A Nutritious Food.

Macaroni ranks high as an aliment OF
nutritious power, being formed chiefly
Of the gluten, the most valuable part of
the wheat from which the starch has
been removed Weight for weight, says
an authority on the subject OF food,
macaroni may be regarded as not less
valuable for fleshmaking purposes in
the animal economy than beef and
mutton Most people can digest 1t more
easily and rapidly than meat. 1t offers,
therefore, an admirable substitute for
meat, particularly for lunch or midday
meals, among those whose employments
demand continuous attention during the
whole of long afternoon
Macaroni might, with advantage to
the public and especially to city men,
who are closely occupied between break
fast and dinner, be prepared at the res
taurants as a staple dish in two or three
forms, since it sustains the power with
out taxing too much the digestion or
rendering the individual heavy, sleepy
and incompetent afterward.

The Cause OF Laughter.

Balm suggests the explanation that
laughter is provoked by what he calls
degradation, meaning that we laugh
when we all at once perceive something
degrading, a trickery, weakness or "a
pettiness in some person or object which
we respect, as when the infirmities of
human nature disclose themselves in
person of Importance or when some
trivial affair occurs i'll solemn cere-
mony to drag us down or when the
wrong side of some great thing or some
great man is exposed.
1.-The occasion of the laughter is the
degradation of a diSnified person or in
terest under circumstances that do not
excite stronger emotion In all theo-
ries of laughter the more or less impor-
tant fact is marked that the feel
ing of the ludicrous arises when some
thing which we respected before is pre-
scented in a mean light, for we have no
disposition to laugh when something
that we already regarded as such is de-
picted as tricky aud vile. Popular

Dangerous Thief.

A French actress, travelling about the
country, had for use in one OF her plays
a lay figure, skillfully put together and
dressed in travelling suit So says the
New York Herald, which proceeds TO
tell comical story about it,
At Marseilles il was left in the lug
gage room with other things. The Curl
osity of two of the railway employees
being aroused at the sight of it, they
took off the coverings and resolved to
play joke on their comrades. They
placed the figure in an armchair at the
desk Of the cashier and shut the door.
When the employees OH night service
came, they opened the door and were
surprised TO see man sitting before the
cash box They Immediately closed and
locked the door and ran for assistance.
A policeman arrived, revolver in
hand, believing, like the employees,
that he had to deal with dangerous
thief. He called on the figure to sur
render and follow him to the station.
As it did not obey the summons, the pc
liceman shut the door and went il
search of re-enforcements to surround
the place and thereby prevent the cul
prit from escaping.
The door was again opened, the arm
ed force entered, and it was not till they
had suddenly bounced on the poor lay
robber that they discovered the joke.

Feather Beds and pillows.

Feather beds have been to a great ex-
tent displaced by mattresses of various
kinds, but they are still used more or
less in one part of the country and an
other, and some feather beds are still
sold in New York city and its vicinity,
chiefly to people from foreign countries
who have always been accustomed to
feather beds in their own lands and
cling TO them here.
The feathers used for bedding come
from geese, ducks and chickens, the
first being the most costly A great
many of the duck feathers come from
China. Some of the goose feathers come
from China and some from Europe, but
the greater part of them are from this
country and from the west and south
west, many goose feathers coming from
Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky.
While feather beds are less used than
formerly. feather pillows continue
everywhere in as common use as ever

Bird Shot as Bullets.

Shooters who go out into the woods

bird shot can be used as bullet if the
occasion demands it. Take cartridge,
and with sharp knife cut the she'll al

wads are above the powder. Leave the
upper half of the cartridge attached to
the lower half by two pieces of shell,
one on each side Of it. When the gun
is fired, this upper half is torn away
from the lower half and leaves the bar

shell with the wad at its base makes

felt at this, as with little practice the

There is "a movement among certain

feet the scheme The players want to
protect themselves, and all cases of OPP

presidents will be fought out in the
courts. 1t is intended to retain counsel
by the year. This is not the first time
the players have tried to form an or
ganization of their own. The Brother
hood league was also started by the
players, who thought that they were
not receiving a square deal, and its dis
bandment after one unsuccessful season
convinced the players of their folly, as
it caused general slump in baseball,
which lasted for several years, and also
caused a reduction in salaries. The
presidents and owners will probably
take hanC in this new scheme if 1t
proves to menace the future of the
