The participants in a swell wedding last
week have been whispering among them
selves the question, Who is it? 1t happens
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-31

that one OF the party volunteered to stand
at the door and inspect the cards as pre-
scented by the invited guests with a scrutiny
that would keep out unlimited intruders. He
stood there mechanically receiving the white
pasteboards, just as he would have done in
taking tickets at a thcater, without looking
at the people who presented them. One
un~accompanied woman came up without a
card.
Cards, p]lease2" asked the accommodating
young man.
81 have no card, came the answer.
n one is permitted to go in except those
with cards"
Well, am a relative OF the groom
At hat moment the card-taker elevated
his eye and recognized the mother Ct one
OF the necessary parties to the ceremony and
apologies naturally followed.
But they are still asking, who is it?
One young Omaha society man, so the
story goes, received a Christmas present
which he is not exhibiting in public. This
young man, who, by the way. moves in
the highest circles, prides himself upon all
round good-followship and thinks he Is
licensed to do as Romans do when he is
in Rome. 1t happens he was meandering
up Sixteenth street before the holidays and
happened upon an acquaintance whom he
would not have invited to the |cotillion or
tho dinner dance. He also happened to
stroll by an i~tinerant photographer, who
was just mean enough to snapshot him as
he passed along. A handsomely mounted
print from the negative found its way into
his Christmas stocking, much to his sur
prise, the figures appearing so distinctly
that he could not mistake them. Nobody,
Of course, would know anything about this.
were it not for an inquisitive sister who
wanted to know whose picture he had, al
though naturally enough her inquisitiveness
has not yet been satisfied.

ADDles as Medicine.

Chemically, the apple is composed or
vegetable fiber albumen, sugar, gum,
chiorophyll, malic acid, gallo acid,
lime and much water. Furthermore,
the apple contains larger percentage
of phosphorus than any other FRUIT
or vegetable. This phosphorus Is ad-
nirably adapted for renewing the es-
sential nervous matter, lethicln, OF the
brain and spinal cord. 1t is perhaps
for 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 sedentary habits, whose livers
are sluggish in action, these acids sery-
ing to eliminate from the body nox-
ious matters. which if retained would
make the brain heavy and dull, or
bring about jaundicc or skin eruptionS
and other allied troubles. Some such
experience must have led to our Gus
tom of taking apple sauce with roast
pork, rich goose, ami like dishes. The
malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or
cooked, will neutralize 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 cOuntrlact 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

INVENTIONS OF ANCIENT TIMES.


The belt of thin copper worn by the
ancient Roman soldier was fastened to
strip OF cloth, for lining, in very
simple way-namely, by a series of
those little clamps which to-day are
commonly employed for holding q
number of sheets Of paper together
Indeed. the well-known McGill paper
fastener. out of which the patentee has
made a large fortune, is nothing more
or less than an exact reproduction OF
die device described in common use at
least $500 years ago.
In the collection referred to are u
number of fishhoOks. not less than
5000 years old, obtained from Swiss
lake dwellings. They are of bronze,
and as to shape are exactly like
modern patterns; they have the same
curves and the same barbS, with a
similar expansion at the top of the
shank for the attachment of the line.
But for the metal of which they are
composed they might have been made
Yesterday. The very fact that they
are of bronze is proof Of their great
antiquity. referring them to a prehls-
toric epoch. All Of European history
belongs to the post-bronzc or iron age.
Other curios from the ancient Etrus-
can tombs are straners. ladies', spoons
and knives Of bronze There Is a fine
tooth comb Of ivory, in shape pre-
ciSelv like the fine tooth combs of to-
day. Not less interesting are bronze
mirrors which have the same shape as
the modern toilet glass with handle.

There are raZorS. also of bronze,
which may have been we'll enough in
their day. though it must have been
pretty hard work to shave with them.
Their shape was very different from
the modern. being that of n crescent,
with a small handle.
Among the most plentiful of the OBJ
iects got from the Etruscan tombs are
great pins with big round heads which
In shape are exactly like the modern
hatpins. Indeed, there can be 10 ques.

rived from this source. 1t is popularity
IMAGINED that the button with a per-
foratcd shank is n comparatively new
invention. but it is not so at all. as
is proved by the fact that bronze but

more anciently. The collar stud is

make two splendid punch bowls out
of which twenty men could drink all

1t was discovered in Madagascar
by famous French naturalist, and
many people were made To believe at
the time of its discovery that the egg

Sittings of the Paris Academy Of
Sciences are not often interesting A
recent one was an exception, although
the topic was discovery made by NJ.
Matrouchot about such insignificant
creatures as bacteria. But it appears
that these little beings do many things
besides the dissemination OF maladies.
They produce col@ring stuffs for in
stance. and this is how that talent has
been discovered. A few years ago
flowers of paradOXical Colors appeared
In windows and at button holcs-green
carnations. blue roses and other hor-
ticultural monsters This was the re-
suit of either plunging the leaves into
a chemical dye or else placing the stalk
in a solution of aniline salts of the
hue desired whereupon the liquid as
cended in virtue of capillary attrac-
ton. In all this tnere was nothing
eSthctic, but useful results may be OBJ
tanned for the anatomy and physiology
of plants. For in the world of bacteria
and haCilli there are organisms which
possess the property of Secreting color
Ing stuffs. They called chromogenous
bacteria. Now NJ Matruchot cult
waited one of these together with a
flbrous fungus. and found that the
pigment or cOloring stuff secreted by
the bacteria impregnated and tinted
the substance of the fungus without
affecting its vital qualities. This nat
ural colOring process is only partial
1t is invariably restricted to certain re-
gions of the protoplasm. Thanks to
this discovery, it will now he possible

also confidently hoped that what
has been done for the simple cell may
be speedily rendered possible for com

drawn by NJ. Matruchot from his dis
covery. and he intends to turn his eff
forts in that direction.
