Something About Fat People.

No doubt it is unpleasant to be eNces-
sively obese, says the London Lancet, but
the morbid dread of fat which has i'll re-
cent years become fashionable has no
foundation in physiological fact Fat an
swers two purposes. 1t acts as Il non
conducting envelop for the body. anu
protects it from too rapid loss of heat,
and serves as store of fuel. In the
course of exhausting diseases, it not ul-
frequently happens that the life of pa
tent may be prolonged until the reserve
of fat is exhausted, and then he dies of
inanition. Fat supplies the material of
the heating process on which vitality
mainly depends. In great excess it is
inconvenient: but the external layingS
on of fat is no certain measure of the i'll
ternal development Of adipose tissue;
much less does a tendency to grow fat
imply, or even suggest, tendency to
what is known as fatty degeneration
1t is time to speak ont on this point, as
the most absurd notions seem to prevail.
Again, it is not true that special forms
of food determine fat. This is an old
and exploded notion. Some organisms
viii make fat, let them be fed on the
leanest and scantiest and least saceha-
rne descriptions of food; while others
will not be fattened," let them feed on
the most "fattening of diets. The mat
ter is one in regard to which it is SUI
premely desirable and polite to be natu-
raj, adapting the food taken to the re-
quirements of health rather than sub
stance. Simple food, sufficient exercise
and regular habits, with moderation in
the use of stimulants, compose thelaaxim
of a safe and healthy way of life.

The Preservation of Books.

/. Avoid dry heat as much as you
would damp atmosphere: the one de-
stroys as much as the other. The former
will affect the binding, the latter the pa
per. When reading, keep all books from
the influence of the fire. Never keep any
books near the ceiling, where the room is
illuminated with gas.
2. Never wet your fingers in turning
over the leaves, but turn them over from
the head. Catch each succeeding leaf up
by the forefinger, on the top corner, as
near the fore edge as possible.
3. Never put cards or folded docu-
ments into book, as it will break the
back. Keep such things in portfolio.
4. Never read during meals. Crumbs
and cheese are ruinous to books.
5. Never turn corner down to keep
a place, but put piece Of paper project
ing at the head as a mark.
6. Never pull or push book along
the table. Toavoid scratches, put book
down fiat and firmly, and take it up the
same way.
!. Never pull books out of the shelves
BY the headband or suffer them to stand
long on the fore edge. In doing the for
mer, the back is apt to be pulled or forced;
by the latter, the back gets out of shape.
8. Always open book in gentle
manner and with reycrcnt spirit-espc-
cially such as are newly bound-and never
coniine the leaves with the points Of the
thumbs: in doing SO it breaks the backs.
Lay it upon flat surface and open it
lightly, pressing upon the open leaves,
and taking few sheets at time. Go
through the book until the requisite free
dom is obtained.
Q. Always use a proper knife or folder
to cut up the leaves of uncut books, so
that the edges may be smooth and even.
10. Treat books gently, for they arc
friends that never change. We benefit
by their advice, and they exact no con
ceSSionS
