BREAKFAST CEREALS.

They Contain Essential Elements For Per-
feet Nourishment of the Body.
Cereals and fruits should form the
base of breakfast foods,'' writes Mrs.
s. T. Rorer on breakfast Cereals and
Fruits in her cooking lesson in The
Ladies' Home Journal. "They will sup
port muscular action, preserve the heat
Of the body and strengthen the brain in
it's nervous activity. Whole or steel cut
oats and whole wheat, from which our
nineteenth century bread should be
made, contain the essential elements for
the perfect nourishment of the human
body. The great objection to cereal
foods is their difficulty of digestion, not
from any fault of the foods, but, first,
from lack of time in cooking and, second,
from lack of proper mastication. Raw
starches are indigestible. The first step,
then, toward the digestion of starches
is over the fire. Each little cell must be
ruptured, and for this long and careful
cooking is required. The second step to
the digestion of starches is in the
mouth. They are there converted from
the insoluble starch to soluble sugar.
# they are swallowed quickly, without
mastication, they miss this digestion,
entering the stomach as strangers. This
organ not being prepared to receive
them, they are cast out into the small
intestines to be entirely instead of part
~ digested. This organ, now compelled
to do, in addition to it's own duties, the
work of the mouth, soon becomes over
taxed, and we have, as result, the
disease most common in this country
intestinal indigestion.
''Of the breakfast cereals steel cut
oats head the list. Any of the wheat
germ preparations are good. After these
come the rolled wheat and barley and
rice preparations. All these foods, how
ever, must be thoroughly cooked and
eaten without sugar.

THEY DON'T LIKE PAPER.

savages at First Contact Regard the Fabric
With Suspicion.
When savage people first come in con-
tact with the whites, none of the won
ders that they see is regarded with more
suspicion than large sheets Of paper.
The native is apt to regard paper as a
sort of cloth, and the fact that it tears
easily and is worthless for most Of the
purposes to which cloth is put convinces
him that it is fraud.
One or two Kongo travellers told Of
the disgust with which the natives at
first regarded paper. The Kongo tribes,
by the way, are on the lookout for
sharpers and it is exceedingly hard
work for anybody to sell them a bad
quality of cutlery or cloth. Savages
soon find, however, that paper is not in
tended to serve the purposes of cloth.
Then they cease to look upon it as a
fraud, but they do not think it ranks
high among white man S manufactures,
and they have little use for it.
Some time ago we'll known explorer
was travelling in the interior of Queens
land. Australia, where he met many
nativs~who had never seen white man
before.
One day a crowd of natives was in
the white man camp carefully inspect
ing the explorer and his baggage when
newspaper happened to drop out of
his pocket.
The natives unfolded and spread it
out on the ground. They decided that it
must be an article of wearing apparel,
and one of them tried it on. He wrap
ped it round his shoulders like q shawl
and sat down on the ground, arranging
his covering this way and that and
watching the faces Of the crowd to see
what they thought Of his elegant gar
ment. covered as it was with many
thousands of curious marks.
Presently, however, an accident hap
pened. While the savage was rearrang
ing his shawl and trying to bring the
corners together in front of him the gar
ment began to tear at the nape of his
neck. A howl from the crowd called at
tention to the disaster. The blanket, or
whatever it was, was evidently made Of
the poorest sort of material.
The savage took his covering off, ex-
amined the mischief he had wrought,
made the tear little longer and then
with his finger poked hole through
the paper.
That settled the fact that the article
was worthless. ThainewspapeR sndden-

turned their attention to less destructi-

ANCIENT STUTTGART.
Postal and Travelling Accommodations OF
the Old German City.

Postal and Travelling Accommodations OF
the Old German City.
The post relations of ancient Stuttgart
were unpretentious. The two maid
servants of the postmaster distributed
through the city the daily letters, which
they carried in the same basket with the
family marketing. Letters were carried
out of the city by positions. There was
a number of couriers, and as a surety
against mistakes there hung in the post
office, beside the curious mail bags, a
huge whip, with which, when the COM
mission had been given to the courier, a
powerful blow for the strengthening of
his memory was dealt him.
Coaches and post wagons were inno-
cent of any suggestion of comfort-a
high, clumsy wooden box was secured
by thick leathern straps, and in the
cavernous bottom were confined together
packages and passengers. Up and down
hill, over ruts and rocks, the cumbrOus
vehicle ratified on it's way, the hapless
travellers being ever on the defensive
against the assaults of tumbling boxes
and bundles And then the weary slow
ness of the .vay! Formerly the journey
from Stuttgart to Tubingen was made
in 10 hours. The same journey is now
made in four hours. The position
alighted to take refreshments when it
pleased them, and one traveller has left
a dismal record of journey that he
once made, during which the driver
took the horses from the carriage and
attached tbc n to hay wagon that had
been left mired in the mud. The man
drove the wagon into the next villag
and when there he joined the grateful
neighbors in carousal, while the tired
passengers languished on the dusty
country road.-Elise J. Allen in Har-
per's Magazine. .--

Why He Left the Stage.

