The ChopsticI1s.

''They cut their food with their dag
gers, and they eat with pitchforksn'
cried the Mortified japanese who first
saw Europeans eating in such a bar
barre and revolving manner with the
knife and fork.
Light-fingered, deft and initiative as
the japanese and Chinese are, it takes
them as long to learn the proper and
graceful use of the knife and fork as it
requires for US to master the evolu-
tions and etiquette of the chopsticks.
1t is a pretty sight, at the beginning
of a japanese feast to see the host help
his guests to sweets, as then is dis
played the best and most graceful play
of the chopsticks. One can take a
lesson, as the master of the feast daint-
lily lifts cakes or confections and places
Chinese chopsticks are longer than the
decorated, and are used again and
again. Mandarins carry their own
silver-tipped ivory chop-sticks to a
feast, wipe them clean, and carry them
home again when it is over. In the
common restaurants in Chinese cities,
the chopsticks constitute lottery for
Tie patrons. AL GnC SUCKS are Kept To-
gether in a deep, round box, and GER
tain ones are marked on the lower end
with Chinese character or number.
The ones who select these chopsticks
from the box, are entitled to an extra
dish or portion without charge. In the
old city of Tien-Tsin, particularly, one
is half deafened when he passes a
restaurant by the rafting of the boxes
of chopsticks and the shrill voices of
the proprietors screeching the merits
of their establishments at the top of
their lungs.
In Japan, where exquisite neatness
and daintiness mark every part of
household living, the same chopsticks
are used only once. AT feast, or at
an ordinary tea-house, a long paper
envelope laid beside ones bowl con-
tains a pair of twelve-inch sticks no
thicker than lead pencils, Whitfield from
clean white pine. To show that they
have never been used the two sticks
are whitfield in one piece and split apart
only half their length. Runa71aah

Unraveiing Ciphers.

Communications in cipher are not so
secret as many persons suppose. The
London correspondent of the Liverpool
Mercury writes: Nothing has amazed
the Times people more, l believe, than
the discovery of the secret cipher with
which they communicated with George
Kirby in America when Mr. Kirby was
engaged in negotiating with Sheridan.
1t was an alphabetical cipher, and was
so very cleverly constructed that it
seemed to defy detection. But Mr..
Labouchere once declared that he would
unravel any cipher that was put before
him, and Archbishop Walsh is quite as
clever at this kind of thing, it would
seem, as Mr.. Labouchere. Ciphers, in
fact, are not very difficult to detect.
On one London paper, for example,
every advertisement which goes in in
cipher is read before it appears, and
the work is not. rs rule, found to be
very difficult. There is sometimes great
amusement in the unraveling of these
presumably secret methods of COM
munication."

Wood as Food.

Probably no modern science presents
wider field for speculation than that
of chemistry, and more especially, per-
haps, that branch of the science which
treats of organic compounds. Since
the day when Wohler overthrow the
notion that organic substances were
exclusively the products of the opera
ton of so-called vital force by his
discovery of the synthesis of urea, q
great number of bodies, hitherto OBJ
tanned only in Natures laboratory,
have successfully been built up, as a
result of a careful and most minute
study of their exact nature.
The discovery of the preparation of
substances by artiffce, more particular
ly the dyes, has, as matter of course,
Influenced very considerably home and
foreign Industries. What shall be said,
then, when chemistry promises to solve
hard problems of political and social
economy? In an address delivered ut
Heidelberg, by no less eminent an
authority than Victor Meyer, it is an
nounced ''that we NAV. reasonably
hope that chemistry will teach us to
make the fibre of wood the source of
human food.n What an enormous

this becomes possible, in the wood of
our forests, or even in grass and straw.
The fibre of wood consists essentially
of cellulin. CO, H10, O5. Can this be
made to change into starch? Starch
has exactly the same percentage COM
position, but, as every one knows, it
differs very much in its properties, and
the nature of its molecuie is probably
much more complex. Cellulin is of
little or no dietetic value, and it is not
altered, like starch, in boiling water.
1t really gives glucose when treated
with strong sulphuric acid, as is easily
shown when cottonwood, which is
practically pure cellulin. is merely i'm
mersed in it. Starch gives the same
product when boiled with weak acid.
The author fugther quotes the re-
searches of Hellrigel, which 90 to show
beyond dispute that certain plants
transform atmospheric nitrogen into
albumen, and that this process can be
by suitable treatment. The
production, therefore, of starch from
cellulin, together with the enforced in
crease of albunen in plants would, he
adds, in reality signify the abolition of
the bread question. 1t must be borne
in mind, however, that theory, fascinat-
ing and promising thought it may be,
is not always capable of being followed
up by practical result. t.-LonLon Lam

in Upper Egypt, is now exhibited in
the South Kensington Museum. From
the likeness of its oruamentation to that
of the hangings shown in wall mosaic
at Ravenna representing Il corridor iii
Justinian's palace, it is generally ac-
cepted as work of the sixth century.

horns on ship. Some felt no trouble
at all and behaved like human beings,
making fun of their less fortunate

The laws of health are taught in the
schools; but not in way to be OF much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily he done. If some scholar,
who had just contracted cold, was
brought before the school, SO that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
it's significance; see the thin white coat
ing on the tongue and later, as the cold
developed, see the profuse watery expec-
toration and thin watery discharge from
the nose, not one OF them would ever for
get what the first symptoms of cold
were. The scholar should then be given
Chamberlain Cough Remedy freely
that all might see that even severe cold
could be cured in one or two days, or al
least greatly mtigated, when properly
treated as soon as the first symptoms ap
pear. This remedy is famous for its cures
of coughs, colds and Group. 1t is made
especially for these diseases and is the
most prompt and most reliable medicine
known for the purpose. Fifty cent bottles
