KNOW NOTHING OF DYSPEPSIA
Eskimo# Apparently Abie to Digest,
Anything in the Form of Food,
Without Cooking It.
There la at least one native race of
America that is little troubled with
dyspepsia. The Eskimo seems to defy
all laws In this relation and to thrive.
He eats until he Is satisfied, and it
takes much to satisfy him, if. indeed,
be ever is satisfied. He eats as long
as there la a shred of the feast before
him. His capacity Is limited only by
the supply.
The Eskimo, It further appears, can
make no mistake In the manner of
cooking his food for the very simple
reason that he does not cook It. Nor.
so far as the blubber or fat of the Arc
tic is concerned, Is he worried about
his manner of eating it. Indeed, he
may be said not to eat it at all. He
cuts it into long strips an inch wide
and an Inch thick and then lowers the
strip down his throat as one might
lower a rope Into a well. Notwith
standing all this, the Eskimo does not
suffer from indigestion. He can make
a good meal off the flesh and skin of
the walrus, provision so hard and grit
ty that In cutting up the animal the
knife must be continually sharpened.
The teeth of a little Eskimo child
will, it Is said by those who know,
meet In a bit of walrus skin es the
teeth of one of our own children would
meet In the tlesh of an apple, although
the hide of the walrus is from half an
inch to an Inch in thickness and bears
considerable resemblance to the hide
of an elephant. The child of the Arc
tic will bite It and digest It never
know what dyspepsia means.
WELL ENDOWED BY NATURE
Mountain Goat Thoroughly Equipped
for Life in High Altitudes Amid
Snow and Rocks.
“The mountain goat Is equally at
home on rock. Ice, snow or meadow,
and It lives in bands of two to twenty,”
says Dr. William T. Hornaday, writing
of “The Rocky Mountain Goat at
Home," in Boys’ Life. “Its big black
hoofs have chisel edges for ice and a
center of rubber cushion for slippery
rock. In steep climbing the front of
the hoof digs tn like a garden trowel,
and In going down steep places the
rear dewdaws make wonderfully effec
tive brakes. The heavy coat of fine
and dense white wool Is Impervious to
dry cold, but the wet and cold rains of
New York winters quickly put moun
tain goats down and out. In the East
they must be sheltered from all cold
rains, or they contract pneumonia and
die. Os dry cold they can endnre any
amount.
"In the matter of food, we must say
that the goat Is herbivorous, and ex
plain that it feeds on a great variety
of mountain plants, according to sea
son. On the .summits they find very
little real grass, but they find pul
satllla and other queer pasture plants
that are literally Just as good.’ In the
spring they feed on the wild onions
that grow abundantly In their home
pastures, which Imparts to their flesh
a strong onion flavor."
Memory System.
A middle-aged suburbanite over
taken on his Saturday afternoon stroll
by a young married friend whom he
knew was taking a memory-training
course, Inquired as to the progress
made. “Doing fine!" was the reply.
“Fill your pipe from my pouch and I’ll
toll you while we perambulate.” But
the last word was hardly uttered when
he made a right-about-face and re
turned at the double on his tracks. In
the evening the middle-aged man
called to return the pouch. "Thanks,”
smiled the owner. “You’d wonder why
I left you so abruptly. Law of associ
ation —worked beautifully. The word
‘tobacco,’ followed by ‘perambulate’
reminded me of something.” “Impor
tant?" "Well—yes. Don’t breathe a
word to the wife. I’d left the peram
bulator outside the tobacconist’s and
the baby was in it!” —Manchester
Guardian.
Facts About Com Culture.
The tribes of North America saw
the possibilities of corn and hastened
its evolution. There has been cross
breeding by white fanners, yet, as a
matter of fact, the corn culture of the
present day Is practically as it came
from the hand of the Indian. He has
adapted and modified it to various sec
tions of the country by a process of
careful selection.
Recently it occurred to some scien
tists that despite the drawback of the
weather the Mandan Indians of the
North were raising corn. An expedi
tion made a study of the agricultural
methods of the Mandant, and it devel
oped that for centuries the farmers of
the tribes had been developing a hardy
corn. The seed had been selected from
year to year from stalks which showed
no effect from frost.
Was Here Before Columbus.
On a farm near Rosewell, N. M., Is
an irrigation ditch, or rather a raised
Irrigation ditch, which Is one of the
oldest evidences of man’s Inventive
powers on this continent. It was built
centuries before Columbus learned
navigation. The walls of the canal
are believed to have been made of sed
iment taken from a nearby spring, a .
clayllke material that exposure to the
air has made as hurd as stone.
The making of two blades of grass
to grow where but one grew’ before
through irrigation is a very ancient
practice. It was carried on crudely
by the Egyptians at least as early as
2,000 B. C.— Popular Science Monthly.
