when You're Hungry. Drink When Your
Thirsty. Sleep When sieePy'-A Brief
Discourse on DrInks-Baths.
The Hon. John Wentworth sat ut the
corner OF n pretty little table slipping
Rhine wine and listening to the chatter OF
the fair danes and damsels arranged
about him. Mr.. Wentworth prides him
self on longevity, and when "A freckle-
faced maiden in a red bodice asked him
show he managed to live young so long"
the ex-mayor rubbed his long, beautiful
hands together, threw his shoulders back,
and replied:
well. it's a continued story. Many
cantos to it ms there are to 'Childe Harold
But the final is, l amt going to get old
while | live, and Pm not going TO stop
living. This world is a pretty nice sort OF
n place. It suits me; 1 like II, and I've
made up my mind to stay here, People
have no business being i'll; needn't be, If
they only live right"
ado tell us what you mean by living
right" was the next question, that came
from the group in concert.
nAh, now you've got me. Well, I'll tell
you how / manage, but IL won't fit your
case1, | know, for you women folks aren't
like anything else on earth" Without
needing the ~ohsi' of expostulation and
remonstrance Mr.. Wentworth delivered
the following little lecture on hygiene,
which was made the subject OF CONVERSE
ton for a whole hour OF the reception.
MEAIs WHEN YOU WANT THEM.
He said: ~ never was one of your bell
livers. never did md never will live on
time. Got no use for call-bells, dinner
bells, or alarm clocks, and believe they
do more for the general staying of health
and killing Of people than either %gluttony
or intempernnce. Now, my doctrine is
this, eat when you're hungry, drink when
you're thirsty, sleep when you're sleepy.
and get up when you're ready.
"Why If | had been rung up the morn
ing and rung to M meals ms some people
are I'D been dead years ago. No. ladies
the way you want to do, II you want to
live and go TO all the afternoon receptions
and old settlers reunions, is to have your
meals when you want them, and have
what you want"
~ get up in tho morning when am
ready, Sometimes at 8, sometimes at s,
sometimes | dom get up Mt all. Then |
have my breakfast II | want 1t. II my ap-
petite don't get round, l don't have any.
What's the use eating II I'm not hungry
| know | can ave 1t; its there; but II |
don't need it, why don't go down, that's
all. Eats oh any thing | feel like. Eggs,
fish, chop or So potatoes, toast, fruit, tea
and buckwheat cakes"
"No coffeey nor biscuitsi" was asked in a
chorus.
"No coffee. Coffee makes you yellow,
and don't want TO be taken for a Mon
golian. Don't eat biscuits, cause they're
always hot, and don like hot bread"

"Dinner when I'm ready. and that Is

BRIEF DISCOURSE IN RGNK
For the benefit of the w. C. Il. u. ele-
nent the ex mayor explained that he used
% entertain quite n fancy for whisky, but
he stuff was too powerful and he cut
Dose. after l gave up whisky | took to

said that hotel life is the best calculated to
bring out the Municipalities of a man as
