Judge Peck of Missouri, and one of his

a famous episode in the history Of the

Abstemiousness In diet Is very con-
duciye TO good digestion. 1t is prefer
able to be little underfed than at all
overfed. Hence we come TO one of the
first causes of Indigestion In the adult
too large quantity of food. After al
ordinary meal the food should all have
left the stomach by the end of six or
seven hours If owing to an excessive
quantity the stomach cannot deal with
the amount some food remains in the
stomach and ferments. This creates
discomfort, pain, wind, nausea and
perhaps vomiting, by means of which
the abused stomach gets rid of its bur
den. If the sufferer is not thus fortu
nately sick the best thing he can do Is
to drink large tumbler of lukewarm
water. which will probably induce vom-
iting and so wash out the stomach.
Half teaspoonful of bicarbonate Of
soda added to the fluid will cause still
more relief. During the next twenty
four hours the lghtest diet, such as a
little tea and dried toast, some boiled
rice, a little arrowroot or corn -four
should be taken.

The most curious almshOuse in Eng
land is St Marys hospital at Chches
ter. There eight old ladies' live actually
in the church, which is fine Old build
ing dating from 1850. 1t was originally
a monastery, but when Queen Eliza
beth came to visit there she turned ii
into an almshouse to endure as long as
almshouses exist. The old ladies have
two neat little rooms each down the
sides of the main church, with win
dows looking out on the garden. They
have each coal supply, a kitchen
range, water and gas. At one end OF
the church is the chapel. where daily
services are held. The choir stalls are
beautifully carved old oak, the original
seats that the monks used. The church
stands in a quiet little square.

Winding Your Mntch.

The old supcrstitious belief that you
will change your luck if you stop wind
ing your watch at night and wind it in
the morning may have some slight ba-
sis in fact, according to jeweler who
says that the morning is the proper
time to do the winding. This is not
only because the hour of rising is for
the average man much more regular
than that for retiring, but even the SO
berest and most orderly of men are apt
to relax and prone to carelessness AT
bedtime, when more or less worn by
the wear and tear of the day. In this
condition the winding is apt to be done
in jerky, irregular sort of way or too
far or not far enough. Mine people
out of ten wind their watches on going
to bed said the jeweler, but if they
would do it when they get up, at some
regular point in the process of making
their toilet, they would do it much bet
ter. "-ThiIadelph Record.

afford no refuge for mice, certainly a

1t is Il positive fact that if you feed

there is Il lot of frozen grass she will

full as she can get, but will give less
