ERuIT as a MEDICINE.
Acids IN Fruit Assist the Action OF
the stomach.

Acids IN Fruit Assist the Action of
the Stomach.
Why for ages have people eaten apple
sauce with their noast goose and suck
ling pig? is the conundrum asked by
Popular Science Monthly, which then
proceeds to elucidate as follows:
Simply because the acids and pep
tones in the fruit assist in digesting
the fat so abundant in this kind of food
For the same reason at the end of a
heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits
and when we want their digestive ac-
ton even more developed we take them
after dinner in their natural uncooked
state as dessert. In the past ages in
stinct has taught men to do this; to-day
science tells them why they did it, and
this Same science tells us that fruit
should be eaten as an aid to digestion
of other foods much more than it is
now. Cultivated fruits, such as apples,
pears, cherries, Strawberries, grapes,
etc, contain on an analysis very similar
proportions of the same ingredients,
which are about one per cent. of malic
and other acids. and one per cent. OF
f1esh-forming albuminoids, with over
80 per cent. of water.
digestion depends upon the dclloh ol
pepsin in the stomach. Fats are di-
gested by these acids and the bile from
the liver. Now, the acids and peptones
in fruit peculiarly assist the acids of the
stomach. Only lately even royalty has
been taking lemon juice in tea instead
of sugar. and lemon juice has been pre-
scribed largely by physicians to hell
weak digestion, simply because these
acids exist very abundantly in the

P. d. Smith, an old book man, tells
a most interesting story of how it feels
to be buried alive, says the Los Angeles
Record. For one hour he lay at the
bottom of a deserted mine shaft and
was only saved by dog that whined
and howled at neighbours house. just
after a recent storm Mr.. Smith went
prospecting in Deer canyon, branch
of the Big Tejunga, in the San Fernan-
do range. He was removing some tim

the rotten wood gave way and carried
him to the bottom of the shaft. heavy
load of timber and earth followed.
Strange to say, he was uninjured and
Law free from immediate danger in the
dark, damp space left by the boards.
Gloomy were the thoughts that filled
his mind as he lay there and thoughts
of his past life and the friends he
would never see again, for the shaft
was one which had been covered over
head and lost to the knowledge of the
neighborhood for years. Moreover, 1t
was a mile and half from the nearest
house. Once or twice he shouted, but
his voice sounded sepulchral as it
echoed in muff1ed way between the
overhanging walls and reverberated in
i his cars. For one hour he lay there in
this cramped position, while gloomy
thoughts passed in frightful procession
through his mind.
Fortunately, his little dog was with
him. Boss" is particularly intelli-
gent dog, and after the accident to his
master went to the nearest house and
acted so strangely that Mr.. Walton, the
owner, followed him to the shaft
There he found and rescued him.

INDIAN PoLYoAMIsTs.
ERorts to BE Made to stop the Practice
in the Indian Territory.


The officials of Perry, o. T., together
with those of the Indian territory, will,
it is reported, make an earnest eff
fort to stop polygamy among the In
dams. Polygamy is practiced among
nearly all of the tribes, and especially
among the Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
Mai. A. E. Woodson, agent for these
tribes, says there are Indians among
them who have from two to half dozen
wives. Maj. Woodson says the Indians
refuse to give up their extra wives, and
say they will not obey the territorial
laws in this respect.
The major says there are only about

dams. They are opposed to change
They come to him saying that they
have heard nothing from Washington
about it. and are inclined to question

everything must come from Washing

Most Indians who. were living in vii
lages six years ago are now on their al

Crops in this section are gener-
ally considered poor. especially
the corn. Continued dry and
cool weather being the cause. It
is quite probable that there will
be an abundance of rain later and
it behooves every farmer to put
forth an extra effort to make
good crops of peas, sweet potatoes
and sugar cane. In fact there
cannot be too much stress placed
on the value of these particular
crops.
Quite good many from this

A FAMOUS SERPENT.
Faxons Take Brought Crowds and Pros
perity to Silver Lake.

