Food for Fat PeODle.

If any reader is growing too fat for
comfort, he may possibly find the fol-
lowing suggestions valuable:
There are three classes IF food, the
oils, sweets and starches, the special
office of which is to support the animal
heat and produce fat, having little or no
influence in promoting strength of mus
Gle or endurance.
If the fat, therefore, would use less fat
and more of lean meats, fish and fowl
less of fine -four and more of the whole
products of the grains-except the hulls
less of the sweets, particularly in
warm weather, and more of the fruit
acids in mild form, as in the apple,
sleep less, be less indolent and labor
more in the open air, the fat would dis
appear, to a certain extent at least,
with no loss of real health.
In food we have almost perfect con-
troll in this matter, far better than we
can have in the use of drugs. If we
have too much fat and too little muscle
we have simply to use less of the tat.

fowl, aad the darker portions of thu

Photographs on Leaves.

The beautiful Photographic novelties
photographs on natural leaves, are pro-
Guced in the following way: Fresh
leaves, preferably such as afford a
smooth surface when pressed, and have
an agreeable degree of transpar, ncy, rs
those of the spring, are first immersed
in alcohol until they are pale enough in
color to form pleasing background
for the photograph, and at the same
time become less liable to change of
tone. Bleaching the leaves will not
answer the same purpose. Alter drain
ing off the alcohol. they are spread out
in the air until leaves originally firm be-
come wilted, and are then pressed for
half an hour between bletting-paper.
The upper side of the leaf is then floated
on sailed solution of albumen,
or brushed rapidly with it by means
dried as rapidly as possible by hanging
the leaves on cord with the albumen-
lied side nearest stove, in order that
a the natural moisture of the leaves
may not be lost, or they will become too
brittle for the subsequent manippla-
tons. 1t may even be advisable to
moisten the unalbumenized side of the
leaf during the drying. Ascend press
ing is also generally necessary at this
stage, and they are then Immediately
sensitized, either by floating them on a
solution of nitrate of silver or by brush
ing them with it, and dried with the
same care as before, and may again be
pressed with advantage before exposing
them under the negative. -Bdzar.

1.-THE apparel oft proclaims the man"
said Polonius. He was judicious in not
substituting always for loft" For, not
unfrequently, it has been found that the
finest bird is not the one that wears the
finest feathers.
Years ago, the staid citizens of Wash
ington were astonished one morning at
the appearance of strange figure in
their streets. He was dressed in an old
pair Of corduroys, ripped at the ankle
for convenience in rolling up, drab
overcoat, much the worse for wear and
furnished with several capes, hung at
his heels. WORKOUT, united, unbuck-
led shoes, and shocking hat " COM
pleted his costume. Solemniy he stalked
through the streets, six feet in height,
leading little black, rough-haired filly,
her tail matted with burrs. A pair of
saddle-bags hung over the saddle, in
which were stuffed papers, and ginger
bread and cheese. Stopping ut an OBJ
scure tavern, he put up his mare and re-
lieved himself of his great-coat. Into
one of the pocket of short gray linsey
roundabout he stuffed some bread and
cheese, and into the other bundle OF
law papers. tied with a yarn string. In
quiring the way to the supreme court.
he walked forth, the wonder of the idle
boys. Arriving at the courthouse, he
sauntered within the bar, took seat and
began munching bread and cheese. The
lawyers and spectators smiled at the
awkward countryman on his first visit
to the capital.
Soon case was called which seemed
to interest the countryman. Itinvolved
the title to large tract of land lying in
the "Green River Country" of Ken
lucky. A Mr.. Taylor, of Virginia, a
leading lawyer, began his argument by
a statement of the facts. All at once the
countryman stopped munching, and tap
ping the council ON the back, corrected
one of his "facts."
The lawyer paused, frowned at the
busybody, and went on. The country
man resumed his munching, and in a
few minutes again corrected the coun-
sci.
81 beg the court to protect me from
the impertinence of that person." said
Taylor, showing much irritation.
Taylor finished his powerful argument,
and then TO the amazement ofspectators,
the bar, and the judges, the stranger
rose to reply. His manner was wholly
changed. He stood as If he had prac-
ticed in that court all his professional
life. His argument was so clear and
forcible, and his reply to the opposing
council so mastery, that the bar and
court looked as if they doubted their
eyes and ears. Mr.. Taylor seemed pal a
lyzea. The sweat dropped from his
face. The rustic he had sneered ut seemed
Il legal giant. Every one asked; WHO
is hep"
1t was Joe Davies, one of the best
lawyers and most eloquent orators OF
as eccentric as he was gifted.
Scarcely one present knew him person
ally, but all had heard OF his Brilliant
y Youths Companion.

THE EMERALDS.

One wintry afternoon in January
away up in the bleak attic of wretched
t'nemrnt-house, pale, sad Legged woman
lat sewing. The garment upon which
she was engaged was a very rich dress.
TIL" twilight closed in rapidly, with a
b hiding fall of snow, bitter, wailipg
hast that made the windows rattle in
the easements. Still the pale-faced
woman stitched on.
Mother" piped a sweet voice from
the cot beneath the window. twill you
get the fine dress done? Oh, mother,
Tn 50 hungry! If only had some tea
a At bit of sausagc."
She worked on steadily for a time,
pausing only to brush a tear from her
white check. then arose and shook out
the glimmering robe.
Its done ut last" she said. "Now
mothers little girl can have her supper !;
only be patient a little longer, Flora.
Ross, come, my boy
A manly little fellow came out from
the bedroom beyond.
THE fine dress is done, Ross, and you
must run home with il as fast rs you
can. Miss Oracle will be out of patience,
know. Tell her / couldn't finish it
one moment sooner, and ask her to give
you the money. We must have it to-
night. And you can stop at Mr.. Rays,
rs you come back, and buy some coal;
and we must have some bread and tea,
and mite of butter, and you must get
n sausage. Ross, for poor little Flora"
III get them all, mother" he said,
and be back in time. You shall have
big sausage, little sis" he added, turn
ing toward the cot.
The girl nodded her curly head and
her great wistful eyes sparkled with de-
light.
And you shall have half OF it, Ross"
she piped. in her splendid bird voice.
III ldn't you better put on your thick
Jacket, my boyP" continued his mother.
THE wind cuts like knife"
Pshaw, little mother, don't mind
the wind" and away he went down the
creaking stairs and out into the storm.
Miss Oracle Fontenay was in perfect
furore of Impotence and anger. Her
dear five hundred friends were assem-
hled in the halls below and her handsome
Dress had not come home. What did
That beggar woman mean by disappoint-
