Prof. Mctchnikoff Warns Against In dulgence In Fleshy Food. Paris. Dyspeptic, gouty and rheu matic men and sufferers from dia betes are gclentillrally warned by Prof. Metchnlkoff that the present popular Idea on the danger of eating much flesh Is well founded. He reports that the human intes tine encloses "putrefying" microbes of at least three classes. One of them, discovered fcy nn American sav ant, produces vloleat roxtnes. The second, of Belgian origin, is as poi swious, but its toxines act less ener getically than that of the American discovered microbesfl This is the case with the third microbe, which was discovered by an English bacter iologist.

But from experi ments made it appears that we eat meat at 115 degrees temperature, beans at 132 degrees, potatoes at 150 degrees. The average temperature of tea is 135 degrees, and It may be sipped, but cannot be swallowed in large quantities, it it exceeds 142 de grees. Snake Bite Remedy.

But when once the fact is clear, most people try to keep away from the thing which is followed by ever Increasing detriment to the heart, stomach and nerves.

About l.suu.uuu gullons ot blood are pumped through the adult human heart each year. A quadrangle screen, which opens or closes as a door to which it is at tached at the top is opened or closed, invented by a Kansan, is said to pre vent flies and other insects from en tering a house. Experiments are being made In Eu rope with a microphone for the dls covery of the presence of shoals of fish. The Instrument is sunk Into the water, and the constant tapping of tin; fish against it as they pass warns the fishermen. Those who think that invention is approaching Its limits would do well to consider the fact stated by M. Abraham, an authority on this sub ject, that the best telephone does not transmit to the ear more than one-one-thousandth of the energy that It receives from the line. A poison having the peculiarity of being fatal only to the rat tribe has been discovered in the English sea onion or squill. Testing its efficiency, a German investigator ground some sea-onions with potatoes, and fried the mixture with fat to crisp cakes. This food surprised him by killing forty-three rats in his stable the first nigh. Remaining rodents were shy on following nights, but after three months a second trial destroyed thirty-two, and no signs of survivors have since been seen. A French scientist, M. Bertin, in dealing with the subject of coast ero sion, mentions that the island of Jersey once formed part of the Conti nent of Europe. Ho has also brossht to light the Interesting fact that there still exists an ancient charter by which a certain abbey was compelled to furnish the necessary plank for communicating with the island from the mainland at low water. The ex tent to which the sea has encroached on the land is evident from the fact that the Journey from the mainland of France to the island by steamboat now takes an hour. According to a Grismby (Eng.) pap er, an important series of secret ex periments is being made on behalf of the Government by two local trawlers, the Algorna and the Andes, which for several days have been in the English Channel testing the efficacy of their trawl net in bringing up dum my submarine mines. The trawl sweeps the bottom of the sea, and Is of immense holding capacity, while the network is eminently Butted for removing explosives. Stray mines broken from their moorings would also be caught by the Bame means. The skippers not only know, every inch of the North Sea, but they can maneouvre trawlers to sweep the bed of the sea at any given spot In remark ably quick time. THE ELEVATED HANDSHAKE. How It Originated as a Fashion Em press Josephine's Lace Hand kerchiefs. It appears that somo of the present day fashions owe their orgin to physi cal defects. The elevated handshake is one of these, and a Paris contem porary throws an interesting light upon its origin. It appears that a Prince, a leader of society in the French capital, had a carbuncle or some such inconvenient and painful growth on his shoulder. Whenever a friend gave him a handshake the oper ation as far as tho Prince was con cerned was most painful. To prevent this he raised his hand horizontally to his shoulder, and, if we may use the expression, had "the whip hand." This new method of hand shake was the astonlbhment and admiration of certain persons always on the look out for the latest in society, who thought that the Prince had inaugu rated a new fashion which one sees dally in operation in tho Strand. The daity lace handkerchief which ladies use owes its origin also to the defects of nature. The unhappy Em press Josephine introduced the fash Ion. She suffered from bad teeth, and living in the time when American den tistry was unknown, she cast about her for some means to hide the de fect. The cambric handkerchief with rich lace was the outcome. If the Empress wished to laugh or had to open her mouth widely the handker chief was requisitioned. Again, yellow lace has its origin in sadness, according to tradition. A lady of distinction had lost her hus band by shipwreck or some other cause. She was impressed with the Idea that he would return and vowed to continue wearing until he was re stored to her the lace which adorned ber dress when she said farewell. Like Josephine's handkerchief, her inti mates thought her soiled lace was an innovation in fashion and adopted means to copy it. London Globe. Deteriorated Drama. Since the decay of the stock com pany system the art of the actor and the taste of the public have alike de teriorated. Stage and auditorium have reacted on one another. The "halls" are swollen to huge dimensions; and musical comedy so effectually rules tho tbeatrical roost that the Sacred Lamp moves like a wlll-o'-the wisp from Temple Bar to Piccadilly. Britannia. Soap Economy. Bits of soap should never be Uung away, but placed in a glass or china jar until a number have been accum ulated. They should then bo dissolv ed in boiling water Into soap jelly, which may bo used for various pur poses. That made from the par re served for toilet soaps may be used for tho bath, and that from kitchen and luundry soaps may bo used for laundry purposes. Care should be taken to see that every bit of soap added to tho Jar is clean. It is by no means an uncommon thing to see Eoap looking anything but attractively clean. New York Times. For the Silver Drawer. It Is difllcult to keep the sllverdraw er in order, unless it boasts of com partments. This is seldom the base, but the deficiency can bo easily sup plied. Have one or more flat boxes made, which will fit into the drawer where the silver is kept. Partition each box off very carefully, making the division Just the size to hold the knives, forks, spoons, and what not. Line the whole with felt. It is well to have thumb holesmade in tho boxes at either side, so they may be easily lifted out of tho drawer. Tho saving In scratches to the silver, to say noth ing of the saving iu time in seeing that everything in tho silver line is In its place, more than compensates for tho cost of the boxes.

Take a stone crock at least a foot high, fill It with water and tie it up across the opening, preserve jar fashion, with the pig's bladder or parchment, in which when tightly stretched you cut with a sharp Rnife a cross cut. Stand this crock near shelf, curtain jars or something which will provide a foothold oppor tunity for tho mouse. Spiinklo near the cross cut bl'.s of cheese or bacon. The mouse will scent the goodies, will climb up on the crock after them and will slip through the cut in the parchment and drown in the water in the crock. The stiff points of the parchment will immediately spring back In position and be ready for more victims. New York Herald. Carrot Candlesticks on Table. Carrots will have another place than in the soup if the odd whim ol a youug woman prominent in the Lenox summer colony becomes popular. This young woman is enthuslstic over the carrot as a table decoration, which may be explained in part by the fact that Lenox this season has gone to extremes lu cultivating flow ers and vegetables. It has been tho rule in the Berkshire resort for the hostess to Inform her guests that the flowers and vegetables aro of "my own growing," and that means that personal attention has been pa'l to the business and decorative corners of the garden. The weirdly imagin ative young woman In question has diverted the carrot from its true mis sion in tho world lo stand abuse as a candlestick.

When Commodore Decatur was blockaded at the mouth of a Con necticut river, the Thames, during the war of 1812-14, the rumor was circu lated on shore that he lacked flannel for the manufacture ot cartridges for his cannon. Thereupon a patriotic resident of the town of Groton, "Mother" Bailey, gained access to De catur's ship, interviewed the commo dore and cerifled the report.
