How to Become Healthy.

aNobody ever repented of eating too
little was the sage remark of an old
gentleman on the verge of ninety, next to
whom the writer had the pleasure OF sit
ting at dinner the other night. The host
was pressing him to take more, and urg-
iup him in the usual phrase, " Why, you
have eaten scarcely nothing" Now, IT is
10 be assumed that the old gentleman's
words indicated one of the by-ways to
FOOD health, along which he had travelled
through his long life, and TO which he
owed his present remarkably hearty con-
di,ion; SO it was suggested to him inter
negatively that he had always been small
feeder. YES" he answered, lever
since was two or three and twenty; up
to that time was weakly fellow enough,
and used to make the great mistake OF
irving to eat and drink as much as could,
in the hope of becoming strong. All my
friends and the doctors backed me in my
error; but fortunately | found it out in
time. and knocked otf'-as your modern
slang has it--more than half my usual
amount of stimulants. ] gave up the idea
Of making myself strong and merely
sroye to make myself well, and was con-
tented with eating just rs much as l could
digest and no more. OF course it took a
little time and experience to discover the
precise limits; l could not adopt the gold
en- rule of always leaving off with an APP
petite. because | never began with one,
but by persistently erring on the right
side got hold Of one of the great secrets
Of life-the secret of knowing when one
has enough, and after year or two ] be-
came so much better that / used to find
myself keenly ready to eat at meal-time,
and by degrees actually acquired an APP
petite Then, once found never de-
aroyed it but always determinately rose
with feeling that | should like TO eat
more Naturally the temptation for
while grew greater as my digestion grew
stronger; but / was firm; did not be-
have ungratefully to my stomach, and i'm.
nediately presume upon its increased
powers by overlooking it. l did not live
b eat, bnt only ate to live; and behold
me- | have no need TO be very particular
q to what | eat, even at my time OF life;
! have only to be careful not to eat too
much.' Here indeed is the great secret
Of great deal that is amiss with many OF
US. We are in the habit of eating too
much, more than our digestive powers
can tackle, and that which is not assimi-
lated more or less poisons. The system
becomes overcharged, and gives any latent
tendency to disease within us every faculty
io' developing itself. The question is,
not 70 much what to eat as what quantity
ioeat; and nothing but a sharp lookout
Kept BY ourselves can give US the answer.

Raising Hogs as q Business.

Say what we may in relation to the con-
ditions Of other kinds of business, the busi-
ness OF raising hogs for the market is very
pFohtable. 1t is question ii there is any

farms where hogs have been fed in large
numbers has kept up. The expenses on
farms where hogs have been the chief
stock have been light sAe
A great deal has been said and written
on the benefits of diversified agriculture.
For the most part the arguments in favor
Of q variety of interests on q farm are
good. To the extent of raising all the
grain, hay, vegetables, and fruits the
family and stock on the farm require,
most persons would advise diversified
farming, but when it comes TO the matter
of what shall be raised to sell, it is ques-
ton il ii is not better to limit the produc-
ton 10 one or two articles. By making
hogs the principal article for sale on the
farm much is saved in fitting up buildings
and in buying the machinery necessary
for conducting general farming.
1t is obvious thar many men without
sufficient capital to engage in general
farming on place of their own, or even
TO manage a rented farm, could do well
by engaging in the business of raising
pork. There is vast amount of land
throughout the West that may be rented
tor term of years at three or four per
cent per annum on the value of products
A tenant who can rent a quarter section
of this land, and can inclose twenty acres
of it by a substantial board fence, and the
remainder by wire fence, has place
nearly ready for the raising of hogs. The
first object should be to get the small
field in clover for a hog pasture. All the
remainder of the farm should be planted
to corn, except enough to furnish food tor
the family, two horses and from one to
three cows. The buildings required for
farm when the chief crop is corn are
small and inexpensive. Warm and dry
shelter for every 100 hogs can be provided
for very small sum Of money. All the
hay required for the horses and COWS
could be cut in single day with ma
chine that could be rented. The outlay
for buildings, machinery and utensils on
farm to be devoted to raising hogs is ex-
tremely small.
The first year the hogs will find wild
grass very Indifferent. pasturage, but after
that time they would nearly get their liv-
ing for four months ON clover. The corn
fodder would do much toward keeping
the COWS through the winter The corn
crop would demand most of the time OF
the farmer, but he would have sufficient
leisure to take. care of a garden, and to
| raise the small amount of grain required
for his family and horses. A farm can
be stocked with hogs for less money and in
less time than with other animals. Chs

