There was a sight in the rotunda of the
Merchants yesterday that attracted the at
tention of every one who passed through.
A man sat in a chair near the stove con-
tentedly smoking a cigaret. Occupying q
chair near him was child whose curly
head hardly reached as high as the
back of the chair in which he sat- There
was nothing unusually striking about the
child except the cigaret that he pulled at
with about the same air of indifference and
cOntentment, with which his father pulled
at his own paper wrapped weed. 'How
old is the child?" asked reporter
"A little over three years." was the re-
ply.
Has he been a smoker lOng?"
about year," and the man and boy
went on filling the air with smoke as though
they had been born with cigaret i'm theiI
mouth.

Not Good Policy to Experiment Much ii
Dieting-A Sensible Rule.


Not Good Policy to Experiment Much in
Dieting-A Sensible Rule.
The late DR.. bio Lewis wrote several
books on dieting which some people read
as they would the gospel truth, following
the exacting rules with fidelity and
precision worthy of better cause. DIR.
Lewis was no doubt the cause of very
large mortality among his fellow men,
for he laid down rules which were but
marching orders for the grave in many
cases; and yet he had more than an ordi-
narily large following as a dietist.
There is a vast amount of downright
folly IN the operation called dieting.
especially when it is under the direction
of another. 4 few years ago some die
tistic crank gave out that oatmeal was
the secret of long life and good digestion,
and the demand for the article became
enormous. OF late it has been discovered
that oatmeal is a positive injury to a
large number of people. DIR. McCosh is
often quoted as a sample of the benef-
cent effects of oatmeal eating, but the
learned doctor does not live altogether
upon the article, and he has, besides, a
naturally strong and rugged Scottish
constitution.
1t will not do to experiment much in
dieting, nor to take anybody's word
about any system Of food. Human
stomachs differ as human faces differ.
Some of them can endure any amount of
| imposition. Some of them are as sensi-
tive as an electrical alarm sounded by
rising temperature. a child may fill its
stomach with deadly green apples and
escape without remote touch of pain,
while an adult eating the same danger
Gus stuff would be laid in his coffin in a
few hours. Nothing so tends to produce
chronic melancholy as the continual
contemplation of ones stomach. Some
persons make themselves positively mis-
cradle by worrying about the food they
eat. They deprive themselves of the very
food which nature calls for, to follow the
directions of some cranky person, who
takes perfect delight in counseling peo-
pie to live on bread and water or cracked
wheat, and to abstain from every article
which has pleasant flavor and which
makes one feel good.
| There is only one sensible rule to fol-
low about eating. Each person is the
| Judge Of his own stomach, and that
which he has discovered to be injurious
| to himself he should avoid. This is the
best system of dieting IN the world II
requires simply resolution and deternin-
alton. The man or woman who con
tinues TO feed upon that which injuries
deserves to suffer. Nature has placed
her own danger signals in our stomachs,
and we viii be perfectly safe if we heed
them. But nature has no part or loi
with the modern starvation dietist.-

Crime Amonp Bows ana Girls.

French statistics just published con-
tain alarming information concerning
the increase of crime among children Of
both sexes. The demoralization of the
young idea has evidently reached point
in France which demands the serious at
tention of all interested in the future
welfare of the country. The number OF
offenders under 16 years of age has aug
mented from 2,235 to J,579 for boys. and
from 418 to 90S for girls. From IS to q
years Of age the number of criminals ha:
increased from 5, 936 to 20, 4s9 for boys
and from 1. 046 to 2, $50 for girls. The
ratio of crime among offenders under
age has therefore considerably more thar
doubled during the past five years. The
statistics register for the first time nu
merous cases of suicide committed by
children. New York Sun.

Neat Replies.

Andrew jackson, il is related, was at
one time entertained at dinner by q
gentleman. and among those present
was one of those people who often find
their way into story books, etc, as the
type of that offensive class of Ameri-
cans who are always trailing their ma
tionality in the dust in the effort to ex-
alt their individual independence. This
particular gentleman, over the wine
and walnuts after dinner, in order to
emphasize his own independence of dis
position, of which he was loudly boast
ful, remarked with rare exhibition OF
self-complacence to Gen. jackson.
Il always vote against you, sir. -
The company was naturally rendered
speechless by this unexpected disclosure,
and the scene actually looked squally
but Gen. Jackson put a stopper on the
boastful individual and avoided further
trouble by smilingly remarklng:
''And |, sir, have always fought the
battles of my country that you might
enjoy that privilege"
Another instance of a happy response
is that of an old southern judge-buf
whether judge by courtesy or in fact, thC
writer can not state-who must have
had the faculty of quick and appropri
ate reply pretty well developed, if tbs
story related of him is true. He has
been fierce secessionist, and the fac
was not forgotten when, after the war
he re-entered the political arena of hi
native state. Speaking at certain

in the audience, who evidently had ;
good memory, inquired:
Didn't you speak here just befor

