Man Eats Dead Cells.

Prof. 3. Tyler of indianapolis says
that human life would average three

people would reject the ~senseless prac-
tice of cooking their food. Animals
and fowl live much longer in proper

than man. Says Prof. Tyler: Man
for some unknown reason, eats dead
cells Cooked cells) to replace the dead
cells that have been separated from

nature requires for the amount OF food

The inland country towns of AUS
tralia bear a strick family resemblance
to one another. There is a single main
street with a few small ones leading
out Of 1t, and the houses are all of one
story and rooted with iron. The three
or four public buildings, however, are
generally Of a substantial and some
times an ambitious design, and the in
habitants are very proud Of them. The
diplomatic visitor will take care to
praise them. A park and a newspaper
complete the public institutions. Each
township forms the center Of a scat
tered community that collects there at
frequent intervals for a horse race, a
cricket match or similar gathering. A
ride OF thirty or forty miles Is thought
nothing Of in a country where you may
see a beggar on horseback. AS you
proceed inland the population is
sDarser and the towns are fewer until
you reach the tout back" which Is
the limit OF civilization.

In the "banqueting hall Of the dity
chambers at Glasgow a celebrated
painter has just completed a panel in
Mural decorating" giving the sup
posed origin of the legend. The paint
ing represents the banks of the Clyde,
with fishermen and their nets, Saint
Mungo taking a ring from a salmon's
mouth, with the queen and her ladies'
looking on. The origin of the legend
is as follows: Langvorth, queen of
S~trathclyde, lost a ring given to her by
her husband, King Mederech, and he
threatened to take her life for her
carelessness. The queen asked Saint
MungO for help, and he ordered a fish
erman to cast his net into the Clyde.
The fisherman did as he was ordered,
and brought up a salmon with a ring
in his mouth. Then the king and the
queen lived happily ever after.

A Massachusetts, physician recently
gave an amusing illustration of the
dread some people have Of fresh air
in their sleeping-rooms. In the west
ern part Of the state a few years ago
lived a family who were accustomed
to keep doors and windows all tightly
closed. The head Of the house was a
carpenter, and one fall undertook to
remodel a part Of his dwelling. The
task was not completed when winter
set in. and the family, to their horror,
had TO endure al amount of fresh air
that filled them with alarm. The wife,
speaking about it, afterward, said she
didn't know how they could have
stood it il it hadn't happened that they
were all in better health than usual

The pauperization Of the famine suf-
ferers as a result Of the charity of
the India government, which is al
ways dreaded by the officials after such
a visitation as the country has just
experienced, has, to a large extent,
been accomplished. An indication of
this is found in the number OF men and
ONE who are getting relief and who
are perfectly able to work the land.
A Simla correspondent says hat the
total number of persons now receiv-
ing relief is about 5000, 600 as against
6.500,000 two months ago. But this
great decrease is far less than was ex-
pected after the favorable rains.