tinue TO send them until all arresrages are

How A WOMAN MADE A FORTUNE
Six years ago, says the Laramie Senti-
mel, Mrs. Mary Aheart was living in
tent on the edge of the town. Her
whole worldly possessions consisted of
this tent, straw bed, two or three
boxes which served as chairs, and a ta-
BILE, with little seven or eight-year-Old
girl, and two cows and calves. She sold
the milk of these two cows, carrying it
around town with a tin pail, and with
the product, and from work which she
did for her neighbors, supported herself
and child. When she could get three or
five dollars ahead she would buy an
other calf or yearling. 1t is not our pur-
pose, adds the Sentinel, to trace her
progress up to the present time mi
nutsly; but the result is, she now, in
less than seven years, has several humid
red head of cattle, fine farm with nice
buildings and Improvements, a COM
Portable, even luxurious home-and in
stead Of carrying milk around by hand,
rides in her own carriage. Her daughter
is young lady educated and accom-
plished. To-day Mrs. Aheart's property
is valued at from $4,000 to $50, 900.
And she has made it all by honest in
dustry and good management. She has
had no outside help. She never had a
government contract nor fell heir to any
property.

Lucy Stone on Sam Adams and the Smith
Sisters,

To the Editor Of the (Na8S) Republi-
can In late number of the Repu6Li-
can your Boston correspondent says
that the phrase taxation without rep
resentation, applied to the women of
Massachusetts, is as unlike the phrase
that Sam Adams and his friends used so
much, as can we'll be conceived" Will
your correspondent explain the unlike
ness What is the difference in princi-
pie, whether it is the British govern
ment which taxes Sam Adams aud de-
nies him representation, or the Ameri-
can government, which taxes the Sis
ters Smith, and denies them representa-
ton? l see none. 1t is grave matter
to take the property of sane adult peo-
pie without their consent. Sam Adams
called it tyranny, a hundred years ago,
and there are many who think it is the
same thing, to-day, and that it is no less
tyranny because it is done to women.
The Woman Suffragists held a CEN
tennial tea party in Faneuil Hall in De-
cember, 1873, especially to honor the
memory of men who threw the tea into
Boston haTbor and refused to pay taxes,
just as the Sisters Smith and Abby Kelly
Foster now do. We claim that the
Woman Suffragists are the only class of
persons who can with any consistency
celebrate the centennials, because they
alone are striking for the application of
the principles for which the battles of
the Revolution were fought, and for
which those old heroes died. So long
as the government of these United
States holds women subject to laws
which it allows them no share in max
ing, and taxes their property, while it
denies them any voice either in the
amount Of the tax they have to pay, or
! in the use of the tax when it is paid, we
say that, whether it is hundred or a
hundred hundred years since independ-
ence from Great Britain was achieved,
this is not the government, nor are
these the men, to celebrate either the
time or the heroes who did it. When
they go farther and raise money for the
centennial by taxes collected in part
from the property of women, and even
urge women to gather subscriptions and
donations for it, / will not characterize
such acts, but the historian of the fu-
ture will do so. The artists who make
| true pictures of that time will have no
choice but to group George III. and the
tories who governed and taxed the col
onists without their consent with the
men who now govern and tax women
without their consent.
Respectfully, Lucy STONE.
