FAt and Digestion.

Why do we, at the end of heavy
dinner, eat cooked fruits? Simply be-
cause the acids and peptones in the
fruit assist in digesting the fats SO
abundant in this kind of food. When
we want their digestive action even
more developed, we take them after
dinner in their natural, uncooked state
as dessert. In the past ages instinct has
taught men to do this. while 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 ether foods more than it is now.
Cultivated fruits, such as apples. pears,
cherries, strawberries, grapes, etc., con-
tain, on analysis, very similar proper
lions of the same ingredients. Diges-
ton depends upon the action of pepsin
In the stomach on the food, which Is
generally aided by the acids of the
stomach. Fats are digested by these
acids and the bile from the liver. Now,
the acids and peptones in fruit pecu-
liarly assist the acids of the stomach.
Only lately 1t is said that even royalty
has been taking lemon juice in tea in
stead of sugar, and lemon juice has
been prescribed largely by physicians
to help weak digestion simply because
these acids exist very abundantly in the
lemon.-New York Ledger.

How Grant Broke a Runaway Horse.

Colonel Peyton, whose death was
chronicled yesterday, wrote a book,
"Reminiscences of the Past" In this
he refers to his first meeting with
Grant as follows:
I'm the year 1888 l was working as a
boy in a country store at Flat Rock,
Bourbon County, Ky. Ulysses s. Grant
was then boy, living at Georgetown,
o., not many miles distant. One day
Grant drove over to Flat Rock with the
niece of my employer. Grant was then
16 years of age. awkward, ungainly, de-
termined, industrious, and very poorly
dressed. He drove a vicious horse
The night after his arrival at Flat
Rock he slept with me in the store.
1t was cold night, and we boys kept
close to the lee of the counter. In the
morning Grant asked me IL he could as
sist me. / said yes. He helped me
take down the shutters and sweep out
the store and put the stock in place.
After breakfast he drove off. / heard
from him afterward of his drive home.
Before he had gone far from Flat Rock
his horse ran away and finally brought
up with a crash in a fence corner.
Nothing broke. Grant jumped out
seized the trembling horse by the
bride, and tied his handkerchief over
the beasts eyes. He drove the horse
blindfolded all the way to Georgetown,

The tales told by Ed Thorp since his
return from the Klondike have set
Juneau wild. He says: The stories
In circulation concerning the extraor-
binary richness Of the recent discover
les In the Klondike district have not
been exaggerated in the least. Gold in
good paying quantities has been found
on a number of creeks above Bonanza.
but interest centres almost entirely In
that stream and Eldorado. its first and
principal tributary.
THE amount OF gold contained in
many of the claims, which can be COM
puted with reasonable degree of ac-
curacy by sinking dozen OF fifteen
prospect holes in various portions Of
the pay streak and taking an average
OF number of pans from each one, is
almost incredible. When 1t Is remem-
bered that dirt that averages 10 cents
to the pan Is considered very rich, what
must 1t be when 1t runs "a and IS to
the pan? On Clarence Berrys claim,
No. Eldorado. all the men that could
be had were given employment this
winter at SLIPS an hour. He has sunk
some fifteen or twenty prospect holes
! to bedrock, and has located the pay
streak for width of $50 feet in thick
ness the full length of his claim. Pay
dirt Is encountered Immediately under
the muck, which in that locality Is
about nine feet thick, that goes from 8
to twenty-five cents to the pan, but
the pay streak is not considered to have
beeen struck until 75-cent dirt Is
reached. Pans taken from the bedrock
on this claim almost stagger ones be-
lief. they not infrequently running as
high as $3.50 and 5000. The heaviest
pan washed out so far in the entire dis
trict came from No. 6 and weighed
1888, one nugget alone in the pan
weighing 1898. Berry's expenses this
winter have been from 500 to $3.50 per
day, and he settles with his employees
every evening after working hours,
using only pan and some water Sc
cured by melting Ice to wash out the
amount necessary to pay his labor. The
amount of gravel already lying on the
dump ready to be washed out as soon
as the water runs, contains fortune
close on to six figures.
II was standing near Berry's dump
one evening when Mrs. Berry came
down from the cabin to call her hus-
band to supper. While waiting for him
to come up the shaft she picked over
$50 in coarse gold and nuggets that
were lying loose in the gravel just as it
came from bedrock, not five minutes
time being occupied in doing it.-Seat-
