it le an Important Factor In Digestion
and Good Health.
If it were not for &trot -eve should
not digest our food properly. Epicu-
ereantem in eating- Is the handmaid of
good health. Flavor, has been called
the soul of food.- The viands that are
most agreeable to oursense of taste,
those we enjoy most, are those we are
most likely to digest well and from
winch we are most likely to derive the
Maximum of nourishment.
A book was devoted to this subject
by Henry T. Finck of New York. He
galled it "Food .and Flavor," In a, re-
view of it the Saleetific American says:
"The psychic factor of desire must pre-,
cede ingestion or results will be unpro-

in whice that lecture .was published
was on the first steamer' that crossed
the Atlantic. The captain took it along
as a sort of curiosity. That book did
not have a very large sale, but there

WORRY' CAll KILL
Science' Proves That Fritting Fre-
i
- ntently Costs Life. „
r -
We, have often heard that worry
can kill even the nine -lived cat, but
we have only half believed it, and
until now ,we bave bad no scientific
proef that it was so. ,
Medical science has recently con-
firmed the fact and explained' how
worry coramits its murders. It bas
reached the conclusion that in many
Instances of what has been regarded
r' lunacy, and from which the vi,etim
finally dies, the ease has siraply been
one of acute worry. Instead of the
persen dying ofenental breakdown he
has worried himself to death.
Worry medical.science now defines
as the dovainance of one idea, usually
that of fear. There is a fear of some
e*istleg condition or dread of what
nay .tkapten. he idea crowds -all
otilers from the Mind, or piirmitsi
them only the feeblest aud occasional
activity. The most terrible tyranny
Is the tyranny clan idea.
This one idea pounds hammer -like
upon one set of brain cells. It over-
stiniulates them, causing an unusual
flow of flood to those portions and a
dearth of it to other parts er the
brain. This would not be serious if it
happened only now and then, for
every brain cell should be replenish-
ed by more than the usual flow of
blood at times to keep it properly -fed
and nourished. • -
But a constant overfeeding of these
cells causes a -congestion there. The
cells become more and more distend,
' ed. The wore', grows More and more,
acute. The pounding df the blood
against the sides- of the cell acquires
eoliamitaer-like violence. The sides of
the cells wear thin. A cell litiriits.
There is a so-called "clot on the
brain." Death folloWs.
The cure et- the -worry that kills is,
prevention. Refuse to worry. Do your
best, and, having done this, decline as
positively to fret about the results_ as
you wOuld decline to drink a draught
of poison. Worry comes as an occa-
sional visitant to everyone, but as we
shut our doors to -unwelcome 'visitors,
so we close the portals agaihst the
entrance of worry. Admitted, it
ceases to become a visitor --tit is :a
habit, and a habit that destroys. The
action of worry uPtini brain cells
Is most like the constant dropping
of water upon a stone. At first it
makes not the slightest impression
upon the stone, but in time it wears
It away. The cells of the brain are of
more delicate tissue, and the steady
wear and tear of the extra blood sup-
ply in time quickly wearshthem out.
Or, according to Medital science,
It is as though a garment worn day
after day without change soon falls
into. tatters. Examinations of the
brain after death have shown a group
of nerve cells at the crown of the'
head that have perished in the same
way the nerve of a tooth dies. While
every other brain cell eeems to be in
ordinary condition tars 'group has
shrunken. 11 18 a curions coincidence,
and science says a consequence, as in-
evitable as effect after cause, that the
hair on the portion of the scalp just
above this brain area is the first to
grow gray, and an excess of blood in
any portion of the brain causes the
scalp above that portion to be over-
heated.
Keep the Spade Bright.
If tbe hired man carelessly puts the
spade away without cleaning it you
may have a hard Um- e cleaning it
next tinae you go out to dig. But if
you have been careful to pot cinders
in a nice pile not more than one min-
ute will be required to clean the
spade and make it as bright as a new
dollar.
Simply dig in the cinders fora min-
ute or so, shoveling them about as
you do gravel and cement when mix-
ing concrete, and the job is °don. The
cinders should be wet, as they are
sure to be if exposed to the weather.
We learned this while shoveling
cinders into a post hole -when build-
ing a fence. It works like a charm.
RUSSiali Marriagesi
The celebration of a Russian mar-
riage sometimes extends over three
days. At the wedding festivities the
bride is expected to dance with the
men one °after another until she
drops with sheer fatigue. It is a
matter of pride with her to keep go-
ing as long as possible, and it is not
unusual to find a bride dancing gayly
after three days and three nights of
vigorous frolime When a girl is danc-
ing with a man she always holds his
pipe. It would be regarded asex-
tremely rude if a man should con-
tinue to smoke his pipe in such elm
cumstances.-Tit-Bits.

