The several climates of Florida, Colorado
and California have each been much pre-
scribed for sufferers from lung disease. yet
thousands of the natives in those States die
of this fatal malady. A far more reliable

the land. und one that can be used at home !;

world-famed remedy for consumption (or

en- Medical Discovery. Il is the only rem
edy for this terrible disease possessed of
such superior curative properties as to
warrant its manufacturers in selling it
under guarantee.

THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS.
A Description Based ON the Researches .
Noted Psychologists.

=
Noted Psychologists.
The process of digestion is not yet
fully understood. even by the most
learned Psychologists Experimental
| digestion differs not a little from nor
NAL digestion. In digesting meat in a
vessel. the pepsin, by means of which
the process is carried on, remains un-
i changed in amount, while in the stom-
ach the glands are pouring out fresh
supply.
Besides, as Prof Chittenden, of Yale
Unive .sity, says: 1T is always to be
borne in mind that the living alimen-
tary tract differs much from a glass
beaker, and that. in the living subject,
we have to deal with a complication of
| conditions not met with in artificial di-
gestion."
The digestive secretions are saliva,
gastric juice and the pancreatic fluid.
| The bile, which is sometimes reckoned
with these, simply neutralizes the
| acidity of the contents of the stomach
when they pass into the duodenum,
aids in emulsifying fat, and promotes
| the peristalic motion of the intestines.
The digestive principle in saliva is
called ptyatine. This substance
changes starch into grape-sugar. 1t
| is slightly alkaline, yet strong alkali
arrests its action. This is one reason
why bread which contains too much
soda is unwholesome. Acid impairs
! the digestive power of the saliva.
| which is greatly weakened. for ex-
ample, by an acid condition of the
mouth, which characterizes some forms
of dyspepsia
As the normal condition of the
stomach. after the proper stomach di-
| gestion begins. is an acid one, the d.
| gestion of starch Is arrested within
| about FIVE minutes after it reaches the
stomach. This fact suggests the i'm
portance of slowly and thoroughly
masticating bread and all starchy
| foods.
| A principle called diastase, obtained
from malt, nearly identical with ptya-
line, is sold by druggists. and is high
ly recommended by some physicians;
but by other physicians it is regarded
as wholly useless for the purpose for
which it is prescribed. since it is de-
| stroyed by the acid Of the stomach.
| The essential principles in gastric
juice are pepsin and an acid. The
normal acid is hydrochloric, otherwise
known as muriatic. The action of
| gastric juice is confined mainly to al
luminous foods. such as eggs. meat.
fish, peas, beans and cabbage. AL

! In some forms of dyspepsia acids OF
fermentation are found, giving rise to
intense acidity of the stomach. To
relieve this, many persons are in the
habit of taking large quantities OF
cooking soda. The relief is not only
temporary, but the evil is actually in
| creaS ed.
The pancreatic juice contains q
principle resembling ptyaline, but
much stronger than that substance.

cOwsoY RoPiNG MATCH.

A Contest in Which the Rider and His
Bronco Show to Advantage.
During the recent meeting of the
Territorial Stock Growers on the
reservation opposite this city, says a
Miles City (Mont.) special. there were
some roping matches of more than
ordinary interest
OF all cowboy sports. roping con-
tests are the most exciting and call
forth more skill and agility than the
man who has never visited the far
West can easily appreciate.
When a contest of this kind is ar
ranged a piece of ground is selected,
care being taken that it is level, and
free from any dog holes, rocks or
brush that might bring down a horse
while running at full speed and injure
both it and its rider.
A bunch of thirty or forty lively
young steers, full of grit, are then
driven up by three cowboys. two of
whom hold the bunch while the third
.'cuts OUT the animals one by one for
the contest.
Time-keepers are appointed, and the
first competitor comes forward on his
pony. He takes bis stand forty Or fifty
feet from the bunch, and fine picture
he generally makes, with his big white
hat, his spurs and his lasso. Then a
steer is cut out from the bunch and
started on a run.
At given signal the cutter-out pulls
up his bronco in the proverbial four
feet of space, and the competitor
dashes after the steer.
A sharp race follows, and the second
the cowboy gets near enough he swings
the rope above his head, takes careful
aim and circles it around the steers
horns In an instant the bronco stops,
suddenly bringing the steer to a halt.
Then the horse runs round the steer,
which is promptly thrown. The rider
fastens the rope to the horn of the
sad die and dismounts, leaving the
horse to hold down the steer. which it
invariably does by sitting down on its
launches and bracing itself with its
fore!egs.
The cowboy proceeds to tie the
steers hind legs. and the moment he
has it done his task is completed and
the time is taken. Each competitor
follows in turn, and the one making
the quickest time is proclaimed the
winner.

