Edwin Booth.

Edwin Booth, when not on the stage,
is great smoker. He never drinks any
alcoholic liquors. Tea is his only slim
ulant. He never attends late dinners or
suppers, and never has an "ont. . After
acting he is very much depressed and
likes to lie abed to recuperate during
much of the next day. In the parlance
of the day, Edwin Booth is "re-
formed" man. From the time Junius
Brutus Booth-his father-died in 1852,
until the assassination of President Lin
coin by his brother John, in 1866, Edwin
drank and drank hard. During the
greater portion of that time the three
most prominent, most talented and most
dissipated young men upon the Ameri-
can stage were VIM. Goodall, Fl. A.
Perry and Edwin Booth. Billy Goodall
and Harry Perry are both dead-victims
of drink. The terrible act of his brother
John reused Edwin from folly. It is
generally believed that John Booth, the
assassin, was very Incorporate young
man, but such was not the case. 1t was
Edwin who tossed the ruby johns
weakness was women. From the gay,
IOyStoTAlS, IcchASSS young 0HOCdp o1
twenty years ago, Edwin Booth is now,
and has long been, one of the soberest
and gravest of men. He is naturally of
q morbidly melancholic temperament,
and, sinco his change in habits, he de-
lights in nothing but his professional
duties on the stage, and the companion
ship of his family in the seclusion of his
home. Upon the street or in mingling
among men he is habitually wrapped in
gloom. That he does not attend dinner
parties and the like is not strange to
those who know him, for he does not
care for society, and never did-not even
In his youth. His resting the day is
simply custom observed by nearly all
great actors. Celebrities like Mr.. Booth,
when in their own country, seldom at

they may have. Such work is attended
to for them by a subordinate, In the

The Dog.

The dog is a digitigrade carnivorous
mammal. This will be news to most
persons, who had always supposed that
dog was simply dog.
It has been bruited about that the dog
is the best friend to man among the brute
creation.
He pants after the thief. When once
he gets hold of the thief's pants he makes
breaches.
A barking dog never bites; that is to
say, when he begins to bite he stops
barking. Conversely, a biting dog never
banks, and for similar reasons.
The hair of dog will cure his bite.
This is a cure-ious superstition among
Drained young men who are fast go
ing to the dogs.
Dogs are dentists by profession. They
insert teeth without charge.
The sea dog loves his bark. Did you
ever see dog that didn't?
The bark of tree is unlike the bark
of dog. Even dogwood know this.
Dogs are not always kind, though there
are manykinds of dogs.
Every dog has his day, although dog
days last but few weeks in the year.
There must be Sirius error here.
The dogs star is the dogs planet.
They planet so that their days come
while the star is in the sky.
They do not fear it. 1t is not Skye
terrier.
When a dog enters pitched battle he
uses the dogs tar.
Brutus said, II had rather be dog
and bay at the moon than such Ro-
man."
He had seen the dogs roamin' around
ON the bay.
They never get over the bay.
Sea?
A living dog is said to be better than q
dead lion. There's no lynn about this,
but dead dog is dog gone bad.
Tray was good dog, but trays worse
than the duce when held against you.
Dogs were the original Argonatuts.
They have never given over their search
for the feas.
The bull dog is a stubborn fellow. He
is not easily cowed.
A great many stories about the dog
have obtained currency. The man who
has left part of his clothing with the
dog has cur rent. See?
Puppies are born blind. They are moi
see dogs then.
There are many types of dog, includ-
ing the doguerrotype.
But perhaps we had better paws
here.

HYgipnic MenHS.

By adopting an absolutely non-stimu-
lating, chiefly vegetable diet, combined
with active exercise in the open air, the
most dyspeptic glutton can cure himself
in the course of a single season, and by
the same means every boarding school
might become dietetic sanitarium. Tho
following list of hygienic menus is ar
ranged in the order of their digestibility
and wholesomeness: r-ta.s
Milk, bread, and fruit. Eggs raw or
whipped, bread, and honey. Boiled
eggs, bread, and apples (ancient Rome).
Bread and butter, rice pudding, with
sugar and fresh milk. Corn bread, or
roasted chestnuts, butter, honey, and
grapes (the usual diet of the long -lived
Corsican mountaineers). Fish, butter,
oatmeal porridge, and fresh milk Danish
Islands). Pancakes, honey, or new mo-
lasses, poached eggs, boiled milk, and
bread pudding. Vegetable soups, baked
beans, potatoes (baked or mashed), but
ter, biscuits, and apple dumplings.
GENERAL RU1Es.-Avoid stimulants,
alcoholic and narcotic drinks, tobacco,
and all pungent spices; be sparing in the
use of animal food, especially in summer
time; in midsummer eat fruit with every
meal; let unprepared food (fresh milk,
fruits, etc. form part of your daily
fare; of unprepared ailments, as we'll as
of unspiced viands, the most palatable
are the most wholesome; eat slowly, and
masticate your food; never eat if you
have no appetite, and finish your last
meal three hours before bedtime.

