What Is a DOlmen?

On the continent the term dolmen is
almost universally applied to the whole
construction, including the covering,
mound or cairn. Thus French and other
writer's speak of a chambered mound or
tumulus as a dolmen. But since it is
probable that some never were covered
up it seems better to make a distinc-
ton, as we do in this country. In
France there are said to be about 4, 900
dolmens, many of which would in Eng
land be called chambered tumuli. The
Indian dolmens which are not covered
up resemble those of western Europe
Captain Meadows Taylor examined
large number in India and obtained
particulars Of no less than 2, 100 in the
Dekkan. About half of them had an
opening on one side, probably for the
free entrance Or exit of the soul, as peo-
pie thought then, just as in the Egyp-
tian pyramid there was passage to the
chamber containing the mummy With
regard to the distribution of these struc-
lures, it is said that none is to be

eaiii1 AT BREAKFAST

Fruit In some form should have q
prominent place In every breakfast
menu. Either the uncooked fruits may
be employed In their season, canned fruit
or sauces. All will be found sppctizing,
and all medical testimony bears witness
to their value AS an article of diet. More
especially where there Is dry, disagree
able, slightly feverish condition OF the
stomach, the cooling action Of the fruit
juices will be found most agreeable aud
refreshing. The action of the fruit acids
Is especially beneficial. All persons re-
quire more or less acid in their food or
drink, to meet the requirements Of the
system. Ii this comes from the natural
acid Of fruits, II does away with the
stronger and less wholesome acids of
pickles and other vinegsry condiments
over indulgence In which unquestionsbly
does harm 10 many Q stomach.
A writer on this subject recently de-
clsred that "f0r breakfast dish nothing
Is nicer than sliced oranges With cocoa
nut. Some add sliced bananas to this,
and II heavily sprinkled with powdered
sugar you will abandon hominy, chops
and steaks, and breakfast exclusively on
this dainty dish which French people
have justly called Fruit dc Psradis.' :"
The writer would not 60 to the extent
Of urging an exclusively fruit diet for
breakfast, feeling that In many cases
there should be "substaptials" added In
more or less generous measure; but that
fruits should have place aud large
one, at every breakfast cannot be denied.

Worth saving.

The people Of Belgium evidently be-
lieve in training their children in bab'
Its Of economy. Possibly no better
method Of convincing the young folks
of the wisdom Of locking after small
things could have been found than that
resurted to in the public schools OF
Brussels. The Outlook gives the result
Of the experiment.:
Some time ago the children were re-
quested by their teachers to gather W
oil the waste aud apparently useless ar'
ticlcs that they could find on their way
to and from school and to deliver them
to their respective teachers.
For eight months the work Of collec'
ton went on. Such objects rs tin foil,
tin cans, paint tubes. bottle capsules
and refuse metal were especially looked
after. The result was astonishing.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-five
pounds Of tin foil rewarded the chill
dren's efforts, together with l,20C
pounds Of metal scraps, 400 pounds OF
bottle capsules ard old paint tubes that
in the aggregate weighed ego pounds.
But IL was when the articles were
disposed OF aud tho money applied to
useful objects that the full force Of this
economy was manifest The proceeds
completely clothed 900 poor children
and sent 30 invalid children to re.
cuperation colonies. and there was d
goodly balance left To be distributed
among the sick poor Of the city.
