Digestive Action of Vinegar.

A health writer discussing tho effects oi vinegar on digestion says: ''The micro scopists have discovered that the ccls in vinegar sometimes take up their abode in the alimentary canal us parasites and be. come n source of irritation and disturbance to the digestive organs. And now, ac- cording to Nirchow's archives, they have been investigating the influence of acids upon salivary digestion, or the conversion of starch into sugar, and the fact has ap- pearcd that acetic acid, connected with tartaric and oxalic acids, very materially flinders this portion of tho digestive proc ess.

Tho Facts the Other Way.

1t has lately been stated that some
years ago Prince Bismarck was anX-
ious to induce the Duke Of Edinburgh
to surrender his right to the SAKE
Coburg) succession i'll consideration
of a pecuniary indemnity, This
happens to be just the reverse of tho
truth. If Prince Bismarck had really
entertained such wish, the Duke Of
Edinburgh would practically have
mad no alternative but to acquiesce.
As g matter Of fact, however, it was
Duke Alfred who desired to sell the
reversionary interest of himself and
his son, and in 1876 the queen went
TO Baden Baden and had confel~
ence with the old Emperor William
in the hope of being able to arrange
satisfactory terms. After great
deal of haggling the negotiations
fell through because the duke stipu-
lated for sum paid down, whereas
the German government would give
him only liberal annuity, But
there was no anxiety at Berlin to
conclude the transaction. london

A SONG Or -.-....

Lilo and death, and the power Of love. and the
strength OF laughter;
Music OF battle, and ships that sail away to
the west;
All that hath gone before and all that follow
eth after:
Tho mad, blind struggle for gold and the
restless seeking for rest
Tho brain reels round with them all, and wea-
riness is their name
Come to the long, low moorland and hear,
Gre the winter win it,
Where the broom, like n sunlt beacon, flashes
In golden fame
The music Of wind and water, Of the Ice and
the mountain linnet.
heather about us;
Ear on the dim horizon the white sails gleam
in tho haze.
One Is the dream within and the song that is
ours without us.
The Joy OF the sun stepped present, struck
free from the whirl of the days.
Harkl how she sings In the fern a passionless
song Of content,
The " ron. now hanging moment where the
foIglove's bells are shaken.
Now BY the waters edge the iris bowed as she
went
Weaving hor melody out Of the sweets by the
way she has taaen.
Sing, lttle bird in the willows, low by the edge
OF the river,
A song that ripples and leaps a. the waters
leap In spring.
The wind breathes low in the grass where the
threads Of the gossamer quiver.
And ali the hunit moorland is silent to hear
you sing.
Sing that life Is glad, and fair are the land and
the sea.
The woi.ders Of stars in the night, and the
noontido's golden glory.
Ours Is the Joy OF tho present; We care not
what IL TO be,
Aud tho past Is dim as ~ dream, or u half ~
