The day 11 tke Sretty lady came with the cop" was a ay in the calendar of those children, who, doubtless, were all thieves after their kind. They remembered it, per haps, the more particularly too, because, when the callers had been gone a little while, old Hannah, tke crone aforesaid, knocked tke ashes out of ker pipe, lifted tke loose board in tke floor, and took Sana out of his bed there a bed in which most of them kad slept, and to which fresh air came from a chimney flue; and then there kad been a smothered outcry, for it looked as though Sam was dead. But it turned out that Sam was alive, after all ; he was only sounder asleep than usual. He slept almost all the time, as they used to wish tkey might, instead of being sent out on their beats a dark little croature, with close-ly-shaved bead, and with a vacant stare in kis stupid eyes whenever he opened them. Sam had been whipped two or three times by old Hannah because ke didn't answer to kis name when he was awake. He answered to it now. . But, on the whole, tkey hadn't een muck of Sam since he came, for tkey were out, each on his own lay, most of the time, at different hours of the day and night.

In other places the dogs had driven them off. but this sleepy and lazy old fellow showed nothing but hospitality. He followed whether he would or no. The dog led him into a large room first, with wide windows, through which a flood of moonlight fell. It fell upon an open organ with white glimmering open organ with wnite glimmering keys, as sam saw it, some iaea oi a singer sitting there seemed to rise on his fancy a singer who had one arm around him as she sang, and held his head n gainst her shoulder. What should ke know of singing P Since ke bad seen old Hannah, singing had been unheard. As he moved, tne blackboard caught his eye, half covered 'with some uncouth characters in chalk. He remembered "now that he had heard of a little boy who showed the big children what he could do one night. He crept toward the blackboard, and took up the crayon and made one or two of those misshapen letters over again. Then he put down the crayon those men were waiting for kim outside. But the dog still held his rags, and by gentle motions led kim on, and into a large sleeping-room, with its three little waits beds where children lay dreaming, and one little bed that waa empty. On this bed thsdog bounded, and in every way he knew invited Sam. But Sam turned away, and went back to tke play-room; something seemed to delight kim in the white glimmer of the large room, as if the spirits of dead pleasures lingered there. As ke stood in the door tke naoonllgktnow lay full on tke great whitn rocking-horse, 'all saddled, all bridled, all fit for a flgkt ;" and there in front of tke empty firs-place was a

little empty ohalr; tke dog stretched himself at his feet. It seemed so pleasant, so warm, and comfortable ! He waa not so much afraid of those men onte'nle as he had been ; the children's faoee looked at him in tke white light out of the roses on the gilded trellis as if they wished kim to stay; tke little head nodded and fell forward on his breast. But all tkis seemed exceedingly out of tke way to Tribune: and after awhile it apparently occurred to kim that if lie cou lu not make Sam go to bed, he could go and speak to kis mistress about it; and it waa his cold nose in her band that woke Mrs. Dean from her uneasy slumber. In a moment she was out of bed. There is something wrong," she said to her husband. What is the matter with TribP" And before her husband was fairly awake, she had followed the dog to a playroom, and there, with tke moonlight falling round him, sound asleep, lite head upon

his breast, in the little chair before the .

It has long been considered, as by common consent a law of health, that all food should be eaten slowly, not swallowed until well ma-sticatod. Some observations and experiments, howevor, have been recently made which indicate strongly that this'principle of slow flatintr. so far as health is eoacernsiow eaung, so wr w ubiui is cuacerned. is not true with respect to all vane- . . . . ties of food. Animals in a state of nature, as is gen - rj erally recognized, tend to accommodate themselves in the most favorable man - ner to lheir conditions; if a cow natnraliy ruminates, wny snouia a aog natural ly take a chunk of raoat at a swallow without stonninc to chew it? It mav ue saia mat ine rumiuant na , tpwrnu uiresuve suummus, uuu wis isit iomains that the food is eaten as is best suited to it, and the dog, following na- . ture, doee what is best for him, or, in other words, if it disagreed with his digostion 10 eai rapmiy, uo wouiu riuriu im) tdlra it ninra iilnwltr TTnllnwino nt. and take it more slowly. Following ont this idea, experiments were made upon a dog, with the following results : If the meat, before being fed to the dog, was reduced to a hash, or cut into fine pieces, the digestion was at beet imperfect, a considerable portion of the undidoc in lare pieces, it waa bolted at srulo. with the result that little, if any. passed through undigested; compared with the result from tne chopped meat, ' it could be called a perfect digestion for the coarse form, as compared with ade-

