"floater." Whichever way Jimmie turned
the egg, there was always shadow on the

LAS soon "a an egg gets a little STALE"
said Jimmie. "the yolk rises to the top,

A CURIOSITY OF LUNACY.
Periodic Recurrence of Mania, b.
Which the Patient Lives Three Live,

Periodic Recurrence of Mania Inv
Which the Patient Lives Three Lives.
From the Hospital.
There Is a special form Of mental disease
first described in France. whose definite
character Is given to 1t by its periodicity,
and hence 1T is called folie circulaire In 1t
there are three sections of the mental
circle that the patient moves in, namely,
elevation. depression and sanity, and in
this round he spends his life, passing out
OF one into the other. for 1t IL. when fully
established, very incurable disease.
The patient takes an attack of MANIA
during which he is joyous, restless, trouble
some, extravagant and often vicious. He
eats voraciously, sleeps little and never
seems to tire. His temperature is a degree
or so above the normal, his eye is bright
and glistening, he is enamored of the other
sex, he shows diminished self-control and
no common sense.
This lasts for a few weeks, or a few
months more commonly, and then he pass
es sometimes gradually and sometimes
rather suddenly into a condition of de-
preston. during which he is sluggish, dull,
looking differently, dressing differently. eat
Ing differently, fearful, unreliant and seldom
tary in habits.
This state will last a few weeks or
months, and the patient will brighten up
into what seems recovery. and is to all in
tents and purposes in his normal state.
This. again, lasts for a few weeks or
months. and he gradually gets morbidly
elevated. You find he is passing through
every minute mental phase and habit he
did at first; depression follows as before,
and then sanity; and this round of three
states of feeling, of intellect, of voiition
and of nutrition, goes on, circle after circle,
till the patient dies. He lives three lives.

Derivation of "Grass Widow

From the indianapolis News.
The phrase grass widow" or rather
grace widow" for the first has no foun-
dalton in feet, and is simply a barbarism,
or fungus, which has attached itself to
the English language. Grace widow" is
term for one who becomes a widow by
grace or favor, not OF necessity, as by
death. and originated in the earlier ages
OF European civilization, when divorces
were granted but seldom, and wholly by
authority or the Catholic Church.
When such decree was granted to a wo-
man the papal rescript stated ''Viduca
de grat1a," which interpreted is widow of
grace" In the law of the French 1t would
read "Veuve de grace" which in England
gives widow OF grace" or grace widow"
''veuve' being translated widow" In
this novel and exceedingly interesting pa
per, Judge Turpie also makes again pub
lie two important historical facts: That
the whole system of law in relation to
marriage and divorce originated In the
Roman Church, and that French was the
official language and court vernacular, not
only in England, but of Western Europe,
during this period of ecclesiastical ascen-
dancy.

Uses of Glucose.
ON the Chicago Times

From the Chicago Times.
Glucose is not as sweet as cane sugar,
but an addition of a few per cent Of the
latter viii make 1t appear as sweet. Most
Of the sirups sold throughout the land are
glucose containing 8 to 10 per cent Of cane
strip. Pure glucose is SO bland in taste,
free from the "twang'' Of cane strip. that
it readily takes the taste of any admix-
ture, and many a housewife has Won
dered how a Jarful Of honey could come
from the small piece of honeycomb float
ing in the honey. Maple strip is made in
the same manner by the admixture Of a
small amount of maple sugar. Gum drops
are mostly glucose.
The percentage of sugar obtainable is
from corn 10 per cent from wheat IS per
cent, from potatoes 10 per cent. While
this last percentage is small, the product
from each acre SURPRISES that of grains
so much that even at a comparatively low
price per bushel will make 1t formidable
competitor of grain for the manufacture of
glucose or starch, especially in regions
where surface cropSarefsubject to varia-

THE ENGLISH BREAKFAST.
Reason Why the Viands at This

Frorl the New York Times
The English breakfast Is a meal not un-
derstood by US. 1t may be served in the
dining room or in the library. 1t is moro
often ION CALI than en- famille, and there
Is a total absence. even In the highest cir
cles, of formality in dress or in service.
The viand5 are, for the most part, cold.
The English will tell you that this is be-
cause they have learned that cold meats
are more digestible than hot, and that 1t
Is vulgar to eat heavy meal early In the
preference to a combination of lazy serv-
ants and old-fashioned stoves, which rem
ders 1t difficult to get a heavy meal early

apt to be minced veal" or a few thin,
crisp slices of Irish bacon. These, with
new-laid eggs, invariably boiled or steam

etc, are placed on the sideboard AS no

Yawning as a Remedy.

