Food Pecuiiarities.

DR.. Sophie Lepper, the English food
specialist. says in speaking of the pecul-
iarities of various foods that blanched
almonds give the higher nerve or brain
and muscle food, no heat or waste.
Walnuts give nerve or brain food; mus
Gle, heat and waste. Pine kernels give
heat and stay. They serve as substi-
tute for bread. Green water grapes are
blood purifying, but of little food value.
Blue grapes are feeding and blood puri-
flying, too rich for those who suffer
from the liver; tomatoes, higher nerve
or brain food and waste; no heat. They
are thinning and stimulating. Juicy
fruits give more or less the higher nerve
or brain, and some few, muscle food
and waste; no beat. Apples supply the
higher nerve and mus lie food, but do
not give stay. Prunes afford the highest
nerve or brain food, supply heat and
waste. but are not muscle feeding.

Where He Drew the Line.

Among the first stories recorded by
Mr.. 7. E. Pritt in his Anglers Bas-
ket" is one about O Scottish laird who
was relating the story of fine fish be

dinner table. Donald. said be TO the
servant behind his chair-an old man,
but a new servant-"bow heavy was

neither spoke nor moved. The laird re-

In the sesrch for truth no aid is so
effective as the ever ready spirit Of ac-
1ivity. He who postpones putting what
he knows into practice until he knows
more will find his journey long and
discouraging one. Carlyle well says:
Conviction. were il never go excellent,
as worthless till it converts itself into
conduct Nay, properly conviction il
not possible till then, inasmuch as ali
speculation is by nature endless and
forInless Most true is il. as wise man
teaches us, that. Doubt of any sort can
not be removed except by action On
which ground, too, let him who gropes
painfully in darkness or uncertain light
and prays vehemently that the daws
may ripen into day, lay this ether pre-
oept well TO heart, which to ne VAS Ct
invaluable service, Do the duty which
lies nearest TO thee which thou know
est to be duty. The second duty VIII
already have become clearer"

The Eskimos dread the winter and
take early precautions to provide against
famine As the season approaches the
great herds Of reindeer migrate south
ward, and the walrus or the seal are
all that remain for food.
When an in wind is blowing, the wal
rus is easily found ON the outer edge Of
the ice packs. When it is blowing off
the shore. however, the ice packs sail
out TO sea with the walruses on them.
The natives then class their numbers in
list from the strongest TO the weakest.
The food that is IN store is divided up,
the weakest having the smallest guam
tity, the strongest the largest. Thus the
mightiest hunters have strength to pro-
vide for the others.
1t is a cruel system, but, nevertheless,
a necessary one. If all were weak, all
would die; if some are strong, they will
save many of the weak

France he arrived at small village

Nine out of ten persons, if asked
what is the most sensitive part of the
