The Value Of Condiments in the
Digestion of Foods.

The Value of Condiments in the
Digestion of Foods.
New York World
Pepper. salt. vinegar, piprikon, mus
tard and oil occupy place at almost
every table. With these are number
of com pounded sauces, such as tobasco,
Worcestershire and others of pro-
nounced pungency. While the purpose
which a condiment is supposed to serve
may be confined to the sense of taste.
he who first employed it had. back of
simple palatial qualification, an idea of
the comfort which was experienced in
the stomach after taking seasoned foods.
This comfort was an index of perfect di-
gestion and nourlshment and of epicur-
can satisfaction. Peppers and peppery
substances, salts, etc, were destined to
occupy a place III the history of
edible foods, a supplementary one,
it is true, yet not less i'm
portant than the position of executive
officer on ship which has captain in
command. The normal digestive fluids
furnish the means for disposing of
foods taken into the system. that is for
those which are of character neceS-
Sary for the actual nourishment of the
body. They do not. however. have
sufficient strength to use up superf1u-
Gus matters in their ordinary flowing.
A cOndiment stimulates the secretons
of the glands and lends such an activity
to digestive powers that there is re-
markable contrast between a cOndl-
mental and natural meal. Peppers
are not to be recommended to any great
extent, neither is common salt alone to
be advised. A proper mixture of salt,
pepper and celery powder makes a very
good seasoning with sufficient pungency
to secure what is desired in the way of
relish.
Pepper is simply general stimulant
for the digestive tract. 1t braces the
stomach. gives sense of warmth and
causes flow Of the digestive fluid of
the stomach. Mustard has somewhat
similar action, while salt and vinegar
serve he double purpose of supplying
the needs so far as saline matters are
concerned and rendering oleaginous
matters fit for speedy absorption.
ToDasco, Worcestershire, piprikon
and other sauces have many merits,
especially when one partakes of fish or
salads. A dressing is absolutely neces-
Sary for boiled or baked fish, and no
salad outside of the water-cress or cell
cry is fit to be taken into the stomach
without the stimulus to digestion which
the dressing furnishes.
Do not be afraid OF condiments; they
will not do you any great harm. If you
should, however, have an irritable liver
or too active kidneys, avoid red peppers
and mustard.

She must have been thinking of the
night after the football game.
Relax the body. Let it fall across
the sofa, just catching the sofa pillow
corner. Now let your arms hang limp,
+, feet the same. All, that's beautiful
faint. Any woman who can do that
we'll need never fear that she isn't a
picture"
"Do styles change in fainting?"
"Of course. Formerly an actress used
to fall on her nose or right ear with
force calculated to drive the remainder
of her lines out of her head. Now she
fades away gradually INTO unconscious
ness like the spirits in seance. Did
you know that the DelSarte system has
brought the science OF fainting to such
perfection that the real article can be
counterfeited so closely as to defy de
lection? When the principles of Del
sarte thoroughly control the individual
even the blood will leave the face, and
the cheek and lips and ears, even, will
blanch. But fainting gracefully isn't the
only thing women try to learn. There
are some society women who have act
ually taken lessons OH how to kneel
gracefully in church and hold the head
in a devout attitude"
But surely the fanting lesson is SEN
Sible, and no one could blame q woman
for wanting to understand it as an art.

and as long as women will insist in
dropping themselves in horse cars, in
shops and every convenient corner drug

the world to faint as pictureSQuely and
gracefully as possible.
The average faint, says writer in the
New York Record. shows woman in
anything but becoming attitudes.
Painting is not painful sensation at
all, and the most unpleasant portion of
the occurrence is the knowledge borne
IN on the victim with forty-horse power
pressure that she has not made exactly

The woman who appreciates this and
has real desire to look like a picture
the next time she has to succumD to the

Tae following story of man whom
all the world admired not SO long ago,
and whose rather romantic marriage we
ali still remember, is rather sad i'll the
light of the revelations of the last few
weeks. The girl who seemed to love the
intrepid old Frenchman SO deeply at
that time has helped to crown him with
shame in his old days.
Count de LeSSepS is about elghty-nlne
years old; his wife was tWenty-one when
he married her in 1863. His activity has
been prodgious. He worked, attended
to the duties of his high station, went
into society, took his wife almost nightly
TO balls and resumed his busy life at
daybredk. Every year he would go
TO Egypt with his whole family,
and it can easily be imagined What it
must have been to travel with family
of eleven children, sixteen servants and
a courier. Nine. de LeSSepS is of creole
origin. Her beauty bears the type OF

daughter OF Nj. de Bragars, MAO WAS
judge at the Island of Mauriliuo. The
following anecdOte, relative To her mar
riage with NJ. de LessepS, is known to
their friends alone: On his return
from Palestine, Nj. de Bragars had
brought back with him some
roses of Jericho for some ladies
of his acquaintance. M. de LesSepS,
who was one of the habitues of the
house, was present when the legend
about these flowers was related: Amy
one possessing these dried roses can, by
putting them i'll water and making a
wish, know whether it is 10 be fulfilled
or not. If, on the heXt day, the faded
flowers shall have doomed again, he is

young daughter, ARE you, too, going to

ut is useless, monsieur" the girl re-
piled, with sadness and emotion. "The
roses would not bloom again for me-"
"Whyw
Because my dearest wish cannot be
realized"
There was so much confusion and
evident feeling in this reply that NJ. de
LesSeps was struck, and set to thinking.

