WaInuts Hiqh In Food Value,

The food value of walnuts is very
high. They are very rich in fat, con-
tanning as much as 63 per cent, while
the proteins amount to nearly Is per
cent. 1t has been calculated that 80
large walnut kernels contain as much
fat tas "a 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 $50 grains Of
alcohol, 70 grains of grape sugar. In
the combination, therefore, We have
all the elements which make for a
complete diet-viz.: Fat, protein, car
bohydrate. to which may be added
mineral salts. Port and walnuts after
a meal are therefore, from nutritive
point of view, ridiculous excess"
and may lead to digestive disturban ce.
Both walnuts and port wine contain
tannin. which is unsuited to some con-
situations.

CURIOUS WORK OF PENANCE
Ancient Buddhist Of Japan Writes
10000 Words on Piece Of Paper
10 by 7La Inches.

For some time there has been
shown in San Francisco a piece Of
paper 10 inches by TX inches, on
which there are written 10000 words.
This writing is the work of Kobo
Taishi, Buddhist of Japan, who lived
100 years ago. Before his time his
countrymen used only Chinese char
acters in writing and he evolved the
idea OF the japanese alphabet. ..
The writing on the paper is SO fine
that microscope has to be used to
decipher the intricate Japanese char
acters. 1t is an exact copy Of eight
books of the Buddhist Bible, and
was written by the author as sort Of
penance to purify his spirit. 1t is the
property of descendant of the writer,
and has passed as sacred heirloom
from father to son for thousand
years. Every precaution has been
taken to insure the safety Of the
document. In case Of white wood Is
q beautiful laquered box wrapped In
green elk. Within the laquered box
is another made Of a very light porous
wood that Is extensively used IN the
manufacture Of cabinets in which to
store treasures. In this box is the
precious writing.

kiln happened to be wet of course
the melted iron flew in all direc-
tions. Luckily the workers were
some distance from the kiln or they
would have been seriously burned.
Mr.. Busey, who had his back to the
kiln, was struck by the hot iron on
several places on his back. His shirt
was almost burned from his back.
He also received few small burns
on his body, as the hot iron burned
through his clothes. AS he was
holding one side Of the big ladle
filled with the hot iron and could
not lay it down, owing to the damp
ness Of the ground, he was forced to
stand and let the burning continue
on his body until Mr.. Ermels could
take both handles and dispose Of the
ladle. Mr.. Ermels then siezed the
plug and replaced it in the spout of
the kiln.
Mr.. Ermels escaped very luckily.
Aside from a few holes burned in
his clothes he suffered no i'll effects
from it.

MINCE PIE FOR BREAKFAST
Il Might Pay Those Who Declare 1t 10
.... Wrong to Try It for
Awhile.

When our Puritan ancestors wished
to throw the last touch of cerulean
gloom into the blue laws they enacted
to wit: THAT no one shall make mince
pies, or play any instrument, except
the trumpet, drum, and jew'sharp." As
means of notifying the flesh and
throwing a damper on the joys of tho
world this prohibition of mince pies
was ever regarded as more effective
than placing the aforementioned mu-
steal instruments In unskilled hands.
It afforded almost as much quiet
pleasure to the early New England
conscience as refusing food and lodg-
ing ITO Quakers and ether here
tics" "
When the reaction set in it follow
ed the pendulous law Of reforms and
swung just as far the other way.
The skill in the making Of mince pies
became the very touchstone Of good
citizenship. The recipes always emu
merated the brandy and the currants
and the raisins first and then, as q
sort Of afterthought, made casual men
ton that little finely cut meat
might improve the mince.
But the uncongenial environment I'M
der which the mince pie was born left
upon it superstitious tradition that 1t
was not altogether wholesome. In
spite Of the increasing number Of peo-
pie who survive a second helping this
prejudice obtains here and there unto
the present time.

kind the entire profession would unite
in remembering the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the first manufacture Of pepsin
In this country.
Just half century ago the late John
Carrick, the eminent physiological
chemist and the father Of physiological
products in the United States, made
possible a new epoch in American
medicine by producing the first pepsin.
Pepsin had been made In small
way In Europe before Mr.. Carrick's
enterprise caused it to be introduced
here, as 1t was originally suggested
by DR.. Corvisant Of Paris. The quail
fly was so poor, however, that its use
was distinctly limited.
