Food. Beauty and Morality.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Prof. +. Il. Miles, OF the University
OF Maryland, delivered lecture to a
large audience OF young men on Food
and Digestion" In the course OF his
lecture Professor Miles, in speaking OF
the effects Of an insufficient quantity
OF food, said: 1.-THE fat disappears
first, then the muscles waste away,
and finally the bones come through
the skin. The brain, the spinal cord
and the nerves are nourished to the
last. Like a king in a beleaguered city
TO whom his loyal subjects give up
their food, the nobler organs are long
est nourished. In starvation there is
not simple hunger OF the stomach, but
hunger OF the whole body. 1t is nos
strange that when hunger presses on
PEOPLE they will do strange things. 1t
producess insanity, and they have
been driven TO eating what has been
called Strange flesh" that is to can.
nibalism. There are millions OF peo.
Pile who have not enouyhto eat. it IS
at the bottom OF anarchy. The po-
lice may give them a loaf OF bread, but
the whole body is ill-nourisheu, and Is

can be done with the grown.
up people OF The criminal
classes, but the child criminal
comes first. The criminal classes are
called dirty, lazy and ugly OF course
they are. They are dirty because
they have no spare heat to let 20;
they are lazy because the muscles are
weak and nature tells them to keep
still when hungry. You would be as
'onishea to know how much OF the
beauty OF the itircst woman Is made
up OF lat. The criminal classes are
ugly because they have no fat. How

ihIes and instincts OF {. higher class of
society? An every day Sabbath school
with II breakfast before the lesson
would be IL capital thing for The poor
children. Some say the poor them
selves are to blamc;or their condition
by living too luxuriously. One OF tile
most intense cravings OF the Greedy
Arctic party WAS ior sweatmeuts.
Tea and coffee do more good than
harm. They stimulate not only the
brain, but the activities OF the whole
body. There will be u great mission

REVIEW OF HIS ILLNESS.
MI. Conkltng's illness fs supposed to have
been due originally to the exposure which
the ex-senator suffered during the blizzard of
March IL On that day he attempted to walk
from his Office, WALL street, to the New York
club on Madison square. He found himself
unable to proceed when he was In the middle
OF Union square, and had be not been res
cued by an officer, he would undoubtedly
have died that day. Several days after he
complained to friends in the Hoffman
house an6 elsewhere that he was
feeling unwell. lie continued ailing until
on Friday, April q, after he had been cx-
posed to severe draft in Judge Horace
Russcll's office ut reference the day before
bis illness came 20 point. Dr. Cornelius
Il. Agnew. who is now himself lying at
the point Of death, was called in to
attend the sick man, and. recognizing at
once the seriousness of tho case, called In
consultation Dr. Fordyce Barker and Dr.
Henry D. Sands Upon examination, those
physicians concluded that an abscess had
formed between the patients brain and skull
Immediately behind the left cur and had
involved the auditory canals on that side of
the head. The necessity Of an operation
was indicated by the symptoms, and on April
., ut p. in., DR.. Henry b. Sands performed
the operation of trepanning by tho modern
method, which has already been described.
Tue relief OF the pressure on the brain
caused an immediate improvement
in the patients condition. This con-
tinued for several days. during which the
ex-senator gradually developed de;rious
condition and was reduced to state
of weakness from n lack OF nourish-
ment, for he refused almost all food. To-
ward the end OF last week. his condition
was fuctuating from day to day, but
seemed to promise utimnte recovery.
Last Saturday night, DR. Barker noticed
with alarm. the appearance OF IN involun-
tary twltchiny of the muscles known us
subsaltus. On Sunday night nn attack Of
bronchitis began to show itself, and from
that time tho ex-senator has gradually
declined, although his condition improved
slightly at inteSvals During the whole
period of illness. Mrs. Conkling. who
came to the Hoffman Annex from Utica. on
Sunday, April 8, remained at the bedside
taking but a few hours rest. MrR Oak
