Nourishing food is a,great desidera- tum. 2. Digestibility is also a great desidera- tum,. -'Concentrates foods should he allowed in quantity not much in excess of the re- quirements of the system. ,. 4. Foods possessing high nutritive power, should be associated with toods of very low 'ntritive power, the latter to be the bulk of the diet. 5. Concentrated foode canoe constipation and irregular action of the excretive func- tions.. 6. Bulky foods, of low nutritive power exert a marked salubrious tendency toward keeping the bowels regular and enhancing the health of the patient. Fruits and vegetables, as a rule, are ac- ceptable to most patients. They are not very nourishing (comparatively), since they contain so much water and fibre ; still they are very useful in the " make up" of a regimen for the invalid. What portion of them that is digestible is digested, and the remainder (with some few exceptions) passes on, without irritating, to swell the volume of excreta, thereby giving the testines some- thing material to work upon, and forcing a passage. It is not the quantity retained in the lower intestipal tract, but the length of time it remains there, which favors the putrefactive changes taking place in the feces of the constipated: This process of ultimate decomposition renders the con- dition constipation, so inimical to the pa- tient's health, or progress toward health. s-1 to �>J CD X11 �.

'!fie Present ii i mina* "-G Hairs In Chulalangkorn, the name of the present King, means " royal hairpin," or " royal topknot." The King's head has to be shaved in the :presence of the nobility. When a personage of high rank, dies the King helps bathe the body and prepares it for cremation, and finally lights the funeral pyre. The removal of the topknot .of_a prince, which indicates that he has, reached man- hood, is accompanied by imposing ceremon- ies which last several days. The governors of all the provinces are expected to be pre- sent with gifts. The highest recorded temperature is 97.5 degrees Fahrenheit, the lowest, 54 de- grees. Diphtheria, pneumonia, yellow and scar- let fever are unknown in Chulalangkorn's kingdom. Besides the native slaves, there are, ac- cording to one authority, 1,200,000 prison- ers of war and descendants of such prison- ers are held in captivity, to serve three months every year. 'Menem, the name by which the river flowing through 'Bangkok is generally known, is applied by the Siamese to all ivers, " me," meaning " mother," and "nam," "waters," i.e., "mother of waters." The so-called Menem.River'fs called by the natives Menam Chow Payah. The grounds about theenost costly homes are paved, no grass being allowed to grow. Flowers are grown in pots. `; Royal Some fruits or vegetables are agreeable to one patient and the reverse to another. Find the one that suits and eliminate the. other. Personally I believe that a well baked apple at each meal, or even two, if the patient's appetite permits,. is about the roper thing, suitable, as it is, to the great majority. Don't forever be dosing your poor patient witl;,physic; rather,:choose some food which will answer the purpose. The -ideal diet, then, in my estimation, is a variety, containing a small portion of highly nutritious food and a larger propor- tion of food possessing easy digestibility hut low nutritive ' power.—[Dr. Frank S. Hough. Palpitation of the Heart. By palpitation of -the heart is meant the sensation either of 'irregularity in heart -action or rapidity of heart beats. The per- son who experiences it is usually alarmed by the symptom, and calls in the doctor. Rut in most cases of this sort which are brought to his attention, the physician finds nothing out of the way with the heart, and hence of danger t o the individual. The cause of the sensation is elsewhere. In the major- ity of instances she real trouble is indiges- tion. In almost all cases of actual heart ease no intimation ofit is transmitted tohe patient by any irregularity or like sensati4r As a symptom, palpitation is valuable to' the physician, in that it directs the attention of the patient to the heart. An unusual eensation.in this region usually leads one to consult his physician at once. Symptoms felt in other parts of the •body usually wait for " the more convenient season." DoctorrAustin Flint was once summoned to attend a young lady dying of heart dis- ease. The family informed _ him that his. presence was wantecienerely - to satisfy the lady's friends, sinon they a Ikunderstood the fatal nature pf her malady:ne . en-- which The patient lay ii; a zrocinnee might B t, ryt'hing ti: t crier dNO.`BRETNOUR, FIRE AND STOCK Insurance Agent Vi.TROXE'rER.

