whv We sertn With Soup.

The rationale of the initial soup has
often been discussed. Some regard it
as calculated to diminish digestive
power on the theory that so much fluid
taken at first dilutes the gastric juices.
But there appears to be no foundation
for this belief A clear soup disap-
pears almost Immediately after enter
ing the stomach and in no way inter-
feres with gastric juice which is stor-
ed in its appropriate cells ready for ac-
ton. The habit of commencing dinner
with soup has without doubt its origin
in the fact that aliment in this fluid
form-in fact, already digested-soon
enters the blood and rapidly refreshes
the hungry man. who. after a consid-
cradle fast and much activity, sits
down with a sense Of exhaustion to
commence his principal meal.
In two or three minutes after he has
taken plate of good warm soup the
feeling Of exhaustion disappears, and
irritability gives way TO gradual ris-
ing sense of good fellowship with the
circle. The soup introduces at once
into the system small installment Of
ready digested food and saves the
short period of time which must be
spent by the stomach in deriving some
nutriment from solid aliment, as well
as indirectly strengthening the organ
of digestion itself for its forthcoming
duties.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

BY this time the telescope man had

Didn't Fool the 'Snuuo"'
Inspector Conquest tells many enter
tanning anecdotes of his relations with
Mr. Gladstone. whom he was specially
told off to shadow" during the trou-
blous times of 1881. The premier. who,
as Is well known, chafed under the
vicilant supervision to which he was
subjected, was fertile in eXpedients to
get rid of the detective. Upon one occa-
sion he attempted a particularly In
renious ruse. Entering club, OF which
he was member, he persuaded a
friend of about his own build to walk
out wearing his unmistakable hat and
oyercoat and carrying his umbrella.
Mr.. Gladstone hoped. Of course, that
his unwelcome attendant might be mis-
led In the dusk OF an autumn evening
and thus allow an opportunity to es-
cape.
The astute detective saw the familiar
garments leaving the club, but was not
deceived as to the identity of their
wearer. Gait is one of the most diff
cult things in the world to initiate, and
Mr.. Gladstone's was intensely charac-
teristlc. Inspector Conquest simply
walked UP 10 the wearer Of borrowed
plImes, administered his most profess
sional tap on the shoulder and said, Il
believe. sir, you have just left that
club with another gentleman's proper
ty in your possession" Mr.. Gladstone
never attempted to elude his shadow"
after that.-London Chronicle.

Rough on the Reporter.

The late Sir John Macdonald once
gave orders to the leading Ottawa pa
per that his speeches were always to
be reported verbatim, as he prided
himself on the perfection Of his ex-
tempore style. But on one occasion,
when he spoke after dining generous
ly, the reporters notes turned out so
incoherent that the editor took fright
and sent the young man to get Sir
Johns own revision Of his remarks.
That statesman gravely corrected the
reporters literal transcript Of what he
had said and as gravely said to him on
taking leave: Young man, let me give
you q piece Of advice, of which I fear
you stand in need. Never touch liquor"

Hosrseness in child that is subject
