Salt and Pepper.
From Tho chicapo Trihune.

from the IfiDuue.
Salt and pepper, as generally considered,
are Of value in bringing out the flavor of
the food to which they are added. That
they have any value from health stand
point is not so generally recognized. You
may know that lump of salt is good for
a horse, but you do not stop to consider
how important salt is for your own well
being In eastern countries the condl-
ments, such as pepper, are used to profu-
sion in all foods. Gastric troubles com
mon enough in other countries are conspic
uously absent, and the free use of pepper
has much to do with that fact. Salt and
pepper work against fermentation. When
the stomach is out of order, or, as the
common saying is, upset, it is in state of
fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who has
advanced to the point where drugs seem
the unimportant thing and common sense
the important in making the sick well is
advocating the use of pepper and salt even
in glass of milk. II improves the favor
to a remarkable degree, a fact you can
prove to your own satisfaction by taking
two glasses of milk, one in its original sim
plicity, the other changed by the addition
of a pinch of salt and dash of pepper,
then sip little of each The chances
are that you will prefer the seasoned milk.
Besides improving the flavor and overcom-
ing the tendency toward fermentation the
pepper will practically disable any microbes
that may be floating in the fluids. Thus
the gastric juices will perform their per-
feet work of changing microbes to food.
One of the best remedies for disturbed
digestion is hot water to which have been
added salt and paprika. If taken full
hour and half before breakfast, cupful
of this very palatable drink will complete
" cleanse the stomach and leave it in good
condition Out of hundred persons Sc
lected at random it is no exaggeration to
say that eighty eat too much and also that
these same eighty fail of proper mastica-
ton. Weakened digestions are of course
the direct result of overeating and INSULT
cient mastication, and weakened digestion
means undermined systems. At the ex-
tremes of life, youth and old age, it is
wisdom to make the diet much the same
A child nourisment should be very sim
pie, so in old age it should grow palmer
and palmer.

The COW.
From outing.


We learn from sacred history and books
of ancient writer's that the COW, like the
OK, originally was used solely for agricul-
tural purposes, at least, for many hundred
years, perhaps, before her milk was used
as a product for household consumption
1t is generally believed, also, that original
ly the cow, like the deer, buffalo, moose
and elk, gave only sufficient milk to rear
her young, from which we see what a
wonderful degree of improvement has taken
place, when single animal is nowadays
made to produce 100 pounds $50 quarts)
of milk in single day, or 100 pounds of
butter in a month"; or again, when COW
has averaged over her own weight in milk
every month for year. When we con-
slider the original ancestry of these animals,
these results are something marvellous.
Care, climatic influences, selection, mat
ing and food has played the principal part
in producing improvements. Man, by Sc
lecting and mating, has taking advantage
of the variations produced by food, or the
abnormal characteristics, and has gradual
" nodded and fashioned an animal to suit
his taste and ideals as to greater produc-
ton, as well as greater beauty and symme-
try of form.

Easter Superstitions.
From Philadelphia Record.

ltwould seem strange to attach the Gu
rious ceremonies and fate tests of Hallow-
e en- to the Easter season, and yet it has
recently been announced that the prevailing
fad for the coming Easter is the reviving
of quaint superstitions of long ago for the
benefit of the new century maiden who
would test her fortune and insure good
luck for the year There are found to be
number of old superstitions attached to
Easter day. Here are few of the most
popular
EASTER WATER
Easter water is the water that is taken
from the river on Easter morning before
the sun has risen. The person wishing to
test its efficacy must rise while it is quite
dark, walk to the river, fill her phial or
pitcher and return home in perfect silence,
and without looking back even once She
may then return to bed and finish the in
terrupted nap.
The water thus obtained, so runs the
legend, will keep sweet throughout the
year, and is considered invaluable as rem
edy for diseases of the eye. Battle your
face with it every week and you will never
have wrinkles. The dew gathered at sun
rise from crocuses is also preventive
against wrinkles.
LOVE CHARM.
If you stand silent and alone and watch
the sun rise, fixing your eyes on the radi-
ence until dazzled, then close the eyes and
say three times
Beautiful sun Oh, show to me
The face ofmy love that is to be.
then let imagination do the rest, you will
see the face of your future husband.
OMEN AND PREDICTIONS
If small spider is found near you at
any time on Easter day it will bring you
luck and money the rest of the year.
If you shed tears on that day it FORE
tells misfortunes and unhappiness of all
kinds.
A present on Easter is a good omen.
Always wear something new--a dress or a
bonnet, if procurable; if not, some article
worn next to the person.
Eat an apple on Easter morning as soon
as you awaken, and repeat all the while
| Gas Eve in her thirst for knowledge ate,
So |, too, thirst to know my fate"
Then count the seeds, and if they are
of even number your sweetheart will prove
true; if uneven, he will prove false.
Another test: Break an egg at mid
night, carefully separating the yolk and
white; pour the white into cup and let it
set until you rise in the morning. The
particles will separate; examine them well,
and if any letter has formed it will be the
initial of your future husband name.
EASTER FLOWERS.
This is all that could be found; only
don't wear any flowers on Easter except
jonquils and violets Widows must wear
violets always, but every one must wear a
spray of green, no matter how tiny. 1t is
doubtful whether any one will acknowledge
belief in these quaint superstitions, but
they prove an interesting list, and prob
ably many will surreptiously follow them
for their fate tests and luck charms, for,
after all, superstition is not all dead in
these twentieth century days.

Sources of "Kid" Gloves.

