The curiosities Of Eating.

An old beau, formerly well known in
Washington City, was accustomed to eat
but one meal in twenty-four hours; if after
this he had to go to a party and take Sc
cond dinner, he ate nothing at all next day.
He died at the age Of seventy years.
A lady of culture, refinement, and un-
usual powers of observation and compari-
son, became widow. Reduced from afiiu-
ence to poverty, with large family Of small
children dependent on her manual labor for
daily food, she made variety of expert
ments 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
chat when they ate buckwheat cakes and
molasses they were quiet for longer time
than after eating any other kind Of food.
A distinguished Judge of the United
States District Court observed that, when
he took buckwheat cakes for breakfast, he
could sit on the bench the whole day with
out being uncomfortably hungry; if the
cakes were omitted, he felt obliged to take
lunch about noon. Buckwheat cakes arc
universal favOrite at the winter breakfast
table, and scientific investigation and analy-
sis has shown that they abound in the heat
forming principle, hence Nature takes away
our appetite for them in summer.
During the Irish famine, when many died
Of hunger, the poor were often found spend
ing their last shilling for tea, and tobacco
and spirits. 1t has also been often OBJ
served by those connected with charitable
institutions, that when money was paid to
the poor, they often laid out every cent in
tea or coffee, instead Of procuring the more
substantial food, such as meal, -four and
potatoes. On being reproved for this ap-
parent extravaganza and imprOvidence, the
reply in both cases was identical; their own
observation had shown them that a penny s
worth Of tea, or tobacco, or liquor, would
keep of the sense Of hunger longer than a
peuny's worth Of anything else Scientific
men express the idea by saying, I" Tea, like
alcohol, retards the metamorphosis of the
tissues" in other words, It gives fuel to
the fame Of life, aud thus prevents it from
consuming the fat and flesh of the body.
II person gets into the habit Of eating
lunch between breakfast and dinner, he
will very soon find himse f getting faint
about the regular luncheon time; but let
him be so pressed with important engag :
ments for several days in suece ,sion US 70
take nothing between meals, it will not be
long before he can dispense with his lunch
altogether. These things seem to show that,
to certain extent, eating is often mere
matter Of habit. Whole tribes Of Indian
hunters and trappcrs have been known to
cat but once in twenty-four hours, and that
at night.
