VALUE OF FAT FOODS.
An Eminent Authority Thinks their
Use Would Prevent Consumption.

News and Courier.
In the outset of an interesting paper
In the current number of the Santa.
rum, headed "Stamina, With Special
Reference to the Consumpt of Fat
Food for It's Maintenance and as a Pre-
ventive Of Tuberculosis" DR.. A. N.
Bell remarks that an extended obser-
walton and careful study Of the rela-
tiOn Of that disease to food, has led
him to the conclusion that other things
being equal tubercular diseases are
prevalent in inverse ratio to the use of
tat OF some kind as an article OF diet,
and his paper is devoted to the pur.
pose of vindicating his view.
The article is too long to be repro
duced here, and we can only commend
1t, therefore, to the attention OF medi.
cal men and others who are particular
ly Interested In It's important subject,
and give the substance OF a. few pas
sages indicative of it's general char

some cases, strong repugnance to it,

however, this condition is an indica-
tion for the use of such food, and cod
liver oil, plain or emulsified, is almost
universally the fret remedy resorted
to, and most persistently urged. Other
forms OF fat, however, are equally or
moro etficaciOus. DR.. Bell has often
found butter or bacon, "the most d.
gestible OF all fat foods," to he more
acceptable, and that form of it which
Ia most acceptable Is best. He lays
great stress on the use Of the two kinds
named, or OF any kind that Ia suitable
for food.
The exemption OF the inhabitants OF
Arctic regions from consumption has
been remarked by many writer's, and
is commonly attributed to the extreme
cold Of such regions. DR.. Bell notes.

Theory Of Hunger.

We all know when we are hungry,
but we do not know why we are hun
CRY? The unscientific person will re-
ply that we are hungry because we
need food, and this is certainly true.
Professor Appenheimer, of Heidel-
berg, agrees with this, but he agrees
that there is much more to be said on
the subject.
According to the professor, the sen.
sation of hunger is felt by the human
being whenever the food supply that
nourishes the stomach is deficient in
quality On the other hand, the long
ing for food disappears whenever the
stomach is filled, for at that time
through the process of digestion, the
necessary supply of blood is furnished
for the nourishment of the stomach
This rule does not hold good in the
case of many invalids, as, for example
those suffering from chlorosis, since
various tests show that they do not
feel hunger even when there is no
food in their stomachs.
The reason for this. says the profess
sor, is because there is, as a rule too
much blood in the vessels that serve
for purposes of nutrition. Whenever
the stomach is more or less out of or
der in consequence of a deficient blood
supply, certain stimulus acts on the
nerves, which are thus excited until
they cause the well-known sensation
known as hunger.

JOE JEFFERsoN's NAP.
Effect It Had Upon an Irish Hotel
Porter,

A good story is told of an expert
ence of Joseph Jefferson, the great ac-
tor. A number of years ago he played
one-night engagement in small In
diana town, appearing in his favorite
part of Rip Van Wrinkle. In the hotel
in which he stopned was an Irishman
recently landed who acted as por-
ter and general assistant. Judged by
the deep and serious interest he took
in the house, he might have been

At about o'clock in the morning
Mr.. Jefferson was startled by violent
humping on the door. When he strug-
gled into consciousness and realized
that he had left no cali order at
the office he was naturally very indig-
nant. But his sleep was spoiled for
that morning, so he arose and soon
after appeared before the clerk.
See here" he demanded of that in
dividual, ''why was called at this I'M
earthly hour?"
81 don't know, sir" answered the
clerk. 'Ill ask Mike"
The Irishman was summoned. Said
the clerk: Mike, there was no call
for Mr.. Jefferson. Why did you dis
turb him?"
Taking the clerk by the lapel of the
coat the Hibernian led him to one side
and said, in a mysterious whisper:

Texas Under Six FLAGS.

