Feeding Oh ones Solr,

When tho human body suffers from q
lack OF food 1t practically feeds upon it.
self and absorbs its own substance as food.
Every one knows that certain animals nor
mally exhibit this process of feeding upon
themselves under certain conditions. The
humps OF tho camel or those Of the Indian
cattle vlsibly decrease, and may disappear
altogether, If the animals are starved. A
superfuous store Of fat, in other words, IS
made use of under the exigcncy of hunger.
80 1t is with the bears and other animals
which hibernate or sleep through tho win
ter's cold. The bear, which in autumn
retires to winter quarters In a wcll-favored
condition, comes forth in spring lean and
meager. His fats have been absorbed in
his nutrition, and tho succeeding summer
| will lay the foundation of new stores of
staple food to be utilized during the next
winter. With man, we repeat, the pho. O.
nomcna OF starvation are essentially simil-
ar. In the starving man the fats of the
body arc the first substances to disappear.
The fats lose weight to the extent of %
per cent; next in order the blood suffers;
then the internal organs, such as livor and
spleen suffer; the muscles, bones, and ner-
vous system being tho last to lose weight.
In due time, also, the heat OF the body de-
creases to such an extent that ultimately
death In case of starvation Is really
case Of death from loss Of heat. When tho
temperature falls to about 80 deg. Faren-
heit death ensues This decrease arises
from the want Of bodily fuel or food; but
tho immediate cause of the fatal ending OF
such case Is decrease of temperature. 1t
Is likewise curious fact that the applica.
ton of external warmth is even more ef-
fectual In reviving animals dying of starva-
tion than supply Of food. In exhaustlng
diseases in man, in which the phenomena
arc striklngly like, and, indeed, thorough
ly analogous to those Of starvation, the
same facts are observed.

Old Clothes.

Considering that most civilized beings
have worn suit Of new clothes at least
once In life time, there must be vast
quantity OF old clothes in the world. There
ought to be about four million suits of

Pekin the thrifty Celestials wear out their

Learning by ROte.

THE mere committing to memory of
words and sentences, ''getting them by
heart and not BY head, proves the
more it is examined to be not even
clever parroting; for parrots often
ately, which is evidence of their
rational understanding OF what they
say. The experience has frequently
been tried in schools, and many of the
scholars found to know as little what
they say as the monograph has in re-
peating what has been talked into it.
At an English school recently the chill
dren were requested to write down a
part OF the catechism they had been in
the habit of repeating every day, and
they did so with the following result:
"My duty toads God is to bleed in

THURSDAY. JUNE 3, 1880,
Landlord And Tenant.

Only those unfortunate beings, who
are so circumstance, as to be both
landlord and tenant, that is, who own
tenant property, but at the same time
must needs rent property themselves
for business, or other purposes, have
any adequate idea, OF the ills and vex-
atons, that befa!l both Of these classes.
The landlord meets the full demand
of tenant for repairs and changes
aud the next year produces another
tenant that finds the property to be
sadly on Of repair and that certain
changes should be made, which in all
probability but un1oes work Of 4
years standing. One tenant keeps
hocs and forthwith demands that the
chicken house be transmitted into a
pisstye, and next year brings renter
that asks OF you to PARTITION oil the
hog trough so that he may accomlno-
date his hens. One desires to have
door cut through 10 certain room,
the next declares the house untenant,
able, except that certain room be r.l-
vate. One objects to pay for so large
II garden because he always buys his
vegetables, never having time to fool
with gardens, the next objects because
the garden beds are not ten acre lots,
and so on od Whnjtum tt o'(NaHsc07n.
On the other hand the tenant ask,
that leaky roof be repaired, that is
staining his carpets and dampins the
dried fruit the landlord promises 10
attend to it and neglects or (orgets it.
lie asks for few palngs to keep ont
the neishbors chickens with like re,
suit. Keys have been lost, lstohes
and locks broken, gates unhung pumps

cure effected at the rate Of one item

these evils himself and asks to be al,

landlord objects, orthe grounds, either
that il it was unnecessary or that the
charge is to much. Thus, in unceas,
ing rounds, do the same old vexatons
present themselves to both landlord
and tenant, until each class has come
