Hints About Food.

Highly concentrated food, having much
nour!shmcnt in small bulk, is not favor
able to digestion, because it cannot be
properly acted upon by the muscular
contractions OF the stomach, and is not
so minutely divided rs IL enable the gas
trio juice to act properly. This is the reu-
son why certain j,6k Of food is neodt'ul
to good digestion; and why those people
who live on whale oil and other highly
uourishing food in cold climates. mix
vegetables, and even saw-iust, with it to
make it more acceptable and digestible,
so in civilized lands fruits and vegetables
are mixed with more highly concentrated
nnurishmcnt. For this reason also, soups,
jellies AID arrowroot should have bread
or crackers mixed with them. This af-
fords another reason why coarse bread of
unbolted wheat SO often proves beneficial.
In England, under the administration of
William Pitt, for two years or more there
was such Il scarcity of wheat that, to
make it hold out longer, parliament
passed law that the army should have
all their bread made of unbolted flour
The result was that the health of the sol.
diers improved so much as to be subjects
OF surprise to themselves, the officers and
the physicians. These last came out pub
licly and declared that the soldiers were
never before so robust and healthy; and
that disease had nearly disappeared from
the army. The civic physicians joined
and pronounced it the healthiest bread,
and for time it was used almost exclu-
sively. We thus see why children should
not have cakes and candies allowed them
between meals. Besides being largely
carbonaceous, these are highly concen-
trated nourshments, and should be eaten
with more bulky and less nourishing sub
stances. The most indigestiblc of all
kinds of foods are fatty and oily sub
stances, if heated. 1t is on this account
that pie-crust and articles boiled or fried
in fat or butter are not so healthful as
other food. The following, then, may be
put down as the causes of II debilitated
constitution from the misuse of food: Eat
ing too much, eating too often, eating too
fast, eating food anG condiments that are
too stimulating, eating food that is too
warm or too cold, eating food that is
highly concentrated without proper adj
mixture of less nourishipg matter, and
eating hot food that is difficult o. diges-

How Il New Pope is Installed.

After the Conclave of Cardinals has
elected one of its own number as Pope,
the one thus chosen is at once appraised of
the result by the Cardinal Deacon, where
upon he, after declaring his purpose to
accept, in the first place ch"osea the
name which, as Pope, he intends to bear:
lie then exchanges his attire as CHrulnai
for the Papa robe, ascends the throne
AMI bestows the bencdiction upon the
Cardinals, who kiss his hand. The cerc-
mony ends by the Cardinal Cametiengos
placing upon his finger the ring OF the
fisherman, which he then hands to the
Master of Cerum onies, that his new name
may be engraved upon 1t. Meanwhile
the Cardinal Deacon, accompanied by
Master of Ceremonies, repairs to the
great balcony over the main entrance OF
st. Peters, which WAS walled up at the
beginning Of the Conclave, orders 1t to
be opened publicly announces the election
Papam habemus), as well as the name OF
the Pope, and throws a slip upon which
the name is written among the multi
'ude. At the same time the cannons IN
the Castle st. Angelo are fired, the sol
diers on parade in the piazza OF St. Pc
ter'S fire salute, and all the bells IN the
city ring.
Rome aud the Catholic world have
Pope again. During the first week, how
ever, until the time of his conservation
aud coronation, the new Pope performs
no public functions, and although he
already actually governs he does not yet
issue bulls under the leaden seal, but
only briefs sealed with the fisherman's
ring.
The ceremonial observed at the corona
ton is regulated with Byzantine circum-
stantiality. The solemnity eliminates
at the moment when the Pope, after har-
ing celebrated mass and received holy
communion, mounts the throne on the
great balcony over the main entrance of
ST. Peters Church, in view of the whole
people, and is crowned 10y the Cardinal
Deacon with the triple crown. The
latter addresses the Pope in these words,
in Latin:
"Rccivc the tiara crowned with three
crowns, and know that thou art the IA
ther of Princes and Kings, the ruler ofthe
universe, on earth the vicar of our Sa-
viour Jesus Christ, to whom be honor and
glory world without end. Amen

Horace Greeley as Borrower and
Lender.

