Even though It takes pork four hours to lenre the stomach and six more to be dissolved and absorbed In the small Intestine, what docs that matter so long as It Is completely assimilated by the end of that time, as It Is In 00 per cent of all digestive canals? It Is Uie slowest, but one of t he surest foods that we have to give olt all Its energy to the body. Its very slowness Is what gives It Its splendid staying powers for hard work, whether muscular or men tal. As a matter of fact I havo seen more cases of dyspepsia, cured ly the use of breakfast bacon than by any kind of drug or restricted diet. An adult alimentary canal which cannot digest bacon or ham Is not to be re garded as healthy, and, Instead of hu moring and giving In to n weak diges tion, it should be braced up anil, under skilled super-lslon, educated to take what Is given it nnd make no fuss. Stomachs can be spoiled by giving them too little to do almost as easily as by giving them too much. A healthy stomach fit to cope with the emergen cies of life must be able to digest not only that which Is digestible, but much that is difficult of digestion, and tills is tho standard which should be aimed at In dietetic therapeutics. Woods Hutch inson, M. D., in McClurc's Magazine. Got a Cheap Dinner. Verily the duchy of Baden possesses a Solomon In the person of one of her magistrates. He Is the burgomaster of a village In a street whereof a cy clist ran over and killed a goose. The owner of the bird demanded 3 marks damages. The cyclist thought 2 ample. The case came before the ehlef mag istrate, who gave his judgment as follows: "The plaintiff declares that if paid 3 marks he will make no claim for the dead goose. The defendant, who Is willing to pay 2 marks, also makes no claim for tho body of the goose. Defendant, hand me 2 marks, aud you, plaintiff, hand mo the goose." When both had obeyed his commands he produced 1 mark out of Ids pocket and handed all three to the plaintiff. The goose ho kept for himself and doubtless ate it with the good digestion which comes from the knowledge of having pleased everybody. The l"nalllrd Bachelor. "I have not married so I may have a quiet life," said the bachelor. "Had I married a good wife I would have been afraid to lose her; a bad ob,, I would have beeti unhappy. Had I taken a poor girl we would have lived wretch edly; a rich one, and she would have had cause to taunt me with her money. Had she been ugly I could not have loved her; beautiful, nnd I would have been eternally Jealous. Therefore I have not married, and yet life Is a nuisance." New York Press.

An incident related by the author of "The I'nnrl of India" in bis description of tho flora of Ceylon Is almost un canny, although we are assured that it Is truo. It Is about the mimosa, or sensitive plaut, and makes one almost wonder whether the plant has intelli gence. The doctor, one of tho charac ters of tho book, while sitting with the family ou the broad piazza which form ed the front of tho bungalow of a coffee plantation recognized a thrifty sensitive plant, and it was made the subject of remark. Ho called his young daughter of eleven years from tlie house. "Lena," said he, "go and kiss the mi mosa." The child did so, laughing gleefully, and camo away. The plant gave no tok en of shrinking from contact with the pretty child. "Now," said the host, "will you touch the plant?" Rising to do so, he approached It with ono baud extended, and before it had come fairly in contact the nearest spray and leaves wilted visibly. "The plant knows the child," said the doctor, "but you are a' stranger." Rnbhlt Shooting In France. Le Sport Is answerablo for much exhibition of humor on the part of a nation like ours, where killing for fun Is brought to perfection, and the story of the Englishman who went rabbit shooting with two Frenchmen In Nor mandy may or may not be true. They set out, eager for the chase; they sight ed a rabbit, and up went the English man's gun to his shoulder. "No, no; do not shoot!" cried his companions. "That is Mind. We never shoot at Mlml." The Englishman, greatly won dering, desisted. A second rabbit crossed their path. He aimed ngaln anil was again deterred from shooting. "That Is the adorable Lulu," they pointed out. We never shoot at Lulu." Naturally, when n third rabbit darted up, the Englishman made no effort to kill It, much to the distress of his com panions. "Shoot, shoot!" they cried wildly.' "That Is Alphouse. We al ways shoot at Alphonse." London Chronicle. The Mnsrle of a Mirror. A ward patient In Roosevelt hospital, New York, grew gradually weaker without any apparent reason. "She's fretting herself to death about some thing," said the nurse. "If she would conflde in me I think she would get better." By nnd by tho patient did open her mind and heart. "If I could only see