What a Man can Live E on.

In the year 1910, some expert
Iments were instituted in the elias
gov prison, on the diet of q selected
numb ber of the inmates. The per
sons were fed on the following fare
For b brealfast, they had eight ounces
Of oatmeal made into a porridge,
with d pint of buttermilk; for dinner
threepounds Of boiled potatoes, with
salt; for supper, fv e ounces of oat-
meal porridge, with one-half pint Of
buttefmilk. At the end of two
months the'r we're all in goo a health,
each person Iha a gained fou t pounds
weight, and they liked the diet, the
cost Of which, including the cooking,
was two peHce and three tarthings
per day. Other ten men were fed
at the same tin he solely on boiled po-
tatoes and salt; each had two pounds
for breakfast, three pounds fer dinner,
and ne pound for supper. They
gained three and a half pou1 1ds each;
and they declare ed that they preferred
this fare to the ordinary diet of the
prison. Twelve others wer fed on
the sa me allowa nee Of porliH iHge and
milk for breakfast ana suppe / as the
first ten; but for dinner t hey had
soup, containing two pounds of pota-
toes to each, and a quarter of a pound
of me eat. At the end Of two months
they had lost in weight on and
quarter pounds each, and they all
disiiked this diet. The exp pense of
each daily, was three pence an d seven
eighths. Twenty others had the
same breakfast and supper, with one
pound of potatoes for Dime ,, and a
half a pound Of meat. They pre-
served good lealth, but deer eased in
weight and 8pr eferred the ordinary
diet of the plssoh b. The expense was
four pence and seven-eighths each.
In these cases, perhaps, the previous
habits and tastes of the prisoners had
some Influence; yet, it appe4 rs that
the si4pounds of potatoes, daily, was
a better diet than the smaller guam
titles Of soup and animal food,

Punishment d Idle husbands

The head chief iof New Zealahd)
often interleres in minor matters ol
domestic nature; for instance, If a
lazy fellow has 4 wife or two and a
few cifldfeh, and through his. love
for fishing, dancing, and loitering
idly about, negIccts to bring IN the
necessary support for his family, a
complaint is made; the chief visits
the house in person, and if he sees
justgrounds for punishment, he or
ders cut the whole population Of the
village men, women, and children
arm themselves with a stiff birch
made Of small canes; they then ferm
a long double line, about six feet
apart, and wait with anxious glee the
approach of the delinquent. Atlast
he is placed atone end Of the lines,
amidst a shower Of yells, gibes, sc.
The word is given by the chief, and
away he darts at his utmost speed
through the ranks, every one enheay--
oring to lit him as he passes. Ae-
corlling to his deserts, he may get
off with running the line once, or
may have to do so twice OF three;
but he is Skilled in canning and fleet
ness, shatIcan run the lines even once
without having bis skin tickled for
him by tn E hearty application Of the
birch, welded by some strong woman!
