The demon of IndIgestion.

Cooks and housekeepers have a no
bier mission than they as class seem
to be aware OF. 1t is that of feeding
the human being and keeping him in
health and good working condition. A
poorly fed man is likely to be misera'
ble. Few If any Of us are able to rise
above conditions.
"A sick man, SIR" said DR.. Johnson,
"is always n scoundrel." The language
is perhaps somewhat strong and lack
ing in charity, but It contains a good
grain of truth. The dyspepuc, who sees
the world given over to evil and daily
growing worse, is very likely to think
himself unable to swim against the cur
rent and TO drift TO disaster. 1--WE
are saved by hope" but without a good
digestion faith, hope and charity are
almost impossible.

The fact that Speaker Henderson
cannot be whipped back into the race
for congress, and the further fact
that the republican leaders are very
much concerned thereat is the best
evidence in the world that the G. o. p.
is in dire straits. No more forceful
showing could have been made that
there is a strong demand on the part
of many republicans for tariff reform
than has been made apparent by
Speaker Henderson.

The Reward OF Kindness.

A kind hearted man in New Zealand
had a sudden shock a little time ago.
He was standing on q railway plat
form giving apples to a circus elephant
Gagged in a cattle truck as the circus
was on the move. The train started.
and the elephant, not to lose the last
apples in the basket, promptly seized
the man in his trunk and carried him
along with the train. The train had
to be stopped and the kind hearted man
rescued from the trunk of the travel

Young cells in passing up n river
show the most extraordinary perse-
verance in overcoming all distractions.
The large flood gates-sometimes If
teen feet I'm height-on the Thames
might be supposed sufficient to bar the
progress Of a fish the size Of a darning
needle. But young cells have n whole
some idea that nothing can stop them,
and in consequence nothing does.
Speaking of the way In which they as
cend food gates and other barriers, one
writer says: "Those which die stick to
the post; others, which get a little high
er, meet with the same fate, until at
last a layer Of them Is formed which
enables the rest to overcome the diff
Guilty Of the passage.
''The mortality resulting from such
'forlorn hopes greatly helps to account
for the difference in the number of
young cells on their upward migration
and that Of those which return down
stream in the autumn. In some places
these baby cells are much sought after
and are formed into cakes, which are
eaten fried. ."-London Standard.

The republican argument that In
dian territory cannot be admitted to
statehood on account of inalienable
allotments, but that Oklahoma should
be admitted in the face of large bod
les of inalienable allotments, is a
good example of the confused condi-
ton OF their campaign positions and
are the result not, of inability to see
such incongruities, but the outcrop-
ping Of an attempt to conceal the real
purpose Of the federal official gang
in preventing any legislation by mere
ly muddling matters.

BURIED UNDER SNOW.
She Great storm That Overwhelmed
New England In 1T15.

HNoNh
New England In 1T15.
In the spring Of 1717 an amount of
snow fell In New England that has not
been equaled during the three centu-
ries of its history. The great storm
began In February and buried the
earth to the depth of ten 20 twenty
feet. Cattle were buried In 1t and
were found frozen stiff under the
drifts, and hundreds Of sheep perished
Wild animals grew so desperate from
the cravings of hunger that they be-
came nightly visitors to the farmers
sheep pens. Bears and wolves fol-
lowed the deer even into the settlers
clearings and pounced upon them there,
killing them at such a rate that deer
reeves were afterward CHOSEN In every
town TO protect those valuable animals.
Many one story house was entirely
covered with snow, and even the Chin
neys In some instances could not be
seen. Tunnels led from house TO house.
and snowshoes were In frequent requi-
sition.
Stepping out Of the chamber win
dow some people yentured to explore
the fields q snow; One young man In
Newbury, Mass, was paying his ad-
dresses to lady who lived three miles
away and had not seen her for week
after the storm. This state of things
could no longer be endured, and, mount
ing his snowshoes, he went over the
hills to enter her house as he had left
his own-by way Of n chamber win
dow. As be was the first person the
family had seen since the storm, his
visit was highly appreciated. s.-.,-r

ORIGIN OF THE KISS.
The Greek story of the Way In
Which It Came Into being.

Which IL Came Into Heing.
kissing is usually accepted as an
agreeable fact, and it's theory and his
tory are ignored, but If kissing did not
begin with Adam and Eve it began
with the beautiful young Greek shep-
herdess who found an opal on one of
the hills Of Greece and, wishing to
give it to n youthful shepherd whose
hands were busy with his flock, let
him take it from her lips with his own,
says Science Siftings. Thus the kiss
was invented, and perhaps the popular
superstition against the opal may be
traced back to the same incident, for
osculatlon has wrought great tragedies
in the worlds history.
kissing was once an act of religion.
The nearest friend of n dying person
performed the right Of receiving his
soul by a kiss, supposing that 1t es-
capped through his lips at the moment
of expiration. II is said that kissing
was first introduced into England by
royalty. The British monarch Worth
germ gave a banquet in honor of his
Scandinavian allies, at which Rowena,
the beautiful daughter of Hengist, was
present. During the proceedings, after
pressing n brlmming beaker to her
lips, she saluted the astonished and de-
lighted monarch with n kiss "after the
manner OF her people"
The most honorable royal kiss on rec
ord is that which Queen Margaret Of
France in the presence of the whole
court one day imprinted on the lips Of
the ugliest man in the kingdom, Alain
Charter, whom she found asleep. TO
those around her she said, 81 do not
kiss the man, but the mouth that has
uttered so many charming things"
