The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried weight
of armor and luggage that would crush
the average farm hand, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They
were temperate In diet, regular and
constant in exercise. The Spanish pea
SAINT works every day and dances half
the night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only little fruit and some
olives. He eats no beef, pork or NUT
ton, yet he walks off with his load Of
500 pounds. The coolie. fed on rice, is
more active and can endure more than
the negro fed on fat meat. The heavy
work of the world is not done by men
who eat the greatest quantity. The
fastest or longest-winded horse is not
the biggest eater. Moderation in diet
seems to be the prerequisite for endur-
ance.

The Hydrophohia Craze.

The popular alarm about hydropho-
bia has become an absolute craze. and
it is evident to those who retain their
judgment that the proceedings of NJ.
Pasteur in relation to the matter are IN
no way calculated TO bring about a
common-sense reaction. To talk. as
NJ. Pasteur does. abou. curing these
is utterly and amazingly nnscientiiic.
Seeing that there is no proof of the cx-
istence of hydrophobia in the dogs
that bit the patients, il must be impos-
sible to demonstrate from any treat
ment of them the efficiency of the said
treatment. Moreover. as according to
experience and the best authorities the
incubating period of the hydrophobia
virus may last several years. it is clear
~ absurd to argue from the present
absence of symptoms that cures have
been affected. Nothing more slovcn-
IL or less in accord with scientific
methods than Professor Pasteur's
course in this regard can be imagined.

called upon to marry an out-of-town
couple at the guild house. In the
course of the Episcopal service the
bridegroom is required to use the ex-
preston plight my troth." The hus-
band expectant followed the good rec
tor of St. Paul's through the service
without hesitation until these words
were reached, when he sharply inHuir-
ed:
"What's that?'
Dr.. Brown was somewhat nonplussed
by the unexpected question, but, adapt
ing himself to the exigency, explained
that troth means fcalty or fidelity.
''Oh, WE'LL" said the cautious candi-
date for conjugal honors, IF that's all,

Ears, Hair ana Teeth.

Beautiful ears are small, delicate and
compact, of q shell-like shape. and
when SO are thought to be indicative of
high birth; they should never be
weighed down and dragged out of
shape by heavy barbaric jewely; if ear
rings must be worn, they should be
light, so as not to distort the ear. Tho
jaw should be small and delicate. II
the cheek is dimpled, SO much the
more charm of youth it will possess.
The chin, according to the Greek ideal,
should gently undulate in its outlint
and lose its shape gradually and limos
inscnsibly in the fullaess of the neck.
The nose is pretty much matter Of
taste, but it will be generally found
that like the case of tho hair, nature
supplied the article that best suited the
other features. Concerning tho hair il
is necessary to say that the use of dyes
and restoratives is denounced by all
who are in any way posted on TIE SUBJ
ject. One maxim which Frances
Smith lays DOWNS: Never pull gray
hair; because another one. sitter,
shorter, and with more obtrusive
habit of standing erect, will take its
place. She says in regard to the dc.
cay of the hair color that prevention is
better than cure, and that color and
abundance of tresses may be preserved
by keeping the head cool and clean.
To effect this the hair must be taken
down and well brushed at night with a
soft brush, parting it about to clean
and cool it; and then it should be
plated and suffered to hang about the
shoulders all night. In the morning
the roots should be well washed with
| rose water, or cold soft water or rain
water, the last being the best; then it
must be dried before it is dressed, by
rubbing gently and shaking out, or
brushing with soft brush.
Good teeth are essential attributes OF
beauty, and how to brush them is q
subject worthy of discussion. The au.

may be used, but all are warned against
mouth washes and liquid preparations

How Pat Converted His Feliow.Convicts.
Yesterday it was the good fortune of
a reporter Of this paper to meet a
priest who is frequently called to the
Charity Hospital. and who has accom-
plished much good in reforming TIE
the unfortunate people SO often found
in that institution. During the CONVEX
sation the reverend father told numer-
Gus amusing anecdotes of his personal
experiences, and wound up . very
pleasing evening by telling very fun
ny story about priest in Ireland who
was lsborlng to get number of con-
victs to join the Catholic Church. It
seems that seven men were sentenced
to be transported, and among them
was an lrishman convicted of counter
feiting. According to the custom of
the country the convicts were allowed
to choose any religion they desired to
adopt, and the Irishman made up his
mind that they should all become
Catholics. Accordingly when they
assembled in the prison yard the sub
ject of religion was brought up by the
Irishman, who said: boys, we have
all been bad together, we have made
lots Of money and spent it, aud now
since we all have to join tho church
there is no reason why wo should be
separated. now propose we toss a
a'penny and shape our course on the
result. II a harp comes up we will be
Catholics, and if = queen shows on tol
we will be Protestants.

Pat tossed the ha'penny and tho harp

Accordingly they all became Cath
olics; and just before their departure
the parish priest approached Pat anc
asked how he managed to convert hi

replied Pat, and then he told the story
of the ha'penny.

the priest in holy horror.

Corsets.

COr80t0.
"Corsets have been the bane of
Americas figures. The models for
sculptors and painters in Italy are
never allowed to wear corsets for fear
Of spelling the figure, This fact speaks
volumes in explanation OF the defects
Of American shapes. Happily, fashion
has introduced the short Erenc!: corset
and our women have escaped. il they
please, from the iron cages in which
their grandmothcrs lived-tbc high,
long. stiff STAYS straight and un-
shapely and prccludcd every shadow
Of grace. Ii the future generation
were never to wear cOrsets ut all, we
might hope tor a general improvement
in the race, but this, at present, seems
consummatlon only TO be hoped for.
Next to perfection of figure, grace OF
carriage is desirable. A gait, easy, I'M
dnlating and vigorous Is an accom-
plishmcnt which no pretty woman can
dispense with; this is impossible unless
the feet and ankles arc allowed the ut
most liberty of motion. Tight dresses
and narrow shoes with high heels will
ruin any woman's walk. To attain
grace in walking the movement must
be from the hips; it will not then shake
the garment. Mrs. Langtry walked
with this motion. and most English la
dies acquire and possess it. Its effect
is that the waist is still, except for that
gentle, willowy, swaying motion which
accompanies the movements Of the
most graceful figures. One of the best
modes of attaining u walk from the
hip is to practise walking with some
thing poised on the head. The grace
full Hindoo girl can bear \ pitcher up
on her head, unsupported BY the hand
simply because shemovcs from the hip
instead If from the waist-a mode of
walking which the necessity Of pitcher,
carrying probably originally induced.

Utilizing Old Stockings.

A notable housekeeper says that
stockings that have served their pur-
pose and are not serviceablo for poor
persons, are useful for ironholdcrs.
They should be cut down the seam and

The edges should be firmly overcast
with strong linen thread. Slip covers
for ironholders are admirable. They
may be made of stout gray linen 10
