Cabbage-—the British vegetable—is another shortener of life in a great many cases. Cabbage consists main- ly of cellulose, but the human stomach can make nothing of it. It often decays in the inside and gives rise to poisonous gases, Of course, excess of any kind of stimulant hurries us on to the grave. Beef tea, for example, increases the pace of life and overindulgence in it would cause the body to wear itself out quickly. The same holds good with coffee or tea. The question whether vegetable food or animal food shortens life most is not yet solved. Vegetable food makes the blood hard and stony, de posits tartar on the teeth, and makes them fall out. It increases the fat of the body, and tends to cause fatty de generation of the heart, liver, and brain. Put meat gives gout. Possibly it is the cause of rheumatism.

Apparently he was trying to convey the general idea of “Keep still] Baek to the woods! Don't give me away!” The young woman stared at him in a mystification until the passenger had paid his fare and gone into the house. Then she saw the eabby leap down from his seat like a hawk, pounce up- on what appeared to be a piece of orange-colored paper lying on the side. walk, leap again to his seat and whip up his horse.
