Two Meals Dav.

II any man or woman, Of fOrty-flve
or over, not engaged in hard manual
labor, especially the studiOus, seden-
tary, indoor Jivers, would take but
two meals a day for. one month, the
second not being later than three in
the afternoon, and absolutely moth
ing afterwards, except It might be in
some cases an orange, 9lem0n, or ice
cream, sor cup Of warm drink, such
as tea, broma, or sugar. water, there
would be such change for the better
in the way of sound sleep, a feeling
on waking of having retired, an ap.
petite for breakfast; and buOyancy of
disposition during the day, that few
except the animal and glutton would
be willing to 60 back to the flesh pots
Of Egypt. Ben. Wade, as he is famil-
iariy called, one of the political lions
OF the West, has taken but two meals
day for the last twenty years; and
II all sedentaTy persons, those who are
indoors a great part of the time,
would, after the age Of forty-hve, OBJ
serve the same infexibe rule, there
can be no doubt, other things being
equal, that long years of happy ex-
emptiOn from the ordinary ills of life
would be the result. The reason is
that the stomach would have time for
rest, for recuperatiOn, and would thus
be able to perform its part more thor
oughly, making purer blood, giving
better sleep, and securing a good ap-
petite for breakfast. Let any man try
1t for ten days, taking the second meal
seven hours after the first, and abandon
the practice if he can.-[Halps Journal

The Reduction of the Public
..a Debt,


Some ill-natured criticisms have been
made on the monthly debt statements OF
the Treasury, and one Journal has even
asserted that the reduction of the public
debt shown by them to have taken place
each month since the present administra-
tion began, is merely apparent-the result
OF fictitious book keeping. Mr.. Boutwell,,
in letter to Senator Cragin, IF New
Hampshire, make the following conclusive
answer to the charge:
"The net amount of the public debt on
the lst of March, 1869, including interest
accrued and not paid, and excluding Pa
cihc Railroad bonds, was 50, ,525, 463, ,26O OIL
The principal of the bonds then issued to
the Pacific Railroad companies was S53,-
9S7 600, or an aggregate liability and in
debtedness of S2,579,40O, ,26O.OI.
"On the 1st of February, 1870, the net
amount on the debt, excluding bonds is
sued to the Pacific Railroad companies and
including interest accrued and not paid
was 1914, ,Sl3, ,2SS. 90. The bonds issued
to the Pacific Railroad Companies at the
latter date amounted to S64, ,457. .s2O, or an
aggregate liability and indeptedness of
81, 500, go, ,60s.92.
SIT thus appears that the liability of the
United States on account Of the Pacific
Railroad has been increased during the
eleven months, under acts of Congress pre-
viously passed, to the amount of $40, ,52O,-
32O.
During the same period Of eleven
months, the direct debt of the United States
has been diminished $50, ,649, ,97I. 90; and if
the increased liability of the United States
on account of the Pacific Railroads be
added, there still remains an actual di-
minution of the total public debt of the
United States, direct and contingent, dur
ing these. eleven months, of $40, l29, ,65I .O9.
"These statements are based upon the
books of the Treasury Department, and
in any way be impeached."

PHYSICAL CONDITION OF MARS
A pamphlet by Mr.. Proctor, a we'll
known astronomer, written to accom-
pany some recent stereograms Of Mars,
calls attention anew to the very great
similarity between this planet and our
own earth in many points of its extra
ordinary physical condition, and in
fers, as has been before suggested, its
entire.adaptatiOn to the requirements of
living creatures such as those that
now people the earth. The polar ice
can readily be distinguished, extend
ing its borders in the winter and con-
traeting in summers An,atmOsphere,
carrying clouds, and mists, with def
mite Qualities; is readily appreciable,
and the indications Of rain and snow
are not wanting. How soon it will be
possible for US to determine the nature
of the inhabitants of the plauet-since
we can scarcely refuse to believe in
their existence-is yet a matter of un-
certainty; but iii to be hoped that
the time is not very far distant when
we. may arrive at some definite con-
cIusion. in regard to them.-[ Editors

