DENVER. July 2o.-The adoption OF a

Limo salta and Health.

The Berliner Klinische Wochen'
schrift, in an article on the influence
of lime salts on the constitution and
health, speaks of some physicians
who are coming more and more to
believe that the use of calcium (lime)
in various forms is the keystone of
individual hygiene. Reinhardt, q
German physician. quoted, says:
"Neurasthenic, overworked and physi.
cally depressed persons are so rapid.
" healed by the chloride of calcium

cient gratitude. They feel as If new.
ly born. full of zest of life, stronger
and more enduring than ever and
twenty years younger" It is not i'm.
probable that there is here an over
measure of enthusiasm. Many OF
the older physicians will remember
Doctor Brown-Sequard and the Won
derful things that were TO be done
by his discovery in making old fel-
. lows young again. The melancholy
Jacques observed that from hour TO
hour we ripe and ripe and then from
hour to hour we rot and rot'-the

QUESTION REMAINS A PUZZLE
Unable to Tell Just What Country
First Found Value Of
Cotton.

Where lid cotton originate? The
question comes up because Brazil
claims that it is indigenous to the
Amazon valley. 1t is a fact beyond
dispute that cotton, from the earliest
ages of the world. has been grown in
China and for five to ten thousand
years the people of that country have
worn cotton clothes The same is
true of India There is no record OF a
time when the people of India did NOS
wear cotton cloth, at least strip of
ii.
On the American continent the rec
ord is much shorter but equally as
positive The first white men found
cotton cloth a regular dress of the
Indians of Mexico. and the Indians OF
Peru
II is impossible to say where cotton
originated unless 1t was originated on
two continents. The lost Atlantis
may have connected the old world
with the new. and cotton may have
been carried from the new world to
the old, or it may have been brought
to America many thousands of years
ago. All in all we can see no reason
why Brazil should claim the distinc-
ton of having originated cotton.
Neither Peru Mexico. Persia nor Chi
ma would consent to that.
Wool is the oldest of fabrics, cotton
is next and silk third.

TICKLING Az OCEAN MONSTER
Psriicps Ncfk That Is . Prelude to
the Dsata and 1spt0re Of the
Much Dreaded Shark.

Tickling a shark in order to make
the 6sh amenable to capture is sin
gulaT practice among the natives OF
the Island OF Tahiti A writer In the
New York Sun, who watched the ha-
zardous sport while seated in a ca
noe manned by two natives, thus de-
ecribes II: Peering into the clear wa
ter, where you can see TO a depth OF
five fathoms. you catch a glimpse far
down among the sea ferns and coral
cups of the long. 1.-the tail OF a shark,
and Of huge pectoral fin that sways
continually with a sidewise motion,
and sends up little ripples TO the sur
face
The native diver picks up coil OF
cocoanut fiber with a slipnoose al
ready tied in it, seizes a knife in his
teeth and quietly slips into the water
1t is done with wonderful skill The
native keeps close TO the reef. and
let's himself down through the water
by means OF the sea growths till he
is right over the waving tail Slow
~ a black hand stretches out. and
starting behind the pectoral fin, be
gins t6rstroke the sea tiger There is
a faint movement of the body, and the
hn sways more rapidly
Again the hand moves forward, and
as it strokes the fish the other hand
leaves the slipknot hanging loosely
near the spread of the tail Then the
native comes quietly TO the surface,
and the spectator breathes freely
again. The sail is set, the steersman
takes his place on the outrigger and
the diver in the bow, with a yell OF
HULA pulls hard on the rope.
On the occasion that speak of the
shark splashed about the wild frenzy
for a moment or two and then settled
down to tour of the lagoon. Twice
he circled about, and the canoe plow-
cd along, with the water bubbling and
frothing at the bow, where the keen
eyed native intently watched the tight
ening rope. Suddenly it slackened,
and the diver went over the side like
a fash with knife in his hand, A
minute later the surface of the water
was brilliant red, and the native
was scrambling back into the canoe

HAVE A SENSE OF MEMORY
Experiments Prove That Horses Are
Capable Of Remembering Either
Pleasure or Pain.

The horse is generally considered a
stupid animal, and so he is about
many things. But he certainly has a
mind of kind. A correspondent in
the Glasgow, Scotland, News, tells OF
an animal which conveys his majesty S
mails from the postoffice to the sta
ton, and he is actually capable of cal
culating particular runs.
II is the practice of his driver TO
lunch previous to taking away the
sixth load of mail and, being rather
deficient in molars himself, his horse
falls heir to the crusts of his masters
piece" Occasionally, for the delec-
tation of the staff, he endeavors to de-
part with the sixth load without eat
ing the lunch or handing over the
crusts; but his calculating horse can
not be induced, even with chastise-
ment. to leave until the customary
feed has been forthcoming.
The same animal on another run
enjoys delicacy in the form Of ba-
mana skins at the station, and should
the supply of skins ever run out. let
ters would be DELAYED.
Some horses show by their man
ners that they don't forget when they
have suffered pain from operations,
such as firing and docking.
