GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS.
The Affect Difference shown Them
by Civilians Is Amazing,


by Civilians Is Amazing.
The respect and Difference shown to
the German army officer on duty and
OH duty by his countrymen are won
derful to see, according to a London
writer. Civilians, even compatriots
of distinction, on entering the dining
room bow to him with formal humility.
He acknowledges the obeisances only
with a rigid glare of naughty indiffer-
ence, though he is politely conscious Of
the coming and going of ladies. The
German civilian does not appear to be
surprised at or to resent being con-
temptuously ignored by him, but rec
ognizes him and looks up to him as
superior member Of a superior race
and continues to make his obeisances,
however ioftily they are ignored.
"But, while the officer is unable to
see the civilian at whom he is looking
point blank, he never misses observ-
ing the entrance and acknowledging
the salute of another Of his own race.
He rises from his seat and stands stiff
and erect while the newcomer ad-
vances and exchanges formal bows
and greetings, and as he RECEIVERS the
erect position from the bow he brings
his heels together with a sharp parade
click and waits until his superior has
taken a seat before he resumes his
own"
There were tremendous ceremonies
in eating and drinking. too, especially
in drinking. "Each table group lifted
their glasses invariably together, as II
at the word Of command, taking their
time apparently from the senior pres
ent. Having seized their glasses to-
gether and raised them together and
simultaneously drunk, they would
simultaneously finish and then, hold
ing their glasses before them, would
with great ceremony bow to one
another before replacing them on
the table II cid not matter whether
they were drinking beer or claret or
the German champagne, which seems
to be the especially smart thing to
take. there was the same ceremony.
When a senior officer went out of the
room. all the juniors present rose to
stiff attention and bowed as he passed.
When junior rose, he made the round
of the table on his way to the door and
bowed separately, with spur jingling
heel click every time to every other
officer"

Old DeIusfons.

1t is inexplicable how the old delu-
sion that a man cannot eat one quail
a day for thirty days holds its own.
Any man can eat one quail a day for
thirty days. At Lawrence some years
ago Will Upton ate two quails a day
for more than thirty days. For the
first week or two he starved himself
with the idea that he must keep up an
appetite. After that he sometimes ate
three or four Of the birds in a day.
Another old fraud on the public is
the belief that horse cannot pull a
sack Of sand at the end of a two hun
dred foot rope. Any cow pony In Kan
sas will go of on lope with such a
sack.-Kansas City journal.

FOOD IN FRUIT SKINS.
Nutritive Qualities In Them Believed
to BE a Brain Food.


There are more nutritive qualities
hidden in the skins of fruits, cereals
and vegetables than the average per-
son is aware of. In fact, the great
bulk of the brain building foods are in
the skins of the fruits and vegetables
we eat.
If, as Savarin says, "the destiny of
nations depends on their food" then
the destiny, whether a healthy long
life or insanity or suicide of every unit
of the United States depends on how he
or she is fed.
If the breed so much depends upon
food, why should not every person ca
pable of normal thought seek to pro-
cure such food as best sustains his or
her normality? Brain starvation,
through the lack of suitable brain and
nerve nourishment in our daily food,
is the sole cause of the craving for
Stimulants to supply, as they do, arti-
ficialy and improperly what nature
has provided in q natural form in the
skin of the grape, which contains the
best part of the wine; in the skins of
all fruits and vegetables, and if not in
the skins of the cereals, how comes it
that stimulating properties are extract
ed from them, as the inner kernel,
the starch, is devoid of anything other
than heat giver?
1t has been proved by chemical anal
ysis and demonstrated by microscopic
experiments that the most valuable
brain sustaining properties are resi-
dent in all skins of cereals, fruits and
vegetables, and as an instance of the
from partaking or rejecting the skins
here is an incident that occurred in
India, as told by an Indian officer:
A regiment was stationed in part
of the country where grapes were the
chief article of food. The officers, one
after another, became so sick as to be
inyalided as unfit for service, but it
being considered remarkable that the
troops were all well a commission of
inquiry was instituted, when it was
found that while every trooper in eat
ing grapes swallowed the skins the Off
GERS followed the fashionable habit of
rejecting them. 1t was then ordered
that the officers should swallow the
skins, which was done, with the result
that they Immediately recovered.
Thus it will be seen that the skin of
the grape. besides being brain feeder,
possesses other healthful and nutritive
qualities necessary to the sustenance of
the human body. The reason why as
paragus. cabbage. string beans, lettuce,
spinach and other green vegetables are
so wholesome is that the skins are not
rejected.-Our Friend.

Shakespeare. Anachronisms.

The very head and front of all offend
ers in the perpetration of anachronisms
was Shakespeare himself. He speaks
of cannon in the reign of John. whereas
cannon were unknown until century
and half later; of printing in the time
of Henry H.; of clocks, and striking
clocks at that, in the time Of Julius
Caesar; he makes Hector quote Aris

The s.Big Dipper.u

In astronomy the "Big Dipper," so
called, is in the constellation Of Ursa
Major, or the Great Bear. The stars
forming the tail of the bear also form
the handle Of the dipper. The first star
in the handle is Benetnasch, the second
Mizar, the third Alioth. The other
four, which go to form the bowl Of the
dipper, are Megres, Phad, Merak and
Dudhe. The two last named are called
'The Pointers" because they point or
guide the eye to the pole star, which is
distant 90 degrees. The top bowl stars
are 10 degrees and the bottom ones 8
degrees apart.
