Disestible FsOd.

Incidentally let it be noted that sailed meat
is much less nutritious than fresh. 1t has
been ascsrtained chemically that brine eX-
tracts from the muscular tissue much of its
nutritive principle.
Dalton places next after beef, as being most
valuable as nntriment, mutton and venison;
then the flesh of fowls, the various kinds of
game birds, and lastly, fish.
The opinion of modern French scientists, as
presented in the article on food in the "Nou-
veau Dictioanaire de Medicine" may be
noted and read with interest. According to
this authority, Fish is only slightly nutri-
tive, but easily digsstible. Its exclusive use
would soon produce diminution of muscular
force, paeneSs of the tissues, and all the signs
of an Authorization insufficient in quality.
Fish is more digestible than the white
meat of fowl.
The flesh of Shellfish crustaceans is hard
of digestion.
Roast meat is more digestibe than boiled.
Eggs very slightly cooked and dairy pro-
duce are more digestible than white meats.
"Of vegetables the feculents are the most
dgestble.
New bread is heavier than stale bread.
The ailments to which the cooks art gives
ignid or semi-iquid form are in general
more digestible.
The more readily an aliment is dissolved
by the juices of the stomach, the easier its
digestion"
Add to these facts the remark of Dalton:
Cheese contains the nutritious elements of
the milk in a condensed but somewhat indi-
gestible form"
Nevertheless, you will eat a little cheese
after your dinner; for, as Brillat-Savarin
hath it, "A dessert without cheese is like
beautiful woman with only one eye"
OF the vegetable tribe, lentils beans and
peas are the most uourishing.
Fruit, when perfectly ripe, is most easy of
digestion, because the juice of fruit consists
OF pure grape sugar tglucoSe) and water, and
it is in the form of grape sugar that all
starchy food is finally absorbed into the sys-
tem.-Harper's Bazaar

He Works by the Bell.

On Diamond street last Sunday, when all
the swells were rolling out toward the park
behind their speedy trotters a sallow faced
young fellow got into his buggy near Tween.
tieth street, and taking the reins in his hands
cautiously pulled little bell twice, and the
horse started off Some of his friends are all
wondering where he got the horse, which Is
a fine animal, but has curious tricks One of
them who knows tells very funny story
about it.
1t seems that the young man went out in
the country a few months ago and while there
saw the horse and purchased it. A few Sun
days ago he hitched him to a buggy and
started out with his best girl for a drive.
They managed to get as far as Diamond
street, and then, for some unknown reason,
the horse refused to move. The young man
was in an awful quandary. He whipped the
horse until his arm was tired, and then he
got out and tried to lead him, but the animal
was obdurate
The girl got out and walked away in high
dudgeon, and the crowd which had assem-
bled enjoyed the situation hugely. 1t took
about four hours to haul the animal to the
stable, and the next day the young man was
out to see the man who sold him the horse
I'm, mes all rlgnC, salu the dealer, Out
you don't know how to work him He's been
hauling a car all his life, and won't go unless
he hears the bellp'
Ever since then the young man has had
regulation car bell on the dashboard of the
buggy. When he wants 10 start he rings
the bell twice, and one ring brings the beast
to an abrupt stasdstill. But he still has
many difficulties to contend with. Thehorse,
remembering his early education, will only
stop at street crossings, and bag of oats
would not bring him to halt in the middle
of block. The other day the young man
went out for drive and got onto Ridge
avenue. When he tried to turn into Girard
avenue he found that the horse would not
turn out of the car track, and he was com

Simply because the pasture Is kept nearly

or three times week until growth stops in
autumn. Next spring the grass makes a re-
newed struggle for existence, starts early and
strong again. 1t lifts its blades to the sun and
air that it may push its roots into the rich
soil for moisture and sustenance. The effort
is promptly met by the lawn mower. Growth
is checked above and under ground; so
through an entire season and succeeding
years.
The law is that the root growth of the plant
is in proportion to its top growth; the root
growth is shallow. OF what avail is a deep,

Burial Customs of the Stone Age.

