tantalizing "They don't answer"
and then it occurred to him that Of
course the friend wasn't at home,
for of course he and his wife were
by that time on the way to that
same party that he should have been
on his way to by that time like an
upright, decent gentleman.

have to stay home, and he knew
what it meant to keep his wife
home from something for which she
had bought a brand new outfit,
There was no chance to shift the
blame either. His wife had him
literally with the goods on, and the
goods were still there on his shirt
front.

Their you'll find that he got out of it
somehow, you might as well go

How 10 Pick a Bank Clerk.

Commenting to friend the 9th
or day on the number Of embezzle-
ments that have been perpetrated
by bank employees the last year,
Richard Delaield, president Of the
New York National Park bank, re.
marked, with a wearied look:
Gin hiring bank clerk these
days it is a vital mistake to judge
a man by his appearance. he may
look as innocent as a babe in era
die, have bang up references and
may not drink, smoke or swear, but
all these count for naught. The
only way you can tell his true char
acter to a dead certainty Is when
he appropriates a big wad Of the
banks money and disappears"

THE USE Of SALT.
Importance of the Mineral Compound
to the Human Body.

70 Lne Truman Sooy'
"Salt assumes the most promi-
nent place in the list of our food
accessories" writes DR.. Andrew
Wilson. "From the most ancient
times man has valued salt as APP
parently a needful item in his die
tetic substances, and even lower an
finals exhibit an instinct for salt
such as represents an inborn crav-
ing arising from a dictate of nature
herself. The history of salt in rela-
ton to the body is itself interesting.
1t seems to be mineral compound
universally distributed throughout
our tissues. 1t occurs universally in
the living unless salt be specially
supplied. Even the freshest of our
meats contains salt as part and
parcel of its composition. Equally
notable is the fact that salt is found
in the excretions of the body. 1t is
given off in very appreciate quanti-
ty in the perspiration and in other
forms of waste resulting from our
bodily wear and tear. So important
a constituent of the blood is salt
that in cases of loss of blood the
surgeon injects into the circulation
a solution of salt and water and
thus contrives to replenish in a GER
tain fashion the depleted supply,
"In some way or other, as yet i'm
perfectly understood, salt appears
to be necessary for maintaining
what we may call the chemical equi-
ibrium of the blood. 1t is also not
yet clear to us why salt should be
so freely excreted, but even the
tears contain it, and the salt, salt
tears is a phrase for once at least
showing harmony betwixt science
and poesy. Leaving the reason why
aside, it is clear that we demand
salt not only for the maintenance Of
the body's normal constituents, but
likewise for the perfect discharge
of many of the functions.
81 believe one of the punishments
inflicted under the old laws of Hol-
land and one regarded as in severity
next to that of death was the keep
ing of prisoner for a certain length
Of time on diet from which all
salt was excluded. The result was
emaciation and death if the depri-
walton was long persisted ina
barbarous punishment truly, but
one which reflected credit, in a
sense, on the physiological knowl-
edge Of the trainers of the Dutch
penal code. Chicago News.

T61oh'GGnTAgton Banner is not en-
thusiastic over any of the guberna-
torial candidates and refers APPROX
ingly to the St. Adams Messengers
remarks on the spectacle of paid
agents going up and down the state
on PROSECUTING tours in behalf OF
their employers. "The truth of the
matter" says the Banner, lis that
the voters of Vermont do not want
any of the three men and a campaign
with them to the fore will be pain
fully forced and perfunctory." There
seemed to be an impression in some
quarters that one of the three men
mentioned for the exalted office Of
governor would get the prize; this is,
however, not disputing the assertion
that the people have little interest in
the political ambitions of any can
didate yet in sight, though Windsor
county thinks it has good man for
the coveted place.

he Strengthened up for a moment

himself would have noticed it. But,
