sea lish contain a tonic quantity of io-
dine, and are good nerve foods. With
the exception of cayenne, the earlier
dishes should be mildly seasoned; the
entrees may become piquant gradually;
the ice or Roman punch refreshes the
tissues of the month and throat, which

the liquid coolness counteracts those
feverish conditions, and prepares the pal

The accumpanyay salad greatly en
hances the intense flavor of the roast,
while the condiments und salad oil favor
digestion. The dessert sweets tend to
regulate the combination of the nutri
tive elements in the blood, exercising a
chemical action not yet thoroughly un
derstood. Black coffee or tea without
milk has an ustringent effect, that is, it
contracts the mucous membrane of the
digestive organs, interfering with the
flow of the gastric and intestinal fluids,
and thus retarding digestion.
When their effect is desirable, the
warmth and stimulus derived from
either of those beverages can be replaced
by drinking a gljss of hot milk and wa

Its Origin In Doubt.
The other day i casually asked a drug
clerk the origin of the many colored
lights which are now the universal signs
of a drag store. The youth referred me
very pleasantly to nn older man in the
store, who Anally admitted that ho knew
about as little ns bis younger associate.
I called in every drug store on upper
Broadway and made tho same query. At
each place the question seemed to par
alyze the younger members of the estab
lishment. The older clerks contented
themselves with the opinion that it was
only to attract attention that various
colored lights were represented by jets
behind liquid in a glass bottle. 1 ascer
tained that there was a great deal of
knack in preparing the liquid so ns to
give a clear light of whatever color de
sired and to stand the test of time with
out precipitation.
One clerk spitl he thonght that the
custom could be traced bock two or three
hundred years until it faded into the
barber pole that is now the sign of the
tonsorini artists throughout the English
speaking world. Auother man, who
seemed to get a little nearer to it than
the rest, said that it originated with the
early chemists and alchemists, who desig
nated their plnces of business in this way.
All of them expressed a desire that when

Primitive MsthoCs of Washing.
At Edinburgh the poorer classes still
oo their weekly lanndering as it was
done years ago. They convey their
washing to tho river, dump it into large
tabs and fill their tubs with water that
has been heated in huge pnblio kettles.
Then the women poll off their shoes and
stockings, nnd, bolding their iUrts well
np about their waists, get into the tubs
and tread on the steaming linen, there
by squeezing all the dirt ont of the sev
eral pieces. This is so common a spec
