on short notice such arrangements
would be impossible, but even then we
would have to provide them with the or

Slow Eating.

The prevalent idea that slow eating is
very favorable to digestion is largely
fallacious. The important point is not
that we eat slowly or fast, but that
when we do eat we chew with energy.
OF course, when the haste is due to some
mental anxiety, that may injuriously
inhibit the secretion. Slow eating be-
gets habit of simply mumbling the
food without really masticating it,
while the hurried eater is inclined to
swallow his food before proper masti-
cation. Hence, hurried eating is bad,
but rapid mastication is advantageous.
1t concentrates our energies on the act
in question, and hence more thoroughly
accomplishes it. Moreover, energetic
chewing stimulates the secretion of
saliva in the most favorable manner.
These various points are so commonly
misunderstood, at least by the laity,
that they demand our frequent atten-
tion.-Journal of Mental and Nervous
Diseases.

door of my cell that was opened, but
little wicket about foot square, and
through this there flashed again
binding light, and the face of Babette
peered in. So malign was its aspect
that l shuddered in spite of myself, and
then, in a fury 1 could not control,
shouted out:
"Out of my presence, hag! Begone!"
"Oh, ho!" she laughed, "a time will
come when monsieur will go on his two
knees and pray to Babette-to good Ba-
bette-to kind Babette-in a day or so
it will be thus'-and she laughed
shrilly. But I go as you wish, to carry
your refusal to the captain"
She made a movement as if to go; but
cursing myself at very nearly having
spoilt it all, burst out: "Stay"-and
she looked back.
MONSIEUR" she grinned through
the wicket.
'See here" and in my eagerness my
voice was hoarse and thick, 800 crowns

of an asp, and between her half-parted
lips she hissed rather than spoke to
herself:
"Fif-teen hundred crowns! 1t is
the price of a barony-I, who have
taken life for half pstole!"

pleaded.
But the she devil, though sorely
tempted, was faithful. What dS Com
eron's power over her was | know not.
l could add nothing to my offer-I had
laid my all on the hazard, and it was
not to be done.
"Pouf!" she mocked, "you do not go
high enough. You do not promise the
palace in the moon. But ! waste my
time. Is it Yes or No. for the cap
tain?"
There was another chance still, and
would risk that. l made step nearer
the opening.
Give me something to drink, and
will answer at once"

but it is expensive, and monsieur,

out her hand.
Like flash I closed my fingers on her
wrist and drew in her hand to the full
length of the arm.
"If you scream, if you utter a sound, l
will tear your arm from its socket"
The answer was a shrek ;hat might
have been heard a half mile away, and
then a foul oath and q howl of pain.

was too much at stake to mince mat

Babette knew this, for she ceased to
utter a sound after that one long
scream, and fought in silence like she

She who could inflict such suffering

out: Free me, and promise-I prom

I only laughed and repeated my or

however, so that she could slip back
half pace or so from the wicket. Then

lance. He was a fool, after all, though,
at the same time, | could not but admit
that his move to get me to admit his in
nocence was skillful one; still, it was
q plot which might overreach itself. My
captors had eased me of my belt, which
was so we'll stuffed with pistoles. They
had not, however, had time or oppor-
tunity to search me further and had left
my clasp knife, which lay in my pocket,
as have said, together with a dozen or
so of gold pieces had kept there TO be
at hand. l pulled out the knife, and,
opening it, ran my fingers along the
blade. 1t was three inches or so in
length, but sharp as a razor; and with
it one might inflict an ugly wound in
struggle. I mapped out my plan
mentally. When de Gomeron came
again l should fell him as he en-
tered arm myself, if possible, by snatch
ing his sword, and then cut my way out
or be cut down. / had no doubt that I
might be able TO effect the first part cf
the programme. In those days was as
strong as bull, and there were few
men, especially if they were unpre-
pared, who could have stood a blow
from me. 1t was in act two that | might
come to grief. At any rate it should be
final and quick ending to the bust
ness, not the longdrawn-out agony
would otherwise have to endure. Now
that think of it, it was poor enough
plan, and it was lucky that, under
providence, another way was shown to
me. Such as it was, however, it was
the only thing that occurred to me at
that time, and it would not be for want
of effort on my part that it would fail

design into execution. Twenty-four
hours was long to wait, and 1 raved at
myself for having fixed such a time.
Morbleu! might have had the sense
to make it five, or three, or two hours!
| little guessed as l paced the cell I'm
patiently how many hours had passed
since de Gomeron left me, and that it
was impossible to measure time in that
loathsome dungeon. AS I sat brooding

had heard it under circumstances that

at rest by the fact that she was so well
known to de Gomcron-she probably

that her house was known as the Toi

FREE TO MILLIONS OP
SUFFERERS.
The New Cure for Kidney, BLADDER
and Uric Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is sure to know of Swamp
Root, the great Kidney remedy.
1t is the great medical triumph of tha
nineteenth century; discovered after
years of scientific research by the en-
inent kidney and bladder specialist, DR..
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble isresponsib for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing it.
Thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-Root, and thousands moro
who to-day think themselves beyond
help, can be made well by the use of
tais great remedy.
Swamp-Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue
cessful in every case, that a special ar
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al
ready tried it, may have sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail, Also a
book telling more about SwampRoot
and containing some of the thousands
upon thousands of testimonial letters
received from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative proper
ties of Swamp-Root. Be sure and men

"Your mother was old and feeble,
Her life-work was done. you know;

For twas someb body else's mother

But think OF the trouble and care
She Is saved; the sin, the suffering;
You ought to be willing to bear
The pain, since for her tits better"-
Such easy words to say
When twas somebody else's baby
Who had gone o'er the silent way.
But when twas my own dear mother
Who lay so still and white,
The loving lips all silent,
In the eyes no welcoming light,
Then where were those words of wisdom
That had been wont TO say
When twas somebody else's mother
Who had gone DER the silent way?
When 1 missed from my arms my baby
knew it were better 50;
She was safe-but the pain. the longing.
That only we mothers know.
Was all could feel; no echo
or the words I used to say
TO others, DrOuBht me comfort
When my baby went over the way.
Oh. friends, such words are empty
When the heart is bruised and soro
With the shock of our bereavement
We knew It all before,
But we only feel the anguish;
We have no words to say
or wisdom and resignation
When our own go over the way.
30 offer only silence,
The sympathizing tear,
The clasp of the hand, the blossoms
To strew DER the form so dear;
These bring to the sad heart comfort
Beyond aught one can say
When somebody else's dear ones
Have gone DER the silent way.
