But Won't Do for Steady Diet.

From, the New York Tribune.
How are children so often able without
injury to swallow such sharp things as
pins, needles. tacks and bits of glass? The
secret, as disclosed by DR.. Albert Exner
Of Vienna lies in the fact that, when a
pointed OF sharp-edged body comes into
contact with the lining Of the stomach or
intestine, the part touched contracts and
Fuckers SO as to thicken itself In that
place. At the same time 1t withdraws 1T
self in such a manner as to form little
pocket, and gradually twists the object
around so as to turn the edge or point
away, pushing the thing along.

English live in the United States The in

Spanish and German were far ahead of
English in the number Of persons who used

Only Wines From Spain.
From Southern Republics.

Another debutante is Cuba. The little
new republic has done exceedingly well and
has brought enough exhibits to illustrate
it's resources and industries in a striking
manner. And several of the Latin-Ameri-
can countries, particularly Mexico, Peru
and the Argentine Republic, have excellent
exhibits, which illustrate their progress in
industry and science, and the development
of their great natural resources.
Among our state commissions there has
been commendable rivalry in installation,
and the consequences are apparent in every
building Never before was so much money
expended or so much taste displayed in
that direction. New York and Massachu-
sets have perhaps the best. but it is diff
cult to detect any superiority among the
others.
