CALLED ELIXIR OF LIFE.
Men Of Emlnence Testify to the
Worth Of Buttermilk.

Men Of Emlnence Testify to the
Worth Of Buttermilk.
Assuming that you have forsworn
alcohol, and have found nothing to re.
place the glass OF beer, try buttermilk.
In good condition, at its sourest. 1t Is
a genuinely refreshing, sharp drink
acid, but not thin like lemonade-nour'
ishing. but not insipid like milk. II
is a harmless substitute for intoTi'
cants, a remedy for tuberculosis, and
all pulmonary complaints, and bene'
fetal to the digestion.
Russian Koumiss. nearly the same
thing, Is sour mares milk. and 1t Is
well known that the tribes who drink
1t are immune from consumption. Kou'
miss has consequently been largely
used as cure for that disease. The
famous Russian Count Tolstoy. who
was at one time afflicted with tuber
culosis. attributes his cure largely to
the drinking of koumiss in abundance
while living in tent on the Russian
steppes.
A famous English physician. Sill
Lauder Brunton, says of buttermilk
that 1t "quenches the thirst, supplies
food, and also contains a ferment
which. If absorbed, may be useful in
aiding the conversion OF sugar into
Tactic acid within the body. ! am IN.
clined to attribute the benefits occa'
siorally derived from the use OF
skinned milk to its possessing SINH
lar properties to buttermilk. But ]
consider the latter superior. When II
is allowed to become very sour, and
all its milk sugar has been converted
into Tactic acid. 1t would probably be
still better"
According to Professor Metchnikoff,
sour milk or buttermilk is a sort OF
elixir of life. in that 1t is a remedy
for "the slow intoxications that weak
en- the resistance OF the higher ele'
ments af the body"
Buttermilk is very easy OF digestion
and assimilation. In diabetes, where
milk is more or less Objectionable,
buttermilk can be safely given with
advantage. 1t is also given as
refrigerant.

LIGHTING LORE.
AcETYLENE ExcELS AS AN ILLU.
MiNAN1.

Gas For Lighting Formerly Confined to
Cities and Large Towns, Now in Gem
oral Use in the Country
The satisfactory lighting Of suburban
and country homes requires that the
means used shall be convenient safe.
economical and furnish brilliant. pen-
etrating. effulgent light.
Everybody admits that these are not
the characteristics Of the candle or
kerosene lamp, which. formerly, were
the only feasible means Of producing
light for domestic use in the rural dis
tricts.
For generations there was a crying
need, yearning for something better.
which was not satisfied. A few years
ago dellverance came In the shape OF
the chemical compound. Calcium Car
bide, from which, by the simple appli'
cation Of water. the gas Acetylene is
derived. Acetylene meets all the re-
quirements fully and admirably and Is
being generally used.
Common lime and carbon In the form
OF coke or coal are the raw materials
which, fused in an intensely heated
furnace, make Calcium Carbide. and
there is no difficulty In obtaining 1t in
any part Of the country.
The machine into which the Calcium
Carbide ia fed and from which the
Acetylene is distributed through the
building to be lighted, is but little larg-
err than a thirty gallon milk can. and
Of the same general form. 1t Is, easily
and cheaply installed, either in the cell
lar or In an outbuildlng.
The light from burning Acetylene IS
exquisite. and lighting experts agree
that 1t surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not faint the air nor
strain the eyes, and Is not objection
able In any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

How Owls CAUGHT Chickens.

When / was chunk Of q boy shot
horned owl, the spread Of whose
wings was Az feet, and to the sur
prise Of the boy who had carried 1t for
several miles the weight was only
four pounds.
They were rather numerous at that
time in that section Of the country,
and were troublesome about carrying
OF chickens, which mostly roasted in
apple trees about the farm buildings
The belief that they could carry away
full grown hens was common one.
1t was also commonly believed that
an owl never picked chicken on the
roost. but, alighting on the limb.
crowded the chickens off, and as 1t
flew toward the ground caught It on
the wing.-Forest and Stream.

COOKING Without Fire.

In the cookery schools Of Berlin,
Munich, Frankfort and other German
cities the use of the "freless stove"
or cooking box" is strongly recon-
mended. The apparatus consists SIM
ply of wooden box, thickly lined
with hay or felt and fitted with tight
cover. Nests are made In the lining.
into which pots containing food that
has first been boiled for a few min.
utes over a fire are placed, tightly GOV.
cred, and the box is closed. The lin.
Ing retains the heat for hours, and
the food is slowly cooked, with better
results, in many cases, than can be
attained by rapid cooking on a stove.
OF course the apparatus does not an.
swer for cooking steaks, chops or
cakes, which require a quick, hot fire,
but it is excellent for soups and vege-
tables.

Where He Got Them.

Jones sat working at his desk when
a Hebrew flower peddler stuck his
head in at the door and asked if he
was going to the big Yale-Harvard
football game on the morrow at New
Haven, If so, he would guarantee for
81 a bunch Of twice as many viclets
as any one else.
The offer was taken, the violets
delivered and worn to the game by a
young lady who not only used them
that day but the following Sunday.
A few days later the Hebrew again
called, and Jones said those violets
gave excellent satisfaction, but if you
have no objections would like to
know how you were able to sell so
many violets for so little money on a
day when they command high price.
His reply was, II get 'em off
corpses."

Tired, nervous and irritable, the

AMBITION As A TONIC.
n Is Well, Occasionally, to Depart
from tho Beaten Track.

from tho Beaten Track.
The world Is full of "beaten-track"
people who exist exactly after the
fashion Of millions of men and women
who have preceded them. New ideas.
new methods, new undertakings are
alien to them, and to move them out
Of the beaten track would require lit.
tie less than q moral or material cy.
clone. Their gait is plodding, and
their motto, Let we'll enough alone"
These people have their uses, no
doubt in the general scheme of things
mundane. They are important factors
in making life severe discipline
They hold in check the enthusiastic,
progressive and original people who
would otherwise run this poor old
world too swiftly.
Granted their usefulness, 1t might
be possible, and would surely be ad.
vantageous, for smaller number OF
beaten-track people to serve the pur.
poses for which they exist; and some
power evoked to transform the ma.
jority of them into progressive and
enthusiastic citizens Of the world,
Their numbers have far outgrown
the needs, while the ranks of the ad.
vance guard Of humanity have grown
thin.
Our attitude toward the sluggish
and satisfied people ought to be one
Of pity rather than scorn, perhaps, for
they are generally the product Of un.
toward circumstances. Physical or
mental or moral incapacity is respon.
sible for their apathy, and has left
them only energy or will sufficient for
the beaten track They at least are
far above the degenerate and crimi.
nal classes In humanity's scale, for
these are too feeble in intellect and
will to keep even in the beaten track.
not to mention the power to blaze
higher and finer way through the
world.

that all the other nuns were similarly
