The Dickens Memorial Fund.

Minneapolis Journal: OF the grand
daughters of Charles Dickens FIVE are
living, and they are all poor. Eng
lish admirers of Dickens set out some
time ago to raise a fund to be pre-
scented to them on Feb. 7, the Tooth
anniversary of Dickens birth. Am
erica was appealed to for help. and
Joseph II. Choate took the chairman
ship of the American committee. He
sent out 10000 appeals and confesses
that he has raised barely $1,000.
Meanwhile the English committee
has collected e $4,000.
The Dickens business seems to have
been mismanaged in this country.
The public was led to believe that
there was some kind Of q memorial
to be erected. The existence of a plan
for a gift to his descendants was
vigorously denied. At the same time,
a good deal was made of the fact
that there were children and grand
children OF Charles Dickens in the
world and poor.
The public vas puzzled, and began
to feel that It was not being treated
candidly. The movement dried w
from that time. 1t would have been
more fortunate for the grandchildren
Of Dickens IL the people of America
had been taken into the confidence D,
the committee from the beginning
They would not be slow to subscribe
70 a fund for the descendants Of this
man who had given them 80 nucf
pleasure.
Although Dickens made . large
fortune out of his books, fortunes
take wings. and this one appears Il
have been d~issipated while the mem,
ory OF Dickens was still warm IN tho
hearts OF the EngIish-speaking world
The work ought to be undertaken

THE VIRTUES OF MENU MAKING.

In the arrangement OF the dinner
menu. we would without much thought
upon the matter, consider the arrange
ment of the course more matter of
custom than of good reasons founded
upon the physiology of digestion.
The canape appeals to the sense of
smell. which is of such importance in
the digestive operation. Caviar. an
chovy or any combination used for the
canape appeals especially to the sense
Of smell, which stimulates flow Of
saliva. the taste of oyster. clam. lob
ster, is also stimulating to the flow
of saliva.
The next course in an ordinary din
ner is soup, and here we find rea-
son for its being. The broth. which
contains meat extractives, Is one of
the most powerful stimulants to the
flow of gastric Juices. The entree,
which follows the soup is merely neg
atively valuable, saving time which
allows the gastric juices to be Sc
creted in sufficient quantities to act
on the heavier foods which follow.
The dessert. which follows. is usu-
that which has preceded 1t.
The old idea that foods were
churned and mixed in the stomach
and then expelled is quite correct.
Scientists tell us that only the food
which lies next to the mucuous lining
of the stomach is acted upon by the
gastric juice, and that the first food
taken into the stomach takes that po-
sition and remains there until ex-
PEELED into the small intestines. Each
addition of food takes its position, SO
that the last eaten lies in the center.
where 1t is not reached at all by the
stomach juices. II 1t is pastry. the
time is occupied by the action upon 1t
by the saliva. which digests starch. 80
that it is fully prepared to be ex-
PEELED when the time arrives. II the
center food could be reached at once
by the gastric juices Its digestion
would at once be arrested. as the gas
trio juice, being acid. destroys the al
kaline OF the saliva. The whole proc
eSs of digestion is SO wonderful and
our menus are SO well arranged to
follows its laws, that menu making az
We follow 1t is really science OF
right living.
