occasions in particular; both were at
hospitals; one was the hacking cough

Elements and Uses of Food.

E1cAHCuGS stuU OScS Ol Z OOUs
Youths Companion.
Our bodies are made up of what We
eat.
An article to be suitable for food
must contain at least one of the ele-
mentary substances ofwhich the body
consists, and this must be capable of
a ready separation from all other ele-
ments. The latter, if not poisonous,
will be rejected from the system with
out harm.
The best kinds of food are such as
contain the most of the bodily ele-
ments. Milk contains all, and is hence
a perfect food.
A proper diet is such acombination
of articles as together furnish all the
elements in due proportion, while, at
the same time, these articles please
the taste and crafty oul love of varie-
ty. Starvation would result in time
if a single one of these elements were
lacking. Not only must muscle, bone,
ETC., be provided for, but still more,
brain, nerve, and every secretion.
The modern fancy for the whitest
bread is at fault, for such bread is de-
ficient in the elements that make brain.
nerves and bones. Hence the tenden-
cy to nervous diseases, dyspepsia, and
decaying teeth. Absence of vegetable
food gives rise to scurvy; the too ex-
elusive use of animal food, to gout.
But food must be digested. For
this no less than five digestive fluids
are secreted by appropriate glands
saliva, for starch and sugar; gastric
juice, for flesh, fish, eggs, etc.; bile and
pancreatic juice, for fat, the latter also
aiding in the digestion of starch; and
the intestinal secretions, to complete
the process. A deficiency in any one
of these results in some form OF dys-
pepsia.
The digested food must lass from
the intestines into the circulation.
Hence myriads of hungry mouths seize
it from the former and pour it through
countless minute vessels, which con-
stantly unite and form larger, into the
right side of the heart. Should these
vessels be closed up by inflammation,
the body would waste away, however
good the appetite and vigorous the
digestion.
This imperfect blood does not, how
ever, yet 60 into the full circulation,
but passes round through the lungs
with the venous blood and then into
the left side of the heart, whence it is
sent out into the arteries pure fluid,
rich in every element. '
But the process of nutrition is not
yet finished. Those sleepless workers.
the ultimate cells, whether of brain.
or bone, or muscle, or membrane.
throwing off each moment the waste
debris, take from the same arteriaI
fluid each what it needs.

From a Snowy Grave.

Charles A. A. Allison, the New York
sportsman who had such q terrible ex-
perience at Moosehead Lake, stopped
in Bangor on his way home. The
Suns representative found him in a
comfortable room at the Penobscot
Exchange, seated before blazing
hearth, and listened to some of the
details OF his perilous Journey Mr..
Allison is young law student OF New
York City, where he has been connect

Self at Brasson Lake, near Moosehead,
having royal good time shooting
and fishing. He had sent his traps in
advance to the Kineo House, great
hotel on the shores of Moosehead,
with the intent of returning home, and
soon after he started on snow
shoes to walk to. the hotel,
q distance of ten miles. there
to take the stage for the railroad at
West Cove, at the foot of the lake.
He trudged along toward Moose River
for while all right, but the drifts be.
came of such a nature that he cast
the snow-shoes aside and started on
moccasins. When he reached the
mouth of the river, where he intended
to cross, he found to his dismay, that
there was a stretch of open water be.
fore him. He started to follow up the
river for a crossing, but had not gone
far when the ice broke, and he went
into the water to his shoulders, bare
ly saving himself by scretching out his
arms. He then kept along the shore
for distance, but the snow was four
feet deep, and he was again obliged to
take to the ice. Soon he again broke
through, and this time went so deep
that he got a drink of water, which
his parched mouth sadly needed. By
great exertions he managed to crawl
out, and then sat down on a spot of
sound ice to rest and try to tie on one
of his moccasins, which had fallen off.
So slow was he tying the knot with
his benumbed fingers that when the
operation was finished he found that
the shoe had frozen to the ice, and he
was obliged to cut it off and proceed
barefooted. He half walked, half
crawled along the ice, breaking through
every few rods and getting OUTFLOW
he knew not. His wet clothing had by
this time frozen stiff. and he only kept
from freezing to death by rolling in the
deep snow on the banks. This gave
him the appearance of q veritable
ghost in winter, the snow having clung
like q feathery mantle about his drip
ping icy form. Once he was almost
buried by falling over the crest of q
wing dam into huge drift. There is
one habitation only on Moose river,
the cabin of Tom Willer, and this ALI
son knew, but he did not know how
near he was to it. At length, wearied
out, he was about to lie down in q
snowy grave, when, almost without
hope he shouted for help. There was
no answer. 1t seemed like shouting to
the winds. He called again, and
there was a faint echo. He
was near Tom Willer's. WiIler came
out on the bank, but the ice between
him and the freezing sportsman was
thin, and had not two Bangor woods.

Boycotting an Old Device.

Professor Arthur T. Hadley writes
''rhe Importance OF boycottingis new
and the nameis new, but the practice
itself, even on a large scale, is no new
thing. The anti-slavery men were syste.
matically boycotted by the slavehold-
ers. The British tea traders were most
actively boycotted by our forefathers
just before the outbreak ofthe revoiu-t
tionary war. The Jews have been boy
cotted in various parts of the world.

Kicking Horses.

An equine school in Boston is some
thing of a novelty, and that such =
school is in existence is not as COM
monty known as it should be, es-
pecially by owners Of vicious horses.
A short time ago a large audience as
sembled in what was formerly the
Boston Riding Academy, at 1909
Washington street. to witness Prof.
o. r. Gleason demonstrate his prin-
c;ples of subduing refractory animals,
and making a kicking horse in few
houls' time as doclle as a lamb. Tho
professors first subject was q kicking
horse, which is well known among the
horsemen of this city as being a par
ticularly vicious brute, and terror
to the blacksmiths who have been in
trusted to keep her feet properly shod.
When first led into the sawdust arena,
the approach OF any individual with
i'll 10 feet Of the animal was a signal
for her to let drive with all the force
she could muster with both
hind feet. Prof. Gleason first put on
her head what he terms his
eureka bride, consisting of a COM

feet in length, arranged in peculiar
manner, so that he has perfect control
of the animal; then strap was buck
led around her fore feet under the fet-
locks, in which a ring was fastened,
rope passed through the ring, thence
through another one in surcingle,
and every time the animal attempted
to kick, u quick jerk on the rope would
bring her on to her fore knees. After
being brought to a kneeling position a
score or more times, she finally con-
cluded that it didn't pay to be a kick
er, and trotted around the circle as
calmly as man in rubber boots
would step on to a crosswalk in one
of our flooded streets. So much was
the animal under the control of Prof.
Gleason that without a saddle or bri-
die he rode her around the ring with
tin pans tied to her tail, opened and
closed an umbrella, fired a revolver,
and finally, after alighting, he raised
her feet and went through the motion
of shoeing, and although he had never
touched the animal previous to her
appearance in the ring, she was as
tractable beast as one would desire
to handle. The second subject was a
large sorrel work horse, and he in turn
was treated in like manner.
