the strangest cases quoted in the an

by lunatics would certainly tax the

They included: Nails, matches, coins,
spoons, pebbles, glass, cinders, beads.
studs, needles, scissors, small plyers,
pins, pieces of brass, earth, coal. but
tons, hairpins, spectacles, button

Fiease the Young People.
Now and again when entertaining
young people we need something
which will amuso them for an odd
half-hoar. Making ''smudgeographs"
wifi be found most useful for this pur-
pose.
Get your Young friends to seat them
selves around the table and provide
them with sheets Of white paper, pens
and ink.
The fun consists in making marks
or writing names upon the paper and
while the ink is still wet, folding the
paper and sQeezing the ink in all direc-
tons. Very curious designs may be
produced in this way.
The best results are obtained by
first folding the paper and then writ
ing with plenty of ink, along the
crease. Now fold the paper quickly
and pass the finger several times
firmly across the back.
Probably if hundred persons wrote
the same words the results would all
be different. Write your own name
just once, squeeze it out while still
wet, and you won't recognize it.-Mon-

VALUE OF SALT IN FOOD.
Has Distinct Benefit Apart from It's
FiaVornq Powers.

FiaVoring Powers.
Salt is perhaps the commonest con.
dirent of all and yet man practically
stands alone among animals as
regular consumer of it in the more or
less pure state and as a definite adj
junct to his food. Salt is present in
most foods, but the amount in the
majority of cases would not appear
to satisfy mans needs or he would
not 1nstinctively add more. Moreover,
salt may not necessarily exist in the
free state of foods of natural origin,
but may be loosely combined with or
ganic constituents. There can be lit
tie doubt that salt plays greater part
than that of a mere continent in the
body, for it possesses solvent powers
which, besides drawing out" the fla.
vor of food, facilitate the absorption
more particularly Of proteids and thus
increase tissue metalbolism. The
pleasures of feeding would be very
decidedly diminished if salt and cOndi'
ments were banished from our tables.
1t is noteworthy, moreover, that
among condiments, most of them,
while flavoring the digestive process
es, are antiseptic, so that their action
tends to counterfeit any disposition
to undesirable fermentation.