OFFING THE HAT.
0.....4./m14,4•40•4
It Was Once, a Sign. of Abject Sub-
servience to a Superior.
We consider a min a gentleman
who takes off his hat to st, lady. At
least the act is thotight to be gentle-
manly polite. The, origin of this cus-
tom, like' so "mansi other customs
common among so-calledcivilized'
peoples, go back to primittve times.
When, a person was made captive
his conqueror stripped him, of his
weapons and clothing and left him.
without 'anything he could call hie
own. The captive was thus made a
slave, his lack of clothing being evi-
dence of his subjugation. We need
only to look at the Sculptures of the
Assyrians to see the truth of this
fact. And in Isaiah :xx. 2-4, we find
the folloeving statement; "And the
Lord said, like ms my servant Isaiah
hath Walked - naked and barefoot
three years for a sign., so shall the
King ! et MOTHS lead away the
Egyptians priseners and the Ethio-
pians 'eaptives, young and old, naked
and barefoot." -
The; first step then, in tracing the
origin' of taking off the hat, is the
Surrender of the crothing among
primitive and ancient peoples- as a
mark- of submission. The next step
IS the uncovering of the body as a
mark of reverence. There are an
degrees' of uncovering, though often
only the moat valuable parts of the
clothing' are take off in the presence
of superiors.
Captala Cook tells us that during
his stay at Tahiti two men' came on
board, and,asa sign of respect, toOk
off the greater part- oftheir eicthing
and put it on Cook and kis friend.
In Abyssinia, Spencer tells us, it
Was the custom for inferiors to bare
their bodies down to the girdle be-
fore superiors. But in the presence
of equals only a corner ,of the tunic
was removed so as to -Vire the ,
'shoulder. • This baring of the shwa -
der, especially throughout the Gold
Coast, is a custom as common as
taking off the hat with us. Uneloak-
ing in Spain is similar in origin. In
Africa the men bare their shoulders
and doff their caps to superiors,
thus joining two customs in one..
It roust be remembered that this
act of uncovering the body was ceree
medal in nature and used ito show
reverence to a superior. Then -came
the use of the eeremonial to propi-
tiate the dead, We can see a, rem-
nant of this most any time. At fun-
erals and in -our graveyards men take
off their hats on entering churches
and before images of Christ and the
Madonna.
Itt times of chivalry men raieed
their hats to ladles to show rever-
ence. But this was only superficial
in meaning. A knight would ride
down a poor peasant woman carry-
ing a large burden and never think
of helping -her -least of all would he
think of taking off his hat to her.
However, if he heard of some beau-
tiful damsel of his own class in the
slightest dander, Imaginary or real,
he would go to her and, hat in hand,
kneel and dedicate himself to her
service.
To -day much the same thing oc-
curs. Ordinarily a 'gay youth fore
gets to take off his hat to his raother,
yet he shows this deference to his
"beet girl." After all it is only form,
and politeness should go deeper than
this. However, the form pernsts,
and it is • of some historical interest
to remember that it Is a remnant of
the -primitive stripping of a captive
by which process was eepressed the
fact that he yielded up ail he had.
Taking off the hat to a wealthy girl
means occasionally • not only the
yielding up of all you have, but the
getting of all she has. Ceremony is
often nothing but a hard calculation
in regard to personal results, espe-
cially where self-aggrandizement is
the ultimate aim of the polished in-
dividual.
The Bich Turkish Beggar.
Beggars are never suppressed in
Turkey. • The stnry it3 -told (and they
say it is true) about a lady who by
mistake gave a beggar of Cortstanti
nople a gold piece. The than ha
left Ms post when she returned, bu
one of his colleagues told her wher
he "resided." It was a fine hous
and at the door was a servant, who
politely informed the lady that "my
master is dressing.. He will be
down soon." And then the well
groomed beggar, dressed for dinner,
appeared and gladly returned the
gold piece, exclaiming in the mean-
while that such mistakes Were high-
ly embarrassing.
The Whole Business.
A very young housekeeper went to -
market to purchase "a spring chicken.
After selecting one and inluiring the
price she said:
-
"Isn't three shillings rather high.?
The poulterer in our toad only
charged me 2s. 9d, the other day."
"With the feet' on?" asked the
salesman.
"No. I believe, now you mention
it, the feet were cut off," she -repli-
ed, with some hesitation.
"I thought so," said the Man at
the stall. "When we 'sell al fowl here,
ma'am, we sell it feet and alt." -

Natives Used To Pan the Streets o
Quibdo For Platinurn.
Under theeprInaltive Mining con-
ditions of to -day. the Choco district
-of Colombia, stands second only to
Russia as a producer of platinum.
Most of the gold and platinum export-
ed are obtained* by native women,
working two or three hours per day.
Teey use the .antiquated ground
sluicing process as e preliminary to
get rid, of the coarser gravels and
then with their dibateas" separate
the metals from the sand and gravel.
The batea is a wooden pan, shaped
like a very shallow inverted cone,
eigbteen inches in . diameter and
three inches deep at the centre, with
two small handles or knobs on the
ri n. The women handle ..th.e habeas
w th great dexterity, throwing erthe
avel and sand by a rotary motion
aik leaving the ;gold and platititim
dust in the common eentre.
Another method of mining that is
extensively employed by these vro-
m.en is diving into three or four feet
of water for the sand and gravel con-
taining the metals and bringing it up

ly More remunerative than the siule-
ing process. -
The igold working; have exlated for
centuries, but little has been done
in the development a the district.

Large finds of this dIscarded met-
