Sip Your Milk Slowly.

Many people complain that they
cannot drink milk without being
distressed by it. The reason is that
they drink it too fast. If glass of
milk is swallowed hastily, it enters
the stomach and then forms in one
solid, curdled mass difficult of di-
gestion. At least four minutes
should be occupied in drinking q
glass Of milk, so that in reaching
the stomach it will be so distributed
that when coagulated, as it must
be by the gastric juice, instead of
being in one hard, condensed mass,
it will be moro in the form Of q
sponge.

Evil Influence Of a Peaked Roof.

As an example Of the superstition
prevailing even among those in au-
thority in the Chinese empire the
following extract from the Hong
kong Daily Press is printed:
"The Tartar general of Canton
has been troubled by an evil influ-
enee in his yamen which. in one
month caused the death of his wife
and daughter, as well as of former
Tartar general. A fung shut pro-
fessor was finally called in. He look
ed over the city and decided the evil
influence was the roof of the library
Of the government school for for
eign languages. The roof, which
was peaked one, was at once re-
moved and is now being replaced by
fiat one."

HOW jim WAS SAVED.
y Court Incident In Which General
Robert Toombs Figured.

""SSte iGotnpS Figured.
Iha love that many Of the former
slaves felt for their old masters and
mistTesses has been illustrated in
countless storiea. An incident which
happened in Georgia some years aft
er the civil war is related by the
Columbia State.
a negro man, strong end healthy,
but getting gray from years, was on
trial Tor murder. He had killed an
other negro and had been lying in
jail for. some time, awaiting his
trial. The testimony against him
was given by other negroes who wit
messed the killing. When the case
was called for trial by the presiding
Judge, an old man rose and in a
voice deep and low, but full Of mark
ed gentleness, said, "Will your hon

1t was General l.obert Toombs.
His face was wrinkled with age, but
It was large and strong, and tho
lines OF intellect made deeper wrin-
kles than those of age. His white
hair rolled back in curls from a
splendid brow. His form was large
and tall and straight, although his
movements were slow with the
years. His eyes still flashed as when
ne stood in the senate chamber at
Washington.
The witnesses oil seened unfriend-
~ toward the prisoner. In his. own
statement he claimed that the kill.
ing was in self defense.
General Toombs analyzed the tes.

concluded thus:

TO Stop Runaway Horeea,

In Sicilian cities an appliance
which is in general use and has been
for long time is an arrangement
by which the breath Of a horse is
shut off when he attempts to run
away. Standing out from the nos
trils Of the horses are little leather
disks, which the pulling of little
rein by the driver claps down upon
the animals nose, thus shutting off
his breath If he tries to get beyond
control.
