Psychology of Digestion.

A Russian psychologist, Professor
Pawlow, has made some experiments
recently which tend to show there can
be no digestion without appetite. His
contention Is that the introduction of
food into the stomach does not, except
in rare cases, mechanically excite the
flow of gastric juice. His experiments
were carried out with "prepared"
dogs. The Bsophagus was cut in such
a way that when they swallowed food
it did not pass to the stomach, the
diversion being, presumably, unknown
to the animals. Nevertheless, these
imaginary meals excited the flow of
gastric juice, as did the mere sight of
food. But when food was introduced
into a dogs stomach without his
knowledge or cooperation whether
by a surgical operation or other
means he does not say the stomach
remained dry, no digestive process
developing. -NashviJle american.

THE CITY DOGS HABITS.
VIII Quickly Answer to "HeIIo,s But
Doesn't Know the Meaning
of a whistle


A dog fancier says that city dogs
would have to learn over a good many
things if they were sent to smaller
towns or the country
When you want dog in a small
town or the country" he says, '.you
whistle. city dog doesn't know what
a whistle means.
You seldom hear city man whistle
to his dog when the dog is united, and,
of course, there is no use in whistling
to one that is at the end of string.
Most city dogs are taught to come at
the crack Of a whip, or the ordinary
call: Come here
The city dog is also familiar with
the salutation: 'Hello!' He will fire.
quently prick up his ears at that when
he won't notice any other call.
"A city dog seldom banks on the
street when he is at large. He may
make night hideous if he is tied up in
backyard. but rarely in the streets.
You will find dogs along the piers.
They seem to have fondness for sail
ors. An ordinary dog will follow a
sailor when he wouldn't be coaxed by
anybody else. The city dogs habits
are peculiar"

TOMBSTONE AS EVIDENCE.
Importance of the Inscription An q
Kansas City Lawsuit fog
Property Rights.

The title to Kansas City property
valued at over half a million dollars
has been clouded by suit filed in the
circuit court there by the heirs of the
late Nancy Priddy. The property,
according to the ST. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, includes SO acres in the fashion
able residence district. Mrs. Priddy
died in 1892. Tt is commended by her
heirs, who are residents of Central
Point, Ore, that she was go years old
at the time Of her death, while the de-
PENDANTS to the suit maint tain that she
was 66 years old. On this point the
suit hinges. If she were but so years
old she had not reached lawful age
to execute a deed at the time she dis
posed of her property here in 1852.
There is no record of her birth, the
only evidence of her age being her
tombstone, and the claim is made that
it has been tempered with. The tomb
stone, a plaster cast of which was
made in Oregon for use in the trial,
shows this record: aged 60 years.
but the cipher looks as though it might
originally have been 49," and it will
be left to the court to decide wheth-
er it was or not. If the court declares
her age to have been 60 years at the
time of her death the heirs will win.

INDIAN PACK CARRIERS.
Roads SO bad in southern Mexico
That Even Mules Cannot BE
Used Upon Them.

A striking feature of these roads is
the number of human beasts of bur-
den" you meet. The roads are SO
bad that there. is very considerable
risk in conveying goods of any kind
risk both to the goods and the pack
mule that carries them; consequent
ly large numbers Of Indians make a
living by carrying, says Chambers
Journal. The Mexican Indian carries
his load on his back, slung by broad
leather belt across tie forehead.
Thus all his limbs are perfectly
free, and he carries long light stick,
like an. alpenstock to steady himself
in going down steep places or in cross
ing streams. These men will in good
weather carry load of from 100 to
$50 pounds, over the worst of roads,
for distance of 20 to rs miles day.
They wear no clothing except a
pair of cotton breaches rolled half
way up the thighs, and a pair of leath-
er sandals, on the feet; and each man
carries a blanket to roll himself up
in at night. They eat no meat, their
only food being posol (boiled maize
ground and mixed it'll sugar, then
rolled into ball and carried moist).
This they break into bowl of water,
mix well to the consistency of thin
Cruel, and drink; and their only food
consists of this posol and tortillas.
The power of endurance displayed by
these carriers is wonderful.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-08-27

Let us hide behind that clump OF
blackberry bushes and watch the
parent birds as they come to feed
their young. There comes the
father robin now; you can distin-
guish him from the mother by his
darker plumage. You will notice
that in coming with the food he
alights on a particular twig, hops
along particular branch and alights
on a particular side of the nest. If
you watched him for a week YOU
would probably see him approach
the nest in precisely the same way
each time. Now, here comes the
mother--a lighter-colored bird, with
gray ON the back of her head. You
see that she reaches the nest by
quite a different route and alights
upon the other side of it, and she
will do this over and over again.
Like men and women, birds acquire
habits which they rigidly adhere to,
unless something happens to prevent
them. - Ernest Harold Baynes in
Woman's Home COMPANION.

A MARVELLOUS TREE.
Palm in Brazil which LIS Pint to Many
Uses by the People of That
Country.

Undoubtedly the most marvellous
tree in the world grows in Brazil. 1t
is the carnahuba palm, and can be en-
p1oyed for many useful purposes, says
the Boston Transcript It's roots pro-
duce the same medicinal effects as
sarsaparilla. Its stems afford strong,
light fibers, which acquire a beautiful
luster, and serve also for joists, raft
ers and other building materials, as
well as for stakes for fences.
From parts of the tree wines and
vinegar are made. 1t yields also a
saccharine substance, as well as a
starch, resembling sage. Its fruit is
used for feeding cattle. The pulp has
an agreeable taste, and the nut, which
is oleaginous and emulsive, is some
times used as a substitute for coffee.
Of the wood of the stem musical in
struments, water tubes and pumps are
made. The pitch is an excellent sub
stitute for cork. From the stem a
white liquid similar to the milk of
the cocoanut and -four resembling
maizena, may be extracted.
OF the straw, hats, baskets, brooms
and mats are made. A considerable
quantity of this straw is shipped to
Europe, and part of it returns to Bra
I'll manufactured into hats. The
straw is also used for thatching
houses. Moreover, salt is extracted
from it,, and likewise an alkali used in
The manufacture of common soap.
