HEARTY BREAKFASTS.

In large majority of cases, says the Jour.
7ent Ut Health it will be found that the
best and hardest meal of the day should
be eaten in the morning. If the closing
repast Of the day has not been eaten too
late, or has not been excessive in quantity,
or indigestible in quality, the stomach
will be rested and active in the morning,
after the individual has enjoyed a cool
bath. The stomach will then respond
quickly with the necessary gastric juice
for the solution of food, and if fair
amount of exercise IS taken during the
day. large mass of food will be assimi.
lated and converted into blood and tissue.
With good, subtantial breakfast, no
great amount Of food will be required
during the remainder Of the day. One
further meal will be ample, and that
might better be taken at from two to
three q: clock in the afternoon than at
any period, if business engagements only
permitted it.
The breakfast may be made from any
kind Of wholesome food, and the fewer
kinds the better. The dinner should be

Oh, love of mine, we sit beneath this tree,
We smile, and all is exquisite to see;

And yet, meath all our happiness there lie
Dim doubts and fears, forever lurking nigh;

Then swift we Tit into the dark unknown
AS we have come we go-no voice comes back
From that deep silence where we wend alone.
Stay! stay oh, ever-feeting Time, thy flight
Make this one happy moment infinite:
Now while we touch the heavens, and stand

And love makes mystical all sound and sight.
No! the sad moon, so plaintive and SO fair,
Hath seen how many here, as now we are,
As happy4n their perfectness of love-
And seen, unmoved IS manly In despair.
She will arise, and through the darkling trees,
daze down, as now, through countless cen

And drops, exhausted back to earth again,
And means, distressed by vain imaginings.

And desth and blank humiliation each i.

Yet the countless myriads that have gone,
The countless myriads that are coming on,

PARTISAN ARTISTS MODELS.

Lucy H. Hooper writes from Paris :

probable fate of the model from whose
living beauty the artist has won the charm

MEASURING CORN IN THE EAR.

MEASURING CORN IN THE EAR.
A correspondent Of the Indiana Farm.
er says: Take tour-ninths Of the cubic
feet of core in the ear as bushels of she'll
ed corn. This rule gives thirty.eight
hundred and lightweight cubic inches to
the bushel in the ear. This rule is for
measuring good common corn. II the
corn is very good, make a proper addition

corn.
A rule that ssed to be peacticed in
measuring coca in the ear in small saan.

full in the ear Cor a Lushel Of sieelled
corn. Thus, then, it will take 1900
$40 cubic inches in the ear to make a
hushe' when the corn is in large deep,
body. The reason of this is, that
the corn in aasrge body fills up the spaces
and coasolidates much closer. G1av,ta-
ton also helps to condense the ears in a
large body. Hence think it wdat take
more than 8 ,SeS cubic inches in the ear
when lightly thrown into wagen-bed to
make bushel Of shelled oorn.
