HARVEST or THE SEA.
A Peculiar oeeusstisn Followed on the
Coast Of Ireland.

| y peculiar Oeeupstien felloWsd On he
Coast Of ireland.
Along the northwest coast of Ire
land, on the borders of the Atlantic,
dwells hardy race of men whose
chief occupation, when not en-
gagged in fishing, consists in the
manufacture of kelp.
This kelp is of great commercial
Importance, as from it is obtained
nearly all our iodine, body of vast
use in medicine.
During the winter months the
kelp burners set out in their frail
little "curraghs" (small canoe-like
boats about twelve feet long, made
of canvass, and, proceeding along
the coast, fill the boats with sea-
weed, from which the kelp is made.
In this they are assisted by the wo-
men, who, bareheaded and shoeless,
take their turn regularly at the oars
and are almost as expert at it as the
men.
After a storm is the time selected
for obtaining the seaweed, as by
the force of the waves it has been
torn from its bed and is cast in
along the shore in large quantities.
When the boats are laden the sea-
weed is brought to a small creek and
there placed in heaps out of reach
of the tide. From this it is carried
in creels on the backs of men and
women to point farther inland,
where it has to undergo a process OF
drying.
The drying consists in exposing it
to the sun and wind, and the better
to do this they have rows of loose
stones laid about twenty yards in
length and few feet in height.
Along the tops of these they scat
ter the seaweed.
The drying takes months, so that
spring is well advanced ere it is
ready for burning. This does not
matter, however, as, owing to the
fuel-the peat, or turf, got from
the bogs at hand--not belng yet cut
and dried Tor "win," as it is term
ed), it is summer before the burn
ing in the kilns can commence.
The kiln is q deep trench dug in
the ground. Alternate layers Of turf
and seaweed are laid in this till full,
and the whole is kept burning for
about three weeks, until it cakes to-
gether in large black mass resem-
bling coke, but much more solid
and heavier. This is the kelp.
1t is then broken into blocks
about fourteen inches square and
brought by boat to the villages,
where it is sold, to be shipped to
more profitable markets. = London

THE DIET QUESTION.
Eat What You Like, What Agree
With You, but Eat Slowly,

That instinct is a much better
guide to diet than faulty reasoning
is the conclusion of DR.. Woods
Hutchinson, writing on dietetic tada
in McClure's Magazine. Here are
some of his findings condensed;
Men should eat what they like
and a good deal of it. "Giyen our
age, sex, size. horsepower and the
work to be done, the suitable fuel
is only question OF cost and acces-
sibility."
Fish is no richer in phosphorus
than many other foods. Even ii it
were il would not therefore be good
for the brain" as some suppose.
SPICES do not ''heat the blood"
That notion confounds the 'hot"
taste with actual heat. Spices are
antiseptic. The Egyptians preserved
mummies in spices. In tropical
countries people eat more spices
than in cold ones, and the diet does
them good.
Pork is all right. 1t digests slow
ly, but that is an advantage. The
more rapidly digested foods are not
the most healthful. The digestive
machinery must have work to do
like the rest of the body.
Negetarianism is "the diet of the
enslayed, stagnant and conquered
races" A diet rich in meat is that
of the dominant races.
Few people who eat much meat
ever become consumptiye. 'Tuber-
culosis sweeps like pestilence
through the grass and grain eaters
cattle, antelopes, chickens, pheas-
ants, turkeys-but is decidedly rare
among meat eaters--dogs, cats, IT,
gers, lions, ciyets, badgers, hawks,
eagles, crows"
Breakfast foods are well enough
if you must have them, but "be
sure and eat your breakfast first.
White bread Sis the best, most
healthful and most nutritious food
which the sun has ever grown from
the soil" Wars have always been
fiercest for the possession of the
great wheat growing plains. No ma
tion eats brown bread when it can
get white. Instinct is here also cor
rect. Whole wheat meal, or "gra-
ham," contains more nitrogen than
white, but the white has more
"availabIe" nitrogen.
"Mush makes a superb sour
mash in n weak stomach" "The
tortures of the chronic dyspeptic
are aggravated and in very many
cases chiefly caused by the very
foods which he takes for their cure"
The chief value of "mush and mill"
(meaning also other coarse cereal
foods is in the milk and sugar.
Eat slowly, eat what you like,
what agrees with you and as much
as YOU need, seems to be DR., Hutch
inson's idea.

A suraeon's story-o or an Operation ssss
q Grateful Beast.

A veterinary surgeon who had
won reputation was once summon
ed by p. T. Barnum to come to his
stables to attend Hebe, favorite
elephant, who had hurt her foot.
She was a splendid creature and
worth small fortune. The surgeon
told the story Of his experience and
its results in Our Dumb Animals:
Hebe had stepped on nail or a
bit of iron, and it had penetrated
the tender part of her foot. She
was in intense agony-almost wild
with pain.
Long before we reached the in
closure in which she was kept we
could hear her piteous trumpeting,
and when we entered we found her
on three legs, swinging the sore foot
slowly backward and forward and
uttering long cries of anguish. Her
keeper said: 'sDon't you be afraid,
sir. Hebe's got sense" But | own
that I felt rather queer and shaky
as / went up to the huge beast.
The men employed about the
show came round us curiously as /
bent down to examine the foot.
While l was doing SO as gently as
l could / felt light touch on my
hair, and as / turned and saw the
great trunk behind me it had an
awful suggestiyeness.

Well, i made one cash with the
knife. l felt the grasp on my hair
tighten perceptibly, yet not ungen-
tly. Cold drops of perspiration stood
out all over me, and / hesitated as
to whether | should 60 on.
"Shall | cut again 2" ! managed
to call out.
"Cut away" came the response.
This stroke did the work. A mass
of fetid matter followed the knife,
the abscess WAS lanced. We sprayed
oat the foot, packed it and bound it
up. The relief must have been inn
mediate, for the grasp on my hair
relaxed, and the elephant drew {
long sigh.
A year and a half after this l
was called to western Massachusetts,.
Barnum's show was there. You may
be sure / called to inquire for my
distinguished patient.
"Hebe's well and hearty, sir" the
keeper answered me. "Come in and
see her. She'll be glad to see YOU"
For q moment she looked at mo
indiferently, then steadily and with
interest. She next reached cut her
trunk and laid it caressingly on my
hair. and then she lifted UP her
foot, now whole and healthy, and
showed Il to me. That's the sober
truth.
