comanche Counts oueerIx.

A peculiar feature about the Co
manche language is the method OF
counting. A Comanche will count ur
to ten in the 1. 2. 8, 4, 5, 6, Z, 8, 9, 10
method, but there he stops. He
doesn't use eleven, but instead he
counts 1t as item and one more," and
so on, until he reaches nineteen,
when he pronounces nineteen. He
then pronounces twenty, but starts in
with twenty and one more" until he
reaches Twenty-Five, which he counts
twenty nine, then starts in with thir.
ty, like he did twenty, and counts to
thirty-nine, and so on all the way up.
Counting is the most difficult thing to
learn in the Comanche language. In
fact, by the time person has learned
to count in that language he has pref.
ty well mastered IT, AS there is nc
alphabet in the language the only way
to learn 1t is by word of mouth.

MARRIAGE EASY IN SCOTLAND:

There's Natural Food That Makes
Its Own Way.
There's boy up in Hoosick Falls,
N. Y, who is growing into sturdy
manhood on Grape Nuts breakfasts.
1t might have been different with him,
as his mother explains:
MY 1l-year-oid boy is large, we'll
developed and active. and has been
made so by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At FIVE years he was a
very nervous child and was subject
to frequent attacks OF indigestion
which used to rob him of his strength
and were very troublesome to deal
with. He never seemed to care for
anything fer his breakfast until
tried Grape Nuts, and | have never
had to change from that. He makes
his entire breakfast of Grape Nuts
food. 1t Is always relished by him
and he says that II satisfies him bet
ter than the ordinary kind Of a meal.
Better than all he is no longer
troubled with Indigestion or nervous
ness, and has got to be a splendidly
developed fellow since he began to
use Grape Nuts food" Name given by

VENEZUELA IS
GETTING READY
Troops are Being Enlisted by
Castro to Engage in War
With France.
Castro Is Unpopular With His coun-
trymen, However, and Many Will
Desert as Soon as French
Blockade Is Declared.

Willemstad, Island of Curacoa.-A
traveller who arrived here from Vene-
zuela said:
president Castro is busily engaged
in enlisting throughout the republic
and in other ways preparing for war.
Generals in each state have been COM
missioned and orders have been given
to call the recruits to the colors.
Information from the best sources
indicates that the people do not sup
port President Castro. On all sides
are heard expressions of desire to
revolt and overthrow the presidents
government as soon as the French
blockade is declared.
"A well-informed Venezuelan told
me that the troops will desert their
colors, as they have all been COM
PEELED to join the army, voluntary en-.
listments being unknown in Venezu-
ella. Puerto Cabello and Laguaira are
the only ports capable of making a
slight defense The former has two
modern six-inch guns and the latter
has four modern six-inch guns, with
the usual display of old Spanish pieces
which would be blown to pieces at the
first shots.
1T is doubted whether President
Castro can raise more than 10000 men
who will take the field with any show
of spirit The men are armed with
Mauser rifles, but they never practice
shooting. They have twenty million
rounds of ball cartridges and few
mountain guns. The Venezuelan navy
consists of five small craft concentrate
ed at Laguaira.

EGGS ALL CONTAIN A POISON
Action of Gastric Juices and Bile Pre-
vents Bad Effects.

Paragraphs have been extensively
published in the daily papers dealing
with the researches Of NJ. Loisel of
Paris on the recurrence Of poisonous
principles in eggs. 1t seems that the
yolk Of the eggs of hens, ducks and
tortoises contain a poison which, If
injected into the veins or otherwise
inoculated into the animal body,
causes death from its effects on the
nervous system. The white Of the tor
toise's egg also contains q toxic sub
stance.
Why eggs are not poisonous as or
dinarily used CT even when eaten raw
may be explained on the ground that
the action Of digestion alters the COM
position of the egg or at least modifies
1t so that i'll effects are avoided. In
deed, it is easy to show that certain
foods at particular stage of digestion
are "poisons. 1t is the action of the
liver on such foods which robs them
OF their power to do harm.
