Summer Diet.

OUR bodily comfort-I had almost
said our very existence-depends upon
the adaptation of our wearing apparel
to the changes of temperature which
accompany the various seasons of the
year. Thus we doff our cloaks, over
coats, and heavy flannels as summer
comes on, recognizing the fact that the
body manufactures enough heat within
itself to maintain its normal tempera-
ture. But most of us are too hot during
the summers in spite of all the change
in clothing; and we suggest that our
comfort might be increased by a little
attention to our summer diet.
Some one has divided mankind into
two classes: those who live to eat, and
those who eat to live. The first class
are law unto themselves, or at least
frame their own rules of diet, which be-
come mere matter of taste; and we
leave them to their own destruction
while we address ourselves to those who
eat to live. ,ls 10 qs4 satea ~
For all practical purposes our articles
of food may be divided into the tissue
producing and the fat producing classes.
The reproducing are those which tend
to increase the heat of the body; and
most of the disappointing articles, or
those which form muscle, bone, nerve.
etc., become fat-producing when taken
to excess. In fact the two classes so
run into each other and blend together
that it is hard to say, in many cases,
where the one ends and the other be-
gins. Thus milk, which is the most
perfect disappointing food we know
OF, containing as it does the elements of
every tissue in the body, becomes fat
producing when taken to excess, as we
so often see in the case of infants.
While this is the fact yet there are GER
tain articles which are specially fat and
and heat-producing, such as animal
fats, animal oils and farinaceous foods
as potatoes, corn, beans, etc. The
popular idea that oatmeal is SO heat
ing we consider erroneous. We never
think of feeding our horses corn in
the summer, and we do right, corn
is heating. We give them oats, for
oats give strength and are at the same
time relaxing. Any food that relaxes
the system is not heat-producino unless
taken to excess, and not always then.
What we want, then, during the hot
months is relaxing food. Does not
Dame Nature teach the same lessonp
In the early spring she gives us the
"greens," and veal as substitute for
beef. During the cold weather we be-
come sufeited and the blood is clogged
with too much fatty material, hence the
naatatse which every one experiences as
warm weather approaches. Our fathers
recognized this fact, and would be bled
every spring. They were not SO far out
OF the way, after all, only we think we
know more excellent way by which to
accomplish the same end.
In order not to surfeit ourselves, and
at the same time lead more comfort
aele existence during the summer, we
would advise everybody, in the first
place, to eat less. We all eat too much.
Where one person starves to death, the
thousand die directly or indirectly from
oVer-eating. 1t is an excellent rule al

A Convict by Choice.

A PRISONER sent to the Eastern Peni-
Tertiary, several days ago, on the charge
OF attempted felony, can show record
probably unmatched by any man in the
prison. According to his own story, he
is about forty-fve years old now. He is
robust fellow, with a magnificent
flowing beard and good physique. He
is man with whom prison life evidently
agrees, and he does not hesitate to avow
that there is nothing to equal it. He is
native OF Wurtemburg, Germany, and
his name is Michael Kahl, although
every time he goes to prison it is under
different alias. This will be his sixth
term in the Eastern Penitentiary, and
he has already served nine times in the
County Prison. He came over to this
country at the time when the Hungarian
patriot, Louis Kossuth, visited these
shores. Out of residence of twenty
five years in this country Kahl has passed
twenty three years in prisons. He is a
humorous chap, and as soon as his name
was taken down he asked to be put into
his old CELL He is an interchangeable
worker and prefers to be alone. Talk
ing about the advantages of prison life
over struggling for an existence outside,
he jocularly said: "Why, look at me !;
I'm shoemaker. If was working for
somebody in the city I'd have to 90
after my work and drag it home and
then back again when it was finished,
and then I'd have to hunt up nv
yictuals. Now all that bother don't
have. Here man brings me my work
and comes for it when it is finished. /

q. was in a hotel. What more does a

He is prisoner of ugly temper, how
ever. Although he had been in prison
so often, he escaped detection at Fifth
and Chestnut Streets when arraigned
the last time, but was identified in court
by Detective Miller. He had gone into
an unoccupied house on Vine Street on
July 9th to prospect around. While
in there a band passed down the
street. His curiosity overpowered him
and he looked out of the window. He
was seen, and as the house had been
robbed of gas-fixtures recently he was
suspected and arrested. PASladelphio

