Justice In Haiti.

Judicial procedure in Haiti Is In GER
tain instances not untouched by hui
NOR. \ Haitian owed a trader SIS. \
judgment requiring the Haitian TO pay
81 week into court was given, and
the trader was to send messenger
every week to the magistrate for the
money. In due time he sent for the
first installment and was Informed
that the Haitian had not paid up. but
that he should be thrown into prison
for his failure.
Three weeks passed with the same
result. One morning the Haitian came
to the traders store. He was, he said,
a poor man, much married. a man to
whom, therefore, expense came. What
good, he asked, would accrue TO the
trader If he, the poor man, was thrown
into prison? Let the trader forgive
him his debt and earn thereby untold
rewards in future state.
After some talk the trader gave him
a letter of remission, which he went off
to present to the magistrate. The ar
fair was settled, but the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him, and he
forthwith returned to the trader and
asked him If he had received the So lie
had already paid into court. The trad
er looked surprised and said he had
received nothing.
Then. since you have RENTED the
debt, that So is mine," said the Hal
tan
Accordingly, he went off to the court
to present his claim. The magistrate
at once committed him to prison. A
ronsui who had heard the story asked
the magistrate what the Haitian was
sent to prison for.
For contempt of court" was the
reply

EFFECTIVE rREPRooFs:
Psyxon Tucker Had q Quick Eye and
Pointed Methods.

Two incidents in the railroad life OF
lustrate what 4 worker he was and
his attention to the details of business.
Several years ago he was up on the
mountain division of the Maine Cen
trail road and looked over the grounds
Of one of the stations. Nothing more
than the usual conversation passed,
and he returned TO his car and went
back to Portland. Nearly year pass
ed before he had occasion to call ut
the station again. and then he stepped
OF the car and asked pleasantly:
do You have all the help you want
hereY
Eyes, sir; all that we need
"Quite sure you have enough"
Eyes. sir. There Is not much to be
done at so small a station"
well, 1 feared you were rushed to
death and could not find time to re-
move that pile of old bricks saw the
last time 1 was here"
With that the general manager Of
the road stopped over the pile of bricks
and, without removing his kid gloves,
continued the work until the last one
was neatly piled up.
AT another time q break had been
committed at one OF the stations on
the back road. and the next day after
the notice of the break had been wired
to Portland Mr.. Tucker CHANGED to
pass that way. After looking things
over, Mr.. Tucker asked what had been
lost, and the agent quickly ran over
the amount of money and tickets
stolen.
THAT allT' asked Mr.. Tucker, when
the agent had concluded
yes, sir; nothing else"
THAT so" said Mr.. Tucker. taking

The EIrnt Cnnkhnnk.

To the Romans belong the honor OF
having produced the first European
cookery book. and. though the author
ship is uncertain, 1T is generally attrib-
uted to Cselius Apicus, who lived I'M
der Trajan, ia A. D. Here are two
recipes from this ancient collection:
First, for sauce to be eaten with
boiled fowl, put the following ingredi-
ents into a mortar: Anlseed, dried mint
and lazer root; cover them with vine
gar, add dates and pour In liquamen Ia
distilled liquor made from large fish
which were sailed and allowed TO turn
putrid in the SUM. oil and a small
quantity of mustard seeds. Reduce all
to a proper thickness with sweet wine
warmed. and then pour this same over
your chicken, which should previously
be boiled IN aniseed water"
The second recipe shows the same
queer mixture Of ingredients: Take
a wheeIbarrow OF rose leaves ana
pound in a mortar; add to 1t brains Of
two pigs and two tbrushes boiled and
mixed with the chopped up yoIk OF egg,
oil, vinegar, pepper and wine. Mix
and pour these together and stew them

known as heterogeneous compounds ana
carbon compounds.
The former are absolutely necessary for
the growth and repair OF the body. The
heterogeneous compounds are variously
called albuminoids, proteIds and flesh
formers and without the assistance OF
these afbuminoids. or of one of them, the
substance of true muscular flesh cannot
be formed.
The heterogeneous compounds include
albumin, fibrin and casein. Lean meats,
eggs, milk. fish, peas. beans, nuts and the
gluten of -four are all sources from which
We derive heterogeneous substances. Natur-
ally, heterogeneous foods are, as a rule.
mixed with other food principles. In tie
animal food We always have fat, various
salts and sometimes phosphorus and sui
phuf. Many vegetable foods are rich m
nitrogen though others are almost or en-
drely without It. Thus We see how gen.
erously nature has supplied US with prop
er material for building up a perfect body
and keeping 1t in repair.
The heterogeneous substances are COM
posed OF carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and
nitrogen.
Carbon Compounds.
These are valuable on account OF the
heat and force they produce. but alone
they cannot sustain life for any great
length of time. They are less exciting
and more economical than heterogeneous
substances.
Starch, sugar and fats belong to this
group. Vegetable oils which are included
ara most abundant in the fruit and seeds
OF plants The carbon compounds are
sometimes called combustibIe food. be-
cause they burn in the body as fuel in
the furnace, producing heat and force.
Carbon compounds are composed of car
bon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Mineral Foods.
Besides the heterogeneous and carbon
compounds we have another class of
foods most essential to the health of all
living animals. These are the incombus-
tible compounds, the mineral foods, in
Guiding water, salts or mineral matter,
common salt and phosphate of lime.
Water carries the nutritive materials
and waste products and forms an essen
tial part of all tissues. Mineral matter
serves to effect changes and build up
certain tissue.

VIOLIN AND SONG.
ed nothing but his violin,

He'd nothing but his violin,
I'D nothing but my song
But We were wed when skies were blua
And summer days were long
And when We rested by the hedge
The robins came and told
How they had dared to and win
When early spring was cold.
We sometimes supped On dewberries
Or slept among the hay.
But Oft the farmers wives at eve
Came out 20 hear play
The rare old tunes, the dear old tunes;
We could not starye for long.
While my man had his violin
And my sweet love song.
The world has aye gone well with Us,
Old man, since we were one;
Our homeless wandering down the lAneA
II long ago was done.
But those who walt for gold or gear,
For houses and for kline,
Till youths sweet spring grows brown anc
scar
And love and beauty tine
viii never know the JOY of hearts
That met without a fear
When you had but your violin
And 1 q song, my dear.
