A Slight Gap.

A genealogist, like a poet, must be
born, not made. The naive statements
offered by persons whose one desire Is
to show a lineage which will secure
them admittance to some exclusive or
%ganization drive the real genealogist
to rage or tears.

Daughters Of the Early Founders :"
said an Indignant young to a

"Oh, it's in the eighteenth century,"
said the young woman, with much irri-
tation. "They just failed to keep the

things. Why, l can remember back to

WHY FOOD FADDIsTs THRIVE.
Enthusiastic Belief Adds Taste,
that Insures Digestion.

Enthusiastic Belief Adds Taste
That Insures Digestion.
Much light has been thrown on the
process Of digestion in the last few
years by the Investigations Of Pavlov,
a Russian Psychologist, and others.
These Investigations have changed
very materially our views Of this proc
ess and have served to explain many
things relating to food, especially why
1t is that every food faddist thrivest
upon his particular diet, although 1T
may differ in toto from that of his
neighbor who thrives equally on his
own regimen. Stories are told of dys-.
peptics, living for years on carefully
selected food Of the blandest and
most easily dlgestible' sort, and suf-
1erlng misery, who suddenly conceived
a longing for corned beef and cabbage
ana surreptitiously devoured a meal
of it. To their delight as much as TO
their surprise, there was nothing to
pay for this yielding to the promptings
or nature; digestion was perfectly per-
formed for the first time in years.
such stories are not always apocry-
H HSJ @1hty NC lOullltu Oh 1dcC,
and their explanation is the same as
that of the success Of the food faddist.
Pavlov found in experimenting on
dogs that an abundance of gastric
juice was secreted when they had food
that they liked, even though this food
was mechanically prevented from en-
tering the stomach; whereas, when
they were fed IN things they did not
care for, but could eat only when half
starved, the secretions of gastric iuiceI
was very scanty. This he called tho
appetite juice" the process in the
stomach being analogous to the famil-
lar phenomenon Of watering In the
mouth or increased ~salivary secre-
ton caused by the sight or smell Of
savory food or even by the thought Of
1t. He found also that the compost
ton Of the digestive fluids varied with
the kind Of food, each article swallow
ed calling forth, through some mysteri-
u signals transmitted to the stomach
from the tongue and palate as soon as
they had tasted the morsel placed in
the mouth, just the sort of fuid best
adapted to its digestion. The enthusi-
astic appreciation by the dietetlc
crank Of the %unsavory food which be
is persuaded will assure him strength
and long life gives him a taste for II,
and 80 the motherly stomach provides
an abundance Of gastric juice Of the
proper composition and thereby saves
him from the otherwise Inevitable con-
sequences Of his folly.

times and in some places, it Is always because at such
times and in such places political control is allowed u
go by default.
Another reason or excuse for not taking part In polit-
ical affairs is the direct reverse of those that l nave
mentioned; 1t is that the party management is salts
factory that matters go along very well, and that a man
does his duty to his party if he supports its ticket with
his vote, and perhaps contributes his fair share toward
the payment of It's expenses. This position can never
be maintained.
None of these reasons for not taking part in party
politics is ordinarily the real reason. The real reason
is that men are unwilling to spend the time and the
money and the labor necessary for the due perform
ance of their duties as citizens; that they prefer to
attend to their professions, their business, their pleas
ures, and allow others to govern them, rather than to
take part in governing themselves.
They are willing to pursue a course which, If shared
in by the rest Of their ~countrymen,, would bring our
constitutional government to an immediate end, wreck
our prosperity and stop our progress.

Gets Historic Relic.

The University of Illinois has lately
added a number Of relics to its Abra-
han Lincoln collection. Among other
treasures in the university's possession
is an OK yoke made by Lincoln at New
Salem, Ill, in 1880, when he was 81
years old. 1t remained there until
1910, just after Lincoln's return from
his only term in Congress. Then Lin
coin and his brother-in-law, Clark NJ.
Smith. visited New Salem together.
While there the two attended an auc-
ton sale of farm chattels, among
which was the OK yoke. When the yoke
was offered for sale it was treated as
n novelty, because made by a Congress-
man. Lincoln acknowledged having
made the yoke, and Mr.. Smith bid it of,
saying lit was worth taking home as q
souvenir because made by his brother
in-law and q member Of Congress-

worked, and whilst executing some lovely piece or EN-
broidery of such graceful design and i'll such delicate
colors that it looked like a water color sketch, she would
learn all the finest passages from her author by heart.
Thanks to this system, she was able to relate stories
without end to young people without ever having to
refer to a book.
