BraIn-FOOd Nonsense.

Another red!culus food tad has
been branded by the most compe'
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food Is needed for brain,
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, bat will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, Its nutri-
ment Is destroyed by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
comming by taking regular doses OF

CoalIess Switzerla n d .

With population of 100000 Swift
zerland is without any coal supply of
her own. None of her rivers is navi'
gable, and all her coal imports have
to be brought in by rail, which makes
it very expensive. Her coal bill Is
about S12,500000 year.
In order to make her outlay for fue
as economical as possible the govern
ment has decided to establish federal
testing station, attached to the leading
institution for technical instruction al
Zurich. At this station every KIND OF
fuel used in the little republic is to bG
scientifically tested to determine It's
exact heat producing value. which
will be made known to the public
through periodical publications by the
government. 1t Is intended to reform
the whole coal trade by substituting
heat producing value for weight as the
basis of its price per ton.
Our consul at Zurich, in reporting
this scheme, states that its originator
is an American, DR.. Z. j. COnstam
from New York. at present professor
of chemistry in the Swiss Fedora
Polytechnic.

The Primitive Clock.

A naturalist, while visiting Great San
cir. one of those islands Of the Indian
ocean known as the Celebes or Spice
islands. found a curious time recorder
lodged at the house Of Il rajah. NV"
bottles were firmly dashed together ana
fixed in a wooden frame. A quantity
Of black sand ran from one bottle into
the other in lust half an hour. ami
when the upper bottle was empty the
frame was reversed. Twelve short
sticks. marked with nOtches from on
to twelve. were hung upon a string. y
hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number Of notches CORE"

the one to be struck next. The sentry
announced the time by striking thu
hours on a large gong.

A Decided Change

There has been a decided change
within recent years In the methods
of the reform organic atoms of the
country. We can all remember
how, bat a few years ago, the
leaders of the revival meetings
concentrated their efforts on the
saving of the town loater, a
genial bum who was usually sus-
ceptible and lent himself as fear
full and willing sacrifice to the
cause, became converted, had
the women cry over him, feed
him, and supply him with
good clothes, In the meantime
rejoicing greatly over the fact that
the vilest sinner had returned.
This usually lasted until the revival
meetings had ended and the I'm.
portant preacher had gone away.
Then the village pest became a
backslider and rioted In sin until
the next revival time. While the
interesting performance was having
Its annual presentation, the
boys of the town were playing
hockey, shooting craps, and smok-
Ing cigaretts In the back alleys.
Now all that Is changed The old
chronic soaks and loafers are allow
ed to 90 into the discard,a 1t were,
and efforts are to be centered upon
the reformation and salvation o!
the boys.

PRIMITIVE TREES.
They Bear the Kind of Apples That
Adam Used to Eat.

One of the most curious apple or
chards in the world is undoubtedly
that at the Arnold arboretum. Harvard
university's great tree museum near
Boston 1t bears only primitive apples
the living representatives, OF the an
cestors of the ordinary round. red ap-
ple with which every American Is
familiar, and there are some forty or
more different varieties of these. lh"E
grow OH shrubs and small trees th..t
belong very far back in the paSt-S"
far that some one of them is undoubt'
edly very like the tree whose frui;
brought diScord into the garden %
Eden.
These primitive trees. most OF which
came originally from various coun-
tries of the old world. are grown ut
the arbOretum for purposes OF seen
tific study. They have. however. :;
very practical place in modern arGorl-
culture, a good example being the us"
that has been made lately Of specimens
from the collection by the Canadian
agricultural experiment stations at OF
tawa and ut Indian Head, far up i'll
the Northwest Territories, where the
necessity for apple trees hardy enough
to withstand the rigOrs of long. sever"
winters has become very apparent.
The ordinary varieties developed in
England. France and the United States
are hopeless for such purposes. but
fortunately the Siberian apples. with
their juicy little yellow and red fruit.
which in many cases grow no bigger
than small BURBERRY, give every
promise of doing much better. and in
these the arboretum is particularly
rich.
The real Importance Of these litti"
Siberian apples as factor in the fruit
growing industry lies in their uses for
grating. A farmer in the northwest
or even Alaska, which is known to
have agricultural possibilities. can set
them out, wait until they are of gootl
size and then upon the original stock
graft almost any variety of fairly
hardy apple with reasonable assur'
ance of Il good crop Of the larger more
delicate fruit.

