BRAIN WORK.
It's Encct Upon the body and ths
Kind OF Food II Demands

The changes OF tissue in the brain
that take place during study and
thought are very important and very
rapid. II has been SITUATED that three
hours Of brain work cnu' as great an
exhaustion Of the forces Of the body as
an entire day Of manual labor.
This waste must be replaced by
abundant food. but its selection re.
quires careful consideration and often
self denial, for many things which the
physical worker can eat with perfect
impunity are slow poison to the brain
worker, who exercises the brain ut
the expense Of the body and rarely
gives the latter sufficient exercise TO
counteract the mental strain and keep
IL In condition 10 resist disease. Bear
In mind that, while the waste OF the
body Is much more rapid, the depriva-
tion OF physical exercise encourages
torpidity OF the voluntary functions
and renders them sluggish In eliminat-
ing these wastes; therefore it is Of the
utmost importance that the tasks i'm.
posed upon them should be light.
Brain workers require the most con-
centrated and easily digested foods.
They should eat fresh beef and NUT
ton, fish, eggs-cooked in many forms,
but never hard boiled or fried-oysters
and crisp salads, lettuce. chicory, toma-
toes, watercress, etc. with mayonnaise
or French dressing. They should begin
the day with fruit and make II form
the principal part Of luncheon and be
very sparing in their use Of cereals,
eschewing entirely white bread and
oatmeal. Their ideal luncheon, which
must be light IL they continue to work
in the afternoon, is a glass of milk or
cup OF hot chocolate or, better still, a
glass Of fresh buttermllk, with two or
three graham waters or a bit of toast
and some fruit, an apple, figs or an or
ange.

Something He Had Forgotten.

$50 you enjoyed your continental
trip, did you?" inquired the simple old
gentleman. 81 haven't been over in
fifty years. but my recollections are
still vivid. ] remember once standing
on Mont Blanc. watching the sun sink
behind the blue waters of the Mediter-
ranean. while TO my right the noble
Rhine rushed onward to the Black sea.

SHOWS of winter, were on the left.

II has long been known that dia-
monds. especially the class known as
'rose diamonds" are likely to explode
II subjected only 10 what would seem
very ordinary degree of heat. such as
strong rays from the sun, etc. 1t is
now believed that the explosions are
the result of the rapid expansion of
certain volatile liquids inclosed in cavi.
ties near the center Of these precious
stones. A great many diamonds, even
though cut, mounted and worn as gems
of perfection, are still in an unfinished
condition-that is, the liquid drop from
which the stone is being formed has
not as yet deposited all of its pure
crystals OF carbon" These movable
drops may occasionally be seen With
the naked eye.

one may readily comprehend how a
very small amount of heat would
cause the liquid aud gas to expand to
such n degree that the diamond would
give way with all the characteristics
of miniature explosion.

There is nothing vulgar about the
ancestry of the shoemaking trade in
the United States. The first shoemak-
er came over In the Mayhower. His
name was Thomas Beard, and he had
an income from tue London company
of 500 year and received fifty acres
of land on which to settle. Seven
years later the city of Lynn was
founded, and ever since it has been
making shoes for the world. Philip
Kertland, a native OF Buckingham
shire, was the first shoemaker OF the
city of Lynn. In George Washington's
day Lynn had 200 master workmen
and GOO journeymen shoemakers, turn
ing out every year no less than 100000
pairs of fine shoes.

THE MILKY WAY.
A system which Gives Us Vague
Idea of the Eternity of Space.


The MILKY Way, the grandest feature
of the "frmainent which bends above
us" the hazy path which so majestic
ally bands the whole fabric of the
skies together. is now known to be
composed Of a grand aggregation of at
least 1S,O00,000 suns, each as large as
or larger than that which makes vege.
table and animal life an earthly posi-
bility. One Is apt when allowing the
mind to revert TO the contemplation of
these misty and indistinct astronomical
subjects to measure their magnitude
or attempt to measure it by making
terrestrial comparisons
1t is obvious, however, upon more
mature reflection that such compari-
sons are worse than "odious." The bulk
Of our sun exceeds that of the earth
100000 times, being 600 times great
er than that of the bulk of his whole
train of planets taken collectively. This
being the case, what basis can we use
for calculating the magnitude of 49,
100000 suns, each, as | have said be
fore, probably larger than that which
gives us heat and light?
The infinite number of suns which,
taken together, make up the Milky
Way are not set at a uniform distance
from our earth or even from our sun
In fact, they appear TO work altogeth-
er independently of either this nun
dane sphere or our GLORIOUS orb or
day" The majority of them are plant
ed at distance too remote to be even
| imperfectly measured or understood
Some of them are so near (O that
light, which travels at the rate OF
$4,000 miles per second would cross
the distance between us and them In
the period of about an even ten years.
Others, however, are so remote that 1t
would take full thousand years for
their light TO reach us.
