COMMON SENSE PIE EATING.
One Man Has Learned the Art of
Leaving the Best Part of the
Cut to the Last.

Three or tour chosen friends were
in one of the little Park row restau-
rants few nights ago, where the ten
der bean vies with the leathery -four
ball, better known as the "sinker," in
popularity, when the attention of all
was attracted to the manner in which
one of them commenced operations on
a section of pie. Passing over the
thick middle portion, he cut off a
piece of the edge where the upper and
lower crust join with the sharp steel
knife. This devoured, ne proceeded
along the arc of the outer edge until
it had all vanished, says the New York
Times. Then he began to go into the
resultant triangle from the base.
81 never saw anybody eat piece
of pie that way" said one.
"No; neither did l." said the owner
of the pie. S'I learned that trick 20
years ago. I was watching some folks
at stand-up lunch counter putting
at the poInt-the apex of it. I sup
pose that was right under military
tactics, but I thought that I would
just try tie other way, and I've stuck
to it ever since. Never once have [
eaten pie from the point. You see,
it saves the very best for the last, and
so leaves pleasant memory"
And then the morsel remaining ON
his plate, just the part where the
fruit was thickest, and the crust thin
nest, disappeared and the party
turned their attention to a we'll
dressed stranger. whom none had ever
beheld in that place before, who was
making a desperate but hopeless at
tack on a lukewarm "sinker' with a
knife and fork, instead of using ma
ture's weapons of tooth and nail, and
wondered if he Eaa some equally good
reason for his course

Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New

about Majors Cement
The multitudes who use this standard arti-

claims are made, but a great many do not
know why The simple reason Is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them, be-
large profits. Mr.. Major tells US that one of
the elements of his cement costs 1915 pound,
and another s.. IS ga4lon, while large share
OF the so-called dement's and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue.

cases. altered slightly ii color and odOr by the
addition of cheap and useless materials.
Majors Cement retalls at 10 cents and 20
cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell
substitute you can depend upon IT that his
only object is to make d larger profit
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit OF Mr.. Ma
jors advertising, which now amounts to over
s.. 900 a month, throughout the country. Es-

nation for sheriff and did it easily.
Jefferson county is by no means hope
Less as a field for Republican candi-
cate for this Office, as has been proven
II the past, and with one SO generally
popular as Mr.. Gosa there is unusual
reason to expect his election. In his
business career at Palmyra as a stock
asuyer and shipper he has been
Frfuught into intimate relation with a
good part of the farmers of Jefferson

devote it's efforts in other directions.
State Chairman Warden S request for
such notable speakers as Bourke Cock

Congressman Bailey and Lentz has
been refused and they will therefore
not be heard in Wisconsin. 1t is said

Sugar in the Human System,

Sugar is q substance that dissOlyes
easily and in considerable quantity in
water. When in solution 1t easily pass
es through animals membrane by o.
mosis, and so the question of its absorp-
ton seemed simple enough. The d.
sease diabstes showed, however. that
sugar might exist very plentifully IN the
blood and YET the nutrition OF an indi-
viduaI suffer very much for the lack of
il. Something else besides its mere
presence in the system was necessary to
secure it's consumption by the tissues.
Bernard thought that the liver wes
active 10 the consumption OF sugar and
that disease Of this organ caused dia-
betes. He therefore secured some of
the blood gong to the liver OF living
animal and some OF the blood that was
just leaving 1t. To his surprise, the
blood leaving the liver contained more
sugar than that entering it.
After assuring himself that his OBJ
servations were correct, he tried his ex
pertinent in different ways. He found
that even in the blood leaving the liver
of 40 animal that had been fed only on
substances containing no sugar, sugar
could be demonstrated. Even in q fast
ing animal the liver itself and the blood
leaving il showed the presence Of n form
Of sugar.
The only possible conclusion from
this was that the liver WAS capable OF
manufacturing this form OF sugar out Of
nonsugar containing material, or even
from the blood OF fasting ANIMAL

Lowest Rates in the World.

While the shippers and travellers are
always kicking over the charges made
by the railroads in the United States
for transportation, Investigation shows
that the rates charged by the railroads
in this country are the lowest in the
world. The average rate per ton per
mile received by the railroads in the
year 1888 was but 1850 and the average
rate per passenger per mile 1.994c.
The lsteet authentic figures compiled
% 10 the average rate per ton per mile
shows that 10 Great Britain it is 2.Sc. in
France 2.2c, and in Holland. where the
average rate received per ton per mile
is the lowest Of that Of any country on
the other side Of the water, it was 1.46c.
The differance between the average rate
received per passenger per mile by the
railroads Of Europe and the United
States is almost as great as that shown
above IN the freight rates.
The tendency OF both freight and pas
senger rates 10 the United States for
years has been downward. The railroads
in this country now transport freight OF
some classes at figure that wouldn't
have covered the cost to them OF render
ing the same service a few years back.
For example, the Pennsylvania Railroad
east Of Pittsburg and Erie IN 1850 re-
ceiyed an average freight rate OF 2.76c
per ton per mile; from that year the
rates declined until in 1893 the average
rate psr ton per mile was but .499c. In
the same period the average rate per
passenger per mile decreased from 2.63sc
To 832c