Faxon's Take Brought Crowds and Pros
perity to Silver Lake.
Faxon was happiest when doing some
thing to relieve tho distress of another,
and he was, moreover, greatly given to
practical joking. These two characteris-
tics in him produced hoax once that be-
came famous at the time, and it was about
the same time that he caused Blondin to
walk across Niagara.
FaXon had friend who went to Silver
lake, a beautiful body of water few miles
south of Buffalo and Rochester, in what
was then a wild and picturesque country,
where he built superb hotel, hoping to
make the place popular resort. This
mans fortune was expended in building
and QUILTING the hotel, but as people did
not resort to the place in considerable
numbers it failed of becoming much of a
resort, and the man was about to be flnan-
cially ruined. Faxon went to the place
for few days relaxation, and, seeing the
condition of affairs, invented scheme
which his friend obviously fell into, and
the investment was saved.
At Buffalo lived n young German tin
smith of an ingenious turn of mind. TO
him Faxon went, and under Faxon's di-
rection an immense tin snake was secretly
made, and so contrived that by the use of
wires it would, under proper arrange
ments, go into serpentine writings and
open and shut its enormous mouth. This
"contraption" was quietly taken to Silver
lake and so fixed in the water-which was
very deep-that by wires worked from the
cellar of the hotel it would show itself on
the surface, snap its terrible mouth and
dive down again.
The snake being arranged in working
order, FaXon went back to Buffalo and in
his paper printed, under great 'scare
heads" the story of the discovery of an
enormous snake in Silver lake. People
visited the place by hundreds and then by
thousands. The hotel and its barns and
outbuildings of all kinds were filled with
guests, and many people went there and
camped on the shores of the lake, his
snakeship coming to the surface at salts
factory intervals and doing his share of
the work. So the fame of the Silver lake
snake went abroad.
There came "a body of savants of the
school of Europe to see the famous terror,
and they saw it and pondered over it, but
at "a most respectful distance.
Finally one day the wires broke, the
snake floated TO the surface and turned its
white belly toward the sky just like any
other dead snake, and the great hoax was
exploded. But Faxons friend had saved
his fortune and added to il, and Silver
lake became quite resort after all.-Chi-
cago Times-Herald.

The Tax on Beer.

There is much curiosity as to why the
tax on beer was made $l.44 barrel in
stead of 81. 45 or 81. so. The rate adopted
sounds good deal as II the senate COM
mittee was initiating the bargain counters
in the department stores, but there is a
deep and important significance to the fig
ures. They were adopted for the sake Of
convenience In mathematical calculations.
One hundred and forty -four Is the multi
pie of Q, 3, 4, 8, 8 and 12, which are the
divisions used by the brewers In the sale
of beer. In estimating and computing the
taxes upon fractional parts of barrel
e1.44 IL much more convenient than 81 30
or e1.40 or &1.45. Thus the tax on half q
barrel of beer will he 70 cents, the tax on
. quarter of . barrel SO cents, on q third
of barrel IS cents, on sixth Of barrel
~ cents, on an eighth Of barrel IS vents.
Ever, cents and no fractions entsr into the
calculation, Chicago Record.

DuctiIe Iron.

The growing introduction of ductile iron
is pointed out by a writer in Engineering
as an important feature in the mechanical
world. Its tensile strength is represented
TO be 90, 600 pounds and more to the square
inch, and after being heated to dull red
and plunged into cold water 1t can be filed
easily, showing that it takes no temper.
Specimens are mentioned which have had
portions heated and drawn out under the
hammer after being twisted cold, without
fracture, and In another case heavy
chain, the links Of which were cast open,
then Joined and welded without the use of
fux; also valve stems, crank shafts and
other similar pieces, finished to pattern
In lathe and exhibiting surfaces without
q blow hole. Intricate castings, too, were
reproduced regularly without failure,
while, as is well known, a not inconsider-
able percentage of loss has attended 9TH
er methods for the production of very
strong castings.

The Democracy of Greece.

"Our country Is certainly more demo-
cratic than the United States, the crown
prince of Greece once said to me in the
midst of a conversation about the political
institutions of his country. He was surely
right If the remark be applied to the social
and political instincts of the Greek people,
No more naturally and unaffectedly dem
ocratic a people exists under the sun than
the Greek. Not only are there no aristo-
cratic titles, but there is no apparent con-
seriousness in the ordinary life and man
ners of the existence of social barriers.
The village demarch sits placidly and
comfortably with the other villagers and
the peasants in the cafe or bakali. The
cabman who served you yesterday does not
omit to give you from his box graceful
salute as he passes you on the street. NO
hum bleness of occupation or OF presumed
station in life deters one man from greet
ing another whom he meets on the road or
in the square, or from beginning the
frankest and frecst conversation.
The reserve and cautious If not bashful
self respect of the Anglo Saxon commonly
interprets this Greek freedom at the first
as bald effrontery. In the judgment OF
the newcomer the Greek commonly gains
the credit of being what the American col
legian would call decidedly fresh" In
reality it is part and parcel of the national
courtesy, tinctured and conditioned, to be
sure, by the equally national curiosity.
Democracy is no affectation. The BASH
fulness which springs from suspicion of
barriers is Benjamin lde
Wheeler in Century.
