HEALTH HINTS.
How and When to Eat.

DR.. Edward W. Lambert says: "Our
great trouble is, that most of us eat too
much and too fast of food not needed by
our systems. Most ofus eat what tickles
our palate rather than what nouIishes our
minds and bodies. A laboring man who
does hard, muscular work all day, needs a
large amount of nitrogenous food to make
good bis used-up muscle, but the business
man or CLERK who is housed all day and has
little or no exercise should not overload his
stomach with lot of stuff fer which he has
no need, and which wears out his digestive

SATURDAY, OCTOBER. 81, 1855.
HOW DELAWARE SEES 1T.

Civil Service Reform and its apologist
Thos. F. Bayard are at length getting to be
better understood. The Civil Service law is
we'll enough in theory but totally inapplica<
Bile to our form of government, Its imprac-
ticablity is clearly seen. 1t yields nothing
of good but offers prolific opportunity for
the worst phase of harm, namely, that
which is accomplished under the guise or
cloak of rectitude. Our land is not Uto-
pia, and therefore the innocent angel OF Civ
IL Service Reform can find no place to rest
her feet.
Mr.. Bayard calculated when enunciatng
that all men both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis would bow in homage to the appear
emily clean code which rang from his throat
in sonorous periods on the Senate Chamber
floor But all the world sees that the hon
orable Senator has failed himself, he, the
enunciato. of the doctrine, is the first to
smirch the white garments of the goddess.
What can Mr.. Bayard expect but dscredit
as to any genuine belief or reliance upon his
utterances. All Delaware is familiar with
the interesting appearance of ingenuousness
that suddenly lights up tine face of the ex
Senator, when on the stump, as any partcu
lar sin of a political opponent is being dis
sected. What noble vehemence is seen
how the great man gathers his adjectives o
condemnation, piling them up like Pelion o.
Ossa, to overwhelm the wickedness and pei
fidy of political opponent. We shall hea
that all again by and by. But then we ma
not be so easily enthused.
Instead of wondering, open-mouthed a
the terrible badness of our opponents, a
described by Bayard's facile tongue, W
shall, at the proper opportunity inquire {
what use Thos. F. Bayard has been to til
Democracy, what good is there in him hin
self? Civil Service and Thos. F. Bayard ar

Diet and Dyspepsia.

1t is not surprising to find that directly an.
tagonistics views to DR.. Flint as to diet and
digestion, are4held by Sir Henry Thompson.
In nine cases out of ten, says Sir Henry, in a
recent article in the Nineteeneh Centurp. dys-
pepsia is simply the result of stomach try
ing to digest what it can't. All that per-
son needs, then, is to select what agrees
with him, and he has little trouble with dys-
pepsia. In other words, if the chronic dys-
peptic will diet himself, he can generally
live as comfortably as any one. This is so
obviously the correct view that it needs
little argument for Its support. The mod
ern stomach has become somewhat fastid-
ions organ. 1t has in many cases to be
| treated gingerly-we do not speak in an Off
cial sense. Thousands of men go through
life, examples each day of some prandial
self-abnegaton. Every now and then they
try to teach the stomach wider and more
catholic views, but the viscus is obstinate,
and the owner is forced to his Spartan regi.
men. "For most men," continues Sir Hen
ry, dyspepsia is the penalty of conformity
to the eating habits of the majority; and a
want of disposition or of enterprise to under
take trial of simpler foods than those
around them consume probably determines
the continuance of their unhappy troubles.
have for some years past been compelled,
by facts which are constantly coming before
me, to accept the conclusion that more mis-
chief in the form of actual disease, of impair

our own country, and throughout Western
and Central Europe, from erroneous habits
