Interesting Report Of Their Working
Made hy Bishop Tuclsor.
The following is an interesting
story concerning the hot springs at
Eu"enlori, in the Uganda, as related
by Bishop Tucker:
AS the sun down, cNpcctiug the
cold, we had a fire lighted outside our
tent, but to cur uatouisAmeut the heat
became so great that we had to remove
the fire, and, sure enough, as time went
ON, IL seemed to get worse and worse.
j. was impossible to slcep-in fact, it
was worse than the worst night on the
Red sea, and the same distressing kind
of heat. Unable to sleep, we lay per-
spring as if we were in Turkish bath
Next morning we spent in inspecting
the wonderful hot springs which lay
about one hour away to the left. The
boiling water was bubbling up all over
n space Of about 100 yards. Down the
center is channel in which the hot
water collects and runs away, forming
q good-sizcd stream as It gets free of
the springs.
1--WE found number of people bath
ing at the time, as they believe the
water is q sure cure for almost every
disease. We placed o few potatoes in
one Of the largest springs and had the
pleasure Of eating thCm, beautifully
boiled. i'm about ten minutes. ! am told
that the natives living round here boil
sheir potntoes hore every day, and are

DYSPEPSIA PROOF.
The Eskimos Defy All Laws of Hygiene
and Thrive.

The Eskimos Defy All Laws of Hygiene
and Thrive.
Much IS said about American dys-
pepsia, but there is one native race of
America that is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse, says Pop
ular Science News. The sturdy little
Esquimaux defy all the laws of hygiene
and thrive. The Esquimau, like the or
binary dweller in America, eats until
he is satisfied, but there is this differ
ence-that he never is satisfied while
shred of the feast remains unconsumed.
His capacity is limited by the supply,
and by that only.
He cannot make any mistake about
the manner of cooking his food, for as
a rule he does not cook it, nor, so far
as the blubber or fat of the arctic ami
NAL is concerned, about his method of
eating it, for he simply does not eat it;
he cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an inch thick and then lowers the
strips down his throat as one might
lower rope into well.
And after all that he does not suffer
from Indigestion. He can make good
meal off the flesh and skin of the wal
rus, provision so hard and gritty that
in cutting up the animal the knife must
be continually sharpened.
The teeth of little EsQuimau child
will meet in q bit of walrus skin as the
teeth of an American child would meet
in the flesh of an apple. And that when
the hide of the walrus is from one-half
to one and one-half inches in thickness
aud bears considerable resemblance to
the skin of an elephant. The Esqui-
mau child will bite and digest it, too,
and never know what dYspepsia means.

dropped her pocketbooli in the mud.

of thimbles, pennies, scissors, samples
and dimes were scattered broadcast,
says the Detroit Free Press.

the owner of the Pocketbook blushed

she was very pretty.
There is climax to this story. When
the young woman had ceased looking
for lost property she went on her way,
and the street gamin darted across the
street from his post OF observation

MANUAL FOR ARMY COOKS.
Camp Cooking Not So Bad as Might IL

Camp Cooking Not So Bad as Might he
Supposed.
In camp life the joys of dining are
more precarious than in the barracks
because of the many inconveniences to
proper cooking of the food, says the
| Chautauquan. However, as an offset
| 10 this drawback to camp life, the ap-
petite is better in outdoor life. For
field use the cooking utensils are neces-
sa-iIy simple. The dishes are few and
instead of the reliable barracll range in
the shelter of a tidy kitchen some rude
cooking place must be improysed. or
these cooking places the simplest and
most economical as to fuel is in the
form of q trench dug in the ground.
With moderate weather, favorable soil
and sufficient skill such d stove can be
made to answer every purpose. Field
ovens, too, of primitive fashion are con-
structed for baking soft bread" beans,
meats, etc. This is done even when the
army is on the march, provided the
weather is not too stormy for the bread
to rise.
For individual cooking and eating on
the field, nccessitated by emergencies,
the government furnishes cuch soldier
with one meat can and plate combined,
cue three-Pint cauteeu, one tin cup, one
knife, fork and spoon.
With all its hardships, camp cooking
with the most primitive implements is
not so fatal to good food rs might be

short or not. Then the teacher should take
each stanza or paragraph and write down
its meaning. Then see if there is any
underlying purpose in the selection. The
reading lesson ought to be studied else 1t
becomes mere drill upon symbols.
But what is reading? Not long since
asked six teachers the question: What Is
reading?" One said Reading is the repe-

upon form without any reference to content.
The second replied Reading is The means

authors thought. To do this presupposes

there are many exceptions TO this defini-

must contain. 1t must be thinking. Unless
there be thinking the pupil simply repeats

In other words, the pupil thinks the
thought that the words suggest. In oral
reading the pupil not only thinks the
thought which the words suggest to his
mind, but he gives expression to that
thought In both cases the element OF
thinking is the main thing.
