Erratic Anne RnIevn.

OF the unfortunate Anne Boleyn
who was the second wife of King Hen
ry VIII of England and who was be-
headed in 1886, a writer says: even
at this distance of time she rises be
fore us as a living, breathing woman
of flesh and blood. She was witty, pas
sionate, vivacious and moody in turns
she was essentially variable and jour
naliere. After her elevation to the
throne she became vindictive and
cruel, but she had many charming
qualities. While awaiting her doom al
the Tower she was wretched and mer-
ry in turns, sometimes initiating heI
uncle Norfolk, who had conducted hel
to the Tower, with his head shakings
and his Tut, tut, tut sometimes call
ing for supper directly after dinner
sometimes deep in her devotions. 1t is
the same Anne to the last-high spirit
ed, unreasonable, with highly strung
nerves and a good deal of courage al
the back of her tendency to be hys
terical"

The Juice of This Fruit rs n Great
Aid 10 Digestion.
The word engine does not appear to
have any connection with pineapple,
yet it is the name of the chemical that
gives to the luscious fruit the remark
ably digestible property which it pos
sesses. The prevailing notion that pine
apple juice is excellent for the diges-
ton is supported by medical testimony.
Eat slice of the fruit after dinner,
say the doctors, and you will not suffer
from dyspepsia.
If you want to see what pineapple
can accomplish in the way of diges-
ton. you can easily test it on piece of
raw steak The action of pineapple
juice on meat is to transform it into
jelly and then dissolve it when in the
human stomach
Place a slice of the fruit on the raw
meat as it lies Oh Il plate, and the up
per surface of the steak where the
fruit touches it will soon become gelat-
nous. Engine the active principle Of
the juice, can be obtained by throwing
salt into the juice, thus producing a
precipitate.
A good sized pineapple contains two
pints of juice, a fact that gives an idea
of what a slice of the fruit will do for
digestion. If cooked, the pineapple
loses its virtue in this respect 1t may
be asked Shether the consumption Of
the somewhat woody fruit itself is ben
eficial or not, for that can scarcely be
easily digestible.
Without doubt it is the juice which
does the good, not the flesh of the pine
apple, but the property of the juice is
so effective that the eating of the fruit
itself can do no harm and may even he
beneficial, inasmuch as it takes some
of the strength of the juice to dissolve
it and so prevents the stomach suffer

TIE CULT OF SILENCE.

Truest Intercourse Between COngen-
iaI Spirits Is without Words.
Now, to keep ones freshness there
ought to be zone of silence around
every human being during some part
Of every day. 1t is significant that the
great religions of the world have come
out of silence and not out Of noise, and
the finest creative work is done, as a
rule, in seclusion--not necessarily apart
from men nor in solitary places, but
away from the tumult and away from
distracting sounds.
It is In silence alone that we come
into possession of ourselves. The noises
of life disturb us as a cloud of dust in
terEenes between the eye and the sky,
There ought to be cult for the prac'
tice of snence-a body of men and
women committed to the preservation
Of the integrity of their souls by net
Their hearing nor making speech for
certain periods, pledged to the culture
of the habit Of quietness.
Maeterlinck has pointed out the fact
that the best things are never spoken,
and the truest intercourse between con-
genial spirits is carried on without
words. If we said less and thought
more there would be far fewer things
to explain, many sources Of irritation
would be dried up at the sources and
the prime cause of irritation, which is
nervous exhaustion or excitement,
would be reInoved.-Outloolk
