The Digestibility Of Fish.

Fish is generally regarded as light,
easily digested, and nutritious article of
food, and as such is often prescribed for
patients during convalescence. But
every now and again the medical fra
ternity is chagrined at the sudden set
back of such patient, and occasionally
. fatal relapse follows the "bit of fish"
ordered as the proper thing for an in
valid's meal. DIR. j. Stuart Marine,
surgeon TO the Glasgow Samaritan Hos
pital for Women, calls attention to the
fact-learned by him through some
very distressing experiences-that 1t il
the cooking and preparation Of the fish,
and not the fish itself, which Is at fault.
Boiled fish, fried fish, baked fish, are all
inferior in digestibility to steamed fish.
Dieting is the half and sometimes the
hast half Of medical treatment, and
medical men are but poor doctors II they
ere not good cooks. But not all good
cooks know that q steamed fab may be
snfely and beneficially partaken of

The Big Cities Of SEQ tland.

/ am surprised at the many large
cities which Scotland has, many of
which are comparatively unknown in
America. Glasgow is the largest. 1t has
over 100000 population and shows the
most growth during late years, l am
told, of any city in Great Britain. 1t is
the third city in the kingdom, and ranks
next to London and Manchester. Elm
borough is about the size of Cleveland,
and may be called the Boston of Scot
land. 1t has Dos, 900 inhabitants and is
one Of the most beautiful cities in the
world. Paisley, the seat of the shawl
trade in former times, is a manufactur-
ing center, within seven miles Of Glas-
gov and its population is 10000. Trains
run into Glasgow every two minutes,
and as the fare is only pence it may be
considered a suburb of Glasgow. Green
ock, little further down the new Clyde,
has 10000 people, and Aberdeen, a uni
versity town, has 1000. Ayr, so noted
IN the poems of Burns, has 10000
Dundee has 10000, Leith $1,000, and il
has twenty-eight other towns which
range from 10000 to 10000 population.

To Men who Take Vacations.

Many middle-aged men who, at the
commencement of their autumn holi-
days, after months of comparative in
activity, undertake without preparation
some feat of Alpine climbing, or long
days grouse shooting on the moors, lay
the foundation of future heart troubles
or aneurism, simply because they will
not allsw time for the concordant ac-
ton between the heart and the great
blood vessels to be established. In all
cases where men are suddenly called
upon to exchange a sedentary life for
one of increased activity, they should
consult their medical attendant as to
the condition of their circulatory system.
One instance is particularly called to
us of distinguished general practi-
toner, who had long been troubled with
a spasmodic cough, which he thought
proceeded from deranged stomach, and
which month among the Alps would
soon put right. He started on his jour
ney, but fortunately en- route he trav-
eled in the same carriage with ply
sician who was personally a stranger.
During the journey the physician was
struck with the character of the cough,
and after little conversation an exam
ination Of the chest was made, which
resulted in the discovery of an aneurism
Of the transverse aorta which had es-
capped the patients notice. Had he
made any of his contemplated ascents
he would have aggravated the condi-
ton, even If the attempt had not led to
immediate death.-Annals of Hygiene.

An Unused vOlurue.

The most beautiful volume among the
500, 900 in the congressional library at
Washington is a Bible which was tram
scribed by a monk in the sixteenth ceil-
tury. It could not be matched to day
in the best printing office in the world.
Thsparchment is in perfect preserva-
ton. Every one of its 1000 pages is
study. The general lettering is in Ger.
man text, each letter perfect, and every
one of them in coal black ink, without
a scratch or blot from lid TO lid. At
the beginning of each chapter the first
letter is very large, usually two or three
inches long, and is brightly illuminated
in blue or red ink. Within each of these
capitals there is drawn the figure OF
some saint, or some incident of which
the following chapter tells is illustrated.
There are two columns on a page, and
nowhere is traceable the slightest ir-
regularity of line, space, or formation OF
the letters. Even under magnifying
glass they seem fiawless.
The precious volume is kept under q
glass case, which is sometimes lifted to
show that all the pages are as perfect as
the two which lie open. A legend re-
lates that a young man who had sinned
deeply became a monk and resolved
to do penance for his misdeeds. he
determined to copy the Bible, that he
might learn every letter of the divine
commands which he had violated.
Every day for many years he patiently
pursued his task. Each letter was
wrought with reverence and love; and
the penitent soul found its only COM
panionship in the sanity faces which
were portrayed on those pages. When
the last touch was given to the last
letter an old man reverently kissed the
page and folded the sheets together.
Soon afterward he died.-Chicago
Times.

