A Jubilee in honor of the tiftieth birthday

building was crowded, over 5000 persons being
present. Mr.. Sturgeon and various members
Of the spurgeon family We're grouped on the
platform, and were greeted with prolonged
cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. The
applause continued several minutes after the
opening hymn was sung. The people then un-
dressed the meeting. He spoke at some length
and with great feeling, almost moving the audi
ence to tears. He thanked his hearers in the
warmest terms for their cordial reception. He
said:

Cold Ham and Sausage the Stuff
for Athletes.
From the Harvard Herald.

From the Harvard Herald.
In DIR. Sargent's recent lecture on
"What shall We eat to get strong?" he
said in the course of his remarks: 1t has
been customary to train athletes on lean
beef and mutton, but he thought this a
mistake, as tissue-making food should
be used in combination with these, and
the diet should be changed as to meet
the requirements Of the organism Of the
person using it, for to establish one diet
for all persons was ridiculous. Beef
alone is not superior to meal, beans, or
other farinaceous food, and the size
of the muscles Of o man is not
Indicative Of his strength. Far
inaceous food tones q mar down,
and will tend to give him more endur-
ance. A man who can strike a blow
equal to 400 pounds would be called a
strong man, but his strength cannot be
kept up for any length of time on ami
NAL food, as it comes from the base of
the brain, and endurance must be sought
for in other kinds of food. To reduce
the weight of q man in training lean
meat may do, but when he is down in
weight he must go back to food con-
tanning more carbon, such as ham and
sausages, which should always be eaten
cold. Three years ago this wouldhave
been considered ridiculous by trainers,
but for q diet for running, walking and
rowing, it has been found that saccha1
rine food, with beef or mutton, is the
best; tea, coffee, and alcohol. as we'll IS
condiments, are Objectionable; indeed,
it is not the quantity of food Il person
eats that strengthens him, but the
amount assimilated and worked into
the organism. \

The lack of guideboards on countr

The lack of guideboards on country
roads is u great source of annoyance to
everybody not familiar with their
routes of travel. It is q simple thing
to make o turn at q corner when we
know which road to take, but not so
simple to go many miles or more and
find we are on the wrong road. All
roads are liable to be Travelled by stran-
gers, and every place where two roads
meet should be furnished with q guide
board. Strangers travelling on the
prairies Of the Northwest. even in Sec
tionslong settled, especially where there
are no fences, suffer q good deal from
the lack of guides. Every town and
county should remedy this grievance,
and by doing so will benefit themselves
as we'll as the public. Guideboards ore
necessary in summer, andin winter when
landmarks are obscured, are imper-
atively required. Let everybody help
to guide the traveller on his way"
