How Authors Live.

Hippocrates in this celebrated "Treat
Use on Diet, endeavored to prove that all
men were born with equal capacity, and
the difference in after life in their
mental power was owing to the food
which they ate.
A respectable physician asserts that
he can estimate the calibre of a man S
mind by the state of his stomach.
1t is stated that a gentleman treated
DR.. johnson to new honey and cream,
of which he ate SO much his entertainer
became alarmed. The,,celebrated gentle
man had always voracious attachment
to a leg of mutton. cat my aunt
Ford's," said he II ate so much of a
boiled leg of mutton that she used to
talk about it..
Joseph Addison was very timid In the
presence of those whom he deemed his
superiors, and strove to bring his
courage up by the use of wine, and
finally became very Incorporate, which
drew from DIR. Johnson these memo
rable remarks: "In the bottle discomfort
seeks for comfort, cowardice for cour-
age, and bashfulness for confidence"
Charles Lamb was excessively partial
praise of it.
Ariosto was so attracted to frugal
way of living that he said of himself
he SHOULD have lived "when acorns
were the food of mankind.
Shelley had an ineffable contempt for
all sensualities of the table, and like
Newton, used to inquire if "he had
dined."
To contract tendency to corpulency,
Lord Byron at one period dined four
days in a week on fish and vegetables.
Benjamin Franklin contemplated
practicing abstinence from animal food.
81 hesitated some time, he says,
between principle and inclination, till
at last recollecting that when a cod had
been opened some small fish were found
in it, l said to myself, if you eat one
another I see no reason why we may
not eat YOU. How convenient it is to
be a rational animal that knows how to
invent PLAUSIBLE pretext for whatever
it has an inclination to do.

MANY of the Pennsylvania iron fur
naces are using one-fourth coke in place
of anthracite coal, which the strikers
have made SO difficult to obtain. Ex-
periments, forced upon mill owners by
the present labor difficulties in Pennsyl-
vanla, prove that one and one fourth
tons OF coke are equal i'll smelling pow
er to one and three -forrths tons of coal.
The trial is SO recent that it is not
demonstrated whether or not the stand
ard of the iron would be lowered by the
Use of coke; it is also more difficult to
transport, beng much more bulky.

IF the refusal of the defense to place
Mrs. Tllton on the witness stand in the
Brooklyn scandal was a surprise, and
something which has not vet been sat
isfactorily accounted for, that of the
plaintiff TO call Lis friend Frank Car
penter, was not less SO. All through
the trial the Tiltonian press was pro-
claiming that he had most damaging
testimony to give, and that when lie
should take the stand there would be a
sensation. When the plaintiff rested
his case without calling Carpenter
it was said that they We're withholding
his testimony for rebuttal, when it
would certainly knock a tremendous
hole in the defendants case. But the
case closed without his making his ap-
pealance on the stand. Then again it
was confidently asserted that Gen. But
Ter was to be called to refute Gen. Ira
cy and sustain Moulton, but the great
criminal lawyer did not come to the
rescue of his friend Moulton. Verify
the great scandal trial has been remark
able rather from the lack than the pro-
duction of surprises.

Coughs.

The London Lancet says: "Anodynes
narcotics, cough mixtures and lozenges
are practically of no good, but toe
often increase the debility and hasten
the faial end The best method of cas-
ing a cough is to resist it with all the
force of will possible, until the accnmu-
lation of pElegm becomes greater: then
there is something to cough against,
and it comes up very much easier, and
with half the coughing. A great deal
of hacking and hemming and coughing
in invalids is nervous, purely nervous,
or from the force of habit, as is shown
by the frequency when thinking about

person is SO much engaged that there
is no time to think about 1t, and the

Who is Eugene Lawrence!

Of late Mr.. Lawrence has taken
prominent place as a writer upon
Harpers Weekly, and considerable
curiosity has been excited to know
more about him. He is a native of New
York city, has studied law, and was at
one time practicing member or the
Massachusetts, bar, but for some years
past has devoted himself almost exc Ia
sively to historical and literary persuits,
especially in the domain of ecclesiastic-
political research. Personally Mr..
Lawrence is one of the most aimable of
men; his ordinary conversation genial,
pleasant, and without trace of the I'M
compromising aggressiveness which
predominates in his style as a contro-
versial writer He is a man of decided
convictions on the question of common
school education and the freedom OF
politics from sectarian influences OF
every kind, whether Protestant or
Roman Catholic; and if asked to con-
slider what the other side had to say,
would be very apt to reply, as Charles
Sumner once answered, but in the most
amiable and kindly manner, ''Sir, on
questions like these there is no other
side"

Gov. IILDEN has vetoed the bill rela-
ting to the adoption of minor children,
The law On this subject provides that
the child and the person adopting shall
sustain to each other the legal relations
OF parent and child, and have all the
rights and be subject to all the duties
OF that relation, excepting the right of
inheritance. The vetoed bill proposed
TO strike out all after relation" so as
entirely to reverse the law. Gov. Til
den, Ill his message, called attention to
the fact that if it Were allowed that
adopted minors should inherit from
their adopting parents, then, conversely
the parents would Justly inherit from
the minors; and designing persons
would often snatch away the inherit
ance from the near relatives of a ricl
minor by the mere act of adoption.

A CINCINNATI commercial correspon-
dent writes from Utah that the opposi-
ton to polygamy is certainly increasing.
Old stagers, like Brigham, Pratt and
Cannon, are of course more stubborn
than before they felt their ancient
prestige slowly slipping from them.
But the ch'ldren-there growing up in
all this ''polygamistic" paradise-are
bitter as gall against it. Many of the
children of the legal wife, that is the
first wife, are so heretical that they will
not even recognize their brothers and
slsters-the children of Their father s
concubines.
