Glass as an Article OF Diet.

There is residing in this city at pres
ent . Slovenian laborer, named GeritSa
Mattovich, who has exhibited an ability
in masticating and digesting glass and
crockery ware that appears almost in
credible On Monday evening last he
entered restaurant kept by one of his
countrymen on Commercial Street, and
for the amusement of some of the habi-
tues of the place he consumed nine Or
binary glass tumblers and then washed
the vitreous meal down with glass OF
claret. The surprised spectators of the
astonishing exhibition could hardly be-
lieve their senses, and one doubling
Thomas, with the intention OF convlnc-
ing himself that there was no trick in
the matter. purchased three other glass
es of larger size and laying them before
Mattovitch, invited him to eat. Matto-
witch promptly accepted the invitation
and in about the time required for the
consumption of like number of cream
cakes the three glasses disappeared
down his throat. AS an additional
proof of his capacity for such uncom-
mon food he wound up his performance
by quickly demolishing common-sized
dinner-plate. He accomplished the feat
with no more effort than one would put
forth in eating a dinner and without
wounding or decorating his mouth. The
following night he visited another coffee
saloon and chophouse on Stockton
Street, where he speedily ate up seven
glasses, and was only prevented from
Increasing his total by the proprietor,
who removed the remaining portion OF
his crockery beyond his reach. On
Wednesday evening he dropped in on
an acquaintance who keeps an eating
saloon on Kearny Street, near CONNER
cial, and by invitation of several per-
sons who had heard of his glass eating
propensity, he chewed up four glasses
entire and partially consumed three
others, the remains of which can be seen
by those who doubt his ability in this lire.
To show that his taste is not confined
to the ordinary counter glass he offered
to let the proprietor tie his hands behind
his back and then he would give his at
tention to table decanter. The owner,
convinced of his powers, declined to ac-
cede to the proposal, as Mattovich re-
fused to replace the decanter or remu
nerate the owner for its loss. Matto-
vich, who is about forty years of age,
stated that he had been living on this
viterous diet since childhood

How to Dress.

Undertaking should be Of wooden
material. These materials absorb the
perspiration far more readily than cot
ton or linen. They absorb less
heat and allow less heat to
pass through them from the body than
either cotton or linen. Both for hot
and cold climates they are to be pre-
ferred. In hot countries the wooden
garments must be of fine texture, such
as merino. The body should be COM
pletely covered with wooden under
vests, drawers and socks. The white
linen shirts which are very general are
certainly protection in limited de-
gree. but they must be looked upon
mainly as decorative clothing. Cloth
inc should allow of absolute freedom OF
movement to every part OF the body
1t must never be tight round the neck
or the armholes, nor must 1t construct
the chest. A man or woman should al
WAYS be able to draw the fullest breath
possible without feeling any restraint
imposed either across the chest or In
the waist. Coats should never be tight
across the chest. The best form OF coat
for man is the open jacket OF boy
hood and next to this the so-called
"evening coat" which permits great
freedom of movement. The neck-tie
should always be loose. The collar
should allow absolute freedom to the
neck. The throat should never be cod
died and over-protected. The more it
is wrapped up the more it requires to
be wrapped, and the greater is its La
bility to be affected by cold. Boots
must be easy and allow absolute free
dom to the foot. The measure Tor n
boot should be taken when the weight
of the body is resting on the foot. e.,
in the upright position, and not as is
too often the case, when the intending
wearer is sitting down. All boots should
be stout enough to resist moderate
amount of wet. 1t is better to wear q
stout boot than to trast to waterproof
overshoes, which keep the feet very
cold. The heel of boot should not be
too high, lest the weight of the body be
thus thrown on the toes. We feel 1t is
needless to point out the senseless alb
surdity of the fashionable ladies' boot.
with its high heel and general want of
room and all serviceable qualities.
Without properly constructed boot
there can be no proper exercise and
without exercise there cannot be health.
Our remarks have been dictated sole
ly from scientific considerations. As
for fashion," we can only say with
Borachio, that he is "a deformed
thief" The clothing of men has not
UNDERGONE any great changes of late
years, and the general tendency OF
fashion is toward increased simplici-
ty. This we take to be the result OF
culture and mental training. -PdttaaeI'

Among the messengers who arrived

Among the passengers who arrived
in Paris at the Orleans terminus, re-
Gently, was gray-bearded man of about
fifty, in Oriental garb, with eyes wide
open but void of expression, being blind
from cataract. He was led by girl OF
ten, of interesting appearance, also In
Eastern dress. The child guided her
father outside the station and then, ad-
dressing bystander, said, " Hopital!
hopital!'' This was evidently the only
word in French they knew. A railway
eeryant assisted them into cab and or
dered the driver to take them to the
Hotel Dieu, but there they could not be
received, as the affliction from which
the man was suffering was not one of
those treated there. The cabman then
took them to police-station, where the
police gave them food and allowed them
to rest on the touches. The inspector
on duty questioned them, but the only
reply he could obtain was the words,
Mahmoud, leila, Jerusalem. hopitai."
Later the Commissary tried the old man
in Spanish. The latter understood him,
and then related the circumstances that
had brought them to Paris. His name
was Mahmoud and that of his daughter
leila. He was a small shop-keeper at
Jerusalem, and while travelling in the
desert had contracted blindness, from
which he could obtain no relief in his
own country. He resolved to come to
Paris; and, leaving his business to his
wife and younger children, he started
with his daughter, carrying with them
some carpets and perfumery to sell on
the way. They sailed from Jaffa in a
trading ship and landed at Bordeaux.
Finally they had reached Paris with just
six francs and two carpets worth about
60 francs remaining. The Commissary
of Police obtained their admission to the
Rothschild Hospital, where Mahmoud
and leila will be kept while the opera
ton for cataract is being performed.

