APPETITE AND AGE.
We1l-K nOwn Physician who Depre-
Gates PreSe nt-Dny Practice of
Overlooking the Aged.

Sir Henry Thompson deprecates in
creased eating as means OF keeping
up the strength of those who are adj
vancing in years, and particularly OBJ
jects to the repeated and general use
of concentrated forms of animal nour-
isbment for the aged. Overnourish-
ment in old age is apt to lead to pains
and aches due to the impairment of ex-
erection and long protracted course
of overlooking will end in an attack Of
govt. Even artificial teeth are not to
be considered an unmixed blessing,
for by a provision Of nature the teeth
begin to decay and become useless
just when the system begins to thrive
without much animal food Of coarse
fiber. Indigestion, says Sir Henry
Thompson, is mostly not a disease,
but an admonition. at Is the Ian
guage Of the stomach, and is mostly an
unknown tongue to those who are ad-
dressed" 1t means that the indi-
vidual has not yet found his appropri-
ate diet. "There j. no food whatever
which is wholesome in itself; that food
only is wholesome which is so to the
individual"

New York Museum to Have Very Old
Copy OF Aztec Work in HER.
oG1yphics.

When hieroglyphs are mentioned one
naturally thinks of the records of an
cient Egypt; yet before Columbus
landed on these shores the Aztecs Of
ancient Mexico had a most elaborate
system Of writing in hieroglyphs.
They formed long strips of deerskin
into books folded screen-fashion, on
which were depicted signs and repre-
sensations of ceremonials. These old
pref Columbian books the Spaniards
greedily collected and burned so that
only ten are known to-day in the whole
world.
One Of these has only recently been
found in one of the Libraries of Europe
and an exact copy presented to the
American Museum of Natural History
in New York, where it will shortly be
placed on exhibition. The text repre-
sents the history of the lives of sew
eral individuals. One recounts the life
of the Lady Three-Glints, who has two
husbands and a child and goes through
elaborate ceremonies.
Another portion of this old "Codex,"
as it is called, says the New York
Times, treats of the life of great lord
and conqueror named Fire Deer, who,
in company with other chieftains,
makes many conquests. This old book
proves most conclusively how love, re-
ligion and warfare went hand in hand
in the lives of the ancient Mexicans,
just as in peoples lives to-day.

GOTHAM'S COURTING CLUB.
Odd Organization in New York City
That Does Not Contemplate
MatrimOny.

The city of New York boasts club
which has for its object the promo
ton of aimless courtship in so far as
matrimony is concerned. A number
of young men there have banded them
selves together to make love to dam
sells, who, instead of looking for pro-
posals, are content with what is called
"a good time"
Their knights escort them to
theaterS, picnics and other amuse-
ments, make them presents, and are
generally attentive to even a greater
degree than the ordinary enamored
swain. Couples who break the rules
of the club by marrying have to pay a
fine of $50 and are forever banished
from the club. One or two couples
have already paid this fine says the
Detroit News-Tribune, and entered
into the forbidden state, a dinner for
each occasion being held by the club
to console the members for their loss.
An equally curious club has for
some time been in existence in Chi
cago. 1t is composed Of young men,
all of whom bear the Christian name of
Joseph, and who have entered into a
solemn compact to WOO no girls ex-
cept those bearing the Christian name
of Mary. The club has considerable
membership, and it is a noteworthy
fact that, SO far, its rule has never been
broken.

DAINTY WOMEN OF JAPAN.
tainly Cannot he Accused OF
the Sin Of OvereatinG.

The Acknowledged, dainty little fe-
male of Japan is easily satisfied in the
matter of food. She begins the day by
eating when she wakes couple of lit
tie green plums picked in vinegar and
rolled in sugar. This traditional
breakfast of Japan is completed by a
cup of tea. The dinner, which is
brought on red lacquer tray, is the
drollest affair. The viands are in tiny
cups with covers and among them are
such dainties as a hashed sparrow, a
stuffed prawn, salt sweetmeat, sea-
weed with sauce and sugared chilli.
After these dishes, which are mere
"frills," the substantial part of the
meal is begun. A wooden bowl, bound
with copper, is brought in, filled to the
brim with rice plainly boiled in water.
From this the flower of Japan fills her
bowl-a capacious one-and, having
mixed it with a black sauce favored
with fish, she then lifts it to her mouth
and Grams it down with the aid Of her
chopsticks. Thus ends her dinner.

