The Antiseptic Gauges.
There Is q scientific basis for the uni
versal faith-usually called superstition
among Hindus in the cleansing quail
ties of the Ganges as well as in its pecu-
liar sanctity. Careful experiments have
shown that the river possesses extraor-
binary and inexplicable antiseptic prop
critics. A government analyst took water
from the main sewer of Benares which
contained millions of cholera germs.
When emptied into a receptacle of
Ganges water, in six hours they were all
dead. He took undeniably pure water
and threw a few of these cholera germs
in. They propagated and swarmed.
These tests were tried repeatedly.

Women Doctors In Algeria.

Women Doctors In Algeria.
A Paris dispatch to the London
Times, says that the Algerian govern
ment has entered upon the interesting
experiment of providing native women.
who are prevented by their social Gus
toms from going to ordinary doctors,
with free consultations by qualified
medical women. The French colony
is thus following the example set by
Lord Duferin In India in organizing e
medical service for the zenanas, and by
Austria Hungary In Bosnia and Herze-
govina. In each village where tho
Mussulman population is sufficiently
large the government proposes to es-
tablish a lady practitioner, providing
her with the necessary medicines and
instruments, and giving her a salary
proportionate to her work. Applicants
for these positions must be provided
with diplomas either as doctors in medi-
cine or officers of health.

DESERVING OF PITY.
Break His Fast ON Res
taurant Fare.

A plea for pity is entered by an east
ern journal on behalf of the unfortunate
man who through the summer
breakfast or wait until luncheon time
to break his fast. And the commisera-
ton is solicited because someone has
complained that restaurant keepers do
not give the amount of attention to serv-
ing the days first meal that they do to
and fast figures ut hand to prove that
this is SO, but it is rather general con-
clusion that left-overs from the day be-
fore are used for the first corners, and
that this is hardly square dealing, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
Then. besides the matter of the food
being none too fresh, there is complaint
that there is much Of setting to rights
in the restaurants during the hour one
wishes to take breakfast, which creates
a confusion calculated to make even an
appetizing meal unenjoyable. Sweep
ing, busting, filing of salt, pepper and
vinegar receptacles go on under the pa
irons very nose, while the walters dis
play sang froid that tells him, or ap-
pears to do SO, that he has no business
to eat in strange places, that II he has
a home he should be in 1t and that ii he
hasn't place to call home he is very
poor specimen, indeed, and not worthy
of more consideration than he is receiv-
ing.
With these complaints at hand, then,
it seems we shall all have to take it for
granted that there's foundation Of fact
for them, and do what we can to Inn
press it upon restaurant keepers that
their first duty in summer is to do their
share toward making life pleasant for
the self-sacrifcing man who sends his
family into the country while he stays
behind and earns the money to pay
their bills and his own. An awakening
to this duty swept through the ranks
of purveyors of life's necessities and
pleasure years ago and the results have
been as satisfactory as substitutes, or,
we might say, compensations could well
be. Let the restaurant keepers join this
band of home missionaries and the de-
serted husband may find that desertion
isn't all the bad things that some folk
declare it to be-

Nga-pe is 4 dainty peculiar to the
Burmese; this is how it is prepared:
A hole is dug in the ground, and a

Then some salt is thrown in. with the
addition of some chillies and various

After a good many months the black

secondly, they are flesh eaters.

Horse1esh is by no means bad dish.

is greatly in favor Of the use of horse

Snails are not half bad eating. Last
year Paris consumed fully 800 tons of
snails. Large quantities are being eat
en- in America; in addition, very many
are consumed in other parts of the
world. In fact the snail market is Wild
ening from year to year.
The creatures are bred in Burgundy
and Savoy mostly. There they are kept
in Enclosures formed of tarred palings
over which they cannot climb. They are
fed principally on vine leaves. 1t is
said that, treated thus, they acquire the
delicate flavor of 4 superior Burgundy
wine.
This may be as it is, but in practice
the flavor is quite overwhelmed by an
extensive admixture of chopped garlic.
