Tho Vacation of tho nieh Man.

In view Of the fact that the vacation
habit is growing to be confirmed one
among the people of the United States, and
has already served to aid the early closing
movement noticeably and commercially,
it is somewhat surprising that the great
body of Americans as yet DO not fully COM
prehend the real lesson Of the doctrine of
rest. Many business men, who are fully
able to secure good four weeks Of real
idleness, take their families to tho north
shore or some other spot, within few
leagues of Boston, and go through mere
form of vacation; but they get little rest

Making Bread Out of Wood.

Two years ago Victor Meyer, the emf
nent author and lecturer of Heidelberg,
Germany, in a public address delivered
before the students of the university of
that place, said: Chemistry is the great
unraveler, the revealer of hidden mys-
teries. We may even reasonably hope
that ere long it will teach us to make the
fiber of wood source of human food. The
fiber of wood consists essentially of cellu-
lin; can this be made into starch? Hit can
the food problem Of the nations is forever
solved. Starch has about the same per-
centage composition, etc., wherever found,
but it differs very much in its properties,
and the nature of its molecules has always
been one Of the greatest enigmas to the
chemist. But a new era is dawning; we
are beginning to read cellulin molecules
hke an open book, and would not be at
all surprised to hear that some savant had
manufactured nice food from what was
once the most unruly element"
His colaborers took the cue and have in.
dustriously worked to prove the dreams oi
the master mind; and they have, if the
popular scientific writers,are to be RELIEF
upon, made cornstarch from cellulin and
bread from the chemically pure" starch
which is said to be more nutritious thar
that made from either barley or rye. II
this is all true to the letter, as we hope il

Cured all around us every day. A man
would step up to the ticket wagon to buy
ticket, and before he could get his change
back he would be attacked with cholera
and die. sold man a ticket to the
grand concert we gave after the big
show but he died before he had time to
pay me. Strange as it may seem, there
was one demented stake driver who want
ed to commit suicide because he had been
disappointed in love affair with Hindoo
snake charmer, and he wished night and
day that he would become sick; but no
sir, the cholera killed the man who slept
with him and every other stake driver we
had with the circus. This particular fel-
low grew fat.
"He afterward married the snake charm
er because there was nobody else left, and
soon rose to prominence in his new and
happy life by becoming one of the best
monkey tenders we ever had with the cir
Gus. At another time was quarantinet

A pisappointed Listener.

At concert held lately in certain vii
lage near Glasgow duet on the piano and
violin was being played when some gentle
men entered the hall. Among them was a
sportsman who evidently had not heard
much of this music before, for he stopped
at the door and listened attentively for a
few moments, and then, thinking that
each was trying to get to the end first, he
startled those near him by such exclama-
tions as:

Initiating Handwriting,

Mary e. Wilkins, the story writer who
sometimes visits Brooklyn and whose latest
biographer, Kate Upson Clark, is Brook
lyn woman, thinks it something remark
able that her handwriting varies good
deal and that it frequently resembles the
handwriting of the person whose letter she
is answering. Other New England women
say that their handwriting is initiative in
the same way. One might imagine that
these women never had learned to write
properly but the fact is that freakiness Of
penmanship is SO common that it is strange
that any one should think 1t unusual. AL
most any one who was brought up in a law
office before the days of the typewriter,
and who had to copy documents in several
different hands, will have noticed the vari-
alton either in himself or in some of the

way, SO far AZ the writer has observed, are
