A GOOD PRACTICAL JOKE.-Billy Blivens
is addicted to the ardent, to the great grief of
his friends, all efforts at his reformation hay
ing hitherto failed. On New Years Day one
OF his friends meeting him in bar-room, by
way OF joke stepped up and congratulated
him on having become member of the Or
der Of Good Templars. Billy tried to deny the
"soft impeachment" but his denial was
drowned by the boisterous congratulations of
his friends The attention of all present was
drawn to the matter, and Billy was confound-
ed by the congratulations rained npon him
from all quarters. In the midst of it, all hands
were invited to drink, and Billy, as usual
stood glass in hand waiting for the bar-keeper
in his turn, but that worthy, to his intense
surprise and discontinue, positively declined
to allow Good Templar to have ANYTHING at
his bar, alleging that he had received orders
from the "Grand Worshipful Chief Templar',
to that effect. Billy denied with great yolu-
bility, that he had any connection with the
order, but the bar-keeper was infexible. Sew
eral drinks around" were had with the
same result, whan Billy left in search of new
pastures.
His friend observing his departure noted
the direction, and by short cut reached the
destination before him, and warned the crowd
OF the status of the 'new made brother"
Billy upon his entrance was wrmly gareeted
by all present, and again congratulations up
on his reformation were showered upon him.
His denials were fatty ignored, and his efforts
to obtain a 'quencher' were as futile as at
the first bar-room. And so the word was
passed from bar-room to saloon and from sa-
loon to bar-room, until at last Billy owned up
'dead beat,'' and went home at night for
the first time in twelvemonth, an entirely
sober man. The next day the joke was kept
up until Billy acknowledged the membership,
but claimed that he had been elected without
his knowledge. The best of the joke is, how
ever, that he has not drank anything since,
and to all intents and purposes is as good a
Good Iempiar as any OF them.-Monmouth

Here is chance for some interesting ex-
periments. Let two families divide the table
on the highest and lowest percentage: one
existing for three months ON cabbages, pick
led cucumbers, lat this season) fresh milk,
apples and boiled turnips, and the other on
bread and butter, beans, sugar and boiled
rice-and we shall have results that will be
valuable to this community, where there is so
much reasonable complaint about the cost of
living. The item of pork should be avoided
just look at it-five hours and quarter to
get twenty-four per cent, when the luxurious
bean will afford thirty-seven per cent. in two
hours and half. Besides DR.. Hall says that
most pork requires too lengthy drain (pork
and drains always go together) upon the
forces of the stomach to be a healthy article
of diet. 1t is surprising fact that the turnip
makes such an insignificant showing. 1t is
almost an entire waste of life to give any time
whatever to it. To surrender ones self for
two hours and thirty minutes to boiled tur-
nip and realize but four per cent, is worse
than taking ten shares of Boston, Hartford
and Erie at four and three-eighths, in the
hopes that something will turn up. Rice
seems to be the correct thing-thirty-eigh
per cent, in an hour is worth thinking about.
1t is sure to develop the system. Take Fred
Rice as an example. While many vegetables
and fruits are expensive eating, DR.. Hall says
some should certainly enter into the family
consumption, even if purchased for sanitary
reasons. Those who are bold enough to go
into this matter of diet will be entitled to eat
fruit and vegetables; for, as Ward said, the
brave always deserve the sanitary fare

What We Eat-Percentage Of Cruel.

DR.. Hall has reduced the science of living
down to so fine thing that by following his
directions one may exist for almost nothing,
pecuniarily speaking, and at the same time
gather more bodily sustenance than by eat
ing expensive food and owing butchers bills.
The cheapest articles of food at present
prices are bread, butter, molasses, beans and
flour. In the economy of nature three
pounds of flour, at six cents pound, will
afford as much nourishment as nine pounds
of beef at twenty-five cents pound; seven
cents worth of white beans will make man
grow fat when he would starve to death on
three pounds and half of beef, costing S7t
cents. The following table shows the per-
centage of nutriment in various common ar
ticles of food and the time required for di-
oastiOn.
