THE DOCTOR AND THE COOK.
Their Relations Should BE Closer.
Chemical Effects of Dishes.

UiOli TIC A0hGCIs
OF the arts which may be reckoned
ancillary to that of medicine there is
none probably which is so neglected by
practitioners of medicine as that of
cooking. Most medical men regard the
kitchen as beneath their notice and
training in it's materials and its meth
DDS might be of service to their pro-
fessional powers and usefulness. Such
an attitude of mind is as unwarranted
as we believe 1t to be injudicious. Not
only are there very many substances
which are common to the kitchen and
to the dispensary, a knowledge of
which, therefore, is justified by their
presence in one If 1t does not indicate
an acquaintance with the other, but,
moreover, rightly regarded, the kitchen
and the cook play almost as important
a part in attaining the aims of the
medical man as do the druggist and
the dispensary.
1t is obviously Of the greatest i'm
portance that If a physician orders a
medicine he should be able to tell that
IL is duly dispensed. A similar argu-
ment may certainly be applied to the
products of the kitchen. No medical
man WOuAu hEHOiC VI
diet both in health and in disease, and
the cook may well be regarded as a
chief officer in the service of preven-
tive medicine.
We do not hold the belief of an old
writer quoted in DR.. w. T. Fernie's
Kitchen Physic," who says that 1.-The
practitioner has only to direct such
food as may contain the particles that
his patient may stand in need OF. For
example, are the kidneys diseased?
Then let him prescribe stews and
broths made of oX-deer and sleeps
kidneys. Asthmas require dishes pre-
pared from the lungs of sheep, deer,
calves, hart, and lambs. Are the in
testlnes diseased? Then he should Cd
der tripe. boiled, fried or fricasseed.
When this practice has become general
we shall be able 20 remove every dis
ease incident TO the human body by
the assistance OF the cook only" Tn
fortunately. the art OF therapeutics is
no such simple affair as this. The

among them, of course, as 1t must have
been among primitive man, is but an
expression of the simplest needs. DAN
ger, hunger, warning, pleasure and
such sensations are the first emotions
expressed. To illustrate the various
calls which a turkey has, Mr.. WOOD
cites note for overhead danger, an
other for danger on the ground, third
for hawk in the distance, another OF
complaint when being driven, a differ
ent call in open meadow from that IN
bushes, a special signal at night, as
well as a special kind Of note used in
ordinary conversation. Chickens have
even more modes of expression. A hen
has three distinct songs, one when
seeking her nest, another for calling
her mate and third for grooming to
herself or in the search of food. The
rooster has several distinct notes, and
Mr.. Wood claims that some of these
the ordinary person never observes.
There is one, a low, fine whistle which
the rooster uses sometimes on a dark
day when going to roost, but when the
rooster really begins to carry on an
extensive conversation is when he
meets another chanticleer in battle. 1t
ranges all the way from a defiant
chuckle which invites the other fellow
to fight as surely as the prOverbial chip
which means fear and a desire to re-
tire. Perhaps of all birds, the parrot
Is most intelligent. We have been ac-
customed to think of the parrot as
simply a mimic, but Mr.. Wood claims
to have known many actually under
stood the words they were saying. One
of his parrot friends always saluted
him with Good morning" early in the
day, and Good night" in the evening.
So many impossible stories are told
of parrots intelligence that it is diff
cult to consider these birds as serious
ly intelligent, yet there is no doubt as
to this point. The ability of crows to
smell gunpowder a long distance off
has always been claimed for them and
those who have studied the birds to
any extent easily recognize varying
caws, showing fear, warning or affec-
ton as the case may be. That our
feathered friends are able to express
pleasure every one knows. The cheer
full Tilt Of the songsters is only one way
In which they show their joy of living
in such a good world as ours.
We have much to learn from the
birds and beasts, and when we are
able to understand their language we
shall doubtless hear of many things
now unknown to us.

A Flyer of 40 Years AGO.

