ROLL CHEESES IN GAME.
Used by Italians and Taken To Be
Eaten bg Winners.

An American passing Thomas jefferson Park
recently was struck with the actions of a group
of Italians standing in the middle of the park
They were doing something unusual to his eyes
One of them shouted "Gambar which the spec
tator was informed afterward meant "Legsr' or.
in the American vernacular, Down 'front.'" Thu
group scattered little. A disk several inche,
thick, foot or more in diameter and a dirty
shade of yellow in color rolled across the pebN
bled ground from its centre. The heavy dist
ploughed its way for several rods toward a SD
mark 1t fell over its side several feet short
of the mark One of the men marked the spot
at which its journey ended, and the cheese fol
such the disk proved to be, was carried back to
the group second took It up, much as
he would bowling ball, and, shouting "Gamba!'
at griny italian youngster who had tow,
ard the mark which the last roller had attained,
he threw it forward on its edge He beat the
first roller by several inches The others in turn
rolled the cheese, some sending it beyond, some
falling short. The man who had rolled the
cheese nearest to the mark tucked the disk now
somewhat grimy from much trundling over the
ground Of the park, under his arm and walked
away with 1t.
The spectator. much interested, talked with
one of the Italians who could speak English with
some degree Of intelligence, and found that they
had been playing one of several games which
are played with cheeses in Southern Italy. Each
OF them had paid the piper after the fashion in
Italy by contributing to the purchase price OF
the cheese with the understanding that he who
won should have It his reward Eating

The Price of Indoor Life.

Within the past twenty years there
has been steady development of con
fldence in the out-of-door method of
treating pulmonary tuberculosis. The
wonderful success that has attended
the outdoor treatment in all countries,
irrespective of altitude or special eli
matte advantages, has demonstrated
the immense value of the outdoor life
as curative means. This is not sur
prising. since man is naturally an out
ofdoor animal. The indoor life which
most civilized human beings live is
wholly artificial. We pay an enor-
nous price for the luxury of living in
houses. Not only pulmonary tuber.
culosis, but a large number of other
chronic maladies are the natural out
growth of the lowered vital resistance
which results from the conditions i'm
posed by modern civilized life.
We have become too much civilized.
A mild return to savagery is the one
thing needful at the present time. In
cold weather we can not live out OF
doors, but we can take care to supply
our living rooms, and especially our
bedrooms with an abundant supply OF
pure cold air. This is a very excel
lent remedy for morning headaches
which usually mean air-poisoning

The laborer, the traveller and the
soldier use alcohol under the delusion
that It produces strength. When IA
tigued, the laborer takes glass Of
grog, and feels better. He imagines
himself stronger His increased
strength, however, Is wholly a matter
of Imagination.
The use OF alcohol makes a man
feel stronger-makes him believe that
he can do more work, endure more
fatigue and hardship, and Withstand a
greater degree of cold than he could
without IL; but when an actual trial
is made, 1t soon becomes apparent
that the ability is lacking. Numerous
experiments have shown that alcohol
decreases muscular strength. Says
DR.. Brunton, "The smallest quantity
takes somewhat from the strength OF
the muscles" Says DR.. Edmunds, of
London. "A stimulant Is that which
gets strength out Of a man"
Some years ago series OF expert.
ments were made for the purpose of
| determining the influence of alcohol
upon the muscular strength. The
combined strength OF all the different
groups of muscles in the body was
found, in the case of healthy young
man, to be 1881 pounds. The young
man was then given two ounces of
brandy. and the test was repeated.
He felt confident that his strength
was increased. In fact. 1t was found
to be only 1886 pounds, loss Of more
than one-third. notable diminutiou
in strength was still present ten hours
after the administration Of the
brandy.

Gasoline Atlantic Cruiser.

A gasoline Atlantic cruiser is com
ing into existence in London It is Go
feet long and with $40 horse power
develops a speed of 20 miles per hour.
There are three screws, of which The
two outer are actuated by gas engines
OF $50 horse power each and drive
the boat at the maximum speed. The
central screw is operated by an en-.
CINE OF 40 horse power and is used
mainly for cruising at low speeds.
though II may also be used as an aux
uiary to the others when the maxi
mum power is required. This central
screw, also is much used in maneuver-
ing the boat. Accommodations arc
provided for six passengers and a
crew of two men. One provision of
the contract requires that the boat
shall cross the Atlantic under its own
power, which it is expected will be ac-
complished in about seven days. Fuel
accommodation is provided for a ra-
dius of ten days at full speed, or dis
lance of 1880 miles.

