Stoutness is not only unhandsome and
inconvenient, but unsafe. 1t clogs the
organs, gives the heart more work to do,
and the system more to carry. Stout
people are pretty sure to have erysipelas
or kidney disease or cancer. and are just
as likely to melt down in consumption as
lean people. Then overfesh is attended
by impairment of mental power. dizziness
of sensation, and indifference to the feel
ings of others. The children of stout
young women are likely to have inferior
vitality and go off with marasmus. The
great cause of obesity? Inactive life. 1t
is not what you eat so much as what you
do with it that determines flesh. Men
grow fat eating good lunches aud club
dinners and sitting in offices the rest of
the time. when they ought to work or
exercise strenuously full five hours a day.
Women the same. The only food ! should
taboo, unless in peculiar cases, would be
fats, oatmeal and potatoes.-Shirley Dares

Yet with all the advantages Of canned
goods, some people abstain from their use.

This idea has arisen from the fact. that

one imperfcctly sealed. thus admitting
the air and spelling the contents. These

generally have "swelled" or pulled up

of common sense in the use of the organs
of taste and smell. No one thinks of eat.

Those Who May Live Long.

Better, perhaps, than any of the single
temperaments would be a mixture Of the
sanguine and the bilious; and. indeed, all
the examples of special life storage which
have net with have been of this heredi.
tary admixture.
The organism which is best constituted
for life storage is, therefore. capable of
being identified. and stands out, so to
speak, in it's own colors. The color of the
iris. or curtain Of the eyeball, always an
excellent test, is light hazel; the hair
is dark brown; the color of the skin is in.
clined to be horid. and the lips and eye
lids are of good natural red-never pale,
as in the pure nervous temperament, and
never of dark blush tint, as in the lynn.
phatic or Emphatic bilious. In this
mixed temperament of the sangIline and
bilious, preponderance of the sanguine
is, believe, always an advantage.
The qualities here enumerated as repre-.
sented in an organism well fitted for the
storage Of life, are absolutely of heredi-
tary character. They spring from COM
binations of parentage. and when the
combinations are unalloyed by tho intro.
duction of any disturbing elements Of
disease, the conditions for long storage
are fortunately combined. DIR. Benjamin

of the way he treated the charges of

The Fort Hamilton band played at
Llewellen Park, N. J., last week, and
its music was thoroughly appreciated
says the New York Times, even though
the band was not there. Awax CYL
inder was taken to the front, and the
band played several marches, quick.
steps, and the like for its special i'm.
provement. Then the cylinder was
taken to Llewellyn Park, set agoing,
and the music played at Fort Hamil-
ton was reproduced. Every instru.
ment was heard distinctly. There has
been much speculation concerning the
possibilities of Mr.. Edison's invention,
but on the occasion mentioned an en-.
tire reproduction of the performance Of
the band was given. The notes were
neither faint nor indistinct, although
there was a difference in what is
known as tone color. The sounds
were "small," as though heard at a
distance, but there was nothing like a
muffled tone. One of the stranges,
effects of the phonograph was to give
out a well.known air backward.

Theexecution Of MAXWELL at st. Louis
Friday happened to De successful" that
Is, the murderer's neck was broken and
he died in a few minutes horrible
death, successful though the execution
was, but not so horrible as il would have
been had the knot slipped or the hanging
been otherwise botched. Successful
executions, however, appear to be in the
minority.
The awful death of "BliRky" MORGAN,
whose execution was botched at Columbus
the other day, is an instance of the numer-
Gus unsuccessful" haDgipgs.
MORGAN fell seven feet, when the trap
was sprung, without breaking his neck,
and the bands l~oosenihg from his arms
he seized ihe rope above his head and
tried to free himself from it's terrible clutch
upon his throat.
Two physicians seized his arms and held
them while he struggled in the agonies OF
slow strangulstion, and it was twenty
four minutes before his heart ceased to
beat.
When JEFFERSON, the negro murderer.
was hanged in Brooklyn four years ago,
the knot that should have been drawn
under his ear slipped to the back of his
head, so that the rope was not drawn tight
about his throat.
The dying mans struggles were terrible.
He swung to and fro at the end of the rope,
and sgonizing choked cries came from his
throat.
To add to the horror of the scene his
arms were so loosely secured that he man
aged to got his head up high enough to
tear the black cap from his face, and the
grotesque distortions of his face as he
swung and struggled, grasping at the cruel
rope, were terrible.
The spectators gazed, fascinated with
horror, upon this awful spectacle until
death came to the murderer's relief, and
then the Sheriff tainted, and many Others
were taken sick.
Either capital punishment must be
abolished altogether OF some method
adopted whereby death may be accom-
plished without danger Of such fearful
cruelties aud barbarous scenes.
Ii remains to be seen whether electricity,
which hiss been adopted by New York,
will meet the rsquirs ments ofhumanity.

LITERARY NOTES.

J. S. Ogilvie, of New York and Chicago,
hes Just published in his 50 cent paper
cover Series, a story entitled "a Strange
Conflict" The author of this book, John
NJ. Bachelor, comes before US with a re-
markable claim; his assumption that q
man within himself has the power of self
sustainment and is therefore inherently
superior TO any and all the circumstances,
il an attitude that is decidedly original
and app sals straight home to every man,
woman and child. In this sense the sub
isct is timely and fills a great and growing
want that has never before been satisfacto-
rily met.
The work contains much that at first
sight may be classed with mystical, yet the
clearly says that the surprising phe-
nomena described it apower inherent with
man, and the result Of his own Individual
ity developed in that particular direction.
It's straugeness and weirdDess places it
above Hsggard's 'fShe," or any other Of his
books Of mystery and wonder.
Price so cents.
