The new North-west. [volume] (Deer Lodge, Mont.) 1869-1897, 1886-06-25

The Hon. John Wentworth sat at The
corner of pretty little table slipping
Rhine wine and listening to the chatter ot
the fair DANES and dannsels arranged
about him, Mr.. Wentworth prides him
self on longevity, and when n frecke-
faced maiden in red bodice asked hin
show he managed to live young so lonan
the mayor rubbed his long, beautiful
hands together, threw his shoulders baeas.
and replied:
"Well, it's continued story. Many
cantos to it as there are to 'Childe Harold.
But the final is, l amt going to get odd
while | live, and I'm not going to stop
living. This world is a pretty nice sort of
place 1t suits me; like it, and Eve
made up my mind to stay here. People
have no business being ill; needn't be, if
they only live right"
"Do tell us what you mean by li7ing
right?" was the next question, that came
from the group in concert.
"Ah, now you've got me. Well, I'll tell
you how manage, but it won't fit your
cases, know, for you women folks aren't
like anything else on earth" Without
needing the "ohs!" of expostulation and
remonstrance Mr.. Wentworth delivered
the following little lecture ON hygiene,
which was made the subject of converse
tion for whole hour Of the reception
MEALS WHEN YOU WANT THEM.
He said II never was one of your bell
ivers. never did and 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 intemperance. 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 my meals as some people
are I'd been dead years ago. No, ladies
the way you want to do, if 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"
Il get up in the morning when I am
ready, Sometimes at 6, sometimes at 8,
sometimes don't get up at ALL Then /
have my breakfast if want it. If my ap-
petite don't get round, I don't have any.
What's the use eating if I'm not hungry?
know l can have it; its there; but il I
don't need it, why don't go down, that's
all. Eat? oh any thing feel like. Eggs,
fish, chop or SO, potatoes, toast, fruit, tea
and buckwheat cakes"
mo coffee? nor biscuits?n was asked in
chorus.
mo coffee. Coffee makes you yellow,
and [ don't want to be taken for Mon
golian. Don't eat biscuits, cause they're
always hot, and don't like hot bread"
"But buckwheat is the worst kind of diet
for careful liver" came from willowy
creature.

@For dinners"
Dinner when I'm ready, and that is
when my appetite is sharp as yonder
dudes nose. No, don't worry me bit
when noon comes and l see the people
rushing pell-mell into restaurants and
lunch-shops. | dine when | get hungry,
and as Pm a working man have no time
to waste thinking about it. Perhaps I
dine at 2 or or not until or g. and when
l do have what's good-soup, fish, roast
or stew, plenty of vegetables. bread, rice,
bread pudding or such, for don't lean
heavily on pie and dumplings, and Rhin&
wine"
BRIEF DISCOURSE ON DRINKS.
For the benefit of the w. C. T. U. ele-
ment the ex-mayor explained that he used
to entertain quite a fancy for whisky, but
the stuff was too powerful and he cut
loose. "After gave up whisky took to
champagne, and by gracious! how did
like to drink the stuff, though! But the

trouble, and had to give up that pleas
ure; and ever since I have been drinking
this clear Rhine wine. 1t don't do any
hurt, and feel first rate. No; never drink
beer. It's nasty stuff; makes you soggy
and fat and lazy, and | don't want to be
either"
mo, young women, wine is not a neces-
sity to any one. | could have just as good
health without it, but 1 don't take any
other kind of stinulant but tea-and you
know fellow has to have some bad habits
about him, and tea is as sinless as butter
milk. Water? Yes, gallons of it; but not
this lake stuff-Waukesha have it deliv-
cred at my room every week, and drink
two or three gallons day."
Supper? Well, I'm net maniac on
suppers. If have late dinner 1 don't

regale on tea, salad of fricasse, toast,
sauce and bit of cheese"
To myriad OF inquiries Mr.. Wentworth
said that hotel life Is thu best calculated to
bring out the individualities of a man as
there and only there is liberty hall to be
found. "In private home man is subor-
ilinate to the whims and foibles of cook
and housemaid, but where live I am
ruler of my own destiny and If there is
any falling in line the house does 1t, not I.
For instance, you people have to eat your
meals when they are ready or go without,
while my meals are ready when / order
them. If foolishly go to bed before am
sleepy just get up again, turn on the gas,
ring for paper or new publication and
read till get tired. Fancy your husband
humoring himself in that luxurious fash
on."
Touching the subject of baths, he said
he took wash when he needed it, but
iidn't believe in soaking and steaming his
life out on a marble slab as fashionables
,f the present day were doing Inter
Ocean.
