GOOD WORDS FOR NEW BREAD.
Fresh Losves Not So Injurious 10 the
Digestion ms la Generally
Supposed.

A writer in the London Lancet dis
putes the commonly received opinion
regarding the righteousness of new
bread. He says stale bread, when
broken between the teeth, resolves
itself into gritty particles. which, il
they were not softened with saliva.
would be next to impossible to swal-
low, consequently man thoroughly
masticates stale bread and in doing SO
impregnates 1t with saliva, which par
tally digests and adapts it to the alb
sorptive action further on in the ali
mentary tract.
But new bread, being soft and plas-
tic, is more apt to be swallowed with
out mastication, or, in other words,
bolted. 1t is in this act, he thinks, that
the injury exists and not in the charac-
ter of the bread. Hot rolls would be
Just as digestible as stale ones il they
were properly masticated. He refers
in this connection to the dog is teach
er of an important physiological les
son. This animal bolts meat, but eats
bread, because the mouth parts are
able to do little toward the digestion
OF meat beyond reducing it to a con-
yenient form for swallowing. He, how
ever, seems TO overlook the fact that
the dogs teeth are lily constructed for
Chewing, and that this is most likely
the reason for his expeditions disposal
of meat.
Another curious fact which he calls
attention to is that stale bread is not
more dry than new. This is shown
by submitting stale bread for short
time to high temperature. Under
such conditions it becomes soft and
plastic, regaining its newness, and this
despite the fact that some moisture
must be driven off in the operation.
He thinks this is explainable on the
superstition that in new bread there is
free water present, but that in stale
bread, while it is still there, 1t is In a
state of true chemical combination.
In general, he concludes, it is a sound
physiological plan to thoroughly masti-
cate every morsel of food before swal-
lowing it, ..-..-------.---

There died few days ago an in
mate of a Saratoga county institu-
ton, a resident of Waterford, who
was possessed of remarkable MEM
DRY. He did not attend school while
in his youth, but was possessed of in
telligence which was deep and far
reaching. One of his peculiarities was
the exactness with which he could
tell the time of day. He never carried
watch, could not tell the figures on
the dial of the town clock, yet if one
asked: ED, what time is it?" the re-
ply would be as correct as the time
denoted on the most costly and cor
rect chronometer. He was also exact
in his geographical computations,
and could bound every state in the
union and every county in New York
state and give the population there
of. He was strict grammarian, yet
he could not read, and as an arith-
metician and lightning calculator he
was not to be equaled in his native
birthplace. He had an aversion to
cruelty of any kind, and had pre-
vented many Waterford boys from
injury.-Troy Press.

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

David B. Hill addressed the men,
bers of the Jefferson Club and
their guests at the Teck Theatre
last night. His theme was "Tho-
mas Jefferson"
In introducing Senator Hill to
the audience, Chairman Maurice
G. Spratt, president of the club,
referred to him as the greatest
living exponent of the principle OF
Jeffersonian Democracy.
Referring to the extension OF
American institutions, Senator
Hill spoke of the negotiation OF
the treaty with France for the pur-
chase of Louisiana. That, he said,
was democratic expansion. desira-
bic from every point, because its
territory was intended for states
and not for permanent colonies.
That expansion natural, legiti-
mate, inevitable accomplished
honorably, without wrong or in
justice to any country or people.
can no more be compared to the
recent and pending experiment
With the Philippine islands than
light can be compared with dark
ness.
Jefferson, be said would have
|unquest;onably viewed with alb
horrence the establishment OF q
permanent American colonial sys-
! tenn, whether obtained under mill
tary rule or under civil authority
appointed by the central govern
ment at Washington. His theory
vas unquestionably the Democra-
tic doctrine of to-dsy-that this
government has no more authori-
ty to create a colonial system than
it has the RICH. to create king.
Referring to monopolies, he said:
"When billion dollars corporate
combinations are forming on every
side, dazzling rs with the boldness
of their conception and the bound
less extent of their proposed oper-
atoms. it is high time to consider
whether some Wholesale restric-
tons upon such corporate under
tskings are not essential to the in
terest of the people.
"Jefferson's teachings might
suggest a Limitation upon the
amount Of the dividends which
could be lawfully declared, of mp
| on the profits which could be le-
gally accumulated by these ire
mendous business organizations.
Or he might demand that the gov
eminent, in justice 70 its over-bur-
dened taxpayers, shosld. withdraw
fits tariff favors from the "infant
industries" represented by these
institutions whose projectors are
alreatiy rolling in wealth and are
astonishing the world by the mu-
ni6cence of their private benefac-
tons We may at least be quite
sure that he would not appoint to
the high Office of attorney general
of the United States the men re-
commended by the friends and
promoters of these very schemes,
whose official province it would be
to prosecute all violstors Of those
federal statutes passed to prevent
the contamination of Just such
public wrongs"
In conclusion Mr.. Hill said:

When the plague was prevalent in In
dia. search parties went through the vii
lagos inspecting the houses with the idea
of seeing that all cases of death by the
plague were reported to the authorities
On entering u suspected house one day
the inspectors saw group of natives
playing cards Something in the appear
ance of one of the players attracted the
attention of one of the inspectors. who
placed his hand upon the mans shoulder
To his amazement the man swayed and
fell to the floor
Upon examination it was found that he
had been dead some time. but in order to
avoid having the house marked as plague
stricken the other inmates had concealed
the fact Of his death. Hearing that the
inspecting party was approaching, they
had hastily placed the body in chair
aud put some cards in the dead hands
Then they had gathered about him as il
both the quick and the dead were engaged
in game of cards.

through greater crowds than before,
which, silent before, then cheered with
vociferous enthusiasm.
An extraordinary issue of The Gazette
this morning. which appears with black
borders, announces the death of Queen
Victoria, adding:
"The event has caused one universal
feeling of regret and sorrow to her late
majesty's faithful subjects, to whom she
was endeared by the deep interest in their
welfare which she invariably manifested
as well as by many signal virtues which
marked and adorned her character"
Then follows the proclamation of Ed
ward VII, the acknowledgment of allie
glance by the privy council and the kings
speech at his accession.
After giving list of those who attend
ed the council The Gazette announces
that the king subscribed the oath relating
to the security of the Church of Scotland.
1t closes with the kings formal proca-
nation ordering all officers and persons in
authority to continue to exercise their
offices.
Orders have been issued for $500
troops to line the streets of London today
for the proclamation ceremony.
The Gazette orders the court to go into
mourning until July "a and into half
mourning until Jan. "a, 1902. Lord Rob
erts has ordered the army to adopt
mourning until March 5.
Memorial services will be held in st.
Pauls cathedral morning and evening
daily until the interment AT the first of
these, held after the regular evening serv-
ice yesterday, about 5000 persons were
present. Bishop Barry read the burial
service, and the dead March in Saul
and other funeral music was played.
King Edward will return to Osborne
Immediately after the proclamation cere-
mony today.
Regarding the causes of death The
Lancet says: Death was due to cerebral
failure. Transient but recurring symp-
toms of apathy and torpor, with aphasic
indications, gave great uneasiness to the
physicians few days before the final i'll
ness. From Saturday these symptoms
grew steadily worse, but the hearts ac.
ton was maintained throughout, and the
temperature was normal
