Recent experiments, by practical
tests and examination with the aid
of the x-Ray. establish it as 4 fact
that Catarrh of the Stomach is not
a disease In Itself, out that Il is a
condition resulting from repeated
attacks of indigestion.
The stomach and alimentary
canal, OF digestive tract, is lined or
coated with g mucous membrane.
Studding the surface Of this mucous
membrane are the gastric glands.
Here, also. are the terminal branches
of the pneumogastric nerves. and
many branches from the synpa-

Fifty years ago the children Of New
York city upon Thanksgiving day pa
raded with toy guns, swords and
drums, while the young men formed
themselves into clubs which dressed in
fantastic fashion. parading on horse
back from rendezvous to some park,
cocntry resort or turkey shoot. Their
favorite guise was that of the redskin.
The civil war gave an increased mill.
tary character to the Thanksgiving
actors. and target companies became
numerous. Later bonfires and potato
and corn rossts came to be features OF
the celebrations. The mounted bands
became ragamuffins pure and simple
and the hideous fish horn took the
place of drums and guns.

Railway Drinks in Germany.

Several of the German governments
have recently manifested great interest
in catering to the passengers within
their borders. In Germany, much more
than here, refreshments are hawked
alongside the passenger trains by wait
ers attached to the station restaurants.
Now the authorities in SaXony have or
dered that these things must be includ-
ed in the offerings: Cool drinking wa
ter-for not more than five pfennigs
az cents) a glass of 0.4 litre (the ca
pacity of a small beer mug); mineral
wa~terfornot morethan five cents a small
bottle, and fresh fruit in season, with
the price plainly marked. Bottles and
glasses must be kept perfectly clean,
and the provisions in the station buffets
must be kept under glass to protect
them from dust. Severe penalties are
to be inflicted for violations of these
es.-Chicago Journal.

! A Chinaman's pocket is more diff
cult of acces than the p~roverbial
pocket of our grandmothers, which
furnished the theme of many ancient
jests. On occasion Cinnamon produce
They buy for ready cash. Money
comes from them at remote intervals,
but from what exact location no Cau-
,casian has been able to ascertain.
Each Chink is a sort of a prestidigita-
teur. He contracts to purchase a thing
and, presto! there is the money on the.
counter. There is no delving in the
depths of coat or trousers, as with the
white man. The coin ma~terializes, as
1t were, before your eyes. Enterpris-
ing highwaymen have held up China
men and dissected them, but discov-
cred no pockets. Where does the
heather carry his changer. 1t is a.
question that vexes. 1t is easy to hold
up a Chinaman, but until we locate
his pockets it is not worth while.

to perform a public service. He could
not be a pickpocket where there a

SAND-FLY LIVES BUT A DAY.
Delicate Little Insect Furnishes an
Interesting study to the
scientists.

Here is a tragic story Of the sand
iy,
1t has but a day to live in the light.
IN order to carr the right tothat day OF
life it lives from one to three years in
darkness, down in the mud at the bot
tom of lakes or rivers. Moreover. the
sand fly is perfectly harmless. 1t can
cannot even eat. All it can do is to
hit about for a few hours enjoying the
light of day or the glare of an electric
lamp.
Professor G. B. Davenport, of the
University of Chicago. told the other
lay, says the Inter-Ocean, about the
delicate, beautiful little insects which
prove a pest to a great many people.
The sand fly is known to scientists
familiarly as the May fly. In scientific
terms it is called Ephemerida. This
name is taken from the Greek word
Ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sand
fly is one of the most interesting and
beautiful of insects.
The fly lives but a day at most. but
before it sees light it has lived for
rom n to three years under the
water in the form of what the scien-
lists call a nymph. This nymph can
Doth walk and swim. AS it grows it
molts and after about the ninth mott
tiny wings appear on its thoraX. These
grow larger until the insect comes
forth from the water a sand fly. 1t
then has but n duty, to lay it's eggs.
This done the sand fly zigzags through
the air until its brief life is ended.
The popular idea that the sand flies
are blown across the lake to Chicago
is wrong, according to the university
scientists. The sand fly could not live
to be blown that far, and, besides. the
insect always flies against the wind
and not with it.

Arsenic and Gold.

BY a singular change of circumstan-
ces, the gold-miners of Hastings county,
Ontario, Canada, who for years were
baf1ed in trying to extract the precious
metal from it's matrix by the presence
of arsenic in the ore, have lately found
the arsenic to be more profitable than
the gold. This is due at nee to the great
purity of the Canadian arsenic and to
the rapid exhaustion of the arsenic de-
posits of England and Germany. At the
same time, the introduction of a sue
cessful method of separating the gold
increases the profit of working the Ca
madam deposits, because every ton of
the arsenical ore carries from 81 to $50
worth of gold.--Science.
