FEW DoN'Ts ABOUT EATING.

Don't eat fast. Time is money.
Every minute saved at your meals is a
dollar in the pocket Of your physician
later on in life.
Don't swallow food before it is prop
erly chewed. Mans chewing was
meant to be done in his mouth. II
We had gizzard instead of stomach
we might swallow pebbles with our
meals and have the stomach do the
work of crushing the food, as the
chicken does.
Don't eat fat soaked food. Toast
may be spread with butter and then
heated in the oven until it is as fat
soaked as cabbage boiled with bacon
The toast is thus made quite as indi'
gestible as the cabbage.
Don't eat dark meat too exclusively
Some people confine themselves to
rare beef and the dark parts OF fowl,
The dark meat contains a larger
amount than other kinds of the irri.
tating stimulant extractive substances
OF the meat. These are especially un.
suitable for nervous individuals and
those OF equity tendency.
Don't let children take stimulants
at their meals. This includes not
only alcoholic stimulan,s, but coffee,
tea. condiments, etc. Until children
are twelve years old at least they are
much better on milk and water and
not too rich cocoa, with thin broths
and gruels.
Don't drink too much liquid during
meals-never more than half a pint,
usually less. The dilution Of the gas
trio juice impairs its efficacy and the
stomach is not able to accomplish i,s
digestive churning movements when
filled with large amount of fluid.
Don't drink too much just after eat
ing. Some people faithfully deny
themselves liquid during a meal, and
take quantity Of it just after. Don't
drink too little during and just after a
meal. About half pint Of water or
some other simple liquid should he
taken, most Of it near the end Of the
meal.
Don't drink spirituous liquors to
excess at meals. Alcohol prevents the
gastric ferments from acting and 90
delays digestion. Don't drink . large
cnp OF stfong coffee after. hearty
meal. Conse also parsiysss the
stomach ierments. On The other
hand. in people not inclined to ner-
vousness, = small amount OF coffee or
alcohol stimulates the action and Sc
erection of digestive ferments.
Don't drink too little water between
meals. This is . very common fault
among city folk. At least four to
Eve pints Of liquid. tea, coffee. water
and milk, should be taken during the
day. Most Of this should be taken
several hours before and after meals,
some ON rising and going 70 bed.
Don't take other peoples advice ~
TO what you may or may not eat
6tomachs are at least - individual II
their owders. No one, not even your
doctor, can dictate an iron-clad list "a
you. He can help you 10 find out
what your diet should b.
Don't fast 10 cure indigestion. Al
the body gets weaker its functions also
weaken, and digestion will not i'm
nYOye.

MARS rs INHABITED.
PEOPLE DWELL ON OUR PLANE
TARY NEIGH6OR.

This Claim is Very Confidently and soberly
Advanced by . Skilled German Scientist
improbable That Communication will Ever
Be Established Between That Beautiful Orb
and Our Own.
els Mars inhabitedT has been
asked very often during recent years,
and has engaged the serious attention
OF many astronomers, and especially
of M. Camille Flam marion, a noted
French scientist and author.
Some new light is now thrown on
this subject by Prof. Ernest H@ckel,
an eminent German philosopher, in a
book entitled "World Problems" !"
After pointing out that men have
studied the heavens for more than
4.5OO years and have only been study
ing themselves for the last half GEN.
tury. he says we may safely assume
that the many fixed stars whose light
requires thousands of years to reach
us, are suns, and are surrounded by
planets and worlds similar to those We
know. We may also assume, he
holds. that thousands Of these planets
have arrived at the same stage of de-
velopment as our world, and it natur-
ally follows that on them the same
conditions Of life prevail as on this
earth, and there -no-~siid rcxs0n
why human beings should not live
there ae they do here.
Prof. Heckel takes care to explain
that there are doubtless many planets
the temperature of which is such that
life, as We understand the term, can.
not be sustained on them. He thinks
it very probable that there are types
OF animals and plants on some planets
which are not to be found on this
earth. According to him, it is very
likely that the biogenic process exists
on Mare, Venus and possibly some
other planets Of our system. as well as
on planets OF other solar systems, but
plants on these planets have reached
a higher stage of development than
has been reached by animals and
plants OF this earth.
II We assume that Mars is inhabited
and Prof. H@ckel seems pretty we'll
satisfied that It 1--we must assume,
ha hnlds- that the men and women
whose homo is on the planet are mol
such a. we, but Of far.higher type
They may resemble US exteriorly. but
they are free from our physical de.
fects and excel u in strength and
gracefulness. II is in the intellectual
sphere, however, and their superiority
is most clearly shown. If there are
human beings on these planets. says
Prof. H@ckel, it is extremely prob.
able that they far surpass ordinary
men and women in intelligence.
Another question often asked is
{" Will we ever be able to communicate
with the inhabitants Of distant plan.
etsf" Prof. H@ckel's reply is that
there is very little probability OF any
direct communication ever being
established. His reasons are because
the earth is such great distance from
Mars and other planets, and because
the condition of the air between the
earth and these planets is such as "a
render direct communication by any
means at present known to us impos.
sible.

