Lieutenant Gushing says that the Zuni
Indians invest everything used in their
daily life with a spirit o. its own. A jar
has its life and death and the twanging
sound it gives forth upon breaking, es-
pecially when in the oven, IS the cry Of
the departing soul The lieutenant in
order to learn the ways Of the Zu2i sat
down among the women who were turn
ing pottery and initiated their work. He
began to whistle, when they threw up
their hands in dismay and cried to him
to cease. Any noise would excite the
jars spirit and cause it to break when in
the oven. They always paint a bacd
about the rim of vessel, outside if it
is a water jar and inside if it is intended
for cooking. But this band Is never
complete, as this would not allow the
spirit to escape when the jar dies All
the jars found in ancient Los Muertos
are banded, sometimes in three or fou1
colors, but the ring is never unbrokeD,

The Tse of Mnter at Meals-

Opinions differ as to the effect Of the
free ingestlon of water at meal times,
but the view most generally received is
probably that it dilutcs the gastric
juice and so rctards digestion. Apart
from the fact that a moderate deay in
the process IS by no means a disadvan-
tagc, as Sir William Roberts has shown
in his explanation Of the popularity of
tea and coffee, it is more than doubtful
whether any such effect is in reality
produced. When ingcsted during
meals, water may do good by washing
out the digestcd food and by exposing
the undigcsted part more thoroughly to
the action Of the digestive fcrments.
Pepsin is a catalyptic body, and a given
quantity will work almost indefinitely
provided the Peptoncs are removed as
they are formed Good effects
Of water, drunk freely before
meals, has, however, another
beneficial resuit-it washes away the
mucus which is secrotcd by the mucus
membrane during the intervals of reposc,
and favors pcristalsis Of the whole ali
mentary tract The membrane thus
cleanscd is in a much better condition
to receive food and convert it into solu-
bic compounds. The accumulation of
mucus is specially we'll marked in the
morning, when the gastric walls are
covered with q thick, tenacious layer.
Food entering the stomach at this time
will become covered with this tenacious
coating which for time protects it
from the action of the gastric fcrments,
and so retards digestion. The tubular
contracted stomach, with its puckered
mUcus lining and viscid contents, a nor
NAL condition in the morning before
breakfast, IS not suitable to receive
food. Exercise b fore partaking of a
meal stimulates the circulation of the
blood and facilitates the flow Of blood
through the vessels. \ glass of water
washes out the mucus, partially distends
the stomach, wakes up pcristalsis, and
prepares the aIimentary canal for the
morning meal. Observation has shown
that non-irritating liquids pass directly
through the ''tubular' stomach, and
even if food be present they only mix
with it to q slight extent According
to DR.. Leuf, who has made this sub ject
special study, cold water should be
given to persons who have sufficient vi
tality to react and hot water to Others In
chronic gastric catarrh it is extremely
beneficial to drink warm or hot water
before meals, and salt is said in most
cases to add to the good effect pro-