Il did, promptly responded th'

As Mr.. Colyar truly says, city govern
ment is a trust of q purely business
character, and the sooner this truth Is
generally perceived, the sooner city gov
ernment everywhere viii become more
honest, economical, and efficient. Moth
ing could illustrate more plainly the
comical confusion of the party mind
upon this subject than the recent attempt
TO make the election of Mayor of New
York turn upon the question of protec-
tiOn-an attempt which ended when all
the candidates were found TO be in
different degrees revenue reformers. To
argue that free-trade candidate for the
Mayoraity should be opposed by pro
tectionist Is as wise as 10 hold that If
one candidate for a Greek professorship
has no ear for music, he ought to be
opposed by another candidate who Is
cOlor-blind. What is wanted in Greek
professor is a thorough knowledge of
the language, a gift for teaching, and
urbane manners. If the question were
of a candidate for Congress, his Objec-
tion TO a heavy tax upon the raw mate
rial of manufactures would be legiti-
mate reason for the opposition of those
who approve such taxes. But the Mayor
Of New York has no more to do with
regulating the tariff than with cleaning
the Bunker Hiil Monument. What is
wanted in the Mayoralty is great expert
ence, sound judgment, knowledge of
municipal affairs, administrative ability,
inhexible honesty, and courage.

More Stories of Ludwig.

! have recently been shown a very
curious document namely, an anony-
nous pamphlet relative TO the late king
of Bavaria, published in Germany and
bearing the title. .Aiussta es so Kom-
men?' (Had it To Be?). writes a Paris
correspondent of the Philadelphia Iele-
graph The sale and circulation of this
little work are prohibited in Bavaria,
and with reason. Apparently written
by someone who was behind the scenes
of the royal tragedy, it gives by no
means a favorable account of the men
tai condition for years past of the un-
happy king Ia fact, the author fixes
the year 1870 as the date at which his
faculties first began to 20 astray. Much
space is taken up with the history of his
Wagnerian infatuation, and with that
of his passion for building and for
theatrical representations at which be
was the only spectator. ali of which has
already been published But some of
the anecdotes are new, and are suffi-
ciently interesting to merit translating.
Among these is a full account of the
famous lake constructed on the roof of
the roval palace at Munich on which
the royal Lohengrin used to 20 sailing
in a gilded bark drawn by swans. The
water in the tank proved too transpar-
ent, and the king wanted it to be blue.
One of his suite conceived the idea OF
putting into il an enormous quantity of
vitriol. The water was changed to a
dark, deep, and most magnificent blue
but the salts of copper soon corroded
the metal OF the tank, several leaks
were formed. and the water made its
way through the roof of the palace and
inundated the royal apartments. The
damage was replaced at great expense,
and an apparatus was put up for she'd
ding an azure tint upon the lake by
means of colored glasses. Then the
surface of the tank was too smooth,
and King Louis wanted some waves.
So another machine was constructed
which impaired by means of a wheel,
q beautiful ripple on the surface of the
water. But the waves proved too small
and weak to suit the royal navigator,
so the size and power of the wheel were
augmented. Then the waves became
too strong, they upset the royal bark,
and Lohengrin got a good ducklng.
Now, as no mention can be found in
the legend Of the swan knight of his
ever having fallen into the water, his
kingly representative gave up his pas
time of sailing about on the palace
roof Then he took it into his head to
try to fly, and used to be carried about
in a sort of car. attached to the top of
long poles, by means of which he was
transported from place to place by
lackeys, who wore felt shoes so that
their steps might be noiseless and the
illusion complete. Once he caused a
regular fiying-machine to be construct
ed for his own use But having that
day. as our author says, method in his
madness" he gave orders that a luck
less peasant should make trial of il
before he attempted to use it. The poor
fellow did so, and was killed on the
spot.

INSANITY and Checkers.

1t is amusing to see the serious ear
nestness, zeal, and firm stick-to-it-ive-
ness with which b. and r. sit in the
alcove and play draughts for hours, and
for winnance, too. Each has for a
stake piece Of tobacco about the size
of your middle finger, which they lay
down beside the board, when the con-
test begins with as much gravity as II
their ali were at stake. Each stops and
hesitates over . move as long and de-
liberately as if the fate of empires hung
upon it, but at last b. wins and takes
down one piece and R. puts up another.
The same staid and serious conflict be-
gins again, and after perhaps an hour
of hard work, deep thought and care
full moving, r. wins and b. has to put
