Can Appendicitis be Prevented? 'I
It is quite natural that many peo-
ple should wonder whether this uni-
versal complaint, which attacks
men and women . indiscriminately,
can be'warded off by any system
living or attention to diet,
The appendix is attached to that
part ofthe large intestine known
as the cavum. From an important
and relatively large structure in
animals that feed on grass and
vegetables this has dwindled almost
to nothing in m nera11 sia'X`&Mets

An old lady accompaPiod by her
daughter who was about to be mar-
ried, went to 'Dublin to make so'arle
purchases. Having finished shop-
ping, as they had some time to
spare, they strolled into the Phoe-
nix Park, and feeling tired, they
.sat down on two chargeable chairs.
'Shortly afterwards the; eolleotor
came around and demanded two-
pence. The old lady asked, "What
for I" So , then the collector ex-
plained
that if abe wanted the
chairs they would have to pay a
penny each for them, "Oh," said
the daughter, joining in, "we'll
take half a dozen, and I think it's
the best bargain we've made to-
day"
Flower 'With a i3Cistory.
On the score of age alone, the
peony should command the'interest
of all flower -lovers. It has a his-
tory which began many hundreds
of years ago. The tree peony, more
than any other flower, has been the
glory and pride of the Chinese for
nearly 500 years, and has been a
subject for the painters and a
theme for the poets. In China, for
more than 1,000 years, 'a record has
been kept of the parelitage of seed-
lings of this peony and. their char-
acteristics, Its great.' beauty and
fragrance made it, centuries ago,
the' favorite flower of China's em-
perors, and it was ' called Hwa
Wang --king of flowers..

ANYTHING INSURABLE.
Everything and
Anything insured
n
Of late years—especially in Loa-
don—it
on-donit 'has become quite common
for gifted people—beauties, musi-
cians, artists, and so forth—to in-
sure separately those parts of
their -.anatomy on which their suc-
cess depends.
An American actress, for ex-
ample, who was recently appearing
at a London theatre, insured her
eyes, upon whose power of fascina-
tion she relied very largely for her
effects, for £6,000.
Similarly, Carnes) has his voice
heavily insured, whilst the hands
of Paderewski, the great pianist,
are said to be insured for something
like £50,000. Many artists, of
course, insure their hands ; and not
long ago a noted scientist, on ac-
count of the heavy strain imposed
-by research work on his eyes, de-
cided to insure his vision, despite
the high premium demanded.
Countless "freak" insurances
also have been effected. To take a
case in point --a certain erstwhile
society beauty, terrified lest her
nose, which is at once her pride
and crowning glory, should be dam-
gaed in a motor accident, has 'for
ten years . past regularly been pay-
ing an extravagant premium in or-
der that -she may, at least, get
some compensation if a "road -hog"
or unforseen occurrence mar her
beauty.

KNIVES AND FORKS.
The Fortner Was Used Long Before
the Latter.
Table forks did not come into
anything like common use in Eng -
and until the seventeenth century ;
and even then they were used for
serving food rather than transfer-
ring
it from plate to mouth. 11
The modern Persian regards the
fork as an object worthy only . of
contempt. So, too, did our fore-
fathers regard it. Your sixteenth
century ancestor, in faob, when din
lug out, found, and only expected
to find, laid on the table before him
a trencher, a napkin, and a spoon.
He provided his own kitfe, as a
matter of course, and occasionally,
no doubt, found other uses for it
on his return -journey home; whilst
at the end of each corrse 'he would I
wipe his spoon, just as the modern
Frenchman wipes his fork, dexter-
ously in a piece of bread.
And then, of course, even after it
had been accepted as necessary to
every table, the fork for a long
while had to contend with the rival-
ry of the knife, Indeed, down to
one hundred years. ago, the latter
was very much more popular than
the former for lifting food to the
nsouth; whilst even to -day there
are old people to whom, despite
the mandates of Dame Etiquette,
cheese never would be cheese un-
less they could bite it—and thereby
seemingly endanger lip and chin
from the end of a sharp piece of
Sheffield cutlery.

Its Use for Cooking Utensils
Approved by Science.
Medical men havebeen making
tests of aluminum cooking vicessel
under the varied working condi-
tions of the kitchen, and have care-
fully determined the amounts of
this element taken up by the differ-
ent materials in contact with the.
vessels.
From the results it seems to be
necessary to give warning against
only oarbonate of soda in al ,minuea
and the long standing of pure wa-
ter. Common salt, beefsteak, to-
matoes, soups, brussels sprouts,
and apples caused some -darkening
of the vessels, but the slight traces
of aluminum absorbed were not
deemed sufficient to affect health.
With acetic or ca,rtaric acid there
was no darkening or other indica-
tion of any action. Carbonate of
soda alone gave strong blackening
and showed much dissolved alumi-
num, and against the use of this
dealers in aluminum ware have of-
ten given caution.
Water boiled in vessels seemed
to have no effect. It was on stand-
ing twenty-four hours exposed to
the air that cold water caused a
white gelatinous substance to be
sweated out, and this proved to
contain aluminum and silica. Even
this combined action of 'water and
air may be avoided by a film of oil
over the water,

is another way in which the truth is

apparent contradiction to it; but
