decree of the En-
pire was made abolishing Blue Monday
but V e then it was many years befor
there was much change in the observ
ance of the day, the j%ourneymen tailor,
being among the last to fail to devot
every Monday to the worship of BAG
chus in spite of any rewards which
might be offered to tempt him to homes
labor. -BoSton Globe.

A Half Hour in the Mining Department

it appears that there is to be a mining

proposed professor l fear he will mere

Professor-First class in mining

First boy--It is a rock that would be
granite if it contained mica in the place
of hornblende.
Professor-Correct. Now what is
granite?
Second boy--It is a rock that would
be syenite if it contained hornblende
instead of mica.
Professor-Correct. What is dioritef
Third boy-It is syenite with the
quartz Of syenite left out.
Professor-Quite right. What is a
shaft?
First boy--A tunnel stood on end.
Professor-Right. What is a tunnel?
Second boy-A shaft lying on the fiat
of its back.
Professor-Quite correct. What is an
inclinep
Third boy-It's a hole in the ground
that would be a shaft if it stood straight
up, and a tunnel if it lay fiat down.
Professor-Quite right, but it would
have sounded more scientific had you
used the words vertical and "hor-
izontal." Now, what is an upraiseP
Fourth boy-It is a kind of shaft in
which the sinking is done from the bot
torn upward.
PROFESSIONALISM. What Is a cross

Fifth boy-It is a kind OF a drift that
taps water where it was expected to
cut into ore.
Professor-Quite correct. You may
now all report yourselves at headquar-
tiers in San Francisco for the first va
cancies that occur in the Superintend
ency of Mines that are taking in regu-

A MEDIEVAL RELIC.
The Interesting Discovery Made in an
Old Norwegian Church.

The Interesting Discovery Made in an
Old Norwegian Church.
The process of restoring Il charac-
teristic old wooden church at Hopper.
stad, in the Hardes district of Sogne,
in Norway, has brought to light an in.
teresting Norwegian medieval relic.
In a closed niche q book, consisting OF
six wax tablets, was found. carefully
inclosed in q casket of wood and
leather. The tablets are of lockwood,
covered with wax, each tablet having
q thin border, so as to hinder the tab
lets from sticking together on closing
the book; this precaution has helped to
keep it in excellent preservation. The
contents are chiefly drawings, made
by a fine style, representing scenes
from village and rural life. At the end
there is a large catalogue in Latin OF
various kinds of animals, with 4 trans
lation into old Norwegian; and from
this it has been conjectured that the
greater portion of the book dates from
the close of the thirteenth century
But there are indications that part of
the book is of earlier date. The tab
lets are fastened together at the back.
and the cover is carved and inlaid with
various small pieces of differently COLI
ored woods. The book has been
placed in the Museum Of Antiquities
in the University Of Christiania, and it
is intended to publish it shortly in fac
simile.-N. Y. Post.
