Tbe Food Value of Nuts.
Nuts are not only the cheapest sourcp
of energy ; they are the best. They are
made up of fat and what is called "pro
tein. " The little husks on the nuts are
not nourishing , but they should be eat
en with the nuts because they help in
digestion.
But nuts ore so hearty a food that
they should never be eaten except as
the chief dish at a meal ; they should
not be taken at the end of a heavy
meal nor between meals. It is quite as
foolish to eat nuts after a meal as it
would be to eat a beefsteak after a
three course dinner.
Nuts can be made into soups , can be
used in sandwiches , salads and in oth
er combinations boh attractive and
wholesome. They should be eaten with
salt and eaten with all sorts of fruit. A
whole wheat pudding with chopped
nuts in it makes a meal by itself.
Nuts will keep you warm , give ener
gy , and , if you do not work too hard ,
they will increase your flesh , but do not
eat nuts to any amount unless you give
up meat , for they are a substitute , not
a food accessory.
A Troublesome Ant.
In the state of Colombia there is a
large ant ( Atta cephalotes ) which
causes a great deal of injury to planta
tions. It attacks and carries off indis
criminately all kinds of foliage , and no
sort of vegetation seems to come amiss
to > it. The quantity of foliage carried
off by these ants is immense. A natu
ralist recently investigated the uses to
which the ants put this mass of vege
table matter , and he ascertained that
they employ it to make hotbeds upon
which their eggs are deposited to be
hatched tiy the heat produced by the
fermentation of the leaves. The ants do
not eat these portions for food , and the
larval are fed upon a carefully selected
diet. Once the brood is hatched ihe
ants clear away the hotbed , carrying
out of their nest all the decomposed
vegetable matter. This is thrown out
in heaps apart , and in the large ant
hills these heaps will contain bushels
and upward.
The First English Slave Trader.
Sir John Hawkins was the first Eng
lish slave trader. He formed a com
pany composed of the leading men of
London and fitted out three small ships ,
which sailed in 15G2. Later Queen
Elizabeth lent Hawkins Jesus , a large
ship of her own of 700 tons , aud tool-
shares in the second African company.
She not only equipped the ship , but put
100 soldiers on board to provide for
contingencies. On the second voyage
Hawkins bought 400 negroes and had
a narrow escape from losing them ow
ing to the lack of water when he was
near the equator. But , as he piously
recorded in his log , "The Almighty God
would not suffer his elect to perish and
sent a breeze which carried them safe
to Dominica. " This was the beginning
of the slave trade , which lasted for
more than two centuries before it was
finally suppressed.
Tartans of Scotch Clans.
Many Scotch clans have several tar
tans , such as a common tartan , a huntIng -
Ing tartan and a full dress tartan. Ear
ly in the day a highlander of position
dons n kilt of plain tartan , and in the
evening for dinner he puts on his full
dress tartan , with sporran and richly
jeweled dirk. For example , the Mac-
pherson dress tartan is black and
white , with a narrow red line , and the
hunting Macpherson is a small blue
and b'lack and red check. The Stuarts
have three tartans , and the design of
their hunting tartan in dark blue and
green is particularly fine. Each clan
has its own badge. The Duff men wear
holly , the Gordons an ivy leaf , the
Stuarts an oak leaf , and so on.
