EFFECTS OF VINEGAR.
An Interesting Paper by DIR, Kellogg, Of
the Michigan Sanitarium.

According to exhaustive experiments
of DR.. Roberts, of England, and others,
vinegar has the effect to delay diges-
tion, the4ame as alcohol. Vinegar is
an antiseptic, and any substance which
is a preventive of change and decay
must have tendency to prevent or de-
lay digestion and disntegration of food
particles The process of digestion is
due to vital action of the cells of the
stomach, and vinegar is hindranco to
their work. Another fundamental fact
is that any substance which is formed
by germs in the process of decay and
putrefaCti2n, as vinegar is formed, is
poisonous. Nature has arranged that all
germs make a poison which is self-de-
structive. That is why various kinds Of
fermentation cease after a time. Alco-
hol itself destroys the very germs which
produce it, and the same is true Of acetio
acid.
Now, as to the effect of aCetiC acid on
the stomach. 1t is familiar fact that
the microscopist always keeps a bottle
of vinegar handy in his laboratory. II he
is studying tendons or tissues and wants
to know how many varieties OF tissue are
contained in the part under cOnsidera-
ton, he applies acetic acid to it. because
it has the property of destroying the
firmness OF the hardest portions of the
body, except the teeth and some bones
and thus he can make such separations
as he desires There is no doubt but
vinegar has a softening effect upon the
mucousmembrane of the stomach, and
that it is in this way exceeding
ly harmful. This is probably what
makes vinegar cause a loss of flesh.
Some young ladies, who want to
look pale and interesting, drink half
glass of vinegar every morning. Vine
gar is more active poison than alcohol,
and if taken in the same quantities
would doubtless be more damaging to
the system than alcohol. Yet so many
people think no salad is complete with
out vinegar and that it must be on tho
table constantly for other uses.
Lime juice and lemon juice are excel
ent as substitutes for vinegar. These
are food substances, and not the results
of decay. and are perfectly harmless

ALL ABOUT SNORING.
The Cause of a DissgreeabIe Habit and
How TO Remove 1t.


The following is suggested to snorers:
There are two channels in which the air
travels in going to the lungs, namely
the nose and mouth. These two pas
sages unite in common cavity, and
from that point there is but one tube
leading to the lungs. There is bone
called the hard palate, which forms the
roof of the mouth and the floor of the
nose, separating these two air channels
ftom each other. At the inner or
posterior end of the bone is a
little body called the soft palate,
made of muscle and covered with
delicate skin. This soft palate
is attached at one end to the hard
palate; the other end hangs loose, and
moves or flaps in the act of breathing;
something like window curtain when
acted upon by current of air. This is
its condition while we are asleep or
awake, though during sleep it lacks in
tonicity, being much more relaxed or
flabby than when we are awake. Now
in order to snore, one must keep the
mouth open as we'll as the nose, and in
this condition the two currents of air
passing in and out together during the
act of breathing catch this little curtain
between them and throw it into rapid
vibration. This vibration, more or less
intense and sonorouS, is what we call
snoring.
1t is only with the mouth open that
snoring can be accomplished during
sleep. Awake, if the nose is closed by
the thumb and finger by taking a for.
chile breath, it is possible to snore, and
the same result may be accomplished
with the mouth shut and the nose open;
but the muscular effort necessary to
its accomplishment is more than we can
command during sleep, and would wake
up the person who might unconsciously
make the effort.
If the mouth be closed (the natural
condition during slumber) but one cur
rent of air will pass to and from the
lungs The current, pressing about
equally upon all sides of the canal, will
press the soft palate forward and down
ward until it is applied to the tongue,
and will hold it there gently thus pre-
venting any sonorous vibration. 1t fol-
lows that any device which prevents
the lower jaw from dropping down dur
ing the relaxation of sleep, and opening
the mouth, will shut out the one unnat-
ural current of air and prevent snoring

Wedding Rings for Husba n dis.

Among other pretty ceremonies and
customs originating in romantic old
Germany is the fashion for the husband
to don a wedding ring as we'll as the
wife, and it is becoming quite the proper
thing for the wife to present her hus
band with souvenir of the wedding
day in the shape of ring. The broad,
pl ain band with its date and inscription
of tender words, is still sacred to the
wife, and the husbands ring is simple
cord of gold more or less heavy, twisted
in to true lovers knot and worn upon
the finger which women have long con-
sidered the wedding finger. AS time
progresses husbands may become OF
some account in the wedding ceremony
besides necessary adjunct to the
BRIDES splendor and Importance and a
due bill for the priests reward. Already
bridegrooms' presents are occasionally
found among the teaspoons and neck-
laces, and now he is to be honored with
a token of the nuptial pledge.-N. y.

HE MEANT WELL.


Humane Intentions.
On Grand River car the other day
thirteen women and two men, and one
of the latter, who was short and fat and
fussy, suddenly laid down a paper he
had been reading and stood up and said:
''Yes that's so-that's so. perfectly
agree with him. Yes, ladies, it is my
opinion that every one of you ought to
swim"
All looked up in half scared way
and the man continued:

YOU were on steamboat and the bot
tom dropped out of the durn critter, and
what was left of it went under, where
would you be? You'd sink like so many
cobble stones But suppose you could
swim? You'd simply kick off your shoes
and start for the shore, and every
blessed one of you would -"
Here the conductor entered and whis-
pered to the man, who followed him
out, saying:
"But women orter learn to swim-ot

conductor.

could swim they'd have more confidence

But the conductor helped him little
and he dropped to the street, and as the
car left him he walked after it and said:

Little has been written of the locomo-
i've fireman. Like the newspaper re-
porter, his identity is sunk in the great
ness Of his machine and the prominence
Of his superiors. He Is seldom heard
from unless he neglects to jump at the
critical moment and his name appears
in the lists Of the dead or wounded. A
passing notice is all he receives until he
serves the full period of the slavery of a
locomotive gangway and moves from the
freman's box on the left of the cab to
the engineman's box on the right, and
then he is fireman no longer.
Few Of the travellers gliding across
the country in comfortable passenger
coaches give a thought to the motive
power that enables them to visit two or
three States in day. They can not
realize that there is any severe labor
attached to the trip. They see the
neatly-uni formed conductor who leisure
ly threads the aisles, the indolent brake
man lounging from one end of the train
to the other, and the white-jacketed
colored porter, evidently not suffering
from overwork. These visions do not
give the traveller any very vivid i'm
preston of hard work. But while they
are appearing and reappearing there is
one man who is learning his bread by
the sweat of his brow" and that is the
hreman. Dirty, begrimmed and greasy
