There is a great difference in the COM

that it is especially useful as a food
Skimmilk cheese is especially rich in

Those who abstain from flesh food will

Dad Dr.. Johnson Eat Horsef

Dr. Johnson ia his journal mentions
the interesting fact that he had on u
certain day had "palfrey for dinner.
Now these three words have caused not
q little trouble Co the critics, and for
this reason, that they know not what
palfrey really is Ii has been suggested
that palfrey is a clerical error made by
the doctor himself tor pastry, but the
doctor wrote SO legibly. and there is so
muos difference between the words pal
frey AMI pastry that this position is not
at all tenable.
Palfrey is defined in Johnson's cele-
brated dictionary a. "a small horse mt
for ladies, and some have thought that
the doctor (whose feats as trencher-
man were notorious) may have broken
a record on the day in question and dis
posed Of small horse. All these and
other conjectures are wrong, and we
will proceed to give the correct explana'
ton.
The word palfrey sometimes pamfrey
by the interchange of and m) Is still in
use among the Iustics of Scotland and
the north of Ireland, and means young
cabbages when they first come to table
in the spring. Such cabbages have not
begun to "close" or become solid in the
center. They are generally spoken of as
"early pamfrey" and are considered a
luxury. DR.. Johnson probably picked up
the word from his friend Boswell or
from some other Scotch acquaintance -

Russian horsemen were coming on

highlanders. Then, as the beat Of the
hostile troops sounded deeper and loud

two deep line of the Ninety third. The
men were eager to run forward and

Campbell. "D-n all that eagernessH"
He had previously ridden down the
line and told his soldiers: Remember,
there is no retreat from here, men. You
must die where you stand. And from
the killed privates came the cheerful
answer, AYE, aye, Sir Colin; We'll do

The Russians were now within range,
and the fire of the highlanders rang out
sudden and sharp. A few horses and
men came tumbling down, and the Rus

Effect of Lime on the system.

A medical scientist is authority for
the statement that children and old
people especially suffer from a lack of
lime in the system. Persons who habit
ually drink soft water, while they may
enjoy immunity from certain Of the ills
of life, expose themselves to others per.
haps quite as much TO be avoided Hard
water helps the teeth and the bones by
furnishing lime, which is necessary to
health, growth and development Old
persons who drink but little lose their
teeth more quickly than those who take
reasonable amount of drinking water.
Lime, or food products in which it
abounds, should be part of the regu
lar supply furnished to the system.
One of the most valuable vegetables for
this purpose is the yellow turnip or
ruta baga, which should be given to
growing children at least once a week.
Properly prepared, it is very relishable
and its food value has never been appre-
ciated

Ruined by Mules.

NJ p LIE Grand, an Alabama farmer,
says that many negroes in the south are
ruined by mules and he thinks he has
proved it. lie owns great deal OF farm
land, which he rents to negroes on CON
dition that they shall do their work
with an OK instead of a mule. As re-
suit, all his tenants are prosperous and
pay their rent promptly. The OK, he ex-
plains, is entirely capable in all the re.
quirements Of the cotton patch, but he
has his limitations, and his colored mas
ter does not think Of mounting him and
riding off on useless errands or pleasure
trips AS the negro cannot ride to dis
tant churches, cake walks or hoe
downs, and as he will not walk, he
goes to bed and is rested and ready for
labor in the morning.
So far as the inference from this ex-
pertinent goes. the negro, plus mule,
is shiftless and unreliable citizen, but
eliminate the mule and substitute an
OK, and he becomes regular in his hab.
its, businesslike and prosperous. New
