Relies of Washington.

The approaching celebration in this
city, of the centennial of the Inaugura-
tion of George Washington as first Presi-
dent in this country, says the New York
Mail and Express, is causing those who
intend participating in the ceremonies
to collect relics of that interesting his
toric event. Among the collection
owned by the New York historical society
are several ifc-size portraits of Wash
ngton, said to be the best in existence.
They were part of the old Livingston
collection, once housed in the Rotunda
of the city hall park, which occupied
the site of the present court house.
Among other relics of that epoch is the
tail of the horse which was bestrode by
the leaden statue of George III, torn
down from its pedestal in bowling green
to be moulded into federal bullets. 1t
now reposes peacefully oa Washington's
camp Deadstead. st. John lodge No. 1,
the Oldest lodge of Masons in
this city, possesses the Bible on
which George Washington took
the oath of office on April %, 1899. The
story is told that when Bible was
sought for by those having charge of
the inaugul alton ceremonies Washing
ton told the committee to go to the
Masonic lodge rooms and they would
be certain to find one there After the
ceremony the Bible was returned to the
lodge, the members Of which to-day
hold the volume in high venoration.
Another relic is the family pew in "O,d
st. Pauls'' in which Washington sat
during the services connected with the
Inauguration. 1t is opposite that occu-
pied on that day by Gov. George Clin-
ton; for at the time of the Inauguration
both congress and the Legislature met in
Federal hall, the site of which is now
occupied by the sub treasury of the
United States, at the corner Of Wall and
Nassau streets, where colossal statue
of Washington has been placed.

Foods Digested With Tea and Coffee

Digestion He concludes, according to
science, that it is better not to eat much
of meats at the same time as infused
their diges ton will In most cases be re-
tardcd, thO Ough there are possibly ex-
ceptions. Absorption may be rendered
more raplG, but there is a loss of nutri-
tive substance. On the other hand, the
digestion of starchy food appears to be
assisted by tea and coffee; and gluten,
the albumiuoid of flour, has been seen
to be the principle least retarded
in digestion by tea, and it only
comes third with cocoa, while
coffee has apparently a much greater re-
tarding action on it, From this it ap
pears that bread is the natural accom-
paniment of tea and cocoa when used as
the beverages at a meal. Perhaps the
action of coffee is the reason why, in
this country, it is usually drank alone or
at breakfast, a meal which consists much
of meat, and of meats eggs and salt
meats which are not much retarded in
digestion by coffee. 2. That eggs are
the best form of animal food to be taken
along with infused beverages, and that
apparently they are best lightly
boiled if tea, hard boiled il
coffee or cocoa is the beverage 3,
That the cascin of the milk and cream
taken with the beverages is probably
absorbed il large degree from the
stomach, and that the butter used with
bread undergoes digestion more slowly
in the presence OF tea, but more quickly
in the presence of coffee or cocoa; that
is, if the fats of butter are Influenced
in way similar to oleine. 4. That
the use of coffee or cocoa as excipients
for cod-liver oil, ETC., appears not only
to depend on their pronounced tastes,
but also on their action in assisting the
direstiO of fats.

Bustard Hunting in Russia.

IN ordinary winter weather the birds
take shelter beneath the nearest
underwood or brush; and at such
times the hunter may look in vain for
the bustard. But with an exceptionally
strong frost or a cold snap lasting more
than a couple Of days, comes the sports
mans opportunity. Then the poor
creature falls an cay prey to its enc
mles, or at such a time it IS subj ct to
a strange disability. The feathers Of
its wings freeze, a covering of ice forms
over them, and the bird Is unable to
rise. During the night the heavy frost
that prevails during the exceptionally
cold weather in Russia settles on and in
the wing-feathers, binding them togeth-
er. In this condition the bird seeks
the open, and passes its bcak through
It's frozen pinions to free them
from the ice. But if the heavy frost
continue a night and day or the bird
be prevented from leaving the brush
to free itself from the encumbrancc, all
form upon and overpower its wings;
the bird sinks from over-fatigue and
cold; and the fox and wolf-always on
the watch for this opportunity find the
bustard an easy prey.
Aware of this, the bustard hunters
know exactly what to do, and when to
look for their quarry. When an unusu-
ally severe spell of cold sets in, or
very keen hoar frost lasts more than
day or so, they make their preparations.
Horses are carefully rough-shod; for the
sport is pursued on horseback, and the
ground is as smooth and slippery as
sheet Of ice. Then in the morning not
too early, the party-four, five or six
strong, starts. Each one goes armed
with whip having a stout handle, and
a couple of lassoes; firearms are not
needed. The most promising feeding
grounds in the neighborhood arc of
course known to the sportsmen, and
they make for the cover nearest these
places. Now they beat the under
wood and brush, hallooing and cracking
their whips. The frightened birds rush
out and try to make for the open.
But the weight of their frozen
wings presses them down; the
feathers arc covered with ice; they can
neither rise nor run. They just waddle
here and there in a helpless ungainly
fashion. Crack! crack! go the whips;
and the birds nearest the horsemen fall
right and left, instantly killed by a
dcxterous blow on the head with the
whip stock, Out fly the lassoes, and
more distant biris are struggling in the
moose When four, five or six persons
take part in such hunt, few minutes
suffice to despatch fairly large number
of bustards; and then a move is made to
fresh ground, The bustarI, it is curious
to note, is the only bird of the steppe
that is liable to this freezing of the
pinion- feathers in severe weather; but
ducks are often found on the larger
rivers frozen to the ice by their legs.

there was some hope yet, He ordered
me to follow him, which l did.
"Outside of his lodge stood my horse,
saddled and bridled. and with all of my
belongings just as had left them. He
led me and ! led the horse down to the
edge Of the water, where were collected
all of the warriors of both sides and
their pom les. l was then informed that
l would be allowed to cross the river

horse scrambled up the bank my plan
