CHOCOLATE AS A FOOD.
1t Should Be Eaten After and Never
Before Meals.

Chocolate is one of the most whole
some of foods. But it should be re-
served for eating after meals. Nothing
can be worse than chocolate eaten
just before IL meal. for then it ruins
the appetite. Chocolate should consist
Of equal parts of sugar and cocoa.
When it contains, as most Of that sold
in the cheap candy stores does. more
sugar than cocoa it loses much Of its
real food value.
kocnig. the great German chemist,
who has lone so much to %enlighten the
world on the value of foods by publish
ing his analysis of them, says that
chocolate contains 6.27 per cent of pro-
tein, 90 per cent of theobromine, 21.2O
per cent of fat, 1876 per cent OF tar
taric acid 53.TO per cent OF sugar, 4.07
per cent of starch. 1.G7 per cent of Gel
luloSe and $50 per cent Of other car
bohydratcs. Therefore it is highly nu-
tritivc.
Athletes, polar explorers and noun
tain climbers know this well. In the
Swiss Alps it is usual to carry choco-
late in the pocket and to eat a little
of 1t whenever the climbers pause for
n rest. But chocolate is fattcning and
should therefore be escheWed by those
who have n tendency to too great cor
pulency. 1t is an ideal addition to the
diet Of a vegetarian.
Chocolate and cocoa are almost as
stimulating as coffee and tea. but have
none Of the injurious effects upon the
nervous system which are for many
people the great drawbacks of these
drinks.
Chocolate is best when made over
night and allowed to stand.-New York

HUMUs IN THE SOIL.
This Valuable Substance lis Due to the
Presence of Bacteria.

We find a vast difference in the fer
tility of different soils, writes G. l..
Macarthur, assistant bacteriologist. Ida
ho experiment station. For instance.
sand, although it may contain all the
elements necessary for plant food, is
still found barren N without vegeta-
ton. Garden soils. however, may con-
tain less plant food than the sand and
still be considered very fertile. This
difference is usually due to the sub.
stance known as humuS. Where the
humuS is present the different ele-
ments are present in u form that plants
can use. This humus is the remains of
previous plants and animals. When
plants die that part which is not used
for commercial purposes usually goes
back to the soil. In much the same
way Il great deal of the animal body
reaches the soil.
AS soon as this material reaches the
soil it is attacked by millions of bacte.
ria, which are known as the decompo-
sition bacteria. These bacteria soon
cause IL great many changes in the ma
terial. each change tending to break
uoNh III 'OIllItN III lllc llOIc Slll1-
pie compounds. y part of this material
is set free in the form of gases and is
lost in the atmosphere. but the greatest
part remains in the soil us Il partly de
composed mass and is known as hu
mus.
Different classes of bacteria continue
their work OH this material after it has
reached the form of humus. decompos.
ing it still further and building plant
food and other substances from it.
Thus we see that humus is continually
changing, 1t is never the same in two
different fields, and it also differs from
year to year in the same field.
The addition of manure to n field
does Il great deal toward the formation
of humus. 1t not only adds decompos-
ing matter to the soil, but it also adds
large numbers of bacteria which form
humus out of the material already in
the soil. Thus we find that if it were
not for the work of bacteria there
would not he any humus, rs the various
plant III animal matter would not de-
cav.

A KNIGHT In Topooats.

The late Sir Tatton Sykes, saws the
Manchester Guardian. had II way of
his own of taking his walks comfort
ably. a visitor in the neighborhood OF
Sledmere would see the baronet set out
for his morning round wearing two or
three ovcrcoats, When he felt warm
enough he would take off first one and
then another and lay it on the nearest
hedgerow. The person who found an
overcoat and returned it to the house
always received the reward Of a shil-
ling, and no doubt the Sledmere boys
were willing scarchers.