From the New York Herald
Yawning, though contrary to the canons
of good society, is undoubtedly very bene-
fetal to the Individual. Muscles are
brought into play during good yawn
which otherwise would never obtain any
exercise at all, and its value as a sort of
natural massage Is considerable. The
muscles which move the lower jaw and the
breathing muscles OF the chest are the
first ones used during the process of gap
ing, then the tongue Is rounded and
arched, the palate tightly stretched, and
the uvula raised. The eyes generally close
tightly toward the termination of tho
yawn. the ears are raised slightly and the
nostrils dilated- The crack sometimes
heard in the ears proves that the aural
membranes are also stretched and ex-
ercised. something impossible by any pro-
cess but a yawn. 1t has recently been
recommended by some doctors that suf-
rerers from nasal catarrh should make q
practice of yawning six or seven times a
day and good results Will follow. 1t Is
also considered valuable in Inflammation
of the palate, sore throat and earache.

ries at regular intervals. Colonel c. J.
Murphy, who has done so much for Amer
lean corn abroad, Is interesting himself in
the introduction of cranberries on the con-
tinent.
Mr.. Riders most interesting and salts
factory experience was with the English
Jam makers. The magnitude Of the jam
business in that country Is astonishing.
One factory near Liverpool covers seven
acres OF ground and has a capacity Of
100 tons per day. This Is only one of
score Of establishments Of equal capacity,
while there are hundreds Of less size. The
British are Jam-loving and jam-eating
people. They may not know how to cook
cranberries. but they can beat the Ameri-
cans all hollow at making jam.
Well. the jam manufacturers would not
have anything to say to the Yankee agent
They had no time to grant the interview
requested, inaEmuch as they felt not the
slightest interest in cranberries. Neverthe-
less eight Of the most prominent of them
changed their minds and are now expert
mhehting with cranberries with view to
the production of jam for market. They
nave already learned how to make a cram
berry jam that is far better than any
American brand, and 1t is not unlikely to
fore long.
The cranberry grows wild in Doggy land
throughout the northern part Of the United
States and In southern Canada, as we'll
as In the marshes of the Atlantic coast and
the glades Of the Alleghenies as far south
as Virginia and North Carolina. 1t is
round also In South America. Its name
probably comes from the peculiar shape
OF the bud, which just before expanding
resembles the head and bill of a crane
hence, "craneberry," or cranberry. The
plant belongs to the heath family, and is
small hardy shrub with evergreen leaves.
The value Of the cranberry as food was
we'll known to the early American aborig-
lEes, who used 1t as a sauce for wild fowl
and venison. They introduced 1t to the
paleface settlers. gathering the fruit from
wild vines and enjoying a monopoly of the
trade. 1t was first cultivated about 1895
on Cape Cod, but until within the last forty
years II was grown on a very limited
scale. There are men in the business now
who can remember selling cranberrios for
$50 bushel. At present So a bushel is
considered fair price.
Early cranberry growers were beset by
many difficulties and announcements. Few
of them succeeded, simply for the reason
that thoy had everything to learn, and this
branch of agriculture demands exceptional
knowledge and Skill However, about the
time of the civil war some boys produced
enormous crops of berries, for which ex-
traordinary prices were realized. Money
was then plenty and speculation was rife.
Large amounts of capital were invested
In the new and promising enterprise. Most
Of the investors came to grief. their boys
proving total failures. In fact, from that
time until now failure in cranberry cul-
ture has been the rule rather than the
exception.
