A MoDEsr REouEsr.-The World

gives us the following picture of The pres
ent situation and the modest claim Of
Lncolnism on the people:
In the fourth year of the war, after
sacrificing half million of men, involv-
ing the country in enormous debt and tax
alton, the Washington government finds
itself in danger Of separation from the
chief commercial ceHteIs Of the country,
its rational capital threatened, its treas.
ury nearly bauhrupted, and its prospects
for n termination of the war, BY common
consent, more distant than when they
assumed the control Of public affairs
Under this stale Of lhipgs they ask for q
renewal of power, for an extention OF
their official term for another four years.
Will the country grant this modest re-
queSt?"

Ouriosities of Eating

4 AN old beau, formerly well known in Wash
lngton City, was accustomed to eat but one
tneal In tWenty-four. hours; if after this he
nad 10 go to party and take second dinner,
ne ate nothing at all next day. He died at
the age of seventy.
a lady OF culture, refinement, and unusual
power Of cultivation and comparison, became
widow. Reduced from affluence TO poverty,
with large family of small children dedend-
ent on her manual labor for daily food, she
made variety of experiments to ascertain
what articles could be purchased for the least
money, and would at the same time @go the
farthest,' by keeping her children longest
from crying for something to eat. She soon
discovered that when they ate buckwheat
cakes and molasses they were quiet for
longer time than after eating any other kind
oftood.
distinguished judge of the United States
District Court observed that when he took
buckWh cakes for breakfast, he could sit
on the bench the whole day without feeling
uncomfortably hungry; If the cakes were
omitted he felt obliged to take lunch about
noon. Buckwheat cakes are a universal fa-
vorite at the winter breakfast table, and sci
entifc investigation and analysis has shown
that they abound in the heat-iorming princi-
pie; hence nature takes away our appetite for
them in summer.
IurinS Lno 1rlSn famine, When many died
OF hunger, the poor were often found spend
ing their last shilling for tea, tobacco and spi-
rits. 1t has also been observed in New York,
by all connected with charitable institutions,
that when money was paid to the poor they
often laid out every cent in tea or coffee, in
stead Of procuring the more substantial food,
such as meal, -four and potatoes. On being
reproved tor this apparent extravaganza and
improvidence, the reply ,in both cases, was
identical their own observation had shown
them thata pehny's worth of tea or tobacco
or liquor would keep of the sense of hunger
longer than penny's worth of anything else.
Scientific men express the idea by saying, "tea,
like alcohol, retards the metamorphosis of the
tissues" in other words it gives fuel to the
fame of life, and thus prevents it from con-
suming the fat and flesh of the body.
Ii a person gets in the habit of taking a
lunch between breakfast and dinner. he wi
very soon find himself growing faint at the
regular hour of luncheon time; bnt let him be
SO pressed with important engagements for
several days in succession as to take nothing
between meals, and it will not be long before
he can dispense with a lunch altogether
These things show that, to certain extent,
eating often is mere matter of habit. Whole
tribes of Indian hunters and trappers have
been known to eat but once in twenty fur
hours and that at night. t.-Halgs iJoasssdI Of
