A HEALTHFUL FAD.
Spinach is Now Called the Most Pre-.
ciOus of Vegetables.

ciOus of Vegetables.
From the New York Press.
If you want to be healthy eat spinach.
The specialists have discovered that this
plant is the most precious OF vegetables. ''
1t contains salts of potassium, iron and
other things which conduce to a good COM
plexion, long life and cheerful disposition.
The man with a disordered liver and wo-
man with bad complexion should contract
the spinach habit, and these things will be
rectifed If the system needs iron, eat
spinach and the yolk of eggs. The chemist
Bingo says that these two articles of food
contain. more iron to the square inch than
the most renowned ferruginous remedies. -
French beans and lentils contain much iron,
but spinach beats them both. For that
tired feeling eat spinach
Perhaps, when all the earth's supply of
iron has been dug UP and put into railroads
and machinery the Andrew Carnegie of
that far-off day will draw his supplies from
vast fields of spinach. This most precious
of vegetables has heretofore been only a
side dish at dinner, but in the future the
real hygienic family should make it the
principal dish and bring up the children on
it. 1t is said to possess more medicinal
properties than almost any other article
of food. So convinced has the medical pro-
feSSfOn become of the value of the once
despiSed spinach that, according to the sam
gredient in several new and salabie tonics'
Hereafter We expect to see the children
gathered at breakfast table, each having
in front of him large plate Of boiled spin
ach, with plenty of butter and hard
boiled egg sliced up on top of it. Spinach
really has some taste and is palatable and
after breakfast of this most precious
vegetable the child can go to school with
out feeling, as some of us did under the
oatmeal regime, that a glue pot had been
swallowed. Spinach is cheerful in color.
and wilf especially recommend itself to the
American from the Emerald Isle.
The iron in spinach is easily assimilated
and the vegetable is easily digested The
fact that spinach has such a remarkable
effect upon the complexion will recommend
1T to the girls. and it's beneficial effects on
the liver Will recommend it to the men.
In short, the virtues of the vegetable are so
numerous that it would take a long time to
tell them, but If the spinach habit grows to
anything like the. proportions reached by
the oatmeal habit We shah shortly turn into
a strong, iron-built, fresh-complexioned
anti-biiious nation.

SUGAR PICTURES,
4 New Way of Taking n Photopraph
I'm the Dark.

FROM the PittsbGrg Dispatch
There are many substances which emit
light when placed in darkness. Chief
among them is common brown sugar. Any
boy or girl may make photographs with
out a camera. First you must store your
sugar full of sunlight. This is easily done
Merely place your sugar on a board or in a
basin and lay it where the sun can shine
on it all day long. Ten hours of exposure
will ill it full of sunlight. Next procure
sensitive plate. being careful not 10 allow
any light to touch it Carry it into a dark
room; in fact, the experiment ought to be
performed at night in order to insure the
room being dark. A key. a coin or some
other small, fiat object should be photo
graphed.
Place your objects on the sensitive plate
and serinkle-sugar over them until they are
buried from sight. Leave the arrangement
until morning, when a photograph of the
objects will appear on the plate.
This is quite wonderful. but you may
make IL still more so by doing what Prof
McKissick of Auburn CAla-D Polytechnic
School did He placed his sensitive plate
in plate holder. This he laid on a table
in dark room. On the plate holder he
had key, a dime and piece of broken
glass. On these he placed block of wood
four inches thick. Then he spriTkled brown
sugar on top of the block. Over all he
spread black table cloth and left the ar
i"-ASo ~ va hiicS7 ONtT u4Snl- IN the
morning he found the key, dime and the bit
of broken glass perfectly photographed on
the sensitive plate. Now. you will observe
that the stored rays of light from the
sugar. in order to photograph the objects
on the plate, We're compelled first to pass
through four inches of wood.
1t will, therefore, be seen that the light
of the sugar was X-ray in its quality All
of the retransmttted light seems to possess
this quality. and at least the experiment
seems very wonderful to the uninitiafsd
1t would lead one TO think that there is no
such thing absolute darkness. Since
many substances emit stored light IL must
follow that what We ordinarily know as
darkness must be pierced by shafts of in
visible light. Perhaps cats are thus able to
see in the dark.

Rats Chewed Up Her Money,
From the Louisville courier-Journal-

from the LOUISVILLE Courfer-Journal-
Mrs. Mary O'Malley, a widow who Is
nearly fifty years OF age, and who hereto
fore has had no confidence in banks. now
rues her mistrust to the amount of about
$780, This sum represents the savings of
lifetime. She had earned the money by
hard work. sometimes as housekeeper and
sometimes as nurse. ALI her savings she
changed into 81, 81 and S. bills and deposit
ed them under the carpet in her room. Ae-
cording to her memorandum book she had
saved In this manner about $3.50. During
the past winter. however, she could not
add to her savings. Yesterday morning,
having occasion to spend some money for
repairs, she went to the hiding place and
reached for her money. She was startled
to ind there pile of almost unr'ecognizable
paper-ali that was left OF the $3.50 with
the utmost care she laid 1t out and found
that some OF the bills were sufficiently In
tact TO tell what once they had been, but
most of them were chewed to bits. uniouht.
