FAT MEN.-It is n striking fact that
most persons want to weigh more
than they do, and measure their
health by their weight, as il man
were pig, valuable in proportion to
his heaviuess. The racer is not fat
q good plough horse has but moder-
ate amount of flesh. Heavy men are
not those which experienced cOntrac.
tors employ to build railroads and dig
bitches. Thin men, the world over,
are the men for endurance, are the
wiry and hardy; thin people live the
longest. The truth is, fat is disease,
and as u proof fat people are never
well day at time-are not suited
for hard work. Still, there is a medi-
um between as fat as butter-ball and
as thin and .juiceless as fence-rail.
For mere looks, moderate rotundity
is most desirable, to have enough
flesh to cover all angularities. To ac-
complish this in theshortest time, a
man should work but little, sleep a
great part Of the time, allowing moth
ing to worry him, keep always in a
joyous laughing mood, and live chief
Iy on albuminates, such as boiled
cracked wheat, and rye, or oats, and
corn, and barley, with sweet milk, and
butter-milk, and fat meats. Sugar is
the best fattener known.

Great Men Quarrellins About Bacon
and Greens. ....
From the New Orleans Times. |


Mr. Jefferson, having invited Patrick
Henry to dine at one Of his artistic
fcasts, the chef EUurrc of his celebrated
French cook, was mortified to find that
the Governor declined to partake Of
each and every one of tho elegant and
elaborate creations Of the accomplished
through the carte, the President begged
would have. 81 will thank you, sir,
for some bacon and green's" was the
easy reply. Mr.lJet1erson could hardly
mand, and begged that the Governor
would excuse him on account of his long
absence from Virginia, for forgetting
that there was such dish still in de-
mand among civilized people as "bacon
and green's" Mr.. Horny never forgot
tho reproof and when he returned to
Virginia, he denounced Mr.. Jefferson as
"a traitor to his natural victuals " On the
other hand, Mr.. Jefferson left on record
his opinion of Patrick Henry, "as man
Of low tastes and vulgar associations

WHAT is A CARAT?-The carat is an
imaginary weight that expresses the
hneness of gold, or the proportion of
pure gold in a mass of metal; thus, an
ounce of gold is divided into "A carats,
and gold of % carats fine is gold of
which 90 parts out of "a are pure, the
other two parts being silver, copper,
or other metal; the weight of grains,
used by jewelers. in weighing precious
stones, and pearls, is sometimes called
diamond weight-.the carat consisting
Of nominal grains, little lighter
than grains troy, or IS l-l6 carat
grains being equal to ~ grains troy.
The term or weight carat derives its
name from bean, the fruit of an
Abyssinian tree, called kaurd. This
bean, from the time Of its being gath
cred, varies very little in it's weight,
and seems to have been, from very
remote period, used as "a weight for
gold in Africa. In India also the
bean is used as weight for gems and
pearls. - .t,t

A WOLF STORY The visit Of David Clark
an old gentleman some seventy five years of
age from Waterloo, T.. @. to an acquain-
lance at North Troy, caused the narrative Of
thrilling adventure of Clark 5 with vol 8,
about thirty-iiye years ago, IN the early days
Of Waterloo. Tho wolves had been very
troublesome one fall 10 the farmers in their
vicinity in killing sheep The following
winter one VIM. Hunter, a noted hunter,
discovered a wolf path leading from some
dense woods near the village ID the carcass
Of horse, and set a trap, large steel one,
with a heavy clog attached, under log they
were obliged to step over Shortly alter
Woodward went into Montreal on business,
which detained him some little time, and the
trap was not visited. The snow was quite
deep and the villagers noticed one morning
peculiar track in the village like something
heavy having been dragged through the snow,
but could not imagine what it was caused
by. Clark lived on a farm Just out Of the
village, and that morning started for the
woods after stick of timber, when he came
across this track. His dog followed it into
the woods, but soon returned, exhibiting
great signs Of Generalization. Clark's Gu
ri0sity was excited and he eagerly followed
the trail, and shortly came up with a mon
ster, hall-starvcd wolf, dragging the hereto
fore mentioned trap, in which his leg had
been caught. Clark was only armed with
Ratchet, but boldly made the attack, the
wolf turning and swapping at him and nc
striking the wolf wherever he could hit HIM
with his hatchet Finally Clark caught hold
Of the chain to the trap and the wolf made
a desperate plunge at Clark's throat with
open mouth, but Clark hit him blow on
the nose which laid him PROSTATE, and few
