The Secret of Health,

A "inedical man" in a recent letter
to a. friend, after discussing q new
method OF treatment for diseases thus
closes his letter: ''The hand on the
wall every day points still more I'M
nista kabIy to those few hygienic re-
qulrtments which a great German
writer has called so simple that we re-
fuse to understand them" The three
rules OF health given by the great Boer-
have were: keep the head cool; keep
the feet warm; keep the bowels open"
One way OF keeping the head cool is
not to overwork the brain, and not
to work the brain when the stomach
Is occupied with it's appropriate work.
Another way to keep the head cool is
is not to worry Worry kills more
people than work does Another
way to keep the head cool is
to cover the feet properly and keep
them clean, dry and warm. Another
way TO keep the head cool is to let all
stimulating beverages alone. Men who
drink cold water and no other bever~
age rarely suffer from brain troubles
or from sunstroke. Early and long
sleep cools the brain and keeps it cool.
Proper diet will keep the bowels III Or
der. Those who live on plain, simple,
nutritious, varied and well-cooked
food, and take abundant exercise, rare.
ly suffer from any bowel trouble. A
great deal of our food is spoiled in the
cooking. AS much more is spoiled in
the eating, being forced in half mas
ticated state into the poor stomach,
which is compelled to do the work OF
the teeth and it's own work
as we'll. Let us 90 to the
COWS for lessons in chewing our food
and grinding it fine before committing
1t to the next process of digestion.
When the head is cool and the bowels
right, the feet will be warm, unless
they are maltreated by being cased in
shoes too tight or too thin or ill-fitting
or with high heels. Agreat many NAL
aides come from high heels. Thebody
was made to rest firmly On the heels,
but when these are lifted an inch out
OF place, the whole poise of the body
is changed and muscles fexed that
should be rigid, the weight of the body
is thrown forward toward the toes and
general arrangement of the muscles
follows. This little talk is intended to
answer the queries Of S.'H. who can
study out for himself how to keep the
three rules OF Boerhave..

Cheering the Starry Flag in
London.

The New York Star tells how par
ty OF Americans resented Kisses for our
flag at a theatre in London:
Jacob Seabold of the STRENGTHENING
department; who accompanied Fire
Commissioners Henry D. Purroy on
his recent European tour, took his
turn q few days ago at telling his ex-
perience abroad. One incident he
spoke OF showed just how Dixey's Eng
fish audience must have paralyzed his
first nights performance. On the
evening Of May rs Mr.. Seabold accom-
panied Commissioners Purroy to the
Alhambra theatre, London, where
what was advertised as an interesting
and instructive performance was
being produced. All ;, the nations
of the earth were represent
ed by a company OF soldiers
in uniform and flag Of the nation
| they represented. In vain the two
Americans looked for the stars and
stripes. The banner of freedom was
mot waved until the conclusion Of the
regular performance, and then q Girl
brought out q small American flag.
For an instant all was quiet, and then
Kisses were heard from every part OF
| the house. This was more than the
commissions and Mr.. Seabold could
stand, and they arose in their seats
| and proposed three cheers for Amer
lea and the flag Of the United States.

Nellie Grants Married Life,
From the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.

A relative OF the Grant family in
Washington is authority for the state.
ment that the married life of Nellie
Grant Sartoris is far more humiliating
and unpleasant than has yet been
made public, Mrs. Sartoris makes her
home with her husbands father, in the
north of England, and, according to
all accounts, she is treated as a sort OF
a poor relation. Two rooms are
set aside for the use of herself
and children, and their meals are
furnished, but nothing else is given
to them either by her husband or Mr..
Sartoris, Sr. So far, indeed, as the
youngest Sartoris is concerned, it is
said he has not contributed penny
to his wife's support for years.
1t IS g. well.known fact that for 8
couple Of years prior to Gen. Grants
death remittances Of money were regu-
larly sent to Nellie to provide herself
and children with clothing and other
useful articles, When the general be-
came Impoverished through the ras-
cality of Ferdinand Ward, the great
est regret he is said to have expressed
was that his poverty would prevent
him further assisting Nellie, who was
practically supported by his bounty.
All the members Of the Grant family
still contribute to the support Of Mrs.
Sartoris, and the children have urged
Mrs. Sartoris for years to separate
from her husband and return to Amer
lea. It is said that Mrs. Grant made
such q request only q few months ago,
alter learning Of some fresh indign:ty
on Sartoris' . part, but the daughter
replied that ssshe would not entertain
such i pro OPPOSITION q moment. and
added Indignantly that she would re-.

a PrOa Load of Pirates.
Tomas W. Knox in Chicago Times.

Tomas W. Knox in Chicago Times.
The voyage had been long and the
crew and passengers were English; they
had consumed literally of bottled
beer, and the empty bottles were ly-
ing in barrels in one OF the storerooms
attached to the cabin. "Bring up
the bottles and break them over the
deck,' said the missonary's wife
The captain "caught on" to the sugges-
ton, and very quickly the bottles
were scattered and smashed, so that
che deck was covered with broken
glass from the very farthest point of
the bows as far back as the entrance
to the poop-cabin. Everybody was
heavily booted for the occasion, and
therefore could walk around with little
danger. The Malays 90 '.'refooted
all their lives, and * glass
promised to make 81 serious inter-
ference with their locomotion. Some
pigs OF lead We're placed near the bows
tailed to pitch these missiles into the
proa when she came alongside, in the
hope OF smashing her frail bottom, and
having done so they were to run after
and join the rest OF the party of de-
tenders.
The pirates came on according to
their usual custom and swarmed over
the bows. Some OF the foremost were
brought down by the muskets in the
hands OF the briggs people, but a great
many more were ]eveled by the broken
glass. One of the pigs of lead was we'll
aimed and fell into the proa, smashing
a hole that kept her occupants busy
to save her from sinking. The pirates
crowded on board with great rapidity;
those behind pushed the foremost
ahead, and none OF them compre-
hended the new enemy until too late.
The broken glass cut their feet, and
they fell to the deck; and as they
writhed and twisted about in their
effort to rise they werelacel ated more
and more. Notone OF them got further
aft than amidship, and all the forward
part Of the deck was literally covered
with wounded Malays. In five min
utes it was plain to see that the assail-
ants had got the worst of it, and the
brlg's people would have things their
ownfway. The fire ofthe muskets was
directed to the leaking proat which was
thus compelled to retire to a safe dis.
