Rules That Have Been Teeted and Found to Be of Service. From the Philadelphia Record. ‘The number of people afflicted with this peculiar and uncomfortable sensation after eating is by no means small. It means simply that either because the person is fatigued or because the food is indigestible, or because the nervous system which con- trols the digestive processes ts out of order, the act of digestion is either wholly arrested or is very improperly carried on. People troubled in this way can observe two or three plain rules which will entirely prevent the difficulty and will be of great benefit to their general health. First, eat nothing until there ts a positive appetite for food. It will be far better to skip one’s dinner entirely, and far less in- jurious to the general health, than to eat when weary, when excited, when nervous or when the appetite is not present. If great hunger comes on in the middle of the afternoon an apple or a piece of bread and butter will have a relish and flavor un- dreamed of under ordinary circumstances, and will prevent the faintness which might arise before the regular hour for a nourish- ing supper. Second, eat something which requires con- siderable chewing, especially at the begin- ning of a meal. This involves the use of dry foods, but it does not mean the entire absence of liquids from the meal. The rea- son why food that has to be chewed 1s val- uable is because in the process of mastica- tion a large amount of saliva is secreted, and this is an important factor in digestion. If liquid is desired at meal time it is not likely to do great harm ff it is not too cold, provided it is not swallowed at the same time the dry food is put in the mouth. The man who washes down each mouthful of bread with a swallow of milk, tea or cof- fee has no saliva mixed with his food. whereas, if he thoroughly masticates his mouthful of dry food, swallows it, and then takes his swallow of milk, he will interfere re less with the proper processes of diges- ion. Dr. J. H. Kellogg has made some interest- ing experiments, showing the amount of saliva secreted by the glands of the mouth while dry food is being chewed. A piece of paraffin chewed for five minutes produced two-thirds of an ounce of saliva, one ounce of granose, a dry food prepared from wheat, increased in weight to two ounces: one ounce of bread chewed for five minutes caused the production ofone ounce of saliva; one ounce of raw apple produced one and one-fourth ounces. Third, eat digestible food food is a variable term, by the individual. fectly harmless for only. Digestible ‘and is determined Articles which are per- one individual are very serious hindrances to the physical well-be. ing of another. Experience is the chief gulde, and when articles of tdod cause dis- ess and seem to hurt you, the part of - dom 1s to let them alone. Page ee ao A Stuffed Shark for Hire. From the New York Sun. A great variety of things may be rented; one might not expect to find stuffed sharks among them, but it {s possible to hire a stuffed shark if anybody should want one. In the varied stock of a New York taxider- mist there is a great shark eight or ten feet in length, mounted in an attitude that splays its flercencss and power. This shark is sometimes rented by fishing clubs on their outing days, and carried on the top of a tally-ho coach as an appropriate emblem or as an evidence of the prowess of the club’s members es fishermen. WORL® OF SPOR 35 Interest in Foot Ball Already ", Aroused, AGAMEFOR SATURDAY A Prize Bass Caught Near Ana- _,lostan Island.

The members of last year’s foot ball team at the Central High School called a meet- ing last Monday, of those who are trying for this year’s team. The cardidates for captain were Jolly, last year’s quarter; Oyster, last year’s full back, and Albert, who played right half. Jolly was elected captain, with a total of eighteen votes. Jolly was a member of last year’s graduat- ing class, but has returned to take a spe- cial course. His presence will give the boys more confidence, and will assure the Centrals of having a competent quarter. There are a large number of candidates and a heavy team will be chosen from them, with which the Centrals hope to hold the High School foot ball championship. Engravtrs and Canterburys. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing Base Ball Team will-try conclusions with the Canterbury nine this afternoon at Na- tional Park, to settle the question of the championship of the District. The bureaus are the champions of the Departmental League, while the Canterburys claim that honor in the District Amateur League, al- though it is a much-discussed question whether the title of champions should be- long to the Shamrocks or the Canterburys. At all events, the two teams will line up this afternoon, and a close and hot con- test is expected. The bureau team will be made up from Winkleman, Bernard, Spring- man, Beach, Belaski, Leech, McCauley, Flaherty, Cropley, Nichols, Kleinschmidt, Williams and ‘Harding; and the Canter- burys from Loveless, Williamson, Langley, Williams, Moran, Bishel, Flaherty, Brown, Hussey, Quinn, Warren, Hamacher and Hughes. Betts, the ex-league umpire, will handle the indicator. A New Bicyele Cl The young laéies and gentlemen of the Eastern High School who are devotees of the whee! have organized a bicycle club. At the last meeting Mr. Walter French was elected captain and Miss Georgie Forbes Meutenant. Both Mr. French and Miss Forbes are of this year’s graduat- ing class and are excellent riders. The club has bright prospects, since the in- tention of the captain is to draw up a schedule of runs which will no doubt be well attended. The following are members: Misses Wheipley, Easton, Wilbur, Potter, Weide, Courtz, Sanderson, Murphy, Forbes, Brown, Stuart, Phelps, Reed, Thompson and Kennedy, and Messrs. Smith, Law, Hallam, Brown, Weaver, Bell, DeGrain, French, Erly, Miller and Hunter. Harding Still Leads. Another large crowd witnessed the match game of pool last night between Bernard Harding and Edward Smith. Harding at cnca went at his man and led for the first 7% balls. Then Smith began to play, pass- ing Harding’s lead. They went along in this way for the next 150 balls. After this Hardirg settled down and began to play in his old-time form and Smith went all to pieces. The score for last night was: Harding, 200; Smith, 172. The complete score row stands: Harding, 400; Smith, 341. The game will be continued tonight.’ Mr. Lewis again acted as referee. ——__ LANDING A BIG BAss, Mr. Grenville Lewis’ Great Catch in the Little River. One of the largest black bass recently caught in the Potomac river was captured Saturday last by Mr. Grenville Lewis of Eckington. This fino fish was taken from Little river, the stream flowing between Analostan Island and the Virginia shore, which was once a famous feeding ground for these gamy fellows that are acknowl- edged to be worthy of the efforts of any sportsman. Mr. Lewis has fished in the Potomac and its estuaries for many years, and is thorcughly familiar with every stretch of water from the bay to the most northerly haunts of the bass and perch on this stream. Saturday he was trying his luck near the old causeway which crosses Little river, and had caught a small string of perch and cat. Remembering the good old days when the current was swift enough in this stream to,make a fine feed- ing ground for bass, he yet had no hopes of catching any good specimens of that fam- ily of the finny tribe, when suddenly late in the dey he felt a strike, his hook being baited with a minnow. He realized at once that the fish was a large one and set about to play his victim, which at once evidenced a thorough knowledge of all the tactics re- serted to by game fish when hooked. Mr. Lewis did not then know that a bass was on his line, but he had reason to suspect that fact from the doublings and the speed of the fish, which raced through weeds and grass and for twenty minutes gave the fisherman one of the liveliest bits of sport he ever knew. Mr. Lewis’ boat was anchored, but so fierce were the struggles of the bass that the craft was swung around in a com- plete circle, being towed hither and thither by the desperate fish. Several times he doubled in an effort to disgorge the hook, but Mr. Lewis kept a tight line on him. At one time the fisherman thought that he had lost his prey when the bass took a sudden sweop under his boat and there was danger of the line being tangled in the anchor rope. After a Icng effort, how- ever, the bass was brought to the sur- face, and for the first time Mr. Lewis real- ized what a magnificent catch he had made. But he had no landing net, and he was alone in the boat, so that the problem cf getting the bass over the gunwale was @ difficult one. With extreme care he grad- ually pulied the fish’s head out of the water and steadily holding the line taut with his left hand he stealthily reached his right one over and grasped the great fish by the gills with a sudden movement. It was only when the fisherman swung the bass into the boat that he appre- clated the size of his capture. Throwing it to the bottom he quickly sat down on the struggling fish, which was almost a match for him even under these unequal conditions. This was sport enough for one day, and as quickly as possible he got his boat ashore and had the fish weighed. It Upped the scales at exactly five and one- half pounds, and Mr. Lewis’ catch is, therefore, entitled to be classed as one of the largest black bass ever caught in the Potorrac river. On reaching his home Mr. Lewis had the fish photographed by his daughter. In order to give a com- parative measurement of its length and breadth it was placed against a copy of The Star flat against a wall. The cut here shown gives ‘a good idea of the di- mensions of this beautiful catch. Formerly some splendid strings of bass were caught ,in the Juittle river, but of late years the’current has been made slug- gish by the filling up of that small stream, and at tires it is little more than a marsh, filled with fresh water only at the rising of the tide. In the early days of Washing- ton Analostan Island was entirely separ- ated from the Virginia mainland by a broad, swiftly-flowing stream, and _ the causeway constructed to give access fram Virgin! to the island shore sufficiently restricted the current to give those swirl- ing eddiee which the bass love to frequent in search of food. It is related that sey- eral years ago a well-known fisherman of Washington during a single afternoon caught from Little river five black bass aggregating sixteen pounds, or a little more than three pounds each on the average. Occasionally good specimens of this fine fish are caught below the Little Falls, but the bulk of the fishing for black bass is now done in the upper stretch of the river above Great Falls. -—_»+—___ DIAMOND SCINTILLATIONS. Kaffr Searchers in the Mines Work Under Wire Nettings. From the Chautauquan. ‘The first diamonds discovered in Africa were found by a trader who saw some children playing with what they supposed were pebbles, one of which, at least, prov- ed to be a diamond worth $3,000. Even at that early day the news of the discovery was not long in spreading to different coun- tries, ard not many years passed before so many claims were taken up that it was im- pessible to keep them separate und the re- sult was one vast mining district some 15,000 square miles in area, controlled and worked by various corporations and syn- dicates. Besides these there a large number of individual diggers. The mining in the African field is done by thousands of wild-eyed, black-skirned na- tives. These Kaffirs are large, powerful men, cleanly In their habits, and during the time for which their labor is contracted, usually a month, they are deprived of all freedom. Communication with