Not man in hundred who uses
pepsin as an aid 10 digestion has any
idea where il comes from or how II Is
obtained. IL is really prepared from
the gastrajuiee found ia the stomachs
Of hogs, and the ability of the hog TO
digest anything and everything that
will pass down its throat is probably
what led TO the somewhat peculiar idea
Of concentrating the fluid which makes
digestion so easy In the porcine race.
Hogs that are kept without food or wa
ter for twenty-four hours before being
slaughtered yield an immense quantity
Of grastric juice, and correspondingly
Of pepsin. The fact that this al ticle is
so peculiarly procured and prepared
should be very comforting to those who
find 1t does not act upon their digestive
organs in the manner prescribed.

pigeons very seldom perched on the
branch OF tree, gave the following ex-
PLANTATION: You have heard that story
about gunner going 10 the woods in
search OF game, when TO his surprise
he saw twenty-seven wild pigeons on
one branch. He knew full well that
he could not kill them all with one
load, so he aimed at the branch and
every bird by the foot. After climbing
the tree, he took his penknife and cut
the pigeon-covered stick off and carried
il through a certain town. This story
has reached the hearing Of nearly every
pigeon, hence their dislike for trees.

II is impossible 10 fill a glass COM

such as water, milk or spirit, are at

around the brim, leaving hollow in
the middle. Hence cup filled TO the

why Delaware's boundary is circular.

The northern boundary line of Della
ware Is circular because the charter
given TO Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east by the
Delaware river from twelve miles dis
tant north of New Castle town until
the three and fortieth degree of north
latitude, and that the southern bound
AIRY was TO be circle drawn from the
town of New Castle northward and
westward until the fortieth degree of
north latitude and then by q straight
line Westward This makes cirru-
lar boundary for Northern Delaware
unavoidable, and the facts above set
forth explain geographical curiosity
that has puzzled many students.
