EARTH'S FLOWER BEDS.
One day I went out among
the trees to rest, and being very
tired I was soon asleep. A small,
beautiful fairy dressed in a
dainty dress of gauze came to
me and told me I could have the
pleasure of watching the earth
from above the clouds. I was
delighted with the thought and
a thrill Of joy came over me
when I saw the earth below.

CHEW FOOD THOROUGHLY.
How One Mny Eat Hot Bread With
ont Fear of Dyspepsia.

out Fear OF DySpcpslh
It is n common thing to hear persons
cay that they cannot eat this or that
because it does not agree with them.
The chances are that they could eat It
with impunity if they would only learn
to chew il New bread and hot rolls are
two delicacies in point. Few things
taste better, yet there are thousands Of
persons who will hold up their hands
in horror and declare that they are the
most indgestible of stuff.
Yet there is absolutely no reason why
this should be true. Stale bread, con
trary to the common belief, IS not bit
more digestibIe than fresh bread. But a
slice of stale bread on being broken
with the teeth resolves itself into more
or less hard and gritty particles which
it is almost impossible to swallow until
they are softened by the saliva. The
particles irritate the throat and the gul-
let until they are well moistened. The
fact is therefore that man is absolutely
compelled to maSticate stale bread be-
fore he swallows it. This act, of course,
partially digests the bread and thus
makes it in a fit state for digestion and
absorption farther on in the alimentary
tract That is why stale bread appears
to be more digestible than new bread.
New bread is soft, doughy or plastic,
and there appears to be no necessity to
soften it with saliva, hence it escapes
the preliminary digestive action. 1t IS
in reality bolted, and boiling accounts
for dyspepsia Hot rolls can be enjoyed
for breakfast without any fear Of dys-
pepsia so long as the bread is good and
so long as pains are taken to chew it
thoroughly.

"The Light That Failed"

A wealthy Riverina squatter now de-
parted, as he used to phrase 1t, "to the
great Muster" was noted almost as
much for his Attic wit as for his
parsimony. He also suffered very
badly and helped along his halting
utterance with frequent ejaculation
of Dye see? Dye see" His mig
gardly traits gained him widespread
local unpopularity and the bitter en-
nifty of sundowners, who We're always
vigorously refused rations at his sta
tionS.
Smarting under this unusual inhos-
pitality, some disappointed swaggles
on occasion set fire to one of the squat
ter's wool sheds and then wrote upon
a gate: We've well burnt down your
wool shed. Dye see? Dye see"
OF course, it caught the big mans
eye when next he passed through. For
q moment he contemplated the an
nouncement and then with Il sardonic
grin took the stump of Il blue pencil
from his pocket and scribbled under
meath: 1T was well insured. Dye see?
