A Pretty Good Prophet.

Four years ago Mr.. Cleveland, in ac-
ccptjng the nomination Of his party, ex-
pressed himself as positively opposed to
i second term. lIo used this very
strong language;
"When we consider the patronage Of
this great office ,he Presidency the al
larcments Of power, the temptation to
retain public place once gaiaed, and,
more than an, the availability party
finds in an incumbent whom a horde Of
Office holders. with zeal born Of beue-
its received, and fostered by the hope Of
fayors vet to come, stand ready to and
with money aad trained political service,
ne recognizs ia the eligibility Of the
President for recollection a most serious
dangu to that calm, deliberate and in
telligcut political action which must
cLaracterizea government BY the people.
Mr. Cleveland seems to have been !
gool deal OF a prophet. The state o
thngs Which he - accurately predlcte1
then has been fully realized. liz
-horle Of office holders with zeal born
IF benefit, received and fos,ered by ia
hope Of favors yet to come" have 70
some time been aiding with their none.
and their trained political service to Sc
cure his denomination Perhaps b
thought it was necessary to turn til
horde loose ia order to verify-bls words
The danger which lie predicted ha
come, aud that "calm, deliberate an
intelligent political action, which IS
characterize a government BY the people
will be impossible SO far as he and h
party are concerned. lie has been re
. nominated not as the deliberate and SCI
: Gus choice of his party, but because h
e horde Of Office holders have made |

Food and Morality.

Prof. F. T. Miles, of the faculty OF
tie University of Maryland, delivered
lecture to a large audience of young
men recently, on Food and Diges-
ton" In the course of his lecture
Prof. 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 king
in beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nobler
organs are longest nourished- In
starvation there is not simple hunger
of the stomach, but hunger of the
whole body. 1t is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they
will do strange things. Ic produces
insanity, and they have been driven to
ealing what has been called strange
hesh;' that is to cannibalism. There
are millions Of people who have not
enough to eat. 1t is at the bottom of
anarchy. The police may give them a
loaf of bread, but the whole body is ILL
nourished, and restless feeling re-
suits. Not much 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 go; lazy, because
the muscles are weak and nature tells
them to keep still when hungry.
You would be astonished to know how
much of the beauty of the fairest
women is made up Of fat. The GRIM
inal classes are ugly becauge they have
no fat How could a child whose mus
elss and nervous system have been
partly starved be expected to have all
the sympathies and instincts of high
er class of society? An everyday Sab
bath-school with breakfast before the
lesson would be a capital thing for
poor children. Some say the poor
themselves are to blame for their con-
dition by living too luxuriously. One
of the most intense cravings of tn,
Greely Arctic party was for sweet
meats. Tea and coffee do more good
than harm. They stimulate not only the
brain, but the activities of the whole
body. There will be a great mission
to the poor some day to see that they
get enough good food. Baltimore Sun.

PRACTICAL SAYINGS.
An Amusing Collection of Proverbs Fror
the Farce Islands.

An Amusing Collection OF Proverbs From
the Farce Islands.
Many of the proverbs have ring of
plagiarism about them, though this
may be attributable to the sameness Of
human nature throughout the earth.
But there are also others worthy of a
passing word. The man who has
lived always at home understands how
to behave in the world" might have
come from the mouth of Socrates HIM
self Again: "The wrong of one man
is never the gain of another;'' ''He
who ridicules another is himself ridic-
ulous;" Better working hand than
babbling tongue. This last appears
to be shaft aimed at the womenkind OF
Farce; but if so it falls short, for the
men are at least as fond of talking as
the women, and can hardly be said to
do more work. That snothing is so
bad as to be good for nothing well
indicates the happy disposition of the
islanders, while one inclined to cavil
at the reputation for honesty possessed
by them might point with triumph to
their own assertion that ''none
can take where nothing is.'' Gas
man gets older he gets
wealthy, stingy and cross" This
hardly applies to the Faroese,
for wealth is unattainable in the isles;
but no doubt the whole saying has re-
ceiyed partial confirmation even in
Farce. That ''it is good to live in one 5
country though it be poor" is prov
erb after the heart of the Faroese, who
gravitate back to Farce after wander
ing all over the world. Better to be
a good mans mistress than bad man s
wife" This a modern inhabitant Of
the isles repudiates. If little else has
changed in Farce such sentiment has
become obsolete. Two or three sound,
practical sayings of universal compre-
hension may end these samples of Fa-
roe wit and wisdom: 1T is not good to
marry without love" at is danger
Gus to tie a dog to butter tub" IAN
evil eye shall see no good.' Better
to leave little than eat too much. :"
ga little man has often large heart" :"
Few are like a father, none like q
mother" He who has much in his
mind will lose much from his mind. )"
Every one has superior When
sons marry the mothers lose them, but
when daughters marry the mothers
gain other sons" Nothing is so well
done buf that il were better undone -

part of the sausage. "-Gentleman's
