Something Inside a Pig,

Said Edward Everett once, The
common people will always understand
speaker who understands himself and
uses simple language. But some
speakers seem to possess the incurable
faculty of always shooting over the
common peoples heads. The story is
told of a city minister, who, after
preaching for friend in the country,
was told by the latter !:
You have given us very good ser
mon, with one exception, and that is,
you used some words our people don't
understand.
The former thought the latter was
certainly mistaken and asked what
single word he had used that all could
not easily understand.
"Why," replied the other, You said
felicity instead of happiness Now,
all our people know what happiness is
but great mahy of them, l am sure,
do not know the meaning of felicity"
AS the preacher doubted this, the coun-
try minister said, "There comes one
of our plain, sensible farmers; we will
ask him."
And as the farmer came up he said
eve we've just speaking about a word
the word felicity can you tell US
what is its meaning
"Why, yes" said the farmer; Ger
tainly know what felicity is; it
is something inside a pig, though l
don't know exactly what !"

Diet for Leaness and Fatness.

As a general thing, leaness may
be modified by the use of diet which
contains large proportion of car
bonaceous or fat-producing matter.
Unless the person has a good degree
of out-of-door exercise, however, the
eating of an excess of carbon would
serve to produce feverishness. disturb
the stomach ana bowels, and lead to
some form of bilious sickness. 1t is fat
flesh-food which produces most of the
trouble with people. Those grains,
such as corn and oats which are rich
in carbon. are not so likely to interfere
with the digestion. Milk, oatmel,
cracked wheat, barley, rice, etc, tend
to fatten. while eating Of lean meats.
Graham bread and Graham crackers,
tart fruits, with abundant out-of-door,
exercise, will help to decrease bulk.
Fat people should not eat much milk
or butter, and particularly avoid over
eating There are some advertised
nostrums for people who wish to reduce
their weight, the effect of which are in
injurious to the system. Cases Of
death are reported from taking "anti
fat" remedies. Some people are rotund
by natural constitution and feel well
thus, while others are constitutionally
slender, and have good health also.
