EXPERTS ADVICE OF EATING.
author,t.ss Tell Us What Foods VA
Should Consume and Avoid.

Sicero told us long ago that We
should eat to live. not live to eat. anu
Prof. Gau,:e:, of Par'S, amplihes tha'
wise pronouncement IL the course OF
very interesting article on HOW we
Ought to Eat" The professor Is the
sworn enemy of all culinary artihces
the object of which is to stimulate
taste, excite the appetite and induce
man to eat without hunger and orlnk
without thirst.
These, he says, are prejudiclal 10
the maintenance Of health. When one
has an appetite for plain Dreau'
vegetables or meat unmoditied by any
seasoning then and then only can one
be said to be really hungry. Another
paternal recommendation which the
professor makes is the old advice OF
our gradmothers, that we should al
ways leave the table with a slight
sensation OF hunger not entirely ap-
peased.
I, appears. that we lose every day
from S. to 100 grams Of albuminoids,
corresponding to 4GO or 500 grams of
mu-cular flesh or analogous tissue.
An inhabitant of Paris, for instance
recuperates on the average to the eX-
tent of 102 or 103 grams day.
AS a guide to what we should eat
the professor tells US that the best
meat is that of animals fattened on
pasture land-beef and mutton. Then
comes poultry and pork fed on prod
ucts Of a vegetable origin, whether
grain or herbaceous.
One should always avoid the flesh
of animals fattened to excess on mus
cular flesh and also, to certain ex-
tent, that of animals which are too
young. Veal is not good for either
gouty Or arthritic people. 1t is not
recommended for people with fragile,
irritable, eruptive skin.
Fish, excellent in itself when it is
quite fresh, is easy to digest, but it. Is
| not suitable to eczematous persons or
those who have any other skin dis
ease. Black meats or game excite the
kidneys, predispose to gravel, to he
tatic congestions and to arterlo-s -scle-
rosis. One may live absolutely with
out meat; one can not do without
vegetable ailments
Eat with regularity and in accord
ance with the demands of hunger such
dishes as have always been regarded
| as innocuous and remember that, as a
rule, it is neither meats nor bouillon
| nor wine nor spices nor coffee which
poison us, but their abuse.

Tested With Drops Of Water

A drop of water, even three or
four drops, falling on the head seems
thing unworthy Of attention;
nevertheless in China slow and con-
tinuous dropping Of water on the
head has been found to be method
of torture under which the most
hardened criminal abjectly hoWls
for mercy.
When a professor in the Sorbonne
stated this to his class the other
day, says the London Chronicle, one
of the students laughed increduously,
and said 1t would take a good deal
of that sort of thing to affect him.
The professor assured him that
even one quart Of water dropped
slowly onto his hand would be be-
yond his endurance. He agreed to
experiment.
A quart measure filled with water
was brought in, microscope hole
was bored in the bottom and the per-
formance began, the professor count
Ing.
During the first hundred drops the
student made airy remarks. With
the second hundred he began to look
less cheerful. then gradually all his
talk died away, and his face took on
haggard, tortured expression.
With the third hundred the hand be-
gan to swell an look red. The pain
increased to torture. Finally the
skin broke.
At the four hundred and twentieth
drop the sceptic acknowledged his
doubts vanished and begged for
mercy. He could bear no more.

THE SCALE TAILED CRAB.
Naturalist Schaeffer Once Counted
Them, and Found 1,e02,604.

HSHly dIIu TooHd 'tSSG'oo''
The crab known as the scale tailed
apus was believed to have become ex-
tinct in Great Britain fifty years ago,
the last recorded specimens being
taken in the ponds on Hampstead
Heath. But now it has turned up
again in some numbers in two ponds
on Preston Merse. near Souihwfck, in
Kirkcudbrightshire About two and
a half inches long, the apns bears
very striking likeness to that remark
able creature the king crab, and this
because the fore part of the body is
covered by great semicircular shield
or carapace, while as in the king
crab, it swims on its back. In the
great number Of it's legs the scale
tailed apus has few rivals, while In
the number Of the joints which these
share between them no other creature
can compare. The naturalist Schaef-
fer once essayed the task of counting
them and made the magnificent to-
tai of 1,802,604. Latreille put down
the number at round 2,0UO.0OO

into the causes and cure of that
strange and widely prevalent mala-
dy, the sleeping sickness, has become
famous throughout large portion OF
the Dark Continent. He has treated
and cured hundreds Of black men af-

the title of Great White Wizard"

The Collinwood Calamity.

