Salt as an Article of Diet.

The importance of salt as an article Of
diet. according to a scientific writer, is over
rated. A continued use of large quantities
of salt will produce scurvy. The popular
belief that an appetite for salt rs universal
among the lower animals is without anv
foundation in fact. Dogs, cats and other
carnivorous animals show no foudness for
it. and the same is true of the fruit-eating
ANIMALS. Even herbivorous animals do not
eat salt regularly with their food, but only
at long intervals, which suggests the
thought that perhaps they take it as a
vermifuge. In certain parts of the world
where salt is unknown antelopes abound in
countless numbers, and in parts of Africa
where salt is abundant the antelopes show
no fondness for it. There are many in
stances in which hocks of sheep and herds
Of cattle have been reared successfully
without salt. In certain parts of Central
Africa salt is more scarce than gold, aud to
say that a certain man eats salt is to say
that he is very rich. Yet the people living
there have existed for ages and have en-
loved the best of barbarous health without
using of salt from infancy to old age. Salt
is not in use in Siberia as a common con
stituent of food, and the same was true of
the North American Indians previous to the
discovery Of the continent by the Europeans,
and for many years after, aud is still true
of the Panras Indians Of South America.

FUGACiOUS SCISSORS.
An Instrument Which Disappears in the
Most Mysterious Manner.

The apparently fugacious habits of scis-
sors have been noticed since the earliest
historic period, according to a writer IN
Golfers Once Week. They disappear
with celebrity and secrecy wholly without
parallel in the history of lost objects. A
woman is sewing and has pair of scissors
in her lap. She uses them, say twice, and
each time drops them again in her lap. The
third time she wishes to use them she can
not find them. Though she searches her
lap, her dress, her chair and the floor thor
oughly she can not find the slightest trace
of the missing scissors, and thereafter they
are never again seen by mortal eyes. Or
let US say that woman, in the verv act of
using pair of scissors, is called from her
work. She places the scissors carefully in
her work-basket, goes out, locking the door
of the room after her, and returns in ten or
fifteen minutes to find her scissors gone.
What is more remarkable about the dis
appearance of scissors is that once having
disappeared they are never again found.
You may lose a tack hammer or q comb, but
sooner or later you will find the missing
article behind some piece of furniture, but
pair OF SCISSORS once lost are lost forever.
That there is something peculiar in the
disappearance of scissors is virtually ad
mitted by women when they seek to pre-
vent the loss of scissors by means of
charms. For piece of ribbon, which manv
women attach to the handle of their scis-
sors Ito prevent them from being lost"
must act as charm, or elsewise it would
be valueless. How, in the name of science
and common sense, can the mere fact that
four inches of blue ribbon are tied to the
handle OF pair of scissors keep them
from being mislaid9 In point of fact it does
nothing of the kind, and in spite of the
woman's faith in the blue ribbon charm it
is absolutely useless. II, however, we as
sumo that the origin of thus custom was the
attaching of a bit Of witch-hazel to the
handle of a pair of scissors, we can under
stand it. The woman of the middle ages
had a vague belief that the disappearance
of scissors was due to the witches, and
therefore called in the aid of witch hazel
The modern woman, ignorant of the pc
culiar efficacy Of witch hazel, fancies that
any thing tied to pair of scissors win
keep them from being lost, and she prefers
ribbon to witch hazel because it is prettler
and more convenient.
