E0urh Gently.

Few people know how to cough prop,
erly. In fact, it never occurs to the or
linary individual that there are right
way and q wrong way of doing 1t. Yet
it is matter Of no small Importance.
If every sigh means drop of blood out
of the heart, as people say, every cough
means some greater or less proportion
of time knocked off ones life. Most
people cough as loudly and forcibly as
they can. Some chronic coughers seem
q bit proud of the terrible noise they
make. But it Is a rather costly noise,
for the simple reason that it tears and
inf1ames the lungs.
The lungs consist Of an eXtraordina-
rily delicate spongelike tissue, which
sometimes gets infamed and choked
with phlegm. When we try to get rid
Of this substance we cough. But, OBJ
viously, if we remove it violently we
must necessarily injure the delicate
lung tissue. Therefore train yourself
to cough as gently as possible. After q
little practice you will find it quite easy
to do so. In that way you will do a
minimum Of mischief to the lungs and
add years to your life.

LOW PROTEIN CORN KERNEL.

serves as a protection to the end of the
germ. 1t consists Of material some
what resembling the cob, and OCCASION
ally in shclling corn the tip cap re-
mains attached to the cob, leaving the
tip end Of the germ uncovered, but
nearly always it remains on the kernel.
2. Hull.-Tbis is very thin outer
covering of the kernel. 1t consists
largely of carbohydrates, especially
fiber or cellulose. although it also con-
tains a small percentage of other con-
stituents.
8. Horny, Glutinous part.-This part
lies Immediately underneath the hull.
IT constitutes second covering of the
kernel. usually much thicker than the
hull. For short it is called horny
gluten. although it is. of course. not
pure gluten. However. it is the rich
est in protein of any part of the corn
kernel.
4. Horny. Starchy Part-This part
lies next to the horny gluten. on the
back and sides Of the kernel. For
short it is called horny starch, al
though it is not pure starch as It con-
tains considerable amounts of other
constituents. especially of protein. In
an examination of the kernel with the
unaided eye the horny, glutinous part
and the horny. Starchy part are not
readily distinguished from each other,
the line between them being somewhat
indefinite and indistinct. Considered
both together, these two parts consti-
tute the horny part of the kernel.
5. White, Starchy Part.-This part
occupies the crown end of the kernel
above the grain, and it also nearly sur
rounds the germ toward the tip end
Of the kernel. For convenience lthis
material is called white starch, al
though it is not pure starch. In some
kernels the horny starch extends near
ly or quite TO the germ (near the mid
die of the kerneD and thus separates,
more or less completely, the white
starch into two parts which we call
crown starch and tip starch.

ter of the part Of the kernel toward

railway engine has face and that the
face has an expression. Look ut an

in its strength; another, gigantic IN
force, but not noble an expression OF
mere brute strength. Some engines
have q lofty, almost supercllious, e1-
preston; others almost foolish. Some
have an air of SNUG stoutness. Then
there are engines that distinctly look
angry and others comparatively gentle.

"The numerous fatal accidents report
Cd In the newspapers to rail layers that
occur every year on the various rail-
road systems throughout the country
are not In every case due. as is gen.
orally supposed By the public, to neg.
ligence or carelessness on the part of
the workers themselves" said New
York physician and surgeon employed
by the New York Central railroad.
1.-THE fact 10, the hearing Of these
men in time becomes affected owing
to the constant STOPPING position which
they are obliged to assume in laying
the rails, putting the bolts In. etc., and
that renders them often oblivious to
approaching trains, Notwithstanding
the fact that they work In gangs and
have lookout men near at hand. An.
other fact which Is accountable in
many instances for fatal accidents to
rail layers ts what Is known among
the men themselves as engine trance.
This might describe more clearly as
a temporary sort of paralysis which af-
fects simultaneously both the mind
and body. The stroke lasts only a.
few seconds, but those few seconds
mean life or death when fast train Is
approaching.
"a rail layer who may be in perfect
physical condition is not proof against
the powerful fascination as he gazes
along the rails and sees an engine
with Its row of cars coming toward
him at express speed. Although he has
been warned by the lookout and the

doubt accounts to some extent for thu

Plant Mixers.

