Mechi, the eminent English agrieulturist,
according to his own statement, can in
crease he weight materially by merely
taking an extra lump or two of sugar in his
tea. Auofb' gentleman became fat and
ruddy- checked by adding a pint of ale to
his midday repast. Bnt these are except
ional caees. AS general rule, il Z person
in good health, obtaining seveu or eight
hours e!eep per night, and not overworked,
docs not get fat on a mixed diet, he won't
get fat ~ all, and neither buckwheas cakes
and Barbados sugar, nor cod liver OIL nor
any other fat producer will fAtten him.
Sound e!eep is one of the beet fat proou-
cers that know of, and then it has the
advantage OF increasing the general health
and strength at the came time. Beware of
altering Your diet for thu mere purpose of
putting on moro flesh. Rssuits may follow
that you dream not of.
1t is easier to reduce flesh than to increaee
1t, as general role. But there may be
danger even here Many of those obese gen
tlemen who followed the Banting stem and
tried to live on lean meat, very little
bread, and glass or two of sherry per day,
kldneys, the resnls of highly heterogeneous
diet. They might have obtained that
loosenees for which they sighed, and re-
tanned their health, had they reduced the
total quantity of food consumed, and eaten
less bread, potatoes, and stArchy food, and
more turnips, cabbages, beets, cucumbers,
tomatoes, meions, and other watery articles
of diet, and taken more exercise and less
sleep. AS rule, fat people are large esters.
They will tell yOu they are not. Don't
believe them. Flesh aud fat are not formed
out OF nothing. A stout youth of my
acquaintance told me that he ate so mere
nothing" and only slept four hours per
diem. found that be really ate as much
at one meal as I could eat at three, took litsls
or no exercise, aud slept nine or ten hours
out of the twenty four. Laugh and grow
fat" is an old saying but have not found
fat people, as rule, mirthful, but, on the
contrary, rather grave. I mean the very
fat, not the merely plump. have, too,
met with fat people who were exceedingly
nervous, though it is generally supposed
that uorvous people must necessarily be
lean.

TAKING The LIONS SHARE.
CT thoiic Times.


The Catholics of New Haven, Connect
icar, recently joined with the Protestants
in successful effort TO reetore religious
exercises to the public schools of that city,
whence for d time the liberals had Danish
ed such exercises. And now the New
Haven Catholics are not happy becanse
the Protestants, ike the true lions tbat
they are, have appropriated all the spoils
of their mutual chase, by insisting on an
entirely Protestant programme of religious
exercises. The New Haven Catholics need
to give Esop reperusal.
He tells, in substance as follows, the
story of lion and three companions who,
having pulled down a great stag, divided
it into four shares. The lion, taking the
first share, said: 'This share L take for
my proper part :" and taking the second
share he, continued: "This take because
am the strongest; )" and striking a claw
in the third, he added: "This l take be-
cause my name is Lion and if any one
thinks it prudent to attempt to take that"
he said. nodding towards the remaining
share, "my advice to him is that he had
better looS out for himself"
In case the liberals should again succeed
in excluding religious services, the Catho
lies no doubt will think twice before they
assiet the Protestants to re-establish it on
the strength of deceptive promises.

people generally more knowledge on

to which o most iamen table ignorance now

cheese product having been about $50 0O0,-

greater increase. Oar resources in this
line are Almost limieless, and we only need

Pile of England and Scotland consume about
eight pounds of cheese per head annually,
and our people on;y about four pounds,
making our home consumption about
300 00o, 900 ponds, and the export $780,

sidered superior to the average Englisb
cheese by English people, though, of
course, some poor grades are sent over
with the good. which meet with fully as
strong condemnation as the better qualities
get praise. 1t is for our dairymen TO make
only such grades as will further the trade
in foreign markets. Now, the introd action

CHEESE IN THE ARMI.

The efforts of Ex-Governor Seymour to
introduce cheese into the army as reg1-
lar ration, are likely to prove successtni,
as a epecial commission has given the sub
iect favorable consideration. Samples
have been ordered with which to test the
question in it's various lights, and the
nrospects are all in favor of the cheese,
save the element of cost, which, when
viewed in its true light, will not be found
a difficult objection to overcome. II the
War Department can find grade of good
cheese that will keep long time under
the various changes of climate to which it
would be subjected, and can be had at
price which will not raise the cost of the
regular ration, il is probable that 1t will

liked the cheese, bnt wanted the beans as
