FLAVOR IN FOODS
This Quality Ih jib Much n Xeccswity
iih Ih Nutriment
Chemists tell us that cheese Js one of
the most nutritious and at the same
time one of the cheapest of foods Its
nutritive value is greater than meat
while Its cost is much less But this
chemical aspect of the matter does not
express the real value of the cheese as
a food Cheese is eaten not because of
its nutritive value as expressed by the
amount of proteids fats and carbohy
drates that it contains but always be
cause of its Havor
Now physiologists do not find that
flavor has any food value They teach
over and over again that our foodstuffs
are proteids fats and carbohydrates and
that as food flavor plays absolutely no
part But at the same time they tell us
that the body would be unable to live
upon these foodstuffs were It not for
the flavors If one were compelled to
eat pure food without flavors like the
white of an egg It is doubtful whether
one could for a week at a time consume
a sufliciency of food to supply his bod
ily needs Flavor is as necessary as nu
triment It gives a zest to the food and
thus enables us to consume It properly
and secondly it stimulates the glands
to secrete so that the foods may be
satisfactorily digested and assimilated
The whole art of cooking the great
development of flavoring products the
high prices paid for special foods like
lobsters and oysters these and numer
ous other factors connected with food
supply and production are based solely
upon this demand for flavor Flavor is
a necessity but it is not particularly
important what the flavor may be This
is shown by the fact that different peo
ples have such different tastes in this
respect The garlic of the Italian and
the red pepper of the Mexican serve
the same purpose as the vanilla which
we put in our Ice cream and all play
the part of giving a relish to the food
and stimulating the digestive organs to
proper activity Professor H YV Corn
in Popular Science Monthly
The Humming Birds Fllijht
The flight of the little humming bird
is more remarkable than that of the
eagle We can understand the flapping
of the eagles immense wing supporting
a comparatively light body But our
little bird has a plump body His wings
are not wide but long so he must
move them rapidly to sustain his
weight and this he can do to perfec
tion The vibrations of his wings are
so rapid as to make them almost invisi
ble lie can use them to sustain him
self in midair with his body as motion
less as if perched on a twig In this
way he can sip the nectar of the deli
cate fine stemmed flowers without
alighting for a moment lie never
alights while so engaged He moves
from flower to flower with a graceful
and rapid movement sometimes chas
ing away a bee or humming bird moth
of which he is very jealous Nor is he
much more favorably Impressed with
any small birds that seem in his way
He knows his power of flight and he
has no fear of any other bird Henry
Hales in St Nicholas
Lemurs For the Zoo
The national zoo has just received
through an animal dealer in Philadel
phia a magnificent pair of the large
black and white lemurs indigenous to
the island of Madagascar This makes
the fourth pair of these animals
brought to this country and in addi
tion to being highly attractive by rea
son of their coat of long jet black and
snow white hair and their abnormally
large and luminous eyes they are of
very great interest from the viewpoint
of science and evolution
The lemur stands in the same rela
tion to apes and monkeys as they in
turn stand to the human race only in
the case of the lemurs and apes the
missing link connecting the two gen
era is in real and actual existence be
ing realized in the aye aye a pecul
iar animal also of Madagascar that is
as much lemur as it is simian
The Retort Conrteous
A story oft told is that of Lord

test Hes the son of a country bar
ber said the noble lord
Replying afterward Mr Sugden said
His lordship has told you that I am
nothing but the son of a country bar
ber but he has not told you all for I
have been a barber myself and worked
in my fathers shop and all I wish to
say about that is that had his lordship
been born the son of a country barber
he would have been a barber still That
to my mind Is quite clear Household
Words
He II nd Great expectations
now do you account for the fact
that Miss Bullion the wealthiest heir
ess of the season is going to marry
Nodo who hasnt a cent to his name
Oh but he has great expectations
He has What are they
