DIGESTION OF THE CAT.
From It May Be Drawn Some vaIu-
 able Suggestions for Human Race.

N A0 suggestions TOT Human Race.
 For some time past professor in Harvard University has been studying the process of digestion revealed by the RoeYfgen sray sent through tae stomach of divers and sum dry3 cuts. The results instructive, femarks The Chicago Chronicle Nw
 Theer are several cats employed In the ex- pertments. but only one at time and mostly Of the gentler sex. as the Thomases we're ob- stinate patients with irregular digestve pro- cesses. The subject kept hungry for ten hours and then well fed that after n pre- nminary toilet 1t stretched out comfortably to sleep. In that position 1t was strapped be- tween the lens and the sccreen of the appara- tus, so that the x-ray threw the shadow of its stomach on the luminous screen. little bis muth was mixed with the bread and milk of the cats food to darken the shadow.
 The food lay at first in the upper and larger part of the pear-shaped stomach. Then series of wavelike motions began from the center Of the stomach and continued with clocklike regularity, the shadows of the food passing from the. reservoir at the top to the passage into the intestines at the bottom, at ten second intervals
 Two important facts were observed, and to these attention Is particularly called. For reg ularity of the digestive process a condition of calm content necessary. The moment pussy became provoked at anything the wave like motions ceased and were only resumed when she regained placidity of temper. That is why Thomas cats proved unsatisfac tory sub 1ects. They lost their temper too often and the churn in the lower half of the stomach quit work It was also found that when ashard pellet had been waved on to the outlet m the stomach 1t was returned to be worked over again. this process continuing until 1t had been so dissolved by the gastric juice that 1t scarce- ly cast 0 shadow.
 These. therefore. are the two lessons Of the cats stomach to man at table and after. Thoroughly masticate your food that the ehurning process may not be prolonged beyond the proper time. Refrain from anger or worry after meals until the food is completely di- gested.

WON BY A BLACK LOOK.
Defendant in Murder Case Freed by the Ingenuity of the Cassius
 M ClaV

The late Gen Cassius M. Clay a lawyer of great adroitness in his earlier days and conducted many important cases, both civil and criminal. during his career at the bar says a Southern exchange.
 A man was once being tried for murder and his case looked hopeless. indeed He had without any seeming provocation. murdered one of his neighbors in cold blood Not a lawyer in the county would touch the case. It looked bad enough to ruin the reputation of any bar rister.
 The man. as a last extremity appealed tc Mir. Clay to take the case for him Everyone thought that Clay would certainly refuse. But when tho celebrated lawyer looked into the matter his fighting blood was aroused and tc the great surprise of all he accepted.
 Then came a trial the like of which has seldom been seen. Clay slowly carried on th5 case. and 1t looked more and more hopeless The only ground of defense the prisoner had that the murdered man had looked at hin with such n fierce. murderous look that out o self-defense he had struck first, ripplt passed through the jury at this evidence.
 The time came for Clay to make his defense II vas settled in the minds of the spectator that the man guilty of murder in the frs degree. Clay calmly proceeded and laid al the proof before them in a masterly way Then just he about to conclude, h. payel his last and master card
 Gentlemen of the jury. he said, assuming the feroest, blackest look and carrying thu most undying hatred in 1t ever seen-"gentle men, If man should look at you Nike this what would you do?'
 That all he said. but that was enough The jury WAS startled and some even quailet in their seats. The judge moved uneasily il his bench. After about IS minutes the jur! filed slowly back with Not guilty, you honor" The victory was complete.
 When Clay congratulated on his eas, victory he said 'It was not so easy as yo, hink, I spent days and days in my roon before the mirror pEacticng that look"

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
GIVE PHOTOGRAPHS AND MONEY TO AGENTS COLLECT
 ING BEAUTY" GALLERY.
Pay tho Price of Vanity-Mayors in Many States Who Selected
 Beauties Complain to Gov
 ernment and Fraud Ofu 9'
 der May Be Issued.