Vital Activity in Cold Weather.

The vital fires burn brighter in cold
weather. The whole tide of life
moves with greater activity. The pro-
cess of digestion is quickened because
the process of oxidation is increased.
The liver requires oxygen for max.
ing bile and performing all its varied
functions, and the oxygen we breathe
in cold air, improves the function of
the liver. so it can do one-seventh
more work than before.
The muscles, also, depend for their
activity upon oxygen. In an excess
OF carbonic acid gas the muscles are
asphyxiated, and so one feels de-
pressed in warm weather,
A person does not get out of breath
so easily in cold air as in warm. The
woodchopper can swing his axe with
more energy on a cold day. Cold air
aids in the elimination of the poison.
Gus matters which are all the time
forming within the body.
When oxygen is not plentiful
enough to make the vital fires burn
sufficiently to consume the fuel and
wasre of the body, then much OF the
waste material is left behind in the
form of imperfectly burned sub.
stances. which may be called cinders

Modern Canal Making.

How a canal is made is illustrated
in the excavation near Seattle Of a
canal two miles long, 80 feet deep at
low water, and 90 feet wide at the
bottom, which is to connect tidewater
with a fresh water lake near Seattle.
The work is being done by hydraulic
monitors, the supply for which comes
from a reservoir. The available head
is 200 feet and the quantity used Is
between 100000 and 100000 gal
Ions per twenty-four hours. The con-
duit consists in part of wooden stove
pipe. Is inches and 80 inches in diane
ter With a 6-inch nozzle an average
daily excavation of 1000 cubic yards
lis attained. The material Is glacial
deposit, containing sand, gravel, bould-
ers and several varieties OF clay, some
of which have required shaping up by
light blasting before the water would
penetrate them. The excavated mate
rial is being used to reclaim tract
of land now submerged at high tide,
being conveyed to the site In part by
flume carried on trestles. This fiume
is lined with wooden blocks 10 inches
to II inches thick, set on end and laid
closed jointed. A gradient of to 3S Is
found to suffice, choking being liable
to occur with more easy slopes.
Where the flume ends pipe line has
been employed, the penstock at the up
per end of which is lined with wood
in the same way as the fiume in order
to take the wear. The length Of this
pipe line is 1900 feet.

Appetite Juice.

The taking of food into the mouth
is a signal to all the digestive organs
to prepare for work. Even the sight
and odor Of food may cause an out
flow of saliva, and at the same time
the gastric juice pours into the stom-
ach.
Pawlow, of st. Petersburg, in ex-
periments upon a dog, observed that
when food was introduced into the
animals stomach through an opening
made for the purpose 1t was not acted
upon; the digestive juice was not
poured out, and the stomach appar-
emily remained inert for nearly half
an hour. On the other hand, when the
animal was allowed to see and smell
the food, the saliva and the gastric
Juice poured forth abundantly, even
taste morsel. 1t is important that
the food should be retained in the
mouth for a sufficient length of time
to make the proper impression upon
the nerves of taste, so that the entire
digestive apparatus shall be thorough
ly prepared to carry the food sub
stances through the successive steps
of the digestive process.
The thorough chewing of the food
produces an abundance OF what Paw
low calls Appetite Juice" which is
the best and most important juice
formed by the stomach. Hence food
must be well relished, and eaten with
careful attention to very thorough
mastication.

Real Healing AGENTS.

There are many fictitious remedies.
Some make man feel better when
he is really getting worse. The most
valuable measures which can be en-
ployed in dealing with the sick may
be said TO be baths, exercise and diet.
The chronic invalid can be made well
only by being reconstructed. The
sick man must be transformed into a
healthy man by process of gradual
change. He has been months or years
in tearing down his constitution and
terial. Now this process must be re-
versed. and little by little. the old tbs
sues must be torn down and new It's
sues built in their place.
Warm baths help throw off stored
up poisons, and cold baths hasten the
destruction of waste tissues, increase
the activity of the heart and of all the
organs, encourage the formation OF
the digestive fluids, and increase the
appetite for food.
BY means of exercise the movement
of the blood is quickened and the old
diseased tissues are broken down and
carried out of the body. Exercise al
ways diminishes weight BY exercise
a normal appetite is earned and deep
breathing encouraged.
Pure simple food Is the proper ma
'terial with which to construct a new
and healthy body Man is built of
what he eats. The house is no better
than the material. Thus baths, exer-
else, and natural dietary constitute
