wedding Supper in Cairo.

After a Mohammedan wedding the bridegroom sees the face of his un- known bride for the first time Ill her apartment. As he enters the pride sa- lutes him by kissing his hand. Her head is covered by veil, which he re- moves at the same time presenting jewels to her which are termed the price of the uneovering of the face. He then spreads the veil on the floor and kneels on it while he says pray CT. the bride in the meantime stand ing on it's edge behind him. At the close of the prayer they seat them- selves on a divan, and an old attend ant shows them in a mirror the re- f1eetion of their united faces. Supper is eaten by the happy pair alone, but not until the bride, after every de- vice known to the bridegroom is used, can be induced to speak. Once she ut ters word he claps his hands and sup per is brought to them. Meat is not used at this meal because of a belief that it would lead 10 future picker tngs between them. Eggs, sweets and fruits are served.
 Bird Friends of Boston Policeman.
 From the Boston Evening Record: On short street leading from Wash iagton street every noon there is little occurrence in which a policeman figures, and which attracts the atten- tion of many passers-by. The officer comes there to ring in duty call and then gets some peanuts from a nearby stand and begins to whistle. In mo- ment dozens of pigeons begin circling around him, and he shells the peanuts, holds out his hand. and the pigeons light on his arm and hand and eat as many peanuts as they can get. One brown one is particularly tame and greedy, and will eat a pint of them, the officer says. Many people come there every noon to watch the little show.
 wonders or the Locomotive.
 The story of the locomotive sounds simple in the recital The wonder of the thing comes into view only when one reflects on the speed and nicety with which eumbrous parts are made to do their duty. The piston and con- meeting bar of a modern locomotive weigh some GOO pounds. When the speed is sixty miles an hour these parts travel back and forth five times in a second.

White and Wholemeal Bread.
1t is commonly supposed that whole
meal bread is more nourishing than
ordinary white bread, because 1t con-
tains higher proportion of nitrogen
GUS and mineral substances. But as we
have frequently pointed out, says the
Lancet, the heterogeneous value of q
given food is not necessarily indicated
by an empirical chemical analysis. Not
all heterogeneous substances are feeding
stuffs. and, further, 1t does not follow
that tho quantity Of food partaken Of
Is the quantity Of food assimilated. In
other words, eating is not necessarily
feeding. Whether or not, however.
wholemeal bread is superior as regards
Its heterogeneous contents, 1t is certainly
inferior as regards its dtgestibility.
This may be attributed in a large
measure to the fact that wholemeal
bread contains comparatively large, in
d1gestible. and irritating particles of
musk. There seems, however, no rea-
son for doubling that wholemeai bread
would be much more digestible if the
branny particles were finely commin-
uted. We still hold that more nour-
1shing article, as it is certainly more
palatable, is the old-fashioned farm
house loaf, which presents gold
wheaton color, rather than the blanch-
ed appearance which seems to be look
ed upon as a guarantee of quality in
the modern white loaf. Our own la
boratory experience, at any rate, shows
that probably on account of the in
creased employment of roller milling
processes the important mineral con-
stituents of white bread have very ma
terially diminished. When it is con-
sidered that these constituents play a
not unimportant part in supplying the
bone-forming factors of the organism,
this fact assumes a serious import
ance and m'y even throw light upon
the prevalence of dental decay. On
the other hand. wholemeal bread and
germ bread contains an enhanced pro-
portion of mineral salts, such as the
phosphates of lime and potash, which
are necessary in the building up Of
the entire human frame.

Deadly New Proiectile.


Not content with the havoc wrought
in warfare by the ordinary explosive
shells, an American inventor of Wash
ington city has perfected new pro-
5ectile which, in the words of an ord
nance expert who has examined it,
contains more potent hell than any
thing Of the like nature ever invented %
He calls his invention 1.-The new conf
cal, rotating. ball-bearing, base shell. +"
When ready for firing, the base shell
differs but little in appearance from
the long, conical shell now in use.
Like it it ia filled with some high ex-
p.osive, and carries either a time fuse
or a percussion cap. The shell has a
base which Is separate from but at
tached to the main body Of the shell.
This base works on ball bearings and
is SO attached that while the shell re-
wolves rapidly in its fight the base,
working on frictionless steel balls, re-
mains free from any but the forward
motion of the projectile. But the dis
tinguishing feature of the base shell,
as compared with the shells in every
day use. is this: Attached. firmly to

Recent Investigation of the old prob
lem of the diffusion of tin over eastern
Europe and Asia Minor in prehistoric
times leads to the conclusion that
about a thousand years before Christ
the tin Of the British Isles was carried
overland to the Aegean sea. The in
vention of the anchor led about 1900
years ago to the opening of a marine
route between England and the east
ern end of the Mediterranean. and
then the Phrygians controlled the tin
trade with their ships. The short
summer nights of North Britain were
among the wonders that Greeks talked
Of in the days Of Homer.
