A Lively Patient.

"The sick man OF Europe" has, Tor
years back, been phrase applied with
touch of POPULARITY and dash of con-
tempt to the Turk; and in this role the
tulbaned infidel is just now showing him.
self marvelously active, dangerous, and
resolute patient. So slow and lethargic
were his movements at the outbreak of
the present struggle, and so unchecked
the liberty of advance he allowed to his
colossal foe, that all the diplomatic and
other wiseacres exclaimed: 81 told you
so; the old barbarian will, at most, show
a final spasm of frantic violence just be-
fore crossing the Styx or the Bosphorus.
But with change Of doctors-or rather
of gcnerals-this moribund specimen of
anachronism has grown wonderfully live
ly, and besides warding off successfully
nearly all the lunges of his gigantic an
tagonist, has managed to plant some
pretty singing blows on his unwieldy
body. Of course, if the struggle is al
lowed to continue, size, weight, and
northern persistence must triumph in the
long run; but the Turk has already re-
lievcd Europe from an incubus of dread
owing to its extravagant estimate of Mus
covite power, greatly raised the opinion
of the world with regard to his own man
hood, and even in his decadence proved
himself the lineal descendant OF that
belligcrent race before whose laundering
march all Europe, couple of centuries
ago, trembled.-Rural Neo Yorker.
BENEFIT OF A NAP.-To the busy wife
and mother, who has a multitude of duties
to perform every day of her life, short
nap in the middle of the day is invalu-
able. Drop all care, steal away, just for
little while, and give the weary muscles
and brain, and perhaps the unstrung
nerves, rest. Rest! the very thought OF
it is comfortable! How it does Tighten
cares and facilitate the duties of the after
noon! How much more easily we can
late as the day declines! The little ones
are returning from school to a mothers
attention. A dozen things must be at
tended to before nightfall. How fresh
we feel, and how willing to complete the
routine of the days duties! Do
not say you cannot spare the
time, for you are gaining time
by it, You will surely last longer. You
will be spared longer to the loved ones
around you, if you only spare yourself.
They will need your care for many years
yet, and to this end you must be econom-
ical of your health and strength. Lay
in store sufficient vim by daily sleep to
balance daily waste, and so keep up the
average. A nice little nap is so refresh
ing 1t recuperates the exhausted ener-
gies, and the last half of the days duties
are as pleasant rs the first.

WHAT IS BEST FOR FOOD :
Chicago Inter- Ocean.

ClICdSO 1llcT-OccIn.
Fish, as food, is easily digested, and
wholesome, but q good mutton chop or a
beefsteak will strengthen the intellect of a
hungry man as certainly and effectively.
Man is omnivorous, and should have variety,
and therein consists the healthy brain food.
Not quail for thirty days, or fish for seven,
but often a change. 1t has been fully estab.
lished that beef and mutton are best adapted
to the wants OF man as to body and intellect.
The flesh OF the hog is admissible, bit it is
an unclean beast, and persons who habitu-
ally use pork as an article of diet lay the
foundation for disease. in low forms of fever,
s~crofula, or the fatal trichina. A Jew sci
dom has any 0 fthese forms ofdisease. A child
fed from infancy or pork will grow up
gross in body, and the blood will be ready
for the seed of many diseases to germinate
at the age of puberty. Mutton and wild
meat, such as v%enison, beef, and fish, are
the articles of diet either to feed the body
or the intellect. The question is Of some
importance for US and our children. If it is
true, as Professor Agassiz has said, that fish
is particularly q brain food, we ought to
know it, or the contrary. We are salts.
fled it is not true, only in the sense of a
change OF diet, in which all psychologists
agree. Man can eat and drink a great many
things, and still live; but it is wisdom 10
seek and find the articles of diet which
VIII best promote his bodily health and
comfort. at the same time strengthen
ana ENABLE lis intellect and develop his
highes, manhood.
