Wars Caused Vy Salic Law

Nearly all the historic wars that
have taken place in Europe since the
days of the first crusade may he at
tributed to the eN Nistence of the Sale
law, and even in the present century
sanguinary struggles have taken place
on It's account. Great Britain and
Russia are the only two countries
where 1t has never secured any foot
hold and neither the one nor the other
has ever had any reason for regret.
since the Sovereigns who have con-
tributed most largely to the glory of
the country have been women.
Put it is still in force in Denmark,
in Sweden, in Prussia and all the other
Federal States of the German Empire,
as well as in Belgium, Italy, Rouma-
mia, Seryia, Bulgaria and Greece, the
national constitutions of which, being
of mere mushroom character, and
drawn up by enlightened statesmen of
the present century. might reasonably
be expected TO be more up to date and
free from such mediaeval preiudices
and doctrines. In two of the three
countries which are now ruled by
women-namely. England and Holland
the greatest degree of peace and
prosperity prevails, the two Queens
displaying common sense ,enlichtened
craftsmanship and political sagacty.
Spain, Portugal and Holland have
within the last hundred years erased
the law from their statute books and
have benefited by the change, while
since the reign OF Maria Theresa and
the Seven Years War 1t exists only in
modified form in Austria. and. per
haps. net at all in the Kingdom of
Hungary.

Apples as Medicine.

Chemically, the apple is composed of
vegetable fiber albumen, sugar, gum,
chiorOphyH, malic acid, gallic acid,
lime and much water. Furthermore,
the apple contains Il larger percentage
of phosphorus than any other fruit
or vegetable. This phosphorus is ad-
mirably adapted for renewing the es-
scntial nervous matter, lethicin of the
brain and spinal cord. 1t is perhaps
Tor the same reason. rudely under
stood, that old Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple aS the food of the
gods, who, when they felt themselves
TO be growing feeble and intirm, resort
ed to this fruit for renewing their
powers of mind and body. Also the
acids of the apple are of great use for
men of scdentary habits, whose livers
are sluggish in action, these acids serv-
ing to eliminate from the body noX-
ious matters, which if retained would
make the brain heavy and dull, or
bring about jaundiCe or skin eruptons
and other allied troubles. Some such
experience must have led to our Gus
tom of taking appl" sauce with roast
pork, rich goose, and like dishes. The
malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutra!iZe any excess of
chalky matter engcndered by eating
too much meat. 1t is also fact that
such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear
and the plum, when taken ripe, and
without sugar, diminish acidity in the
stomach, rather than provoke it.
Their vegetable salts and juices are
converted into alkaline carbonates,
which tend to couuteract acidity. A
ripe, raw apple is one of the easiest
vegetable substances for the stomach
to deal with, the whole process of the
digestion being completed in eighty
five minutes. Gerard found that the
''pulpe of roasted apples mixed in n

SOME QUEER APPETlTES.
Ostriches and Gnats Are Not Alone i
the Possession of Them.


The novel operation mentioned w.
Gently of the removal of over stS
inches of hatpin from the neck of a
Kitten is not altogether without pre-
cedent.
Kittens and puppies, and cats and
dogs, 1t was stated, are frequent suf-
fers from lack of discrimination in
swallowing things never intended for
consumption Hatpins, meat-skewers,
knitting needles, and ordinary needles
ana pins are among the articles they
nave been known to swallow. Only
recently tiny fox terrier was sub
m1tted for professional examination on
what was supposed to be an abscess
on the side. The surgeon, however,
decided that foreign body was pres
ent, ana nothing could of course be
zone without the merciful aid of chic
foform, for II Is both interesting and
gratifying to know that even the least
painful operation Is never attempted
until the animal to be operated upon
Is placed temporarily beyond the reach
of pain. The results of this operation
disclosed the presence of Il wooden
meat-skew,er in the terriers stomach,
with the point projecting between its
ribs. The obstacle was successfully
removed and today the tiny pet Is as
friSky rs ever 1t was.
Another small spaniel paid the pen
atty of its righteousness with its life.
mainly owing to the fact that its
owner was comparatively poor man.
One morning the dog entered the bed
room. and bouncing upon the dressing
table, Tapped up diamond stud worth
five or six guineas. Ordinary cmptics
had no effect, and unfortunately undcr
chloroform on the operating table the
surgeon was unsuccessful in Gslodg.
ing the stud. At the wish of the
owner Il further supply of the drug
was given, and II pOst-mortem revealed
the missing gem.
1t is attributed to some cats that
they show an Incorporate inclination
for wine coIks. and frequently Swal-
low them. Others swallow needles.
which gradually work out through
their skin, and there is case on
record of an omnivorous goat that
swallowed II packet of small needles.
and for some months afterward owing
to its porcupine exterior, was n ter

to take seat on its back.

Whale ISutchcry.

The progress of our age has played
havoc with many time-honored indus
tries, but on the other hand has caused
new ones to spring up and take their
places. Whaling in bygone times was
dangerous business. Sailing vessels
fitted out for the purpose had to take
along not only a crew of hardy whale
hunters, but also men skilled in cut
ting the lard from the leviathian's S
sides, cooking it and placing the blub-
Der into oil barrels, Carried along for
the purpose. A large quantity of fat
and other materials was always vast
ed no matter how careful the captain
and crew went to work. To-day whal-
ing is carried on differently. Steamers
fitted with all the modern appliances
and covering ten times the ground of
sailing vessel are out after the great
cetaccans. When they catch "A whale

cause of their improved facilities they
obtain more than twice as much oil,
and since the meat of the whale makes
splendid fertilizer and they derive
another large source of income by sell
ing whale hides and skeletons for mu-
seums to dealers in curios, they are do
ing very well. They employ at the
present 100 men, most of them in
former years sailors on board of the
whalers.-Philadelph Record.
