3ature has provided the stomach with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, anp it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood that flows through the viens of our body and thereby in~akes us strong. healthy and robust. .n1 it is the weakening of these diges tive juices that destroyes health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order.

In politics the plurality is the great est of more than two numbers and is also the excess of the highest number of votes cast for any one candidate over the next highest number. When a candidate receives out of 10,000 votes cast 4,000 and two other candidates receive respectively 3,500 and 2,500, the first is elected by a plurality, though he has received less than a majority of the whole vote, and he is said to have a plurality of 500 votes. If. the numbers are 6,000, 3,000 and 1,000, the majority is 2,000 and the plurality is 3,000. A majority, there fore, must be more than half the en tire vote cast, and a candidate's ma jority is, then, the difference between the number of votes he received and the combined number of votes cast for all other candidates; his plurality is the difference between his own num ber and the number received by the candidate nearest to him. Oftentimes a candidate receives a plurality, but not a majority. Unless there is a tie there is always a plurality. - Path finder. Why Sailors Don't Swim. "You think it's strange, do you," said the sailor, "that us shellbacks can hardly ever swim?" "Strange and almost criminal," re plied the druggist firmly. "Sailors who can't swim-i don't understand it at all." - The sailor frowned. "Supposin'," he said, "on a cold. black night you foun yourself in the sea, not a spar left of the wreck. every shipmate drowned, nothin' any where butzthe cold, the blackness, the bitter water. In them conditions," he said, "what would you rather do swim and swim and swim in agony till you died or sink right down and die at wunst?" "I think Id rather die at once," said the druggist, shuddering. "So - sailors think," said the other, "and it's to spare themselves possible long hours of agony that they like not to learn to swim. And they encourage their sons not to learn, too, if there's any likelihood of the lads follerin' the sea."--New Orleans Times-Democrat The Moral of Playing Cards, Playing cards have had their iporal side, it may surprise you to know. At the Blenheim club in London,-lecturing on the subject of playing cards from the point of view of the collector, Mr. Alfred Whitman said that the most valuable packs were those that taught Biblical~ history or inculcated moral lesson In Italy i2 the eighteenth cen tury it was customary to Issue packs of cards with Old Testament scenes engraved upon them. In Germany of the same period playing cards with fables to which morals were attached were customary. French playing cards of the time of Louis XIV. were used to teach geography and history, while in te England of Eliabeth and the Stu arts playing cards were used as po litical pamphlets. Most valuable were cards issued in France at th'e time of the French revolution. when figures of Genius, Liberty and Equality took the place of kings, queens and knaves. London Saturday Review. H. Has Two Signatures. There Is one New Yoi-k business man who is reasonably proof against the forger, as he has two signatures and the forger must first get hold of one of his bank checks to get any action. Seeing the sinature on a letter or ho tel register would do the forger no good. The bank would not recognize It. "I don't particularly fear the forger," the business man admitted.

On the floor of the house the door keeper has his desk, and it is here that the bells are struck that give notice of the needs of congress. One bell calls for tellers when the house is in .committee of the whole; two bells in dicate a call for yeas and nays; three declare a recess; with four bells the red light over the door goes out; five bells mean a "call of the house." under which the sergeant at arms is supposed to summarily arrest any member on sight and bring him in, whether on foot or horseback. Any member who is not present at a call of the house is subjected to a severe reprimand. Look ing down the corridor, the going out of the red light gives the curious sug gestion of the tail end of a passenger train dashing through a tunnel. While the red light burns bright and clear it means that congress is under way, but when the light winks and goes out then the visitors understand that the wheels of legislation have ceased to re volve.-National Magazine. Countermanded. A very devout clergyman had just married a couple and, as was his cus tom, offered a fervent prayer, invoking the divine blessing upon them. As they seemed to be worthy folk and not overburdened with this world's goods, he prayed, among other things, for their material prosperity and besought the Lord to greatly increase the man's business, laying much stress on this point In filling out the blanks it became necessary to ask the man his business, and, to the minister's horror, he said.

ILord Kelvin and the Cable. It is perhaps not generally known that the success of the Atlantic cable was due to the calculations and ex periments of the late Lord Kelvin, at that time plain William Thcmson. He discovered that the current through a long cable would, arrive gradually at the receiving end and devised the ap paratus which rendered it possible to utilize such a current for making the Morse signals. It was through disre gard of his theoretical predictions that the' first Atiantic cable, in 1858. was ruined by too powerful currents. With out his mirror galvanometer to trans late Into visible signals the delicate impulses received through the cable the enterprise would have been a com plete failure. - How to Fill Uip Holes In Wood.

