Effect of Condiments on Food.

The Russian psychologist Pavlov,
has clearly demonstrated in his re-
searches on digestion, that the indi-
gestion of substances with purely
nutrient value does not sufficiently
satisfy the demands OF the body
taste and appetite must also be taken
into consideration. These are salts
fed only by the addition to the food of
spices and salt, and it is largely due
to the influence of these condiments

snider Lives Long on Liaht.

Little Miss Muffet's spider was per-
haps not so hungry as he looked.
M. ]. H. Fabre has studied the spi-
der's powers Of fasting. He noticed
that the mother spider carries its lit
tie ones on it's back for seven months,
and that during that time the young
spiders consume absolutely no food.
He concluded from this observation
that it Is the solar heat and light that
for them directly takes the place of
nourishment. In other words, the
motor heat in these young animals,
instead of being released from the
food, might be utilized directly as the
sun, source of all life, radiates it.

Snuff-taking is common habit

Foe of the Octupus.

Conger cells hunt for the octopus
and, when found, proceed to browse
on its limbs. The octupus tries to
hug the slippery conger tight, but in
vain, and, finding its limbs growing
less, discharges it's ink in the face of
the foe and, under cover of the tur-
bid water beats hasty retreat. It is

Isaac Barrows was the one stupid
child in family of brilliant children.
His talented father, somewhat hui
inflated at the denseness of his sons
mind, is said to have remarked that
if it was the will of God to remove
any of his children, he hoped Isaac
would be the one. Yet his fame as
theologian and mathematician are

the chair of mathematics in Trinity
college, no man in all England was
considered qualified to fill his place,
save the great Newton whom he had
taught.

Hon. M. T. Greeley, who was in the
city a few days this week, Informed a
representative of this paper that the
dates for the farmers Institutes had
been definitely determined upon for
this county. Mr.. Grecley's health is
not such as to insure his continuance
with the institute workers, but ii is
hoped he may bcablc to be with them
in this county.
The first point which they will
reach in this county is Groton on
Thursday, the Sth OF February. This
will be a n day meeting, concluding
with an evening session. On the fol-
lowing day, Friday, the 9th, they will
open a two days session in Aberdeen,
to conclude with an evening session
Saturday night. On the following
Monday morning, the 18th, the cops
of institute workers will invade Fred
erick, holding a forenoon and after
noon session, to conclude in time for
the train returning to Aberdeen.
MIR. Greeley and his co-workers are
strongly inclined to favor the smaller
towns, claiming that at those places
the attendance is best as a rule. That
the Groton and Frederick meetings
will be rousing one they seem to have
no doubt, and very much desire to see
Aberdeen prove an exception to the
rule as regards big towns and make
the institute here a hummer. L
rests with the farmers tributary tt
the City to make the institute "a grea

POOR D0GGIE
Ira Curtis Pet Dog Has Harrow
ing Experience

About two weeks ago Ira Curtis vas
suddenly called away by the death OF
a brother. Mrs. Curtis had been away
for some time, When Mr.. Curtis left
he entrusted the care of his pet dog
TO a kind neighbor. He also request
ed his neighbor to remove some plants
from the house and let the fire die out
until his return. His neighbor ana
this and in removing the plants made
several trips back and forth and final
ly locked up the house. On his return
Mr.. Curtis 'phoned up to the nelghbor
and asked how everything was ana
was told that the house was still there
but that the doggie was gone. Inc
neighbor further volunteered the IN
formation that practically all the
small boys in tue vicinity had been
engaged for just eight days in one I'M
remitting search for the dog, but
without success. Mr.. Curtis went to
bed, grieving over the loss of his pet.
The next morning he betook himself
to his home, d%isconsolate and mourn
full. He thought of the way his dog
would have fairly wagged himself in
two. for Joy, were he only there to
greet him. Reluctantly he unlocked
and opened the door and went in.
And there was the dog. The poor
little fellow had slipped into his own
home, ''unbeknuw:,st" to the kind
neighbor and had been patiently wait
ing for his master in the cold house
for eight long days and nights. The
scene that followed was such that no
paper would be justified in entruding
its presence. The dog has recovered
and Mr.. Curtis probably will.

that he had been that day locked in

whether to believe what he had read
or trust to the evidence of his own
senses. He finally decided to look the
matter up and when he did he found
that it was George Bolles who had
been locked up and who, not he, was
entitled to all the newspaper comment
here which and elsewhere followed. IL

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB
Discusses Outlook for Municipal
Reform-Paper by Chas. M.
Stevens

On Monday night at the regular
fortnightly meeting of the Social
Science club the regular program was
a paper on the Outlook for Municipal
Reform by Chas. M. Stevens. The
paper was optimistic in tone and con.
else in style as all Mr.. Stevens pro-
auctions are.
This paper may be summarized as
follows:
"One of the most potent in huences
to foster the corrupt condition Of tho
Dig cities is the maintenance of
national partyism or national party
lines in municipal affairs. The citi.
zens OF a city at purely municipal cleo.
tlons should divide into parties on
questions affecting the city. To do
otherwise would be as much of an ali.
surdlty as to form a national party IN

hopeful signs OF the time.

pressible VIM. r, Hearst One OF the
things upon which most OF us base our
strongest hope for better municipal
government, the initiative m
referendum, was not mentioned in
the paper,
The paper provoked a discussion
that was interesting. Mr.. Rehfcld
pointed out the fact that the rer-
nicious influence Of the saloon was a
serious stumbling block in the path OF
municipal reform. G. G. Burnett be-
lieved in the efficacy OF municipal
ownership Of public utilities, claim
ing that the private monopoly of such
franchises is the most fruitful source
OF corruption in the big cities. K, l.
Brown had much hope'for reform be-
cause Of the growing independence OF
the press. He also thought much OF
the corruption in big cities due to the
large foreign element. Mr.. Stevens
took issue with him on the laiterStatc-
mcnt, pointing TO the excellent con
dition OF affairs in Boston, a city ruled
largely by the Irish. G. w. Nash was
inclined to believe that it was not i'm
possible to work out municipal re-
forms at the same time maintaining
national party lines.