MARCHED INTO THE BAY.
fhe Trick a Company of Naval Cadets
Played on Their Captain.


Commodore H. H. Lockwood was
a gallant officer and a mathemati-
clan of high rank, but what served
chiefly to distinguish him among
Uncle Sans fighting men was his
stammering habit, and stories still
are told in army and navy circles
of the difficulties that this led him
into. He had an unusual career. A
graduate of West Point, he resigned
from the army to take a professor
ship in mathematics at the Naval
academy. Then, at the outbreak of
the civil war, he resigned from the
navy to 90 back to the army, even
tually attaining the rank of briga-
der general. The war over, he
again resigned from the army and
resumed his professorship at An
napolis. 1t was soon after his re-
turn to the Naval academy that an
incident happened which forms the
basis of one of the best stories told
about him.
Lockwood, who then held the
rank of captain in the naval service,
was out drilling some cadets one day
on the Naval academy grounds, and
in the course of the evolutions he
had a company of 100 embryo Off
GERS heading for the sea wall. The
captain, who stood behind the COM
pany, intended to have the boys ap-
proach to within about six feet OF
the water and then to be given the
order to fright wheel"
At the critical moment, however,
he found to his horror that his
tongue had become tied. I. In vain
he struggled to give the command.
Nearer and nearer the company APP
preached the sea wall, but for all
the captains gagging and choking
not word could he utter. The ca
diets now we're within a few PAGES
of the water, and upon their faces
was look that plainly said, "Ours
not to reason why; ours but to swim
or die"
The captains face became pur-
pie. The knowledge that only a
short distance away a group of his
brother officers was watching the
proceedings did not tend to soothe
his agitation. In his desperation
he threw his dignity to the winds
and ran after the company of young
heroes, crying, observation-disclosures
ah-halt"
1t was too late. The gallant band
had reached the edge Of the sea
wall, and overheard it plunged
without seconds hesitation.
The water was only about three
feet deep at the loot Of the wall,
and in this the company stood at
attention, with ranks mbroken, 1t
having at lat heard the command
to halt. \ great shout Of laughter
went up from !he officers that had
been looking on. but the captain
he stood or tie sea wall and. shak-
ing his list AT the wave washed
band, INDUCED in a flow Of language
which proved that at times he could
talk Just as fast as any other man.
There was Justification for the cap
tain's anger at his men, for they
were all acquainted with his infrm
ity and undoubtedly plunged over
board in a spirit of deviltry.-Chi-

The Decline of Pie.

A writer in the current Harpcr's
Weekly ,aments the passing OF the
American pie habit as it fourished a
generation ago. Americans. he thinks.
eat other foods than pie now. Patent
breakfast foods compete audaciously
with pie for the supremacy of the
breakfast table. Pie does not adver-
tise, and a food that does not adver
tise cannot expect to maintain its tyr
amy over the digestive apparatus of
n nation of readers. Pie is no longer
the champion of the food list. But
what seems especially remarkable
about it is the lack Of individuality
about the pie of commerce. The lunch
room keeper recognizes only two kinds
of pie-good pie and spoiled pie. Con-
sumers must be equally undiscrimina-
ting. In the age when pie was king
it was not so. Then there were piys
and pies"

On Lincoln's lips the words that

and talked with him, especially during
the Civil War, it seemed as if he could
never cease thinking of those who
were just human beings, unlettered. un-
known. inglorious. A congressman
from western district approached
him during his term as President and
apologized for presenting petition
from his constituents because they
were very common people.
