from the usual starvation, but
hundreds are dying from typhus,

The few remaining domestic

Spanish Cruelty.

The cruelty of the Spaniard, or rather
his callousness, his recklessness of the

medieval and oriental survival, say S

temperamentsI know not what vein of

Insensibility to the suffering of ami

any greater 30 far as my own observa-

Slow Eating May BE bad.

According to The Journal of Mental
and Nervous Diseases. slow eating is
as bad as fast eating. 1.-The important
point is not that we eat slowly or fast,
but that when we do eat we chew with
energy. OF course where the haste is
due to some mental anxiety this may
injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow
eating begets a habit of simply mum
bling the food without really masticat.
ing it, while the hurried eater is in
clined to swallow his food before proper
mastication. Hence hurried eating is
bad, but rapid mastioation is advan-
tageous. 1t concentrates our energies
on the act i'll question, and hence more
thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover,
energetic chewing stimulates the secre.
tion Of saliva in the most favorable
N tanner. These various points are SO
commonly misunderstood, at least by
the laity, that they demand our fire.

Newspaper Woman's work and
Pay

Elizabeth G. Jorden, a writer
for a metropolitan daily, tells iii
the Ladies' Home Journal what
it Means to be a Newspaper
Woman" She points out to her
sisters the way to success by the
light of her own experience, and
he article will be of practical value
to yonng women who may be
thinking Of taking up journalism
as vocation 1t is interesting to
note that Miss Jorden advises girls
that the best place to start such
work is the Office of the newspaper
in the town or smaller city, and to
spend two years at least in such an
Office. Newspaper work in New
York she findei hard; the hours
long, necessitating irregularity in
ones mode of living; but, on the
other hand, il is fascinating, and,
if one does good work, remunera-
tive. Newspaper women will not,
this writer believes, be called upon
in the future to create meterial for
sensational articles, for the days
of sensational journalism, she pre-
diets, are nearing the end.

Late in the afternoon q day or two
ago young man might have been mo-

not far from the Plain Dealer building,
says q writer on that clever Cleveland
paper. He might have been noticed.
although it was plainly evident he
didn't wish to be. He passed along rap
idly for awhile and then alackened speed
and gazed about him furtively. Then
he walked on again. When be reached
the corner he turned and sauntered
back again. Again he slowed up to GER
tain point and stared about him. Three
times did he 60 through this perform
ance. each time something appearing
to thwart his mysterious purpose. Once
it was group OF approaching ladies,
once 1t was a pair OF faces At win

courage. Walking briskIy back. he
slackened his pace only slightly. Then
ne turned abruptly and bolted through
the doorway Of . cheap coffee-and-

FRICTION OF RAILWAY TRAINS


Prof. r. E. Nipher has recently meas-
ured the frictional effect Of moving
trains upon the air near them. reports
the Scientific American. His appar
atus consisted Of hemispherical cup.
which he could Ak at distances up to 30
inches from the window OF railway
carriage. The mouth Of this collector
was turned toward the direction in
which the train was moving at the time
Of observation, and the pressure due to
the motion was conveyed to pressure
Euage BY means Of an India rubber
tube attached to the back Of the collect
ing cup. The results obtained showed
that large amount Of air II dragged
along with rapidly moving train, the
motion being also communicated to air
many feet away. The air not only pos
sasses sufficient power to cause one to
topple over, but Il also communicates .
spanning molten. tending to roll per-
son under the train II the nature Of the
ground does not prevent such result.
