CAGO LECTURES ON HYGIENE.

CAGO LEG URES ON HfGltNe.
Long Johns Lease of Life" Eat
when You're Hungry. Drink When Your
Thirsty, Sleep when sIeepy"-A Brief
Discourse on Drinks-Baths.
The Hon John Wentworth sat at the
corner of pretty little table slipping
Rhine wine and listening To the chatter oi
the fair DANES and damsels arranged
about him Mr.. Wentworth prides him
self ON longevity, and when treckle
faced maiden in red bodice asked hlm
how he managed to live young so long,
the ex mayor rubbed his long, beautiful
hands together, threw his shoulders back,
and replied:
Well, it's continued story. Many
cantos "a it as there are to 'Childe Harold
But the final is, amt going to get old
while ] live, and I'm not going to stop
living This world is a pretty nice sort OF
a place Ii suits me; | like II, and We
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 living
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 tit your
cases, know, for you women folks aren I
like anything else on earth" Without
needing the obs" OF eXpOstulation and
remUnstrance, Mr. Wentworth delivered
the following little lecture on hygiene.
which was made the subject of cOnVersa-
tion for whole hour of the reception.
MEALS WHEN YOU WANT THEM.
He said: Il never was one of your bell
| livers never did and never will live on
time. Got no use for all-bells, dinner
! hrlls, or alarm clocks, and believe they
ID, 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 10 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 90 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 | am
! ready Sometimes at =, sometimes at ;,
| sometimes don't get up at all. Then |
have my breakfast If want it. If my sp
petite don't get round, | don't have any.
What's the Use eating if I'm not hungry,
| know | can have it; its there; but if
don't need it, why don't go down, that's
all. Eat, oh any thing feel like. Eggs,
flsh, chop or SO, potatoes, toast, fruit, tea
and buckwheat cakes.

WINE
BRIEF plscot RISE ON DRINKS
For the benefit of the W. c. 7. L. ele
ment the ex mayor explained that he used
to entertain quite fancy for whisky, but
the stuff was too powerful and he cut
loose After | gave up whisky took to
champagne, and, by gracious how l did
like To drink the Stutf, though, But the
doctor told me | was getting kidney
trouble, and had to give up that pleas
ure: and ever since ] 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 10 be
either"
NO, young women, wine is not neces-
sity to any one. could have just as good
health without il; but | don't take any
other kind OF stlmulant but tea-and you
know a fellow has to have some bad habits
about him. and tea is as sinleSs rs butter
milk Water Yes, gallons of il; but not
this lake -Waukesha; have it deliv-
cred at my room every week, and drink
two or three gallons day.
