FAT PEOPLE MADE THIN.
A New Business in Eighth Avenue,


| From the New York Sun.
A sign which extends across the front of
POT Eighth avenue says, "Fat People
Made Lean" Attracted by the novelty of
the announcement, Sun reporter entered
the place and was confronted by cadaver-
GUS young man, who looked as though he
might be specimen of the work done by
the establishment. A fat man, evidently
a customer, was drinking muddy COM
pound. His grimmaces indicated that the
| stuff was nauseous.
| How do you make fat people lean?"
inquired the reporter of the thin young
man.
| We give them vegetable compound
which acts with such efficacy that in some
instances the weight of the person is re-
duced at the rate of one pound a day.
Some persons are so constituted that there
is very strong tendency to the acoumula-
| ton of fat. Where it is greatly in excess
of its normal condition, besides it's discom-
fort i'll the increase of weight, it produces
| shortness Of breath. Our object is to re-
| lieve these afflicted people,
The thin youngs man went on to relate
that hundreds Of people in this city had
| submitted to the treatment. One gentle
man, the proprietor of Broadway restaur-
| ant, weighed three hundred and thirty-five
pounds when he came to the establishment
| for relief. AS he waddled in, his sides
brushed against the sides of the doorway.
An ordinary chair would not hold him, and
| he had to use one extra large enc, or two
of common size. He belonged to the
Fat Mems Association, and few months
treatment compelled him to withdraw from
that society. The wife of Wall street
broker was SO heavy that she could not
bear her weight on her feet, nor rise from
her bed without assistance, and she had to
sit all day long IN large easy chair, made
expressly for her use. She rode to this
establishment in a low phaton, and two
strong men were required to assist her in
alighting, and to help her into the estab-
lishment. A few months of the treatment,
so the young man soberly said, made her
comfortably lean.
The young man also said that persons
being induced to thinness by this method
will not grow fat again. The reporter
asked whether living skeletons for exhibi-
tion might be made by continuance of
the treatment long enough. The young
man said he could not tell, as no test of
that kind had been made, but it was to be
presumed that the remedy would have an
effect as long as it was used.

LUXURY OF FATIGUE.-Itis is a great pleas
ure to get thoroughly tired. The only way
to fully enjoy rest and sleep is to get tired
first. MANY persons have an idea that
idleness is pleasure. There cannot be a
more erroneous notion. Idle persons enjoy
nothing. A sense of languor haunts them
through the day, and of restlessness
through the night Nor, on the other hand,
does mere physical exercise qualify one
for the highest enjoyment of repose. It is
the happy combination of mental and bod
ily labor, requiring recreation for both
body and mind, which alone qualities one
for the complete realization Of the luxury
of the change TO rest and sleep. And it is
only from such sleep that we awaken
greatly strengthened aud refreshed.

The Influence Of Newspapers.

A school teacher, who had been long
time engaged in his profession, and wit
messed the influence of newspaper upon
tue minds of family Of children writes as
follows:
have found it to be universal fact,
without exception, that scholars of both
sexes, and of all ages, who have access to
newspapers at home, when compared with
those who have not, are:
1. Better readers, excellent in pronun-
citation, and consequently read more under
standingly.
2. They are better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy:
8. They obtain practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time it re-
quires Of others, as the newspapers have
made them acquainted with the location Of
the important places of the nations, their
government and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians for
having become SO familiar with every vari-
ETY. of styles in the newspapers, from the
common place advertisement to the finish
ed and classical Grafton of the statesman.
they more readily comprehend the meaning
of the text, and constantly analyze it's con-
struction with accuracy.
5. They write better compositions, using
better language, containing more thoughts,
more clearly and more correctly expressed.
6. Those young men who have for years
been readers of newspapers are always
taking the lead in debating societies, ex-
hibiting more extensive knowledge upon
greater variety of subjects, and express
ing their views with greater fuency, clear
ness and correctness.

A MANS LIFE.--According to French
statistician, taking the mean of many ae-
counts, a man of fifty years of age has
slept 6,oo0 days, worked $500 days, walk
ed 5000 days, amused himself 1900 days,
was eating 1900 days, was sick 500 days,
etc. He has eaten 1900 pounds of bread.
$4,000 pounds of meat, 1900 pounds OF
vegetables, eggs and fish, and drank 1000
gallons Of liquid, viz: water, coffee, tea,
beer, wine, etc, altogether. This would
make respectable lake Of 800 square feet
surface and three feet deep, on which
small steamboats, could navigate. And all
this makes up the routine of m average
mans life.

