Eggs AS FooD.-Eggs are most invalua-
BILE food, for they contain all that is re-.
quired for building up and maintaining the
body. The white of an egg is almost pure
albumen and water, while the yolk, the
richer part, consists of albumen, with mi.
mute particles of oil in it, and small amounts
OF salts. Albumen, which is 81 carbon, II
hydrogen, 15.S nitrogen, 210 oxygen, and
l s sulphur, exists in the blood in the pro.
portion of seventy.fve parts to 1000, in less
quantities in the lymph ard chyle, juices
formed in the process of digestion, and in
trifing amounts in other juices of the body.
To supply this albumen IN the body it is
necessary to use ailments that contain 1t.
That group of foods, of which eggs are the
foremost, are called albuminoids. The
characteristic common to all is that they
contain nitrogen, an important element in
the body. Eggs, which are easy of dlges:
tion, both when raw and properly cooked,
are never too costly food per Sc. The
pure nutrlment in them is one-third of their
entire bulk, while that in beef is only one.
quarter and that of oysters one.eighth of
their respective bulks. So that, with eggs
at twenty-five cents dozen, round steak at
sixteen cents and mutton chops at twenty
cents pound, both food and money are
saved by eating eggs.

DR.. Francis Buckner was in court ct Gov
ington, Monday to answer to charge of an
assault on DR.. Warner, sp;rtualist med.
ium. Some weeks ago Warner took rooms
at Buckner's, and before the latter knew
what was going on had gained complete
control over Mrs. Buckner and tbs children
80 far as spirltuelism was concerned. Buck.
ner ordered Warner to leave the house, but
the wife interfered and he remained. Last
evening Buckner came in from profession
al visit and found Warner holding a seance
in his parlor, assisted by two women nam
ed Hughes and Shaw, of Chicago. Several
neighbors were present and the disem bodied
were making frequent visits 10 the room. A
white something that claimed TO be dead
sister of Mrs. Buckner was sliding about the
room.
1t was too much for the doctor, and be-
fore anybody realized what was going on
he had the something il his arms. 1t
yelled, but it was useless, and Buckner,
dragging it to the hall door, threw it forci-
bly, down the steps, when after the wraps
were removed it proved to be Mrs. Shaw,
Buckner caught Mis-. Hughes and threw
tention to DR.. Warner, Grst warning the
people in the room not to interfere. War
ner was knocked down and kicked, thrown
against the wall, and rolled under the piano
He was mauled on the head and pummeled
on the body. His nose bled, blood came
from his mouth, one eye was closed and his
clothing was remarkable for the variety of
rents 1t displayed. Finally Buckner stood
the medium up and kicked him out of doors
down the walk into the street.
Returning to the house, Buckner smash.
ed the cabinet and tossed Warmers personal
effects into the street, whore great crowd
had gathered and cheered the doctor as he
made spiritualsm wreck in the Buckner
househould. The two elected women had
returned to the house, but Buckner drove
them out, throwing their effects after them.
Warner next morning had Buckner arrested
for assault and battery and malicious de.
struction ofproperty. Warner presented
doleful appearance. One eye is closed, an
arm is in sling, and his face is disfgured.
The two woman who had appeared as wit.
nesses looked little better After hearing
Buckner's story the Judge dismissed him,
and told Warner he thought he got off east
ly. Warner claims that Buckner destroyed
500 worth of his property.

Much has been said about the adapta-
lions in nature to the wants of mankind.
Another point Of view shows the same
facts as evidence that man has adapted
himself to varying conditions Of life.
An exception to what is looked upon
as a general law is found in the distribu-
ton Of fish. It is observed that in the
warm waters Of the Nile, for instance.
6sh Of many kinds abound, but they are
all of poor quality. The same could be
said Of the fish in all warm waters.
Very few varieties are fit for the table.
Now it happens to be the case that in
hot climates the lighter articles of food
+ most in request. The system does
not need in the tropics the meats which
are so largely consumed in the colder
region. The sending of fish from Nor
way to the countries about the Mediter-
ranean Is one of the oldest branches Of
trade in the history of commerce.
Where the fish was of good quality
tho population was scanty, and, on the
other hand, where the population was
numerous the fish Vas poor. Is it not a
reasonable inference that both man and
fish have sought the portions Of the globe
where the conditions Of life were most
favorable to them respectiyely?-Youth

grammarians would object. He could
sit on the dogs tail IL the dog were will

well as the dog would howl And yet,
strange as it may seem, the mar might
set the tail aside and then sit down, and
neither be assaulted by the dog nor the
grammarians."
