IND0RSE WATER WITH MEALS
Medical Association Journal Says That
1t Promotes a Secretion Of Gas-
trio jules.

To an inquiry about the effect Of
drinking water with meals, the editor
of the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association replies:
1.-THE immediate effect of water dur
ing a meal is certainly one Of dilutiOn.
However, this fact has been over
emphasized by those who are adverse
to the drinking Of water with meals,
for it has been shown Individually by
several investigators. working on dog
and man, that water itself promotes a
secretion of gastric-juiee, and that
when water is given shortly before or
with a meal it has very definite eff
feet in increasing the secretOry re-
Spouse Of the stomach as regards vol
ume of juice and acidity. A given
amount Of water has less and less
effect on gastric secretion the longer
the time interval between the meal
and the giving of water" (Sutherland).
Ivy has likewise found that the in
gestiOn of water with the meal in
creases the amount and the free and
total acidity Of the gastric Juice. Incl
dentally, the ingestion Of water with
meals decreases the emptying time OF
the stomach.

First PhrsneloaIss unpopulsr.

The man who originated the science
Of phrenoIogy had to leave not only
his land, but also one Of Its neighbOrS
and seek shelter among strangers.
This was Franz Joseph Gall, Ger
man scientist, who was born in 1758
From the fatherlaRd he went to VI
emma, and there, at the famous uni
versity Of that city, delivered his first
great lecture on his pet subject. This
ws9 in 1875. For a while he was mere
ly stdiculed, but before long somebody
be an to feel that his theory might not
beSn keeping with what the Bible said,
and in 1905 the Austrian government
interdicted his lectures as dangerous
to religion, and Gall came near tast-
ing prison fare in an Austrian Jail.
France, cradle Of freedom, beckOned
him. He went there in 1907 and re-
manned in Paris to the day Of his
death, surrounded by pupils and appre-
Ciative colleagues.

NUMBERS THAT PEOPLE LIKE
Results of Curious Inquiry Into the
Preferences of Inhabitants of
Various Countries.

There has been announced in France
the result of a curious investigation
concerning preferred numbers" Of the
inhabitants Of different countries.
The basis of the investigation is a
study Of the various denominations
of money, postage stamps and other
measures.
It appears that nearly all races
show a marked preference for the
numbers "two," "three" and five"
and their multiples. But the Moham-
medans avoid the number three"
Neither in Turkey nor in Persia. it
appears, does one find a trace of this
number, and it is scarcely found in
Egypt.
Among the French and other Latin
peoples "two" and 'five" are more
popular than "three," while the Eng
lish prefer "two" and ''three" and the
Germans 'three" and save"
The Chinese resemble the Latin
race in their choice, while the people
Of India have a strong liking for
''twO." The number "seven" is most
used in Russia and other Slavic coun-
tries. The higher numbers are not
much used except In Spanish coun-
tries, as "eleven" in Salvador, "seven-
teen' in Mexico, nineteen in Spain,
and "thirty-one" in Guatemala. The
people Of Hawaii are said to be quite
fond Of thirteen"

susInsssllke Toads

After lizards, batrachians are likely
to be the popular favOrites; indeed, I
prefer a couple Of wise old natter
jack toads to anything else, a writer
says In the London Express.
Their manner when about to take
meal may not be graceful, but it is de-
Cidedly businesslike. A few strides
take the natterjack alongside his prey
"a nice fat worm.
He arches his neck and waits for an
other sign Of life; then, unseen. his
tongue fiicks out and with a series Of
very pronounced swallows" the eyes
sinking into the head each time, the
moTseI gradually disappears.
Flies are great favOrites with batra-
chians of all sorts and I have now a
pair Of natterjaczs that will sit side by
side in my hand and flick the insects
off the window pane.

EnuIiah Roads.

Four times only in English history
has there been a studied effort to pro-
vide new roads or improve the road
system. The Romans built the great
military roads, like Waiting street, by
which In part the modern mOtOrist
travels from Liverpool to London and
then there was a lapse Of HOO years
until Elizabeth. 1t Is curious that
neither Alfred nor William the Con
queror nor Edward nor Warwick the
kingmaker should have set himself to
rOadmaking, the first need Of every
army, but so it was. The El5zabethan
effort was only one symptom Of the
new progressive public spirit to which
England owes the Elizabethan poor
law and a revival. If not a recreation,
Of the ordered life of shire and village.

Steal RarraIa.

