The opinion that hurry in eating is a
prolific cause Of dyspepsia is founded on
common observation. The i'll results of
bolting food have been attributed to the
lack Of thorough mastication and to the
incomplete action Of the saliva upon the
food Two-thirds of the food which we
eat is starch, and starch cannot be util-
lied in the system as food until it has
been converted into sugar, and this
change is principally effected by the
saliva. But there is a third reason why
rapidity of eating interferes with diges-
tion. The presence of the salivary secre-
tion in the stomach acts as a stimulus
to the secretion of the gastric juice. Ir-
respective of the mechanical function of
the teeth, food which goes into the
stomach incompletely mingled with
saliva passes slowly and imperfectly
through the process of stomach diges-
ton. Therefore, as q sanitary maxim of
no mean value, teach the children to
eat slowly, and in giving this instruc-
tion by example the teacher as we'll as
the pupil may receive benefit Troy

A Newspaper Curiosity.

Thomas Smith. Jr., who keeps Sec
ondhand furniture store at 220 Center
street. has in his possession an old
newspaper which is'a real curiosity. 1t
is 1875 years old and contains the first
cuts ever printed in newspaper. He
bought it at the receivers sale Of the
estate of Joseph Low Mason, who was
once q police commissioner. The curl
osity is inclosed in an unassuming
frame and covered by glass on both
sides, so as to permit its being read
without handling. The heading is
Boston Gazette and Country Journal.
Monday, March IL, 1870"
Of the two leading articles one treats
of the Boston riots, and the other ia ar
appeal to all patriotic citizens to with
hold from purchasing goods of English
manufacture The former is illustrated
with five rudely drawn coff1ns, which
are supposed to contain the bodies of the
first five heroes of American independ
ence.
The paper is extremely valuable as {
relic, and it is said that the heirs o.
Mr.. Mason have offered to buy it fol
large sum, but Smith refuses to par
with it. New York Tribune.

that sleep is natural function, and
that slumber is state that requires no
preparation. Given bed and certain

fact they find that they do not always
sleep when they think they should, but
it never occurs to them that their the

requiring careful preparation, and with
out thai preparation its best results can
not be obtained.

two, and are still depending on Sam
Haynes, the blacksmith, to relieve us Of
our aching molars, and when Sam hap
pens to be drunk the toothache must wait
for him to sober up. One day last week
Ben Taylor was made SO crazy with tooth
ache that he handed his gun to Reub Jack
son and begged of him to shoot the tooth
out Reub had just got over a spree and
his hand was shaky, and as result he
shot out two perfectly sound molars, and
also carried away the tip Of Ben's tongue.
There Is no dentist for 20 miles around,
and the one who settles down here can GO
hunting or get drunk for three days in
each week and then make q barrel OF

Nobody Hurt.

Tuesday afternoon last Mr.. John Hope,
the popular hardware merchant, wanted
some legal advice and started to call at the
Office of Lawyer Watson to get it. An hour
before his call we had sent word to the
same lawyer that we intended to drop in
and have a chat with him about $50, 600
libel suit he was threatening to bring. We
have had two or three little chats with
him on such Subjects and he has always
had to talk with his arms above his head
He was waiting for us with a shotgun, and
as Mr. Hope opened the door the lawyer
blazed away The caller didn't wait for
an explanation, but began shooting right
and left, and for four or five minutes things
were pretty lively. When the smoke cleared
away, it was found that no one had been
hurt in the fusillade, though the tintype
gallery across the alley had been pretty
we'll shot to pieces. Itwas a fortunate end
ing 20 an unfortunate affair and yet both
gentlemen deserve all the public criticism
they are receiving. Such poor shooting

1t Astonished Him.

The Missouri editor who was with us
most of last week and attended a meeting
of the common council as our guest was
astonished at every turn. When we re-
fused to entertain Alderman Harper's
motion to table certain resolution, and
simultaneously with the refusal got the
drop on the alderman and choked him off,
the man from the east caught his breath
and was ready to bolt for the door. He
thought there would be shooting for sure;
So too when Alderman Scott got up to
present a resolution which was clearly out
of order. We know that If we waited to
explain matters the alderman would get
the drop on us and smash Cushing's Man
ual all topieces. Therefore he had scarce
ly opened his mouth when we had a gun
on line with his chin and were courteously
requesting him to sit down and let things
take their course. Such things don't hap
pen in st. Louis or Chicago, but we can't
grow out of old habits and customs into
new ones In year. When we were made
mayor, it was expected that we would pre-
side at the council meetings and keep
things straight We are doing 1t with two
guns on shelf under our desk and doing
it we'll, and up to date none of the six al
dermen has succeeded In getting the drop
on us. If things look bit queer to our
eastern friends, they lnust remember that
every town has its ways,
He May t1o Too.
Some critter in this community has
spent his nights for the last week in writ

below the waist line. There was a dog

other wrap now in vogue except the blanket
shawl, which will be jealous god and
permit nothing else. There are several
variations of the jacket cape, but have
seen none equal to the green velvet one
The smaller sleeves have enabled fair
woman to wear all sorts of snug jackets
again, and some of these are very attrac-
tive from every point of view, and all are
jaunty and stylish. The preferred shape
has the blazer frnGt, though somewhat
shorter than those worn last season. Tiny
pockets are sewed ON, and the whole is
tailor finished. Some are double breasted
with revers and others are Tapped to the
left side, where they iasten invisibly, leav-
ing the front in one smooth, unbroken
surface, eminently chic. The sleeves to
the jackets for obvious reasons are loose
gigots, though not large There is no end
to the ways Of finishing off the basques
and jackets around the bottom. Some are
stitched and flutod in the back, others are
slashed deeply into turret points. Some
have tulip tabs and others are scalloped,
the scalloEs being bound with velvet or
satin. \ few have positions, and some
are cut straight across. These are not
handsome. There is one entirely new idea
in basque about five inches below the
waist line, and this is cut straight around

The short vatican jackets or coats are
shown in bewidcring numbers and varie-
ties. The oldest l have seen was one of
black taileta silk covered loosely with ac-
Gordon plated black silk muslin. The
sleeves were bishop shape and covered with
the muslin. There was great ruflle of
the same fastened in the back with n let
buckle and two large loops hanging over
each sleeve. Such a fluffy, puffy looking
thing / never saw but it was awfuly styl-

There were no sleeves. hut there were half