A semi-savage African Monarch.

A notable man is Frances new ally,
the African monarch Samory. Accord
ing to lie Temps he is As years old and
stands six feet high. He is half-breed,
his mother belonging to the tribe of Peul
and his father to the Saracolais. He is
a good type of the semi-savage, with fiat
nose, thick lips and protuding jaws.
His skin is reddish black. He began life
as caravan driver, but displaying great
courage in war with neigbboring tribe,
he became famous and was elected chief.
Fired by ambition, he set to making con-
quests on his own account. and event
ually assumed the rank of royalty.
1t is estimated that he has conquered
NO fewer than 157 small states. The
frontiers OF his kingdom extend from
English Gambia to Ashantee on the one
side and from the Segon to Sierra Leone
on the other. His territory, therefore,
is as large as that of the whole of France.
His army consists of 10000 infantry
armed with guns. and 5000 cavalry.
Samory is Mussulman, but not very
fervent believer. He has prohibited in
toxicating drinks throughout his empire;
he says drunken man fears neither
God nor devil, and is prompt to rebel.
lion. His arms, hands and breast are
tattoed. He bathes every day; after his
bath he rubs his body with perfumed
butter, according to an ancient custom,
and paints his eyes so as to make them
appear large and terrible. In time of
peace his robes are all white, but in war
they are yellow. Samory has harem
of about 100 girls chosen from different
parts of his kingdom. When he visits
village it is the custom of the local
chief to make him presents, including
the most beautiful girl in the neighbor-
hood.-New York Tribune,

cARElESSNESS IN BUILDING.

An Evil Which Pertains to the Age
Manufacture Of Unsound Implements.
The United States engineers who are
Investigating the results of the earth
quake in Charleston find that nine
tenths Of the damaged brick buildings
have been constructed of faulty ma
terial and with careless workmanship.
One new school house, costing SEQ, 900,
n utterly ruined for this reason. The
same condition of things prevails in
cities generally, and even where no fault
can be found with the material it is too
sparingly used, and the structures are
necessarily Of an unsubstantial charac-
ter.
And it is not in the matter of houses
alone that imperfect or stinted work is
evinced. The evil is one which per-
tains to the age and particularly to this
country. In the desire to place cheap
goods of all kinds on the market the
limit of true economy and prudence is
left far behind. The clothing which the
great majority of people buy is poor
stuff. 1t looks well a. first but soon
fades, comes to pieces, or wears out. 1t
takes about three suits to do the ligiti-
mate service of one good one. A large
amount ofs shabby gentility, so far as
appearance go, is the consequence, and
it contrasts unfavorably with the stout
and appropriate garments used by the
masses in Europe or by the people of
generation ago anywhere.
The unsound manufacture extends to
wagons, agricultural implements, furni-
ture and many other articles in COM
mon use. The frequent rema is that
it is difficult to find any of these things
which are up to the old standard of ex-
cellence. A lack of confidence in chairs
is experienced by heavy people which
did not exist some years ago, and good
old housewives mournfully shake their
heads at the degeneration of fabrics in
which they are interested. Much of
this imperfection is attributed to the in
creased use of machinery, but as ma
chinery is not responsible for the kind
Of material used, the reason is not ade-
quate. The truth is that there has been
. wave towards flimsiness and apparent
cheapness in houses, clothes, and pretty
much everything else, and there is
fair hope that it has about reached its
limit and that, under the influence of
prevailing experiences, the current will
set the other way, as it has already done

The Thought Of Frisndlinsss.

To strive to forget enemies, or to

Is a. much an act Of self protection as
1t is to put up your hands to ward of

OF friendliness turns aside thought Of
