In this sultry weather don't be alrm-
cd il your appetite languishes little.
Don't be afraid to go without meat for
o month or SO, and, If you like, live
purely on Vegetable regimen. We will
warrant that you will lose no more
strength than is common to the time,
and that you will not suffer from pro-
tracted heat, as when dining on the
regulation roast. Many persons regard
q hearty desire for food rs something
unrefned, indelicate, and to be con-
stantly discouraged. This is q greater
and more harmful mistake than that Of
coaxing the appetite. 1t is just as ne
cessary for the man who works only
with his brain to eat beef and mutton,
rs for the man who labors merely with
his hands. The stomach and the brain
are twins the former being the elder,
and having prior right to care. Let
that be well provided for, and 1t will
sustain its brother. The people who
strive to check wholesome and natural
appetite are the people who regard din.
ner merely as q feed, not the centre Of
nn agreeable social custom, and as the
domestic event of the day, We are
sorry for them, rs they must regard
eating at all MS a prosaio duty, obliga'
tory on them because they have q bias
in favor OF living. We all know that we
must eat to live; but we by no means
live to eat simply because We enjoy
what we eat. We are not gourmauds
because we relish chops, nor are We in
yalids because we want strawberries.

LudicrOus and Humiliating.

THREE Is something exceedingly ludl-
crous as well as humiliating in the story
of DIR. Bertram, the late Consul TO Mon
tevideo, Buenos Ayres. The Doctor,
tired of dealing out pills and pot:ons in
the State of Missouri, and having
wild ambition for diplomatic fame,
brought all mis- personal and political in
fiuence to bear on the Administration for
a place in the ranks of the distinguished
CORPS that represent this great Yankee
nation beyond the seas. He painted TO
sport himself in plumed hat and gold lace,
and to dangle a saber at his side, accord
ing to the intellectual custom of foreign
courts and their imperial potentates. He
did not get the mission to England or
France. He could not arrange on salts
factory terms for first-class consulship at
Paris or London, or, in fact, to any Euro
pean city. But is not royalty the same
the world over, and are not the South
American republics founded upon and
nearly allied to monarchy? The good
Doctor decided that. rather than stay in
the wilds of Missouri, he would HE him
self to the South Pole he would change
the day into night and the night into day,
and accept the consulship of Montevideo.

The Condor.

THIS greatest of unclean birds has been
singularly unfortunate in the hands OF the
curious and scientific. Fifty years have
elapsed since the first specimen reached
Europe; yet to-day the exaggerated sto-
ries of Its size and strength are repeated
in many of our textbooks, and the very
latest pathological work leaves us in
doubt as to its relation to the other vul-
lures. No one credits the assertion of the
old geographer, Marco Polo, that the con-
dor can lift an elephant from the ground
high enough to kill it by the fall, nor the
story of a traveller, so late as 1890, who
declared that a condor of moderate size,
lust killed, was lying before him, single
auill-feather of which was twenty good
PAGES long! Yet the statement continues
to be published that the ordinary expanse
of full-grown specimen is from twelve

1T is almost impossible to estimate the
number of dyspepties there are in the United
States. The intense business energy OF the
American people scarcely allowing them
selves time to eat their meals, is one ereat
cause of this. More time ought to be spent
over the dinner table, for, unless the food is
thoroughly masticated, it cannot be properly
digested. Still, when one has already got
into trouble. the best thing is to find way
out. Buchu has been found exceedingly

remarked her, and saved her from that
ignoble fate by taking her as a charger;
She was then renamed Patrie, and carried
her master in his service. During the
confusion that reigned at the moment OF
the armistice she was stolen py her
groom, but was recovered by her owner.
The Commune then next arrived, aho

His wife came into Paris, and, by means OF