Unshod Horses.

In Mexico, Peru, Brazil and else
where, unshod horses are daily worked
over roads of all kinds, carrying heavy
packs from the interior down to the coast,
the journey to and fro being often extend
ed to several hundred miles, and they
never wear out their hoofs. The roads
are neither softer nor smoother than
those of England and Ireland. On the
wlds of Exmoor and Dartmoor, as also
In the Orkneys and on the Welsh hills,
and In many parts of Continental Eu-
rope, horses run unshod over rocks,
through rayines, and up and down pre-
cipitous ridges, yet they never suffer
from contracted feet, or from corns OF
cracks, until they become civilized and
have been shod. Differences In the
quality of the soil, be it hard or soft,
stony or sandy, smooth and slippery,
are of comparatively little importance
to the horse whose feet are as nature
made them. The unshod horse can deal
successfully with all roads. In the re-
treat of the French army from Moscow,
the horses lost all their shoes before
they reached Vistala; yet they found
their way to France over hard, rough
and frozen ground The natural sole OF
the horses foot is almost impenetrable.
It is so hard and strong as to protect the
sensible sole from all, harm. And all
horses feet exposed to hard objects are
made harder by the contact, provided
only that the sole Is not pared. Sir

Snn Storms.

1t is pitiful to witness the condition Of
the sun. The great fireball is in intense
commotion. His surface is scanned and
SCARED in every direction with black
spots that indicate the disturbing ele-
ments at work in his chaotic mass. Dc
casionally, for day or two the bIem-
ishes disappear, and the glorious king of
day shows face like shield Of glowing
gold. But the aspect quickly changes;
spots come rushing In all directions and
assuming all forms. Theyappear singly
and In pairs, and again in groups and
rows. Immense groups break up into
small ones, and small ones unite to form
great chasms, into which half dozen
worlds might be dropped and there
would still be room for more. Some
times the Spots are visible to the naked
eve, and at time good opera-glass or
spy-glass will make them easily percepti-
bic. Hundreds of observers alloyer the
world watch the suns face every clear
day, and keep a record of the number Of
spots, their size and the direction IN
which they move, for as the sun turns on
his axis they turn with him, some of
them remaining for months without
much change, sometaking on new forms
and some disappearing entirely. Very
little is known of this mysterious sun or
the spots that are visible more than miles
away.
Once In about eleven years the sun
takes on his sunspot phase. No one
knows the cause. Some believe it is
the fall of great masses of meteeric mat
ter, and some that is the result of in
ternal commotion and the rush upward
of gaseous explosions, in comparison
with which our fiercest volcanic erup-
tons are but the flicker of a fame. Be
sides the sunspots agitation, the gaseous
outbursts are marked and vivid. The
tongues of flame or rosy protuberances
are darting forth in all directions and
bearing their testimony to the solar COM
motion. Mr.. Trouvelot, of Cambridge,
who makes daily observation of the suns
chromosphere, gives graphic descrip-
ton of a remarkable solar protuberance
that he witnessed. When first seen it
was large and comphcated, extendingup-
ward from the sun about hundred
thousand miles. Three or four hours
after, it had developed into huge proper
tons, extending far out into space, and
vanishing gradually to regions where it
could not be perceived. As nearly as it
could be measured, it reached height
of over quarter of the suns diameter,
orEabout two hundred and thirty-fHe
thousand miles. Such protuberance
hurled upward from the earth would al
most reach the moon! Two hours after
the whole structure had collapsed and
was only about eighteen thousand miles
high. Observations like this give an
idea of the mighty forces at work in the
solar orb, and make observers long for
the time when a satisfactory solution
may be found for this mysterious periodi-
cal solar disturbance, so intimately con-
nected with the meteorological condition
of the earth. -ProUide,ac Journal.

A lady listener at the House of Com
mons first complains that the ladies can
not be seen, and then that the men on
the floor are all bad-looking. She says:
I'm the ladies cage there are sixteen
front seats. From these the occupants
can see nearly all the members, including
the Cabinet Ministers, but can neither
see nor hear the Speaker. These six.
teen chairs are Immediately behind, the
gilded ecclesiastical lattice-work which
prevents our being seen from the floor of
the House. Is it not remnant of bar
barism to suppose that women should
not be seen In our houses of legislation?
Behind these chairs are sixteen others,
the occupants of which can hear, but can
not see, and no one knows what an assist
ance sight is to hearing unless he has
tried it. Seen from above the members
of the lower House are not conspicuous
for beauty. Perhaps the view from our
eyre is not the most favorable. Artemus
Ward says that if you want to see a
woman at her best you must look up at
her; and it is no doubt trying to man
TO he looked down upon. So, under the
circumstances, the members may not be
seen at their best. Perhaps that is why
their attitudes appear so ungraceful and
their gestures like those of marionettes.
