EATING TOO MUCH.

Ten persons die prCmaturely of too
much food where one dies of too much
drink. Thousands cat themselves into
fever. bowel disease, dyspepsia throat
affections, and other maladles
Some years ago, the residents of i Ger
man city were one morning wild with
excitement. Everybody was poisoned
The doctors were flying ip every direc-
ton. Water was the only thing they
had swallowed in common. The reser-
yoir was examined. In one corner a pa
per Of deadly poison was found.
The stomach IS the reservoir which
supplies the whole body. \ fever, an
inflammation, or some other malady ap-

the disease.
am acquainted with the table habits
Of large number Of persons. They have
all eaten too much food. Nearly all, too
much in quantity, but all nave eaten food
too highly concentrated. Yesterday
saw a dyspeptic friend eating pears at a
fruit stand. He said with a smile "
20 few Bar,letts half dozen times a
day" Certain die,e;ic rciormers seem
TO think If they ea, coarse bread and ripe
fruits, peck i. all right. Fine -four
bread, pies and cakes are great evils.
A friend who has decayed teeth, dys-

produced by excessive eating Of improper
food, declared in response to my remon-

never depart. This rule, kind reader, |
commend to you: ai,odys take on yoar
plate, betore you begin, eyeryihiBg you
are TO eat. thus you avoid the dessert,
and are pretty sure not to each too much.
This simple rule has been worth thou
sands to me.
Yes, | think there are persons who eat
too little; but where there is one such,
there are hundreds who eat too much.
And when in this country of plenty a
person is found who eats too little, it Is,
generally speaking, by eating fine flour
bread and other unnutritious trash. Fine
-four bread is but little better than saw
dust. If you eat oatmeal, cracked wheat
and beef, you will be surprised to find
how little food you require to run the
machine. Leuois an Golden Rule.

A STORY OF MIRABEAU

The worst enemy of Mirabeau was his
father; it was to him that his son WAS
indebted for his abduction from Holland
and his captivity at Vincennes truce
was at length established between them,
of which it was one of the conditions
that Mirabeau should confne himself to
the province of Elmohsing; and, in pur-
suance of the agreement, he took up his
residence at the chateau of his brothe-in. :.
law. the Comte du Saillant.
His arrival was an event for the whole
neighborhood; the petty landholders of
the vicinity, who had often heard of him
from his brother-in law as man not less
remarkable for his talents than for the
vehemence of his passions, FASTENED to
look on being respecting whom their
curiosity had been SO much excited most
of them were mere sporting gentlemen.

Short of Coal.

The people of Marysville, Perry county,
eight miles above Harrisburg, are hard
pressed FOR enough coal to deep their fires
going. 1t has been the custom with many
Of the families Of the town to combine
clubs of four or five, and order enough
coal direct from the mines to be sufficient
for their Use during the winter. The re-
manning people of the town were supplied
by the local dealers. The pIan mentioned
was pursued this year as usual, and they
ordered what has always before been a
sufficient amount. The unusually severe
weather however necessitated u greater
consumption of fuel than in previous years
and some time ago the supply ran out. In
the emergency the local dealers were rc-
sorted to, but they had made provisions
only for their regular customers and in a
short time their bins were empty. The
dealers at once made application at the
mines for more coal, but thus far have
been able to get very little. Many of the
sidings are blocked with snow, there is q,
scarcity o. coal ears and owing to the eX-
ti:,ordiHarily heavy freight business OH all
the railroads there has been much delay
iii getting the supply SO lnuch needed. 4
coal dealer Of AEarysvilie. says that at the
present time ali tic families in town could
not together show more than halfa ton of
coal!
