Every mouthful of meat should be
vigorously masticated. If children
could be s?nt to a chewing school, as
they are now sent to a kindergarten,
there would I e a marked improvement
In the race, says a well-known doctor,
who has .nnde a special study of the
subject. And he <*oes on to sny that
"to produce strong teeth is almost as
simple a matter as to produce strong
arms."
Children should be accustomed to
rigorous mastication by prnctlce three
times a day, and the habit thus
formed will not be forgotten. By such
a system of training "bills for dentis
try will be reduced, the child's teeth
will become strong and well polished,
and there will be a distinct enlarge
ment of the jaw and a strengthening
of the facial muscles. There ean be
no exaggeration of the marvelous re
sults achieved by vigorous mastica
tion."
Mm Only ? Machine,
The scientifically trained mind has
come to regard the law of the conserv
ation of energy aa universal, so that
the brilliant demonstration that this
law holda good In the case of tbe living
organism has not attracted special at
tention. W. O, Atwater, by means of
bis respiration calorimeter, was able to
determine exactly tbe exchange of en
ergy taking p|ace in the body. In a
Dumber of experiments covering 143
flays, with a man at rest and at work,
there was a difference of only fifty
three calorics between the total income
tiid total outgo of energy, a practically
negligible quantity considering the ag
gregate of the totals.

No Finger Bowls.
One of the many strange unwritten
laws which must be observed when
royalty is being entertained is that
which forbids the use of finger bowls
at dinner for any of the guests except
the royal ones. This custom dates from
tbe early days of the Georges, when
t'je nobles were divided in their alle
giance hetwc <n the reigning house of
Hanover and the exiled Stuarts. To
many of these nobles allegiance to the
Stuarts was a religion and often tbe
outward acts of ??iioginnce to the
reigning sovereign were perverted Into
treasonable acts of homage to the ex
iles. Xo dinner was complete with
out its toast to "the King" in those
days, to evade which was an act of
treason punishable even with death
and loss of titles and estates. The
Jacobites, however, discovered a way
to avoid this penalty without sacrific
ing their loyalty. Holding tbe wine
glass over the finger bowl, they
drained the glass to."the King." with
a mental reservation "over the wa
ter." This simple ruse was soon dis
covered aud the use of finger bowls
was forbidden.?Buffalo Courier.
