WHEN THE STOMACH CALLS
Feeling Which Common Humanity
Knows as Hunger Is Explained
Fully by the Scientist.

The answer looks easy. Any small
boy, schoolboy or other. would say,
why hunger is just wanting some
thing to eat and wanting it bad" But
the doctors find that it isn't so easy
1t seems, according to an ex-cathe-
dra utterance in the Journal OF the
American Medical Association, that
emptiness of the stomach has nothing
to do with hunger. 1t is not due
to the secretion of any sort of acid
in the stomach, nor to congestion OF
the gastric glands. Professor Cannon,
in this article in the journal aforesaid,
attributes hunger to contractions OF
the stomach's muscular walls. In the
doctors words: Hunger is normally
the signal that the stomach is con-
tracted for action; the unpleasantness
of hunger leads to eating; eating
starts gastric secretion, distends the
contracted organ, initiates the move
ments of gastric digestion and abol-
ishes the sensation" Here's to the
abolition of the sensation; may there
always be something with which TO
start the gastric secretion!"

Herodotus a Muckraker,

Such as believe the tales of the
Egyptians credible are free to accept
them for history. For my own part, ]
propose to myself throughout my
whole work faithfully to record the
traditions Of the several nations
The Egyptians maintain that Ceres and
Bacchus preside in the realms below.
They were also the first to breach the
opinion that the soul of man is i'm
mortal, and that when the body dies
it enters into the form of an animal
which is born at the moment, thence
passing on from one animal into an
other until it has circled through the
forms of all the creatures which tenant
the earth, the water and the air; after
which it enters again human frame,
and is born anew. The whole period
of the TRANSPORTATION is (they say
three thousand years. There are
Greek writers-some of an earlier,
some of a later date-who have bor-
rowed this doctrine from the Egypti-
ans and put it forward as their own.

Mind and Muscle.

AS the volume Of controllable mus
cular and mechanical energy at his
command has increased, man has
found it necessary to use his own
muscular energy for purposes OF the
control thereof, and even to supple
ment it for this purpose rather than
to use 1t in the actual performance
of the tasks themselves. Hence we
have the large number of officials in
the armies, organized both for warlike
and peaceful purposes. In all OF these
however. the dominating idea, so far
has been that of increasing the
amount Of muscular and mechanical
energy controlled by one master
mind. It is true that many individ-
uals are employed in transmitting di-
rections, in recording operations, etc;
but the central idea permeating every
thing is that the controlling individ-
ual is, or should be, able Of himself
to initiate every movement and make
every decision relating thereto 1t
has always been a problem Of supple
menting muscle rather than of supple
menting mind.-Cassier's Magazine.

Horse Came Back.

A. H. Whitman, a Los Angeles
(Cal.) jeweler, says that a cat may
come back, also a horse. Whitman
owned horse for several years, and
recently deciding that the animal had
outlived its usefulness, he gave a
young man S. to take the equine into
the country and shoot it.
He then decided that he must have
a new steed, so inserted an advertise
ment in the newspapers. Among sew.
eral answers, one especially appealed
to him.
1t stated that the writer possessed
a gentle family horse. and gave de-
scription which sounded good to the
jeweler.
Accordingly, he journeyed to China,
from which town the letter came,
looked over the horse, and bought 1t.
When he got the animal home he no.
ticed something familiar in its actions,
and upon closely examining the ami.
NAL, found it to be the one he had
paid to have shot.

SNAKE cHARMERs OF OLD
Homer and Virgil Mention Them and
Ancient Tablets Show the
Tanned serpents.

Snake tanning Is mentioned by vir-
gil, and Homer refers TO the snake
owned and specially favored by Ajax.
That the Macedonians were on inti-
mate terms with reptiles is shown by
tablets bearing images of women feed
ing serpents. Other tablets show ser
penis twining around columns in the
temple Of Hercules, where they we're
placed by people in token Of gratitude
to the god.
The chariots Of Minerva and Ce-
res were drawn by snakes and snakes
guarded the affairs Of many Of the
gods. On a fragment OF a Pompeiian
fresco a serpent is depicted coiled
in a tree on a stretcher borne by two
slaves.
The guardian serpent was the good
fairy of the antique home and the
watchful guard of the family honor.
Even at the present time the Next
can peasants flock to Cocula from all
the country round about to keep the
feast day of ST. Dominic, the saint who
conferred on man the power to tame
serpents. On st. Dominic's day snake
charmers appear in Cocula bearing adj
ders and other reptiles. In Umbria
the snake is supposed to possess the
power of working miracles.-Harper
Weekly.

Care Of the Eyes.

One of the most important things
to consider in connection with caring
for the eyes is the bath, and this
should preferably be of rain or dis
titled water. A pinch of salt, well
dissolved, adds value to an eye bath
and a most soothing wash, which L
administered in a little eye-cup tina
fits over the open eye, is made by dis
solving a level teaspoonful of pure
boric acid in quart Of filtered or d.
titled water.
Boric acid must be dissolved Il
boiling water. and then added to tn
rest in a quart bottle. Although
everybody knows that one eye ma
often have an ailment not shared b
the other, few remember to refraii
rom using the same cup for bot
eyes without washing II after tn
first has been bathed.--Harper's Be-
nar.

Cooks Accidental Discovery.

One of the best ways of cooking po
tatoes was accidentally discovered
through the unpunctuality Of a train.
When the line from Paris to st. Ger
main was opened the first train car
ried an official party for whom lunch
was ordered.
The meal was fixed for noon, and
shortly before that hour the potatoes
we're put on to fry, A few minutes
efterward a message came that the
train would probably be delayed for
an hour, so the potatoes were taken
off the fire, but left in the pan. Then
came a second message. Train Just
arriving" and the potatoes were hur-
richly put back to fry again.
When the party sat down to lunch
the potatoes were brought on with the
steak. Each chip was then found to
be blown out like small, crisp, gold
en- balloon, to the delight OF the
guests. The cook, without knowing 1t
had invented pommes de terre sour
fees.

To be glad of life, because it gives

MAKES MIGHT CLERK NERVOUS


Sometimes the night clerks Job
has It's drawbacks" remarked the tall,
thin man behind the desk at the hotel.
These weird tales that guests will
tell in the still night"--he went on,
they're one thing that makes a fellow
wish there were more people around.
zone night about o'clock, a guest
came up to the desk and spent an hour
telling me earnestly about the black
cat that had been sitting on the foot
OF his bed. As he talked noticed the
fellow had a queer look in his eye.
"a black cats nothing but a black
cat, but somehow a fellow doesn't
want to hear much about em in the
middle Of the night from a nervous
man with a queer look in his eye. This
man said that the cat came in when
the waiter brought his dinner up to
the room. Then the cat took a chair
at the table opposite him, he said, and
tucked a napkin under its chin.
az asked 1t If It didn't want some
thing to eat the man added, but 1t
said it didn't-politest cat I ever saw
"Great line of talk, wasn't it?
"Then he started in to direct lot
of men building a skyscrapper there
in the lobby. I couldn't see the sky
scrapper, but he did. He had force
of about 200 men hosting stone and
steel, and he bossed the job"