From the Chicago Record.
Barefooted boys and hens form a curl
GUS partnership in the making of a pair of
fine gloves. Thousands Of dozens of hens
eggs are used in curing the hides, and
thousands of boys are employed to work
the skins in clear water by treading on
them for several hours. When woman
buys pair of gloves she speaks of her
purchase as "kids IF the clerk who
sold her the skid gloves knew the secrets
of the glovemaking business he might sur
prise his fair customer by telling her that
those beautiful, soft, smooth fitting ''kid'
gloves came from the shoulders and belly
of a three weeks old colt, whose neck was
slit on the plains of Russia, and whose
tender hide was shipped, with hughe bun
dies of colts hides to France, where they
were made up into "kid' gloves; or he
might with equal regard to the truth tell
her that those gloves in the other COM
partment once darted from tree to tree In
South America on the back on a ring tailed
monkey. And, if he made the rounds OF
the store and could distinguish one skin
from another, he could point out "kid
gloves made from the skins of kangaroos
from Australia, lambs or sheep from Ohio
or Spain or England, calves from India,
muskrats from anywhere, musk oxen from
China and other parts of Asia, rats, cats
and Newfoundland puppies. But the Rus
sian colt, the four footed baby from the
rlains where the Cossacks live, the colt
from the steppes of Siberia, where horses
are raised by the thousand supplies the
skins which are the favorites at present
with the glove makers. Experts say that
the colt skin makes better, stronger, finer
glove than real kidskin.
But, after all, the real kid-the lively
infant of the goats which live in France,
Switzerland, Spain and Italy-furnishes
the choicest and most expensive gloves,
and nearly 10, 1000, 900 kids are sacrificed
every year that women and men may
cramp their hands in smooth, delicate hued
gloves.

Three-weeks-old Child Talks.

An alarm amounting among the more
superstitious to almost a panic has spread at
Harper, Kan, because of what are be-
lieved to be the prophetic inspired words of
FIVE weeks-old infant.
The child began talking at the age OF
three weeks Its first attempt was made
during its morning meal on February 20.
Its words were clear and incisive and it has
kept repeating them at irregular intervals
during wakefulness ever since. They are:
''Six years of famine in Kansas.
The sentence is taken by many to be a
message from the Deity, to be disregarded
by hearers at their peril. Already num-
Der of the hundreds who have come and
listened have gone home, packed up and
are leaving the State, firm in the belief
that long drought is approaching.
The child shows unusual signs Of intel
ligence, is well formed and of normal
growth, but parrots the words like phono-
graph. 1t can say nothing else. The
father, John Shelby, is a laboring man.
Hundreds have travelled there and wait
ed for hours to secure confirmation OF the
story from the baby's lips.

Miss Dohner's Visions.

MIsHAwAKA, IND, March 9.-While
in trance for 80 hours Miss Myrtle Doh
ner, daughter of farmer, says she expsr-
fenced transition from earth to heaven.
In statement given to the pastor OF Zion
Church, she says she was first ushered into
heaven where Christ sat upon throne
in magnificent splendor, surrounded by
hundreds of angels waving palms. There
were also many others, all robed in spotless
white, and myriads of children graced the
scene. Christ beckoned unto her, and the
entire populace of the brilliant realm sang
praises to the Lord.
Next she was led into different world.
All was black and in lake Of fire Satan $
subjects were writhing in pain and begging
for mercy. Satan smiled in derision at the
suffering ones and asked Miss Dohner to
follow him, but guide interposed.
Miss Dohner is one of 10 who passed
into a trance at revival meeting in Salem
Church. While in this state she spoke the
names of three persons, declaring they had
inst become Christians The three joined
the church at that hour, but the girl was
four miles from the scene where the con-
version was recorded.

We are told that we must distinguish
between the lotus, or sacred lily of the
East, and that mentioned by Ulysses, and
sung in the exquisite poetry of Tennyson.
"The mild eyed melancholy lotus eaters came.
Branches they bore of that enchanted STEM
These Lotophagi or lotus eaters, seem
to belong essentially to the world of myth
and poetry, of oblivion, of sensuous delight,
but faith in the atmosphere of enchantment
surrounding the lily, or lotus, survives,
whether born Of mythology or not. In
certain countries, sufferers from cuts or
wounds are recommended to bind on them
the leaves of the lily.
THE LILY OF FRANCE.
Gerarde, the old herbalist, says 1.-The
flowers of the lily of the valley, being close
stopped up in glass, put into an ant hill
and taken away again in a month after, We
shall find liquor in the glass, which, be-
ing outwardly applied, helpeth the govt.
Experiments demonstrating this to be a
fact are not, however, recorded. Grimm
says that in Hesse certain lands were rented
for the annual pay of a bunch Of lilies of
the valley, custom supposed to have
originated in religion. The Dominican
and Cistercian Brotherhoods held the lily
in high veneration.
German folklore stated that souls, when
disembodied, take form as either the lily
or white rose, and that one of these bios

executed, lilies arise, testifying innocence.
and if betrothed maiden dies, three lilies
will spring over her grave. which no hands
but those of her lover must gather.
Many suppositions have been advanced
as to how the lily became the flower Of
France. One is that il was adopted By
the Kings of France, because of its being
the emblem of purity, and associated in
sacred history with Solomon and Christ.
Again, it is told that after great battle
during the Crusades, lilies were found to
have covered the French banners as they
lay upon the ground According to
others, says Taylor, the ur-de-lys is
merely corruption of feur, or Flour de
Louis, and was not lily at all, but a pur-
pie iris which Louis the Seventh adopted
for his emblem on his departure for the
Holy Land. y Another unsatisfactory at
tempt at solution of the mystery is con-
tanned in the legend that ga shield Of
azure, bearing the device of three golden
lilies, were presented by an angel to Clio
thilde, the wife of Clovis, and that con-
sequently the lilly became the national
flower of France, and has remained so evel
since the reign of that monarch.
