Curiosities Of Eating.

An old beau, formerly we'll known id,
Washington City, WAS accustomed to eat
but one meal in twenty. -four hours If, af-
ter this, he had to go to party and take
second dinner, he dte nothing it alf
next day. He died at the age Of seventy
years.
A lady Of culture, refinement, and unu.
sual observation and comparison, became
o widow. Reduced from sAlueuce to
poverty, with q large family Of small
children dependent OF: :her manual labor
for her daily food, she made a variety of
experiments TO ascertain what articles
could be purchased for the least ifhoney.,
and would, at the same time, go farthest,;
by keeping her children longest from cry-
ing for something to eat. She soon dis.
covered that when they eat buck kwhsat
cakes and molasses, they we're quiet for
longer time than after ca ting any other
kind of food.
A distinguished Judge Of the United
States District Court observed that. Nhenf
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. Buckwhcat cakes
are universal favorite at the winter table,
and scientific investigation and ANALYSIS
have shown that they abound in the heat
forming principle, hence nature takeS
away our appetite for them during the sum.

During the Irish famine, when many-
died Of hunger, the poor were often found
spending their last shilling for tea and to-
bacco and spirits. 1t has often been OBJ j
served in New York, by those connected
with charitable institutions. that when
money was paid to the poor, they often
laid out every cent for tea and coffee in.
stead Of procuring the substantial food,
such as meal, and -four, and potatoes. On q
being reproved for this apparent extravs. 4,
gance and improvidence, the reply, in
both cases, was identical their own OBJ.
servation had shown them that peuny's
worth of tea, or tobacco, or liquor would !
keep off the sense of hunger longer than
a penny's worth of anything else. Scien.
tifc men express the idea by saying, "tea,
like alcohol, retards the metamorphosis
Of the tissues y in other words, it gives (.
fuel to the fame Of life, and thus prevents
it from consuming the fat flesh of the
body.
Ifa person gets in the habit of taking
a lunch between breakfast and dinner, he
will very soon find himself faint about the
regular luncheon time but let him be no
pressed with important engagements for 9
several days in succession as to take moth
ing between meals, it will not be long be-.
fore he can dispense with his lunch alto
gcthcr These things seem to show that,
to certain extent, eating often is a mere
matter of habit. Whole tribes Of Indian
hunters and trappers have been known I'd
eat but once in twenty-four hours, and
that at night-Dr. Halls Traits.

D@r In the political canvass of 1866
Alexander H. Stephens was accompanied
by shaggy dog, named Rio, that became
as we'll know as himself In Columbia Co.;
he met General H. H. Wright in debate;
and worsted him. To postpone the defeat
Wright cfied out:
~ demand a list Of your appointments;
Sir! I'll get my documents, and meet yod
at every place, Sir Yes, sir, will dog
you all over this districtp'
Stephens pointed to the sleeping Rio By
his side, and said:
"Then I'll send Rio home. One dog at
a time is enough"
Wright sat down.

Too PooR.-Moore, of the Rural Neu
Yorker, was sitting in his Office one after
noon some years ago, when farmer friend
came in and said:
"Mr. Moore, I like your psper, but
times are so hard 1 cannot pay for it."
"1s that 30, friend Jonesl / am very
sorry to hear that you are 20 poor; aud If
you are so very bard run, will give you
my paper" -.....,.
"Uh. no! I cannot take II - gift"
"Well, then, let's see how We can fx it.

Yes, few, but they don't bring any

your paper, and when you 60 home you
may select from your lot, one hen, and call
her mine. Take good care of her, and
bring me the proceeds, whether 10 eggs or
chickens, and we will call it square"
"All right, brother Moore" and the
old fellow chuckled at what he thought
was a capital bargain. He kept the con.
tract strictly, and at the end Of the year
found that he had paid about four prices
for his paper He often tells the joke on
himself, and says he never has had
the face to say he was too poor to take q
paper since that day.

A COUNTRY MAID OF THE OLDEN
TIME.-The following quaint picture of
"a Faire and Happy Country Maide," is
now somewhat obsolete, but is pleasant to
read, nevertheless, as q picture Of the ideal
of departed lover of rural life:
The lining Of her apparel, which is her.
self, is far better than the outside tissue {;
for though she be not arrayed in the spoil
of the silk she is decked 10 inuo-
ceuce-a far better wearing. She doth
not, by lying long 10 bed, spoil both her
complexion and conditions. Nature has
taught her that immoderate sleep is rust
to the soul: she rises therefore with chan
ticleer, aud at night makes the land her
curfew. Her breath is her own, which
scents oil the year long Of June, like new
made hay.cock. She makes her hand
hard with labor, and her heart soft with
pity. In choosing her garments she counts
90 bsavery 10 the world ike deceucy. She
is never alone, but il still accompanied
with old songs, honest thoughts and pray.
ers, bat short ones. Lastly, her dreams
are 90 chasts that she dare tell them.
Thus lives she; and her care Is that shc
may die 10 the spring time, to have store
