Food Makes the Man.

Speaking roughly, about three
fourths, by weight, of the body of man
is constituted by the fluid ne consumer,
and the remaining fourth by the SOLID
material he appropriates. 1t is there
fore no figure of speech to say that food
makes the man. We might even put
the case in stronger light and affirm
that man is his food. 1t can not OBJ
viously be matter of Indifference what
a man eats and drinks. He is, in fact,
choosing his animal and moral char
acter when he selects his food. It Is
impossible for him to change his in
herited nature, simply because modifi-
cations of development occupy more
than anaindividual life. but he can help
to make the particular stock to which
he belongs more or less beery or tieshy
or watery, and so on, by the way he
feeds. We know the effect the feeding
of animals has on their temper and very
natures: how the dog fed on raw meat
and chained up 50 that he can not work
off the supertluOus nitrogenlzed ma
terial by exercise become a savage
beast. while the same creature fed on
bread and milk would be tame as
lamb. The same law of results is ap-
I Gcable to man, and every living organ
Ism Is prOpagated In ltS klnu With d
physical and mental likeness. This is
the underlying principle of develop
ment. Happily the truth is beginning,
though slowly and imperfectly, to find
recognition it has long been denied. 1t
is possible that in the natural desire to
secure the best, purest supplies OF food
and drink for man we are pushing mat
tiers little to extremes and becoming
ridiculous. Utopia is long way off.
and '.Hygeia' has not been built: It
is. however, desirable that we should
aim high and make the teachings of
physiological science the precepts OF
our daily life and conduct. We may
not be able to reach our ideal, but prog
ress will be. advanced by striving to
make its attainment an object. What
to eat, drink and avoid is a rational
proposition, and if some of us are be-
coming little unreasonable in the at
tempt to solve it, at least we are on the
right road and ought to be encouraged
rather than abashed by the not unkindly
criticism our endeayors are calling
forth. Albany Argus.

that Miss Percival was being put to

The ~Old Rebel Yell. "

We are told in the dispatches of Re-
publican newspapers that the announce
ment of the nomination OF Mr.. Carlisle
by the caucus of Democratic represent
tatives in Congress was ''greeted with
the old rebel yell.'' It il practice in
this country, where contests take place
in political bodies, for the victors to sig
nifty their qualification by vocal demon
STATIONS This practice is not confined
to any party. The yell that followed
the defeat Of Grant at the Chicago con-
vention was perhaps q rebel yell. in the
same sense that the, applause succeed
ing the nomination of the Union General
Hancock at Cincinnati was one. Union
ism and seccssionisn, treason and pat
riotism, are hard to be distinguished in
q. hdzza. There might be . difference
between stalwart yell and h;slf-breed
yell as between a mans and girls or
child's: but it is getting it down to a
fine point when q yell is to be recog-
nized in tone or meditation, or shrill-
ness, or volume, OF. continuance, in re-
spect to its fea1ty, or the reverse, to the
old flag. It was too bad that right in
the Capitol, underneath the statue of
liberty, there should have been heard
Saturday night the .'old rebel YELL and
worse yet that SO many who helped to
swell it had, some twenty years ago,
kept step to the music of the Union, and
who have never been lacking in loyalty,
either since or before. We hope and ex-
pect to hear of more such yells; and I'M
less all signs fail the welkin will ring
with a big one not year hence.-6.

She could not help thinking, too, that if
Mrs. Lascelles' influence had had much
to do with shaping this young man into
what he was-as he seemed to imply
the lady might well be proud of her
pupil. For if ever a man existed whom
his wealth, and his youth, and his free
dom had not spoiled, and who always
was, and never could be anything else
than a simple, honorable, straightfOr-
ward gentleman in thought, word and
deed, that man was John Mallabarr.
The influence of sincere nature always
makes itself felt. Margaret felt it in
talking to Mallabarr this afternoon, as
they paced about the terrace until, look

hair. and the scent of the wall-tiowers
making, as it were, an incense in the
air around them.