There is in Philadelphia man who
abandoned the theatrical profession be-
cause he could not lift Fanny Daven-
port. He was member of one of the
local stock companies about 30 years
ago, when Miss Davenport came to
Philadelphia with one of the men of
her company sick. She applied to the
manager of the theater in which the
young man referred to was employed
for some one to take the sick mans
place, and as the young actor was not
in the cast Of the play then running his
services were loaned to Miss Davenport.
He was cast for the part of Caius Lucius
in "Cymbel;ne, and the business of
the part required that he should take
Miss Davenport in his arms and carry
her off the stage. The lady weighed
considerably more than he did, and
when he attempted to pick her up h.
found that his strength was not equal
to the task. His struggles caused the
audience to laugh, and that spoiled a
good scene. He was so Inundated chat
he left the profession after that engage
ment -Philadelphia Inquirer.

THINKING aloud.
A Ruse Which Reused Lord Dudley and
Formed q Friendship.

Formed q Friendship.
One of the earls Of Dudley, who was
addicted to the practice of thinking
aloud, found himself in very awkward
predicament on certain occasion, if a
story told of him may be credited. He
was to spend the evening at the house
of a friend and ordered his carriage
early, as he had long drive back to his
own home.
When the hour arrived, the carriage
was not forthcom' 2. Seeing that Lord
Dudley was CONSIDERABLY annoyed by
the delay, one of the guests, whose way
homeward lay past his lordship's house,
politely offered him seat in his car
riage. The gentleman was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley, but the offer
was accepted.
The drive did not prove very So
ciable one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and Immediately relapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unpleasant subject. Presently he
began to speak in low, but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan-
1Ou, LIS AOdAu A4Au say
"I'm very sorry accepted his offer.
I don't know the man. It was civil GER
tainly, but the worst is suppose I
must ask him to dinner"
Silence followed this bit Of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon the
same unpleasant subject when the voice
of his companion broke the stiffness.
Apparently this stranger was afflicted
with the same malady from which his
lordship suffered, for he exactly initial
ed Lord Dudley's tone as he said:
''Perhaps he'll think I did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. I hope he won't ask me to din
ner, for shan't accept his invitation.
Lord Dudley's abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the others words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered his
hand to his companion, making many
apologies for his Involuntary rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends. Companion.

BEFORE THE RAILROADS.

When Philadelphia Was the Greatest City
In the American Colonies.
In 1774 Philadelphia was the largest
town in the American colonies. Esti
mates of the population, which are all
we have, differ widely, but it was prob
ably not far from 10000. A single city
now has larger population than alb
the colonies possessed in l774, and there
are in the United States today 1O4 cities
and towns of over 80, 900 inhabitants
Figures alone, however, cannot express
the difference between those days and
our own. Now town of 80, 900 people
is reached by railroads and telegraphs-
1t is in cl,<- touch with all the rest of
tho world. Business brings strangers to
it constantly, who come like shadows
and so depart, unnoticed, except by
those with whom they are Immediately
concerned. 1t was not SO in l774, not
even in Philadelphia, which was as
nearly as possible the central point Of
the colonies as we'll as the most popu-
lous city.
Thanks to the energy and genius OF
Franklin, Philadelphia was paved, light
ed and ordered in way almost unknown
in any other town of that period. IL
was we'll built and thriving. Business
was active, and the people were thrifty
and prosperous and lived we'll. Yet, de-
spite all these good qualities, we must
make an effort of the imagination to re-
alize how quietly and slowly life moved
then in comparison to the pace Of today.
There in Philadelphia was the center
of the postal system of the. continent
and the recently established mail coach
called the Flying Machine, " not III
jest but in praise, performed the jour
ney to New York in the hitherto I'M
equaled title of two days. Another
mail at longer intervals crept more
slowly to the south. Vessels of the coast
wise traffic or from beyond seas came
into port at uncertain times and after
long and still more uncertain voyages.
The daily round of life was SO regular
and so quiet that any incident or any
novelty drew interest and attention in a
way which would now be impossible
