DON'T BOLT YOUR FOOD.
There Is Pleasure as Well as Health

There Is Pleasure as Well as Health
In Deliberate Eating.
Fast eating is sure to be injurious,
because to properly prepare the food
for digestion it must be thoroughly
masticated
Rapid eating is still worse when it is
caused by the hurry of business or by
anxiety or nervous irritability or by
the common habit of "bolting' the food
Such eating is sure to produce indiges-
ton or dyspepsia.
The teeth, as we'll as the stomach.
are made for labor, and neither can
have their proper work to do If only
paps and broths and buildings and
hashes and other soft and artificially
prepared foods are crowded into the
stomach as though the cook in the
kitchen could mastlcate and digest the
food better than the natural grinders
and the chemical action and assimilat-
ing power of the stomach.
Those people who shovel great vulgar
mouthfuls of food into their mouths
and bolt it down as though they had
but ten minutes for a meal are gor-
handlers instead of polite people.
They know little Of the pleasure OF
deliberate eating or the luxury of sat
isfying hunger. and certainly they are
laying the foundation of disease.
Dry. hard food, vigorously chewed
stimulates the flow of saliva, strength
ems the teeth and keeps them healthy
and invigorates the digestion.

crafty their instinct for neatness to the
utmost. nature has provided them with
set of marvelously delicate combs
and brushes. If we look closely at the
wasp's legs we will find that each bears
on its outermost long joint two small,
movable spines. known as the APPEAL
spurs, and II we examine these with a
magnifying glass each is seen to be
provided With row of fine teeth, so
that the apparatus answers for coarse
and fine toOthed comb.
THE tidying up process consists Of
various perfectly definite steps, usually
taking place in particular sequence.
First, it passes both front legs over the
face from above downward, and after
repeating this movement several times
draws them through the jaws. This is
to remove any foreign substance which
may have collected on them. The legs
are then passed backward from the
forehead, much as we should smooth
back our hair. The wings are then
stroked again and again from the base
to the tip, although the most careful OBJ
server would fail TO detect anything
upon them. The abdomen is next care
fully stroked from base to tip until
every hair points In the right direction
and a gloss as fine as satin is attained.
Last of all, each of the six legs, in turn,
is Iaboriously drawn betweenAwo of its
fellows. so the wasp is once more ready
to face its world"

He made little jokes with the doctors

he seemed tired. The editor of his

Tiger HUNTING.

tating a Monkey

LurinE the Fierce Animals by Imf.
tatinE Monkey.
To call tiger the proceeding was as
follows: The miklr, having first ascer-
tained that a tiger was in the neighbor-
hood, would climb into a well branch
ed, leafy tree situated near where he
supposed the tiger to be, and after hid
ing himself among the branches as best
he could would commence to initiate
and drop twigs in the way that mon
keys do.
Then he would let fall to the ground
a bundle of rags weighted so that the
thud when it struck the ground would
sound as If baby monkey had tum-
bled down from the tree, and at the
same time would initiate the supposed
baby monkey cries. This would be the
supreme moment, for If tiger were
near 1t would often spring out in the
hope of swapping up such a dainty
morsel as young monkey, and then a
bullet from the gun Of the hidden mikir
might find its billet in the tigers body.
By this means the mikir was said to
have killed considerable number of
tigers. and certainly the mans power
of mimicry was wonderfully good.
The call for deer was of an entirely
different nature the sound initiated be-
ing the cry of a fawn, and as this cry
sometimes attracted tigers. too, it had
to be adopted with caution, because II
was used only in open grass land. from
much chance to escape were tiger
suddenly to put in an appearance

STYLES TN COATS.


UTtgfn OF the CufaWay FrOck, the
Sack and the Dress Coat.
The modern cutaway sprang from
the body fitting justaucorps OF the
French. as known to the couitiers of
Louis XIV. and Louis Nv, and the gar
ment was In turn probably evolved
from the frock or tunie worn in the
fourteenth century.
The first trace Of a cutaway in any
thing like its present form, says the
Sartorlal Art Journal, Is seen in old
prints of French military uniforms,
early In the eighteenth century For
civilian use 1t was worn in England
about 1885 as a riding coat, the tails
being very long. In 1893 1t was Adopt

much nearer the modern cutaway than
any of its predecessors though it was
usually double breasted.

cutaway had eight or nine buttons.

did the cutaway become almost identi-
cal with the modern garment and since
then the changes in its shape have
been comparatively slight In 1s41 the
word 'cutaway" became a fixture In
the language.
The old colonial uniform worn by
Washington, with Its flaps buttoned
back; the coat worn by Nelson at the
battles Of ST. Vincent, the Nile and
Trafalgar, and the coat worn by Napo-
leon when on his way to st. Helena
were all In general way similar to
the cutaway frock

year 1850.
