Why the IBtestines DO Not digest

illusions Of one Scientist.

The digestive tube Is filed with fer
ments capable Of attacking, Of destroy
Ing and Of transforming the food with
which they come IN contact, but these
ferments attack neither the walls Of the
intestines nor the parasites which often
live In abundance on these walls, says
Public Opinion. What causes this con-
dition? The question has often been
discussed and now the researches OF n.
q. Weinland on the trypte, ferment
again bring the matter forward.
In 1881 FrenZel stated that he believed
the protection enjoyed by the intes-
tines was due to the antiferments which
are secreted by the living tissues. An
experiment Of n. Weinland along this
line Is very interesting. A mixture was
made Of hbrine and Of trypsine or Of
pepsin and the whole was placed to d.
gest after q little Juice Of ascaris was
added. No digestion occurred. The ex-
pertinent may be prolonged indefinitely,
but the ferment does not attack the
abrine when the anti-ferment Is pres
ent Thus Il is not the living tissues
which resist digestion. but the Juices
which impregnate them and which they
secrete.

GREATEST CHEESE MARKET.

Record In Quantity of Geese
Shipped to other Points.

AIkmaar Is not only the greatest
cheese market Of Holland, but also Of
the world, says What TO Eat From this
town yearly 10000. 900 pounds Of cheese
are sent out, yet the visitor, even on
market Friday. finds no amount Of bust
ness commensurate with these figures
going on In the quiet town Of 10. 900 in
habitants. The reason is that the cheese
is made IN the dairies in the country
round about AIkmaar, and only
brought into town to be shipped away.
On market day the peasants from the
surrounding country begin to flock into
town very early, bringing with them
loads Of red and yellow balls Of cheese.
The high, clumsy carts with long curV-
ing tongues. on one side Of which the
horse is hitched. are quite as picturesque
as the peasants themselves In gala at
tire. After unhitching and caring for
their horses. unloading the cheese and
piling It in an orderly pile in the open
square, they wander about visiting with
their neighbors. while they wait their
turn IN the weigh house.
