Points on Food.

Cheese Is q good example Of concen-
trated food value, being one-third pro-
tein, one-third fat and one-third
water.
Wheat -four, cornmeal and oatmeal
when compared show that oatmeal has
most protein and fat than the others.
1t is bone and muscle-producing food.
A quart Of milk, three quarters of
pound Of moderately fat beef and five
ounces of wheat flour all contain about
the same amount Of nutritive material
protein, fat, carbohydrate and min
eral matter.
Oysters contain very little nutrt-
ment Oysters in shell are four-fifths
waste, the one-fifth remaining being
water, with an almost imperceptible
amount of protein. Even oysters with
out the shell show so little food value
that one wonders why we eat them at
all. They are easily digested, however,
and add piquancy to meal.
Potatoes are way down In the list
of good foods, for they are mostly
water and ther Is very little nutriment
in them. 1t takes three and one-half
pounds of potatoes to equal one pound
of rice so far as food value goes. The
turnip alone outranks the potato In the
amount Of water 1t contains-it Is
nine-tenths water. The great trouble
with the potato is Its excess Of starch.
necessitating the eating of great guam
titles to produce nutritive results.-Ex-

SIR THOMAS Upton.

SIR THOMAS Upton.
While Thomas worked during the days
In din2y Glasgow as messenger boy
he attended the schools at night With
the indomitable idea that education
was the base Of all things. AS sooD
as he had learned to write and to fig.
ure and had a passing knowledge OF
the worlds geography and OF his own
country's history. he came to Ameri'
ca There are certain youths who
need no school but the world; give
them a start, and their ability in many
lines develops naturally and evenly
and as sure as fate itself. Benjamin
Franklin was one Of these lads; Thorn.
as Johnston Upton was another. The
world Is their school, aud In 1t they
are ever ahead of their contempora.
ries who have been blessed with col.
lege educations.
And here the writer in The Black
and White errs again, for he saye
that the lad, after q brief and un-
eventful visit to the United States,
returned to Glasgow and started the
venture that has now led to world.
Wide success" ACCORDING to Sir
Thomas's own words. recalled by the
writer of this sketch, the period OF his
visit" here, although passing brief,
was decidedly not without significance,
my experience in America" said
Sir Thomas, during one Of his periodi.
cal runs across" In June, 1896,
'shsrpened me, and I always felt that
] got a good commercial training
here"
On his return to Glasgow he bor-
rowed from his parents $50 that they
had saved by strict economy an.
opened a small provision shop. He
was proprietor, clerk. and office boy
even his own scrubwoman. In the
brief period of thirty years, note the
difference! Now he has stores in every
town in England, Ireland, and Scot
land that Is large enough to support
a store--or his corporation has, wnicn
amounts to the same thing, for it was
only recently that he decided to trans
fer his great business interests to the
control Of company He also has
On Office In New York and a packing
house in Chicago. But this Is not all.
In addition he Is the largest individual
owner of land in the Island of Ceylon
where he grows tea, coffee and cocoa.
The Indian headquarters of the COM
pany is in Calcutta. He also has stores
in Hamburg and Berlin. For his pack
ing house in Chicago he kills as many
as 5000 hogs a day..

In q sketch of Sir Thomas that ap-

says: Although the great merchants
parents were both Irish, his life and
his work, his courageous struggle, and
the brilliant success which ultimately
crowned them belong entirety to Glas-
gow." This is not entirely correct,
for, although Sir Thomas, the son Of
a workingman, earned Is. Cd. a week
as messenger boy, about forty years
ago in that city, the real theatre of his
FIRST achievement was New York. II
was in this city that his business fac

", IN A FROZEN HIDE,
Captain Jennings Awful Despair and His
Delivorance.

Captain Jennings Awful Despair and His
Deliverance.
A party Of scouts from the stations
on Bledsoe's creek, In Summer county,
was over in Wilson on tour of OBJ
servation for Indian signs. AS they
prepared to camp late one winter al
ternoon, Capt. Jennings, who was OF
the number, started out to kill buf-
falo from a herd which was near by.
There was heavy sleet on the ground
and he found 1t difficult to get in good
range on account OF the noise Of his
feet on the cracking Ice, but after fol-
lowing the game for several miles he
at last killed q very large bull. Fear
ing that the meat might be injured II
left until the next morning, he
skinned the animal and got out the
visoera. BY the time he was done
night had come, and he decided to
remain with his meat instead Of seek
ing camp in the darkness. So, wrap
ping the huge hide around him, flesh
side out, he lay down and slept very
comfortably until morning. On walk
Ing, he found himself tightly impris-
oned in the hide, which had frozen
hard and now resisted all his efforts
to escape.
Hour after hour rolled by in agony
to the captain. He yelled at the top
of his voice for help and strained and
kicked with all his might at the raw
hide enclosure, but it proved stubbon
to the last degree. He doubtless swore
many bitter oath, for he was of too
irascible a temperament to submit
tamely. He expected his companions
to search for him, and they did, but
with q great deal of caution, fearing
that he had been killed by the Indians.
His prolonged absence could be ac-
counted for In no other way. He gave
up all hope OF extricating himself as
the hours wore away, but help he had
not thought Of was to save him from
a death which would have been ex-
tremely mortfying, at the least, to
a man who had escaped Indian bullets
and swan icy rivers like beaver. We
will let him relate the issue in his
own words: well, the sun came out
in the afternoon, and this softened
the hide on he top SO could get one
arm out, and when got one arm out

LARGEST TUsKs IN THE WORLD

The output is still enormous, aver
aging about 1, 100000 pounds year for
the manufacture of ivory articles. This
amount of ivory Is valued at about
$5,O0O.0O0, and is said to cost the lives
of $4,000 elephants.
The record breaking tusk owned by
Meyer came from central Africa in the
neighborhood of Lake Tanganyka, and
measured 2.04 meters, or almost eight
feet. The largest pair Of tusks came
from Uganda. One Of them was 2.60
meters and the other 2.SO, and weighed
respectively rs and 70 Kilograms, or
about 152 and 1853 pounds.
One OF the finest tusks that ever
reached Europe was sold to Louis II Of
Bavaria, who had it made into chan
delier.

An Elegant Article.

A Georgia rural editor thus de-
scribes an accident that occurred dur
Ing a wedding ceremony:
"The bride, looking the picture Of
loveliness, stood under the swinging
chandelier. So did the bridegroom.
1.-THE bridegroom was over feet 2,
and, in bowling his responses to the
minister's questions, he accidentally
tilted the chandelier, which overturned
q kerosene lamp, the oil Of which spat-
tered all over the brides dress and the
minister's broadcloth coat. To say
that the bridegroom was mad would
not do justice to his feelings.
But he restrained himself, and sup
ported the bride to the front porch,
where the ceremony was concluded un-
der the stars of heaven. The minister
has sent in bill for his coat, but the
bridegroom swears he won't pay it."
