MEN AND EATING.
The Amount or Food Each Man Ought
60 Consume.

An American soldier has daily given
to him % ounces of bread, IL ounces
of pork or bacon or 20 ounces OF fresh
or salt beef, is ounces of potatoes three
times a week, l6 ounces of rice, l6
ounces of coffee, 2.04 ounces of sugar,
GA of gill of beans, 81 of gill OF
vinegar, and 10 Of agill of salt. As
TO the quantity OF this food, it is larger
and more abundant than would seem at
first sight to be necessary, but the lib
erslitv in food mas this great advantage,
that in times Of bard work the fatigue
of the individual is diminished and the
power of recuperation is sensibly in.
creased. The total quantity, then,
provided for soldier of the United
States Army is larger than is consumed
by the general working man. OF course,
the various conditions of life, climate
and locality have much to Go with the
quantity of food. Thus. an idle person
can get along very well with % ounces
of nitrogenous food and 20 ounces of
carbonaceous food flesh and cereal or
vegetable food, when If the same midi
vidual were walking, or in active out
door life, double this quantity might
be used Perhaps the Esquimaux rep
resent the heaviest feeders in the world,
for Parry tells OF a young native who
tlevourcd in tSenty-four hours nine and
half pounds OF sea.horse, half raw,
half cooked; one aud three quarters
pounds of bread; one and quarter of
a pint OF good, strong soup; one and
three-quarters pounds of ship-bread,
and nine piuts OF water, not counting
grog and spirits. Both Sir John Ross
and DR.. Hayes, from personal observa-
tion, declare that the daily ration of
the Esquimaux may range fron II to 20
pounds Of hesh food. On the other
hand, it is quite remarkable how small
an amount of food man may eat and
still retain his health, though as to
point OF mental vigor engendered by
scanty fare, that is another question.
Corneo, who wrote a treatise ON long
life, subs;sted for 5S years on - ounces
of vegetable matter and IA ounces of
wine per diem; while in another case, a
man existed for not quite 20 years on
10 ounces of Hour per diem, made into
some kind of pudding. All such sto.
ries of persons who have lived ON a
minimum OF food, when their means or
circumstances allowed them to procure
more, should be taken with certain
amount ofs doubt, There is nothing in
which deception is more likely

Or on the hand or on the sea

But whether the angel Death comes down
And marks my brow with his loving touch

Oh. George.

They we're on the ice yesterday after
noon, he in the glory of his now found
love, and she with brand-new pair Of
skates on her pretty feet. They were soft
on each other and slated hand in hand,
now forward, now backward, gliding
smoothly and gracefully, totally uncon-
scious of the smiles Of the spectators and
the chatting Of the bad small boys. Hc
was skating backward, and had hold
of her hand--a strong hold, with just
just the least more pressure than would
have been desirable under other circum-
stances. He was pulling her along and
talking the meanwhile:

glide through life as smoothly as VIC do

The was crash before that last ex-
clamation. George was skating back

others eyes. His skate caught in crack
in the ice and there was fall---Ceteste

vision of dimity, aud then two skaters
left the ice. George has lump on tho

Sixty-four figures were chalked upon
board, at which DR.. Dasc gave what
thought cursory glance, and, immedi-
ately turning his back upon them, no
stated the order in which they wero
placed, and lie repeated them backward.
He was then. without altering his posi-

asked, "What is the twenty-third fig