The following in relation to ths
claims OF the heirs Of Anneke Jans
against the property now occupied By
Trinity Church, N, Y, will, We doubt
not, be read with interest by many Of
our readers;
We have occasionally received let.
ters of inquiry regarding the suit of
the heirs Of Anncke JAMS against
Trinity Church, New York. Itisou
clear from a statement recently made
before Mayor Hall, of the above men-
toned city, that no case can be pros
ecuted by the heirs which has the
shadow Of chance Every point now
brought was virtually settled .Bv 1tbe
highest tribunal of the State of New
York in l847. The facts were as fol.
lows: Anneke Jams died in 1879. &.
part only of her devisees executed the
deed under which the Church now
holds the lands=owned bgAnnek6. In
1905, however, Queen Anne tgranted
the CHURCH by letters patent the-exolu+
sive benefit Of. the lands. In the suit
in 1877 the church plead its i'adverss
possession and uninterrupted occupa-
tiOnsof the lands r-one- hundred ana
forty-twO years, as a sufficient answer
to the previously -existiRg-defeets in
title This plea was-demuPred;- but
the demurrer was overruled and the
church sustained. AS the adverse
possession has continued twenty-thres
years since the trial above mentioned,
there is every reason to believe that it

Gambling.

"Give me cent, and you may pitch
one of these, rings; and, if it catche.

He stepped back to a stake, tossed his
ring, aud it caught on one of the nails
"Will you take six rings to pitch
again, or six cents" HSix cents'' was
the answer; and two three-eent pieces
were put into his hand. He stepped
of, well satisfied with what he had
done, and probably not having an idea
that he had done wrong. A gentle
man standing near had watched him,
and now, before he had time to5IOOk
about and rejoin his companions, laid
his hand on his shoulder.

man has gone through it, and you can

and give him his six cents back, and ask
him for your penny, and then stand

The Nature of Roosters.

BOOSTERS, according to profane history,

were formerly a man who cum suddenly
upon one 0v the heather gods, at time
when he wasn't prepared tew see company.
and wuz for that Ofense rcbiIt over into
the fust rooster, and wuz forever arter-
wards destined tew crow, az a kind ov
warning. This change from a man ac-
kOuuts for their fighting abilities, and for
their pOliteness tew hens. Thare il Meth
ing in man that wimmen admires more
than his reddyness and ability to smash
anuther feller, and 1t IL jist so with a hen.
When a rooster gifts licked, the hens all
march oph with the other rooster, if he
amt hafso big or hansum.
Its pluck that wins a hen or a woman.
BOOSTERS doc but very little hnuse-work.
They won't lay emmy eggs, nor try to bach
emmy, nor see to the yung ones. This sat
isfys me that thare is some truth in the
ackOunt ov the ROSTERS fust
origin.
You kant git rooster to pay attenshun
to yung one; they spend their time i'll
strutting, and occasionally find
a worm, which they make a remarkable
fuss over, kalling their wives from dis
tance, apparently teNg treat them, hut list
as the hens git thHre, this elegant and elab-
crate coxcomb bends over and gobbIes up

tors.

The Senate Judiciary Committee,
after a most protracted session on the
Georgia Senatorial question, came to
the conclusion that Whitley and Far
row were not legally elected; that the
Legislature which has just elected
them had no power to do so. The
committee next took up the creden-
tials of Hill and Miller, and propose to
to investigate and see if each was
elected by majority Of the qualified
members of the Legislature, that is to
say by members who were not dis
franchised by the third section of the
Fourteenth Amendment. Ifthey find
that they were so elected, or either of
them, they will report that they ought
to be admitted to seats in the Senate,
as duly entitled to represent Georgia.
The committee also decided to report
in favor of the admission of General
Ames as Senator from Mississippi.
