When appetite fails, it re-

burden, it lifts the burden.
When you lose flesh.it brings
the plumpness of health.
When work is hard and
duty is heavy, it makes life
bright.
It is the thin edge of the
wedge; the thick end is food.
But what is the use of food,
when you hate it, and can't di¬

Bakers in France are subject to re¬
strictions and regulations undreamed
of in England. In the fortified towns
along the frontier they are bound by
law to have a certain stock of flour al¬
ways on hand in case of emergencies.
The bakery not only has to be kept
ciean. but the baker lias to deposit
with the local authorities a certain
sum of money as a surety tor the prop-
er conduct of his business.
Tiie law also looks after bis weights
and measures, which circumstance
places him in the same position as the j
British baker, but in addition the law ;
which bread ;
regulates the price at can |
be sold.
Napoleon III ordered on onp occasion ;
that a loaf about equai to our quartern
should be sold tor uot more than six-
pence, and this at a time when we i
were paying eightpence and uiucpence. 1

A Sympathetic Memory j I
In a western Massachusetts town
lives a young woman who is blessed
with both discrimination and tact.
The first of these admirable qualities
she has displayed by her two mar¬
riages. Her first husband was a minis¬
ter. a most delightful man. lie died,
and after a lapse of five or six years
she was united to his only brother, who
was a successful lawyer in New York.
On her library desk stands a picture
of the first partner of her joys and sor¬
rows, and one day a curious caller ask-
ed whom the photograph represented.
“That.” said the hostess, with evi
dent emotion, “is a picture of my hus-j
band’s brother, who died eight years
ago and who was very dear to us
both.”—Youth’s Companion.

HE USED THE SALT TEST.
Au Old Apache Chiefs Knowledge
of the Human Sj-stesu.
In the early days of Union Pacific
railroading Victoria, Nana and Geron-
imo, the three chiefs of the Arizona
Apaches, with 100 of their best bucks,
came through to Green River. Wy.
They had heard of the "heap wagon
and no boss” and had come to stop the
train. They made a lasso of rawhide,
and 50 men on each side held on to the
rope as the freight came down the
Wasatch divide. The engineer saw
when several miles away what the In¬
dians were up to, so he whistled “off
brakes” and, opening his throttle, let
her loose. The cowcatcher struck the
rope and hurled the Indians in all direc¬
tions. literally tearing them to pieces,
headless, armless and legless, Tiie
three chiefs went south to their cactus
plains very crestfallen.
Before they selected these men the
old Chief Victoria bad them all eat a
piece of rock salt about as big as a
pecan, run swiftly about 100 yards, sit
down on a log or rock aud cross their
legs. Then he watched the vibration
■ of the feet, which were crossed. The

the signal talk of the Indians across I
unies of i:i- vinii -g ground, a signal j
used in rah ying the warriors for an at- j
tack or warning them for a retreat i
when that seemed advisable.
The Indian had a way of sending up !
the smoke in rings or puffs, knowing
that such a smoke column would at
once be noticed and understood as a

SO me campfire. He made the rings by
covering the little fire with his blanket
f or a moment and then suddenly re¬
moving the blanket and allowing the
smoke to ascend, when he instantly
covered the fire again. The column of
ascending smoke rings said to every
Indian within 30 miles: “Look out.
There is an enemy near.” Three
smokes built cl< 3 so together meant dan- j
ger. One smoke merely meant ntten- I
tion. Two smokes meant “Camp at
