Snail Lives Without Air.

While the snail has lungs, heart

said Leppert, the removal Of oxygen,

consider the snail as one among the
great host of 'organized creatures"
for experiments by Spallanzani have
proved that any or all the usual life
conditions can be removed in the case
of the snail without terminating its
existence or in any way impairing it's
functions. The common snail retreats
into his shell on the approach Of
frosty weather, and the opening or
mouth of its shell is Theoretically seal

plain that it is deprived of three of

EAT CHOCOLATE WITH FRUIT
Ideal Food Combination According to
Writer Who Claims to Know
Whereof He Speaks.

Some silly things have recently
been said about chocolate, which have
attempted with some air of authority
to discount its value as an article OF
food, says the Lancet. Practical ex-
perience of course long ago decided
IN favor of the view that chocolate ID
good sustaining food, and this find
ing is not surprising, having regard to
the food substances which well-made
chocolate contains.
Chocolate has been employed for
Its staying powers and it's nutritive
properties with considerable success
In army maneuvers.
chocolate can only do harm, in COM
mon with all good foods, when eaten
to excess. Chocolate contains from
q to about 60 per cent of sugar,
from 20 to As per cent of fat, from A.
to IL per cent Of heterogeneous matter,
from 2 TO per cent of mineral mat.

food and stimulant.
Thus far the Lancet. Now comes
DR.. j. Sim Wallace, an eminent Lon.
don dentist, with q letter asserting
that chocolate does a vast amount of
harm, especially to the teeth, by being
eaten between meals and before going
to bed. He says it should be eaten
toward the end Of a meal and should
always be followed by fresh fruit.

Enforced Temperance

"You can't drink rum and run trains"
says the General Superintendent OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad, in speaking OF the
effort made by the company to weed out
from among the employees men who are
addicted to strong drink.
In this age of grinding competition
there are several men ready and waiting
to fill the shoes of a holder of good job.
No man in a responsible place can afford
to befuddle his brain with srrong drink.
He can't afford thus to handicap his use
fitness, even il he can afford to devote a
part OF his income to satisfying thirst.
More and more every year big corpo'
rations. and little ones too, are banning
users OF strong drink, and the demand of
railroad companies that an employe on
whose clcarness of wits depends the safe
ty OF thousands of patrons is more eff
fective in teaching temperance than tenn
perance tracts.

That Some Have Held.

AS the result of investigations car
ried out by the New Zealand depart.
ment of labor among 1000 household
ers, it was found that the worker with
no family spends very nearly the same
sum weekly on food as the heads Of
families, but saves in rent, clothing
and other items, and at each week end
has surplus of SO cents, says the
London Globe. Apparently he buys
more luXuries in the way of food
than his coworker who has a family,
and his average expenditure on cloth
ing is also higher. The family man.
pays 81 more rent a week, II cents
more on food, % cents on clothing and
67 cents on other items His fuel
and light expenses, however, are rela.
lively lighter to the extent of 20
cents per week. The worker, however.
has no surplus at the week end The
figures generally indicate, as may be
expected, the favorable position, as
far as expenditure is concerned, of the
families possessing few, if any, chill

In answer to the Complaints of delay
which have been pouring in from appli-
cants for pensions under the socalled
dollar-a-day act of May 1 1 last, James
L. Davenport Commissioner of Pensions,
has explained that the pension office is

"From May IL to the end of June 46S,-

that we have adjudicated more than
