Probably much of the improved phys
ique which is so generally recognized
among Americans is due to the increased
habit of dining late. For men of the
above classes an early dinner means a
hurried dinner. while a late one is a
leisurely one. l know men in good cir
cumstances who for years took what was
regarded as a regular meal down town"
Mt / O'Clock or so, and never allowed
more than fifteen minutes for it; and
those same men now dine at home, after
the days work is over, and give an hour
or more to the process.
OF course, this assumed difference may
be pressed too far, and remember being
checked in this argument by that most
dignified of women, the late Mrs. George
Ticknor, of Boston She heard me
through, but said calmly: II do not agree
with you that the hour Of the day has
anything to do with it. / kept house
for a great many years. and had many
dinner parties at 2 o'clock. There never
was any undue haste at my. table" l
should think not. indeed! But Mrs.. Tick
nor wal the last of her generation-the

Citations Of the evening to secure for her
guests the due decorum and repose.-T.

Mr.. Dean tells some interesting facts
about his silk o He says that one
ounce of eggs will produce 40, 900 worms.
One hundred worms when first Matched
will weigh one grain. When they have
been properly fed for from t~wenty-eight
to thirty-one days and are ready for spin
ming their cocoons, these same 100 worms
will weigh $500 grains. That rapid &C
cession of weight is, of course, surpris-
ing but, then, everything about the silk
worm is more or less surprising when he
is carefully studied. His very power of
spinning out of himself a filament from
$50 yards in length if he has been starved
to as much as a mile and a half, or per
haps two miles if he is in extra good con-
dition, and the industry with which he
patiently revolves his head around him
300, 900 or more times in forming that
filament into a COO may well be won
dered at. During the fifth stage OF
growth, say in the last seven or eight
days before commencing to spin, the
worms are ravenously hungry. They eat
day and night if they have anything to
eat. If starved for a few hours at that
time and then supplied with fresh leaves
they are very liable to eat 8 greedily as
to burst themselves, and the silk material
that is in them in a fluid form runs out
in color exactly like the silk flament.-

A very u~nfavorabie cou of the
sanitary condition Of the isthmus Of
Panama is given by a French physician,
DR.. A. Nicolas, who was sen out from
Paris to study the climate which pre-
walls along the route of the inter-oceanic
canal. There are many hotter parts of
the world, but few. if any which are
more ~unhealthful. The atmosphere is
saturated with moisture, particularly in
the day time; heavy mists prevent free
radiation, and the local influences at the
towns Of Panama and Colon are especially
pernicious to health. The climate of the
isthmus produces an e~nervation which
we are told lis characterized by loss OF
memory, persistent s~leeplessness, and
peculiarly passive and profuse perspira-
tion." 1t is evident that the great canal
must COS thousands of lives as well as
millions Of dollars. -Chicago Herald.

A tarantula's nest is owned by a citi-
zen of Rome, Ga, who found it while
travelling through Nevada. Its exterior
is earth, and at the first glance it has the
appearance on the outside of n potato,
being about four inches long and an inch
in diameter. The tarantula, which is a
species of spider, makes this nest by
scooping a pit in some dry, uncultivated
soil, and spinning a sort OF web around
the inside. The web is very closely spun
and forms a coating perhaps an eighth Of
an inch in thickness. The entrance to
the pit is protected by a round corner or
door. which is fastened to one side by a
hinge or spider-web. The tarantula sits
neal the entrance to his nest watching
for prey. which he carries, when cap
tured, into the pit to be devoured.-Ch

The weight Of the male infant at birth

male y not quite 8 1-2 pounds. The
maximum weight GAO IL pounds) of the
male i attained at the age Of 40; that Of
the female (nearly 1874 pounds is not at
tanned until 80; from which ages they
decline afterward; the male to 1877 IL
pounds, nearly . stone. The full-grown
adult is twenty times as heavy a. . new
born infant In the first year he triples
his weight, afterward the growth pro-
ceeds In geometrical progression. &c that
II fifty infants in their first year weigh
1000 pounds, they will in the second
weigh 1910 pounds, in the third 1880
pounds. in the fourth 1,4A pounds,
remaining very constant up to the
ages Of 11-12 in females, and 1918 in
males, where 1t must be nearly doubled;
aftsrward it may be continued. and will
be very nearly correct up to the ages of
IS or 10, when the growth proceeds very
slowly.
At an equality Of age the male is gen.
orally heavier than the female. Towards
the age Of 12 years only an individual of
each sex has the same weight. The male
attains the maximum weight about the
& of 40, and he begins to lose 1t very
sensibly towards 90. At 80 lie loses about
IS. 1898 pounds; and the stature is dimin-

old age they lose about 12 or IA pounds.
Men weigh most at 40, women at 80, and
begin to lose at go. The mean weight of
both sexes in old age is that which they
had at 10.
When the male and female have as
sumed their complete development, they
weigh almost exactly twenty times as
much as at birth, while the stature is
about 8 liz times greater.
Children lose weight during the first
three days after birth; at the g of a
week they sensibly increase; after one
year they triple their weight; then they
require six years to double their weight,
and thirteen to q%uadruple 1t.
About the age of SO the lean man
usually becomes fat, and the fat man
becomes leaner. Again between the
years of 43 and 80 his appetite fails, his
complexion fades, and his tongue is apt
to become furred upon the least exertion
of body and mind. At his period his
muscles become fiabby, his joints weak,
his spirits droop, and his sleep is imper-

under these complaints a rear, or per-
