While engaged Oh those important COM
positions Tom could not resist giving an
ear to the conversation which was going
OH on the other side of the fireplace. lie
gathered that the principal object OF the
lawyers visit was TO consult his lordship
about appointing new steward. The post
was at present vacant, the late occupant
having resigned in II hun, and Dir. PEN
ningtoD was in favor OF giving it TO prac-
tical, business-like man, who would not
be above his work. His lordship cordially
acquiesced in his view, and left tic matter
in the lawyers hand, and, having affixed
his signature to few documents, the con-
ference ended.
"Now, gentleman, let US come and have
a look round" said his lordslIip, with an
air OF relief. ''Mr. BIinker, the butler
will hand your letters TO groom, who is
now going into Chichester, AMI who will
deliver them Immediately"
Tom Blinker was trembling with excite
ment, for il had suddenly occurred to him
to apply to his lordship for the vacant
stewardship. He was almost startled by
his own boldness, and, though hot want
ing in cool assurance, he could not at the
moment summon up courage to apply for
the post. He resolved to wait until after
luncheon, by which time he hoped TO have
created favorable impression.
Meanwhile he pulled himself together
and assumed 4 more sedate and business
like air. Tom, was shrewd fellow, aud
was very well posted up as 10 agricultural

10 a recent paper read before the Boston
Society for Medical improvement DR.. R.
NJ. Hodges eaid at is q common i'm.
preston that to TAX. food Immediately be-
fore going to bed and TO sleep ia unwise.
Such a suggestion is answered by a remind.
er that the ~inetinct OF animals prompts
them to sleep as soon as they have eaten,
and in summer an stter.dinBer nap, es.
pecislly when that msal is taken at mid
day, is q luxury INDUCED in by msny.
Neither darkness nor season OF the year
alteIs the conditions. II the ordinary
hour OF the evening meal is 6 or I o'clock,
an interval Of tW e.ve hours or more elspses
without food, and for persons whose nutri.
ton is at fault thisis much too long a period
OF lasting. That such m interval with
out food is permitted explains many a
~restlets night, and much Of the head and
hacasche. and ths languid, half rested con.
diiion On rising. which is accompanied by
no appetite Tor breakfast. This meal itself
often dissipates these sensations. 1t ia,
therefore, desirable, If not essential, when
nutriment is to be crowded, that the las.
thing before going to bed should be the
taking Of fopd. Sleepleesness ia often
caused by starvation, and a tumbler Of
milk, II drank in the middle Of the night,
will often put people 10 sleep when hyp
notes would fail OF their purpose. Food
before rising is an eq1ally important expe.
dent. 1t supplies strength for bathing
and dressing, laborious and wearisome
tasks for the undarisd, and is q better
morning 'pick.me.up' than any hackneyed

Thus far this has been the poor mans
summer. As the landlords at the seasides
and in the mountains-thoee summertime
princes Of the earth, have fretted and
TUNED and guaahed their teeth, but the
heated term came not and the haryeet was
not ripe, the poor man has been able to
smile, TO look complacently on the Their.
mometer and to get his sweet refreshing
sleep at night. The poor man who can.
take his journey away for the summer rep.
reaents the great body OF the people, who
do well to get a week away from work and
household cares, and who take their sum
mering, if they take it st all, when the
thermometer is high and lifeathcme seems
q burden.
Up to this time those cf Us who "can't
get away" have been doing reasonably
well, with nj cause for complaint. There
have been few intolersbly hot days, and
the nights have been for the most part
pleasant. A man who hasn't been able 10
be fairly comfortable this summer
can't charge it up to the heat,
though he may be keeping
an account with q bad conscience or a dis
ordered liver. The thermometer has de.
ported itself with go much decorum and
the cooling bretzs has been SO constant
that there has been little provocstion to
fume.
For all this We should be grateful, for
there are hot days 10 come, and the Pliers
ant weather will prepare us TO meet them
OF something like 'qnel hrns.
