CRUST BEST PART or LOAF
Richer Than the crumb, and Stimu.
lates Greatly the Flow OF
Digestive juices.

Shall we eat the crumb of the
bread or the crust? Ever since we
were very young we have been told
that II we ate the crusts our hair
would surely be curly, but now there
seems to be a scientific reason why
we should eat them in preference to
the inside of the bread. Crusts are
really the most valuable part OF the
loaf.
According to Prof Du Bots of Paris
the crust contains less moisture than
the crumb and so is richer in solid
constituents. The crust has also a
more pronounced bready flavor. being
more tasty, and so stimulates better
the flow of digestive juices.
Then. too, the crust is better d.
gested in the mouth because of the
difficulties In masticating 1t. II new
bread We're as thoroughly masticated
as stale or dry bread is bound to be.
there would be no reason why 1t would
be any less digestible.

The tout picked out a tough one
when he tried to interest German in

against poker game In which, mirac.
ulously enough, he won. He went back
and won, and then announced that
he would play no more; the profit sat

yeast business.
He said frankly that he did not un-
derstand the racing game and all its
involved details. but his adviser did
not lose heart. He got hold of him
from time to time. and outlined con
iectured profits. showing what GER

before.
The German listened to this with
diminishing patience, but with no out

to exclaim:

Once Revolutionary.

The latest instance of a general en-
forcement of laws concerning dress
occurred at the time of the French
Revolution, when some rulers of Ger
man states forbade their subject to
wear trousers, these being held to In
dictate revolutionary opinions. The
Elector of Hesse-Cassel. besides pro-
hibiting the obnoxious garments, had
the conviets employed on roadsweep-
ing dressed in trousers, SO as to in
spire disgust for sansculotte fashions.
No general prohibition of this kind
was issued in Prussia, but until 1898
all Prussian officials were restricted to
knee breeches for their neither gar
ments. Trousers were held to be ''un-
becoming to the dignity and gravity
OF the holder of an official position. .

Seals Cut Steps In Ice Cakes.

How seals cut steps in the perpen-
'dicular sides of ice cakes in order TO
rise from the water for the purpose
OF breathing has been recorded by
members of Captain SCOTS antarctic
expedition.
1t was discovered that the seals,
which formerly were supposed to leave
the water by leaping. actually cut
steps In the slippery surface with the
great canine or eye teeth. AS soon
as the teeth are placed in position, the
head is moved rapidly from side to
side until the Ice has been cut away
sufficiently to afford a footing for the
front fiippers of the animal
Each step has to be laboriously cut
after this fashion until the body is far
enough out Of the water to be thrust
up the rest of the way by kick OF the
hind clippers.

METAL OF The STANDARDS
Scientists After Long Research Seem
to Have Evolved Almost Perfect
Alloy for the Purpose.

There are, undoubtedly. no products
OF human skill on which greater de-
gree OF care is expended than the
standards OF weight and measure In
use among the civilized nations Two
things in particular must be consid-
ered-accuracy aud durability. Ma
ture does not. II is contended. furnish
any single metal or mineral which ex.
actly answers the requirements for a
standard of measure or weight that
shall be as nearly rs possible unalter-
able.
II is held that the best substance
yet produced for this purpose is an
alloy of 80 per cent. of platinum with
10 per cent. of iridium. This is called
iridioplatinum; and it is the substance
OF which the metric standards pre-
pared by the international commits
sion of weights and measures are com
posed.
1t is hard 1t is less affected by heat
than any pure metal. it is practically
non-oxidizable. or not subject to rust,
and It can be finely engraved. In fact.
the lines on the standard meters are
hardly visible to the naked eye. yet
they are smooth, even. sharp and &C.
curate.
i Is said that If our civilization
should ever be lost and relics of 1t
should be discovered IN some brighter
age in the remote future there is moth
ing which would bear higher testi-
mony to its character than these
