Does Cooking Spoil Food?

Professor B. Tyler of Indianapolis says that human life would average three or four times longer than it does if people would reject the senseless practice of cooking their food Ami mals and fowl live much longer in proportion to the period of full devel- opment than man. Says Professor Ty- Ter: Man, for some unknown reason, eats dead cells Cooked cells) to re- place the dead cells that have been separated from the body. In cooking food all acids and gases so necessary for the conservation and preservation of ideal health escapes with the steam, and other such substances than nature requires for the amount of food taken into the system.

TopaZ Is Much Favored.

"Not the least beautiful of the many semi-precious stones for which there Is always large demand is the topaz" said a wholesale dealer in gems to the Washington Star. "The name topaz generally suggests only yellow stone, yet there are light blue, brown and green varieties which are frequently sold as aquamarines. The genuine aquamarine may, however, be easily distinguished from a topaz, as the for mer stone more closely resembles the color of green sea salt. Besides the topaz admits of higher polish and Is extremely slippery to the touch. strange to say, the yellow topaz when slightly heated, becomes pink; heated further, the pink grows paler, and by long heating it is entirely expelled, leaving the green colorless. The sherry colored or brown topaz is bleached in a very short time by the rays of the sun or strong daylight, and all the white topazes found in nature have been colorized in this way. The topaz is found in granite rocks in Si- beria, Japan, Peru, Ceylon, Brazil and Maine and in volcanic rocks in Colo rado, Utah and New Mexico"

Broad-shouIdered Man.

The broad-shouldered man is coming in again and this means that those to whom nature has not been generous must rely on the skill of their tailors for such extra breadth as they may need The Raglan coat was the fore runner of this fashion because of it's peculiar cut over the shoulders which gave even a thin man breadth. There was time when no coat was accepted as right without lot of padding on the shoulders and when this fashion went out narroW-shouldered men re- gretted it. Such fashions move in cy- cles, and it is about time for padded shoulders to come in again. An effort was made several years ago by tilors who run to extremes to bring back the very baggy old peg-top trousers. Sey- efal Frenchmen who have visited New York during the past two years have shown the possibilities of peg tops, but the extreme in this style has not found favor here. The padded shoulders and the peg-top trousers went together years ago. It is safe to assume that if padded shoulders again come in they will not be worn in the extreme style of years ago.-NeW York Sun.
 Man in the Moon Was There.
 A function recently given in New port by Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs was de- signed exclusively for women, but in order to compensate in a measure for the absence of the other sex the man in the moon was there in all his glory. A large artificial moon was provided. This moon, which was about three feet across, was put on a pole sixty feet high, with a black curtain at it's back and sides, and placed at the rear of the large lawn, and was first seen as the guests entered the veranda where the dinner tables were placed The face of the man in the moon painted on the luminous disk was twisted bit and he appeared to be tipping cheerful wink at the dining party. This fea- ture was Mrs. Oerichs own idea, and was most realistic, as none of the makeup" could be diseernad at the distance it was placed.

THE NOBBLER.

The term mobile means ito destroy
a horses chances of winning by MAIN
ing or poisoning" The nobbler as a
rule stands to win largely over the sue
cess of a horse, other than the favorite,
against which his malicious efforts are
generally directed. The horse nobbler
seldom risks his own hide; his favorite
plan is to approach an impecunious
stable boy with offers of large reward,
provided he administers a drug which
shall nullify his charges chances of
success. Sometimes the lad listens to
the voice of the tempter, and before
long the sporting columns of the daily
papers are filled with the news. that the
favorite for a great race has unac-
countably gone wrong Then the agent
of the crime goes to claim his reward,
only to find that his astute employer
not only refuses to have anything to
do with him, but threatens him with
exposure should he continue in his i'm
portunity.
Sometimes the boy. shrewder than he
who would win a fortune by his
"shrewdness, pretends to assent to an
Illicit proposition. and securing evil
dence of the plot against his masters
interests, exposes the whole scheme
with the result that the wrong-doers
are punished for conspiracy and the
turf is temporarily rid of blacklegs.

describes the natives as following all
the phases of the conflict with the very
keenest interest, especially the military
operations.
Then as to the British and loyal
Dutch elements in the South African
colonies, they are becoming daily more
impatient with the delay and methods
employed in bringing things back to
normal condition. Business and prog
ress are retarded, for such movement
as there is is due merely to the war ex
penditure of the British Government.
The colonists believe that, left to
themselves, they could bring the strug
gle to an end in a brief period and with
comparatively little difficulty; but as
their aims are not entirely in accord
ance with those of the present directors
of the British policy. there is no pros
pect that they will have much to say
in the final settlement whenever it is
reached. There is even a possibility,
judging by the latest reports, that the
British Colonial Office may find itself
in sharp conflict with the loyal element
In South Africa before peace is finally
restored.
AS regards the military situation
map recently published by the London
Daily News gives a somewhat startling
view of it. The parts actually occupied
by the British in the annexed republics
lie almost entirely along the railway
lines, and few isolated spots scatter
ed wide over the country. The rest is
free to the Beers, who subsst on the

Five-sixths of the British army is en-
gagged in guarding the depots and lines
of communication. thus leaving barely
10000 effective troops to carry on active
operations. An early termination of the
war can. therefore, hardly be looked for
from the military side alone. while the
prospects from the political point of
view are not very clear.

Dog Saved the Kittens Life.

a man servant in a family in Eng
land some time ago took a kitten to a
pond with the intention of drowning IL.
His masters dog went with him, and
when the kitten was thrown into the
water the dog sprang in and brought
it back to land. A second time the
man threw it in, and again the dog
rescued it; and when for the third
time the servant tried to drown it,
the dog, as resolute to save the little
helpless life as the, man was to de-
stroy it, SWAN with it to the other
side of the pool, ran all the way home
with it, and deposited it before the
kitchen fire. From that time the dog
kept constant watch over the kitten.
The two were inseparable, even shar-
ing the same bed.

SOUTH AFRICAN STATUS.

The New York Sun says that twelve
months have now passed since the Boer
war was declared on British authority
to be practically over, but convincing
proof to the contrary Is to be found in
: the. fact that the losses of the British
army in the field from bullets, disease
and invading, average between three
and four thousand monthly. On an
average the same number Of men have
to be sent out from England to keep
the army In South Africa up to its full
strength. The carefully laid plans of
the British COMMUNICATIVE Chief to
capture the Boer commands in detail
or to force them into the Northern
Transyaal, where they could be con-
tanned while the mobile portion of the
army was engaged in concentrating
the non-combatant population and de-
nuding the country of supplies, have
each in turn failed. and the last five
months have witnessed a series of ex-
ploits on the part of the Boer leaders
which show that their courage and re-
sources are far from exhausted The
latest incidents even, like the recent
fight at Vlakfontein within cannon
sound OF johannesburg, seem to indi-
cate an Improvement In the fighting

How much longer the war may last
can, of course, be only matter of con-
lecture. It Is evident that the British
Government is keeping back much in

the Boer resources. It is stated on
British official authority that the Beers

practically without artillery ammuni-
ton, they are amply provided with
small-arm cartridges for an Indefinite
period. The question, therefore, is one
of endurance. The majority of the
burghers in the field are either Cape
Colony and Natal rebels who are fight
ing for their personal liberty since the
British Government refused them an
amnesty, or Transvaal and Orange
Free State burghers who have lost ev-
erything, and to whom no hope is
held out that they can recover even a
fraction of their conf1scated property
and liberty. A large number of them,
like General De Wet, have neither
home nor family left. v neither it was

the Beers have proved themselves to
