Health. Diet and Endurance.

Even the experienced trains OF the
prize-ring can not decide what is the
best food for training men up to
their greatest powers Of endurance
They have prejudice in favor Of
mutton-chops and under done beef
steak; but it is by no means sure that
this is the best.
The Roman soldiers who conquer
ed the world, built roads from Lis
bon to Constantinople, and who were
all trained athletes, marching under
weight of armor and luggage that
few men of our day could carry, lived
on coarse, brown wheat or barley
bread. which they dipped in sour
wine.
In our own day the Spanish peas

most agile men IN the world. He
will work all day in mine or wine
press, under q hot sun, and then
dance half the night to the music OF
a guitar. What do they live ont A
piece of black bread and an onion,
perhaps half a watermelon. You
may see them dipping their piece of
bread into q horn of olive oil, and
then into some vinegar, made hot
with pepper and garlic, and then they
are happy. Sometimes they get a
draught of harsh, sour wine, but not
very strong.
The Smyrna porter walks off with

His only food, day after day, is lit

figs, q bunch of grapes, some olives
He eats no beef, pork or mutton
His whole food does not cost him q

After fair and stormy weather,
After travel in fair lands,
After touch Of welded hands,
Why thus joined why ever met?

After care, and blame, andpraise,
Counsel asked, and wisdom given,
After mutual prayers to Heaven,

When they part-are strangers yet.

After title of old friends,
After passion fierce and tender,
After cheerful self-surrender,
Hearts may beat and eyes be wet,
And the souls be strangers yet.

Strange and bitter thoughts TO scan
All the loneliness of man!

Circle unto circle draws;
Circles only touch when met,
Never mingle-strangers yet.

Shall we ever fairly stand
Soul to soul, Us hand to hand?
Are the bounds eternal set
To retain us strangers yet?

Unto something other-higher;
God himself were loved the best,
Were mans sympathies at rest;
Rest above the strain and fret
