Not n Question of Sex.

A gentleman was riding in an Adams street car and was telling 6 friend of a story he had been read ing in New York paper of a horse that chewed tobacco. Up spoke a woman, dressed in the extreme of fashion: q never heard of a horse that chewed tobacco, but I've wit messed several hogs engaged iu the operation"
 The gentlemen, who had been quietly masticating a quid, went out and took a seat on the back platform to see what kind of wea, ther we were going to have; the car stopped to let tired looking woman get on, and the female saint who had rebuked the tobacco chewing men spread out her skirts so that the poor woman could find no seat; the car started and rolled on its way.
 Men and sisters, come to sift it down, there is more or less hog in all human nature, regardless oi sex or tobacco-chewing habits Peoria Transcript.

Nouriskrncnt in Cheese;

The journal of the Chemical Society states that of some eigh- teen varieties of cheese experi, mented with, cheddar was digest ed in the shortest time-namely four hours; whilo unripe skim Swiss cheese required ten hours for solution. There appears to be no difference in the digestibility of all sorts of hard cheeses, or all soft cheese; but all fat cheeses are dissolved the most rapidly, be- cause, being open by reason of the fat, they are the more readily attacked by the solvent. There seems to be no connection between the digestib;lity and the percent age of water present in the cheese, though there is some connection with the percentage of fat and the degree of ripeness. From numer ous examinations which have been made of the quantity of nitrogen dissolved, t is concluded that cheese, on account of its great digestibility, is the most nourish- ing of all foods, meat and eggs excepted.

A question that has frequently come up in this district, and has been a matter Of considerable dis pute, has been definitely decided by Judge Turner, in the federal district court of western Texas. It is in relation to the free import atior of animals for breeding pur- poses. Judge Turner says: 'The evidence should show that breed ing IS the special and not the in- cidental object of the importation, and the collector must be satisfied beyond 6 reasonable doubt that the evidence is true. If the ami mals are imported for sale or on speculation, or for working pur- poses, they can not be admitted under such provision either on the presumption that they may after ward be used for breeding or oth erwise. -El Paso Times.

\ Lsace of Dwarra.

The inhabitants of the Anda- man Islands are the smallest race of people in the world. The average night of full-grown Anda mans is four feet five inches, and few weigh over seventy-six pounds. They are marvelously swift of foot, and as they smear themselves over with Q mixture of oil and red ochre present very strange ap pearance. Few travellers care to encounter any of these belllco. g little people, for their skill in throwing the spear and in using the bow IS only equaled by their readiness to attack strangers Exchange.

PuncheI Coin in the Collection
 iSONes

What we need in our church Is less preaching of prohibition and more preaching of honesty" was the exclamation of a business man to friend who took the vacont seat beside the speaker on a train from Connecticut into New York. This rather remarkable comment was the answer the friend received when he asked the business man what he had that jingled so in the heavy bag that was taken from the seat to make room.
 This bag" continued the busi- ness man, contains punched, clipped, and abased coins, and 1 am going to New York to sell the lot for what they will fetch. O, no, I didn't take them iu my business, but in another way, in which I couldn't refuse them. You see 1 am treasurer of our church, and these dimes and nickels, and other coin were put from time to time in the contribution box. When clipped and punched coin began to be refused they began to make their appearance in our boxes when the collections were taken up. I suppose we have taken in a hundred dollars worth of this com at its face value. l am going to suggest to our minister that he stop preaching prohibitit n for a while audgiye us a sermon on petty dishonesty. Our church isn't peculiar in this re- spect either. The treasurer of one of the other churches in town tells me that he is bothered in the same way."-New York Sun.

In the treatment of this case tue tongue was painted with glycerine frequently, the result of this appli- cation being that at the first trial the patient slept almost comforta- bly, waking Up about every two hours with the tongue feeling dry, but not really dry to the touch; i; after renewed application of the glycerine he at once slept agaIn. It also appears that this treatment WAS resorted to in a number of other cases with similar satisfactory results.

MISSISSIPPI UNIVERSITY.
The Trustees Were Selected TO Rep.
resent the State, Not the
Churches,
To the Editors of the Appeal:

10 INC EultOIb Vi luo hDpohis
OXFORD, MISS, July 19.-The Gov
ernorsof Mississippi do not seem to
have regarded their duty in appoint
ing trustees from Baptist standpoint.
They seemed DESTROYS Of compliment
ing certain distinguished citizens OF
the State, and it 80 happened there
were but few Baptists among them. 1t
is not claimed that they rejected Blp-
fists as such, but that their claims as
numerical majority were ignored.
Now, if the Governors should be
guided by numbers only, let US inquire
where this principle would lead us.
To secure intelligent action before APP
pointing trustees they should have
had census taken of each denomina-
ton and Of each race. If each de.
nomination had the right to repre-
sentation, each race had necessarily
the same lights as cit'zsDs, and we
should have had board selected as
well Of race as Of religious opinions,
The majority demo minstion would
thereby be recognized as the religion
of the State. II, then, the Bsplists
had the majority they claimed theirs
would become the State religion. Sup
ported to that extent by the State aud
their colored members (supposed TO BIZ
10000 OF the $4,000 claimed)
would OF necessity have their members
in the Board Of Trustees. The only
tensble position is that citizens have
no rights based on religious conviC-
ton. Protestant, Romanist, Jew,
Turk or infdel stand all on a common
plane before the law. The Governor
has no right to make any distinction.
His only inqu ry ought to be: Is he
competent Is he efficient2 Can he
promote the interest of the univer-
sity? The 40 yernors have probably
in advertautly placed the institution in
the hands Of a class of lawyers, aud
have made 8 failure, but they have
been wise in this-they have not Sc
lected trustees because OF their belief
or unbelief in any religious dogmas.
As reference is frequently made to
the University OF Virginia, the separa-
ton between Church and State is
strictly defined there. The chaplain is
not a member Of the faculty, and is
chosen for his personal popularity, and
not because be holds the theological
tsnets of any denomination.

Robbed His EmpIoYern.

New YORK, July 20.-Douglass
Roome, for several years a trusted
bookkeeper of Wheelwright, Auder-
sou & Co, a dry goods commission
firm of Boston and New York, has
disappeared. He sent letter to the
firm confessing that he had robbed
them of about $4,000. His letter
told when and in what sums he had
taken the firms money with all book
keepers accuracy of statement. 1t
told all the false entries made to con-
ceal the populations, and just how he
had managed to mix up accounts
without being detected by the firm on
the one hand or by the customers on
the other. His populations had been
going on for two or three years.
