High health is one Of our best bless
ings. IL enables us TO make the most OF
life with the least wear and with the
greatest enjoyment. With it is con
nected a vigorous digestion. Its pos
SCISSORS incline TO eat moro than Is
needed to supply nervous force to the
machinery OF the system, OF TO make
good its incessant waste, for they are
either unconscious Of harm from undue
indulgence, or they rapidly rally from
its immediate effects. To this class be
long those who live to eat, instead of
eating 10 live. Ct
The great pulpit orator of England
once wrote, Il ate like a hog, and /
preached like a hog" Many a man Of
lofty powers and position has been, for
the time, utterly shorn of his strength
through the demand made by his stom
aeh on his brain. He who is thus yield
ing daily TO the sway Of his lower n a
ture can not reach the full eapability OF
his higher. If he does not embrute
himself, he must come far short Of tho
full stature of his manhood.
But thore is another penalty which
falls upon u physical powers. Where
more food is eaten than is assimilated,
il Is deposited as oncumbcring fat; or IL
u~ndergoes chemical changes that give
rise to govt; or 1t infiames the kidneys
in their struggle to eliminate it; or it
congests the stomach and liver; or IL
breaks down the brain with s%oftening or
with apoplexy. Men of high health
ought TO live 100 years; they are apt to
fail of their three score and ten.

AN INTERESTING opinion in regard to
United States bonds has been decided by
Judge Durham, first controller of the
treasury. Mr.. Frennit. a citizen Of Bel
GUM, recently presented for redemption
three mutilated coupon bonds of 81. 900
each, which he said he found in Brussels
in 1874. The first controller refuses to
consent to their redemption on the ground
that the finder Of the notes only has a
qualified interest in them, and simply
holds possession of them against all per-
sons except the rightful owner. He holds
that the finder of the bonds acquired no
title therein as against the owner of the
government by which they were issued,
and cannot maintain an action for their
redemption. He further holds in regard
to mutilated bonds that they cannot be
redeemed unless the treasury department
is satisfied that the parts presented are all
that remained of the bonds, or. in other
words, that the unproduced parts must be
satisfactorily accounted for.

trary has been proved, but that the por
lions of the earth's crust projecting far
up into the atmosphere, as is the case
with high mountains, possess less of the