ways to rise from the table feeling that
you could eat more. Our needs in the
way of food in the summer are amaz-
ingly small and simple. Always, and
especially in hot weather, should we
avoid multiplicity of dishes. The APP
petite should not be tempted by too
great variety, or stimulated with con-
diments. The succulent articles should
predominant; lettuce OF beet-tops, with
a vegetable oil or cream and egg dress
ing; strawberries, currants, and rasp-
berries; and, for meat, lamb, with peas.
But it is not our aim to suggest indiyi-
dual dishes. We want to impress upon
the reader the necessity of not overeat-
ing, and thus enable him to avoid disease
and discomfort.-W. II. Vail, NJ. d., IA

The Education OF English Girls.

ENGLISH girls are taught---or were in
my timely kind of system which
tends to multiply Accomplishments -
rather than useful knowledge. A GER
tain routine of teaching is gone through,
and you come out of the school-room
with a society varnish intended to do
duty until marriage, at which period
custom allows you to dispense with sur
face accomplishments, and devote your
self to the realities of life, mitigated as
they are for the well-to-do. On the
other hand, the moral atmosphere of the
English home education is superior to
that of American education in general
Girls are less forward and more respect
full; they grow into women more slowly
and ripen better; they are physically
stronger, and therefore have simpler
tastes; and as to society, they do not
know what it means before at least the
age OF seventeen or eighteen. American
girls have certain advantages, how
ever, which custom denies young Eng
lishwomen of good position: they are
not forced by an unwritten law to 90 into
society and play their part in it, while
the English girl has no choice. The
"upper ten thousand - must marry or
become "blue stockings before the
world agrees to let them alone. A young
married woman may, if she choose,
plead home duties as an excuse for a
quiet, useful, pleasant, and studious life,
uninterrupted by any but the necessary
county :" civilities, which are not very
burdensome; but young girls are not
supposed to have such duties. Parents,
even when sick themselves, are 10th to
let the chances of the London season
pass by their daughters, and depute any
safe chaperon, the nearest female rela-
ton If possible, to take their girls to all
the balls and parties. The rudimentary
education furnished to women of the
higher classes has perhaps something to
do with the prevalence of +" fastness -
among part of them, while to others
1t becomes the base of a real, later self
education, the growth of reading, obser-
Walton, and thought.-Atlapttc Montbly.

A Rattlesnake Shared.

l.. b. RATHBURN, a farmer residing
near Cherokee, has in his employ four
or five Italians engaged in choppino
wood. Ground-squirrels being very
plentiful in the neighborhood of the
camp of these men, and being a very
destructive animal on the grain fields OF
Mr.. Rathburn, the Italian gentlemen set
their wits to work to discover mode to
capture them; and this was the plan
they adopted: They found the holes in
which the squirrels burrowed, and drove
a solid stake close to the mouth of each
hole. Thep then took a piece of small
sized wire and fastened one end securely
to each stake, made a sort of slip-noose
at the other end, which they placed di-
rectly in the mouth of each hole. The
result was, when Mr.. Squirrel attempted
to emerge from his hiding-place, he
would run his head directly into the
moose, and that was the last of Mr..
Squirrel. As many as eighteen of the
little veXatious animals were caught in
this manner in one day, The trappers,
however, discovered one soggy old chap,
as they thought, who baffled their in
genuity, and for the purpose of ensnar-
ing him they rugged up three of their
moses and placed them into the hole
occupied by the wary animal, thinking
that if he passed through one or two Of
them, he would be caught by the third
one. Judge of their astonishment on
finding securely fastened within two of
the nooses, instead of squirrel, an i'm
mense rattlesnake, wearing on his neither
end sixteen rattles. The snake was
fastened tightly by two of the nooses,
and was soon dispatched by the trap
pers. Mr.. r. says rattlesnakes are very
abundant in his neighborhood; that
several have been killed near his place

The Flags OF France.

