Walnuts Hiqh In Food Value.

The food value of walnuts is very
high. They are very rich in fat. con-
tanning as much as GO per cent, while
the proteins amount to nearly Is per
cent. 1t has been calculated that 30
large walnut kernels contain as much
tat tas 2& pounds Of lean beef. and
yet the walnut Is used as a supple
ment to a square meal Added to
this the glass of port, say two fluid
ounces, contains besides 1870 grains Of
alcohol, 10 grains of grape sugar. In
the combination, therefore. we have
all the elements which make for a
complete diet-viz.: Fat, protein, car
bohydratc, TO which may be added
mineral salts. Port and walnuts after
meal are therefore, from a nutritlve
point OF view, ridiculous excess"
and may lead to digestive disturbance.
Both walnuts and port wine contain
tannin, which is unsuited to some con.
stitutions.

Then few curious-mlnded persons
who do not know, inquire, "Haggis
What is haggis?'
The answers vary from kind OF
Scotch oatcake to hot drinks. No
body ever seems quite sure what bag
gis really is. One hears vaguely from
guests at Scotch banquets that 1t is
fearsome dish. There is a story OF
the elderly gentleman of rickety d.
gestion who, taking of his overcoat in
a friends house, and smelling haggs
in preparation, remarked: "Eh, but
I'll be bad the morn" The possibil-
ity of refusing this dish apparently
never dawned upon him and, in a
sturdy sort Of fashion. when one is
hungry, the recipe certainly sounds as
though the compound might be fas-
cinating, Here ia the recipe:
A pound each Of liver. onions, tripe,
suet, and cooked pearl barley, and half
pound Of oatmeal with salt and pep
per, are put into Sleeps paunch and
slowly boiled for four hours. That
Is all, in its beautiful simplicity A
French chef in a stuffy kitchen might
faint at the recipe, but a hungry
scotchman thinks It Is the finest dish
On earth.

ClaAISLs udS
IN extensive study of the subject to
discover what causes the condition
known as "a cold" what classes OF
people are subject to this condition
aud who are most nearly exempt, and
why. His conclusions have Just been
published In the European medical
journals.
This doctor acknowledges people do
catch cold. They sit in a draught or
go out in q frigid storm, and get
chilled and the cold did it-with some
encouragement and assistance. Cold
alone cannot do 1t, and those who sub
iect themselves the most to cold are
least liable TO colds. DR.. Zamarae
voices the following conclusions:
Occupations in which an individual
is exposed to continued cold do not
cause any tendency to catching cold
and its sequences.
Persons whose occupations are fol-
lowed In confined places have great
er liability to colds.
'rhe occupant of the closed room
and steam heated apartment Is very
susceptible In his infrequent trips In
TO wintry outer air.
Work that 10 carried on under con-
ditions Of alternating intense beat
and cold does not favor this suscep-
tibIlIty, which shows that the human
being has the power of adapting him
self without injury to extensive Losses
of heat. The limit beyond which the
action of a low temperature disturbs
the normal functions of the body can't
be tested, because II the temperature
falls excessively low freezing occurs,
but not catching cold"
So 1t comes back to this-if you
wish to avoid the disorders and dis
eases that come from catching cold"
live as nearly as possible out doors,
and don't be afraid OF the cold II you
take It In large and frequent doses.

that struggle is precious to both
7ides and should engender a feeling

The battle Of Shiloh. or Pittsburs
Landing. was fouaht on April aud
T. 1862 1t was The first great bat
tie in the west and the greatest bat
tic OF jhat section during the war.
Engaged in largely by raw troops on
both sides, it demonstrated the fight
ing qualities and staying powers of
American soldiers, even though UNI
fsed to war, While many OF the
new men on the Union side huddled
tuder the RIVER bluff in abject fear
and some Of the fresh Confederate
troops struggled away from the bat
lie, most of the men of both armies
fought like veterans,
The history Of the g-ucling fight
in brief as follows: On Sunday
'pril g. the Confederate army under
3en5ral Albert Sidney Johnston at
acked the Union forces commanded
5y General Grant and by a series OF
urious charges drove them back
turing the day between one and two
niles General Lew wallace. who
lad been ordered by Grant to come
p from Crump's Landing, took a
oandalout way and failed TO arrive
"A time to help in the first days
fight. General Buell., who was on
his way to re-enforee Grant, also
failed to arrive till the lighting SUN
day was practically over Toward
the end the Union troops held the
advance in check.
On the following day the tables
were turned, the Union army re-en-
forced by Wallace and Buell., becom-
ing the aggressor and driving the
COnlederatcs until at last General
Reauregard, successor of Johnston,
who had been killed in the fight of
Sunday. ordered q retreat. Thus
the moral effect Of victory was with
the northern army. although the
casualties We're about equal and the
onfederate5 had captured more
prisoners than their foes.
The controversies over The battle
have related chiefly to the assertion
that Buell. saved Grant from de-
5truction. Grant himself has said
hat with Wallace's fresh troops,
who were a part Of his own army.
ne could have won the fight Of Mon
day without Buell..
Certain it Is that Grant checked
the foe on Sunday that he prepared
TO attack first on Monday morning
and that the Confederates then
lacked the leadership Of Johnston, a
l..
host in himself But from this boot
less controversy in the noble Ian
guaga Of the silent Commander Let
rs have peace.
