lack Moves ON the pnln

Jack Moves On the Palace.
You could almost have knocked Jack
Overton down with a feather when he
heard Barrajo make this astounding
declaration-in fact he was tempted
to pinch himself. in order to discover
whether he were awake or sleeping.
1t was not Jacks habit to appear dis
tressed-whether the announcement
were a huge canard. or given in dead
earnest, he did not mean these men
of Gautarica should see him staggered,

But there was something peculiar
about this discharge-lt came in the
midst of silence, and seemed, as indeed
1t must be. a signal.
Jack struck match and lit his pipe.
1t was none of his funeral. any way.
and II on the morrow the good people
of Gautarica woke up under another
dynasty. why that was their lookout.
The recollection of Barrajo gave Jack
something of shock, for he remem-
bered the expressed determination of
the general that he should be made
full-nedged citizen of the stormy little
republic. with all the rights and privi-
leges that citizenship implied.
Could that mean duties. too?"
Would he be expected to sally forth
and join in the game of hide and seek,
of shooting at one who wore the rival
colors, whether in arms or endeavoring
to escape?
He guessed not. Still he dared not
go to sleep-who would care to do so
when volcano was in eruption all
around?-and the night gradually
wore away.
The clamor died away dozen times,
only to break out afresh.
At last. dawn.
Jack Overton was jolly glad to see
1t arrive through the little window.
He devoutly prayed he might not
pass another such night for long
time to come.
Somehow, he could not but speculate
as to the complexion OF the new dynas-
ty. and what effect. If any, the change
might have on his fortunes.
Then came a heavy rap on the door
"a rap he knew full well could pro-
ceed from no other than Barrajo. So
overton. pipe still in hand. stepped
over to the door and opened it.
He had no sooner done SO than
mighty cheer went up from more than
two score of throats.
Jack stared in amazement, for he
realized that the whole army of the re-
public was represented in that double
line of shouting and gesticulating
troops. some of them barefooted, 9th

him who was Gin" and who was "out"
at the palace. To Barrajo he must
look for an explanation, and when a
wave of that hero's sword again
brought silence upon the scene. Jack
hastened to ask:
What does this mean, general?"
They want speech. Senior overton

Then why don't you give it to

Good heavens, why should ad-

aghast. and with growing uneasiness.
Because. Senior Overton. you have

night you ceased to be a plain citizen
and became the President of Gautarica

BRAIN WORK.
Its Eject Upon the Body and the
Kind of Food 1t Demands.

Ats Eject Upon the Body and the
Kind of Food 1t Demands.
the changes Of tissue in the brain
mat take place during study and
thought are very important and very
rapid. 1t has been estimated that three
hours of brain work cause 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 at
the expense of the body and rarely
gives the latter sufficient exercise to
counteract the mental strain and keep
1t In condition to resist disease. Bear
in mind that, while the waste of the
body Is much more rapid. the depriva-
ton 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 it 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 if they continue to work
in the afternoon. Is glass of milk or
cup of hot chocolate or, better still. a
glass Of fresh buttermilk, with two or
three graham waters or a bit of toast
and some fruit. an apple. figs or an or
ange.

retroactive Power of the Ruby.

The primitive form of the spinei
ruby is like that of the diamond, eight
sided, which distinguishes 1t at once
from the oriental stone. The color OF
the genuine ruby is that of the arte-
rial blood, or pigeons blood. as 1t Is
called. 1t is extremely hard and after
the sapphire is the hardest OF the
corundums, which renders 1t difficult
to understand why the earth so rarely
gives it up. It's tint is as beautiful by
artificial light as by day. and Its pow
ers OF reflection are so great that an
cient belief credited it with power OF
emitting light. The ancients even sup
posed that It would shine through
clothing with undiminished power.