On fats it has only a slight emulsifying action, and on proteids none, its characterjistio property is that of converting starch t into grape-sugar." According to Wundt. the mouth secretiens possess. besides mechanical, chiefly a chemical action the changing over of the starch 1 1 1 ! 7- 1 1L. 1 ana glycogen conmineu in tne iuuu miu sugar. The ferment ooay, wnicn produces this transformation, ptyaline, is not a specific element of the mouth-secretion, since, aside from tke intestinal secretions, all tissues and fluids of the body contain starch-ferment." From this it will be seen that no digestive action on meat or animal food takes place before reaching the stomach, and that, for vegetable food even, the action of the mouth-secretions Is far from all-important. As to the mechanical action of the mouth in preparing tha food for deglu tition, this is not specially necessary for morsels of meat of the ordinary siae in troducsd into the mouth, while for a large portion of the vegetable or plant products eaten and it is upon these that the saliva exerts its chemical action mastication is necessary before tbsy can be swallowed. The meat-foods are in themselves sufficiently moist, while many dried fruits, breads, and the like, in endless variety, first need thorough reduction. A niece of iellv the size of a walnut would give little trouble in swallowing, ainas it is moist and of a yielding char acter, while few can swallow a pill the sine of a pea without distress. Teeth

and ohswing, tken, kave their purpose, but with tke exception of tke incisors ooeaaionally, that purpose does not in. olude meat unless it kas become dried; this is with respect to the food before it reaches the stomach, but, of course, the question then arises : Would it not be a better condition for digestion if it hj been thoroughly masticated f The food on reaching the stomach is kept in a rotary motion by the muscular walls, and only after a time does it be. gin to pass the pyloric cdfice, and then only by degrees, since the dige&tion farther on is a much finer operation, and can go on but slowly. The length of time that the digestion properly take, is, according to the present knowledge of the subject, several hours in fjt, somewhat longer than has generally been supposed. Now, if the meat is swallowed fine cut, it begins to pass through very quickly, and before it has been fully aoted upon by the gastric juice. This action as regards meats consists in dissolving the saroolemma from the muscular fibers, and dissolving proteid matters and converting them into peptones. ... On starch, gastrio juice has jer sc no effect watever. . . On grapo'Sugar and cane-sugar healthy gastrio juice has no cifect." In ists alone it has a slight emulsifying effect, but if still in the tissue it is dissolved out. Milk U accordingly acted on by being first curdled on 1 caching tho stomach, after which it is leisurely dissolved again in the desired form.

llic rotary movement of the contents I of the stomacii is to facilitate the action j of the gastric juice to bring the various particles and lumps of the entire mass into contact with it as it exudes from the stomach's walls. If the material has come Ironi the mouth finely ground up, a considerable portion goes over into 1 a. i 1 r :i i..i shortly to dissolve, passing into a more or loss lluid condition, and this can be taken care of with about the same rapidity by the digestive apparatus following; by this arrangement no portion of the ( ioou woum ot! suowou to pass irom mo stomach unprepared for the next step in the digesitive process. All portions, then, even the finest fiber, of a meat diet, must be acted upon by the gastric juice before passing on ; and this action progresses oest oy slowly wearing off i the outside of the morsels Prof. Ludwighss made some general nxrinrinianLq as to th trtith of thi thoo. experiments as w me inun 01 una meorv noon himself, eatintr coarsely cut himself. meat at one time and fine at another. - . . 1 without at least being able to detectany ,, tv t ; H enecw 1 large a$ it was convenient to swallow. Many workingmen, business men, and others, almost .bait their food without loss of excellent digestion ; we should bear in mind, of oourse, that they have to chew much of their vegetable food for convenience in swallowing, and also that the indigestion of business men occasionally is due more to their nervous condition at the time. A slight amount of chewing or mumbling serves to detect harsh substances, J as bones, and to prepare for swallowI insr: foreign matters of considerable siae will, however, gradually make their way, and, if not,rough, may pass without injury. The writer once had an experience of this nature with a piece of iron an inch in length and a third in diameter. To conclude, then, with respect to man as well as other flesh-caters : it n not only uot necessary, but also not best, to chew meat of any kind to a fine condition, but to swallow it in convenient morsels ; this militates against hash. With regard to all non-meat food, careful mastication is better, but hardly so necessary as has been supposed. rrof. Wm. Brmninq, England. Swallewlng I'nlverized Glass. Mr. Cichia Lensburg, Le Sueur Coun ty, got on a spree last week (Monday), at Montgomery, and onereo to wager that he could swallow the glass con tained in a whisky flask. The wager was taken up by one of the party present, whereupon the drunken man proceeded to swallow the pulverised glass, and also a tallow candle. Strange to relate, that night he felt no ill ell'ccts caused by the rash deed, but next day the glass began to cut and grind his bowels, compelling the man to writhe and scream in agony. This continued until Thursday morning, when the poor wretch was brought to New Prague, in the delusive hope that aphysician could save him from his inevitable and fastapproaching death. Of course no physician's skill could now save or even prolong the life that had been so deliberately, though unknowingly taken. It was pitiful and heartrending to hear the poor mortal moan aud scream in agony as the death-dealing glass slowly hut constantly cut its way into the vitals. This could not long continue, however, and death kindly relieved the suffering man Thursday afternoon. A post-mortem examination was held, and the man's stomach and intestines were found to be literally ground to pieces. A wife and nine children are left dependent by the foolhardiness of a man crazed by drink. This may prove a timely warning to those addicted to the excessive use of a substance sa deadly in its final effects as that swallowed by the man who came to so untimely an nd.Skakopet (Minn.) Argus.
