OVer-Eating.

Health and longevity are not the
only results Of moderation in diet.
Its influence is far from being limited
to the body; its effect on the mind is
still more important. Julius Caesar,
constitutiOnally addicted to excess
when resolved on some great exploit,
was accustomed to diminish his diet
to an extent truly marvellous, and to
this diminutiOn he ascribed the clear
ness and energy of mind which dis
tinguished him in the hour of battle.
When extraordinary mental vigOF
was desired by the first Napoleon, he
used the same means to attain it. To
his rarely equalIed moderate in
diet, DR.. Franklin ascribes his "cIeaT-
ness of ideas" and "quicknesS of per-
ceptiOn," ," and considered his progress
in study propOrtiOnate to the degree
of temperance he practiced. While
Sir Isaac Newton was composing his
"TFeatise on Optics,n he confined
himself to bread and little sack and
water. Scarcely less rigid was the
abstinence of LeibnitZ, when pTepar-
ing some parts of his "Universal Lam
guage." D. Aubigne relates of Lu-
ther, on the authority of LelancthOn,
that ga little bread and a single her
ring were often his only food for the
day. Indeed, he was cOnstitutiOnally
abstemious and even after he had
found out that heaven was not to be
purchased by abstinence, he often
cOntented himself with the poorest
food, and would continue for a con-
siderable time without eating or
drinking" DR.. Cheyne, a celebrated
physician, reduced himself from the
enormous weight of AS lbs. to 40 lbs,
by combining himself to a limited
quantity of vegetables, milk and
water as his only food and drink. The
result was restoration of health and
mental vigOr, and amid professional
and literary labOrs, uninterrupted
health and prOtracted life. An emin-
ent man once made the remark "that
nobody ever repented having eaten
too little"
Americans eat too much, too fast,
and too irregulary. 1t is the same
with drinking.

A Dog Story From the .Hub,''
IFrom the Boston Herald


Mr.. Edward Watts, a well known
citizen residing at No. % Havard
street. tells a very remarkable story
about couple of English bull ter
rieFs that he owns and prizes very
highly. He says, and Officer Coombs
Of the Fourth Station vOuches for the
truth of the story, that one day last
week he had occasion to 90 from his
house to Portland street, a good
mile, for the purpose of paying a
small bill. Arriving at Portland
street with the dogs, he met the man
he wished to see on the sidewalk,
and there paid the bill, as the time
dropping a $50 bill on the curb stone,
though he knew nothing about it
till his arrival home, some two
hours afterward, and after calling at
several places on bis way home.
finding this $50 bill gone, he took
his dogs and started back, calling at
the places he visited on his way
home. On reaching Sudbury street
he called his dog Jess, showed him
a $40 bill, looked about as if hunting
TOR it, and told the dog to "smen it
out" The dog then started off with
his nose to the ground in front of his
master, and pushing around into
Portland street, where they had been
before, and where the bill was paid,
he stopped, poked about the dirt
with his nose and in a few minutes
ran up to his master with the lost $50
bill in his mouth. That looks like a
very tough story, but if truthful
men arc to be believed then is this
story true.

you use silk or wOrsted?
DO you consider the electiOneering

Would you measure the canvass of

Is it measures, not men," that you
desire?
Would you stand up to vote a mo-
ton down?
Would you propose musk or cologne
when the scents of the meeting is
called for?
Ought a chip hat to be worn in log
rolling for an election?
Are you familiar with the music of
political organs?
What sort of a vehicle l. a political
hack?
How old must a woman be to be
entitled to the right to sufIer-age?
Do you believe in the doctrine, ITO

so, do you consider a man spoils in

Would you sit on a standing CON-
mittee?
Would you insist on having your

The English DinBer Hour.

In England, the court dinner hour
remained at IL from the reign of Ed
ward ", to that of Henry VII, but
the middle and lower classes dined
at 8 or 10. The fashionable hour in
Henry Wills reign came to be u,
when Sir Thomas Moore dined, and
it remained fixed there for many
years. 1t is still the workingman's
time, and is likely so to remain for
centuries, as it appears to be natures
own time. Fashion may make laws
as she will and call meals by various
names; but at midday most persons
feel the necessity of taking food.
In 100, the dinner-hour had shifted
to o'clock; at that time Addison
dined during the last thirty years of
his life, and Pope through the whole
of his. Very great people dined at
as early as 1740, and Pope complains
of Lady Suffolk's dining at that late
hour; but in 1861, find the duchess of
SOmerset's hour was 8. This hSw-
ever, only shows that slightly differ
ent dinner-hOurs were prevalent at
the same period; and we know that
when the duchess of Gordon asked
Pitt to dine with her at 7, his excuse
was that he was engaged to sup with
the bishop of Winchester at that
hour. In 1850, the poet COwper
speaks Of as the then fashionable
time; and about 19O4-'5 an alteration
took place at Oxford, by which those
colleges that dined at began tOSdine
at 4, and those which dined at 4 post
poned their time to 5. After the bat
tie of Waterloo, o'clock was prOmOt-
ed to the honor of being the dinner
hour. Now, we have got to 8 and 8.
The epigram tells us:
"The gentleman who dimes the latest
Is in our streets esteemed the create st;
But surely greater than them all
Is he who never dimes at ALL"
