DIET OF THE AGED.
What an Authority Says ON the Subject.
A Popular Error.

What an Authority Says ON the Subject.
A Popular Error.
An authority Of no less weight than Sir
Henry Thompson declares, in recent hand
book, that considerably more than half Of
the disease which embitters life among the
middle and upper classes Of the population is
due to avoidable errors in diet And while
he tells us that with few exceptions men and
women are healthier and stronger in every
way without alcoholic drinks than with them
he does not hesitate to declare, at the same
time, that more mischief, in the form Of
active disease, impaired vigor, and shortened
life, arises from erroneous habits in eating
than from the occasional use Of alcoholic
drink, great as he knows the evil of it to be.
Sir Henry does not think it bad sign that
the appetite should diminish as age increases;
and he deprecates any attempts by stimu-
lants or tonics or concentrated foods to ssim-
prove" the appetite in such cases As we in
crease Tn age we put forth less energy and
activity, and as consequence we have less
power to eliminate excess of food. Tho
scientific view Of the case is simple enough
to be popularly comprehended. The over
supply Of nutrition must be thrown of or
absorbed into the system. With the young

exercise; but even in tender years it makes
its presence felt in occasional sickness. From
about middle life onward it is packed away
In the form of fat; and it may make its
presence known by interfering with the
action Of the liver, by rheumatic attacks and
obscure and troublesome diseases.
While condemning excess generally, Sir
Henry Thompson holds, with Cornaro, that
from middle life onward persons who would
have health and long life go together must
conform to nature and reduce the daily sup
ply Of food. When 10 is reached it is more
than ever necessary, he tells us, that this
should be done; and In the same way, at 80
with less activity, there must be less support.
II this course be followed, right good and
happy and even useful old age may be en-
Joyed; providing, Of course, there is no in
herited faint to be combated and accidents
do not come in the way. The difficulty in
such case is that man wants to be saved
from friends and relatives who are apt to re-
gard lessening appetite with alarm, and
seek by endearments, and when these fail by
threats and also by superstitious means, to
force the palate beyond its natural require
ments. Plain and frugal fare, then, would
seem to be the essential condition not only of
prolonged but of happy existence; and the
ancient maxim remains guiding principle
to the race, that "man must eat to live. not
live to eat."-Leeds Mercury.

The Tendency to Untruthfulnes,.

The Tendency to Untruthfulness.
But coming down to the detail of the thing,
there is no surer way to make child with
any tendency to untruthfulness cherish the
tendency than to let him know that you are
aware of the tendency, and to let him know
it, most of all, in any obnoxious way.
It is possible that with child with
whom you have established confiden-
tial intimacy, so that he considers you
more as his dear friend than as his cor
rector and overseer, you can let such knowl-
edge Of yours be known, and can become,
agreeably to him, a fellow watcher with him
self over the fault. But this Is not very
frequent possibility, since children's inti-
mates and conf1dants are liable to be Of the
same age with themselves, and It is rarely
that they do not look up with q little awe
and distance upon the person, whoever it
may be, that Is appointed to take care Of
their morals and behavior.
But there is one course that can always be
pursued, and that is never to let the child
for a moment dream that you suspect him
Of the wrong doing or saying. Unless it
should be absolutely necessary, for some rea-
son better known to yourself, that you should
betray your knowledge, keep it to yourself
and maintain your watchfulness, but let the
child hope that you consider his standard Of
truthfulness to be as high as any in the
world You can do 1t without either deceit
or untruthfulness on your own partif you
look to it with care and are precise in your
statement as to what the child ought to be
rather than as to what he ia.
Once given reputation to live up to, q
character to maintain, and the childs pride
comes to tho rescue, his sense Of honor is cul-
tivated to the point Of giving birth to truth
fulness, and thenceforward noblesse oblige,
until at last he seizes on the real beauty and
value Of truth, upon which truth itself
obliges. And on the other hand, If you would
make the little liar a big liar and eternally
q liar, then constantly confront him with the
fact that he is q liar already. He will have
small motive for telling the truth, since all
the world believes and knows that he is Q
liar; he sees that he would not be credited IL
he told the truth; he viii not have the nams

Unconscious Cruelty to Children.

Some loving mothers are very cruel to
little girls. I remember an excellent lady,
whose children attended the same school I
went to, who made their lives miserable bv
tacking arcslnd the skirts of every white
dress they wore curiously beautiful piece of
embroidery. The thing in itself was charm
ing, but in that year little girls dress was
plainly hemmed or tucked The other chill
dren laughed at the trimming they could not
appreciate, the victims wept. The mother
kept on the even tenor of her way, and regu-
larly did up the trimming when it was
soiled.
The picturesque, the odd, the grotesque,
has been fashionable now for years, but the
formal was then the order of the day. View
ing the distress of my friends, I then and
there resolved that if chad children when
was grown up and married." they should
never be tormented by whim of nine The
world Of small people is less tolerant than
that OF "grown ups"
have seen "queer'' lunch basket. a
caprice in the cut of an apron, a set of furs
not approved of by schoolmates, torture a
child's soul; and when schoolgirl or school,
boy wants something because the others
have it, {" provide it if you can.
A sense Of being different from others. pe-
culiar, an object Of ridicule, breaks a ohilds
spirit, and it does not matter that it ought to
know that what you have given it is some
thing superior, if it does not.
1knew woman vino told me that she al
most hated her mother because she would
cut her hair short, like boys, at a time
when all the other children wore a long
braid tied with ribbon, unless they were
fortunate enough to possess 'ringlets."-

The "old Babx,s. Grief.


