White Lettuce and Green Cabbage

There is a curious difference"
says a gentleman of st. Louis who
spent large part Of the year in Eng
land j*between the English and our
selves in the way Of growing cabbage
and lettuce for the table. With US the
cabbage is encouraged to form a head,
and when the leaves show a disposi-
ton to spread the gardeners some
times tie string around the clump
to make the leaves grow together In
England. on the other hand, the eff.
forts of the growers are directed to-
ward keeping cabbage green, and they
pull the leaves apart SO as to expose
all portions to the light and give them
a dark. rich color.
I'VE like our lettuce green, but the
English want theirs headed up and
blanched, so as to have 1t as white as
our cabbage, In other words, they sim.
ply reverse our practice. and instead
Of white cabbage and green lettuce
they like green cabbage and white
lettuce. OF course 1t is only mat.

rather curious"

ditions to our knowledge is the fact
that among many other things, the

About two tablespoonfuls OF bit
ter salt like EPSON salts is daily
manufactured by the liver, and then
can be extracted from the bile. The
bases of this salt, called taurin, was
ilfty-two years ago supposed by the
eminent English chemist, Bence
Jones. to be like a veritable animal
Quinine, because he found that the
taurin of the guinea pig gave both all
the different chemical reactions Of
quinne and its spectroscopic lines as
well. This substance, therefore. he
regarded as our natural protective
agent against fnvasions of the blood
by micro-organisms. Since then this
theory has been considerably modi-
fed by the discovery of numerous
other drugs manufactured in the body
which because they can combine
with acids and form salts, are called
alkaloids, some of them, however, be-
ing powerful poisons. 1t is now, gen.

chemists that we daily manufacture

neutralized by the liver and other or
gans before they can enter the blood
and thus reach the brain and other
vital parts of the nervous system.

Magic and Poison RInqs.

The ring began when man thrust
his finger through hole in pretty
shell. and later learned to make rings
OF jet. The ring is very magical.
Lord Ruthven, who helped to kill Ric-
clio, gave Queen Mary a ring which
was sovran against poison. and she
generously replied with the present
of her fathers wonderful jewelled
dagger, of French work, no longer in
existence. Whether Ruthven fooled
with this magnificent weapon in the
affair of Riccio or used cheaper arti.
Gle is uncertain. At all events, Mary
based on the ring that was an antidote
to poison charge of sorcery against
.-thven. The Judges of Jeanne d.
Arc regarded with much suspicion her
little ring of base metal, a gift from
her parents. inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Maria.
It was usual to touch the relics of
saints with rings; Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body Of
st. Catherine, whether she meant of
the actual saint or relic of the saint
brought from Sinai to Fierbois. The
ring might contain a relic, or, later a
miniature. fear that ! do not be-.

sANDY's VICTORY.

Old Sandy was herder-well, just a
wee bit daft;
He lived up in Wyoming in a white
topped wagon craft,
And he was allus serious-some say
he never laughed
Wed draw across the country, a
deal line that was plain,
But Sandy crossed one mornin' and
stood there in the rain,
While We rode up and told him he
must so back again.
We gave him till next mornin' to move
his sheep away;
He waited; still and patient, till we
had said our say
But we seen he hadn't vamoosed when
We came back next day.
We rode up to his wagon. a red-hot,
cussin' crowd,
But out pops locoed SANDY with bag
pipes skirlin' loud,
And at his side a claymore--and he
was struttin' proud.
There amt no bronco livin' that bag
pipes wouldn't scare,
And the first notes that came
squeakin' set ours a-buckin
fair;
But Sandy kept on playin' Scotch
marchin' air.
Eight cowmen were unsaddled, and
those of US that stayed,
Was leapin' cross the sagebrush--no
stops for any grade!-
But still old Sandy strutted and stin
the bagpipe played.
Well, we was weak for laughin' but
grasped the herder's hand,
And bade the victor welcome-him
and his woody band
And Sandy and his bagpipe have
stayed in Cattle Land.

SPIRIT OF THE TRACK.

There are some who look upon field
meets, football, etc., as being of value
only from an amusement standpoint.
They believe that the students want
to do something and so engage in ath-
letics for entertainment.
But this view of athletics is all
wrong. The entertainment feature is
of the least important. The good
comes from the careful physical train
ing to which the athletes are subjected
the enthusiasm that is kindled and
from other sources. A good feature
about school athletics is the fact that
students are taught that they must
rigidly observe the rules of the game.
Violations of the rules bring severe
penalties and the athlete who ac-
quires a reputation for being dirty"
is always looked upon with disfavor
But probably the most value from
school sports come from the strong
spirit that is engendered. A football
game or a track meet always makes
the fire of school patriotism burn
brightly and out of this feeling comes
the "do or die" spirit that wins vic
tories. This spirit is a fine thing to
encourage in students. 1t is a good
thing for them to take with them
when they graduate from school
Wellington declared that the battle
of Waterloo was won on the football
fields of England. So was the Span
ish war won in the public schools OF
America.
But cheerful enthusiasm and heal
thy fighting spirit is as valuable in
the business world as it is on the CORY
field. without some enthusiasm and
some fighting blood a man can dc
nothing in business, politics or in any
other line. In everything it is the
spirit that wins.