Years ago Sir William Meadows, of the
British East India Service, was detected in
selling post traderships, or something Of
that kind, and tried to blow his brains out.
The ball grazed his forehead, and when his
friends rushed in he was bathing his head.
He told them he had an affair of honor with
himself, and, having stood the shot was
perfectly satisfied.

That indomitable hero, Sergeant Bates,
ever ready to 60 where glory waits him, no
matter what dangers daunt Or difficulties
deter, is advertised to perform yet another
deed of lofty daring. He will go to Phila-
delphia somewhere about the 4th Of July
and walk across the Centennial grounds
bearing the American flag. That man has
no idea Of danger or death, and doesn't
know what fear is. Taking his life in one
hand-and flag in the other, he walks right
into the jaws of death and knocks around
as cody as Caesar would have walked into
a saloon and called for glass of beer. But
in this last daredevil feat of his he may
run the thing into the ground. nd.-Courier

The drive wells, which are extensively
used in the South and West, are made as
follows: A piece Of one-quarter inch gas
pipe is perforated with several hundred
holes near the end, which is covered with
a fine brass wire screen, and this i'll turn is
protected by a covering of sheet zinc Or
iron, also perforated. The, extremity of the
pipe is sharpened, Or a steel point may be
fixed, 1t is then driven into the ground,
adding pieces On top as it Sinks in. As soon
as the proper depth is reached, a pump is
attached, and the result is an inexhaustible
well, often giving an abundant supply of
water in half an hour after the end of the
pipe first entered the SOIL

Sewing ng-machine agents are generally
equal to almost any emergency. One with
a shiny wagon and gilded harness drove
briskly into an Arkansas town, the other
Gay, and saw three men hanging up in the
public square with a lot Of treddles and pat
ent hemmers strewn around under their
feet, and a placard labelled "Sewen' Ma
sheen Men" over their heads ; but for all
that he joined the exultant throng, and
managed before night to make them believe
that his were the only reliable machines
manufactured in the country.

Perverted Phrases.-Walpole is credited
with the sweeping censure-all men have
their price. What he did say, referring to
certain venal statesmen Of the time, was,
" All those men have their price" Neither
did Jefferson say Of Office holders "Few
die and none resign" but he came pretty
near it, saying, in the manner of vacancies /:
"Those by death are few by resignation
none"

DR.. Henry NJ. Fields, of New York, who
writes at the latest adyices, from India,
is Of the opinion that the exuberant hospit-
ality shown to the Prince Of Wales by the
native Indian rulers is no indication either
of an increase of their loyalty or Of relax
alton of their prejudice against Christiani-
ty. He observes very pertinently that these
same rajahs who have built palaces where
in to receive the Prince, and have spread
before him sumptuous banquets, 'still do
not themselves sit down at the table; they
will not eat even with their royal guests,
and count his touch of food, and even his
shadow falling upon it, apollution.

The editor of the ADaIanche at Silver
City, Idaho, is the most disgusted man in
the Territory, The Empire mine in that
neighborhood recently ceased operations,
leaving the employees wages unpaid to
the amount of $4,000. The agent went
to San Francisco to try to get some money
from the company, and when he started
back somebody telegraphed to the editor
that he had the funds with him. The
editor bulletined the news in letters foot
high, hired band Of music, got up pro-
cession of interested miners, and marched
at it's head to meet the agent. The horses
were detached from the stage, miners
dragged the vehicle and agent up the
street, the band played ''See, the Con-
quering Hero Comes" and the building
where mass meeting was to be held was
Immediately crowded. Then speeches were
called for, but only one was made. The
agent made it, and the substance of it was
that he had no money. The meeting then
adjourned without motion, amid Kisses
and groans for the editor.

NJ. De Lesseps holds the following ideas
in regard to q mooted canal to unite the
two oceans across the Central American
free from all impediments, as twenty thous-
and vessels would have to pass through it
every year. The project does not admit Of
tunnels or dams. The canal should be deep
enough for the biggest ships and wide
enough for two to move abreast, with per-
fectly level water track and good ports at
each side of the continent And these con-
ditions are absolutely indispensable for any
canal across the American Isthmus-a canal
which the world would willingly see built

When lovely woman, touched by folly,
Is panied to find her hair turned gray,
What charm shall sooth her melancholy
What magic drive the i'll away?
Tile only art her age to Danish.
And hide her years from mortal eye,
To make the marks of time to vanish,
And do it surely, is to dye.
