How Much to Eat,

A paper by DR.. Wilson says for the
active, outdoor laborer and artisan, an
early breakfast, before work, a midday
dinner, with an interval of rest, and sup
per after the days work is over have
long been proved by experience to be
the most conducive to health. For the
business man, later breakfast, a mid
day luncheon and late dinner after the
davis work is over, it is the best ar
rangement. For literary men who write
more in the evening than during the
day, an early dinner and light supper
will be found to be the most advan'
tageous for steady work. Idlers, to en-
Joy life, if they possibly can, should
dine early if they intend to spend the
evening at the theatres and the like;
but if they accept dinner invitations
freely they should be very careful
not to eat much at the midday meal.
The breakfast hour should be determin-
ed in great measure, by the hour of ris-
ing, but in any case food should be par
taken of before the material business of
the day is commenced. Those who like
to take " constitutional before break.
fast would find their appetite whetted
aid their walk made all the more enjoy
able if they took little milk or coffee
with milk, with bread or biscuit before
starting. Work done before breakfast is
always irksome and fatiguing, and on that
account is very likely to be badly done.
The last meal should be sufficiently late
for the whole not to be absorbed before
retiring to rest. To person in health
three meals day ought to be quite
sufficient, and tho pssotioe Of continually

The Code in Colorado.

The code is new out in Colorado, and
awkward marksmen find it hard to kill
each other. St;ne and Colburn, Of Ce-
bolla, had wrangle over young lady.s
reputation and duel was arranged.
Place, the bridge; weapons, shot-guns;
distance, fifty feet. The principals were
stationed at each end Of the bridge and
loaded shot-guns were laid at their feet,
and their seconds explained to them that
at the word "three" they were to seize
their weapons, cock and fire them. At
the signal Colburn caught up his gun
and exploded cap. Slime had his piece
ready, but to shoot would have been foul
murder, and, like a man of honor re-
Trained from taking advantage of his an
tagonist's helpless condition. Colburn's g
gun was reprimed, but as he expressed
some doubt as to the effectiveness of the
arm, his antagonist offered to swap
weapons with him, at the same time
volunteering to settle for two hundred
and seventy-fve dollars. Colburn's
friends could not raise the money, and
so, taking his'enemy's gun, he fired and
hit the ground midway; and without
waiting for his antagonist to return the
fire he scampered off and took refuge
behind venerable drover named Smyth.
Slime advanced with his gun levelsd at
the barricade and Colburn, being forced
to fight in the open, seized ponderous
boulder and rushed TO the front.
Seconds, surgeons and bystanders sur
rounded the principals, and in the e1-
citement of the fray somebody's gun
went off in the air. At this critical
moment a deputy sheriff, with q small
posse, armed to the teeth, dashed upon
the scene with foaming steeds and ar
rested the sanguinary combatants.

About Coffee,

There is a legend about coffee "a
legend of which the pious Mussullnan
is the hero. The Mussulman used to
get sleepy during his devotions, and 30
he prayed to Mohammend, who came to
his aid. Mohammend sent him for ad-
vice to a goat-herd, who took a hint
from his goats. He observed that when
these animals ate the berries OF par
ticular tree they got frisky and excited,
bounded about all night, in fact. The
Mussulman took the hint, ate the coffee
berries, slept less, and no doubt prayed
better. That was the legend. That
coffee, however, was sold in the streets
of Cairo toward the end Of the sixteenth
century is not matter Of legend but OF
history. In fact, it was not only sold,
but it WAS forbidden to be sold. An
Arabian historian recounts that in the
year 1888 q cafe was attacked by the
authorities, and the customers who were
found on the spot hurried off to prison,
from which they were not liberated till
they had each received seventeen strokes
with a stick for the encouragement OF
others. And, in feet, this raid served
that purpose so e1cellently, that five
and twenty years afterward the town Of
Cairo could boast of more than two
thousand shops where coffee might be
bought. From Cairo to Constantin!yople
was in those days a pecessary transition,
and the new drink once established in
Europe soon made its way to the East.
It is recorded that the first cup OF coffee
known to have been prepared in France
was handed to Louis XIV. to drink. It
was a royal beverage in those days. A
pound of it cost about twenty.si1 dol
lars. But this extravaganza Of price
must have abated soon, for not long
afterward several shops wera opened for
it's sale, and in 1877 Thevenot, giving q
very select dinner party, offered each OF
his guests cup of coffee.

Klept0mania In High Life.

A kleptomaniac, widow OF good
family and in comfortable circumstances,
was recently sentenced to six months
imprisonment. She is believed TO have
stolen articles from number Of drapers'
shops, and was lately detected at the
Magasins du Louvre slipping two lace
handkerchiefs into her muff. The shop
man who saw her do this, and whose
attention. had been attracted by her rest
less air followed her into the street and
asked her whether she had not forgotten
something. She said she had bought
nothing, whereupon he drew out the
handkerchiefs. She offered to pay for
them, but he led her to the desk, where
she pulled square OF soap and cos
metic from her pocket. These she at
first asserted she had paid for, but after
ward confessed she had stolen. On be-
ing asked whether she had anything
else, she replied in the negative; bat a
shopman, on searching her, found six
articles, four of them in false pocket.
At her lodgings a muh, waterproof, and
other things from the Bon Marche were
discovered, amounting in value to 420
francs. The Magasins du Louvre, on
learning her connections, declined to
prosecute her, but the public prosecutor
insisted on proceeding with the case. On
her trial the prisoner wept and acknowl-
edged her guilt, adding that she had no
need to steal, and that she had lost her
senses when she did o.-London Times

Ammonia.

