A GOOD DIGESTION.
Cheerfulness at Meals the Most Reliable

Remedy for Dyspepsia.
How many of you have ever con-
nected cheefulncss and merriment AT
meal times with Il good digestionp And
yet, not even good cookery has more |
pronounced effect on the digestive or
gans than happy thoughts and pleas
ant speeches while at the table. This
is strongly exemplified among my
friends, the Quinbys. There never
was a more jolly, or more healthy
family. Happiness and health beam
in every countenance from ruddy- faced
Mr.. Quinby who seems sort of per-
sonified chuckle, to the Growing,
dnmpled, year-old baby, Toddles. A
meal at their house is an episode never
to be forgotten-the merry quips, the
bad puns. which seem the funnier the
worse they are, the general air of con-
tentment and good nature, make an
impression not easily removed. Five
sons and five daughters, and all as
harmonious as birds in nest | was
going to say, but any one who has

At the house, by mutual consent

DOCTOR SCHLlEEANN.
Tho Wonderful Linguistic Achievements
Oi the Great ExcayatOr.

OF the Great ExcayatOr.
Doctor Schliemann, whose chiel
claim to fame rests upon his excaya
tions of the sites of classical Greek
cities, possesses in remarkable de-
gree the the ''gift OF tongues. In an
interesting account OF the struggles OF
his early life-he was born of poor
parents in Mecklenburg village-re.
Gently given at u meeting held in his
honor ut Heidelberg, the explorer de.
scribed the steps by which he became
an accomplished linguist.
He conceived strong desire to Learn
Greek from having, when shop-boy,
heard drunken man, who had beer
we'll brought up, recite some lines ol
Homer. In 1871 Schliemann. who had
betaien himself to seafaring life,
was wrecked on the coast of Holland,
and barely escaped with his life.
He then obtained a situation in al
Office at Apsterdam, and Immediately
set himself, though having little time
aud less money to pay teachers, tc
master the languages he was bent on
acquiring.
BY his own efforts and by his owr
method-which was boldly to begin tc
write a language, and when possible to
get friend to correct his productions
he learned English in six months,
French in another six months, and
passed on to Dutch, Spanish, Italian
and Portuguese.
Then he attacked Russian. which, o
course, gave him more trouble. bn'
brought it's great reward, tor it opened
to him the road to Russian commerce
In which he attained wealth OF whict
he had never dreamed.
After this he mastered Polish, Swed
ish, Creek ancient and modern, Latil
and Arabic. Though some of thes'
languages are, of course, scarcely mor'
than dialects of an original stem. tn
list is portentous enough to challeng
attention.
II is claimed for Cardinal Mezzofant
that he was master of about sevent
languages, but by many the claim ha
been disputed. Incidentally Docto
Schliemanu mentioned that he had no
vet done with excavations. He nes

Dangerous Food Preservatives

The French Committee on Hygiene
has lately brought the dangerous ma
ture of some food preservatives into
prominence. 1t has been well estab-
ished that digestion is only form Of
decomposition produced by certain
minute organisms which also produce
the other form OF decomposition which
we call decay. 1t must be therefore
evident that any substance which has
the power OF arresting decay may
seriously interfere with the normal
process OF digestion Hence, it is i'm
portant that in investigating the char
aeter of food preservative we should
look further than as to its absolute
freedom from what we call poisonous
properties. On these principles the
use of b. nzoic acid has been prohibited
in France For the same reasons sail
cylic and boric acids and the new anti
septic hydronaphtol have been prohib-
tied. The greatest caution should be
exercised in the employment of food
preservatives, and until absolute safe
ty can be guaranteed it would be as
well to stick to the old process of
Pasteurizing, which consists simply in
exposing food to such temperature
as will destroy germs. st. Louis

SEASONED BY LEAVES.


Good Way Of Increasing the Heating
Power of wood.
ANY one who ever cut stick for
budding and neglected to remove the
leaves knows how soon the bark shriv-
els and the life dries out of the buds.
The principle involved can be made
use OF to season wood very rapidly and
thoroughly without depending upon
wind and sun. If soft-wooded trees
are cut in August or September and
allowed to lie until the leaves dry, it
will be found that the wood is not only
nearly dry, but that there is heating
power to it that there is not to the
same wood cut in winter and seasoned
the usual way. Late in September l.
had a yellow willow tree grubbed out
because it was injuring The drain, The
brush and stems were piled. but ter
rife wind two days ago scattered the
pile over the lawn and was forced to
reptile it. In doing so the dryness of
the stems attracted my attention, and
| trimmed them out and saved them
for fuel 1t has rained most OF the
time since it was grubbed. with very

his wood burns freely and makes a
very hot fire. Several years since |

decay; whereas, ordinarily, poplar
will, when cut in winter or spring, be
half rotten in e ghteen months. Last
year in midsummer some dogwood
trees were cut and placed, without
| trimming on a wood-lot fence to mend
breach. In December the fence was
repaired and the trees cut into fuel.
| 1t was not only seasoned, but almost
as hard as lignum- vitae. The same is
true of two beech trees broken off by
the wind in August Last September
a large number of hickory and ash
trees were cut in this vicinity, the tops
being allowed to lie; the wood to all
intents and purposes is seasoned. l
! once asked Nebraska man why he
didn't cut his willow and cottonwood
fuel the year before instead OF burning
the miserable stuff green. He replied
that it didn't season in good shape; ii
either half rotted or lost it. life; be-
sides, he would lose one years
growth" He m ght have cut the tr, es
in September before the foliage had
begun to drop and thus got the growth
and had seasoned wood beside-ate his
cake and kept it, as it We're. think
careful experiments will show that
wood cut in August or September and
allowed to season by evaporation
through the foliage has a greater heat
! ing power than If cut at any other sea-
son and dried by wind and sum Is.

the daughter was in a critical condition
and the father was araving maniac. The

The report says: lowing to reduced
importation of pig iron in 1888. the con-
sumption Of that article in that year WAS
over hundred thousand tons less than
IN 1897. Our importation of steel rails
was also less in 1888 than in 1887.
THE shrinkage in our consumption OF
Bessemer steel rails in 1883, as compared
with 1887, was 100, 1913 gross tons. No
shrinkage in any branch Of our iron and
steel industries at all comparable with
that above shown in our production and
consumption Of Bessemer steel rails has
occurred since the collection of the
statistics of these industries was under.
taken. The leading cause Of this shrink.
ing was the great decline in the building
of new railroads In 1883. In 1888 we
built about TOO miles of new railroad,
whereas in 1887 we built 10. $50 miles.

in the southern states in 1883 over 1887
