TOO RAPID EATING.
It Is One Of thu Most Fruitful Cauaes
of iii Health.


One of the most fruitful causes of iii
health and bad compilations is the habit
II rapid eating. 1t is growing more
and more prevalent in this country.
We really haven't time to eat properly.
and we have very little time to sleep.
yet we hope to retain youth and beau
ty.
A woman may work ever so hard and
be under a great tension while work
ing, but if she will take time enough
to eat Ia half hour at the least, with 4
half hour est at noon, and will sleep
seven or eight hours of the twenty
four she will greatly increase her use
fulness.
With the habit of rapid eating comes
an increase in the amount of liquids
taken during the meals. Food properly
masticated can be easily swallowed.
but if i'll chewed it must be washed
down with liquid. This, of course, less
ems the flow of saliva, dilutes the gas
trio juices and interferes greatly with
the process Of digestion.
Those who have tried thorough mas
t~ication of their food with no liquid,
Unless at the end or d half hour after
the meal, have learned that the food
tastes better, the meal Is more salts
factory and the appetite is appeased
with less food, the digestion is aided,
leaving one much more comfortable
than the hasty meal, A few days
trial will convince the most skeptical,
for the stomach responds promptly to
decent treatment. 1t expects 1t. 1t
deserves it.
One of the greatest mistakes of the
age is rapid eating, and one Of the
greatest curses is the nervous dyspep-
STA caused by it.

BURIED BANK BILLS.
They Had Almost Crumbled to Dust,
but Were Redeemed.


The money counters in the United
States treasury were startled one day
says Theodore Waters in the November
Everybody's, by the appearance of a
remarkable looking fat man who en-
tered the department and told a strange
tale. He said he was an Ohio farmer
and did not believe in banks, and so
had buried his money in the ground
for safe keeping. He had dug it uD
and was hOrrified TO find that it was
slowly turning to dust. al notes will
when long buried.
Panic stricken, he gathered the dis
i~ntegrated money into an old pillow
case, bound it around his waist beneath
his clothes and started for Washington.
He Travelled part Of the way On horse
back, part of the way on an Ohio river
steamboat and part of the way by
train. During the journey he never
once took off the pillowcase. He even
slept with it on. The officials Of the
treasury department found it difficult
to make him part with it.
He did not want to SO with a clerk
to A hotel for fear the clerk might rob
him, but as it was manifestly impos-
sible for him to disrobe in the office he
had finally to submit. They got the
money at last. and the condition of it
vas SO bad that the treasury expert
had to be called to decipher it. So
great was her skill that the farmer
lost only q few hundred dollars out Of
SIS, 1000.

THE 81" AND THE a."
why They are Dotted and How the
Practice Originated.


The dot over the "i'' originated in an
accent which was put over the letter
when doubled or placed next a ''u," a
practice traced back to the eleventh
century. In the twelfth century the
accent occurs in the combination of
'f' with other letters. and in the four
teenth century the accent was changed
to a dot-first instance in MSS. 1927
which became universal when printing
made it ~tnconvenient to retain both
forms.
Originally "f" and "j' were modified
forms of the same letter. In the if
teenth century the 81" at the beginning
of a word was heightened and Orna-
mentally turned to the left, while in
the middle Of a word it was unaltered.
Both forms were dotted, and after the
initial "f' became 81" a separate let
ter and a consonant, it still retained
its dot. This is limited usually to the
small 'j." but abroad it may be seen
also over the capital etter.-London
Telegraph.

To extract the essence from any
flower place a layer of the flowers in
a clean earthen pot and over them a
layer of fine salt. Repeat the process
until the pot is filled, cover closely

afterward strain the essence from the

Put the essence thus expressed in a

A MIGHTY
John Ross Was Strong Of Arm and
Il Good Fisher.

John Ross Was Strong OF Arm and
u Good Fisher.
John Ross was a Scotch minister
who lourished in the early part of the
seventeenth century. Tales of his won
derful deeds are told to this day in his
former parish of Blair. At n time
the reverend gentleman walked to
Mause, a distance of about three miles,
for the purpose Of seeing a certain
farmer and if possible inducing him to
come to church, where he had never
been. He found him fishing in the riy-
er and asked to be allowed to have a
cast. 81 never lend my rod to any
body" said the farmer. But" replied
the minister, Il have come all the way
expressly to see you, and l must have
a cast" The farmer, who was a yer
strong man and had never been beaten
in a fist fight, offered to fight for it.
"All right" said the minister, and he
gave the farmer such a mauling that
he was glad to give up his rod. But it
was a different kind of fishing that the
minister has come for. He asked the
farmer to keep the rod and conduct
him to his house at Mause. When they
arrived the minister said, Nov, you
go on your knees and pray" telling
him that he would not leave till he did
so.
So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried, "Oh, Lord, deliver me from this
man." stop" said the minister. THAT
is very good. l hope you may always
be able to do as we'll. Now. you hav'
to promise to come to the kirk next
Sunday This the farmer did. Not
long afterward he became a leading
elder.
