The MoaeI,s H.rd Tr;al

Miss Siddal had a trying experience
In order that the artist might get the
proper set of the garments in water
and the right atmosphere and aqueous
effects, she had to lie in large bath
filed with water. which was kept at
an even temperature by lamps placed
beneath. One day, just as the picture
was nearly finished, the lamps went
out unnoticed by the artist, who was
so intensely absorbed in his work that
he thought of nothing else, and the
poor lady was kept floating in the cold
water till she was nearly benumbed
She herself never complained of this,
but the result was that she contracted
a severe cold, and her father. an auc
tioneer at Oxford, wrote to Millais,
threatening him with an action of ESQ
damages for his carelessness. Millais
paid the doctors bill. and Miss Sid
DIAL quickly recovering, was none the
worse for her cold bath.-Life of Sir
John Millais

In "Our Navy In the War With
Spain" John r. Spencer, who was in a
part of the Cuban campaign as CORE
spondent of the New York Sun, tells a
story of Captain r. ID. Evans and Sec
rotary Long. The former was in the
navy department one day after the de
struction OF the Maine and in the
course of a conversation said:
IF had been in Admiral Sicard's
place, | should have taken my entire
squadron into Havana harbor the next
morning, and then l would have said
to them, Now wen investigate this
matter and let you know what we
think about it at once"
IF you had done that. you would
have been recalled and severely repri
manded." said Secretary Long.
The captains eyes twinkled as he re-
piled, Il don't doubt that, sir, but the
people would have made me president
at the next election"
Whether true or not. the story illus
trates the feelings of the majority Of
the officers after the Maine blowing up.

Food Elements In Fruit.

Sugar. starch, gum, deXtrin, pectine.
saccharifiable cellulose, organic acids
and other extractive matters are, to-
gether with water, the chief elements
in pulp fruits. The sugar is assimila-
BILE and is food Fruits which con
tain most of it, as bananas, dates and
figs, are true hydrocarbonated foods.
Extractive matters are also nourishing,
but in less degree. as they are not so
digestible. With these and other rare
exceptions, however, fruits, in the opin-
ion of Nj. Balland. are little nutritive
and cannot be considered as foods.
Their juices, which please us by their
smell or acidity, are condiments rather
than foods.

BOOKS NARROW ESCAPES.
Virgins "Eneid." Works of Aristotle
and Talmud Saved by Good Luck.

Virgil's "41neid." Works of Aristotle
and TaInud Saved by Good Luck.
Three of the greatest books in the
world have narrowly escaped destruc-
ton, the ''4Eneid' of Virgil the works
of Aristotle and the great body of Jew
ish tradition represented by the Tai
mud
1t is recorded that Virgil on his
deathbed sought to burn the only copy
of the "441neid" as he had not revised
it, and when he was foiled in this he
ordered his executors, Yarro and Tue
ca, not to give it to the world, a direc-
ton which was disregarded by order
Of the Emperor Augustus.
The works of Aristotle suffered from
neglect They lay many years buried
in a cellar, and when, by mere acct
dent, they were at last unearthed they
were so damaged by damp and dirt
that in many passages they are hope
lessly corrupt. How great would have
been the loss of this work to the hui
man race may be judged from the fact
that everything that was known in the
was derived directly from these writ
ings
The Talmud nearly became extinct
through persecution. The posses
sion of the Talmud, by long series
of edicts extending over many cen
turtles, was made penal, and the book
itself was burned No fewer than "a
wagon loads of Talmud manuscript
were burned in France in 1244-Stray

LIMITS OF SEED VITALITY.
No Truth In stories of Termination
After Thousands of Years.

No Truth In Stories of GerminatiO
After Thousands of Years.
"The statement is frequently made
in the popular press" said Professor
L. HI. Pammel, government botanist,
that seeds have retained their vitality
for long time. Thus it is stated that
wheat under some conditions has pre-
served it's vitality for so or 100 years.
1t has frequently been stated that
wheat taken from Egyptian monu-
ments terminated, but in not single
case is this termination authenticated
Not single grain taken from an an
cient Egyptian sarcophagus and sown
by various persons has ever been
known to terminate, and the condi-
lions for preserving the seed in these
Egyptian monuments are better than
in the soil. They are protected from the
air and variations of temperature. The
experiment which has been most talk
ed of is that of the Count of Sternberg
at Prague. He had received the grains
from a trustworthy traveller who told
him that they were taken from a
sarcophagus. 1t is said that two of
these seeds terminated, but it is well
known fact that impostures are per-
petrated by the people who dispose of
these seeds. In some cases they have
even stripped corn or maize into these
sarcophagi.
MANY experiments have been made,
not only in this country, but in Europe,
to determine the vitality of various
grain seeds. Thus, barley retains it's
vitality better than any other cereal,
and this is said to retain its vitality
from eight to ten years. In the case
of wheat 80 to 100 per cent terminates
in from one to four years; in five to
seven years. 50 to 81 per cent. In the
case of rye the percentage of germina-
ton in five years dropped to 55 per
cent; in seven years, 36 per cent; nine
years, 10 per cent In the case of corn.
l made some experiments few years
ago to determine the vitality and found
that corn which was kept in tightly
closed vessels at the age of 20 years
had lost all its power of termination.
Experiments also indicate that corn
kept even few years became largely
deteriorated and lost much of it's DOW
er of termination. Even grass seeds
which have been buried at some depth
in the soil and in vessels tightly sealed
failed to terminate after a dozen or
Is years. Chicago Chronicle.
