Mastication of Food,

A curious controversy is in progress
as to the need or value Of ''biting ones
food" Strangely, as it must appear,
there are some who should be author
tiles ready to affirm that it is futile to
take the trouble to use the teeth with
which nature has provided man, in
common with most other animals, APP
parently for the special purpose OF
cutting and grinding his food. We do
not incline to mingle in the fray, Just
at present at least. Let the dispute
60 on and be fought out to the bitter
end. Meanwhile, we counsel all who
care for comfort, and who do not de-
sire to develop the worst form
of dyspepsia, to continue the practice
of mastication as before. AS a mat
ter OF tact and experience, a liberal
use of the teeth in feeding is one of
the essentials of easy digestion, and
though we are not prepared to assert
selof meat precisely twenty five times,
it is better to err on the side of mas
ticating too much than on, that of not
masticating enoughs first to divide
the food and crush it's fbres and par
ticles generally, and, secondly, to mix
it so thoroughly with the secretion
from the salivary glands that not
only shall the act of deglutition be
rendered easy, but that the food when
it enters the stomach shall have been
properly prepared for digestion in the
gastric juice. London Lancet.

have q dance. and two young noble
men were pitted against each other
in Highland fling. The rivals took off
their coats and waistcoats and their
evening shoes and began capering with
all the fervor of the stage Irishman-
leaping, brandishing their arms,
whooping and shouting like Florence
or Barney Williams in favorite role.
The others Joined in Or took their.
turn, while the screech Of the bag-pipe
accompanied and excited the per

room the young aristocrats then
heaped up in mass all the movable
furniture, sofas, ottomans and chairs
Then nearly every man OF the com
pany in turn started from the head
of the room to leap over the pile.
Some stumbled, one OR two fell, but:
most OF them cleared the barrier.
No one was hurt, but clothes were
torn, trousers burst, and every noble
acrobat was bathed in perspiration-
The sport was kept up till nearly
midnight, and then it was time to
dress again, for they were all going,
to a ball at the Duchess of Buc7,

an hour later Imet them again, renew

A Bald and Toothless Age.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
According to a writer in the Popular
Science Monthly the coming man is
to be bald and without teeth The
present man, accordingto this writer's
observations in our larger cities, is
already bald to the extent OF almost
so per cent. Variety theater per-
formances have hitherto been gener.
ally thought to be the most produc.
tive OF badness, or attract bald.
headed men most, but the scientists
facts are against this view. 1t was
found, for example, that 40 per cent.
OF the men In attendance at one of
Matthew Arnold's lectures in Bos-
ton were bald, or We're becoming
bald, while at a variety theater
performance given in the same city
about the same time but 25
per cent. OF the male portion of the
audience was bald. When Patti sang in
that city the bald headed men aver
aged a. per cent. of the male listeners.
At Trinity Church, Boston, so per
cent. OF the men attending are bald or
losing their locks, while nearly so per
cent. OF the shipping clerks in q New
York store were in that condition. As
regards the loss OF teeth, the vastly
greater frequency of dentists signs in
the last score of years, and the fact
that nowadays nearly hall the people
over 20 have their jaws filled with ar
tifcial teeth, are the circumstances
that are thought to prove the degen-
eracy OF the present time. The disap-
pearance of the hair of the generation
of to-day is ascribed to the use of hats
which make it useless. The loss of
teeth is perhaps to be explained in a
similar way, the art OF cooking having
made the use OF teeth for purposes OF
rending and grinding superfuous.

The breezes rustic the fragrant hay.

Which bud and bloom in the meadows wide,
With daisies and buttercups side by side!

And golden haired Elsie follows him fast
Till the top of the ladder is reached at last
And over their heads, in the rafters strong,

While In and out at the wide barn door
The swallows are teaching their young to soar.

For grandpa in the ''long ago.

A friend related an incident to me to-day
about Mr.. James w. Scoville, of Oak Park,
which will be of interest to the people who
assembled the other afternoon to witness the
laying of the cornerstone of the Scoville in
stitute in that charming suburb. The great
distinction between different philanthropists
is that some of them give their money IN their
lifetime and others give it after they are
dead and have no use for it themselves. Mr..
Peabody, of blessed memory, was moved to
make his princely benefactions by reading on
a tombstone in London Of a man who had
bestowed large sums Of money ''in his life
time" and Mr. Scoville was similarly affected
by an incident that befell him in the Cooper
institute in New York. While he was i'm the
Office Of the institute a clerk came in with q
plumbers bin which he had gone out to pay,
and informed the officers that the plumber re-
fused to take any pay for his work. When
asked for an explanation he said that he was
q prosperous man and that he owed it all to
Peter Cooper. When he was n hopeless, pen
niless Lad on the streets Of New York he had
been taken up and given an education at the
Cooper institute, and he could never charge
Mr. Cooper for anything. Mr.. Scoville was
at once penetrated with the idea that the
greatest happiness that any human being
can feel was to do good in his lifetime, and
live to see the effects Of it and to enjoy the
gratitude Of his benefciaries. Chicago

cello, with a lofty columned portico in front
The st. Aldemars are a wealthy lodge of
Knights Templar. They have a ladies' circle
of sixty-one members. The house was richly
furnished and decorated for this occasion.
The ladies' circle took the matter of entertain
ing the stranger guests in hand, and made it
much of n success n church fair. They
remained personally on the ground and saw
that all who came had a lunch. They offered
tea, coffee, ice water and all the good luncha-
bles that hungry guests might desire, but Of
wine or beer or whisky, ne'er n drop. They
held fast by the inborn temperance principles
of the feminine sex.
The interior of St Aldemar's was charac-
terized by artistic taste in decoration. Flow
ers and plants are in abundance. The head
quarter room of the commandery contained
chairs of cherry, upholstered in leather, vel
vet and plush. There was a dreamily beauti-
full sitting room, draped in blue, for ladies {;
there was a snuggery for the male sex abso-
lutely gorgeous in its appointments likewise
a smoking room of the same kind.
The St. Aldemar commandery is fifteen
years old.
The stunning feature of the conclave, how
ever, was perhaps what was called a charity
concert, given at the st. Louis fair grounds
