DIGESTION OF THE CAT.
From 1T May BE Drawn Some Vafu-
able Suggestions for the
Human Race.

For some time past professor in
Harvard university has been studying
the process of digestion as revealed by
the Roentgen ray sent through the
stomach of divers and sundry cats.
The results are instructive, remarks
the Chicago Chronicle.
There are several cats employed In
the experiments, but only one at time
Ind mostly of the gentler sex, as the
Thomases were obstinate patients with
irregular digestive processes. The sub
feet was kept hungry for ten hours and
then so we'll fed that after a prelim-
mary toilet 1t stretched out comforta-
bly, to sleep. In that position 1t was
strapped between the lens and the
screen of the apparatus, 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 a series of wavelike motions be-
gan from the center of the stomach and

ity, the shadows of the food pass.
Tag 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 regularity of the diges'
tive process q condition of calm con.
tent was necessary. The moment pus-
sy became provoked at anything the
wavelike motions ceJ sed and were only
resumed when she regained placidity
of temper That i: why Thomas cats
| proved unsatisfac, Dry subjects. They
| lost their temper too often and the
churn in the low' half of the stomach
| quit work 1t Eas also found that
when a hard pellet had been waved on
| TO the outlet Of the stomach it was re-
turned to be worked over again, this
process continuing until it had been SO
dissolved by the gastric juice that it
scarcely cast shadow.
These, therefore, are the two lessons
Of the cats stomach to man at table
and after. Thoroughly masticate your
food that the churning process may
not be prolonged beyond the proper
time. Refrain from anger or worry
after meals until the food is completely
| digested.

worthy of Attention.

Whatever may be said of the value
of specific recommendations in regard
to trusts, made by the American Bar
associations committee on CONNER
cial law, there is no denying the i'm
portance of any utterance from such a
source. When it is the unanimous
opinion of one Of it's committees thar
the American bar should lead In the
work Of regulating the great combi-
nations of capital which are now the
striking feature of our industrial life,
lawmakers and publicists everywhere
must give their attention.

First to Prohibit slavery.

The first Americans to prohibit slav-
cry in this country were the back
woodsmen of Vermont, who incor-
porated this rule in the constitution Of
1777, which established Vermont as
an Independent republic. Mayo W..
Hazeltine contributes an historical &C.
count of the time when Vermont was
q self-governing republic. possessing
a unique council of 13 censors, who
were chosen by the people every seven
years for the purpose of inquiring if
the constitution had been violated.

GOOD, ENOUGH.

While the red rose leaves do carpet
All the paths my feet do tread.
While the trumpet blooms are flaming
'Gainst the dark tree overhead;
Whilst my memory stays with me,
OF the good times ! have had,
I'll be glad to stay in this world,
For 1t isn't half SO bad
While nights come again like last night
And the oxeyed daisies bloom
In the meadow meath the hillside
And 1 breathe their faint perfume,
And memory walks with me
OF maid, and of day.
That the yester-year held for me
I'll be happy on the way.
With a tousle-head to meet me,
And to trot home by my side.
j can laugh misfortunes from re,
Meet the morrows happy-eyed;
With her yellow curls uplifting
To each gentle vagrant breeze
Pshaw! I'd like to live forever
When I get her on my knees
Long as there be those who love me
Life will be well worth the while,
Long as baby hands reach TO me,
Long as lips curve in a smile.
And are lifted up for kisses,
Just so long I'll happy be,
Just so long VIII this old foo;st
Be quite good enough for me.

A Mistaken Assumption.

Some one has been calling attention
to the passing of the lightning rod.
1t is true it has passed into innocuous
desuetude as a means of protecting
buildings from atmospheric electricity,
but is still utilized quite as extensive

tention to their fitness for Office. The

their lightning rods up for every Office

Thrusting the paper into his pocket,
Tom strobe hurriedly down the sloppy
sidewalk, and In a few minutes stood
before the large brick building which
contained President Johnson's Office. A
wave of indecision swept across his face
as he scraped the mud and snow from his
well-worn shoes. 1t was a perilous I'M
dertaking, and none knew the danger Of
1t better than he. Then the recollection
of his wife's bitter words returned with
full force, and he hesitated no longer.

William johnson was kind-hearted
man, and as he watched the big, childish
lumberman move toward the door sus-
picious film blurred his vision for mo-
ment. and there was just the least huski-
ness in his tones as he bade him God
speed.
Poor fellow" he murmured, as. he
turned to his work, 'life has not been all
smooth with him lately, and he is in a
great measure responsible for his own
misfortunes, but should greatly regret
if any evil were to befall him at this

that came bounding along as fast as his
short legs could carry him, regardless
alike of the slush of mud and snow be-
meath his feet and the gusts Of wind and
rain which came near upsetting him at
intervals.
''Say, you hearn?" he gasped, as he
dashed up to where Margaret stood.