OF all the historical garments
which crowd the great museums of the
world none are more famous than the
s.gray overcoat'' and .'chapeau" OF
Napoleon /, celebrated in Beranger's
and Raffet's poems. and painted by
scores of aspiring French artists. At
a recent search through the archives
of the time of the great conqueror the
tailor's and the hatter's account for
some of these articles of clothing has
been found. and it appears that for
each of his '.chapeaux castor" he paid
sixty francs, while his ''redingotes

About Mules.

am breeder of mules, and I sci.
dom see any thing in your paper in ia
vor of this excellent farm animal. 1t,
perhaps, would do little good for me
to say any thing myself, for people
would say I had an interest. But ]
send you the following. which is from
the pen of careful observer. but not
from a mule breeder: The first cost OF
the mule is less than that of the horse.
He is able to earn his living at two
years old, and has eaten less than the
colt of same age. But as the horse
is not put to work until three Or four
years old. the odds are largely in ia
vor of his half-brOther, whose ances-
tors, on the sire's side. have always
lived on simple fare, and could make
meal on thistles, while the horse
could not labor without his grain and
fodder
The ass family has been noted for
centuries for longevity and hardness.
The mule will not eat as much as the
horse; is not so liable to disease. His
frugal living, and that of his ancestors,
may have something to do with that.
and also with the other fact that the
mule is not as nervous as the horse,
and not so liable to run away and dam.
age himself and smash up things gen.
orally. The mule can not do as many
kinds of work as well as the horse. II
never can be as pleasant a roadster or
saddlc-nag. For drudgery and heavy
work, the hardness and patient power
of the mule has no equal in the hands
of the average teamster.

years an owner of mules and horses,
gives his preference to mules for the
drudgery of farm work. One pair,
thirty years old, were particularly
serviceable, having outlived three gen.
erations of work horses, and while the
latter were often lame, or out of con-
dition, and sick, these mules never
were.
Another gentleman. who used mules
thirty years. testified that a large-sized
mule will not consume more than three
fifths to two-thirds as much food to
keep him in good order as will be nee
essary for horse performing the same
labor. The expense of shoeing a mule.

Biennial Report of Treasurer Thomas
to the General Assembly.
Special Dispatch to The Appeal
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. l0.--The bien-
NAL report of Treasurer Atha Thomas to
the General Assembly, was issued today.
1t gives full review OF the operations Of
the State Treasury for the two years end
ing December 20 last.
The condition of that department at
the close OF the period mentioned sshown
in the following summary: To cash TO-
ceived in the Treasury from December
20, 1886, to December 20, 1888, S3,69i,.
900. 81; by overdraft December 20, 1886.
S6i, $50 62; by amount paid out on Comp
troller's warrants from December 20, 1856,
to December 20, 1883, 80, 40S, 76l69 bal
ance in Treasury December 20, 1888, $751;
702. 06.
The aggregate OF receipts, 1904, 096.37,
amounts to more than the actual revenue
from all legitimate sources, and the
amount OF disbursements, S3,40S, 16l.69.
embraces many items not constituting any
part OF the expenses OF the State Govern
ment. MIR. Thomas refers to the increase
in the assessment OF the taxable property
OF the State for 1858, which is about S57,-
900. 600, producing in the next two years
an increase of about $3.50. 900 in revenue
from property tax, and says that IRON
these data and estimates il will be seen
that the revenues for the next two years,
at the present rate OF taxation, will
be sufficient TO pay all the current
expenses, including interest on the State
debt, and liquidate the present loan. The
last General Assembly made an appropri-
alton OF $40, 900 TO pay interest on the loan
account. For this purpose S3l, B55.S2 has
been expended, leaving deficiency in ap-
preparation on that account OF S2I, $50. 81.