said, taking her hand, which she let

her 10 throw herself back into the char.
In fall, the body falls in the same
direction the feet take. We teach woman
to break the line at the hips and throw
the torso in the opposite direction, like
this. Stand up, relax the body this
side, relax the arms and head. There,
that's it. Now do it again and fall"

graceful. That's pretty good. That's
the exercise we give women first. Oh,
yes, have taught number Of women
to faint, and some of them were pretty
society girls. Try this now. l didn't
finish the chair faint. Relax the body
diagonally. Let your arm fall over the
arm of the chair and hang Imply. Now
your head will fall forward. A few
people stick out their feet and throw
their head straight back, but that is
shocking. Never do that"

OF course knees GO first, and when the

ANIMAL AFFECTION.
President JOrdan's Dog Waited
for Its Masters Arrival.


st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
AN instance of animal affection came
to my notice two years ago." said
AquiIla Flelschman. instructor of
physics in the University of Kansas
who stopped for a day at the st. James.
1T was Oh the occasion Of President
Jordan's leaving the state university of
Indiana, where | was then a student.
President Jordan resigned the
presidency of Indiana university
to assume that of the Lee
land Stanford Jr. university at
Pasadena, Cal. While president of the
Indiana university, DR.. Jordan secured
a tine Bernard pup and took good care
to raise it properly. The dog soon be-
came proficient in many ways under the
tutelage of DR.. Jordan, and seemed
fairly to worship its master. Nightly the
dog could be seen in the Bloomington
poStOtfice waiting its turn when the mail
for the president would be handed ont,
inclOSed III leathern pouch. With this
pouch the dog would tIot away toward
the residence of the president, and woe
TO anyone who attempted to bar its
progress.
"Dr. Jordan Oh leaving presented the
AtOS w L iolCooOl I1bItnOli, vi tllO COl-
lege. At first the dog was disinclined
to part with his master and upon meet
ing DR.. Jordfn in the street would turn
away from Prof. Hoffman and follow
after. Being driven away once OF twice,
however, it made no further attempts at
following him. On the occasion of the
Doctors departure Prof. Hoffman, along
with the other members of the faculty,
went to the depot. The dog journeyed
with him. 1t was here that DR.. Jordan
stopped and patted the cog on the head
and then entered the cars. The dog
watched wistfully for the temperance
of the good doctor, but in vain.
Shortly after this Prof. Hoffman noticed
that his dog was absent at certain
period in the day. The operator at the
depot also noticed the daily visits of the
GoG to the station on the arrival and de-
parture of the p. IN. train. Being in
formed as to whom the dog belonged he
sent word, and Prof. Hoffman, next
day watched the strange sight. The
dog came, expecting the return of its
former master, and waited patiently for
the approach of the train. AS the train
neared the depot it would prick up its
ears and observe the arrivals. 1t was
only when the train had passed out of
sight that the dog would depart. 1t was
really touching scene, and shows the
depth of animal affection"

mon of faints-an everyday tumble--but
the details were difficult. Sitting in
a straightforward chair, L waited for

actually commenced to feel the first
symptoms Of bona fide faint. When
madame began to sway, l swayed too.
Madame fell, and l plunged after,

skirts, draperies, fur rug and arms. L
crawled out of it and took view of her

Now, do better this time. Throw
the body in the opposite direction from
your feet, and don't double up like a
knife. Noww But it was no better.
Five trials didn't make any improve
ment. 1t would take month to learn
that. Painting and falling from chair
isn't my forte.
One hour would be all most women
could stand of such instruction. To
keep right along fainting for sixty min
utes is not even funny.
For the sake of women who really
need the information and may possibly
profit by it madame urged perseve-
rance.
But what can woman do in horse
car? or course she don't want to use
the shoulder OF strange individual for
a pillow"
Then she had better try to get out
into the air before she is too far gone.
OF course she can try to fall forward if
she really feels that modesty forbids a
strangers shoulder, but that's the hard
est to manage, after all.

USEFUL HINTS.

Now that the cold weather is here,
and colds, sore throats and all the other
attendant evils of our variable climate
are with us, mothers should see that
their children accuStom themselves to
the use of cold water on the throat and
chest. A vigorous washing and scrub
bling with cold water every morning,
followed by friction with coarse towel,
will DO much to prevent throat trouble
later on. A child should also be taught
to gargle the throat with cold water
every time 1t brushes its teeth.
The list of people whom she felt
obliged 10 present with Christmas Of

her time and strength was limited, she

eighteen obligations.
