DIET AND HEALTH.

Turnip tops are too often despised,
but when cooked until tender and pre-
pared in the same way as the more
expensive spinach their delicious ia
vor may be appreciated to the full.
Cooling and blood purifying. 1t is a
false economy to ignore the many
cheap salads. vegetables and fruits pro-
vided for US In the field of nature.
Fish is very digestible and can often
be taken when meat would nauseate a
person who is below par" or just re-
covering from an illness.
A dish common In France, but rare
In this country. is cooked watercress.
II should be treated in the same man

The Reason Blood From = Cut clots
and Plugs the Wound.

The Reason Blood From > Cut clots
and Plugs the Wound.
Why is It that the boy who cuts his
finger with a jacknife making a will
low whistle does not bleed to death?
AS a matter of fact, he may If he is
what the medical profession call a
"bleeder," a condition of things by no
means rare and n which every sur
geon who undertakes to do even the
most minor operation must inform
himself about. The bleeder or hemo-
philiac, as the doctor calls him, is al
ways In immediate danger of just this
kind of accident because his blood is
lacking in the CLOTHING principle known
as fbrinogen.
This principle is a gift from good
Mother Nature, or a kind Providence,
IL you choose, and exists for no other
purpose than the saving Of human life.
When a wound deep enough to injure
a vein or artery is made through the
skin the blood pours out In consider
able quantity, but in a few minutes
the current lessons and a congeaing
mass begins to appear. This means
that the hbrin is catching the blood
corpuscles and holding them fast like
fish caught In a net The semisolid
clot thus formed is the solder which a
plumber fuses upon a leaking pipe.
To be sure. this Is not a perfect
mechanism, for If bleeding is coming
from a fair sized artery the blood will
squirt out into space. and 40 clot can
form since it is too quickly washed
away. Here, however. by another ON,
sentative process the blood pressure is
reduced, as a result of which the ar
terry begins to contract owing to the
elasticity of its walls and to influence
of the v system. and in this way
the hemorrhage will finally cease.
The clot left in the wound soon be
gins to contract Water serum is
forced out. and the remaining sub
stances hold the wound firmly ms If in
a splint. Then come the blood cor
puscles, bringing the materials neces
sary for reconstruction of the 'blood,

SMART CLOVES
FOR AUTUMN
Long Ones Are Likely to Be a Ia
Mode Until Winter Garments
Are Donned--- White Expected
to Be Popular With Limited
Favor For Colors.

@HHE present vogue of long
gloves will continue during
the early fall months, gradual
ly giving way to short gloves,
says the Dry Goods Economist. After
Dec. / fully 80 per CEN of the gloves
sold will be of the wrist length.
Tailor made suits are to be largely
worn. Even the dresses, with the ex-
ception of those for evening wear, will
have full length sleeves and will be
semiftted.
Separate waists, too, which r cut
on tailored or semiitted lines will also
have full length sleeves. SO that these
as well as the suits and the dresses will
require short gloves.
With tailored effects prominent in
garments it is clear that gloves of man
nish appearance will be In request dur
ing the new season.
Piques, which have been gradually
growing In favor during the last two
years. ought to do exceptionally well
throughout the fall and winter. Cape
gloves should again become widely
popular, and mochas, notwithstanding
their higher cost, will sell more freely.
Confidence in the future Of embroid-
cred backs appears to be strong. Not a
few glove departments anticipate that
close to 30 per cent of their leather
glove business during the next season
will be In embroidered backs.
Quite a variety of novelty effects
have been brought out in embroidered
goods. and many more fancy backs are
vet to arrive.
Under the head of colors it is a safe
prediction that white will again strong
~ dominate the situation. The usual
proportion Of black will be distributed,
and there will be a limited amount of
business done in browns. dark tans.
taupe, navy blue and dark green.