What a curious thing it is to think that
that wonderful new baby will turn into a
commonplace old baby in a year or two-that
with the advent of number two his reign is
over.
A little girl, though she is only Q years
old, takes an interest in that new baby, feels
that she must help take care of it, goes about
materially airing its garments and holding
the pincushion for nurse, delights in its baths
and boasts about her baby brother before she
can talk plain. But the boy-that is another
matter. He scowls when that wrinkled
piece of humanity is presented to him, and
refsses to kiss it, He wants none of it. Why
she' d it have his place on mammals shoul-
dera Why should he be told to go awaya He
thinks as i'll of it as his limited knowledge of
mundane affairs will permit him to think of
anything. He has been known to request that
it might be ''frowed away" and to call it
"nassy sing;;" and, indeed, his trials are very
great Life has altered signally for him.
He feels it to his hearts core, if he is made of
sensitive stuff.
It is all very well for Bridget to take him
into the kitchen and tell him to t'be nice
lad, an she'll make him cake" He wants
his mother; he never was turned out of
mothers room before. His heart is full.
Well for him, at this time, If he has grand
mother ready to make him her idol, q little
Jealous for him as the first born Then, indeed,
his ways shortly become the ways of pleasant
ness, and life assumes q holiday, cake, candy,
gingerbread and toy aspect. But in any
event that old baby has very unhappy
day or two before it, a season when knowl-
edge Of the bitterness Of life comes to him
prematurely, and he understands the feelings

Should Consult rheir P.rent.,

Should Consult Their Parents.
One Is often tempted to smile ct some Of
the questions relating to etiquette, asked
through the columns of the press by young
men and women. The answers are 60 obvi-
ous-to persons Of more mature age and ex.
perfence-that one cannot help wondering
why these young people do not consult their
parents, for, making due allowance for the
case OF orphans, many Of those who seek in
formation in this way must possess fathers
and mothers. Alasl it has probably never
occurred to these young persons that they
should consult their parents in kindred mat
ters; and viewed in this light, the subject
becomes both sad and serious one
The fathers and mothers Of our dav are
certainly to blame for this state Of things:
they have, in many cases, allowed their
children to grow up much like unbroken
colts, in the matter Of social discipline and
restraint, and when they at last begin to see
for themselves the necessity Of finding out
and obeying social laws, they turn away
from their parents to seek other sources Of
information, because they have never been
taught to take counsel of their natural
guardians
Many mothers seem to think that II thew

vide their children with clothing and nav
their school bills, they have done all that
can be required Of them. Others, again.
forget that what is so familiar to them is
unknown ground to their children, and the
latter are only too willing to assume control
Of all their own actions, till, by and by, some
blunder causes them pain and modification,
and they perceive that the world polite, like
every other world, has laws which cannot
be violated with impunity.
In nine cases out of ten the best rule is to
task mother" She may not always be able
to tell her daughter the newest ''fad, !" but
newest fads are not always desirable-are
followed often by a certain fast set only.
Mother can almost always tell about the old
ways, and one should know about these first.
just as a lawyer must read Blackstone and
Coke before he can understand modern stat
ute law.-Florence Howe Hall in Demorest's
MONTHLY.

Use of a Clothes Tree,

A clothes tree, as you may know, is stiff
affair, looking very much like the trunk Of q
tree with several short, bare branches left at
the top. If you have one Of these convenient
articles in each bed room the masculine men,
bers of your household may be induced to use
the pegs instead of hanging up their clothes
on the floor. A walnut or cherry clothes tree
is just the thing for small hall where an or
dinary hatrack would be in the way.-Home.

A good, simple and harmless way is said to
be the saturating Of the wart with lemon

and proved very unreliable. Capt. Elicit
then hired negroes, and they have just been

to raise fuss, and an outbreak was looked
for on Wednesday night. From the best
information, it seems that there was no big
riot. The whites attacked a small body OF
negro laborers, who ran, but not until one
of them had thrown rock, which struck
white man in the forehead and hurt him 10
some extent. There may be further trouble.
The Augusta correspondent Of the Mil

"A few hours ago while coming down

Ito him very strange garb. As | APP
preached recognized him as a friend OF
the long ago. He was once man of
wealth and culture. Thousands of acres
and hundreds OF slaves were his, and his
family lived in ease and luxury. The
fleecy staple was to him like mint coming
its gold aud its silver by the thousands.
His house was palace, and his grounds APP
peared like enchanted lands. His home
was a perfect Eden. To-day he walks the
streets of Augusta in the uniform of po-
liceman, and supports his family on the
sun Of $50 per month. And yet he does
net murmur, but is thankful to his God that
his lot is no worse than it is. And all this
led me to think of the wonderful changes
wrought by the hand of time.

bones of those that laid the foundation Of
