VIRTUES OF LIGHT LUNCHES
American AcuteneSs Due In Part TO
the Midday Repasts.

American AcutenesH Due In Part to
the Midday Repasts.
A great many people feel they have
done their whole duty by sound by
giene when they denounce the quick
lupch" of the American business world
as the sum of all gastronomic iniqui-
ties. But In 80 far as the quick lunch
IL a light lunch, and it usually Is this,
It may be a blessing In disguise In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much
Of the acuteness and business energy
Of Americans to the fact that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even II
hurriedly, and drinks but little at the
midday meal; hence his mind ia clear,
he Is not sluggish and he Is able to do
good deal between l o'clock and 6.
As contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday eating
habits of certain European countries,
notably Germany, and to that he at
tributes the lethargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts of the best minds
to counteract. In this he is In har-
mony with an American specialist,
who in decrying heavy midday meal
said that "the plan Of eating heavy
meal at noon ami returning to work
almost directly from the dinner table
explains the prevalence of dyspepsia
in countries not enjoying the long aft
ern0on recess Of the tropics" Since
the light lunch and the quick lunch do
not fit In with this criticism those who
have blamed our national dyspepsia
on the busy mans bite" had better
look little further into the matter.
Perhaps we do eat too much. as GER
tain diatetic specialists tell us, but It
looks as If we were slowly approximate
ing, the country over. to an ideal dietet-
ic system. for Americans, which makes
the lunch the slightest meal and the
evening meal the most substantial
meal OF the day, whatever 1t may be
called. And If the quick lunch of the
business world has had any effect in
this direction 1t is not the unmixed evil
some declare it to be.-Philadelphia

COFFEE ADUlTGRANTS.
The List Runs Through the Alphabet
From A to w.

The List Runs Through the Alphabet
From A to w.
If all Of the substances that pass
through a coffee grinding machine dur
ing the year should be written In al
phabetical order, "a" would begin the
list with acorns. and NV" would end 1t
with NORWOOD, sprouts of which are
sometimes used to give the debased
coffee a slight aromatic bitter taste.
AdulteratiOn occurs largely In the
coffee that is sold in the ground form.
Several coffee berry factories have
been discovered in Europe which were
doing a large and profitable business
by molding an admixture of tanbark,
stove rust, clay, sawdust, chicory,
coffee sediment and coffee meal into
a neat berry by the aid OF some agglu'
tinant, and these berries were SO well
made that the deception was not dis
covered for long time. This prOduc.
ton had large sale among the lower
classes of Russia and Poland, and,
mixed with the genuine coffee berry,
its sale was quite lively in other parts
OF Europe.
Unroasted coffee berries are often
made from oat and rye -four and corn
meal The natural aroma of these
grains Is destroyed by some process,
and after the proper amount Of coffee
aroma is added the berries are formed
and caused to maintain their shape by
some adhesive substance. The test
usually employed to discover this de.
ception is to place the beans in a re.
ceptacle containing warm water, which
will dissolve them in a few hours

Frank stockton and Poetry.

Frank Stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told good sto-
~ on himself In his youth in con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
flicted the editors of various Canadian
periodicals. The effusions always
came back. The editor Of one maya
zine was an especial target OF the
Stocktons, but as none Of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception Of good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode, little
known, by Milton. Within two days
they received a check and letter of
thanks. 81 came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw
it after ALL" Mr.. Stockton used to say.

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.
II Was an Ancient, Self Moving
Shrine of Bacchus.

Few, perhaps, are aware that the
first automobile, considered in the sense
of vehicle containing within Itself
powers OF locomo1on, Of which there
IL any authentic account was self
moving shrine of Bacchus.
This was the invention Of Heron OF
Alexandria, who describes 1t in his
work on automatic mechanism. The
shrine In question was mounted upon
two supporting and two driving wheels
On the axle of the driving wheels was
q drum, about which was wound q
rope. which passed upward through
the space on one side Of the shrine over
pulleys and was fastened to the ring of
q ponderous lead weight, which rested
upon quantity Of dry, fine sand. The
escape of this sand through small
hole in the middle of the floor of the
compartment containing 1t allowed the
lead weight gradually to descend and
by pulling upon the cord caused the
shrine to move slowly forward in a
straight line.
Heron describes the method of ar
ranging ana proportioning the wheels
in case 1t was desired that the shrine
move in a circular path. He also shows
how the shrine can be constructed to
move in a straight line at right angles
to each other.
Officials of the patent Office overlook
ed the device of Heron when they
granted patents OH slot machines, not
withstanding that previously Thomas
Eubank, commissioner of patents in
1850, illustrated and described Heron's
invention. The mechanism Of the lat
ter is almost identical with that in the
modern device and simply serves as an
other proof of the saying There is
nothing new under the sun."-Wasb-

GAMBLERS In JAIL.