It was s este4 h dtted that an examination 0 he the he , , and that all communation with the pagent . should take place thrieugh a friend, lest the exertion should result in immediate dissolu- tion. To this the doctor objected. When ad- mitted to her presence, • he found that she answered his questions in whispered mono- tones. Examination of the chest showed that there was no disease, and consequently no danger. The story was told to illustrate the importance of thorough examination before deciding on an opinion. Palpitation does, however, undoubtedly occur in cases of real disease, -and whenever it occurs its cease should be found out and remedied. Among the common causes of palpitation are to be numbered the excessive use of tobacco, tea, coffee, alcohol, or of certain drugs, hysteria, excessive exertion, hunger, privation, fatigue, fright or loss of sleep, and excesses of any kind. How to Get SIeep- That delicious fruit, the mangosteen, has been called Siam's peculiar glory. It grows only in Siam and a few neighboring locali- ties. The milk of cows is not considered- good for food by the Siamese. The milk in the cocoanut, however, is -much, usedee Cattle are raised for beef. Buffalo take the place of horses in ing on farm work. Among the articles of diet relished by thenatives are snails, crocodile eggs, ants, silk worms and horse beef. The banks of the common people are pots buried in the ground. Banekok has had telephone and electric lights for ten years. A considerable number of Siamese wo- men are engaged in the manufacture of jewelry, and make handsome articles- of beaten gold. A woman of the royal harem who once ventured to flirt with a young nobleman, was condemned to wear chains and cut grass for the royal elephants the rest of her life. The first telegraph line reached Siam in 1883 by way of Saigon. It was establish- ed by the French. The Portuguese were the pioneer foreign settlers in Siam. They first visited the country early in the sixteenth century and enjoyed exclusive commercial privileges for one hundred years. The Dutch came next and after them the French. The first silver coins were made in 1862 and bore the design of an elephant on one side and of royal umbrellas on the other. The present coil.- have a portrait of the king on one side. In former times shells were ed as money. The king must have been a Budbist priest, and to become a priest one must renounce all worldly honors. Hence, after Chula- langkorn had once been crowned, he re- nounced his office and became a priest for twenty-one days, after which he was again crowned. Chulalangkorn sent a block of native marble to be placed in the Washington Monument. The Siamese language somewhat resembles the Chinese. It is mostly monosyllabic and has five tones by which each word may be given five different significations, : with further, primitive derivative and figurative carry- YIATERIAL. ss.

It is to place the right hand on the forehead and the left at the back of the neck, while counting forty-nine. The rationale of this process is thus explained by Dr. Salisbury. The palm of the right hand and the fore part of the body are both plus (or positive) magnetic poles. The left palm and the back part of the body are minus (or nega- tive) poles. Like poles repel, and by thus placing the "palms of the ,hands over the various centres of plexuses, a vital current is directed back into the body, its normal circuit is thus re-established, and its ener- gies are guided and evenly distributed among the organs situated along its course.

Much jewelry is worn by the natives and young wo.nen often discard an upper gar- ment that the gold chains worn over their shoulders may not be hidden. The second king is often consulted by the first king, but has not co-ordinate authority nor right of succession. He is supposed to control one-third -of the finances and to be commander of the army. A kind of lizard which grows to be seven feet in length is found in Siam. It is known as the "he -ah," and its gall is highly prized as medicine. Among the curious animals in Siam is a species of cat which is without a tail and has blue eyes. When General Grant visited Siam he was accorded greater honors than had ever been shown a foreigner from any country. Cremation of the dead is general. Those who die a usual death may be cremated at once. Those who die of cholera, commit suicide or die by accident, must first be buried. Victims of capital punishment are thrown to dogs and vultures.