"Here is an interesting thing that happened last summer to a friend and myself," said a New Yorker. "We had gone on a fishing trip in a rowboat, but it seemed that either all the fish were at another place or were not hun gry. We decided if those fish were not hungry we were. We had taken our luncheon, as wise fishermen will, and in order to keep the bread as fresh as possible had left it in loaf form. My friend asked me to pass it to him, and in doing so the loaf of bread went overboard. We made out the best we could without the bread and later row ed to another place to fish. On our way back we passed the place where we lost our bread. Then we saw the sight of our lives. On each side of the loaf of bread stood a big fish, and for as far as we could see there was a great line of small fish. We wondered what it was, and then the thought da-r-ied on us-those fish had formed a "bread line" and the two large fish were dealing out the bread. After that we didn't have the heart to try to catch any of those poor, hungry fish." A Bride With Some Good Points. Some years ago in an agricultural district in England th'ere lived a farm er who wanted to sell one of his cows. There was not at that time a weekly paper in which he could advertise, so he resolved to follow a local custom and ask the vicar of the parish when giving out his notices at church to ad vertise the cow. "Yes, farmer," said the vicar, "I should be willing to oblige you, but you don't attend my church." Presently, however, they struck a bargain that the vicar should adver tise the cow, and the man in return promised to go to church. Now, un fortunately the man was deaf, and on the Sunday following when the vicar gave out the banns of marriage be tween Joseph So-and-so, bachelor, and Sarah -So-and-so, spinster, the. farmer took it for granted that the vicar was giving out particulars of his cow and shouted out: "You might as well say while you are about it that she is a most gentle creature and entirely free from vice." -Stray Stories. Where Red Hair Is Disliked. In Cornwall, particularly the Land's End district, it is not advisable to dub a person "a red haired Dane," though in most parts of England, especially inland, the expression would as likely as not provoke no comment at all or be regarded as simply frivolous. At a police court case heard In 1867 at Penzance town hall it came out in evidence that the defendant had called the complainant "a red haired Dane," and this led to an assault. The-strong repugnance of Cornishmen to be dubbed by. this strange appellation is as strong as ever. The Celtic nations hated the Danes and were always fighting them. And not only in Cornwall, but also all along our coasts, where the Danes or Norse men made their ravages, this deep rooted prejudice against people with red hair, "red headed," more or less remains ingrained ina the national char acter.-J. Harris Stone in "The Eng lish Illustrated." -Meat Versus Song. The great tenor's lunch consisted of a cheese omelet asparagus, fruit and an ice. "No meat?' said the reporter.

A Custom Which Is General In Coffee Growing Countries. "We have a custom in the coffee raising countries." said a high Brazil ian official. "which is unknown in other parts of the world. When a child is born in the coffee country a sack of the best grain is set aside as part of the inheritance to be received on at tainin ' s majority. Usually the sack is the 'ift from some close friend or relative, and it is guarded as sacredly as if It were a gift of gold or bonds. No stress would induce a Brazilian parent to use coffee which was made the birth gift of a child. As a rule. it is sealed with the private seal of the owner and bears a card giving all par ticulars about the variety of grain, its age on being sacked and the birth of the child to whom it is given and other details, which are very interest ing when the gift is due. "Generally the coffee is opened for the first time when the child marries. The coffee for the reception or mar riage feast is made from the legacy, and. according to precedent, this must be the first time the sack Is opened. After the coffee is made for the wed ding feast the sack Is carefully closed and sent to the new home of the young people and should keep' them in this staple for a year at least When both bride and- bridegroom have the birth gift of coffee they have started life under very hopeful conditions, so far as one necessity is concerned. Few people know that the older the un parched grain of coffee is the better the flavor. Like wine, it grows with age. and that which is over twenty years mellowing under proper condi tions will bring from $1.50 to $3 a pound from connoisseurs. The giving of pounds of green coffee is a common practice in the coffee belt Friends ex change these gifts and compare re sults. ~When one cannot afford to give a sack of coffee, it frequently is the case that ten pounds of the best green grain are packed in a fancy case and bestowed on a newly born child, with directions that it must not be opened until the wedding day." FIRST AMERICAN GLASS. Made at a Factory Built by a Boston Man In New Hampshire. The first American glass factory was erected in the town of Temple, N. H. Washington in his diary speaks of glass being nade in New Haven. Conn.. In the year 1789. One would suppose by the language he uses that he considers ft a new and quite extraordinary affair. It was nine years previous to this and during the very war whose issue first enabled the country to comnlence its own manufac turing that Robert Hewes of Boston began to carry out the projdet which he had long conceived, but had hith erto found Impracticable if not impos sible under English rule, that of mak ing glass in America for America. In .1780 Mr. Hewes selected a site for his factory secure from the British forces (his glassblowers were Hessians and Waldeckers, soldiets who had de serted from the British army), and he must have had an- eye for the beauti ful in nature. He chose a spot on the north slope of Kidder mountain, near JIts base. To the northwest Mount Mo nadnock rears its granite crown, stand ing like a giant sentinel: to the north and running east are the Temple moun tains. bold and precipitous; to the east a beautiful valley holds in its embrace the towns of Wilton, Milford and Nashua, while to the northeast .Toe Engish hill and the Uncanernucks mountains conceal the city of Man chester.