CODY, who are serving sentences of 30
days in the county jail, the first four for
conducting gambling establishments,
and CODY for keeping his saloon open on
Sunday. 1t was expected that a delega-
ton would see Governor Orman yester-
day according to reports. A pardon
from the governor is all that can save
the men from serving out the full time
imposed by Judge Cunningham, and 1T
is doubtful if the court would concur in
a recommendation for pardon. Those
who feel that the pardon should be
granted urge it on the ground that the
men will have to pay fines of $500 and
costs each. anyway, and that this is
sufficient punishment, combined with
the fact that they have already served
several days in jail.

IN SEALED FREIGHT CARS.
How Cinnamon Are Being Struggled
Into This Country.

Ell Paso, Tex. Nov. 15--Additional
evidence in sensational cases which may
soon be presented against certain en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific railway
system has been secured by Watchman
Cook by the discovery of four China
men in a sealed car of merchandise in
the Southern Pacific yards. The China
men gave their names as Gin Lung,
Yea Tu, Yee Lee, Yee. Hing. All four
were taken TO the county Jail to await
a preliminary hearing.
Some railroad emp1oyes were dismiss
ed several weeks ago for alleged COM
plicity in Chinese smuggling. No one
but a railroad man could have placed
the four Celestials in the sealed cars.
1t is stated that last week more em-
ployes of the road. on the Tucson end
were dismissed, and that the railroad
has been watching for just such an oc-
currence as took place this morning to
give, proof to a suspicion that sealed
merchandise cars were being unsealed
to admit Cinnamon. This is a practical
proof of the assertion which has been
often made by the government officials.

GOEBEL'S MURDER.
Youtzey Said to Have Confessed
Names Howard as Assassin.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 15.-It is gen
orally believed that Henry Youtzey,
now serving a life sentence for alleged
participation in the conspiracy to as
sassinate Governor William Goebel, has
made a confession. Warden Lillard. of
the penitentiary, strongly maintains
that confession has been made by
Youtzey to anyone, but admits that it
could have been made in some manner
without his knowledge. A prominent
state official asserts. however, that
there IS not bit of doubt of the con-
fession and that it is a complete docu-
ment.
The most sensational story told in
connection with the confession is that
Youtzey is quoted as saying that he
stood in the private Office of Secretary
of State Caleb Powers, and pointed out
William Goebel to the man who fired
the fatal shot from one of the windows,
and that he says that Jim Howard, now
under life sentence for the crime was
the man behind the gun. He is said to
have given even the minutest detail OF
what occurred in the room. for half an
hour before the fatal shot was fired
and who entered the room during that
period It is also alleged that Youtzey
detailed his own actions Immediately
afterward in fleeing to the office of
Governor Taylor, and what was said
and occurred in Taylor's presence in
that office.
Another story told of the contents of
the confession is that it, in one connec-
ton or another, contains the names of
every member of the Kentucky admin
istration with a single exception and
that the single official avoided Frank
fort during the days preceding the
murder. This story, taken in connec-
ton with the testimony of Former
State Treasurer Walter Day. is taken
as an indication that Youtzey called
on all the officials as he did on Day,
for a contribution to the fund he was
accommodating to pay the assassin. What
success he had cannot be known until
the confession becomes public.
| How the confession or statement was
secured is a much mooted matter here.
That there has been promise of par
don is certain. There is a story that
Mrs. Youtzey, wife of the prisoner. ad-
vised it. 1t is certain that neither L..
j. Crawford nor Major Nelson. his at
torneys, either advised or had knowi-
edge OF it.
Another story is that the act was
voluntary on the part of Youtzev and
that even his wife knew nothing of it
until after It lad been made. The al
legged concession is said to be in the
hands of officials of the commonwealth.
