II was on an ocean liner when she
ran on the rocks of the Englishscoast
some years ago" said a Philm lelphia
travelling man, "and in the panic that
ensued there is one incident that stands
out in my memory, illustrating the
slender thread between the tragic and
the ridiculous. We had a fellow on
board who had managed to keep pretty
well loaded all the way across, and
when we struck the rocks he was in
his usual condition. When everybody
thought for sure we were going to the
bottom, he sat down at the piano in
the saloon, and what do you suppose he
began playing? Home, Sweet Home
Somebody went to him and begged him
to stop. Immediately he switched off
from the doleful strains of the old song

AntIdyspepsia Diet.

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America If the peo-
pie of this country would adopt a plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. Gout is unknown among
Swedes and Norwegians. and the rosy
cheeks and clear compilations of the
young people of those countries are
the result Of the simple food the chill
dren cat" the United States consul at
Bergen, Norway, says. Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen in Sweden.
Knackbrode or hard bread is the stand
ard article of food. 1t is made Of
ground oats and rye. There is no yeast
in the bread, and it is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung UP
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals a day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state

Langum has a race apart from the

stranger and in its utter disregard of
the vast area Of world and things lying
beyond its borders. It's quiet life is
dominated by two all powerful factors

men in Langum, but they exert little