He Was Badly Scared.
During his early diplomatic career
while be was attached to the embassy
Ia Stockholm Henry Labouchere fought
a duel.
There was a want of logic about
the entire proceeding that went to my
heart he confessed later. ITO be kill
ed is bad enough. but to be killed para
logically is worse. l never felt more
dismal In my life"
Paradoxical the combat certainly
was, since Labouchere had been the
challenger. his ground of offense being
that his antagonist. an Austrian officer.
had presumed to criticize the British
minister for having given social coun-
tenance to a fellow Briton who. disap-
proving of duels, had recently declined
a challenge from conscientious scru-
pies. The young diplomat, asserting
with spirit that bis chief had behaved
properly and that Englishmen were not
SO silly as to fight duels, had left the
rest to his seconds-and found himself
pledged to fight the next morning with
pistols at Z o'clock. He had hoped for
an apology, and admits he was dismay-
ed; but be did not allow his feelings to
be OWNED. and duly made his appear
ance upon the field of honor.
1.-THE Austrian stood apart; I stood
apart. The surgeon already eyed me
as a subject The seconds consulted:
then the Frenchman stepped out
twelve PAGES. He had very short legs,
and they seemed to be shorter than
ever. After this came the loading OF
the pistols. Sometimes. l thought, sec.
onds do not put in the bullets. That
comforted me. but only for a moment,
for the bullets were rammed down
with cheerful energy. By this time we
had been placed facing each other. A
pistol was given to each of us. I am
to give the signal said the Prus-
sian. 4 shall count one. two, three.
and then at the word fire you will both
fire. Gentlemen. are you readyT We
both nodded One, two, three, ireF
and both our pistols went of. No harm
had been DONE"
He thought it was all over, when his
opponent. stepping up. remarked that
be supposed he ought to allow him q
second shot, but. should nothing come
OF 1t. he would not consent to a third.
Reluctantly on the part Of both partici-
pants a second shot was fred, and they
both missed-if indeed either had aim
ed-again. Then Labouchere boldly de-
manded a third shot
.sThe seconds consulted together. For
a moment | feared they were going to
grant my request. and was greatly
relieved when they informed me they
considered that two shots were amply
sufficient l was delighted, but / pre-

SAVING the Kitchen Table.

The housewife who does her own
cooking will find it the greatest saver
of labor to keep a bit of board on the
end of her kitchen table. on which to
cut vegetables, slice bread, set hot
saucepans or anything of the sort in
stead Of directly on the nice white oil
cloth. with which the neat woman
covers her kitchen table. Oilcloth Is
commended because it is SO easily kept
clean. always looks nice and makes a
kitchen appear like what it should be,
the most enticing room In the whole

SHARP DECLINE NOTED
IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE

INV Aohhfk6 JOURNAL tFtCiAt hA<seb WtHEl
New York. Sept. A notable
event of the day was the abrupt de-
cline witnessed in foreign exchange.
London exchange falling to 500 Ia
and demand to SOL LIZ.
These quotations represent de-
clines of as much as five cents on the
pound sterling from the highest rates
of the week and are believed to result
directly from the outcome of negotia-
lions between New York City officials
and banking group, which is said to
have agreed to finance all of New
York's foreign obligations maturing
between this and the expiration Of the
year. IS
Call money was offered at 6 per
cent by representative Canadian
banks. which.stipulate however, that
fully 50 per cent collateral in excess
of the loan would be required. As
these terms were almost prohibitive,
little money was loaned The market
for time loans continued around 8
per cent. ~
Money brokers see no indication OF
a pronounced hardening of the mar
ket unless the foreign conflict should
be unduly prolonged. The saving
clause in the local situation, they say,
is the fact that comparatively few
loans to brokers have been called,
while the immediate needs of that
element have been reduced to slender
proportions by the settlement OF prac-
tically all Of the business transacted
on July 30.

Tomorrow will say:
There is further abatement of the
tension in financial circles although
money continues very firm and new
business is still closely restricted to
urgent needs. The disorganization Of
ioreign exchange is slightly less
marked, International banking ar
Iahgemeats slowly but gradually Inn
proving. Efforts to restore more nor
mai transportation facilities with for
s'sh markets are meeting with graft
4s'hg success, Shipments Of grain
abroad are becoming more extensive
a''a buying for foreign account con-
nnues heavy. The higher prices in
uueeu by these purchases caused a
sohsiderable expansion in offerings
y wheat from the country. and these
sa'es abroad will hasten return to
more normal conditions In intefna-
s'onai exchange. Considerable irreg-
s'aIity Is manifest IN reports from the