Our Railroad Kings.

A railroad president and a United
States senator were talking about gov
eminent ownership of railroads.
Il believe" said the senator, that
it would be good idea for this govern.
ment to buy and operate all the rail-
roads in the United States"
WELL" replied the railroad presi-
dent, smiling significantly, ''if the gov
eminent has the money to pay for
100000 miles of railroad, with an ag-
gregate capitalization of nearly $5,-
600 100000 1000, can point out the shop
where most of the goods can be
bought"
1.-The shop?" echoed the senator, in.
quiringly.
THAT is what it amounts to- Sena-
tor. There are seven or eight men
that control all the railroads of the
United States, and most of them can
be found in New York city on any
business day."
"Who are they?" the senator asked,
eagerly.
Propounded in Wall street or in any
assemblage of well-informed railroad
men this question will invariably elicit
mention of these names: j. Pierpont

An Epoch Making Cycle.

Old Mother Shipton, long ago,
The future scanned with sibyl's ink
ling,
And saw men moving two and fro'
With all the fieetness of the roe,
And making milestones in a twink
ling.
And they who then, in ribald jest
Declared that bats were in her at
tic"
(Some even thought the dame possest)
If living now would call her blest
Whom they'd reviled as fanatic.
For 10, her dream stands verified,
AS if bespoken by st. Michael.
And ancient Helios did not ride
His chariot with livelier pride
Than mortals do the modern cycle.
When Rudyard Tennyson, one day,
while haunting" in four-wheeled
torture)
Said On the Road to Mandelay
Was worth a cycle in Cathay,"
He had not seen the high-grade
Scorcher.
There was time when men com
planned
That birds and antelopes and horses
Were lowered with speed (un-
trained)
That man himself had not attained,
With all his Wanted nerve-re-
sources.
But in due time necessity
The fecund mother of Invention
Developed mans capacity
And hence. the wheel-an asset he
Will never be ashamed to mention.
Just one thing more the wheel de-
'mands
To bring its uses to perfection:
Improve the highways of all lands,
And wheelmen will extend their hands
With greetings warm from every
section.
The wheel, the wheel, It's all the rage:
1t ringeth out the horse, the pony,
The spider, phaeton, cart and stage,
And ringeth in the golden age
For those who value time as money.
The toiler rides the wheel to work;
The Chappie spins tin fair
weather.
The merchant and his pretty clerk
Exchange the old familiar smerk-
And wheel the longest route to-
gether.
Behold a paradox: You rest
While hast'ning on with expedition;
You sit while running; laugh and jest
While doing time your level best,
And kick" with cheerful DISPOSE
ton.
In sooth, good friends, have not told
The half, in this impromptu letter
The cycles points are manifold
A good ones worth it's weight in gold
(Albeit the lighter-built the better.
The wheel is mans best gift to man
And when all motors pass, the bike'll
Be found conspicuous in the van
OF things wrought on the Cosmic
plan
The swiftest since the race began,
When Tu5dn Cain his forges ran,
Outclass, good masters, if you can,
This all-round, epoch-making cycle!

