Food and Morality.

I Prot. F. T. Miles, of the faculty Of
The University of Maryland, delivered
"a lecture to a large audience of young
men recently, on Food and Diges-
zion" In the course of his lecture
Prof. Miles, in speaking of the effects
of an insufficient quantity OF food,
said: "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 a 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. It is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they
will do strange things 1t produces
insanity, and they have been driven to
eating what has been called strange
flesh;' 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 q
aoaf of bread, but the whole body is ill
nourished, and restless feeling re-
suits. Not much can be done with the
srown-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
cles 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 the
Greedy 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 great mission
to the poor some day to see that they
get enough good food. -Baltinaore Sun.

On the 25th ul,imo Messrs. 3. F.
Mia and D. Il. Campbell went down
TO White Lake in search of an
egret's roost, or any kind of game
that had the misfortune to find itself
the target of their unerring rifles.
After a hard days walk they struck
a camp at the west shore, on a very
pretty she'll bank overgrown with
many weeping willows, and sur.
rounded with vast quantities OF
sword-palmetto. Having made the
necessary arrangements for com.
Portable nights sleep they started
to hammering a lunch with a desper.

was fading into darkness over the
lonely island and lake that seems
like a retreat in oblivion of the outer

supper Mr.. Mir walked down to get
a pail Of water, but presently Camp.
bell, hearing a splash in the water,
and supposlug that his companion
had careIessly tumbled in head first,
called to him, asking how he felt,
and not a second later he heard
more scufllng than vas necessary to
crawl hack on the bank. Instantly
he grasped his trusty revolver. and
was soon on tie scene to behold Mir
il the claws Of an enormous tiger,
plunging and diving i'll about three
feet Of water. Quick as thought.
Campbell drove two balls through
the animals shoulders, then Jumped
in also in order to give the brute a
final shot through the brain, and not
strike the man. This he succeeded
in doing, leaving the tiger for awhile
to writhe in his dying agonies, and
helped his friend to ascend the bank
to luckily End him strangled worse
than bit, though having received
several scratches on the arms to
show in after years the result of
this exploit on the lonely White
Lake of Vermilion parish.

referring to the paragraph in

it is not advisable, under existing
circumstances. to call a convention
to nominate q candidate for the legis-
lature from this parish, permit me
to observe that in my opinion a
convention is perfectly unnecessary,
as many proper mel can be secured

have nc show we're a convention
called. The farmers. at this season

spare to run to town to attend a
convention, so let them select a can.
didate from their own midst and
support him. Let us select a good,
honest farmc: and support him at
tue coming election; and let the
candidate who is of opinion he can
not control the majority Of votes
withdraw his name and leave the
field open 10 the successful one. We
are all free men and good Democrats
and have no use for conventions.
FARMER.
We think Farmer" a little off in
his mode Of reasoning. How could
farmers manage to select the proper
man in their midst after his man
ner Of reasoning-hy staying at
home? And who is the candidate
in the field who does not feel san
guine of success? And who is the
candidate that will acknowledge she
can not control the majority of
votes and withdraw from the field ?"
Come, Farmer" we wish to see the
farmers get their just dues, and if
they wish to assert their political
rights, it is pot by staying at home,
in II opinion. they a do so. Then
why not let them meet in convention
and select a candidate from their
own midst and support him"-they
are largely in the majority AM can
easily elect him. Your argument is
too thin.