myself," she walled, "I'd feel different. I know I must look like dentil or you'd let me have a looking glass." It was against the rules to sup ply patients In that ward with mirrors, but the nurse, recognizing the gravity of that particular case, smuggled In a small hand glass. The result was mi raculous. "Why. dear mo," said the sick woman, "I don't look half so bad as I supposed 1 did." And from that hour she began to Improve. ECZEMA. The War to Treat This Distressing Affliction. Eczema can, even when Inherited, bo controlled by attention to the general principles of health cleanliness, exer cise, proper diet, clothing and ventila tlou. Eczema patients, old and young, should never use stimulants In any form. They should take dully baths and be most particular as to the regu larity of all Important bodily functions. Occasional doses of mild saline aperi ents, such as cream tartar, phosphate of soda or the old fashioned remedy of lac sulphur and cream tartar, mixed In equal quantities, with enough molasses to form a creumy paste and tuken three times a day for ten days running, then omitted until again required, will be found of wonderful benefit. Let the patient drink freely of lemonade and avoid salt meats, pork in any form, and live upon a diet of fruits, red meats aud antiscorbutic vegetables. Many people are particularly suscep tible to shellllsh, and a case of eczema sometimes follows the eating of lobster repeatedly. Strawberries will also pro duce this effect frequently. Vigorous exorcise will often, by Inducing excess ive perspiration, act as a curative for eczema, particularly when combined with the use of a harmless external application. Sulphur baths aro effica cious for most skin diseases. If possi ble, it is well to take them in an estab lished bath bouse, but they may be pre pared at home as follows: To each ten gallons of water add an ounce of sul plniret of potassium, or to each fifteen gallons of water add an ounce of sul phwet of calcium. Where there Is Itch ing and the eruption seems virulent the sulphur bath is excellent as a prelimi nary treatment. GREAT. MUSIC. The Mystical Influence It Wields Over Onr Sensibilities. Great music Is a physical storm, agi tating to unimaginable depth the mys tery of the past within us or we might say it Is a prodigious Incanta tion, every different Instrument and voice making separate appeal to dif ferent billions of prenatal memories. There are tones that call up all the ghosts of youth and Joy and tenden cies; there are tones that evoke all phantom pain of perished passion; there are tones that resurrect all dead sensations of majesty and might and glory, all expired exultations, all for gotten magnanimities. Well may the Influence of music seem Inexplicable to the man who Idly dreams that his life began less than a hundred years ago! But the mystery lightens for whosoever learns that the substance of self is older than the sun. Flo finds that music Is a necromancy; be feels that to every ripple of melody, to every billow of harmony, there answers within him out of the sea of death and birth some eddying Immeasurable of ancient pleasure and pain. Tleasure and pain! They commingle always in great music, and therefore It is that music can move us more pro foundly than the voice of ocean or than any other voice can do. But in music's larger utterance It Is ever the sorrow that makes the undertone, the surf mutler of the sea of soul. Strange to think how vast the sum of Joy and woe that must have been experienced before the sense of music could evolve in the brain of iron' Lufcadlo Hearn. The Stone Forests of Arizona. The regions of the Little Colorado river In Arizona abound In wonderful vegetable petrifactions, whole forests being found In some places which are hard as flint, but which look as If but rece :ly stripped of their foliage. Borne of these stone trees are standing Just as natural as lite, while others are piled across each other just like the fallen monarch of a real wood forest Geologists say that these stone trees were once covered to the depth of a thousand feet with marl, which trans formed them from wood to solid rock. This marl after tho lapse of ages wash ed out, leaving some of the trees stand ing In an upright position. The major ity of them, however, are piled belter skelter In all directions, thousands of cords being sometimes piled up on an acre of ground. Obsolete Foods. In Great Britain we have left off eat ing many wild creatures that formerly were accounted delicacies. For exam ple, the young gulls we mean the black beaded, inland nesting variety used to be collected and sold for pies and puddings. There Is still a tradi tion In favor of rook pie, but the num ber of rooks that come on the market la a decreasing quantity every year. Squirrel used to be eaten quite com monly too.

