urers. of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain showing of their

under the application of the rule for

Asked to Go Backward.

Suppose some party should arise at
tributing the hard times among the
farmers to the use Of seeders and self
binders and thrashing machines and at
tempt TO convince them that to be pros
porous they must ''demonetize" all these
implements and again scatter seed with
their hands from bag slung over their
shoulders, 60 back to the cradle Or, bet
ter, to the sickle in harvesting and the
fail in thrashing. Would not the farmer
of today say that the world moves for
ward, not backward; that it is con-
stantly striving to Tighten, not to in
crease manual labor? Suppose some
other party should come into existence
,hat would bemoan the hard times, de-
clare that the use of railways is the sole
cause and demand their "demonetiza-
ton" and return to the freight wagon.
And yet it is precisely such retro
grade movement as any Of these sup
posed cases would be that our silver
friends are proposing. But no PROPOSE
ton to go backward, topick up discarded
tools, to add to the burdens Of exchange
will ever be accepted by the mass Of
men st. Paul Globe.

A Fable For Farmers.

ATiller Of the Soil, having occasion to
bring Water q long distance from a
Spring, used for that purpose Two-inch
Iron Pipe, which for many years sup
piled all the needs Of his household and
barnyard. One day an agent for Rocky
Mountain Iron Foundry came along and
urged the farmer to throw away the
Pipe which had proved SO satisfactory
and buy one 80 inches i'll diameter. II
perceive" he said, that your Present
Pipe is entirely too narrow for the
amount Of Water in the Spring. If you
will use our Big Pipe, you will have
twice as much Water as you get now"
ut is true, replied the farmer. that
my Pipe isssmaller than the Spring, but
as it now carries all the Water that rises
in the Spring, can't see how bigger
Pipe would make more Water. The
quantity Of Water delivered through a
Pipe depends good deal Oh the rapidity
Of the circulation. If I were to tear up
the Pipe / am using in order to put
yours in, it would cost me a lot Of
money for no purpose, and ! would be
SO much worse off. Iguess won't make
a change"
Moral. 1.-The agents Of the silver
mine owners are making big mistake
when they try to fool the farmers into
believing that the use Of bulkier metal
to measure values would double the
quantity Of wealth to be measured.

on one rope. He seemed kinder hurt
about it. as though he thought there
was some trick in it. We tried to ex-
plain to him, and encourage him to try
it again, and next time to jump on
sooner. But he wouldn't; leastways,
not on the fall.
"But he'd jump onto the other parts
of the tackle and ride them down,
KNOWN that if his ride stopped before
he got down there were plenty of ropes
close to him to climb down on. One
time, though, he warn't lookin' out for
his tail, and it got dragged into the
lower block. He let out an awful
screech, and we Stacked away till he got
his tail clear; but he'd never ride down
halliards after that, though he'd stili
help us on the yard.
sBimeby, as he got bigger, he got too
strong and ambitious, and his claws
made little holes in the sail. That
wouldn't do, and yet we didn't like to
discourage him workin'; he was a real
help on the yard. So the mate got a file
from the carpenter, and filed his claws
blunt, but he filed of too much, and next
time Quartermaster started to go aloft
he only got about six ratlines up. He
couldn't hang on.
fHe tried it again, but it warn't no
use; he had to give it up and went right
aft and below. He stayed down a whole
day. and then came up and walked
round Iookin' SO pitiful and discouraged
like that we felt sorry for him.
There wasn't a maa of us who
wouldn't ha' been willin' to mend that
sail in his watch below just as fast as
that cat could tear holes in it, if we
could have him aloft with us again, and
the mate was willin' to file the
stumps sharp again, but Qnartermaster
wouldn't let him. The poor critter knew
what the trouble was, and wouldn't
never so near the mate again; but he'd
sojer round among US, and whine and
hold up his paw. SOS we could see what
kept him on deck when he was needed
aloft.
we hoped they would grow sharp
again, and perhaps they would in time;
but Quartermaster wouldn't wait for
that. He felt himself disgraced and no
use aboard at all; and he moped round
and got thin, and one mornin' we found
him curled up under the wheel-boxdead.
He just died Of a broken heart, nothin'
else.
'We buried him that day like a sailor.
/ tell you, we all felt bad, and the mate
cried. The old man swore that if that
cat had lived he'd have put him on the
articles next voyage and rated him able

Faots Of Interest to Those Amicted with
Dyspepsia.

