WHY TOAST IS D1GEsT1BLE.

Chemical Changes Make it Palatable
 and Increase Salivary Seeretiofis.
 It is the opinion of physicians gen. erally, and they seem to have inbued
 the general public with like notion,
 that toasted bread is much more easily
 digested than that cut fresh from the loaf. Some are inclined to be skeptical in the matter, however. The doctor, if
 asked, will probably state that the in creased digestibility is due both to a
 physical and chemical change produced by the toasting process, which results in a transformation of the carbohy- drates into more readily soluble forms. A writer in government report on the subject gives the results of a sries of
 analyses showing the changes that he found in bread produced by toasting at different temperatures. For instance, bread heated for one hour at two hun irad and twelve degres Fahrenheit lost about thirty-four per cent. in r weight
 and contained twelve per cent. of ma terial soluble in water. Light-colored, yellow toast, made at about three hun dred degrees Fahrenheit was practical | ly of the same composition. Brown toast, made at three. hundred and thir- ty-eight degrees Fahrenheit had one
 per cent, less moisture, but the soluble
 contents increased to twenty-six per
 cent, while dark brown toast, made at a slightly higher temperature, had a slightly less soluble content, and brown

toast, made by the usual household method-that is, at about three hun dred and twenty degrees Fahrenheit contained only twenty-two per cent. oi soluble material.
 The doctors contention is, therefore confirmed to certain extent by the re- suits of these experiments, but it is probable, according to the conclusions of the author, that the increased dfges- tibility of toast is to be accounted foi rather on the supposition that its agreeable flavor stimulates the diges. tive secretions and possibly it's physi- cal condition insures better mastication The increase in the solubility of the car. bohydrates is not relatively great wher made by the ordinary household meth cd, since this only affects the outside that is, penetrating to a very snal fraction of an inch.

THE FRIARs IN MANILA.

The friars we8sees in the streets and in the monasteries as we visit them are not at all bad looking, One gains the idea from reading the published accounts of their character and habits that they are filthy, gross, sensuous, |gluttonous creatures, but I have seen very few of that description. occa- sionally you meet one who looks as if he fingered longer than necessary over the platter and the bottle, but most of them are fine looking men with intellectual faces, and they are neatly clad in cassocks of their orders. Most Of them wear white on account os the heat and white straw hats in stead os the black shovel hats worn by the European monks. The Francis cans go bareheaded but carry umbrel- las to protect themselves from the sun,
 The monasteries from which they emerge in the cool of the afternoon are nonstrous buildings. Some of them cover several acres of ground and sur round large courts with trees, flowers and gardens. About one-fourth of the entire area of the Walled City is occu- pied by monastic establishments. Each | has church connected with 1t, and the parish work in Manila is divided lamong the regular clergy, as the friers
 are called. There are very few secular or ordinary priests. But nearly all the
 monasterEies are now practically emp, | ty. There are only few monks Jeff lin Manila and most of the property is offered for sale. The Augustinians wht
