Something of a scene occurred one
day last week upon the visit of one
our most imperially named attorn-
eys to his office. Returning from a
successful week at an adjacent court
he paraded the pavement leading
from his house to his office with an
air Of stiffened propriety becoming
his legs and spinal column, whatev-
or impression it might have produc-
ed on the mind of the observer as
to the condition ofhis bank account.
With like dignity and precision he
approached his office door, extract
ed from his coat tail pocket a key,
put it into the lock, turned the bolt
and threw open the door. And then
there was suddenly a great change
in that mans appearance. His Sc
rene calmness and dignity fled him,
his game leg settled to its aceustom-
ed level, and even his incandescent
hirsutc perceptibly paled its glow
under the enlarged and penetrating
eyes that protruded from their sock
cts in unteigned amazement. His
Office was vacant. Not a table, not
a book, not a card, not a bottle (of
ink was there to meet his aceustom-
ed gaze. One look was sufficient,
and he started down street at 2:40
strides. At the post office he inquir-
ed if the sheriff was in town. Some
one replied, che was in town yester-
day moving your Office" Moving
my ofilcel the blank you say! /
thought some thief had stolen it, and
l had a job for the sheriff" 1t seems
that during his absence our friends
law partner had found a moro eligi-
BILE room and had moved the whole
stock without consultation. The
laugh was against our imperial
friend, and he said: but by hockey,
boys, l had about as soon the old
Office had been stolen by some strug-
Cling genius who would utilize it,
as to have heard Tom Cain say that

FAREWELL.


The boat went drifting, drifting, over the
sleeping sea,
And the man that loved the dearest sat in
the boat with me,
The shadow OF coming parting hung over the
great gray swell,
And the winds that swept across it sobbed on
farewell, farewell.
The boat went drifting, drifting, in the linger-
ing northern night,
And the face that loved the dearest paled
with the paiing light.
We strove 10 join light laughter; we strove to
wake Jest;
But the voice that 1 loved the dearest rang
sadly mid tho rest.

skies lowered down,
And the dragged rims OF thunder gave tie

A Dead Letter Incident.

A very amusing incident recently oc-
Cured at the dead letter Office. A lady
ordered a set of false teeth from a
dentist in Harrisburg, Pa, and directed
them to be sent by mail. She waited
several weeks for their arrival, and, as
they did not come, she wrote to the
dentist to know the cause of the delay.
He informed her that he had mailed
them soon after they were ordered, as
instructed. The lady went to the dead
letter office to inquire if anything had
been heard of a package addressed TO her
AS she was very modest, she did not
ike to Civ the name Of the article con-
tained in the pack ge. But upon being
informed that in order to recover the
lost package she must desert its con-
tents, she did as requested and imagine
her surprise when Superintendent Dali
las handed her mutila'ed box contain
ing the fragments of what were once a
set of teeth. The pouch in which The
package was mailed had been run over

Mans Natural Food.

Before entering upon those points !
must premise few words on the main
question: What is The natural food of
lnauP AS all abstract truth, the maxim
of the physiologist Haller is absolutely
unimpeachable; "Our proper nutriment
should consist of vegetable and semi
animal substances which can be
eaten with relish before their natural
taste has been disguised by artificial
preparation" For even the most ap.
proved modes Of grinding, boiling,
and freezing our food are, strictly
speaking, abuses of our digestive or
gars. 1t is a fallacy to suppose that
hot spices aid the process of digestion;
they irritate the stomach and cause it
to discharge the ipgesta as rapidly as
possible, as it would hasten to rid
Itself OF tartarized antimony or any
other poison; bu5 this very precipita-
tion OF the gastric functions prevents
the formation of healthy chyle. There
is an important difference between
rapid and thorough digestion. In sim
liar way high temperature Of our food
facilitates deglutition, but, by dis
pensing with insalivation and the
proper use of our teeth, we make the
stomach perform the work OF our jaws

make our food less digestible. By
boiling our flour and extracting the nu-
tritive principle OF various liquids,
we fall into the opposite error; we try
o assist our digestive organs by per-
! forming mechanically a part OF their
proper and legitimate functions. The
health of the human system cannot be
maintained on concentrated nutriment ;
even the air we inhale contains azotic
gases Hhich must be separated from
the ife-sustaining principle by the
action Of our respiratory organs-not
" any inorganic process. We cannot
breathe pure oxygen. For analogous
reasons bran flour makes better Eread
than bolted flour; meat and saccEarine
fruits are healthier than meat extracts
and pure glucose. In short, artificial
extracts and compounds, are, on the
whole, less wholesome than the palata-
BILE product of nature. In the case oi
bran flour and certain fruits With a
large percentage Of wholly innutritious
matter, chemistry fails to account for
this fact, but biology suggests the
mediate cause: the normal type OF our
physical constitution dates from period
when the digestive organs OF our frugiv-

to such food-a period compared with
whose duration the age of grist mills
