How to Reduce Fat.

DR.. Schweninger, of Munich, has dis
covered a new mode of reducing the
bulk of the human frame. 1t is never
to eat and drink at the same time, but
to let two hours intervene. He has, it
is said, cured Prince Bismarck of a
tendency to obesity in this way. Fat
people have now their choice between
four systems: 1. The original Banting,
which consists of eating nothing con.
tanning starch, sugar or fat. 2. Tho
German Banting, which allows fat, but
forbids sugar or starch. 5. Munich
system, which consists of being clothed
in wool, and sleeping in flannel blankets
instead of sheets. 4. Not eating and
drinking at the same time. In Hulk,
ley's Elements of Physiology" he
divides foods into protocols, which arc
composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxyger
and nitrogen, and which consists O,
gluten, albumen, blood serum, fibrin,
synotonin. casein, gelatin and chondrin:
fats, which are composed of carbon.
hydrogen and oxygen, and consist Of
all fatty matters and oils; amyloids,
which are composed of carbon, hydro
gen and oxygen, and consists of starch,
dextrine, sugar and gum, and minerals,
which consist of water and sundry
alkalis, earths and metals.--L0ndon

Under the Spell of Locomotive.

A large moose deer experienced a
singular fate few miles west of Malta
wa, on the Canadian Pacific Railway,
Wednesday. While No. 80 mixed was
coming east at a high rate of speed the
driver thought that he observed through
the morning mist dark object a short
distance ahead. Every effort was made
to bring the train to standstill. but
without success, for the next moment
the obstruction was struck and sent fly
ing from the track. 1t proved to be
nothing less than large sized moose
deer, which. becoming bewildered at
the sight OF the approaching train was
utterly powerless to move from the
spot. Death must have resulted instan-
tancously, as its side was literally
smashed to jelly. The antlered mon
arch weighed $50 pounds. and is
said to be one of the largest speci-
mems of the moose killed in that locality
for several years.-Cor. Toronto Globe.

DOGS GUARDING PROPERTY.
An Instinct Taught to tho Canine Race b,
Man.

An Instinct Taught to tho Canine Race by
Man.
The dogs fidelity in guarding prop
erty is purely artificial instinct, ere
ated by man expressly for his own pur-
poses; and it is now so strongly in
grained in the intelligence of the dog
that it is unusual to find any individual
animal in which it is wholly absent.
Thus, we all know that without any
training a dog will allow stranger to
pass by his masters gate without mo-
lestation, but that as soon as the
stranger passes within the gate, and SO
trespasses upon what the dog knows
to be his masters territory, the animal
Immediately begins to bark in order to
give his master notice of the invasion.
And this leads me to observe that bark
ing is itself an artificial instinct, de-
veloped, l believe, as an offshoot from
the more general instinct of guarding
property. None of the wild species of
dog are known to bark, and therefore
we must conclude that barking is an
artificial instinct, acquired for the
purpose of notifying to his mas
ter the presence of thieves or enemies. 1
may further observe that this instinct
of guarding property extends to the
formation of an instructive idea on the
part of the animal, of itself constituting
part of that property. If, for instance,
a friend gives you temporary charge of
his dog, even although the dog may
never have seen you before, observing
that you are his masters friend and
that his master intends you to take
charge of him, he Immediately transfers
his allegiance from his master to you,
as to deputed owner, and will then
follow you through any number of
crowded streets with the utmost con-
fidence. Thus, whether we look to the
negative or to the positive influences of
domestication upon the psychology of
the dog, we must conclude that
change has been wrought, so profound
that the whole mental constitution of
the animal now presents a more ex-
press reference to the needs of another
and his enslaving animal than it does to
his own. Indeed, we may say that
there is no one feature in the whole
psychology of the dog which has been
left unaltered by the influence of man,
excepting only those instincts which,
being neither useful nor harmful to
man, have never been subject to his
operation-such, for instance, as the
instinct of burying food, turning round
to make bed before lying down, etc.

GERMAN SERVANTS.
Something About Their Work and Condi-
tion i'm the Fatherland.

Something About Their Work aud Condi-
ton in the Fathcrland.
In their own country the German
servants are admirable, clean, obligiEg
and wonderfully hard working, but they
lack the finish of good English servants.
One great merit they certainly possess
though orderly in their work, yet if
the daily routine is interrupted they are
not utterly upset or demoralized. Our
servant kept eight rooms clean, and
very clean, never a speck of dust to be
seen, cooked for herself and the land
lady, fetched our dinner from the res
taurant, carried up to our floor (the
second) all the wood and water that
was required, scrubbed the stairs and
passage every week, and yet was al
ways ready to run Il message or pest a
letter, and. dressed in her best, fire.
guently went with me to the evening
concert. and came back to fetch me at
ten O'Clock. She was never in bed till
eleven, and was at work by six, neat
and smiling, with no shade of the weary,
jaded look so sad to see in an English
servant. 1t is n mistake to suppose
that wages are very low in Germany;
eco is very usual sum for cook. and
one servant we had in our lodging wher,
she married had f40 in the savings
bank. The economy in German
household is that the servants live very
plainly, and one does the work that
with us would be divided between two
or three. The feeling of attachment
and interest in ''the honor of the fami-
"" so observable in Scotch servants,
is very general, and without undue IA
miliarity German servants are allowed
to share in the joys and sorrows of theiS
employers. The men servants are
strikingly free from the insolent swag-
ger of ..Jeames," and show the same
simplicity of nature as their masters. |

The demand for mutton as an
agreeable and cheap food is steadily in
creasing. The markets of New York
alone require more than a million sheep
annually. Farmers, too, who once
used only bacon and pork, are becom-
ing mutton eaters. The convenience of
a few sheep on every farm to furnish
the family with good, wholesome food,
is now appreciated more than few
years since.-N. Y. Tribune.
What we need on our farms are in
dependent men-men who have the
courage to leave the old beaten track
and reach out on all sides after knowl-
edge, and accept the teachings of sci
ence and the products of invention
which give them promise of greater
success. What we need is higher ed
ucation. We can not expect this of old
heads, but our hope is in the rising
generation, who are to take up the i'm
plements of labor as they fall from the
hands of the fathers. Chicago Times.
