STILL GOVERNED BY INSTINCT
Mankind's Descent From Count
less Ages of Savage Ancestors.

Deep down somewhere in the inner
nature of all men and women, the in
stinctS. habits. and forces still remain,
which made up the life of our primal
ancestors countless ages ago. We no.
tice this frequently in the unconscious
hereditary actions of the lower an
imals Just as one instance, it is very
common to see dog turn round sew
eral times before lying down on a
hearthrug, as if preparing a sleeping
place in some long grass; that act
has been quite unnecessary for many
long centuries, yet the domesticated
and highly intelligent animal even now
retains this habit of it's wild progeni-
tors. 1t is also more than probable
that the universal fondness for throw
ing stones so inherent in all boys is
another dormant memory handed down
from the far-away times of the Stone
age, when our primeval forebears used
stones, either artificially-shaped or 9TH
erwiSe, as weapons of attack and de-
Tense, or for killing small game for
food, etc. Girls never want to throw
stones, and if they try they are not
able to do so with an effect. This,
l think, proves that the women of old
never acquired the art, and we get
slight peep into their manner of life
by this one fact. The men, no doubt,
did all the fighting and hunting for
food then, and it is the same today,
amongst all races, both civilized and
uncivilized. Some of our simplest
daily habits date from the beginning
of things.-F. W. F., in Birmingham
Post.

Chinese Coal.

According to A. NJ. G. Grant. con-

returned to Great Britain, 100000 tons
of coal have been shipped as an ex-
pertinent from China to Newcastle-on-

excellent quality, and, imported In
larger quantities. could be sold at
cheaper rates than British" All of
which is certainly strange Scientific

NE can hardly imagine non-
day dinner without. raisins
~ and nuts. Unfortunately nuts
are thought of chiefly as delicacies
and adjuncts>to the meal when they
really are a heavy food In them
selves. Nuts are really very con-
centrated food because, as can cas-
lily be seen, there is no, water or
waste In them.
Nuts are, broadly, of two classes
those having considerable fat or
oil, such as walnuts, hickory nuts,
pecans, pine nuts, etc; and others
in which the starch predominates,
as In the chestnut. Nuts have
high amount of protein or meat
quality. That is why they are often
spoken of as substitutes for the
usual meat dishes. Vegetarians
rely greatly on nuts. like peanuts
and walnuts, to replace meat.
This is all said here only to show
that nuts are a highly concentrated
food, and that it is unwise to use
them too generously after a hearty
meal The desire. Or fancy to eat
a quantity OF nuts after a dinner
of turkey, pie and trimmings" is an
artificial taste, and one that i'm
poses upon the good nature of the
stomach.
Nuts add to the food value OF any
salad or other dish and combine
especially well with juicy fruits as
a contrast. A fruit salad. such as
celery, grapes. nuts, ETC.. is really
a complete meal. Any chopped or
pounded nuts also add to the nutri-
tive value and heartiness of any
dish. However, being so highly
concentrated, nuts should be well
chewed II not pounded or chopped.
In many cases also the fibrous skin
should be removed before eating.
Almonds, of course, have very
thick skin which is extremely lndl-
gestible. That is why they are gen.
orally served blanched. 1t will sur
prise some to see the thickness OF
the almond skin when 1t stands for
a few moments in hot water. 1t is
best to pour boiling water on other
nuts also, let them stand, then peel
of the tough skin. The nut can
then be heated in an oven, trying
pan or well Drowned in melted but
ter, though this again makes the
nut more indigestible.
In selecting nuts great care must
be used. Indeed. the most expen.
sive nuts often prove wormy ana
poor. That is why some people
think it an economy to purchase
nuts already shelled. In this way
YOU see the meats and are not pay
ing for waste and shells 1t might
be a good plan to make a little ex'
pertinent at home by purchasing
one pound of unshelled nuts and
one pound of shelled nuts OF the
same kind, then Smelling and weigh
ing and estimating the cost.
Cheap stores always sting the
purchaser on mixed nuts Never
buy them this way, as the price is
generally based on the heaviest and
cheapest nut. Buy them separately
and mix as preferred. Shelled nuts
have the advantage of not be-
ing broken, because the Smelling is
done by expert machinery.
Be sure also that the nuts are
not rancid. Being so very oily nuts