Children's Teeth.

Another of several children lately told
me some of her experience. A few
years ago she thought that her Oldest
bows teeth in the front of the lower
law were decaying badly. This was
disappointment to the mother, who had
fed her children carefully on nourish-
inc and wholesome food, as a general
rule, keeping both pickles and confec-
tionery from them. Studying the mat
ter over, she jumped to the conclusion
that what she had read concerning the
misunderstanding properties of the toma-
to must be true especially as her nus
band, who was very free in the use of
tomatoes in their season, had peculiar
trouble with his teeth. She had OBJ
served that the children's Especially
the boys') teeth grew white and clean
when there was plenty of ripe tomatoes
and she thought the acid of the vegeta-
BILE probably went too far and acted upon
the enamel of the teeth. But when the
boy then fourteen years old went to q
dentist to have his teeth filled, 10!
there was no filling to be done. ''1our
boy has a splendid set of teeth" the
dentist told the mother. "There IS
not a cavity in them. Unusually good
teeth for boy of his age" And the
dentist had no doubt that the teeth
were better than they would have been
if the owner of them had munched
candy and pickles, as children usually
do. .sThey must be cleaned and that
without delay" he said. So the tartar
which had gathered and crusted
] hn IA
teeth was removed by the dentist and
with it all appearances of decayed
teeth. Now the boy has nothing to do
but to keep his teeth in order to avoid
dentistry bills in future. The younger
/ children are warned to avoid the older
brothers trouble by the daily use of
/ tooth brushes. From their fathers case
they learn to avoid the opposite ex-
IRENE. His teeth are hopelessly dis
colored and few are habitually loose,
| but the useful tomato is no longer Sus-
pected as the cause. He had an oppor-
tunity to read some in a work on den
tistry and came to the conclusion that

gritty substances, when he was young
man, had worn away the hard enamel
of his teeth so that the strong coffee he
drank during his soldier life especially

teeth. / dislike to hear of securing the
teeth. When they have been neglected
this may be necessary to get them once

for removing tartar crust, but the yell

cleaned away, as the dentist does it, by
any one. Take finely powdered pumice
stone and little clean soft pine sticS
to rub with. Dip the pine stick into
water and then in powdered pumice

wash them with soap and water, using

A Fish That Swallows Bigger Ones.

The Smithsonian Institution has re-
ceived very curious specimen of the
fish kind, recently found on the fishing
banks of Gloucester, Mass, by Mr.. A
Howard Clarke. 1t rejoices in the name
of ChidSn1oduS niger, and its peculiar
and distinguishing feature is the fact
that its rapacity leads it to swallow
fishes which are twice as large and
weigh four times as much as itself. 1t
is enabled to do this from the fact that
its mouth is very deity cleft, its teeth
bent and that its stomach has an elias
ITCHY resembling India rubber. When
it commences to swallow its dinner its
Jaws move alternately and seem to
climb over the fish. which is gulped
down and doubled up in this curiuos
creatures inside. AS the process of
digestion and decomposition taxes place
and gases are originated. the distended
stomach becomes lighter than the other
part of the BODY and the latter conse-
quently turns under. In this condition
the fish is utterly unable to help itself
and may be easily caught. This speci-
men, secured by the Smithsonian, is
only the third known. The first was
found number of years ago floating in
the sea off the Island of Madeira, and
the second was discovered in the DOM
inican Sea. Careful drawings have
been made of this particular specimen,
which is ten inches in length. 1t has
in its stomach kind of Goldfish eigh-
teen inches long. 1t is only by con-
trasting the long and slender body OF
the fish in its normal state with its dis
tended form after gorging, that a
proper idea of the feat 1t so successfully

When to Sell Wheat.

The prevalent high prices for wheat
during the past decade account for the
remarkable extension of its culture in
the United States. The noteworthy
statistics of this important trade are in
telligently presented in paper recently
read by invitation before the Onondaga
Farmers Club, by Mr.. E. NJ. Gibson,
commercial reporter of the Syracuse
Journal, in which he refers to the fact
that each crop since 1876 has been larger
than its predecessor; the exports have
increased annually Chose of 1879 being
about four times as much as those of
1876; the seaboard receipts have in
creased in larger ratio; and the ''visi-
BILE supply" is now about twenty million
bushels, while in June, 1876, it was
scarcely three millions. Mr.. Gibson
gives the New York prices in June and
July for ten years ranging from 81 to 81
per bushel, showing the rate to be well
sustained at the present time SLIP to
S1.l5, against S1.C5 10 S1.15 last year,,
though much lower than the prices of
the preceding years (S1.15 to $3.50 in
1878 and $3.50 to S1.90 in lS70.
The statement of prices by months is
instructive, showing that the highest
rate prevails in May, when the crop
prospects of the year are as yet uncer-
tain. 1t indicates that condition of
incertitude is more favorable to specu-
lation than the most discouraging real
ity. June is next to May in elevation
of prices; then July, by which time the
pouring in of new grain makes the pri-
ces of August the lowest of the year.
The rate then slowly rises through Sep
TENDER, October and December. Then
the closing of navigation and the rails
ing of railroad freights depress prices
below the October level, but in Febru-
airy they rally to an equality with the
quotations of July. Farmers would do
well to note these facts and sell before
the setting in of winter, unless they can
afford to wait till spring and get the
benefit of highest prices. But there are
contingencies-war in Europe, "wheat
corners" made by home spectators and
minor causes of difference-that may
change the average course of the mar.
