Heat In Digestion.

Eat all cold food slowly. Digestion
will not begin till the temperature of
the food has been raised by the heat of
the stomach to ninety-eight degrees.
Hence the more heat that can be inn
parted to it by slow mastication the bet
ter. The precipitation of large guam
tity of cold food into the stomach by
fast eating may, and often does, cause
discomfort and Indigestion, and every
occasion of this kind results in meas
urable injury to the digestive functions.
Ice-water drunk with cold food OF
course increases the mischief. Hot
drinks-Aot-water, weak tea, coffee,
chocolate, etc.-will, on the contrary,
help to prevent it. But eat slowly

The Frog and the Farmer.

A Frog who dwelt in a Puddle close by
the house of Farmer one evening over
heard the Agriculturalist vigorously
Praising the Notes Of a Nightingale
which sang from tree near by.
Loves Music, eh?' queried the Frog
of himself. "Well, being as he is good
Man and seems to be Built that Way,
I'll do my Best to make him Happy"
The Frog had not been singing over
two minutes when the Farmer came down
to the Puddle with big Tomato, and
nearly knocked his head off and yelled:
IF you don't shut up I'll fire the whole
garden at you"
ALAS! but is this my Reward FOR
Seeking to Make you Happy!" walled
the Frog, as he looked around for the
Arnica bottle to Battle his Head.
Moral: ''You must learn, +" replied the
Farmer, as he turned away, that while
there may be no great difference between
the notes of the Nightingale and the
Voice of the Frog, Man has been granted
the Privilege of Choosing Which he shall

A TOUGH CUSTOMER.
A Character Sketch from the Back
woods Of Eastern Kentucky.

A young Methodist minister, lately
equipped for business in his line, took Il
trip on horseback through Eastern Ken
lucky in search of place from which he
could distribute spiritual food to the
best advantage, when he encountered an
old fellow in field near the road digging
potatoes.
Good morning, old gentleman" spoke
the young minister with pious smile.
''It's not SIGH very good mornin', y
was tie reply, "but | guess it'll do ter
say how dy.''
"Where do you live, old gentleman:
"Don't yer see me?'
Eyes"
"Well, I'm livin' at present where ye
see me standin'. "
''How far is it to the nearest church
house?"
"Donno-never measured it from
whar you're standin'?''

formed as to admit air and light to
the building, and also to give diver
sity Of outline.
The tower, it is said, will be easily
visible from Michigan City, La Porte,
Aurora, Elgin, Waukegan and points
sixty miles distant. 1t will not be
built merely as a curiosity. While
it's design will be artistic, business
like consideration will not be lost
sight of, for within it will be run no
less than eighteen elevators, in addi-
tiOn to four main stair cases, which will
lead to 1872 offices, all in the tower
proper and above the roof level of the
building. Disseminating the termi-
nal bays above the tenth story will
prevent the throwing of shadows into
the lower offices and will develop the
element of progressive recessions from
base to pinnacle, which constitutes
an interesting feature Of the design.
The terminals, as the plan shows,
serve as buttreSses for the long arms
of the cross, which is the typical char
acteristic of the plan.
1t is intended that twenty-four
lodge rooms and public halls shall oc-
cupy the third, fourth, fifth, sixth
and tenth stories, the great drill hall
occupying the whole of one end Of the
tenth story, and measuring nearly
5000 square feet in area. The re-
mainder Of the building will be avail
able for business purposes. The en-
tire number of rooms available for
rental, exclusive of the halls and
lodge rooms, will be l, 100, and their
aggregate area will be over 250, 900
square feet, while including lodge
rooms and public halls, the area in
closed, exclusive of walls, partitions,
corridors, etc, will be $50, 900 square
feet. The design of the superstruct-
ure involves the use of riyeted steel
pillars and steel girders, immoyably
knit together at all joints, vertical as
we'll as horizontal, by steel or iron
rivets, and system of diagonal wind
braces of steel SO thorough and all
peryading that, REINFORCED by the
masses of masonry which will sur
round the pillars in the lower parts Of
the structure, there will be attained
that combination of masonry and
skeleton construction required for
successful resistance to the wind
strains to which SO high u building
will necessarily he exposed.
All the structural iron and steel
will be surrounded by non-conducting
ffre-resisting Enclosures; the filings
between floor beams and between pill
lars will all be of non-cOmbustible
material, stairs and elevator guides
and Enclosures will be of metal, hall
and corridor floor will be of mosaic,
and to the remotest detail of the
erection of this building it will en-
body, it is said, the best architectural
practice of the day and every adj
vance and improvement upon the
same that can be discovered before
the execution of the work.