Washington Special
 Hundreds of beautiful women living in more than a dozen States have been duped by theiI own vanity and are now appealing to the Post office Department for revenge. and if that is denied, for justice
 The women who have made complaint are those who wore selected to represent their States in the several beauty galleries pro- posed for the St. Louis Exposition.
 Under the plans operated by two or three companies getting up the galleries. Mayors of cities were requested to nominate from three to twenty candidates. whose photographs were to be displayed in the collection. When the names were forwarded to tho companies. agents were sent to call upon the nominees and so- lcit the portraits, well a fee. to "de- fray the expenses'' of framing and otherwise preparing the pictures for exhibition
 By promising that the galleries would occupy conspicuous positions in their respective State buildings, the agents encountered little diffi- culty in collecting from S2 to SS each from the nominees. Most of the soliciting was done more than a year ago. since whom the women who gave their photographs and their money have heard nothing from the companies.
 Recently two or three State commissions have taken action on sppfcations for space In buildings and in every instance they have declined to enter into the scheme or to give space for the "galieries.'
 Knowledge of such action was received by several of the women, and the news was not long in becoming circulated geenraliy. In con- sequence Mayors of about 200 cities m all parta of the United States have been hold to acco unt and in sclf-defense 0 number of the Mayors have written to the Postofeice Depart ment to see what action can be taken against the companies.
 The legal branch of the Postofrica Depart ment has not determined whether fraud orders can be issued but inasnnuch as the malls were used in interesting Mayors of cities to make nominations of types o6 beauty and for the distribution of literature 1t Is believed that this can be done.
 Issuance of fraud orders against the compa- nies however, will not satisfy the women whc have been separated from their photographs and money. ''The prize beauties' would like to know what disposition is to be made of the photographs in the event the gallery movement

Every mucous membrane, ini the body Is slightly deranged by systemic catarrh. This leads to a complete demoranzafion of the digestive and assimilative organs. and bloodless condition of the nerve centers ensue. Nervousness is the re- suit; fretfulness, irritability, worry. com plaining-all of these mental conditions result from starved nerve centers.
 The only cure Is to remove the ca- tarrhal condition of the mucous mem brane.
 Peruna is the remedy that will do this.
 Peruna Is not a nervine nor a quieting medicine. Peruna cures just the oondi- tion-catarrh.
 Peruna cures catarfff of the Y ~ifteranraiii al organs. and the nervousness disappears
 The more nervines one takes for ner- Vousness the more nervous he ls There is always a cause for nervousness. This cause should be discovered and remedied

 "I have been afflicted since child- hood with a most unpleasant catarrh of the head. Nothing I did seemed to cure me and when I caught a cold my troubles increased. While visiting a friend I learned the real value of Peruna. had often heard it praised, but never paid serious attention to it. My friend, however, had been cured of catarrh by Pe- runa and I decided to use 1t faith fully and await results. I am glad to say that my greatest expectations were realized and was surprised to find how readily I was cured and how speedily. Within q month all the catarrh was out of my system and I have not been troubled a par ticle since. do recommend Pe- runa for catarrh."-Miss Nettie Nie- mann.
 Catarrh of the head is liable to spread to other organs. It Is the direct cause of many severe stomach heterogeneous Catarrh of the stomach and nervousness go hand in hand " 7"" f''~'i'1' .'
 Nervousness is vague term which covers all of those ailments which re- suit from a bloodless condition or the nerve centers Systemic eatarrh Is very frequently the cause of this condition

iNervines are unnecessary. Peruna has cured ,more cases of nervousness Nhan any other medicine in existence. simply because 1t cures the conditions upon which nervousness depends.

would appear, showing out of the ever green trees Now the islands were ever Igreen hills, rising from the water like lthe half-submerged Andes at the Strait of Magellan. and now they were apparent fly floating like those of Lake Titicaca on the Bolivian plateau. We had all the beauties of the inland sea of Japan allied to those of the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence.
 There were five hours of such sailing and then a turn of the boat brought Stockholm into view. The city foated, as 1t were. on the waters, the kings palaces tbeing directly in front. On one of the .hills nearer us was a big factory which, II am told. chews up bales of American cotton and weaves them into cloth for the Swedes and not far away were flour mills which are fed on American grain. On one side were shp-yards where the Swedish men-of-war are built. and right fin front was the city, with it's towers and ,spires extending high above the houses and shipping.
 American Goods in Sweden.
 Landing at the quay had no trouble in finding the tracks of the American inva- tsion. There were barreIs Of flour from Minneapolis on the wharves. great boxes of fruit from California. side meat and thams from Chicago, lard from Kansas City and American machinery from ev- Ierywhere. I stepped out of my ship on the Island of Staden, where stands the kings palace. and crossed the bridge to the island on which the chief business blocks are.
 Walking past the opera house I came to one of the biggest machine-tools stores have seen since I left home, IL was full of great lathes, augurs, cranes and bor- ing machines There were emery wheels and every kind of grinding and cutting tool.
 could see from the window that most of the machinery came from the United States, and I entered and talked With the manager. He was q Swede who spoke German He told me that the store was owned by a German and that the chief branch of the establishment was in Der lin. with a minor branch in New York He said that the best machine tools sold were of American make, and that they were better liked than any other. The most of his goods came in through Ger many, being credited in the reports to that country and not to the Ulited States.
 They Like American Foods.
 Leaving this shop l went on to my ho'el where left my baggage and then started out for a walk. I found other mac chine- tool stores in different parts of Stock holm, and also other establishments which handle American goods. The McCormicks s have an agency for their reapers and mowers near the Central station. Amer can sewing machines and rolled oats ara advertised on the bill boards. and Amer lean cameras are to be seen everywhere
 I entered a half dozen stores and restau- rants which were using Dayton cash reg isters and saw several agencies selling our best bicycles at high prices l am told that America is now setting the style in almost all kinds of machinery, and l see that it is also setting the styles for dress. The American flag is used for hat eyamminR here as it is in Berlin. I saw

