Useful Hints to FIeshY People.

Recourse to starvation, anti-fat, diet
ing by measure, and the swallowing OF
acids is not only absurd but suicidal.
Mr.. Banting's dietary is so depicting
to the system that for one relieved
thereby dozen suffer positive injury.
Any one can reduce his flesh by not
eating sufficient food to repair the
waste that is constantly going on. The
cure, however, in this case is worse
than the disease. Starvation remedies
are of no account, for abstinence from
food means sacrifice Of albumen as
well as fat, and anemia ensues.
A strict regimen is the only cure for
obesity. A dietary, however, that robs
the system of its nutrition should be
avoided. Fat is supposed to produce
fat. Such is not the case. Fat, COM
bining with the carbohydrates and al
luminous compounds, operates directly
against obesity. No dyspeptic need
fear to eat fat SO long as too much is
not taken. Fat checks all nitrogenous
waste and appeases thirst as well as
hunger. The great thing to be done
in order to correct corpulence is to alb
stain from eating starchy and sac
charine foods. Vegetables rich in
albumen, however, make desirable
dishes. Potatoes should never be
eaten. Fish and all kinds of meats
can be eaten at pleasure, but beer and
malt liquors generally should be avoid
ed, in consequence of the carbo-hy-
drates contained therein. A dietary
from which the sugars aud starches are
excluded will do for the corpulent
what no medicine can do-that is,
make them thin.

Sensible Advice.

A well-known journalist recently ad-
vised all boys and girls at once to be-
gin keeping scrap-book, in which
they should set down descriptions of
any noteworthy place or scene which
comes in their way; also accounts of
any remarkable person whom they
met, with their photographs, or little
personal details.

The most trifing details in such a
book as "Pepys' Diary" or the Memoirs
of Madame de Remusat," are read now
with keen interest, as they make flesh
and blood of historical characters who
else would be but shadows to us. There
are other habits which boys and girls
can cultivate that will be of incalcu-
liable use to them hereafter.

A Girl Sleeps Three Weeks.

planned of a severe headache and great
drowsiness on Monday, October 20, and
was finally overcome completely and
dropped off into a heavy sleep, from
which she has but once aroused since,
and then only for a short time After
several hours her mother attempted to
awake her, but found it impossible. The
girl seemed to hear her mothers voice
and to try to rise, but was helpless. As
if by a prOdigous effort of will power,
she struggled to her feet, opened her
eyes and tried to speak. Her lips moved
convulsively, but no sound was uttered.
She was powerless to move her BODY.
and in few moments she again fell on
the bed and relapsed into a cnmatose
condition. in which she has remained
ever since. Her limbs are as rigid AMI
cold as those of dead person, and she
has not eaten food. spoken nor moved in
the three weeks that have interviewed
For the past few days she has wept at
frequent intervals, the tears trickling ST.
lently down her cheeks. This and the
faint evidence of breathing and the pulse
are the only signs of life that have been
exhibited. All medical devices to arouse
her have proved unavailing. The family
have kept the matter quiet, and visitors
are not allowed to see the unfortunate
sleeper. She is twenty one years old and
quite pretty.

In front of the fire sat an old woman

she watched the fitful flames one could
have read her thoughts.

A Horse Car Interior.

The Chicago Neo0s tells this story of
street car scene in that city: There was
large load in Blue Island avenue car
No. 1888 Sunday afternoon, about 2
o'clock, as it rolled up Halsted street.
There were half dozen workingmen in
sunday raiment, an equal number of
nOorly-dressed women, one man with
shiny plug hat, trim little woman wear
ing a sea skin sacque, and two slender
Young men, who on week days might
have been clerks.
One of these young men amused him
self by making almost inaudible com
ments to his companion, who laughed
heartily occas onally. At Adams street
a middle aged woman, slovenly dressed
and carrying bundle, got on the car.
She was slightly the worse for liquor,
and found seat beside the slim young
humorist. In a few moments he ad-
dressed her, and she replied with such
vieor that some of the coarser passen-
gers laughed heartily. Embolden by his
success, he again addressed the tipsy
woman. The little woman il the seal
skin sacque had been growing alternately
white and crimson in the face. Her eyes
flashed as she finally burst out, address
ing the young man:
''If you were a gentleman you would
not speak to this unfortunate woman as
you are doing"
1t was very quiet in the car then. The
slim young man seemed abashed for
moment, but quickly rallied and replied
with an insulting remark. Quick as a
flash the little woman In the sealskin
sacque arose and brought her parasol
down on the head of the offending young
man. His hat was crushed over his
eyes The little woman followed up her
advantage and beat the Young man with
such vigOr that he fell in the aisle.
How dare you make such remark
to me?' she screamed. "My husband is
4 commission merchant, and Phi have
him shoot YOU"
The big man with the silk hat inter
posed and pu led the little woman away
from her victim, who was still crouch
ing in the aisle of the car
During all this turmoil the intoxicated
woman had been collecting her wits.
When she spoke at last she created
sensation.
AM that do yez name by beating the
boy2" she cried, glazing at the painting
little woman who had championed her
cause so vigorously. ats meself that
will take care of meself If there's any
batin' to do l kin do it, an here's the
list that seq l can" Then the irate wo-
man shook very red and very large fist
in the face of the small lady.
The slim young man caught up the
remains of his hat and rushed out of the
front door, the little woman burst into
tears and got off at the next crossing,
while the drur ken woman went to sleep
in corner.
