sound stomach. Food is the source Of
all physical strength, but to extract and
assimilate the strength from food requires
that the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition should be in

of the athlete is true of every man and
woman; physical health and vigor de-
pend upon the digestion and assimila-

country Inns In England.

A noted traveller says he has sam
pied large number of hotels in his
time-even in Greece-but for barc-
faced dishonesty in the making Of
bills the bluff British landlord takes
first place. "After charging twice
what his food and rooms are worth he
tacks on further charge for service,
another for lights, another for bath,
another for fire. In short. my expert
ence of country inns in England-and
can speak with some authority-is
that pay as much day at n shabby
little country inn of England, where
the food is poor and Ill cooked, the at
tendance inferior and the beds poor, as
l would Mt good hotel in such towns
as Springfield Mass. or the very best
In Switzerland or Germany. Indeed, il
must have struck the average Ameri-
can that the incompatible Baedeker
hardly ever finds 1t possible to recon-
mend an English hotel"

How He Fooled the Dog.

A gentleman who is fond Of studying
wild animals in their natural surround
ings once had an opportunity of seeing
for himself an example of the cunning
for which the fox has become proven.
bal.
AS he was standing near the bank Of
river one winter day, he saw fox
run out upon the ice and make straight
for a hole. AT the edge of the opening
he stopped, turned. followed his tracks
back to the bank. ran down the stream
and paused to await developments.
In little while dog came tearing
out Of the woods, with his nose close
to the ice and snow. lie ran along the
ice with his head down, following the
scent until he reached the opening. 1t
was then too late to check his speed.
He plunged into the water and was lost
under the he.
The fox meantime had waited in
plain sight to watch the effect of his
little trick. After the dog came into
view the fox remained perfectly mo-
tionless until he saw his old enemy
disappear. Then. with look on his
face which seemed to combine good
natured grin with mild contempt, he
went nonclalantly off about his bust
ness.

the Gariscnda, which was built one ycat

and Is rendered peculiar by its dc.

now only 1913 feet high, the width OF
one side is % feet, the wallis Mt the

higher up they are feet Q inches. Its
origin is somewhat obscure. but It was
certainly intended to Guido the ASH

blous times. Some say the original In
tention was to make 1t lean, but 9TH

IN estimating the valnc OF mummy
It's medicinal qualities are no longer
appraised, and thus the problem is cas-.
fer OF solution. Its value must have
been grcatcr when it formed rcgular
part of the matcria mcdica. Until
pretty late in the eighteenth century
mummies entered into great variety
of drugs. balms and other raedica-
ments.
AS the genuine mummy was then ex-
pensive, recipes were given by many
ancient writer's for converting human
desh into mummy. Usually only GER
tain portions of the body were used.
and these were beaten, dried, macerat-
cd and spiced out of all likeness to
their natural condition; hence "bcaten
% a mummy"
Numerous illusions arc made to the
practice in ancient literature, and in an
old play, BIRD In a Cage" are the d.
rections. MAKE mummy of my flesh
aud sell me to the npothecaries."

Constant motion jars the kidneys
which are kept in place in the body by
delicate attachments. This is the rea-
son that travellers, trainmen, street car
men, teamsters and all who drive very
much suffer from kidney disease in
some form. Foley's kidney cure
strengthens the kidneys and cures all
forms of kidney and bladder disease.

of the engine caused nae a great deal

a curlou. Palm Of south America.

One Of the most curious palms in the
world is called the ita and is very
abundant OH the banks of the Amazon,
Rio Negro and Orinoco rivers. In the
delta of the latter it occupies swampy
tracts. which are at times completely
inundated and present the appearance
of forests rising out of the water. The
swamps are inhabited by tribe of In
dams called Guaranes. who subsist al
most entirely upon the produce of the
tree. During the annual floods they
suspend their houses from tops of the
tall stems of the palms. The outer skin

the buckeye in four years. the maple
and the red beech in five years. elm

For Proving Tough.
The swan is said to be excellent eat
Ing when young. but us 1t is one Of the
longest lived Of all creatures 1t is well
to learn IL possible how old your bird
is before you cook 1t.
A gentleman in Lincolnshire, Eng
land, sent IL dead swan to the Athena.
UNI club, addressed to the secretary. A
special dinner was to occur that week,
and the committee without question
turned the bird over to the cook.
At the dinner the swan, resting on
great silver GiSh. was a delight to the
eye. bet when it came to carving and
eating the bird no knife seemed sharp

1t was out Of tho question.
A few days later tho donor met the
secretary and said. Il hope you got my
swan all right"
"l-li.t was a nice ie...e you played Oh
us" retained the secretary.

"Why. we had the thing boiled fer
thirteen Lonrs. and even then we

Eskimo Mourning Customs.

All Eskimos are superstitious about
death, and, although they hold festl-
walls in memory Of departed friends,
they will usually carry dying person
to some abandoned hut, there to drag
out his remaining days without food,
medicine. water or attendance. After
the death of husband or wife the
survivor cuts the front hair short and
fasts for twenty-five days.

A knot Of men was gathered in the
