On the Goth of June a young woman Civ

WAsHINGToN, August 9.-Within the next
generation no man feeling the full response
bility of American citizenship will be so ex-
travagant with his signature in recommend
ing applicants for office as has characterized
him in the past. This is one of the reforms
that Mr.. Cleveland has already succeeded in
making. A citizen, in the estimation of the
appointing power, has no right, .indeed, he
is guilty OF a crime, when he writes his in
dorsment OF an unworthy man for public
position. The private individual as well as
the President owes something to the well be-
ing of society.

importance Of Bulk in Food.

Although the presence of sufficient
quantity of nutritive matters in the food
is naturally the most fundamental mat
ter for consideration, its bulk is scarcely
less important. The function of diges-
ton requires that the food shall prop
erly fill the stomach; and however large
the supply Of nutritive matters may be.
their effect is imperfectly brought out if
the food be too small in bulk, and it
actually becomes more valuable if
diluted with woody fibre or some other
inert substance. On the other hand, if
a food be too bulky, the sense of reple-
ton causes the animal to cease eating
long before it has obtained sufficient
supply of nutritive matter. 1t is most
necessary. therefore, to study the bulk
of the food. and to consider how to mix
different substances in such manner as
to adjust the proportion of nutritive
matter to their bulk. If we examine the
nature of the mixed foods most in vogue
among feeders, it will be most generally
found that very bulky food is combined
with another of opposite properties.
Hence roots. the most bulky of all kinds
of food, are used along with oil-cake or
bean-meal: and if, from any circum-
stances. it becomes necessary to replace
. large amount of roots by the latter
substance, the deficient bulk must be
replaced by hay or straw.-Boston

are far less surprising to the average

parison are puerile and unworthy of

Heller had several methods of per-
forming the trick, which he would
change from night to night to prevent
discovery at the hands of those per-
sistent persons who attended his seances
every evening in order to finally dis
comfit him BY a discovery. BY using
several methods night everybody
would be more mystitied than ever. In
the first place. Heller formed as basis
of his operations a list of over four
hundred articles. which would cover al
most everything that an audience would
be likely to bring to theater. This
was subdiyided into group of thirteen.
These series were committed to memory
by Heller and his fair assistant in the
order in which they were arranged. For
instance. here is one of the series that
was used to give the color of an article,
or the first thirteen letters of the alpha
bet, or the numeral herewith stated.
As will be seen, the color, letter.
or number was obtained by the way in
which the question was framed.
