or upper bowel, where they are split
up by the pancreatic ferment and
assisted, some Psychologists claim,
by the bile.
The London Punch, once, in an
swer to the question, els life worth
living" said: "Well, that depends
upon the liver" A very true re-
mark, not only in ethical but also
in a physical sense. To keep the
liver in order nothing is better
than lots of good water and plenty
of fresh, green vegetables. Dan
delions, unfortunately not used
much IN this country, make an ex-
cellent salad, and will do more to
ward off an attack of biliousness
than a bushel of patent so-called
liver pills. Lettuce, radishes,
young onions, are all good, and
should be eaten freely during the
summer months.
Lastly, the body must be rest
full physically. 1t is self-evident
you can neither eat with relish
nor digest what you do eat if you
are too tired; but, on the other
hand, too little exercise renders
the various organs torpid. In this
case as individuals vary, you must
be guided largely by your own
experience. It is safe rule, how
ever, if you feel very tired, to de-
pend more on liquid food, such as
soup, as they are more quickly
and easily taken up by the system
than the soldier varieties.
To conclude, the mind must be
at ease. Set aside your troubles
and cares while you are at dinner,
and above all, take time. If you
eat less in a given time you will
digest more; and as I said before,
if you have trouble weighing on
your mind, try and forget it for
the time being.
A minister, going into his barn
one Saturday, noticed that he was
almost out of hay. So he walked
over to the produce store to order
some, but found to his dismay
that they we're entirely out, as a
farmer whom they expected to
bring in some had, they heard,
broken down somewhere on the
road. But they suggested that
the minister might hitch up and
drive out and see if some arrange
ment could be made to bring in
the hay. He drove out and found
the wagon in the most deplorable
shape, turned completely over on
it's side, and the hay piled in the
road. A young man was frantic
ally endeavoring to straighten up
the wagon, but it seemed to be a
hopeless task. The minister said:
"Come and drive back with me
and we'll get some help and fix
this all right and I'll buy your
hay"
mo, I tank not" said the boy,
"my fader he be awful mad.'
"Oh pooh,'' said the pastor;
''come on" and the boy allowed
himself to be persuaded. As it
was dinner time when they got to
the pastors residence, he told the
boy to come in and have some
dinner and they would start out
afterwards, but the boy hung back.
''My fader he be awful mad"
However, he went in to dinner,
but seemed uneasy, and lacking
in proper appreciation of his food,

like your dinner my boy?"

70 EAT, two things only are
essential; i. e., food and a
digestive apparatus. To
dine, however, these essen
tials must be subdivided and new
ones added; i. e., physical and
mental ease. First, the food must
be seasonable, and suited to the
conditions under which you are
situated, and the nature OF the
labor, either mental or physical,
at which you are engaged. A
couple of cups of strong, black COT
fee at midnight is very good for
the telegraph editor of a city daily,
but would not be desirable for the
manual laborer; nor on the other
hand, would the laborer's dinner of
cold meat, pickles and pie suit the
stomach of ye editor. Second,
the food must be properly cooked
and served with absolute cleanli-
ness, and in as near as possible
the proper order and combination.
Max O'Rell, in summing up his
first impressions of America, said
1t was q land of three hundred
religions and one of gravy, and
in large measure this is true.
How often have we seen an excel
dent slice of spring lamb, whose
very name suggests mint sauce, or
"a beautiful cut of sirloin for which
nothing is better than it's own
Juice, utterly ruined by having
poured over it a diabolical paste of
sfiour and water?

any hard and fast rule to be laid

made for individual tastes and Pc
culiarities.
I once heard an Englishman de-
scrlbing to another the awful do
ings of an American who sat
opposite to him at his hotel. He
wound up by saying: 'And he
put mustard on his mutton" The
other man perfectly awstruck said:
And did he die?' This view is
extreme, of course, but it is better
than to be at the other extreme
and pay no attention to the proper
combining of foods and condi-
ments. AS to the service, it should,
besides being clean in every way,
Fbe devoid of all noisiness and fuss,

A poor wife, driven to desperation
by the acts of her drunken husband,
attempted to commit suicide at her
home in East Wilmington late Tues
day night but was prevented by her
children.
The woman who attempted to cCm.
nit this rash act was Mrs. John fiji

he is under the influence of drink and

acid that was on the mantel but ere
she could empty the fatal contents OF
the bottle between her lips her TWO
oldest children, with horror written
upon their faces, sprang to their moth
er's side, grasped her hand and made
her release the bottle. A second more
and their efforts would have been in
vain for the poor woman, whose cup
was Overrun with sorrow, had the
phial to her lips when her hand was
caught and her life saved.
Mrs. Holland is the mother of s. seen
or eight children, several OF them very
small. The children were greatly ex-
cited after the occurrence and sen. for
a physician but there was really no
need Of it for she swallowed o. Of
the contents from the bottle
1t is said that Mrs. Holland later
during the night ATTEMPTED a secCrd
time to take her life in a similar a

dren. John Holland is said to have
been beastly drunk when his wife first
attempted to end her life, but this
sObered him to some extent.

WAS A LITTLE UNUSUAL
Merchant Used Side Walk on Front
Street as Convenient Place to De-
CaDitate 2 Chicken.

It is we'll known that the streets Of
Wilmington are used for various and
sundry purposes, but the latest use
was an act committed on the streets
by a certain groceryman. This man
may have had no back yard to his lot,
but be that as it may, he walked out
upon the side walk of the most i'm
portant street in Wilmington, wrung q
chickens head off and threw the body
and head upon the sidewalk. Those
who have seen a chicken decapitated
in this manner know that blood is
often scattered in many directions as
the headless body with the last axer-
ton of life flaps around spasmodicailY.
The Front street chicken proved no
exception to the rule and pedestrians
who happened to pass along as the
groceryman was making his prepare
lions for his midday meal were COM
PEELED to get off of the sidewalk or
else become despatched with blood
from the dying chicken. The man who
committed the act had probably come
from the country and thought it NO
more harm to wiring a chickens head
off on the sidewalk than in the middle
of a country road.
