MARK TWAIN'S CLOTHES.
The Great Humorist Always Had
Relish For Personal Effect.

The Great Humorist Always Had 4
Relish For Personal Effect.
At the time of our first meeting
Mark Twain was wearing sealskin
coat, with the fur out. in the satis.
faction Of caprice or the love Of
strong effect which he was apt to in
dulge through life. Fields. the publish
er, was present.
do not know what droll comment
was in Fields mind with respect TO
this garment. but probably he felt
that here was an original who wax
not to be brought to any Bostonian
book in the judgment of his vivid
qualities. With his crest Of dense red
hair and the wide sweep Of his fam-
ing mustache Clemens was not dis
cOrdantly clothed in that sealskin coat.
which afterward, in spite Of his own
warmth in it, sent the cold chiliS
through me when once accompanied
1t down Broadway, and shared the
immense publicity 1t won him.
Clemens had always relish for per-
sonal effect, which expressed itself In
the white suit Of complete serge which
he wore In his last years and in tho
Oxford gown which he put on for
every possible occasion and said he
would like to wear all the time. That
was not vanity in him, but keen feel
ing for costume which the severity .!
our modern tailoring forbids men,
though it flatters women to every ex
cess in it.-W. D. Howells in Har.

"OO often the "tocsin of the

of what really constitutes q food A
food may be defined as a substance
that
First.-Is digestible and nonpoison-
Gus.
Second.-Furnishes energy or build
ing material to the body.
Varieties Of Food.
Foods are divided chemically into
two great classes. nitrogenous and
nOn-nitrogenous.
The most important nitrogenous ele-
ments are known as proteids, of which
the lean of meat and white of egg are

FORKS
examples. Some vegetables and grains
also contain proteids, especially peas,
beans, wheat, rye, corn. etc.
The non-nitrogenous elements are
divided into fats. carbohydrates (sug-
ars and starches) and salts.
In other words, we must find in our
food the same elements that enter
into the composition of the body.
The folly Of trying to live on any
cne particular kind of food will be ap-
parent to any one who familiarizes
himself with the constitution of the
body and its needs. The proteids are
required for building material and en-
ergy. the carbohydrates and fats for
storage and energy and the salts and
mineral elements for building pur-
poses and to assist in the chemical
processes and exchanges going Oh in
the body
What Is Digestion7
Digestion is the process of trans
forming food elements into substances
that can be absorbed into the blood
through the walls Of the digestive
tract. If the digestive functions are
paralyzed food taken into the stomach
acts simply as foreign body and
causes irritation and finally, by its de-
composition, poisoning.
The digestive processes are carried
OH by substances whose exact form
and constitution are unknown. termed
engines. or ferments.
But digestion does not begin in the
stomach. The saliva contains very
important engine, ptyalin, which con.
verts starch into malt sugar The im-
portance Of thoroughly chewing all
starch foods. such as cereals. vegeta.
bles, bread. pastry. potatoes. ETC.. will
at once be apparent.
Counting your chews." however, is
not advised. The act of chewing
should be natural and subconscious.
If the attention is directed too closely
TO the mechanical act Of chewing or.
in fact, il the mind dwells too intently
on the subject Of digestion the normal
functions are retarded. Count your
chews some time and note II your
Jaws do not ache by the time you
reach the twentieth. Count your steps
in walking and note whether your
limbs do not quickly tire.
If the internal activities OF our bod
les could be seen in their entirety
even for a few brief moments. 1t Is
probable that an unutterable wearlness
would oppress and stifle us.
Prolonged chewing Of meat does not
appear to be required. The favorable
results from experimenting along this
| line are probably due to the fact thai
| less meat was taken. The saliva does
not digest meat On the contrary. by
prolonged chewing meat is thorough!

The Swedish Almanac.

The Swedish name almanac differs
from English almanacs in giving, be-
sides the usual information. a Chris
tian name for each sex for every day
Of the year. The names set forth have
to receive the approval Of the king.
The object aimed at is to secure II
greater choice of names for parents
and to avoid the endless repetition Of
a dozen or so names. A similar name

ity in one of the German states.-Lon-