Take the Children to Farm for the
Vacation Time.
What possible excuse the average
mother can concoct to Justify her in

,, summer hotel have never been able
to discover" writes Edward Box, in
Ladies' Home Journal ut cannot be
the food. because in the few summer
hotels where it is not positively bad
and UNBEATABLE. it is cooked in such
large quantities and in such a slap
dash manner than all the nutritive
qualities are cooked out of It. It
cannot be the freedom from conven-
tionalities, because conventionality
reigns as supreme at the summer
hotel as it does in the city drawing
room. There is all the slavery Of
dress and none of it's freedom.
There is bigness, a freedom. An
honesty, a sincerity in the life of the
farm and it's folks which thousands
of us know nothing about. The
sanest, the highest lives are led by
these people. and yet in our narrow
horizon we think their lives are con-
tracted The fact is, that we are
narrow: not they. It is their lives
that are real: not ours.
'It is the essence of the lives that
are lived in the country that we need
so much in our lives: the essence of
simplicity, of sincerity, of freedom
from things which are external and
not worth while. We cannot. of
course, live in the city and live as do
country folk. What we can do. how
ever, is to go to the country in the
summer time and live with them and
extract some of the wholesome
lessons of simple living which their
lives can teach us. The love Of
nature is implanted in all Of us to
more or less degree: the crime TO our
selves is that we give it so little
chance of development or expression.
And the crime is double when we
withhold the expressions of natures
workings in our children"

HOW TO DETECT SPURIOUS SILK.
Hints That May Save Shoppers From
Being Imposed Upon.

Pure silk, when it has teen
through all the processes necessary
to bring out all its good qualities, is
worth its weight in silver, said an ex'
pert the other day Therefore, the
women who expect TO buy silk at little
more than the price of cotton mnst
expect to be fooled, and there are lots
of ways by which the manufacturer
gets even with them.
They make stuff that is called silk.
and passes for it with credulous per-
sons who don't know any better, out
of nearly any old thing now One
favorite imitation silk is made of
cellulose treated with chemicals. 1t
isn't good material to get on fire
in. Then there are South sea island
cottons and some mercerized cottons
which, after treatment, look some
thing like silk, though of course, they
wear very differently and their silken
appearance soon vanishes.
But 1t is in adulterating goods which
really have some silk in them that
the greatest skill is exercised to de-
ceive he buyer. To obtain the re-
quired rustic and body rough floss IS
often used for the wool of the
material. This soon causes them to
wear shiny
Another trick is to increase the
weight and apparent solidity of a
flimsy silk material by using metallic
salts in the dye vast. Pressing, with
some kinds of silk, increases the
weight also. but at the sacrifice Of
strength. Cheap, crackly, stiff silk
which has heavy cords is good silk TO
avoid. 1t won't wear.
There are several tests which reveal
readily the purity of piece of silk,
The microscope, of course, win show
it at once, even to an Impractical eye.
Pure silk has the appearance of fine,
smooth tubes. Another good test Is
by burning. Pure silk burns slowly
with a slight odor; cotton flares up
quickly and would throw off de-
cidedly disagreeable smell.
Then the tongue will readily reveal
the presence of metallic salts. There
is no mistaking their taste. But all
these may be disregarded, said the
expert, when silk is offered for the
price of cotton. You need not bother
to test that stuff

BUCHANAN NEVER MARRIED.
The Image Of His Dead Fiancee Never
Faded from His Heart,

"Mr. Buchanan, who was the hrsr
bachelor elected to the presidency,
was 65 years of age when elected, and
had deliberately given himself to a
life of celibacy," writes William Pe--
rine, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
In the days when he was a young
lawyer of Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
he had loved Miss Coleman, beauti-
full daughter of a citizen of that iowa.
They had been engaged to be married
when one day he was surprised to
receive from her request to release
her from the promise. According
to George Ticknor Curtis. the separa-
ton originated in a misunderstanding
on the part of the lady, who was I'M
usually sensitive, over some small
matter exaggerated by giddy and in
discreet tongues. Soon after the
estrangement she was sent to Phila-
delphia, and there died suddenly.
Throughout the rest of his life, or for
nearly half century, Mr.. Buchanan
is not known to have revealed to any
body the circumstances Of this ro-
mantle tragedy. He would only say
that II had changed his hopes ami
plans, and had led him more deeply
than ever into politics as a distrac-
ton from his grief. In his old age,
long after he had retired permanently
to private life, he called attention TO
package containing, he said, the
papers and relics which would ex-
plain the causes of his youthful
sorrow, and which he preserved evil
IDENTIFY with the idea of revealing them
before his death. But when he diei,
and his will was read, it was found
that he had directed that the package
should be burned without being
opened, and his injunction was
obeyed."
