'iNo body ever repented of eating
too little" was the sage remark of
an old gentleman just on the verge
of ninety, next 10 whom the writer
had the pleasure cf sitting at dinner
the other night. The host was urg-
ing him to take more, and urging
him in the usual phrase, "why you
have eaten scarcely anything !" Now
it is to be assumed that the old gen.
tleman's words indicated one of the
byways to good health along which
he had Travelled through his long
life, and TO which he owed his re-
markably hearty condition; so it
was suggested him interrogatively
that he had always been a small
feeder.
ayes" he answered ''ever since |
was two or three and twenty;
up. to that time l was weakly fell
low enough, and used to make the
great mistake of trying to eat and
drink all l could, in hope of beeom-
ing strong. All my friends and the
doctors backed me mp in my error;
but fortunately l found it out IN
time, and knocked off-as your mod
ern slang has it more than half
my usual amount of food and
stimulents. 1 gave up the idea of
making myself strong, and merely
strove to make my self well, and so
was eontented with eating just as
much as | could digest, and no
more.
OF course it took a little expert
ence to discover the precise limits; /

by persistently erring on the right
side | got hold of one of the great
secrets of life-the secret of know

after year or so l became SO much
better that / used to find myself
keenly ready to eat at meal-time,
and by degrees actually acquired an
appetite. Then, once found, l new

nately rose with a feeling that /

as to what eat, even at my time
of life; have only to be careful not
to ca; too much"
Here indeed is the secret of a
great deal that is amiss with US. We
are in the habit of eating too much
More than our digestive organs
can tackle, and that which assimiis-
ted more or less poisons. The sys-
tenn becoms overcharged, and gives
any latent tendency to disease with.
in us ever facility for developing
itself. The question is, not so much
what to eat as what quantity to eat
and nothing but sharp watch kept
by ourselves upon ourselves can
give us the answer.

RELIGIOUS ExERGIsEs.-Sh was a
lady named Magruder, and some
what strict in reference to family
morals. Indeed, while Mr.. Magru-
der was a good man, and endeavored
to discharge his duties as parent
with propriety, yet his views
as to what really was proper often
ran counter to the views entertained
on the same subject by his wife, and
she had spunk. These differences
on a certain occasion are thus de-
scribed by common friend:
"I called at Magrudel's the other
morning on my way down town, and
as knew them we'll, l entered the
side door without knocking. l was
shocked to find Mr.. Magruder pros
trate on the floor, while Mrs. Magru-
der sat on his chest and rumpled
among his hair as she bumped his
head on the boards and scolded him
vigorously. They rose when l came
in, and Magruder, as he wiped the
blood from his nose, tried to pretend
it was only joke. But Mrs. Ma
gruder interrupted him:
"'Joke! joke! l should think not.
l was giving him a dressing down.
He wanted, to have family prayers
before breakfast, and l was deter
mined to have them afterward; as
he threw the Bible at me and hit Ma
ry Jane with the hymn book, Isous-
ed down on him. If can't rule this
house I'll know why. Pick up them
Scriptures, and have prayers! You
hear me Magruder? It's more
trouble regulatin' the piety of this
family than runnin' saw mill. Mary
Jane, give your pa that hymn book.
I left before the exercises began"

Years ago, when the middle-aged
men of to-day were boys, Horace
Greeley wrote:
sit is a great source of eonsola-
ton to US that when the public shall
be tired of us as an editor, We can
make a satisfactory living at type
setting or farming, so that while our
strength lasts, ten thousand block
heads, taking offense at some article
they do not understand, could not
drive us into the poor-houSe."
And so many a man become truly
independent.

Advice to the striking printers

Senator Matt. Carpenter says that
this government must be run more
economically, and so he has given
up wearing suspenders.
"You are a brilliant and versatile
boquet of loveliness," he said, with
a voice that was low and soft, and in
return she warbled, "Dry up,

hair is thiekened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth Of hair is produced Instead
Of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keepit clean and vigorous.
Its occasional nsewilI prevent the hair

consequently prevent badness. The

deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-

The Second Annual Report Of the In
spector of Coal Mines of the State, Mr.
Andrew. Roy has been made to the Gov
ernor, From it we learn the following:
The number of fatal accidents
which occurred during the year, in
and around the coal mines of the
State, amounts to twenty-four; twen-
ty-one of the unfortunate persons
were killed inside and three outside.
Eleven of these fatal accidents were
caused by falls of roof and coal; four
were caused by the caving in of a
shaft in course of sinking; three by
premature explosions; two by being
run over by cars, two by falling
down shafts, and the other three
from other causes. The aggregate
of people that are employed in and
around the mines is lS, ,667, of whom
10000 work in the mines, and 1873
work on top. The amount of coal
mined was 4,s6s,252 tons. Part of
the yield was estimated, no returns
being sent in from the mines, but
the output of coal is at least ap-
proximately correct. One fatal ac-
cident, according to the above fig-
ures occurred for every 2O2, 1867 tons
of coal mined, and for every SCI per-
sons employed.

PREPARATIONS FOR dinner
There are the decent proprieties,
moreover, which belong to the we'll
ordered dinner, which not only
helghten its pleasures, but render it
more healthful. There is the prelim-
mary refreshment of the toilet, not
only securing cleanliness, but COM
peliing delay before sitting down to
the table, and thus preventing that
dangerous practice of eating and
drinking when fevered with heat and
agitated with the furry of excite
ment and exercise. There is no
part of the toilet before dinner more
important than cleansing the teeth
and thoroughly rinsing the mouth
operations which are hardly practic-
able iu the hasty "down town feed, "
but which no nice person would fail
to make a preliminary of his do
mestic meal. lt
The cigar if permitted at any time,
should never be smoked within the
two hours preceding any solid
meal. If it is, it will only deaden
the appetite, and pevert the taste,
and weaken digestion; and yet it is
no uncommon pratlce to take ei-
gar st the very moment of starting
for dinner. When this meal is dis
patched In the restaurant, the
last puff has hardly passed away
and the fetid remnant is still cling
ing to the mouth, while the first
morsels of food are being swallowed.
Nicotine has never been commended,
so far as is known, either as an appe-
tizer or a eondiment, but is univers-
ally believed to be a nauseous poi
son. Should the dinner be eaten at