Much has been said, of late, concern
ing Horace Greeley's folly in lending
such enormous sums to worthless appli-
cants, who only repaid him with ingrati-
tude. This was a remarkable weakness.
but it may, to a certain degree, be ex-
planned. Greeley was, during the first
seven years of his New York life, pow
erty stricken adventurer, who failed in
every effort. He had many hopes of
making the N6o lorLer success (and,
indeed, it was the best weekly ever issued
in this city; but it was swampcl by the
| hard times which followed the panic of
| 1881.
In 1910 lie found himself without a
dollar, and was glad to engage in the ser
vice of the Wing party rs editor of the
Log Cabtn. The salary was $50 a week
for six months, which was considered
very liberal pay.
When the campaign was over Greeley
determined to start the Tribune, but, un-
fortunately, he had no capital. He tried
every way possible to obtain moneycd
partner, but was unsuccessful. Neil
rath had few hundred dollars, and at
last Greeley was glad to accept him, es-
pecially as he was a ready business man.
When all other applications had failed,
the ambitious editor remembered noted
resident of Jersey City, who had large re-
sources, and he determined to try an
other effort. He therefore made a call on
this man (thc late Dudley 5. Gregory,
and, having mentioned his case, asked
for the loan of 81, 900. Alternate hopes
and fears moved his breast until he saw
Gregory fill up check for the amount,
and the editor departed with a light
heart. This loan enabled him to start
the Tribune, which was he great success
Of his life, and gratitude so wrought
upon him that he determined never to
refuse any similar application.
This rule not only bound him perma-
nently, but its power so increased that at
last he lost all ability to refuse. He paid
Gregory with his first earnings, and after
that he lent, unfortunately, to all who
cared to bleed him. Whenever loan
was solicited he always recalled the
scene when he, too, was borrower. lie
remembered how he then felt the impor-
lance of those little words, yes, or no. If
Gregory had uttered the latter, the I'ri
bune might never have been more than a
young editors dream. That fatal word,
ever afterward followed Gregory's exam
pie, though it cost him nearly one hun
bred times the amount of the original
loan.-N. y. Correspondent Cincinnati

WICKEDNEss AND SUPERSTITION. -
Catherine de Medicis, of France, was one
of the vilcst and most INSCRIPTIONS
women that ever sat upon throne. The
court of France WAS utterly corrupt un-
der her reign, and while she directed the
policy of her son, Charles lN She did
not shrink from poison or assassination
to remove enemies. Without faith in re.
liGion, and indifferent to morality, her
influence on France was as powerful for
evil as that of Jezebel, the Queen who
ruled Ahad and Israel.
But this woman, 50 bold, and reckless.
and unbclieving, was a helpless victim
to supcrstitous fears. She was credu-
lous as child, and believed in super
natural visions. When she became
Queen, an astroIogcr lived in her palace
and attended her in all her journeys. She
never engaged in any scheme without
first consulting the stars. \ comet,
shining in her dining room, was thought
to be such an evil omen that she was
frightened into fatal sickness. After
her death, all sorts of auiulcts and charms
were found about her person. Supersti-
tious thoughts made her timid and
wretched, aud did not help her morals
Religion would have improved her char
acter, and freed her from degrading fears.

a BEGGAR VINO PAID.-Probably peo-
pie give nothing away for which they so
little expect return rs charity to a
tramp" But even in this the givers
are occasionally surprised. The Lafay-
cite 0nd.) Courier says:
On one of the cudcs. days last winter,
1861, German man called at house
in the Fourth Ward and asked for some
thing to eat, saying that he hed just come
from kankakee, aud his feet were frozen.
The lady gave. him something to eat,
medicine for his feet, and pair of socks.
He went away, and nothing was seen of
him until last January, when he returned
and wanted to pay for the things he had
received last winter. He would not
leave until the lady had taken fifty cents,
with the promise that she would feed
the next poor fellow who came along.
He then went away satisfied.

A WoMAN's SIGHT RESTORED FOR Ten
MINUTES. - Mrs. Abbott. who resides
within few miles of Pitts Point, in
this county, says the Elizabeth ken
tucky) Neus, had a singular circum-
stance happen to her one day last week.
She has been totally blind for about
eight years, but for about ten minutes on
the day in question she recovered her
sight and was enabled during that brief
period to see everything about the house,
something she had not been able to do
for eight years before. The house
had recently been newly papered and
painted, and when total blindness came
over her again, she described accurately
the various colors used in the papering
and painting. Her son had married
since she lost her sight and she had
never seen her daughter-in-law, but in
the period she was restored to sight she
saw her, and afterward described her APP
pearance accurately. The momentary
accident occasioned by the miraculous
restoration to sight was as suddenly dis
sipated by its equally instantaneous loss,
and she is now as blind as ever. This
case is one of singular interest.
