About New Style Match.
The tie wstyte of match with a
dark eoloied head topHd off with a
light colored cap or tip Is generally
supiaised by the uninitiated to he sim
ply an attempt to ratch the fancy
for ornament.. I coloring and to dif
fer In no other way from the old
style one-color match. Tho new
match was designed for a special pur
poo and Is to a ceitaln degree a
safety match. "You can't strike It,"
says this authority, unless you rub
the light colored cap. The darH or
tton Is not Inflammable through fric
tion, so that If tho match Is lying
on the floor and Is trod upon the
swelled head prevents tho cap from
being rubbed, and there Is no result
ing blase of skirts or hangings or
call for the Are department. At tho
same time you can strike tho cap on
any substance.''

uint to lum,
It is true, us IlcKkefellei , mi)h. that
we strive too much for wealth, that (.
are growing a little unscrupulous in
the methods of getting It. Money Is
not all that man wants, but we work
for It as If It were. We will toll for
)eara without regard to hours, or
measures and fall dead lu search of
dollars. As everybody races, all have
to. There Is no question but that we
have carried money making beyond
Ita- legltlmaljf limits, but, Jiow are
we to stop;
Mr, Hock Ifoller, like most men,
gives advice which does not tally
with his practice, but that I human.
Wo nil do that.
Men should work hard for their
money, but they should have a llxed
object and work to It. Those who do
that succeed. A man who start life
with the Intention of owning a farm
can own the farm. A man who starts
out to accumulate $lu,000 can certain
ly get his $111,000. There Is a com
petence within the reach of every
man who Is willing to pay the price
to get It. Money costs about what
It Is worth. Xo worso waste can
lie tnndu than lo waste a life working
for dollars and wasting them. There
should be a definite aim lu money
making. Exchange.
CORN IS NOT A PERFECT FOOD.
Corn Is tlio greatest fattening food
of all the cereals. This Is Indicated
not only by chemical anaylsls, but
by feeding the corn to farm animals.
It contains ono part of flesh-furuilng
material to ten iwrta of fat-forming.
Oats on the other hand contain one
part of flesh-forming material to six
of fattening material. Carrying the
matter still further wo find that bran
contains one part protein to three
and seven-tenths of fat, and oil meal
Is composed one part protein to one
and seven-tenths of fat.
The nverngo growing nnlmal re
quires a nutritive ratio that Is much
narrower than Is found lu (drulght
corn, nnd becnuxo of thla It always
pays to use feed to balance the corn
ratio. Just where to find the clicajn
est material to do this Is a problem
that must bo solved by each Indi
vidual for himself.
I trim Is n safe food for all growing
animals also, especially for milk
cows anl brood sows. We have nev
er reguuled It as an extra good food
for young pigs, for tho reason that It
Is not very palatable when used us
it slop for this puriiose. In munll
quantities oil meal Is excellent, es
pecially for hog and for cows. Tor
hogs It hardly pays lo feed more
than ono-tonth of tho whole ration,
nnd In the case of cows It Is not
economy lo feed It lu larger quanti
ties than two or three ikjutiiIb dally
for each cow.
For horses wo havo found that a
single handful once or twice a day Is
about all that the average horso will
use to good advantage. The horse
Is about tho only nnlmal that seems
to tire of oil meal, so If It Is fed only
lu small quantities It acts as an ap
petiser ami generally shows Its effect
upon tho coat, this being a good indi
cation of a healthy digestive ayatein.
Uven for fattening hngg and fat
tening cnttlo It will pay to use some
by-product. If It can bo done In no
other way. It will pay to sell part of
the corn and put the money Into some
by-product lu order lo balance the
ration. Farm (lazette.

