Cracker Lunches,

New York city alone has nearly
100000 children attending the public
schools. What a splendid opportunity
to provide this vast army of healthy
youngsters with a wholesome and ap-
petizing cracker lunch, done up in a
neat package and still cheap enough
to be within the reach of even the
poorer parents. We once saw saw
one of these cracker lunches as got
up by a large biscuit oncer in Ger
many. The paper box contained six
delicious crackers with a marmalade
filling, and there was an empty COM
partment for a nice red apple or a
couple Of plums, which of course
were added by the mother Of the
child. These school lunches, exclu-
sive of the fruit, were sold at 5 pfen-
nigs, or about ~ cents.-Bakers

Weddina Cake Pauoda.

At Mingun, or the right bank OF
the 1rrawaddy river, about five miles
from Mandalay, in Burma, there
stands a peculiar pagoda known as
the Wedding Cake Pagoda, because it
looks like a marvelously magnitied
bridal cake. 1t was built in the early
part of the nineteenth century, and is
In thoroughly good preservation, only
a few of the images inside having
been broken. The extreme height to
the top of the minaret is 80 feet and
the circumference about 600 feet. The
pagoda stands back from the river
some 300 feet and is hidden from it
by a grove Of teak trees. Close to it
Is the famous Mingun bell.-Wide

Description Fitted.

Very frequently the winter high
ways IN the Yukon Valley are mere
trails. traversed only by do~g-sledges.;
One Of the bishops in Alaska, who,
was very fond of that mode of travel
encountered a miner coming out with:
his dog team, and stopped to ask him
what kind Of a road he had come
over. The miner responded with a
stream Of forcible and picturesque pro-
family, winding up with: "And what
kind o trail did you have?" Same
as yours" replied the bishop feelingly.

Momentous Meteor,

The old superstition that meteors
portend disaster and specially war had
a confirmation in a remarkable meteor
lately seen in Sicily and various
parts of Italy. Professor Ricco in an
Italian scientific journal describes it
as OF the apparent size Of the moon
and at a mean height of twenty-five
miles, which would make it's diameter
extraordinarily large-about 1885 feet.
Since then the cholera has ragged. bad
weather has damaged crops, floods
have devastated the Vesuvian dis
tricts. Etna has been in eruption, and,
now comes war. A comet could hard,
~ have done worse!-Springfeld Re-

Earth's Core, Iron or Steel?

At a meeting of the S~eismological
association at The Hague, Professor;
Weichert asserted that his studies OF!
the varying velocity of earthquake
tremors, passing through the ~interiori
of the globe, lead to the conclusion,
that the earth consists OF a central.
core of iron or steel, about $3.50 miles
In diameter, surrounded with a stony
shell $50 miles in thickness. Between
the outer solid rind and the inner lay
er OF rock covering the metallic core,
he thinks there is a layer OF liquid,
or plastic material, lying a little less
than twenty miles below the surtacei
OF the earth.

NO NUTRITION IN ALCOHOL
Problem Of Food Value ls Condensed.
Into Mitchell by the Medical
Times Of New York.

The Medical Times of New York
condenses the alcohol questions into
this nutshell:
The problem of the food value of al
cohol does not seem, after all. to have
been finally resolved by Professor At
water. A German psychologist of high.
standing. Professor K%assowitz, has
lately published the details of an ex-
perimental Investigation which has
led him to precisely the opposite con-
clusion. A certain number of dogs
were given definite amounts of food
some with and without alcohol, and
required to take q stated amount of
exercise each day in a running ma
chine. These trials and several 9th
ers Of a like nature were repeatedly
carried out, and it was found that the;
recorded results were uniformly
against the alcohol-fed dogs. both asj
to the amount of work accomplished,
and changes in weight. The author Isl
of the opinion that no food material!
can be used In the body without be-
ing first concerted into protoplasm.
Since alcohol. being a stimulating and,
poisonous substance, destroys the
highly complex and unstable proto-
plasmic molecule, 1t cannot at the
same time be assimilated by it, con-
PeQuently 1t cannot act as a food and
p poison simultaneously. After a COM
p~aratively short period, alcohol para
1yxes tho center of innovation of the
muscles and therefore, by diminishing
the amount of muscular action, the Sc
erection OF carbonic acid is %lessened.
The diminished secretion, consequent
~, means no saving of the tissues OF
the body. but is a direct result of the
poisonous action of alcohol. Kasso-
wife Is convinced that under no cir
cumstances a alcohol act in a nutri.
tive manner. Such is the latest au-
thoritative pronouncement on this sub
bect from the worlds scientific CEN
ter. What do We learn from the facts
Of human experience? Daily observa-
ton shows that all men who drink do
not become drunkards. Those who
are thus unfortunate are not SO be-
cause they are weak in will or morals,
tor men of the highest character
have become inebriates. A man is q
drunkard because he has a nervous
system that is peculiarly susceptible
TO the poisonous qualities of alcohol.
no young man, when he begins the
moderate use of alcoholic beverages,
knows whether or not he belongs to
the class that car drink without dan
ger. He a find this out only by
experiment, and after the experiment
It Is likely to be too late to avert the
disastrous results, against which
strength of character and will is no
safeguard, any more than it would
be against smallpox. Therefore, strict
avoidance of alcoholic beverages is
the logical conclusion, if the gravest
perils are to be avoided.

Benefit In Adversitv.

Adversely frequently develops beau.
ties of the heart just as the night
brings out the stars. The pilot could
pot steer his ship without the pres.
sure of the wave upon the rudder;
the bird could not fly but for the re.
sistance of the air against it's wings;
thus we often seem retarded by what
IN truth helps us on. Trouble, to a good
heart, Is like fermentation to the juice
OF the grape. 1t works itself clear and
leaves nothing but the pure wine.

Buttinq In.

In a small South Carolina town that
was finished" before the war, two
men were playing checkers in the
back of a store. A travelling man who:
was making his first trip to the town
was watching the game, and, not be-
ing acquainted with the business
methods of the citizens, he called the
attention of the owner Of the store to
some customers who had just entered
the front door. "Sh! Sh!" answer
ed the storekeeper, making another
move on the checker-board. Keep
perfectly quiet and they'll go out."-

Signing With a Cross.

Persons who cannot write their
names are required to use as a sub
stitute the sign of the cross (X). An
GENTLY kings and mobiles used the same
sign, but not ignorantly. It was used
by those who could write as we'll as.
by those who could not as a symbol
that the person making it pledged
himself by his Christian faith to the.
truth Of the matter to which he af-
fixed the cross. Hence, although peo-
pie now write or subscribe their
names, they are still said to sign.

How Birds Keen Warm.

The high temperature Of birds en-.
ables them to resist cold effectively.
Blood heat in a mar is 1874 Fahren-

some other birds. In some cases
they feel the cold cruelty, regardless
of their temperatures. Many of the
larger birds have the hottest tempera-
lures, as a great deal of their flying is
done In high attitudes.