That the Stone age men had fixed dwelling
places appears from their often magnificent
tombs, which seem to point to the beginning
Of an organized society and the combined
industry of small community or Of a whole
tribe" These tombs are described as dol
MEMS" passage graves" and "stone cists
OF these the dolmens were the earliest; the
passage graves are little later; the uncov-
cred stone cists are later still; and the cists
covered with barrow belong to the time Of
transition between the Stone and Bronze
ages
During the Stone age" says Professor
Montelius, bodies were always buried I'M
burned in a recumbent or sitting position.
By the side of the dead body was usually laid
a weapon, a tool or some ornaments. We
often find in graves of this period earthen-
ware vessels, now filled only with earth. The
care bestowed upon the last resting place Of
the departed certainly betokens belief in q
future life; but the things placed by the side
Of the dead seem to show that that life was
believed to be merely continuation of the
life on earth, with the same needs and the
same pleasures" Offering stones, with little
cup shaped holes, are sometimes found on the
roof stones of graves Of the Stone age. They
are popularity called ''elf mills" and are still
regarded as holy; and, it is said, offerings
are still secretly made in them.-W. II. Lar
rabee in Popular Science Monthly.

A Phantom Photograph.

On Saturday afternoon Mr.. R. Cash, mas
ter of the Shirehal Board school, Ipswich,
and Mr.. E. R. Pringle, solicitor, were taking
photographs of the Clipping at the spot
where the oil mills once stood, and still
known by that name In the evening" how
ever, while developing this particular plate
in the dark room at his own house-Mr.
Pringe being still in his company-he was
perfectly astounded by an appearance which
he had never seen when taking the photo
graph, and for which he could in no way
account. On completing the development
there was plainly revealed in the foreground
of the picture the figure of woman, ap-
parently floating upright in the water, as it
is declared that drowned bodies will some
times appear after immersion for length of
time. Il cannot in the least explain how it
got there" said Mr.. Cash, when interviewed
on Monday, but here is the negative and
you can see for yourself"
And it can only be said that the woman is
Enthusiastically shown. 1t is no shadowy like
ness, difficult TO detect, nor does it require
pointing out before the lines can be traced,
as with the puzzle pictures so commonly
seen. The face and head are clearly out
lined, the arms are hanging straight by the

female attire and is visible to the waist, and
the portrait generally appears to be that of
tall and cOmely young woman. There is
nothing repulsive in the photograph, although
it looks weird and ghost like. The first idea
naturally suggested was that the photograph
ic plate had really detected a body which
was invisible to the naked eye. Unable to
account for the apparition, Mr.. Cash com
municated with the borough police, one of
whom was struck with the reality of the pict
ure that he at first imagined it to resemble
some woman in town, and inquired whether
she had lately been heard of. Next morning,
and very properly so, the river was dragged
at this particular spot, but no body was
found and so far, therefore, the climax OF
the narrative is happily left wanting. 1t is
Il perplexing mystery.-Two Worlds.

Heart Enilure.

The American Analyst thinks it would he
an excellent idea if physicians of the present
day would invent some other reason for about
all the deaths which occur nowadays than
the heart failure. 1t is difficult for any one
ronversant with the organs of the human
body to understand how any human being
can die without heart failure, while the causes
of the failure of the heart at death may be
very numerous. This might not be OF serious
moment were it not for the fact that hundreds
of people are being nearly frightened TO death
by the constant use of the cause for sudden
deaths, and many people who are sick, and
necessarily have some heart symptoms, are
kept in constant terror by reading or hear
ing in other ways of death after death by
heart failure. 1t would be well if physicians
who are too indolent or too ignorant to search
out the disease lying back Of the heart fail
ure to consider how mS,h harm they are do
ing the community, and if they cannot cor
rect the habit, newspapers and the public
should avoid giving currency to this I'M
founded and dangerous phrase. There are
probably no more deaths from heart failure
in these times than heretofore, but a new
cause for death has been coined, and the ner-
vous and timid are being severely injured

Everything went lovely enough until we
got out into the middle of the lake; the party
was wholly congenial and the fact that the
bass and pickerel kept frisking out of the
water all around us made everybody nearly
crazy to fish. As we moved slowly along we
brought out the split bamboo rods, the silver
reels, the silk lines the nets, and all that sort

TWO MEETINGS.
Love met me on a day

Love met me on a day
And Love was weeping;
'Why weep, sweet Lover said;

Saying. For Loves decay,
For hearts that are old and dead,
III worth the keeping"
But while he spoke spied
A wicked arrow peephg
From the culver at his side,
And when stopped TO kiss him,
Before could caress him,
He seized the tiny dart,
And threw it at my heart;
Then, like lark In May,
Fluttered and flew away
Love met us on day
And Love was gay:
We'll met, sweet Love" we said
He tossed his golden head
Like little child in play;

For not all hearts are dead.
Not all are old and cold;