Scarcely another state in the union
has as remarkable an interesting
history as Texas. In one respect at
least it occupies unique position in
the history of American states. Since
its discovery six different govern
ments have at different times claimed
its allegiance and as many different
flags have waved over it, those of
France, Spain, Mexico, Independent
Texas, the United States and the Con-
federate States. The foundation of
Texas statehood was not laid as a
British colony, nor under the grant or
control Of the British crown, as were
those of the original thirteen states.
It's first settlement dates back more
than two hundred years ago, and its
first American colonists went there
under terms and conditions imposed
by foreign state, to whose language,
laws and institutions they were total
strangers.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

THE CASCADE TUNNEL.
Trains Will Be Running Through the
Mountain hY 1900

The Cascade tunnel of the Great
Northern, one Of the great railroad
tunnels of the west, is rapidly nearing
completion. The tunnel will be 49,
253 feet in length, and its cost will ex-
coed S13,000000.
This tunnel has been excavated at
q point where the Cascade range is
the highest, and the distance from the
roof of the tunnel to the pinnacle of
the mountain through which it runs IS
1900 feet. The contractors have brok-
en- all records for tunneing. Work
was begun in January, 1891 and by
Oct ! next the tunnel will be turned
over to the Great Northern fully com
pleted 1t will take about thirty days
to lay the track and get trains run
ming after the tunnel is finished.
The contractors are now working
two camps, one at each end. Yelling
ton is the western end and Cascade
the eastern. On Jan. l the tuneling
had progressed 400 feet ON the Well
ington end and 1890 feet on the Cas-
cade end. This leaves 5,253 feet yet
to be completed. Seven hundred and
fifty men in all are employed, and are
driving about ten feet "a day on each
end. The men are worked in three
shifts of eight hours each, and four
teen drills are employed by each crew.
| The tunnel will be uniform in size all
the way through, "a feet high and 20
feet wide. The drilling is being fol-
lowed up by the concrete work, so that
| shortly after the tunnel is cut this
| portion of the work will be finished.
| Seventy men are employed in each
shift to do the tunneling, about $50
| are employed at the concrete work
and about fifty engineers and helpers
are engaged.
When the tunnel is turned over to
the Great Northern the cars will be
operated through it by electricity, or
some smokeless device that may yet
be adapted to the work. President Hill
has found nothing that promises to
appears to offer more desirable service
than an electric motor. The old
switchback road which climbs and
crosses the Cascade mountains near
the new tunnel, will give place to the
new and short route via the tunnel by
the end of 1900

Drunk With Cold

The usual results of exposure to ex-
IRENE cold, are loss of energy, both
physical and mental, followed by
drowsiness and dislnclination to
move; the mental faculties become
torpid and the senses numbed, while
the victim is seized with an irresist-
ible desire to lie down and sleep. II
this desire is yielded TO the lethargy
passes into stupor and death follows
Occasionally these symptoms are pre-
coded by others which resemble those
of intoXication. and are due to n pc
culiar condition of the blood, which
at a very low temperature takes up
an insufficient quantity of oxygen,
and so has an injurious effect on the
nervous system 1T was observed dur
ing the retreat of the French at Mos
cow that those who were most severe
ly affected by the cold often reeled
about as if intoxicated; they also COM
planned of giddiuess and indistinctness

SHE Is A TYPEWRITER.
But Why Not Give the Job to Some
One Who Needs It.

Miss Elise Farrell whose father 10
worth from $20,000,000 to $25,OOO,-
900. drew her first pay as working
girl on Thursday. She grew tired of q
life of ease and determined to earn
a living. Her father is the Hon.
Franklin Farrell, head of the Farrell
Foundry and Machine company, OF
Ansonia, and an owner of several cop
per mines in the west. She is a grad
uate of OgontZ. She is also an excel
lent whip and is often seen driving
her big bay horse to light rubber
tired runabout in the city streets and
on country roads.
Recently the place of private secre-
tary to Mr. Farrell became vacant and
she applied for it. She was told that
it needed a stenographer and type
writer, so she attended business col
lege in New Haven, mastered short
hand quickly, and got the job. She at
tends to her business closely, being
at her desk at o'clock every morning
opening the mail and asserting it, re-
ceiving the answers to the letters
from dictation, copying them on her
typewriter. and sending them out
She declines all invitations Of a social
nature which Interfere with her work
and is an excellent secretary.
Miss Elise's determination to be use
full is more remarkable because her
father is noted for his generosity to
his children. His daughter, Miss Flor
ence Adele, was married to George
Clarke Bryant. son of Edison T. Bry-
ant. internal revenue collector, of An
sonia, in December, 1898. As wedding
presents Mr.. Farrell gave a check for
S250,000 to his daughter, a check for
S150,000 to the bridegroom, and $780,
600 in cash, $50 that they might have
some money for the honeymoon" he