A FEW facts about the flags of France
may not come amiss at this time. She
has had many, from the blue cloak of
st. Martin, adopted in 498 by Clovis as
his standard. There were number of
devices for centuries, the red flag of st.
Davis, also those of white and blue, each
inscribed with various emblems. The
white flag ceased in 1880, and on Oct.
~ OF that year NJ. Menon's proposition
to make the tri-color the flag of the
navy was adopted, Lafayette some time
previously having induced the Paris
Commune to accept that combination.
On July II, 1889, the tri-color was
blessed at the Notre Dame by the Arch
bishop of Paris, each of the flags then
distributed bearing the words: "Dis-
eipline and Obedience" According to
Peiffer it would appear that the tri-color
originated with Louis XVI. himself.
He says that in 1884 he invited forty
farmers to dine at Court, and when they
had been seated he babe the courtiers
present, including one Bishop, +" to take
napkins and serve our fathers In
memory of this event a trophy was
erected bearing the effigy of the King
above representations of the three es-
tates, the nobility by a noble in silver
and white, the clergy by Bishop in
red, and the commoners by farmer in
blue. The Restoration brought back
the white flags strewn with lilies and
Ornamented with the escutcheon of
France, the eagles being replaced with
spear These colors were pre-
scented by Louis XVIII. and his brother
to the troops Sept. 7, 1904. On June 1,
1914, Napoleon and his brother gave
the eagles back to the troops, who swore
henceforth never to recognize another
rallying- point, and to defend the en-
blems. But on March %, 1916, Louis
XVIII. distributed his white flags again,
and truly an old soldier might have re-
marked with Talleyrand, when asked
how many oaths he had taken, "This is
my thirteenth hope it may be the
last" The Commune of 1880 adopted
a black and red flag, but in three days
1T was replaced by the tri-color, and on
Aug. 10 of that year thirty-two flags
were given to 10000 of the National
Guard by Lafayette, who received them
from Louis Philippe. A Gallo cock
surmounted each of these flags. There
have been various other distributions of
flags, from that of the Provisional Gov
eminent on April 90, 1913, to that of

Dangers to Life from Bee Stings.

1T is disadvantage of civilization
that it shows us the dangers to which
life is exposed. Every year presents us
with new peril, and the latest is always
the least expected. French men of
science are now preaching crusade
against the industrious race of bees.
Not only are they destructive to prop
erty, but they are actually dangerous to
human life. The Project of the Paris
police has been appealed to. M. Del
pech has drawn up formidable brief,
and is precise in his statements and
clamorous in his demands. 1t seems
that Bookkeeping is lucrative in the
neighborhood of Paris, and that so also
is the distillery of spirits and the re-
inery of sugar. Moreover, wherever
there are sugar-works the bees are active
and abundant. At Say, for instance,
the loss attributable to them is estimated
ut fl 900 year. M. Delpech gives
facts and figures. At another refinery
the number of bees killed daily amount
ed to twenty-five gallons full. He him.
self saw a large glass of sirup drunk up
in two hours. As to loss of life he is
equally circumstantial He gives full
list of people who died of bee stings in
the course of the year. Most of the
cases occurred in America, but many
are furnished by France and some by
Germany. The death is very painful,
and in some cases extremely sudden.
At Chemnitz, in Hungary, peasant
stung while cutting branch of tree,
died on the spot. At Chester, in Penn
sylvania, a farmer examining some
hives, was stung, fell at once into state
Of syncope, and died within quarter Of
an hour. In another case twenty-five

THE other day a tall Young man
dressed in a tight-itting, long tailed
broadcloth coat with pants to match,
stood up in Judge Dennison's court and
argued case for a client in log
ical way. The lawyers who sat around
were inclined to. smile at the efforts of
the young man to swing the
jury, but he paid attention to
no one. His rather long legs and
arms he kept moving as he made q
clear analytical statement of the facts
in the case, while to give color and effect
to his remarks he held the index finger
of his right hand extended, at times
pointing it at his client, and then at
parties on the other side. There was
something about the young man that
attracted the attention of an old court
attendant, who ventured to ask who he
was.
A lawyer, old in the business and, like
too many, eager to run down the efforts
of a new aspirant for legal honors, said !;
"That fellowP Why, he's a barber.
He works in shop down on the corner
of Sixth and Wash Streets"
"A reporter who happened to hear this
statement, upon the first opportunity
asked the young attorney described
above if he was really a barber. His
answer was as direct as his speech to
the jury. 1t was in the words of Burns,
and was something about man being
man for all that.
"You're barber, and yet practising
law, how comes thatp" the reporter
asked. I

"What did you do during the week p"
interrupted the reporter.

"Oh, no. Since / have been reading
