Concerning Heath.

One of the causes of dyspepsia at
the present day consists in the hob
bies which so many people ride in
regard to food. One person gets the
impression that one article of diet
Is a cure-all, and another that some
thing else will prevent all the evils
that flesh IS heir to, and he makes q
hobby of this one thing, and not
only rides himself to death on il but
insists that all the persons whom he
knows, or over whom he has any
influence, shall ride it too.
Oatmeal is good in its way, if one
likes it, and grits and Graham bread
and many other things, but they
will create dyspepsia if they are not
properly cooked or used too contin-
ually, and to the exclusion of other
varieties of feed.
Dyspepsia is more often cured by
an absolute meat diet than by a veg
etarian diet, and the reason why
good effects sften follow the first
trials of vegetarianism ais because
the subjects have been In the habit
of eating heartily of meat, and the
change benefits them. On the same
principle it is benefcsal for those
who have been in the habit of max
ing their breakfast of oatmeal to
take new departure occasionally
and make breakfast of meat, fish
or fruit.
There are many small observances
in eating which are essential to
health and to which the most ardent
refermers pay no sort of attention.
One of these is TO be sure that bread
is perfectly sweet, and one day old.
Another is the abstaining from hot
toast, hot biscuit, het bread OF any
kind, not only because it forms
hard, soggy pellets in the stomach,
but melts the butter and reIders it
indigestible.
Tea drank constantly and in such
quantities as one good-sized cup
three times day, as many people
drink 1t, is responsible, say some Of
our leading physicians, for the terri
bic kidney diseases which have de-
veloped themselves with such alarm
ing rapidity of late years. Temper
ance in all things. and as much as
possible of good, wholesome food, is
wisdom.
Give thought, care and pains to
your housekeeping, so that it shall
be clean and healthful, and create
an atmosphere in which it shall be
good to live. Cooking is not all
there is of life, even in the kitchen.
and ifyou find yourself, even against
your will, obliged to give most of
your time to it, put into it your in
telligence, your judgment, and your
refinement, and the result will be
more beneficial TO those with whom
you are Immediately connected .han
if you wrote a successful book.

the noise of huge bull approaching

WELL" said the bull, looking in
nocently at the dog, but with fero-

made the dogs spinal column run

ficient managing editor was getting
too much credit for the prosperity of
the paper, decided to show the re-
porters that he was still master of

dove-tail into graphic account, the
old gentleman hustled into the

FRANCE AND CHINA.

1t certainly looks as If the trOu-
bles and disputes between France
and China which have heen annoy
ing both countries a good deal and
the commercial world not a little
for a year past were about to culm'
mate in opea war. Tie aggressions
of France have been carried To q
point beyond which China cannot
with any degree Of self-respect or
even safety permit it to go. The
dispute now is over matter OF a
few million dollars which the
French need and which they de-
mand from China because some OF
the lattef's troops fred upon the iu-
vaders after a treaty Of peace had
been signed. China claims, as jus.
LITIGATION for her refusal to
pay the money, that the
soldiers fred without authority, and
besides they were ignorant
of the fact that peace had betn de-
elared. France, however, is hum
CRY for money, and will heed no ex'
cuse for the failure to pay the ex-
orbitant indemnity. The time fol
settlement has been twice extended
and yesterday the period Of grsce
expired, with China still clinging tc
her taels and denying the justice Of
the Ere CHI demand, though no!
positively refusing to accede to it.
A little war between France and
China might not prove a bad pro-
ceeding; indeed, it is not clear that
it would not be rather beneficial
than otherwise. 1t might teach
the French that the Chinese are
not the weak, insignificant people
they have been looked upon, ane
also, might be the mean;
| Of letting the Chinese know
their real and great strength among
the nations. If other countries vii
keep hands off and let the two com
batants fight it oat, there will be NJ
doubt as to the resuit-China car

MEXICAN VETERANS PENSIONS.

There seems to be a widespread
erroneous impression regarding the
law for pensioning veterans of the
Mexican war. Many old soldiers
of that war have applied
for pensions, believing that
Congress, last session, provide for
them. There is no change in the
Law. The wrong impression was
undoubtedly gained from it having
been reported in the Congressional
proceedings that the House had
passed the bill for pensionlng the
Mexican veterans, and afterwards
that the Senate had also
passed the measure. The facts
are these: The House passed a
bill granting liberal pensions to the
survivors Of the Mexican war and
their dependent relatives; the bill
went 20 the Senate, which body
also passed it, but with so E1sny
amendments, and placing so many
conditions and restrictions up n the
proposed pensions, that the House
did not recognize its own child. The
House declined to pass the amended
bill and there the matter rests, the
law remaining as it was, only GER

the gigantic railway corporation Of
California has allowed another road

would not now have yielded had it
been possible to avoid the ineVi-

new order is quite likely to be an
Improvement. The Atchison, To-
