Suppose. The directions are simple
enough, and yet rather hard to follow.
They are substantially the same as recon
mended by Bantfng, the Elglishman who
reduced his weight from 204 to 167 pounds
in six months, and then published his expe
rience for the guidance of others afflicted
by corpulence. The system consists in
abstinence from food that contains starch
or sugar. This excludes bread, butter,
milk, pot toes, beer and all the prcpara
tions into which sugar enters. Unforta-
nateiy for this purpose, women almost
invariably have sweet teeth; but thew
cannot part with their excess of flesh with
out giving up sugar. They must consent
to live chiefly on meat that isn't fat, and
vegetables, excepting potatoes. The
quantity of food eaten may be as great as
the appetite calls for so long as starchy
and saccharine matteris eschewed. This
does not leave woman so badly off as
she might at a glance imagine, if she can
only make up her mind to live without
candy and pastry She may drink sour
wines or sherry, hut no port, champagne
or beer, Distilled liquors are not objec-
tionable in small quantities.

Some "Too Previous Critics

Our Democratic contemporaries, the
Augusta Age and the Argus, are good
deal agitased on account of an alleged vio-
lation of law by Postmaster Manly of
Augusta. The Argus yesterday paraded the
following as one of "the- laws of the United
States":
From and after March A, 1878, the acceptance or
continued holding af any State municipal office,
whether elective or by appointment, by any person
holding the office of postmaster any Federal civil
office. the emoluments of which Office exceed ST. 900
per annum, viii be deemed vacation of the Fed
eral Office held by such person, and will be taken to
be and will be treated as resignation by such
Federal officer of his commission or appointment in
the service of the United States.
This is the Claw which Postmaster God
dsrd was alleged by the Washington Post
to have violated, and lately the Age has dis
covered that Postmaster Manley is certainly
violating it by holding the Office of Trustee
of the Maine Insane Asylum, which it says
Is clearly State Office, if employment as
Commissioner to revise the Statutes is not
There IS not, and never was, any such
law, unless President, "all alone by him
self" has the power to enact laws for the
United States. On the 18th of January,
1873, President Grant issued the above as an
executive order. On the 2Sth of the same
month he issued another, modifying the first
in that it permitted all federal officers to
hold certain state Offices, such as directors
of schools and libraries, aud trustees of
eleemosynary institutions, incorporated and,
in whole or in part, sustained by the State.
Under this permission Postmaster Manly
has continued to hole the Office of trustee of
the Insane Asylum which he held befoIe he
became Postmaster.
Executive orders are regulations which
any President may make and which he may
enforce, revoke, or suffer to be treated with
neglect, at his discretion, The violation of
them is not a crime, but it may bring
reprimand on dismissal. President Hayes's
executive Order Number I, forbidding fed
eral officers to serve on party committees, is
of later date than that quoted above; but, as
all know, it is not enforced by the present
executive although we believe it has never
been revoked.

Mr.. j. W. Niles of Arkansas, who advo-
Gates Preparation" for the colored people,
recently wrote to the President, alleging
that the colored people were suffering griey-
ances at the hands of the civil authorities.
The letter was referred tc the Attorney
General, who has replied to Mr.. Niles tell
ing him that the grievances complained of
are not of nature that can be remedied by
the general government. In consequence of
this reply Mr.. Niles has issued an address to
the colored people, in which he informs them
that their only salvation is to leave this
country and found civilization in con-
genial cline, which will give them stand
ing In the world of commerce and industry,
and enable their race to play a noble part in
the great drama of history. We are inclined
to think that separation of the colored
people from such leaders as Mr.. Niles would
be more profitable to their race than the
kind of separation Mr.. Niles advocates.

The fifth and last of the series of books by Thorn
as W Knox entitled s'The Boy Travellers in the
Far East narrates the adventures of two youths in
Africa. In preparing it Mr.. Knox has drawn lib
orally upon all the books of African travel pub
ished and has brought within the scope of the exper
fence of his boy travellers great part OF the most
wonderful and exciting adventures of them all.
He has also obtained the privilege of using illustra
tions from other books He has skill In construct
ing narrative, and this volume Of African travel
is crowded with adventures and incidents. 1t is not
q work of imagination much as of compilation,
and every page instructive regarding that strange
Continent which is yet to great extent the "dark
Continent No one, young or old, can read this
book without gaining store of information about
the country and the manner of life of it's inhabi-
tants
The Marchioness Clara Lanza's novel is in rather
an ambitious style, sometimes eloquent and
never driyeling. The plot is sufficiently romantic
and ingenious to keep the readers Interest close to
the story and it will be found in most respeQts to
he somewhat above the standard of the average
novel and well deserving the favorable reception it
has met.
There are several Dictionaries of Biography
which are more comprehensive, or at all events
more inclusive, than the new one compiled by Mr.
E. A. Thomas. But this is very convenient and
useful book of reference, containing brief sketches
of prominent historical and living personages Of all
countries 1t will be found to be valuable work
for the family library.
Professor Burt G. wilder's "Health Notes for
Students is little book that be carried in the

directions for preserving the health of body and
mind Intended primarily for students it will prove