Who was the great genius, for he must have been such, first to conceive and apply steam locomotion? Accord ing to a drawing of one of the earliest steam locomotives, or, as it was desig nated nt that time, "high pressure trum engine," Invented by Itlcliurd Tre vlthlck, which drawing was made lu accordance with tho testimony of Bees Jones, who aided lu tho lltllug, and Wllliuiu ltlchurds, its driver, it Is prov ed to the satisfaction of historians that to Trevlthlck Is due the credit for the application of steum to locomotion. In tills engine tho exhausted steam was discharged Into the chimney stack and the wheels were combined together. Underneath tho drawing It Is stated that the engine was designated on tho original plan, dated 1803, as "Tre vithlck's high pressure tram engine" and was constructed partly in Corn wall and partly at Pcu-y-Dnrren works by Richard Trovithlck, engineer for Samuel Homfray, proprietor of the Tcn-y-Darren Iron works. The story Is related as a historical fact that Merthyr Tudyvll, while dis cussing tho principles and feasibility of locomotive steam engine power with Itlchard Crawshay of the Cyfarthfa Iron works, made a bet of 1,000 guineas that he would c ,y by steam power a load of Iron to u.c capital nav igation house (nine miles distant) along the bnsln tram road, which by means of this engine of the great Trevlthlck he afterward effected and won his wnger, although the heavy gradients, sharp curves and frangible nature of the cast Iron trackway operated against tho return of this Ingenious but rudely constructed machine with the empty trains; hence Its discontinuance.

Each of them re ceived a gold coin, with a hole In It, which the coin, not the hole "was sus pended from the neck by a ribbon." It became necessary to limit the number of patients to be touched, and at last no person was allowed in the king's presence for that purpose who had not previously obtained a certificate from the minister of the parish In which be or she lived that he or she wos suffer ing from the disease. "Hambledon, Bucks, 1085, May 17. Mary Wellington had a certificate to go before the king for a disease called the king's evil." Parish Registers, Page 81, R. E. Cluster Waters. From a proclamation Issued by Charles II., dated Jan. 9, 1CS3, appoint ing the times at which the touch should be administered: "And all such as shall hereafter come or repair to the court for this purpose shall bring with them certificates under the hands aud seals of the parson, vic ar or minister and of both or one of the churchwardens, testlfyng accord ing to the truth that they have not at any time before been touched by his majesty to the intent to be healed of their disease. And all ministers and churchwardens are hereby required to be very careful to examine into the truth before they give such certificates and also to keep a register of all cer tificates they shall from time to time give." London Notes and Queries. Sea Salt. It seems that the sea was made salt In the beginning as a part of the grand design of the Creator to provide for the system of evolution which has been going on since the creation. Many dis tinct species of living organisms exist In the sea as a result of Its salinity, and their remains have largely contrib uted to the growth of continents. The three great factors In accounting for the system of currents In the ocean by which It becomes the great heat dis tributer of the globe are changes of temperature, the winds and salinity. The last mentioned becomes an Im portant factor through the immediate and essential differences of specific gravity and consequent differences of level that It produces lu different parts of the ocean through the action of evaporation and rainfall.

The duke, anxious to snub the viscount, pretended to take him for nu usher and said, holding out bis band, "Have you a programme?"