All leaf buds, whether underground
or on the bare branches Of winter, are
plant savings put aside from the super
fluffy Of summer against the proverbial
rainy day. The starch Of which such
organisms consist is to the plant what
his savings are to the prudent man,
and the common potato is one Of the
greatest misers of the vegetable world
in this respect, for almost the whole Of
the tuber is made up Of starch food,
left as "a legacy to the young plants
represented by the "eyes." This is
true of all plants that grow from bulbs.
Some go further, for they run saw
ings bank in the shape of a taproot,
which, if left undisturbed, grows lar
ger year by year, to be drawn upon in
seasons Of drought when other means
of subsistence are exhausted. Among
these are primroses, carrots, beetroot
and turnips, and with these three last
this faculty Of saving has been devel-
oped by man to make the plants a
source Of profit to himself.

BATHING At osTEN0.
rhs Contrest Between Belgian aad
American Beach Customs.

American beach Cpseoma.
How differently from ourselves Eu'
ropeans do some things is shown By
the marked contrast between the BATH
ing customs and methods at the typical
American beach and those at leading
seaside resort abroad, such, for In
stance, at Ostend. Belgium. The Amer
lean way is too familiar to our readers
to need description. At Ostend bath
ing, which is the most striking thing
about the city, is carried on in ac-
cordance with continental ideas Of pro-
priety most shocking to the average
American. Instead Of the ordinary
dressing rooms, Ostend was the first
place to use the little individual houses
on wheels, into which the intending
bather goes to disrobe and don his or
her bathing suit. The house Is then
wheeled out in the water by q horse
driven by a man employed for that
purpose. The steps are let down from
the little house, and the bather enters
the water without having to prone
made over the sand. At the end Of the
bath the bather mounts the steps into
his little house and. calling the driver
again, has his dressing room hauled up
high and dry on the shore, where, hav-
ing dressed at his leisure. he leaves
the key with an attendant and goes on
his way. The bathing costumes seen
at Ostend are noted for their scanti.
ness, the striking popularity of which.
however, lies In the fact that the suits
worn by the women rarely. II ever.
have any skirts attached to them, ev-
erybody-men, women and children
alike-wearing tight fitting suits, the
suits furnished by most Of the publicI
bath houses being identically the samel
for both men and women.
The scene on the beach Is one of
great animation, and when the bathers|

,soMg CURIOUS RACES OF MEN.

Primitive Rock DWellers, feW Have
Ever Seen a White Mans Face.
A British officer who has just re-
turned to London from West Africa
reports the discovery of a curious race
inhabiting the unexplored parts OF the
island of Fernando Pc, which is locat'
ed in the right of Biafra, off the west
ern coast of the continent. They are
primitive rock dwellers. Their habits
are disgusting and most of their hives
is spent in drunken carousal ana oe-
bauchery. Few of them have ever
seen a white mans face, and when
ever one appears they seek refuge IN
the Jungle. If they bury the dead the
burial places are not in evidence any
where, no signs Of interment having
been found, although an assiduous
search was made. They are destitute
of clothing, but that is not strange
considering the fact that their habita-
ton is in the equatorial belt.
The Boobies of Fernando Po are
evidently as low an order of humanity
as the pygmies discovered by Stanley
In the dense forests of Central Africa,
or the blacks of the Australian Cont
nent. Stanley found the little forest
men to be numerous race, inhabiting
a section Of the country in which it
would be hopeless to expect any of the
higher types of mankind to survive.
The dark, damp, sweltering tropical
Jungle in which they live, and into
whose depths the sunshine never pene-
trates, was the gloomiest, most dis
-heartening and most difficult part OF
the continent traversed by Stanley in
his search for Livingstone. A larger
race of men than the pygmies would
find it impossible to move through 1t
to hunt for game and search for the
wild roots, fruits and berries on which
they subsist.
The Boobies must be classed with
the pygmies of Central Africa, the
wild men of Borneo, and the Amos or
hairy men inhabiting Saghalien, Yes
so and Kurile Islands, off the coast OF
Japan, as freaks of human kind, whose
place and purpose in creation will ever
remainta mystery. They certainly are
incapable of fitting anywhere into the
scheme of modern civilization and hui
man progress-San Francisco Chroni-

BIRDS SING ON THE WING.