The horrible death by burning Of
nearly two hundred school children
in a defectively built school house is
one of the worst calamities that has
ever occurred in this country. That
sixty per cent of the pupils should
have lost their lives outright and a
great number of others should have
been frightfully burned is dreadful
evidence of the lack of provision
against such a visitation as came upon
the school and the panic resulting
from it.
1t is stated that the doors general
ly opened inward, so that the rush
of the children to escape from the
burning building jammed the doors
close and prevented egress. That is
an old, old story, which seems never
to carry a lesson of construction.
No building in which large num-
bers of people congregate should
have its doors opening inward, yet
there are comparatively few, we
suppose. that have them otherwise.
AS the Charleston Post says it is
dreadful thing to think of those poor
little souls struggling to escape the
death that was reaching for them
and encompassed so many and the
details of the shocking tragedy are
narrowing beyond compare. In the
presence Of such an event as this

guard against the reproduction Of

The New Postal Law.

The New Postal Law.
Many newspaper readers are
doubtless at aloss to know why the
postal authorities should enact q
law requiring that subscription to
papers be, pald in advance, and there
fore a few words Of explanation will
be in order. Third assistant Post
master General A. L. Lawshe, who
instituted thenew regulations which
will go into effect on April 1. is in
sistent in declaring that the order
will not affect any legitimate publi-
cations.
1t is certain, on the other hand,
that the publications which are
spread broadcast over the country
merely for the sake of getting the
advertisements they contain before
the people practically will be driven
out, of business. Hundreds of peri
odicals heretofore have been publish
ed whose subscription lists were pad
ded to the utmost limit. 1t made no
difference to the publisher whether
people paid the subscription price OF
the periodical or not. The price was
purely nominal in most instances.
The advertisers "paid the freight, -
so they say, and the government
carried the fake publications practi-
cally free through the mails.
Now the situation has been chang
ed. Hereafter the government will
not have the mails burdened with
enormous subscription lists that are
not genuine or with sample copies
of this publication or that which does
not pay it's own way through the
mails. An official to the post office
department who has done some t1g-
uring on the matter, says that dur
ing the month of January nearly 20
600 900 less copies of purely adverti-
sing publications were carried in the
mails theu were carried during the
month of December before the new
regulations became effective. Herto-
fore these publications have been
transported by the department at
pound rates, precisely as real news
papers.
"This constituted an abuse Of
the mail privilege" said MIR. Lawshe
"that never was within contempla-
ton of Congress when that part OF
the postal law was enacted. The
sending of vast amounts of second
class matter through the mails does
not increase the revenue of the de-
partment to any great extent, but 1t
does increase tremendously the ex-
pense and trouble. The sample copy
abuse has also been carried to ex-
tremes.
"ItDis an absolute fact that some
publishers rarely if ever take a name
from their subscription lists after it
has been placed thereon; notwlth-
standing the fact that.the subscrip-
ton has expired and the subscriber
no longer wants the publication.
These conditions are dealt with IN
the regulations and once they are
understood and conformed to by
publishers the result will be benefc-
ial not only to the government, but
also to publishers.
Heretofore the second-class mat
ter has amounted to.nearly seventy
per cent Of all the matter carried
through the mails, and yet has yield
ed less than five per cent of the rev.
enues. Under the regulations this
proportion will be changed. l believe
the second-class matter will amount,
wenh business is adjusted to the new
regulations to not more than fifty per
cent Of the mail matter and that the
revenues from this class will show
an appreciable increase.

BRYAN Has Goo Chance.

A letter from Washington says
strong feeling is being manifested
among not only the Democrats In
Congress, but also among those who
are visiting Washington at this time
that Mr.. Bryan, this year. has far
more than a mere fighting chance to
win at the polls. That is the view
of the situation taken by men who.
heretofore, have been opposed to
the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan third
time.
The opinion is general that before
the public of the country, ne is
stronger than he was in 1906,
when, it is conceded he had the op-
position badly frightened. In 1900,
of course, he was beaten from the
start. This year both Republicans
and Democrats believe that he is
likely to give any candidate nomi-
mated at Chicago a hot argument.
This opinion is entertained be-
cause it seems likely that for the
first time in a Presidential contest,
Mr.. Bryan is likely to have the sup
port of a united Democracy. No
factional divisions are probable.
He will be supported by all Demo-
Gratis, because there are no lines of
cleavage among them now. The
situation is anomalous, but it fore
casts one of the most interesting, If
not exciting, campaigns in the his
tory of American politics.
