Hunger. aInst Feeling.

Civilized human beings do most of
their eating through habit. and il *
Il bad habit. Savages, with whom the
wherewithal to eat comes only as the
result of direct effort. do it better
and manage to get along without ply
sicians. We are cursed by having our
viCtuals too close at hand.
~ prolific cause of chronic indiges-
ton is eating from habit. and simply
because it i meal time and others are
eating" says the Dietetic and Hy-
gienic Gazette. ITO eat when not
hungry il to eat without relish. and
food taken without relish is worse
than wasted. Without relish the sal
wary glands to not act. the gastric
fluids are not freely secreted. and the
best of foods will not be digeSted.
Many perfectly harmless dishes are
severely condemned for no other rea-
son than they were eaten perfuuctor-
lily and without relish and due insal-
ivation.'
The abOrigine who had TO stalk and

none of the modern disorders of the
stomach. No doubt he went hungry
may a time. but to be hungry is far
better than to he food drunk'-a
term invented by Edison. and fifty to

That good old feeling called hunger
is in a fair way To fade into mere ira

cannot say that he has really felt that
feeling once in a dozen years.

mand of the system for food most Of

The Horse In Action.

Did you ever think, says a horse
man. how fast n horse in Il 2:20 gait
moves his feet? When horse is trOt-
ting a,2:20 gait his feet move a little
faster than mile in ITO. AS his
body is moving at 2:2O, and as each of
his feet when in contact with the
ground is stationary and then is picked
up and moved forward to take the next
step, the foot must move as much fast
er than the body as to make the step.
which Is over twice as fast. Now, the
action is: The foot is at rest upon the
ground and is raised some one or two
feet high, then forced forward nearly
the full length of the leg, then lowered
to the ground and is at rest for nearly
twothirds of the time that the next
step is being taken. The time, nearly
two-thirds, 1 think, is too long, but it
is from one-half to twO-thirds of tie
next step.-Amerlcan CultlvatOr.

The greater part of the desert of Sa-
hara is from 5000 to 5000 feet above
the level of the ocean. The desert is
not rainless, but showers cover it with
grass for Il few weeks in the year,
large flocks and herds being mainly
upon its borders, and the GASES are de-
pressions in which water can be col
leCted and stored. 1t was at one time
believed that the whole of the desert
was below the sea level instead of only
a comparatively small part of it.
