HOW NATIONS EAT.
Table Manners of Americans and Those
of Europeans.

Over against us is a man whose hand
and fingers are all conversational. They
dart from face to the infinite. returning

his hands seek the gilded roof in sur

The pivot of the Germans table man

May be we are not more moral or

that the British table custom forbids the

The Heart of the Difficulty.

The figures produced by Congressman
Eawney relative to the expenditures Of
the Federal government for secret sery-
ice are startling. He says that while
special agents and inspectors apart
from those in the secret service bureau
hal been carried on the roll for many
years, the number ia 1896 was only 1866
aud the aggregate of their salaries was
81 100000. BY 1907. however, the
number had grown to 5000 aud the ex-
pense of their maintenance by the gov
erumlnt aggregated S90OO,0O0 n year.
OF course it is TO be taken into ac-
count that the country is growing and
that there are many things in connection
with the business OF the government
that require watching. The postotlice
department Is an institution needing
constant supervision, and 10 maintain
surveillance over the operations Of its
employees alone requires a large force.
IN a sense TIE men who perform this
function bear as much resemblance 10
floor walkers in Il large retail store as to
detectives.
The innovation which has called at
tentiou 70 the subject Of expenditures
for the secret service IS the use of these
agents by the executive department Of
the government to dog members Of Con-
grtss. True II is that there have been
members Of that body unfaithful to their
trust. History records instances of
members Of Presidential cabinets equal
ly unfaithful or more so. The private
secretary Of revered occupant Of the
White House was oue Of the principal
members Of the Whisky Ring Of a gen
erntion ago.
On the whole, however the standard
of personal integrity among American
public men is credtubly high and this
is true Of the three coordinate depart

ORIGIN OF GOLD DEPOSITS.
Why Beds of Streams Rich in the Min
eral Show No Trace of Quartz Veins.

eral Show No Trace of Quartz Veins.
The current theory Of the formation Of
gold bearing alluvial deposits assumes
that the gold existed originally in the
central nucleus Of the earth in the forms
of sulphide and telluride, which subso-
quently became dissolved in the water
of hot springs and were deposited to-
gether with gelatinous silica. Thus
were formed veins of auriferous quartz
which. in consequence of erosion. gave
rise to alluvial strata containing parti-
cles Of metallic gold.
NJ. EieuX. however, asserts that the
erosion of outcropping auriferous veins
Of quartz does not account for all depOs-
its Of metallic gold. He finds that som,
quartz, but consist wholly Of clay with
fragments Of diorite or diabase, and
moreover are SO situated as to preclude
the existence Of quartz veins He has
seen beds Of streams become richer ia
gold after every rain, though they
showed no trace Of quartz. Finally in
certain auriferous strata which contain
much quartz, no. a particle Of gold II
found in the quartz. though some gold
occurs in the diabase which accompa.
MES it.
Hence Fieux concludes that the ero-
sion Of quartz veins cannot be the sole
source Of auriferous alluvial strata; and
Furthermore. that the almost constant
presence. in those strata, of heavy basic
rocks, containing diorite amphibolic
schist and diabase. indicates that native
gold is one Of the subsidiary ingredients
Of those rocks.
According to this new theory there
fore. certain Of the heavy eruptIye rocks
have carried with them in their eruption
some Of the gold existing in the metallic
state in the central nucleus Of the earth
After reaching the surface these rocks
were oxidized by contact with the air
and eroded by water. which washed
away the lighter materials and left the
heavier, including the gold.-ScicntitiC

Nurse Your Baby
The best possible food for baby is
mothers milk, and this is what it should
get whenever possible, says DR. Leonard
keene Hirschberg, in The Delineator.
The mother who permits social duties"
laziness or any other such excuse or
motive to interfere with her highest of
privileges is a woman unfit to bring hui
man beings into the world. The best
of all infant foods, like the best of al.
varieties of modified cows milk, is but a
sorry substitute for mothers milk Moth
ing devised by the ingenuity of ply
sicians and chemists can so perfectly
combine the offices of food, drink and
medicine as does this natural food
When | say medicine, | speak literal
ly, for mothers milk gives TO the baby
some measure Of her own acquired pow
er of resistance to disease. There Is
indeed, good ground for the old saying
that. so long as a child is at the breast.
the blood of its mother continues to flow
through Its veins. Recent Investigators
in susceptibility and immunity have
shown that this is true. at least in effect,
for the breast-fed child shows dis
tinctly greater capacity for resisting the
organisms of all the principal infectious
diseases than the child fed upon artificial
food. TO put it simply, the baby nursed
by its mother is far less likely to take
measles, scarlet fever or chicken-poX,
and far more likely to recover quickly
and completely if it does. than the baby
nourished by cows milk and cereals.
