the Emperor from Arabia to Rome,
who was nine feet four inches high,

The Emperor Maximus was nine

DR.. Baird, in Hours at Home, says !:
The ruling people of the world, who
have from time to time shaped the des-
tination of humanity, have always, so
far as can be ascertained, have been
liberal feeders. Among modern nations
the greatest eaters are the English, the
Germans, the French and the Alneri-
cans-the ruling people of our civil
ization. The diet OF the Spaniards
and Italians is notably less substantial
than that of the English and Germans,
just as their brains are less active and
original. The Americans arc, on the
average, the greatest eaters in the
world. Said Carlyle to Emerson.
"The best thing know of that country
is, that in it a man can have meat for
his labor

ADVICE TO THE GIRLs.-Do not estimate
the worth of a young man by his ability
to talk soft nonsense, nor by the length of
his moustache. Il
Do not imagine that an extra ribbon,
tied about the neck, can remedy the de-
feet of soiled collar or an untidy dress.
If your hands are Drowned by labor, do
not envy the lily fingers Of Miss Fuss and
Feathers, whose m.thcr works in the
kitchen while she lounges in the parlor.
If dandy, with cigar between his
fingers, asks you if smoking is offensive to
you, tell him emphatically, YES" The
habit should be right, even though the odor
may not be.
Do not waste your tears on the inlagin'
airy sorrows of Alonzo and Melissa, nor
the trials of the dime novel heroines.
Seek rather to alleviate the woes Of the
suffering ones on earth.
If your dress is inconveniently long,
and gentleman steps upon it, don't be
angry, but meekly beg his pardon, as you
ought to do.
Always cherish partially for the
smell of dishwater. 1t is more csnduc-
tive to health and far less expensive than
sBoquet of Eden"

it up, thus: "Fof this beautiful and use