- IEH
Facts Of Interest to Those Amicted with
Dyspepsia.
One Of the most fruitful causes of
siarchy indigestion is insufficient masti
cation and i~nsalivation. We live in an
age of nervous hurry, and have ceased
to take sufficient time to eat d~ecently.
We rush through our meals as though
everything depended on the rapid dis
position of the food. Restaurants bear
the sign: Five Minute Lunches and
railways announce: sTen minutes for
refreshments" Dry foods which can
rot be swallowed readily are washed
down. This practice relieves the sali-
vary glands of their proper work. and
ktarchy Indigestion is ooner or later
likely to give us trouble. The efficiency
of after digestion depends largely upon
the thoroughness with which the food
is chewed and mixed with saliva. No.
amount of pepsin taken as q medicine
will compensate for the lack Of this.
Therefore, / say, what has already been
implied-thoroughly chew your food.
This old admonition has been repeated
so often that it has become a platitude
observed as often in the breach as in
the fulfliment. Undoubtedly this is
due to the lack Of a proper sense Of the
Importance Of m~astication and insaliNa-
ton. Now that my readers understand
the proper relation of these acts to the
whole process Of digestion, let us hope
that the suggestion will be observed.
Flesh bread or any food which il
Ept to form into a doughty or gluey a
IS i~mpervious to the digestive juices and
should be avoided.
The diastase of the saliva is incapable
Of changing starch to sugar if either
the starch is uncooked or the saliva not
alkaline. breakfast foods and other
starchy cereals, therefore, should be
well cooked, and vinegar pickles should
be sparingly used or salivary~ digestion
will be impaired.
The thinner the gastric juice the more
rapid and efficient will be the digestion
Of meats and other proteins. The pres
ence of digested food in the stomach
binders the action Of the gastric juice
on the undigested portion. Digested
food should therefore be removed as
quickly as possible. Nothing accom-
plishes this so well as water. Hence il
is good to drink plenty of wafer with
our meals. Don't wash down the food
with it. Swallow the food and then
drink as much water as you like. It
do no harm. I wish to emphasize this
because / believe the prevailing notion
is that little or no water should be
drunk at our meals. This error has
probably arisen from a misunderstood
ing or misstatement of the Intended
advice not to take water into the mouth.
before the food is swallowed, as this
practice would certainly lessen the flow
Of saliva and hence impede DIGESTION

plugged her with a bullet; she thrashed
around some and killed one kitten with
her claws, but we got the other and took
him aboard for apet.
WELL we got to sea-, and the kitten
seemed to take to sea life first-rate.
Everyone petted him, and the mate
wouldn't allow anyone to tease him;
So, as he didn't get any fresh meat, he
didn't get savage. He had q good time
and made friends all around, and as he
got bigger would chase round decks
just as a common cat does when it feels
good.
some moonlight night he took a run
from the quarter clean forward and up
the riggin' half way to the fore-top;
then he couldn't get down, and yowIed
so pitiful like that one Of us went up
and got him. He thought that was
great fun, and did it again, and kepto d
doing it; but we couldn't be bothered
going after him every time. So one
night the mate says: Let him stay
there and get down himself So we
let him stay the whole watch, yowlin'
all the time, but no one paid any atten-
ton % him. Bimeby, Ion bout eight
bells, he stopped yowlin', and made up
his mind to try it himself, so he hitched
and scrambled and managed to get
down all right. Then he walked aft,
kinder dignifed like. We thought he
was sore on us for neglectin' him so,
but he wasn't; he was only proud of
what he'd done. and q little stuck on

was new to him, and he yoygled al
though askin' as TO wait. Course we
couldn't wait, but went on ap; and
Q-uartermaster Thought 80 over. lie
didn't know the way-she was wire
rugged aloft; he had to hunt around
for the running riggin' that he could
dig his claws into. But he got up to
'gallan' yard bout the time we'd fn-
ished with the royal and came down to
it, and sat down in the sings to watch
us He seemed to know just what we
were dom, and when we got done he
come down with us.
after that, every time he'd see us
,goin' aloft on the fore he'd go long,
too, and KNOWN the way now, he'd
always beat us up, and we'd find him
sittin' in the sings Of the to- gallant
yard, waitin' for us. But he'd never go
above that yard; he'd no use for the
royal at all, and if he found the to- gall
Ian sal wasn't clewed up to be furled
when he got up, we'd always meet him
comm down, looltin' kinder sheepish
like. Bimeby he got so he knew the
ropes a bit, and could tell if we were
Chewing up the royal or the top galIan'
sal; or else he understood the mates
orders, for he didn't make no more
mistakes like that.
after he'd watched US tie up the
to- gaIlan' sal a few times, he took
the notion O. helpin' us. He'd brace
himself and dig his claws into the
sail, and hang on to what we'd pulled
up. Course he couldn't hold much Of
the sail in his grip, but he did his best,
and he seemed so proud of it, too; we'd
always pat him on the head and encour-
age him all we could.
Zone time four of us and quarter
master had rolled up the to- gallan'
sal, and were comm down. The
crowd below had tied a reef in the
topsail and were bowsin' it up, and we
all jumped on the haulin' part o. the
halliards and rode down with it.
"Quartermaster was puzzled, and
didn't know just what to do himself;
but finally he made up his mind to ride
down the h~alliards, too; so he jumped
onto the rope. 1t was great fun fol
him; but he waited too long, and ths
top sail was up before Quartermastel
got down, and it left him hangin' OF
