How Much Should We Eat?
To he Elilor Of he Dlspalch:

To the btltOr OF me DtSpdcl:
The benefit to be derived from food de-
ponds very largely upon n proper discre-
ton as 10 the quantity consumed: When
food is taken slowly, as IL should be, the
sense Of safety. or satisfaction Of the APP
petite, is a proper guide in healthy systems
as 10 the amount required.
When it is bOlted or consumed too rap
idly the stomach may be overloaded be-
fore the sensation of hunger is appeasad.
1t is a great mistake TO conclude that no
harm has been done because no apparent
evil results from an excess IN diet. All
such excuses put strain upon the diges-
tive organs which impairs their vigOr,
and if continued result in disease or death.
The effect of the use of excessive guam
titles of food varies very much in different
individuals. In some il causes nausea and
vomiting, in others cramps, while in those
whose digestive organs are vigorous the
surplus of food more than the system re-
quires IS deposited in the form Of in
creased tissue and fat. producing the con-
dition known as plethora, which predis-
poses 10 all diseases of an inhammatory
nature and TO hemorrhage.
FrequenC attacks Of pneumonia or plou-
risv have their predisposnG cause in q
plethOric infammatOry condition Of the
blood caused by overlooking. In such
cases a slight exposure to cold which would
not seriously affect a healthy person causes
a dangerous illness.
Young persons require proportionately q
larger supply of food than those of ma
ture age to supply the addition required by
growth.
More food is also required in cold than
in warm weather to keep up the heat of the
body. An Eskimo will consume eight or
ten pounds Of meat day with impunity.
We should take the hint which nature
gives us and not endeavOr to stimulate the
failing appetite in spring by tonics, but
use less food, because less is required and
that of different character-milk, fruits.
and vegetables in the place of meats and
fats.
And when the cold, frosty weather of
autumn sharpens the appetite care should
be taken not to weaken the digestive sys-
tenn by over-indulgence or to produce that
cOngested state of the blood-vessels which
ends in neuralgia or the more dangerous
condition of inflammation.
Exercise, either mental or bodily. is q
great safeguard against the danger of over
eating. The sluggish and indolent and
persons of inactive habits suffer most from
such indiscretions. Work involves waste,
which can only be repaired by food. and
when the outgo and income are properly
balanced there is harmony III the system
and health and strength. NJ. ID.

The seed-tick is small of stature and un-
pretentious in appearance. He Is gentle
and unassuming III manner, and simple and
unostentatiOus in attire. He Is soft of
voice and chary of speech. In fact there
is nothing loud about him except his smell.
He cares nothing for ceremony and ETH
quette, but makes himself at home
wherever he may be. He is not afraid of
work and is always ready TO take right
hold Of any thing that comes along. His
motto is: LET US have piece" but some
times am almost persuaded that he wants
all
Although he makes no noise and is
modest and retiring, he possesses in a pre-
eminent degree that faculty-as rare as 1t
is enyiable-of making his presence felt
and recognized in whatsoever company he
may be. Around the family hearthstone,
or 1T q political caucus; at a picnic or az q

ease. He mingles freely with the people,
sighting none, but greeting in his own in

while he is received with less courtly
formality than king, it is with surely no
less heartfelt awe.

HER LIFE SAVED BY A SNAKE.
4 Constructor Gives Timely Warning ofthe
Peril of Its Little Mistress.

Councilman G. d. Sawyer. of Oklahoma
CITY, Oklahoma, Is authority for the fol-
lowing story about a snake, says the Wlch-
tia JOUrn0i:
Mr.. SAWYER. with his wife and little girl
about two years old. moved 10 Oklahoma
from stella, Neb.. when the regular intuX
took place. Some months before leaving
their home Mrs Sawyer was almost fright
ened 20 death one morning 70 find cOlledup
IN her bahy's cot huge black snake. She
was afraid to kill the snake and too badly
frightened 10 pick up the baby, who by this
time was awake, and IN sweet, innocent
way was pattlng the ugly reptile on the
head and growing with babyish delight at
her pretty plaything. Mrs. Sawyer was
surprised 70 notice that the snake, instead
of resenting the advances OF the child
seemed rather to enjoy them, and as the
baby continued the reptile made some soft,
purring noise not unlike cat. She, how
ever, watched both and backed 20 the door,
when she screamed out for her hus-
band, who at once heard her aud
rushed into tho room. He saw the situa-
ton and al once proceeded 10 snatch the
child away from the snake. which at once
crawled out of the cot. Mr.. Sawyer was
anxious to see what the thing would do and
hesltated for a few moments TO kill the IN
back into the cot, manifesting no signs Of
fear and apparently looking for the baby.
Time went on. The snake was not killed
but many others of its kind became a pet
with the family, and when the move TO
Oklahoma WAS made the snake accompa-
MED the crowd in a box made especially
for its benefit.
The curious part Of the story follows. A
few days ago Mrs. Sawyer was sitting IN
front OF the house sewing, when she was
disturbed by something tugging AZ the
bottom IF her dress She looked down,
and there was the snake with the hem Of
her garment in his mouth, retreatlng to-
ward the rear of the tent. Mrs; Sawyer
tried TO shake it of, but was unable to 10
so. and. becoming alarmed, and thinking
the reptile meant harm, she rushed 10 the
rear III the lot. where she supposed her
husband to be. he. however, was not
there, but on hearing cry she rushed TO
pin about twelve feet deep, dug as Q de-
,,n-,tcrs for seuane She looked down