AUTO CLIMBS A TOWE R.
penhaEen Performs a Most
Remarkable Feat,

A curious performance was late
ly accomplished by an automobile in
Denmark. Copenhagen possesses a
circular tower 100 feet in height,
which was formerly used for astro-
nomical purposes. Its top is only
reached by ascending spiral pas
sage ~ feet broad which winds be-
tween the outer wall of the tower
and an inner circular wall. From
the base to the top it is entirely
without steps, and the gradient is
seven inches per ell. An automobile
of five-horse power, weighing 200
pounds, and carrying three persons,
assembled the tower the other da/
taking one minute for the journey,
and afterward making the much
more dangerous descent with equal
success. 1t is of interest to recall
that the Car Peter the Great, on
visiting Copenhagen in 1716, made
the same ascent and descent in Z
carriage drawn by four horses.

AMERICAN PRECIOUS STONES.
Hardly q State In the Union In Which
There L. Not Some Trace
of Them.

When we think of the mining OF
precious stones our thoughts are
quite certain to leap into South At
RIGA, over to the orient, among the
mountains of Asia and Europe, or
perhaps to South America, but we
are not likely to think of our own
land yielding them; but the fact is
that no insignificant value in gems
is taken from the soil right here at
home. The report Of the geological
survey, just compiled for 1901, shows
that during the year we mined in the
United States precious stones to the
value of about 100000, reports the
New York Herald.
Diamonds represent only $500 of
this amount, but the fact that they
are found at all gives encouragement
to the hope that paying fields of
them may some time be found. Last
year one diamond was found in Lee
county, Georgia, where diamonds
were not before known to exist. New
Mexico furnished $4,000 in tur-
quoises, and these have been placed
on the market. Montana gave us
100000 in sapphires, which come
next. They came from Fergus coun-
ty. Granite county is now being ex-
plored for fancy colored sapphires,
that give evidences of being there in
paying quantities.
Fine and extensive rhodolite garnet
deposits are found in Mason county,
North Carolina. Many dark green,
blue and yellow beryls, IS we'll as
amethysts and emeralds, were found
in that state. There is hardly a
state of the union in which there is
not some trace Of precious stones,
and it appears not at all unlikely
that before many years we may be
competing with the old world in fur
nishing gems.

AMERICAN SURGERY PRAISED.
High Tribute Paid Our Docd Ors and
Medical Men by the Late Pro-
feAsOr VirchOw.

The late Prof. Virchow, the eminent
German physician and scientist, had
q high notion OF American doctors
and American medical scientists gem
orally, reports the Chicago Inter
Ocean. When interviewed some time
ago the professor said, In the course
of the conversat ton, that several young
medical students from the United
States had passed through his HANDS
whose attachments were certainly on
a very high level and whose bright
ness and alertness could not be eX-
celled.
II have great admiration Of Amer
lear surgery" he added, 1.-THE men in
America are as good az any we have
here In Europe and In some depart
ments they are better. LIDO not think,
though, that the American specialists
are as good as the best men In London,
Paris, Berlin and Vienna, but they are
making big strides. No penurious
spirit rules the United States. Every
thing is on a large, liberal scale, and
the splendid university endowments
there are bound to tell in the near
future. The American laboratories
are excellently equipped and the stu
dents have enormous advantages over
those who study at some Of the IN
adequately equipped schools in
Europe"

"The hat Of a citizen was raised and
carried against a place on the other
side Of the street. A Strapping fellow,
who had been picking his teeth with
a match as he sat near me on the varan-
da, got up, whipped out navy revolver
and fired shot at the hat, mailing It
to the fence.
"The owner came up, pulled the hat

There are employed on the farms
near Calumet 300 Finnish girls. who
work in the hay and grain fields like
hired men, says the Detroit Tribune.
The farmers say they are cheaper
than male help and give more COM
plete satisfaction. The larger number
of these farm girls have worked in
the crop fields in the old country and
prefer the open air to the narrow
kitchen confines. The girls work
faithfully and show no inclination
to daily and look the other way to
be surprised" with a kiss from big,
sweating hired man. Their employ
ers like them on this account; also,
because there IL no competition.

SHOE TRADE OF CUBA.
Shipments BY American Manufaetnr-

From statistics relating to the
boot and shoe trade of Cuba, while
under United States control, as
shown by the last commercial sum-
mary Of the island for May, 1902,
published by the bureau of insular
affairs of the war department., It
appears that Cor the period men

Cuba.
In connection with this statement
the fact is mentioned that during
each month Of the three calendar
years, 1899, 1900 and 1901, the total
importations of boots and shoes into
the island were $6so,621, $335,643 and
sio7,77s, respectively, considerably in
excess of the shipments from our
customs houses destined for all Eu-
