Do We Eat too Much :
From the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
The amount of nourishment which
a person needs greatly depends on
his constitution, state of health, hab-
its and work. A sedentary man re-
quires less than one whose duties de-
mand the exercise of his muscles, and
brain worker needs more than an
idler. But unquestionably the ma
jority of us take more than we need.
Indeed, food and work are distrib>
uted most mequally. The man of
leisure is also the man Of means, and
accordingly, fares sumptuously every
day; while the laborer tolls for eight
hours, and finds it difficult to get
enough to repair ohe waste of his
tissues. YET Chinaman or a Ben
galee will toll under tropical sun,
and find few pence worth OF rice
or jowrah sufficient TO sustain his
strength. a Frenchman will not
eat half what an Englishman engaged
in the same work Will demand, and
Spanish laborer, content in ordinary
times with watermelon and bit
OF black bread, will toll in the vine
yards and grow tat on dietary OF
onion porrldge- and grapes. 1t is

the Continental railways, found that

athletes does not exist, live in the

mainly on beans favored with few
cubes OF pork. But they also obtain
the best of water and the purest of

exercise enable them to digest every
ounce OF their frugal fare. The Eng

of club loungers considers indispen'
sable for his sustenance. An athlete
in training is allowed even less food !;
yet he prospers on the limited fare,
and prolongs his life by the regimen
to which he has been subjected.
King Victor Emmanuel was a mon,
arch OF the most robust physique !;
yet he only ate one meal per day,
and it is manitestly absurd Tor any
man to require three more or less
weighty meals, and an afternoon cup
OF TIA, to support the exertion Of
walking to the club, riding an hour
in the park, writing a note or two,
and dancing a couple OF miles around
a ball room. The anclents had their
"amethustoi," or "sober tones" by
which they regulated their indul-
gence at table. The moderns have
not even this. But they have their
govt and their livers to warn them,
when it is too late, that nature mas
been overtasked.

How to Train the Memory.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
Your memory is bad, perhaps but
l can tell you two secrets that will
cure the worst memory. One of
them is to read subject when in
terested; the other is not only to
read, but think. When you have
read paragraph, or page, stop,
close the book, aid try to remember
the ideas on the page, and not only
call them vaguely to mind, but put
them in words and speak them out.
Faithfully follow these two rules,
and you have the golden key Of
knowledge. Besides ihattentive
reading, there are other things in
furious 10 the memory. One is the
habit Of skimming over newspapers,
items otnews, smart remarks, bits Of
information, political reflections,
fashion notes, so that all is con-
fused tumble, never to be thought of
again, thus diligently cuitivating
habit OF careless reading hard to
break. Another is the reading of
trashy novels.
