A Washington Story.

Mr. CAV senior. of the National Hotel.
Washington, bears quite resemblance to
the late General Cass, upon which is told a
good story.
A stranger who supposed that he knew
Mr.. Gay we'll, put up at the National.
;Sinae this house has become crack hotel
at the Capitol, it is quite full all the time,
and the newcomer was necessarily Tor the
first night sent to the up-fOor to sleep.
Coming down stairs in the morning little
cross, he met General Cass there, who had
a fine suite of rooms in the hall. He step
ped up to him and said:
"Ill not stand it,! You have put me at
the top of the house. / must have room
somewhere else, lower down"
Gen. Cass interposing nervOusly Sir,
YOU are mistaken in the parsonage you
are addressing General Cass of Michigan"
Stranger, confusedly: Beg your par
don, General-thought it was my old friend
Gay Beg thousand pardons, SIR All a
.mistake-all a mistake, / assure you"
The General passed out of the building,
but soon returned; but as luck would have
it. the stranger met him full in the face
again, but in another position. This time
he was sure he had met Mr.. Gay, for the
Senator from Michigan he knew had just
gone out. So the stranger stepped boldly
up, slapped, the General familiarity on the
shoulder, exclaim1ng:
"By heaven, Gay, I've got rich joke
to relate met old sCass up stairs just
now; thought it was you, and began ours
ing him about my ROOM" Fl
General Cass, with emphasis, "Well,
Young man, you have met old Cass again.
Stranger sloped, and he has not been
heard of since.

Eating while Fatigued.

There are few habits more injurious to
health than the common one of filling the
stomach with food while the body is
fatigued. Men will come from the fields,
from their shops and counters, with their
bodies or brains, or both, almost exhausted,
sit down and hurriedly eat a hearty meal,
and then go back to their labor again. Ii
the brain, or any part or organ of the
body becomes eunduly fatigued, the whole
system requires rest for while, so that
the nervous influence and the circulation
of the bloodmay become equalized through
ont the body before another demand is
made upon the vital energies. If the
stomach is filed with food while the vital
forces are powerfully directed to the brain
or the muscles, digestion cannot take place
until an equilibrium has been established,
and the blood and nervous power
determined to the stomach, conse-
quently the food remains undigested, fer
ments and becomes sour and irritates
the stomach, causing arrangement and di-
sease of the digestive organs, and through
them of the whole system. If you have
any care for your health and comfort
never sit down to eat while either body or
brain is fatigued from oyer exertion.