Their Notes Are More CharninE
When warbled During Flight.
The songs of all birds gain In beauty
when they are uttered on the wing.
They seem to be delivered with more
abandon and greater volume. The wa.
ter thrush's first cousin. the oven bird.
furnishes a striking example of this.
His ordinary song consists Of reps-
tition Of the same note. hammered OUT
with constant crescendo.
Very effective 1t Is. too. as part Of
the general music Of the forest. though
lacking individual attractiveness on
account of the monotony Of It's itera-
ton. But when the bird rises above
the treetops and descends after the
fashion Of the indigo bird to an accom-.
paninent of scattered notes he takes
far higher rank as performer.
Not always. however. does he require
the exhilaration and inspiration Of an
aerial toboggan to cause him to aban-
don his plain chant for more horid
song. / have heard him sing the latter
perched on a grapevine not two feet
above the ground. And as If to show
that he did not reserve his superior
powers for special occasions he min
gled It with his plain chant and end
ing with the song and sometimes re-
versing this order.
I love to see the oven bird on the
ground. There is such ludicroun az
sumption of dignity on his part as he
strides about the stage, never for a
moment forgetting himself 80 far as to
hop. There Is the same even, meas
ured steadiness about his movements
that there Is in his chant. 1t is only
when he launches himself into the ef-
fervescing song that he forgets his
staid ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Thin Lips Better Than Thick.

In order to articuate we'll one must
be able to move the lips with the great
est facility. A person with thick lips
cannot move them quickly; there is too
much Of them. and the muscles which
move them are clogged and have Go
fair chance Of performing their work.
Thin lips are easily worked. so as to
allow the mouth to be quite free for
the emission of the sounds that make
words, and consequently the possessor
of them can speak fluently. A mustache
and a beard which covers the under
lip to the mouth are both hindrance
to clear speaking. They impede the
articulation in the same way as thick
lips, and the words get partly lost.

BILE Of Expressing.
When lover ventures for the frst
time to grasp the hand Of his charmer
she either withdraws it. and that Is as
much as to say, II have no heart for
you," or she suffers it, which Ia the
same as If she said, "He whom per-
NIT to touch my hand may hope also to
touch my heart" In lovers quarrels,
indeed, the hand Is withdrawn to ex-
press anger, but soon extended again
In token of reconciliation. Who can
tell all that is said by the hand which
another is conveying to the lips to have
kiss imprinted upon itl This Is done
either slowly or hastily, either with
trembling or boldly, and expresses civil
ity or respect, gratitude or love. Two
hands are folded tog"-her-their owner
prays; the folded hands are .raised-he
solicits something; they are rubbed one
against the other-he is impatient The
raised finger threatens; when bent 1t
beckons; when extended it points.
Two fingers produce the snap. sign
of contempt or defiance. The hand
gives; the hand receives. Both speak
aloud.
The hand likewise answers by TO
pulslve motion. A finger placed upon
the lips inculcates discretion. The an
clients represented the god Of silence
in this attitude. How they have repre-
sented Venus everybody knows. The
hand of the goddess says, II am bash
full" The Graces take each other by
the hand, as much as to say, eve ought

erasping each other are the symbol Of
fidelity. The cllnched fist bespeaks
rage and revenge. the followed hand
implores aims, the hand laid upon the
heart protests, the hand upon the fore
head thinks, and the hand behind the
ear expresses difficulties.
In q word, there Is scarcely senu-
ment which the hand Is not capable OF
