of human consumption which was put to +bo
 test.
 The man ate dish of it and the result
 was carefully watched. It was not what was expected. The mush upon reaching the stomach formed itself into mucilaginous mass, sort of oatmeal emulsion, so to speak, which adhered to the membranous lining of the sac. Through this coating the gastric secretions penetrated very slowly, and the process of digestion was correspond ingly retarded. Repeated trials produced the same conditions, showing that in this particular case oatmeal was 6 most undesir- able epigastric inhabitant.
 This is blow aimed direct at the institu- tions of nations. It is history how the can ny Scot thrives on his porridge; it is a step toward manhood when the English boy is permitted to have sugar upon his morning and evening dish of the same brawn-oiyine grain, while to banish oatmeal from Ameri- can breakfast tables is to overthrow a household tenet of long establishment.
 But single swallow does not make @ spring, and the conduct of one Gallic stom- ach need not be taken as crucial test for that principal organ of digestion in all man kind. Unfil proof be piled upon proof let oatmeal sit at our feasts, incono- elastic Frenchmen ad ininitum to the con- trary notwithstanding.

A DASH FOR LIBERTY.

Five Men Escape From Salem Jail.
 With Half an Hours Start Their
 Daring Attempt Proves Successful.
 SALEM, Mass, April 14.-W1lliam Marlow, E. A. Dennis, Felix Golding, P. J. Hanley and Thomas W. Flynn this morning escaped from Salem jail where they were imprisoned on charges of burglary. Marlow had been employed about the office and evidently knew where the safe-key was kept.
 These men did not go to chapel this morn- ing, hiding under their beds when the watch men passed their cells after the other prison CTS had gone. Marlow evidently obtained the outer-door key from the safe, unlocked the door, returned the key to the safe and the safe-key to it's place, before he left. He was the only one of the five attired in prison suit. He exchanged this for suit in the clothes closet, leaving his on the bed in his cell. He took two revolvers and $10O in money from the safe. The prisoners had half an hours start before their escape was discovered. Nothing had been heard of them this evening.
 Dennis was caught in hen house at Lynn tonight. He had one of the stolen revolvers in his possession. He was accompanied by another of the gang who escaped.

An American Girl and Royalty.
 

The dying King of Holland was one of the luminaries of that royal gathering in 1873. He had passion for music and for drink. An instance illustrating the awe produced by royalty on the average Eu- ropean is related in connection with a Vest tern girl of distinguished connections She was 8 fine musician, and while sojourning with relatives in hotel somewhere on Lake Geneva, used to play by the hour of an even- ing in the public reception room to the de. light of all who heard her. One night, while she sat at the piano, an elderly man approached, and, leaning on the piano, complimented her playing, asking if he might stay and listen. She was pleased at the attention, and consulted his tastes in her selections. discussing music in the intervals. A foreign woman, at near window, listened and watched eagerly. When the music lov- CT took his leave she approached the Ameri- can girl, and with evident envy, exclaimed: "He must have been intoxicated" "Wby, what do you mean" inquired the astonished amateur pianist. "Do you know who that is the king of Holland, incognito and he never would have condescended to address a stranger in such friendly manner if he had been sober" The prairie princess laughed and replied: "We are all peers of royalty at home" Tee King soon returned listening long and respectfully. The European suob, with her friends, could not comprehend the perfect indifference of the charming Ameri- can to the soyeriegn's attentions, which she seemed to consider her due, even from the King of the Netherlands