relishes were canned salmon from Oregon, Holsters from Boston. dainty bits of Amer ican ham from Chicago and some differ ent kinds of pickles from the American who sells pickles, etc, of numerous varie- ties. There were also dried reindeer meat from northern Sweden. caviar from Rus sia, half a dozen salads, bread and butter and four kinds of brandy and gin Swe- den and Norway are famous for their salmon fisheries. but nevertheless the Co- lumbia river and the Alaskan salmon sell home product.
 Tn a Swedish Grocery.
 I am surprised at the American goods sold in the grocery stores of Stock holm. I made memoranda in one the other day. Upon one shelf were small sacks of American flour, on another American hams and upon others canned stuffs from fish to fruit There were peaches. pears, plums and apricots. as well as canned tomatoes and other vege- tables There were cans of chicken and turkey and of bacon, tongue, ham and corned beef. Sweden raises Ilenty of oats, but our rolled oats anPcracked wheat are selling here.
 American Steel vs. Swedish Steel.
 This country has some of the best iron of the world. and it makes some of the best steel. It's people buy carpenters tools from the United States, and the hest axes used in the great lumber indus try come from America.
 Sweden is now importing heavy ma ohinery from the United States. It re- gently bought twenty-one American loco motives. and it is likely to import others. IL is buying considerable mining machin- cry especially for the large iron mines which are being opened up in the far north, and the heavier kinds of agricul- tural machinery, such as reapers and

OIL CARRIER Is
AGAIN IN PORT
Shipped Much Water on Voyage
and Had Some Difficulty
in Berthing.

The oil-carrying sailing ship Marion
Chilcott arrived in port at noon yes
terday after sixteen day passage from
Alcatraz with a cargo of fuel oil, which
will be discharged into the Iwilei stor-
age tanks. The vessel had a fine
weather passage, but despite this fact
shipped a great deal of water through
out the voyage.
She was taken to the Railway wharf
on arrival yesterday, but that place
was SO congested with the cable steam
or Silvertown and sailing ships that
there was some difficulty in berthing
her. Her bow scraped the side of the
ship S. D. Carlton, and although Dad"
Am@bury, standing on the latter S
poop. used his entire strength in try
ing to push the bowsprit of the OIL
carrier away from his stern the Chill
colt gave the Carleton quite rap, and
in doing so carried away one OF her
outer jib-boom guys. The bow line OF
the Chilcott also broke in heaIng her
towards the wharf.
The captain of the Chilcott has
small dog on board, and this animal
furnished little bit of excitement dur
ing 6e trip. The dog attempted to
pass from the poop to the cocks galley
and was caught while amidships by
monster wave which the vessel shipped.
A member of the crew rushed to the
brute's assistance. and in doing so got
into water up to his neck but grabbed
the pups hind leg just as it was being
forced out of one of the .scuttle holes
by the rush of water escaping from the
deck

SOUP FACTORY ON
TUG FEARLESS
Yet Chief Engineer Says II Some
times Contains Sugar Mill
or Salt Water.

GO aboard and have a plate of
soup said Captain OLSON of the tug
Fearless to a man at the Railway
wharf yesterday while the tug was
over there berthing the ship Marion
Chilcott.
The soup was excellent. 1t was of
the bean variety, with few pieces of
onions mixed in to make it "Frenchy."
Like the soup?" Queried the chief
engineer of the Fearless; why, of
course you do. We've got the prize
soup maker on board here as cook.
His soups are famed among master
mariners. They beat those of any
French cook ever heard of. We have
new kind of soup here every day in
the year, but this rooster Of cook is
clever enough so that he makes soup
every day out of the same old thing, but
makes it taste different I don't quite
cackle onto his way OF doing II, but L
can assure you on the word of gentle
man that he does it. He uses
beans to make every known vari-
ETY. of soup. A carrot, or an on
ion, or possibly a potato, or bit of
poi, or sugar, or salt all come in very
handy in splicing the mixture so that
it appears to be a new kind of soup.
Now, just taste your soup, gentleme2-
Cook, where's son-of-a-sea-cook-
Alright, Chief responded the diplo-
mat from the galley.
Say, this soup tastes like it was
made in salt water. What's the matter
with it?"
ooh, soup alright. Yesterday you say
too much Eva in it; next day before
you say too much Kakaako in it. Then
you say too much Iwilei in it. You
kick all time-some day you say too
much sompin' else in it. Now you say
too much again. What l do. Soup
