Hurried Ealing and Constipation.

Hurried eating is a common con-
tributing cause Of constipation as
we'll as other ills. When the food is
not properly masticated more ener-
gy is required in the upper part OF
the alimentary canal to reduce it to
the condition necessary for complete
digestion, and in cases in which the
vitality is depleted this may seri-
ously cripple the activity of the
lower alimentary canal as to con-
tribute largely to the atomic condl-
ton, which is large factor IN such
cases. When the food is not fully
masticated it is held back in II e
stomach, and this also has ten
dency to establish sluggish action,
which contributes to the condition
favorable to constipation While
thorough mastication will not cure
those cases which may be largely
due to bad mental condition, excess
sive mixing of food, lack Of exer-
else, overwork, too concentrated
food or some physical defect Of the
intestine, it is an important factor,
and more careful mastlcation will
contribute to improvement in all

your kidneys are out of order. Neg

Red Horses.

Sometimes horse after an illness
turns different color. A lady in
France who possess splendid sorrel
horse found on its recovery from ty-
phoid fever that its sparse hair grew
an intense black. A young black
horse trained for the race course
wes recently taken i'll, put out to
pasture and doctored for some time.
1t ultimately recovered and was as
we'll as ever, but it's shining black
coat had become an unusually spark
ling red. A young lady in America
at 16 possessed chestnut horse, went
away to boarding school and on her
return found that the color Of her
horse was changing, as she called it,
like regular checker-board, J"
with nc definite illness to account
for it,
Veterinary surgeons give all sorts
Of explanations for the changes of
color observed in the hair Of horses.
One. at the Pasteur Institute in
Paris. has announced his opinion
that the coloring matter is affected
by little changes in some minute and
mysterious organs in the abdomen
answering to the suprarenal cap
sules. When theses are affected the
horse undergoes some developmental
change, the nature Of which is not
yet precisely understood.
The same thing, to some extent, is
noticed in the skin of man. Cobalt
mines seem to affect Workers-to
tint their compilations and to change
the color of their hair. And this
also happens in factories where dye
stuffs are handled, the hair Of such
men and women often taking on a
distinct blush tint. Braziers and
copper smelters now and then find
their boards and mustaches turning
green.-London Lit-Bits.