any one out- side the limits of the mine is forbidden. They are compelled to live within the wall- ed irclosure or compound owned by the company. While in their employ the Kaffirs are clothed and fed by the company, and if sick or injured they are cared for at the experse cf the corporation. Every possible precaution is taken to pre- vent the native workmen from stealing the gems. A wire nettirg covers the top of tho compound, making {t impossible to throw a stone over the walls, to be picked up by a confederate or an illicit diamond buyer. Every night at 5 o'clock, as the miners leave thelr work, each {s searched with great rigidity by the company’s agent. So expert have the natives become in their robteries that every portion of their bodies is carefully examined with a “sounding hammer,” and by the light of a candle the sole of each foot is examined for the tell- tale refraction of light which reveals a dia- mond pushed under the thick skin of the foot through an incision so deftly covered that it is easily overlooked. But the search- er has Lecome as great an adept in his work as the robber in his roberies, until it is almost Impossible for the thief to suc- cessfully secrete a stone, and the prospect of severe punishment or of several years’ imprisonment in a South African dungeon has no doubt had its influence in reducing the robberies to a minimum. ——+-o--____—_ Benedictine. From the London Spectator. In one of the most romantic districts of France, the lower Seine, is the antique ab- bey of a very ancient religious order. The records of the Benedictine fraternity date back so far as the first decade of the sixth century. Most of their houses appear to have been noted for the industrial just as much as the ecclesiastical aim or tendency. “To labor is to pray” seems to have been their motto. Much doubt exists as to the exact century in which these monks in- vented the filustrious old liquor which to this day bears their name, Benedictine, and which breathes a kind of gentle benedic- tion on the close of many a modern ban- quet; but no doubt exists as to the excel- lence of their product. Possessed of the secret which they had wrung from nature's bosom, the strange secret how to concoct this cordial, the monks kept it as they found {t—a ‘sacred mystery. For years at the venerable abbey of Fecamp this indus- try was chiefly located and carried on un- der the shadow of the rose. which flower is supposed by later mystics to have imparted to the flufd its own rich depth of color. The French revolution came, and on the crest of its crimson billow was cradled the industrious, as were the Benedictine monks; the revolution and its Caliban had no use for them. They and their famous cordial sank into temporary desuetude. But the precious secret did not perish. The monks no longer made Benedictine openly, but it is still manufactured at Fecamp by a cu- rious corporation, said to be composed chiefly of socialists. This bears the odd title “Anonymous Association of the Dis- tillery of the Benedictine Cordial of the Abbey of Fecamp.” It has a capital of £100,000, and a special depot in Paris, on the Haussmann boulevard. No one ever succeeded in making a good counterfeit of Benedictine. ——_+-e+__ Insure your plate glass with Yellott & Clephane, 608 1ith'street northwest, Washington, D. es Bicycles Enlarge Waists. London Correspondence New York Sun. An astonishing physiological phenome- non is just announced from Paris. It is that the size of the waists of all women of fashion has suddenly increased three or four inches. Fashion makers, it is de- clared, have decided that the generous Grecian waist is to be the standard. Search for an explanation of this sudden Gecree brings an interesting statement from a high authority. He says: “Warnings by medical men against e: cessive tight lacing are at last being heed- ed, but in reality the bicycle is responsible for the movement You can have no idea of the large proportion of our customers who have taken to the wheel. It is de- cidedly a great majority. Naturally the exercise has demanded more freedom of respiration and movement and an increase in the dimensions of the corset. Little by little ladies are coming to the conviction that a trifle more liberty in this respect takes a great difference in their comfort, without in any way detracting from their appearance, so the present movement is de- eidedly in favor of more latitude, though only within reasonable proportions. An inch and a half to a couple of inches, as a rule, meet all requirements. With the present fashion of loose blouses, instead of tightly fitting bodices, the difference is scarcely perceptible.” cael B With the Managing Editor.

ARCTIC FRUITS. Some of the Dainties That Grow Amid Iee and Snow. In spite of the latitude and the arctic current Labrador is the home of much that is delictous. Neighboring islands furnish the curlew berry and bake apple in profu- sicn, and tpon the mainland, in the proper month (September), a veritable feast awaits one. There are three varieties of blucberries, huckleberries, wild red currants, having a pungent, aromatic flavor, unequaled by the cultivated varities; marsh berries, rasp- berries, tiny white capillaire tea berries, with a flavor like some rare perfume and having just a faint suggestion of winter- green; squash berries, pear berries ahd cur- Jew berries, the latter not so grateful as the others, but a prime favorite with the Es- Quimaux, who prefer them to almost any other, and lastly, the typical Labrador frutt, which, excepting a few scattering Plants in Canada and Newfoundland, is found, I believe, nowhere else outside of the peninsula—the gorgeous bake apple. These cover the entire coast from the St. Lawrence to Ungava. Their beautiful ger- anium-like leaves struggle with the rein- deer moss upon the islands, carpet alike the low valleys and the highest hilltops and even peep from banks of everlasting snow.
