EMERGENCY RATIONS.
Food tho Soldier feta Whon Hie Regu
lar Fade.
Of the emergency, rations of the
fighters or the world the most ostenta
tions is Uncle Sums ration of com
pressed maize meal with meat, farina
and three chocolate liars This ration
is deficient hi fsits for the very good
reason that, eveu though hermetically
sealed, it would become rancid if it
carried any more fat. It is not there i
fore a balanced ration, hut the con
tainer bolds enough actual food to keep
a soldier from starving for twenty-four
hours.
The British troops as well as the
Dutch liuve a sausage made of ground
peas highly salted, reported to have
been originated by the Scotch and
which is put up in regular sausage
skins It is said to be the most sus
taining emergency ration known.
The Italian butter ball Is interesting j
because of the perfect preservation of
the unsalted butter within the dry
cheese envelope. The compressed tab
lets of tea make it possible for one to
eat bis tea If water Is not available,
the Russians getting what they cal) a
dry cup of tea by slipping a tablet of
compressed tea into tbe mouth and al
lowing it to dissolve slowly. All sorts
of meat and fish are dried In sheets
and strips and hunks by tbe various
armies.
These are not the foods, however,
upon which armies live, but tbe emer
gency rations upon which the soldier
depends when the regular rations fail

TESTING THE DENTIST.
Ismail Pasha Didn’t Want ta Taka Any
Painful Chances.
To illustrate oriental habits of
thought Lord Cromer tells in the Quar
terly Review this story of Ismail Pasha,
kbedive of Egypt It once happened
that Ismail was suffering from tooth
ache. He sent for a European dentist,
who told him that be ought to have the
tooth out Ismail said that be wan
afraid it would be very painful. He
was Informed in reply that If be would
allow the dentist to administer laugh
ing gas to him be would feel nothing
He still doubted, but told the dentist
to bring his apparatus to the palace
The dentist complied and explained
the process to the kbedive. Ismail then
summoned an attendant and told him
to Bend up the sentry who was at his
door.
When the man arrived the khedlve
ordered him to sit down in a chair and
requested the dentist to take out a
tooth on either side of his jaw. Ismail
then asked the man whether be bad
felt anything, and the man told him
that he bad not But Ismail was not
yet satisfied He said that* the sentry
was a young, strong man and that he
would like to see the experiment tided
on some one of weaker physique.
Accordingly he summoned a slave
girl and had £he dentist extract two of
her teeth. Finding that she did not
show evidence of extreme suffering, he
then consented to have his own tooth
out.
About the Puritans.
In the American Magazine William
Roscoe Thayer says:
“It Is the fashion of late to speak
condescendingly of the Puritans as of
a people of narrow views and of men
of sour tem|»erament. but no descend
ant of theirs and no later Immigrant
who now dwells in the commonwealth
they founded and enjoys the blessings
which it bestows upon us will fail to
glory in being able to trace back to
such forerunners. The story of the
conditions which faced the passengers
of the Mayflower when they landed at
Plymouth can never be too often re
peated. To have as founders of our
state men and women who ‘had the
fear of God in their hearts, but feared
the face of no man,' rankB as the ini
tlal glory of Massachusetts.”
Simplest of Cements.
Condensed milk applied to the edges
of the pieces of broken china will keep
the article as Intact as the majority of
cements on the market today, writes
Edwin W. Ely In a letter to the Elec
trical Experimenter. Mr. Ely adds
that he has mended saucers that have
withstood washings in hot water and
has mended a telescope lenB of fairly
large size with this unique cement