A very useful article. We quote the
following from competent authority :
Put teaspoonful OF ammonia in quart
Of warm soapsuds, dip a cloth in it and
20 over your soiled pants, and see how
rapidly the dirt will disappear no
scrubbing will be necessary. To pint
of hot soapsuds add teaspoonful of the
spirits, dip in your fork or spoon (or
whatever you wish to clean), rub with a
soft brush, and finish with chamois skin.
For washing windows and mirrors it has
no equal. It will remove grease spots
from every fabric without injuring the
garment. Put on the ammonia nearly
clear lay on blotting paper, and set a
hot iron on it for a moment. Also few
drops in water will cleanse and whiten
laces and muslin beautifully. A few
drops in bowl of water, if the skin be
oily, remove all uneasiness and disa-
greeable orders. Added to hot bath,
It. entirely absorbs all noxious smell,
and nothing is better to remove dsnruff
from the hair. For cleaning nail and
hair brushes it is equally good. For
heartburn and dyspepsia, the aromatic
spirits of ammonia is especially prepar-
ed ten drops taken in wine-glass OF
water, will give relief. For house plants,
five or six drops to every pint OF water,
once a week, will make them flourish.
1t is also good taclean plant jars. 30

Lighting q Match.

The match box, the wall and the car
pet are the three substances upon which
the average woman will consent to light
a match, and it should be noticed, as a
curious and as yet unexplained fact, that
no woman, in any circumstances, dreams
of lighting matches on the under side OF
marble mantel piece. Men, on the
other hand, regard the mantel piece as
the natural complement of the match,

Hash has been abused more than any

well able to stand it. The Duke of Well

they are not half appreciated.

but all lay still and did not expose them
selves. Toward noon oil Indian, who
had been sitting smoking on the
hill, got up and walked down toward the
fort. He continued to approach, despite
the bullets, until within sixty yards OF
the breastvorks, when he fell dead. The
savage was probably medicine man
and thought the whites could not hit
him, or lie may probably have been
tired of living and took that opportunity
to make an end of himself. Failing to
accomplish anything with their bows
and arrows the Indians fell back and
again counciled. They seemed to think
the only way was to watch the fort and
starve out the garrison. Creeping up
close to the works not head could be
raised or hand exposed but it brought
dozen bullets from the grass. One
Indian was observed creeping almost
within the works when a shot from
Maxwell laid him out. The men saw
another approach, lying on apony, and
fired, hitting the pony in the head and
leaving the redskin to scramble on as
best he could.
+. The water was giving out and the men
b oming thirsty. To meet this new
danger a passage was dug under the
breastworks and one of the party crawled
out, and, under cover, went down and
got water. Another man got some wood,
and in the morning the besieged sur
prised tho savages by building large
fire. Mr.. Maxwell had had tent put
up, and when the Indians saw the i'm
proved condition of the little garrison
their rage was very great. Dashing
down to the fort they fred over q hun.
dred shots at the fire, but Mrs. Maxwell
bravely stood her ground and quietly
went on cooking while the balls were fly
ing all around her. The Indians circled
about the besieged for over two hours,
but only fired occasional shots, which
showed they were getting short Of am
munition. About noon on the third day
they drew off, one calling out: "Good.
by, we are going now." When asked
who they were the Indians replied:
"Sioux and Nez Perces." Eight In
dams were seen to fall during the fight,
and it is likely double that number were
wounded.
On the morning OF the fourth day all
looked well, but the garrison did not
venture out, being satisfied the Indians
had only moved short distance from the
Notifications. During the day Colonel
Baker (second cavalry, with q strong
force, was seen approaching the fort,
guided by the man who had been seat
out for assistance. Mr.. Maxwell had q
very narrow escape, a ball cutting away
lock of his hair and another grazing
his jaw. Mr.. Maxwell and party lost
twenty.six head Of oxen, captured by
the Indians, and one pony killed, but all
are only too happy to have escaped with
their lives. This is one of the most
memorable sieges and defences ever
known on the plains, and stamps every
one engaged in it as genuine hero and
heroine

The Conundrum Fiend.

He came in hurriedly With the usual
"How're YEP" salutation, brushed
aside pile of exchanges, took seat sr
one corner of the editorial table, and
with an encouraging smile observed:
"Say, I've got an A conundrum you

And squirting stream Of tobacco

"Why-which-that is, what is the
difference between the widow Perkinson
and her daughter Sallie? Now thenl"
"About seventeen years, perhaps,
we replied at random, without suspend

"Oh, pshaw, mol" he growled: !:
"you couldn't guess it in two months ;
and it is easy enough, too, when you

"No-Great Caesar, no |" he howled
in tone of disgust. "Don't believe
you would stumble on the right answer

."One," we interrupted again, "is a
widow and the other is wee dear"
"There you go again !" the tone of
disgust considerably deepened. "You
can't guess it in seven yea"

and the other mourns because her hus-
band is late-coming," We essayed once
more.

"Aha Now we have a clew to the

other hasn't lost her will-by a large

faced plea caps, which nearly overturned
our inkstand, and made the windows
rattle. "Great Obelisk, man, what a
one-hoss conundrum guesser you are!
I'll tell"
"One is born to wed, and the other is

Before we could finish our answer
which if we remember rightly, fits TN

every minstrel troupe in the land during
the past twenty years-the fiend slid OH
