Senator Dawes as a sotanist.

John A. Harris used to relate the
following incident, which happened
in his home town of Plainfeld, Mass.
In 1886 the late Senator Henry l..
Dawes, while driving near the town
of Plainfeld, not far from Cumming
ton, his native town, lost his way and
secured the services of William Reid,
a supplemented youth, to direct him
the right way.
Mr.. Dawes took the boy in his car
riage, and as they were passing an
extensive pasture, the senator re-
marked that was "a fine lot of spear
grass.
That's Herds grass" remarked the
boy.
Vainly the senator tried to explain
that the boy was wrong, and finally
made bet of so TO a cent that he
(Mr Dawes was right, and referred
the matter to Andrew f. Wells, an
old farmer who knew Mr.. Dawes by
sight

the referee who decided the bet in the
boys favor; why, that is Herd s
grass, for it belongs TO Tom Herd. -
So Mr.. Dawes admitted that the joke
was on him.

lcthina Falls to the Bottom.

1t is an interesting scientific fact,
and one not generally known, that
nothing which falls into the mouth of
the deepest mining shaft in the world
ever reaches the bottom. This has
been demonstrated at the famous Red
Jacket shaft of the big Calumet &
Hecla copper mine at Calumet. The
article, no matter what shape or size
it may be, is invariably found cling
ing TO the east side of the shaft.
One day a monkey wrench was
dropped, but 1t did not get to the bot
tom. 1t was found lodged against the
east side of the shaft several hundred
feet down. This incident, coming to
the attention of the Michigan College
of Mines. 1t was decided TO make a
careful test of the apparent phenome-
non. Ii was decided best to use a
small but heavy spherical body, and a
marble, tied 10 a thread, was suspend
ed about II feet below the mouth of
the shaft. When the marble was alb
solutely still, assuring that II would
drop straight down, the thread was
burned through by the flame of a
candle. The marble fell, but at a
point about 500 feet from the surface
brought up against the east wall Of
the shaft.
The same would be the case were n
man to fall into the shaft. While il
would mean sure death. the body, bad
ly torn. would be found lodged in the
timbering on the east side.
Members of the faculty of the Col
lege of Mines are now engaged in eX-
periments with a view of developing
data as to the thickness of the earth's
crust. 1t is not hoped 10 solve the per-
picking problem of the distribution of
the earth's matter, but 1t is hoped to
add 10 the information collected con-
corning it. To this end the Red Jack
ct shaft presents advantages possessed
by no other place in the universe. The
deep shafts in other parts of the coun-
try, and in foreign lands, generally be-
gin at an altitude and end above or but
very little below the sea level. where
as at the Calumet mine the Red Jack
ct shaft starts in at comparatively
low altitude and pierces the earth's
crust deeper and further below the
ocean level than any other in exist
ence. 1t is hoped within a year to be
able to give some intelligent informa-
tion regarding the Investigations.

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A JUDGES Opinion Of erape.Nuts.

- OdoSS . SPltilOi W
A gentleman who has acquired a
judicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunflower
State, writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
Fer the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
bic necessity in my family's everyday
life.
1T has proved TO be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
GrapeNuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect

disease it is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face

PROBLEM in DIETING
EVIL IN TOO GREAT VARIETY AT
MEALS.
Human Stomach Not Adapted to the
Digestion Of an Excessive Number
Of Different Kinds of Food stuffs-
Simplicity to Be Preferred.

While variety is necessary TO pro-
mote appetite and good digestion, the
stomach may be easily overworked by
an excessive number of different
kinds of food stuffs taken at a single
meal. Animals which are adapted to
complicated and varied food stuffs,
like the sheep, the goat and the COW,
which, in the course of the mornings
grazing, may swallow a hundred or
more different kinds of herbs, have
complicated stomachs. The same is
true OF predatory fishes. which are
often provided with more than half a
dozen different stomachs for the per-
Torrance of their complicated diges-
tive work. A whale has seven stom-
achs. Man, with a single stomach,
often sits down TO q feast at which
the whole world OF appetites and
stomachs might find ample satisfac-
ton and occupation. For example,
taking an ordinary bill of fare for
illustration, we find dishes sufficient
in variety 10 occupy the seven-stom-
ach power of the whales digestion
There are meats of various sorts for
the meat-digesting stomach of the
dog; there are nuts and fruits for the
fruit and nut digesting stomach OF
the monkey; grass and herbs for the
four stomachs of the COW and the
goat-variety enough TO tax the di-
gestive power Of thirteen stomachs
Yet man sits down TO such a task
with his one small stomach, expecting
to enjoy himself Whatever pleasure
he may elicit by the long procession
OF viands as they slip by his palate on
the way to his stomach, is certain to
be more than offset by the after pains
of Indigestion, when this unseemly
conglomeration gathered from the
bills of fare of all the beasts of crea
ton, becomes, a few hours later a
seething. fermenting, putrescent mass
swarming with myriad germs, emit
ting disgusting doors. and generating
poisons of various properties and po
tencies. There is only one animal or
the face OF the earth capable Of di
costing such a dinner, and that is the
woodchuck, which according to Prof
Draper, has fourteen stomachs.
Simplicity is the cornerstone OF
good digestion. The normal appetite
is easily satisfied with a small mum
Der of foods simply and whOlesomely
prepared. Variety is proper enough
but the number of kinds taken at g
single meal should be limited to three
or four If the bill of fare is confined
to nuts, fruits and cereals, this ques
ton becomes less important, for the
reason that all fruits agree. Cereals
are practically identical in their rela
ton TO digestion. and nuts are like
wise practically uniform in their rela
ton to digestion and nutrition; but
when vegetables are added, sub
stances which are very different in
character. and requiring very differ
ent digestive action, are introduced

cised to avoid harmful results from