If the statements Of the makers are
we'll founded, it is probable that steel
barrels will eventually take the place
of wooden ones. The steel barrel is
composed of slaves of that material
locked together by an ingenious de-
vice; the hoops and heads are also Of
steel. It is claimed that the steel bar
rel is more durable and more compact
than the wooden one. AS 1t is said
to be lighter and cheaper, 1t has all
ready had favor In various quarters.
About 8OO,OOO,OOO barrels are needed
annually, In normal times, to supply
the demand in the United States.
Flour mills win use about 90,00O,OOO,
the sugar industry 100000, and the
cement industry 100000.

HOW A CRAB CHANGES SUITS
He Withdraws Painfully From His Old
Shell and Then Quickly Grows
Another.

How does a crab grow? Does his ar
NOR increase in size to accommodate
his body as it becomes larger and
larger? AS a matter Of fact it does
not; the shell never alters at all. The
crab, like a growing boy, requires a
new suit every now and then to cover
his growing limbs.
He grows slowly inside his shell, I'M
til a day comes when he simply cannot
bear it any longer, says a writer Then
he retires to the safest hiding place
that ne can find, and a curious process
begins. Grasping a tuft of seaweed
firmly with his legs, he begins to move
his body about inside his shell. In a
short time a crack appears across the
back. Through this the crab gradu-
ally heaves out his soft body.
Then, after a short rest, he sets to
work on the long business of unsheath-
ing his claws, legs and feelers, each Of
which is drawn out of its armOred COW
ering; just as a sword is pulled from
the scabbard.
Your crab is now the most defense
less creature imaginable; not only is
his body as soft as butter, but he is
quite unable to move, for the unshell-
ing process has completely exhausted
him.
He remains perfectly still, trusting
that he is well concealed from foes.
And as he waits you see him growing.
There was not room for much expan-
sion inside the shell, so he makes up
for lost time once he is out of it.
In a short time a new shell begins
to form, and before many weeks have
passed he is as full armored as ever,
and several sizes larger.

nnuhIn Charity.

Little Jackie took the church cOllee-
ton very seriously, and every Sunday
morning he saw that his penny was
ready.
One day, just as the collection was
being taken up, Jackie noticed that a
guest in the family pew was not duly
provided.
Sliding along the seat, he whispered:
"Where's yeur pennyP
81 didn't bring one" replied the lady.
Time was short, and the matter was
urgent, but Jackie came to a decision
with great promptitude.
Thrusting his penny into the lady's
hand, he whispered:
"Here, take mine! It'll pay for you,
and I'll get under the seat"

How sand Dunes Travel.

In the desert Of La Joya, Peru,
there are thousands Of cressent-shaped
sand dunes, formed by the winds, and
slowly advancing across the level sur
face. One investigator measured one
Of these dunes, the points Of whose
crescent were 100 feet apart, while the
length round the convex side was AT
feet. The width at the widest part OF
the crescent was more than 100 feet.
The weight of the sand composing the
dune was estimated at 5000 tons, yet 1t
moved 125 feet in a year. All the
dunes have the same form, and all
have the convex side toward the pre-
yailipg south winds.

.FRANKLIN's TICKLE "DEBBlE"
She Became AnotheTs Wife in His
Absence, but He Married Her
Anyhow.

Soon after his arrival in Philadel-
phia, Benjamin Franklin went to live
with the parents of Deborah Read,
who later became his wife, and it was
not long before he and Deborah be-
came ged. Their marriage plans
were interrupted by the necessity Of
Franklin's visiting London.
His stay in England was longer
than expected, but Benjamin remained
faithful to his "dear child" as he
always called her, and returned to
America, anxious to hasten the we'd
ding. What was his grief and aston
ishment when, upon his arrival in
Philadelphia, he learned that his
"Debbie." less steadfast than himself,
had succumbed to the wiles Of a
fascinating ne'er-do-weu named
Rogers, who had loved her briefly
and gone away. The deserted
Deborah once more turned her affeC-
lions towards Franklin who forthwith
married her. It is asserted by some
historians that Deborah took her
famous husband without the formality
Of divOrcing her first one, but that
fact has never been definitely estab-
lished.
The Franklins once they had
weathered the pre-marital storms,
lived happily together. Deborah,
described by historians as an illit-
crate, superstitious woman, seems to
have held her husbands interest des-
pite this great intellectual discrep-
ancy.

River District, in British Columbia, is
printed in shorthand.
The origin Of this enterprising six
teen-page weekly Newspaper arose
through the labors of French-Can-

teaching himself the Indians vocabu-
larry he experienced difficulty in not
ing down the sounds used by the ma
tives in pronouncing their words.
Then he thought of shorthand signs,
and found them admirably fitted for