1t is not generally known, however,
that as long as 40 years ago an Ameri-
can constructed an airship, practically
the same in type and principle as that
of Santos-Dumont. 1t was a cigar
shaped balloon driven by air propeI-
lers moved by a small steam engine,
and the inventor exhibited it frequently
in and around New York, Since that
time many other inventors have worked
on the problem. but it is to be feared
that none of them, not even the clever
young Brazilian, has yet overcome
many of the difficulties. So far it has
been found that the expense of a trip
in the air is too expensive for ordinary
use, $500 being the cost of a single
trip in the Dumont machine. More
than this, however, the use of such an
atrshiD as has thus far been con-
structed is only possible in very light
winds, and the dangers attending the
experiments will probably keep many
from attempting the feat.

Signaling to Mars.

If you should get tired talking to
your neighbors on the earth and want
to get in communication with the in
hab!tants of another planet, be mod
est and begin with the people on Mars.
Mars is several million miles nearer
than any other planet and the scien-
lists tell us that it's inhabitants are
intelligent beings who have eyes and
ears. 1t would be little difficult to
create loud enough noise for a Mar
tian to hear, and beside sound travels
so slowly that it would take from six
to ten years in getting to this planet
neighbor, depending on where he was
at the time. Now, a more practical way
would be to put up some sort of
signal that a Marian could see If he
happened to be pointing a telescope our
way. A flag the size of Ireland placed
on pole several miles high would be
visible to the inhabitants of Mars. A
mere speck it would seem to them. to
be sure, but If it was certain that they
were looking at us and endeavoring
to find out more about us as we are
about them. perhaps some of them
would put up a flag that our astrono-
mers could see. and later on we might
establish code of signaling.

been published in newspapers as by
George w. Gable.
1t was John Tyler, Jr., son of Pres
ident John Tyler, who once said Of
this poem. and his estimate of its
merits has remained unchallenged-
that the exceeding beauty of these
lines in conception and perfect execu-
ton. in their musical flow and grace
scarcely ever equalled and never sur
passed, riveted them upon my memory,
and since then in conversations l have
often and over again instanced them
as being among the rarest gems of
versfication and true poetry in the
English language" My own view is
that this lyric belongs to a class of
poetry that has many admirers and
will live, like Pinckneys IT Fill This
Cup" and similar beautiful tributes
to women, as long as the English lam
guage shall be spoken. Gen. Lamar
was not only heroic soldier, but he
was a most devoted and gallant ad-
mirer of lovely and talented women,
and many of his best poems are trib-
uteS to them, yet none equal The
Daughter of Mendoza" So many i'm
perfect copies have been published in
newspapers and magazines that l am
led to give perfectly reliable and cor
rect copy of the poem in this connec-
ton:
o lend to me. sweet nightingale.
Your music by the fountains;
And lend to me your cadences.
o, river of the mountains;
That l may stag my gay brunette
A diamond spark in coral set,
Gem for a Princes coronet-
The Daughter of Mendoza,
II.
How brilliant is the morning star,
The evening star how tender;
The light of both is in her eyes
Their softness and their splendor.
But for the lash that shades their
sight,
They were too dazzling for the light;
And when she shuts them all is night
The Daughter of Mendoza.
III.
o, ever bright and beauteous one,
Bewildering and beguiling,
The Lutte Is in thy silvery tones,
The rainbow in thy smiling;
And thine is, too, DER hill and dell,
The bounding of the young gazelle,
The arrows fight and oceans swell,
Sweet Daughter of Mendoza.
~.
What tho, perchance, we meet no
more,
What though too soon we sever:
Thy form will float like emerald light,
Before my vision ever;
For who can see and then forget
The glories of my gay brunette?
Thou art too bright star to set,
Fair Daughter of Mendoza.
If my Endorsement of Tyler's esti-
mate of this poem is thought to be
misplaced, just listen to Editor John
Triplett Of the Townsville, Ca,
Times. whose old bachelor heart the
fairest daughter of the land has failed
to capture. Yet who says of this
poem: with cadences soft and sweet
as the measured tones of far-off even
ing BELLS. with the rhythm of muir
muring waters, or the lute's low mel
ody, float the tender lines of The
Daughter of Mendoza out Ger the sea
of poesy. Had Lamar never penned
another couplet. these lines would have
immortalized him. They are worthy of
preservation" And this is why / give
them to the Morning News readers
that they may preserve them in correct
form In their scrap books. Georgia's
gallant and gifted soldier poet never
penned anything more beautiful than
this tribute to "The Daughter of Men
