Dict for Aged People.

Tic FIRST question is in regard to food.
The teeth in old age are, of course, lost,
and they should, unless under ex-
~ceptional circumstances be replaced by
artificial teeth; for the thorough chewing
Of food is ever more necessary in the old
than in the young, because in the old the
digestive powers are apt to fail. With
the best artificial teeth mastication is apt
to be imperfectly performed, hence the
food for the aged should be soft and
readily comminuted, and especially
should it be of easy digestion. Very few
old people need stimulating diet; very
many are injured by an excess of
heterogeneous food. The kidneys, like all
other organs, are feeble, and, if meats
and other rich foods are used in excess,
they greatly increase the strain upon
these organs Milk and milk products,
or preparations of bead stuff, cooked
with milk, should form a very large
proportion of the food of the ordinary
aged individual but individual peculiari-
ties differ SO much that personal medical
counsel should in all cases be taken, SO
that the diet may be regulated to the
needs of the individual case. Very many
old people are hurt by the use of food in
excessive quantity; since but little exer-
else can be taken, all growth has ceased,
and the bodily furnaces, which make
heat, are able to destroy very little Of
food fuel.
The Opelousas courier., 1886-11-27
Well Liked.

In Japan. Americans ale very popular.
Only a short time ago IN American
gentleman wanted to rent a country
house rear Toxic, after much search his
agent found one five or six miles out
which suited. On going to the owner,
who CHANGED to be one of the old daimios,
not now in public life, for the terms, and
adding that he wanted the house for an
American, the daimio said, "You want it
for az Americana Isn't America the
country that voluntarily returned the
Shimoneseki indemnity money to the
Japanese government. 2" Yes" said
The agent. "Fery WE'LL" replied the old
aaimio, s'you can tell the American
gentleman that the house is not for rent
at any price, but he a have it for six
months, or as long as he pleases, for
nothing, and heartily welcome y And
this is the feeling which pfevaIIs every
where. Count Monye, the japanese
minister of foreign affairs, said to an
American gentleman the other day, eve
love the Americans above all foreigners.
They have always been kind to us, and
all orr people know it. If a traveller in
any part Of the empire says he is an
American, he will Immediately receive
every kind and courteous attention; but
If he says he is a German or an English
MAXWELL, he will not be treated IN
kindly, but he will not receive such a
hearty welcome as would be extended to
an American.
The Opelousas courier., 1886-11-27
Stay Mt Home, Girls.

Don't leave your homes III the country
for any slight u The city is not
what it seems to you who have only
visited it at intervals, IN pleasure bent.
Life there has its delights and con-
veniences, but it also has its serious
drawbacks. Before making the plunge
into life in the city, country girls should
ask themselves what is really to be gained
by it. Perhaps IN their quiet, rural
homes some stray advertisement has
reached them, promising to young women
high salaries for light work. Hundreds
of these advertisements are framed 80,
the very purpose of deceiving the unwa-
ry. They accomplish their purpose,
however, and large numbers of young
girls rush up to the city, dazzled by the
generous profusion of promises. A girl
from the farm answers one of these
advertisements. Life may have been
slow at home, but there was always good
food and in plenty, and there was some
one to care for in the old farmhouse.
when she goes to the big city she finds
that the eight work" consists in work
ing all day in a badly lighted and ILL
smelling workshop, where cores of other
girls and women are employed at wages
hardly high enough to keep body and
soul together. Assa result, she may soon
find herself III some cold garnet, lonely,
overworked, dcspondent and miserable.
Better remain at home than risk the
failure which attends so many girls who
go to the city in pursuit of high pay fol
light work. 1t is the saddest of all ad
ventures, forsaking a country home fol
the illusi us and receptions of a large
town.
The Opelousas courier., 1886-11-27
Not Married.

This is an actual fact. Two st. Paul
commission men were travelling on the
cars. The coach was crowded, and one
of them had to sit in a seat with a lady
who had kindly offered it to him. The
other found a seat directly behind him
with a gentleman.
As soon as Mr.. Drummer was seated
she began talking to him. She was a
loud-voiced person, and asked, so that
every n in the car heard her,
"Are you a traveller"
"Yes, ma'am," said the G. T.
"Why do you travelling men never get
married?" asked the lady.
"They do; 1 know a great many OF
them that are" said the c. 7.
'tYou do2" said the lady.
"Yes, ma'am; most of my frieuds are
married"
"Well, l have lived in a hotel all my
life, and | y met Ii that said nc
was married" said the lady.
"That's STRANGE" said the G. T.
''Are you married." asked the lady II
q voice that was heard all over the car.
"No, ma'am, / am not" answered the
G. T., blushing.
The train had come to a dead stop at 8
station just as the last question was
asked and answered, when the C.T.in the
back seat reused up, nudgcd his FRIEND
who had been Intercepted by the lady
and said,-
"By the way, G., did you stop a
s. this morning5"
"No, why?"
"I left there last night, and you:
brother-in-law said he had just received
"a telegram from your wife saying tina

Governing Children.

Do not make many promises 20 your
children; but when made, keep them.
Do not notice every little fault and
teprove it. How would you like it your
self?
Cultivate courage and self-relianee in
children, so that whel older they will
not dread responsibilities.
Maintain a harmony of development
between the body and brain, so that
neither shall outgrow the other.
Be firm, yet gentle, when necessary,
and insist on obedience to all commands;
but never ask what is unreasonable OF
impossible.
Do not expect perfection. A child il
an undeveloped creature, beautiful as
budding rose, but it cannot do every
thing well, any more than its parents
can.
Children should not TOO frequently b'
ordered to do thus and SC. Whel
necessary they may, however, be com
handed. Ordering children about hurt
their self-respect. Commanding them
as a digniied officer does his army, cult
Yates it..
| Praise may and ought to be used o.
all proper occasions. The expression
"That is we'll DONE" is a tonic to tn
