Sixea and SeXenA.

"At skies and sevens" is an express
sion borrowed from tho old time
needle makers. When needles were
finished, they were thrown into box
and afterward sorted out by boys and
girls into sizes. Six and seven were
the most common sizes, and a. the
needles lay irregularly. TO be at sizes
and sevens was expressive Of hope
less confusion.

VICTIMS OF INDIGESTION.


nsiss 1Ass Hsvs nee. rssseA a.a rssnd
tb Bs Of ss~viss.
The number of people afflicted
with this peculiar and uncomfort-
able sensation after eating is by no
means small. Il means simply that
either because the person is fatigued
or because the food Is indigestible
or because the nervous system which
controls the digestive processes Is
out Of order the act of digestion Is
either wholly arrested or Is very
improperly carried on. People trou-
bled in this way can observe two or
three plain rules which will entirely
prevent the difficulty and will be of
great benefit to their general health.
First, eat nothing until there is
positive appetite for food. 1t will be
far better to skip ones dinner en-
tirely, and far less injurious TO the
general health, than to eat when
weary, when excited, when nervous
or when the appetite is not present.
II great hunger comes on in the
middle of the afternoon, an apple
or a piece of bread and butter will
have relish and flavor undreamed
of under ordinary circumstances,
and will prevent the faintness which
might arise before the regular hour
for nourisbing supper.
Second, eat something which re-
quires considerable chewing, espe-
cially Mt the beginning of a meal.
This involves the use of dry food,
but IL does not mean the entire abb
sence of liquids from tho meal. The
reason why food that has to be
ohewed is valuable is because in the
process 0t mastioation a largo
amount of saliva is secreted and this
is an important factor in digestion.
If liquid is desired at mealtime,
it is not likely to do great harm IL
it is not too oold, provided it is not
swallowed mt tho same time the dry
food IL put in the mouth. The man
who washes down each mouthful of
bread with swallow Of milk, tea
or coffee has no saliva mixed with
his food; whereas, IL he thoroughly
nastioates his mouthful of dry food,
swallows IL and then takes his swal-
low of milk, he will interfere far
less with the proper processes of di-
gestion.
DIR. j. II. Kellogg has made some
interesting experiments showing
the amount of saliva seoreted by the
glands Of the mouth while dry food
Is being ohewed. A piece of paraffin
ohewed for FIVE minutes produced
two-thirds of an ounce of saliva, one
ounce OF granose--a dry food pre-
pared from wheat--increased in
weight to two ounces, one ounce Of
bread ohewed for Eve minutes caused
the production of ono ounce of saliva,
and one ounce of raw apple produced
an ounce and a quarter.
Third, eat digestible food only.
Digestible food is variable term,
and is determined by the individual.
Articles which are perfectly harm
less for one individual are very Sc
rious hindranoes to the physical
we'll being of another. Experience
Is tho chief guide, and when articles
of food cause distress and seem to
hurt you the part of wisdom is to
let them alone. e.-Philadelphia Rec
ord.

Havana Practically Isolated.

MADRID, Jan. 16.-Dispatches from
Havana say the insurgents have cut of
all means of land communication be-
tween this city and the interior except
by short railroad from Havana to Mar
iannao, in the province of Havana, and
over still shorter railroad between Pag-
la and Munabacia, suburbs of that city.
Consequently steamships are the only
means of communication between the
capital and the provinces, which remain
at the disposal of the authorities.

New YORK, Jan. 15.-There is a man
serving one year in the penitentiary for
the larceny f$9, whose record as poly
gamist gives him pre-eminence in evil.
Thirteen marriages have been traced to
him, and there are more to come, the
authorities say. He married under the
names of George Marir, Joseph Mailer,
Joseph Miller, George Muffler and sever
al other aliases. It is believed his real
name is George Meyers.
Meyers object in forming this con-
nubial 13 club was 10 obtain money.
One of his wives is sueing him for di-
vorce. This universal benedict was not
at all fastidioue. He married any woman
he happened to be acquainted with, no
matter what her age was, if she only had
money. He allied himself to women
varying in age from % to 40 years, and
it made no difference to him whether
they were pretty or homely, attractive or
repulsive. Nor did it matter how much
or how little money they had if they had
some. He married one woman for SIT.
With others he got dowers varying from
$25 to $500.
He had no other occupation, and sim
ply married for a living, not disdaining
as side issue to steal whatever money
he could lay his hands on. If the wo-
man he married suited him, he re-
mained with her few days; if not, he
left as soon ashe had secured her money.
As rule, however, he did not marry on
credit, as it were. He generally OBJ
tanned the moment he married, under
the pretense of wanting to start in bust

themsclycsnot to wear anything in pub
lie calculated to tempt a plckpocket or

sign of suppressing crime. This action
was taken after n well-known million
aire who likes diamonds had 5000
"sparkler" plucked from his shirt front
while he was enjoying cigar on the
front platform of surface car. As
result of this action, those members OF
the club who formerly disported dia-

naments, are going around to-day like
other plain citizens. Thus contempt for
