WAIT FOR AN APPETITE.


Do Not Eat Meal Unless You Are
Really Hungry.
1t Is not wise to eat unless there ls n
real, natural hunger. 1t is far better to
miss meal than to eat without an ap-
petite.
A prolific cause of chronic indiges-
ton Is eating from habit and simply
because It Is mealtime. To eat when
not hungry is to cut without relish, and
food taken without relish Is worse than
wasted. Without relish the salivary
glands do not act, the gastric fluids are
not freely secreted and the best Of
foods will not be digested. Many per-
fectly harmless dishes are severely
condemned for no other reason than
they were eaten without relish and due
Installation.
Hunger makes the plainest food en-
joyable. 1t causes vigorous secretion
and outpouring of all the digestive
fiuids-the sources Of phyalin, pepsin,
tryspin, ctc.-without plentiful sup
ply Of which no foods can be perfectly
digested.
Wait for an appetite IL it takes q
week. Fasting is one Of the saving
graces. 1t has spiritual significance
only through its great physical and
physiologlc Importance. If breakfast is
bore or lunch II matter of Indifference
cut one or both of them out. Wait for
distinct and unmistakasfsaee- hunger and
then eat slowly. II you do this you
need ask few questions as to the pro-
priety and digestibility of what you
cat. md it need not be predigested.-

SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
The Way Long Tonxucd Bees saved
AuHtralinn Clover.

The Way Long TOngucd Bees Saved
Australian Clover.
A clerk in the department of agrlcul-
ture said:
$50 you think that scientific farming
is n bluff? You demand some illustra-
tons Of the good that is accomplished
by the scientific method? Very well.
When clover was first introduced
into Australia 1t grew there beautiful
ly, but it never seeded. The soil was
all right. The climate was oil right.
What, then, was the trouble?
"A scientist studied the matter, and
this Is what he found:
He found that the native Australian
bees had tongues too short to reach
the clovcr's pollen forming organs.
These organs In red clover are hidden
deeply in the heart of the tubelike
petals and they can only be fortified
by the long tongued bumblebee. If
red clover is not visited by humble
bees, who bear the golden pollen
grains from one blossom to another, 1t
never seeds-it cannot be grown. The
scientist, aware of the fact, soon put
his finger on the barren Australian clo-
ver's trouble. He imported lot Of
long tongued bumblebees. These bees
flourished. and Immediately Australian
clover, which had promised to be a
failure, became one Of the country's
richest and finest crops" = Chicago

FLESH EATING BIRDS.


They Find Their Prey by sight, Net
By Sense of Smell.
A study Of the habits of flesh eating
birds shows that If they possess the
sense of smell ut all 1t is not sufil-
GENTLY acute to enable them to use it
in finding food.
All observers are agreed that when
a carcass is hidden by never SO slight
screen 1t is safe from the attacks of
vulturcs and other carrion seekers,
but the most remarkable proof of the
fneffectiveness of the sense df 1t exist
at ALL is afforded by experiences which
DR.. Guillemard was good enough to re-
late to me- Many times 1t has hap
pened, he tells me, that, having shot a
wild beast or other game, which was
too heavy to carry home, he has dis
emboweled 1t and hidden the carcass In
the hole Of an "ant bear"
On returning with natives to carry It
to camp he has found q circle of vul-
lures standing round the spot where
the offal had been thrown, completely
unaware of the carcass within few
yards Of their beaks. OF observations
proving the possession Of the sense I
know none unless we are willing to
accept Us evidence the belief which Is
very general among fanciers that birds
are attached to the smell Of anise and
the similar belief of gamekeepers In
some parts Of the country that they
are attracted by valerian. 1t is said
that pigeons may be prevented from
deserving the dovecot by smearlng
their boxes with oil OF anisc Poach-
ers are supposed to lure hen pheasants
from a wood by amounting gatcposts
with tincture OF valerian. Nature.

The Demand For Them Appears to
he Almost without Limit.
Although the goldfish occurs In
wild state in Japan. 1t Is probable that
China some 400 years ago furnished
the stock from which the wonderful
varieties of Japanese goldfish have
been bred. 1t Is reported that In feudal
days, even when famine was abroad In
the land and many people We're starv-
ing, the trade in goldfish was flourish
ing.
The demand at present appears to be
without limit, and the output shows
substantial increase each year. Many
thousand people make living by grow
ing goldfish for market, and hundreds
OF peddlers carry the iish through the
streets and along the county roads In
wooden tubs suspended from a shout

The leading goldfish center Is Kori-
yama. near the ancient capital of Nara.
Here are $50 independent breeding es-

is four-fourths?
At first sight 1t seems IN easy Ques-
ton. but put 1t to your arithmetical
friends and you will probably find that
1t will divide them into two parties,
one contending that the answer is ono
fourth and the other as positively at
firming that it is one-third, while both
will be ready to prove the accuracy Of
their respective solutions.
The party Of the first part Ito use n
legal phrase) may argue their point in
this way:
Five shillings is the fourth part of a
pound. If you have Is shillings, or
three-fourths Of pound, and some
body gives you another fourth part you
have a sovereign-ergo, your four
fourths is one-fourth greater than
three-fourths.
But this will not suit the other party
ut all, and they will proceed scornfully
to point out that the argument is oil
wrong, since II you have 10 shillings
and somebody Is generous enough to
add shillings to 1t the donor is on
ly giving you one-third of the amount
you already possess Is times 8 equals
15). therefore your sovereign is only
one-third more than your 10 shillings.
1t is a pretty problem, and expert
accountants have been known to wran-
gle over 1t for hours London Answers.
