An English writer gives some much
needed advice rs TO the times and fire.
quenoy OF meals. In his opinion the
present usual practice of three meals u
day has good reason, rs well rs custom,
in its favor. When work of any kind
is being done. whether mental or bod
lily, the intervals between taking food
should not be so long as to entail de-
mands on the system when its store of
material for the generation of force is
exhausted. An ordinary full meal, in
the case of u healthy man, is generally
considered to have been completely
digested and TO have passed out of the
stomach in four hours. A period of
rest should then be granted to tho
stomach. Assuming that two hours
are allowed Tor this, the interval be-
tween one meal aud another would be
six hours; and this accords with the
experience of most men. During rest
and sleep there Is less waste going on,
and especially during sleep there is
greatly diminished activity of all the
functions OF the body. The interval,
therefore, between the last meal of one
dAN anu tilt lIol Ol INC next may DC
longer, rs it generally is, than between
the several day meals. Assuming that
breakfast be taken about S or o clock,
there should be a midday meal about
or ,, The character of this must de-
pend on the nature of the days occu-
patton and the convenience of the in
dividual. With women and children
this is generally their hungry time, and
the midday repast whether called
luncheon or dinner, is the chief meal.
SO it is with the middle and laboriug
classes, tor the most part But for
merchants, professional men and
others. whose occupations take them
from home all the day, this is incon-
yenient, and moreover, it is not found
conducive TO health or comfort to take
full meal in the midst of the day 5
work. There can, however. be no
doubt that much evil arises from at.
tempting TO so through the day with.
out food, and then with exhausted pow
ors sitting down TO n hearty meal.
Something of light, easily digestible,
bu, sustaining character should Do
taken toward or o'clock.

Unprovokcd Ass.ulrs.


In all large cities. SAYS the Baltimore
San, there is TO be found q more or
less numerous class of disorderlY
persons. whose natural craving for ex-
element is continually tempting them
into brawls and fights. They may be
sand to be the undergraduates OF the
criminal college. for they are mostly
young men, from 20 10 % years OF age,
while the really dangerous profession
al criminals are usually too wary ana
cool-headed 10 draw police attention to
themselves by figuring in street rows
unless there 70 something more TO be
made out OF them than is ordinarily the
case. Whether any considerable num-
her of these reckless but not always
vicious youths shall be gradually hard
ened anti they become incUrrigiblc Of
tenders depends n great deal upon the
character OF the laws and the iirmness
and certainty with which they are en-
forced. Ii sure and severe punishment
is known To await any violation OF
their provisions, many young man
will be saved from taking the first step
toward ultimate ruin But if he hears
his companions Dragging OF the inn
punitv with which they "bustcd the
head of one man or tapped the
claret" OF another, he is very likely the
next time he happens to have taken
glass too much 10 try 70 emulate so
glorious an example. II he escapes
punishment for his first oflense he will
perhaps be led into repetitions until
before long he must be numbered
among those who are permanently at
war with society Every addition TO
the number of this dangerous class
means lessencd security to persons and
property. Every dictate OF prudence
demands that every manifestation OF
lawless spirit should be rcpress 1 with
decision and severity. The c. .npara-
tive freedom OF this city in recent years
from acts of unprovoked violence is
doubtless to considerable extent due
10 the severe penalties 20 which the
law exposes those VINO are guilty Of
making such assaults. especially those
made by night, in the streets and other
places of public resort Ii is under
protection of darkness, ut time
when, work being over, their time IS
free, and when perhaps they are in-
famed by liquor, that young men are
most likely to try to signalizo their
hardihood by some unprovoked attack
upon inolfensivo passers-by. \ recent
occurrence OF this sort has shown that
the spirit which leads to such oifenses
is by no means dormant AT this
time, when the opening political cam
paign is so likely to stir up excitement
and passion. and TO afford opportuni-
ties tor excessive drinking, it viii he
well to hold up before all who may feel
disposed to exercise their pugilistic
abilities upon persons who pass them
after dark upon the streets, that graft
flying their inclination renders them
liable to fine of not less than $25 or
imprisonment in jail for not less than
one month, or in the penitentiary for 4
period not less than six months or more
than two wears.

White stockings are becoming again
in vogue. Doctors have discovered that
the sole OF the foot absorbs DIVES,
whether black or colored, and that a
continuous process of slow blood-pois-
oning is going on among those who use
colored hosiery. The origin of several
new diseases that have lately appeared
is attributed by medical men TO the
pernicious dye stufls which are used in
the manufacture OF stockings.