INTESTINAL INDIGESTION.
It SiiiiIiimi mill tlio Wnr It MimiM
lie Trniliil,
It wai formerly thought that the
stomach tvns the main organ of diges
tion, and dyspepsia was supposed nl
way to have it seat there, llat thli
question has liceti tnudi studied of
late, Willi tho result that the stomach
I has been found to be of little account
I comparatively lu the preparation of the
1 food for nlnorptlon. The laost lutpor
I tant part of dlsellon occurs In the up
i per part of tho Intestine, where the
food, nfter lenvlng the stomach, Is
churned and mixed thoroughly with
the bile and pancreatic secretion.
Slnco then, the Intestine takes such
nu Important part lu digestion, It M
nntura to mippnse that n failure to
perfcrnt this function properly would
give rlo to serious disturbances of
health, nnd such. In fart, is the ease.
Intestinal Indigestion Is a not uncom
mon affection nt nil periods of life
nnd Is esicclally prevalent In children,
Tho chief symptoms nro flatulence, or
wind, more or loss colic, diarrhea, or
more often constipation, or nn alterna
tion of the two and practical starva
tion, ns hhoTTO in weakness and emaci
ation. The treatment Is mainly tbrouuh diet,
but this will vary, of course, according
to age. In nn Infant the problem Is a
difficult one. If the child Is fed arti
ficially nil prepared foods containing
starch should be taken away, and
cows milk, modified ns to the amount
of fat. sugar or casein It contnlns, ac
cording to the physician's directions,
should bo BtihstKuUsl.
If the Infant Is nursing the life of the
mother should be studied, for the stnte
of her health may nffect tbo milk In
juriously. In older children and adults the
amount of fats and of starchy foods
must bo carefully regulated. Cereals,
pastry, rice, potatoes and bread must
be cut out of the dietary for a time or
tnken In very small quantity. When
eaten nt all they should be most thor
oughly, even excessively, chewed, for
In this way they may bo In great meas
ure digested by tbo saliva before reach
lug the Intestine.
The diet should consist mainly of
milk, white of eggs nnd the most di
gestible meats nnd fish. The diarrhea
or constipation should be regulated,
nnd sometimes the administration of
Intestinal antiseptics Is lieneflclnl. Reg
lar exercise In the open nlr Is of great
value In the treatment. The cold bath
or shower bath Is often of servlco
when It Is followed by a healthy reac
tion. Youth's Companion,
A rirluri In AVonil,
There are vnrlous glimpse of Whis
tler lu the reminiscences of the late
Sir Wyke Ilayllss. whilom president of
the Society of llrltlsh Artists. Here Is
an Incident of "hanging tiny" while
Whistler occupied the presidency
A carpenter held In his baud n piece
of wood, with which he was about to
steady a heavy frame. It was a bat
ten of yellow deal, with n largo knot
of lovely color, pitch brown and gold,
running tho whole length of thebonnl.
Seizing tho hoard, I made the carpenter
saw out of It a fragment to lit u frame
which stood on the innntclplcce. At a
little distance tho thing nssumed the
appearance of a golden sunset seen
ncros nn open country, with n llttlo
hill or clump of trees against the lumi
nous! sky. 'Hie gradation of color was
beautiful beyond description. At that
moment the president entered. Wo
pointed ncros the gallery to the new
"harmony lu gold nnd brown" nnd con
gratulated him on Its loveliness. Mr.
Whistler, hastily putting his eyeglass
to his eye, exclaimed: "Eh, ehl What's
that? Who lent that" Ho was as
much delighted ns wo were.
I-rt-mntiirt- llurlnl.
Statistics have been prepared to show
that In Europe out of every 100 sup
posed deaths one person Is resuscitat
ed. Although members of tho medical
profession refuse to take any Interest
In tho matter, It Is probably true, says
Suggestion, that many persons nro
burled whllo lu n statu of suspended
animation. It Is stated that In tho
cemetery Just outside tbo town of Wei
mar there Is special provision mado
against tho danger of premature burial
from suspended nnlmntlon. No IkhIIos
are placed lu the ground until they
have spent n considerable tlmo In n re
ceiving vault. In the lingers of tho
corpse nro placed strings which com
municate with nn alarm. The least
movement will ring a belt In an nil-
I Joining chamber, whore n guardian la
always on the watch. In several In
stances by this timely iilarin persons
prciuiitiiroly burled have been rescued.
It Is Bald that tho provision arose from
the tradition that one of the princes of
Sase-Welmar, this being their fnmlly
burial place, was hurled alive.

delicious exnmple In bis defense of a

that she herself had been assaulted and

"My learned friend with mcro wind
