HYGIENIC HINTS.

THERE are many men who get on best with two meals day. But for the average healthy man who is working three meals are best.
 EVERY one who prizes good health and intends to maintain it should in- dulge in dry rub upon going to bed. A flesh brush is good for the purpose, but good rough towel is better. The object is to keep the pores open and in healthy activity.
 As A rule eggs must be regarded as one of the most valuable articles of food for business men. They are of highly concentrated nutritive elements, and for the stomach of man engaged in intel lectual pursuits they should form a staple article.
 ONE key to enduring health will be the religious observance of rest after dinner. Let the evening be for relaxa- ton, not only for the sake of rest to the mind, but out of fair treatment to the stomach, when, if the dinner be at night, it is doing it's hardest work.
 THE man who smokes or chews must know whether it is hurting him or not and how much. Those who find them SclScS AClSouo dI1SA ing and who find their hearts action violently accelerated and rendered un- even by tobacco do not need to be told that 1t is a habit they should stop or moderate.
 WooLEN materials make the best underclothing. Silk is good, but mot so good as wool, especially for sufferers from rheumatism. Silk is too close and hard fabric, and doesn't hold as much air as wool. The secret of beneficial clothing to keep the person warm is that it must be something whose meshes will hold the air, which is the best non-con- ductor of heat.
 FooD needs to be thoroughly mixed with saliva as we'll as to be crushed and softened and torn apart by the teeth. If it is not sufficiently chewed the stom- ach needs either to be overloaded in order to extract sufficient nutriment by imperfect processes, or if only an ordi- nary quantity is eaten, it can not pro- vide nutriment enough. Food that is bolted initiates the stomach and ira pairs the digestive organs, so that tre victim falls ill as @ dyspeptic or worsa.

STRIKERS MANIFESTO.
The Gas Stokers Say the Presence Of Sol diers Will Result in Social Revolution.

The Gas stokers Say the Presence Of Sol-
 dters Will Res ut in Social Revolution.
 LONDON, Dec 13.-The gas stokers have issued manifesto declaring that the employment of soldiers to directly or indirectly assist the gas companies, or to interfere with the strikers in their contest with the masters, will inevitably result in social revolution.
 All of the gas com panies, with the ex- ception of the South London Company, have conceded the demands of the coalers pending arbitration of the dis pute by the Governor of the Bank of England, the Lord Mayor and Sir John Lubbock. The strike will therefore be confined to the stokers and to the coalers of the South London Company.
 The latter company is engaging able bodied paupers out of the poor houses to take the places of the strikers.
 The pickets of the strikers are stop ping these men and dissuading them from going to work. Seventy of them have refused to work.

IS OUR CLIMATE CHANGING ?

Lieutenant Downs, U. s. N., says the singular warmth of the last few weeks has been caused by a defection of the gulf stream which tends to bring it warm waters toward the New England coast, instead of carrying them north ward toward the coast of England and Norway. If such change has taken place, and it is in any way permanent, it might have highly important effect upon the future climatic condition, not only of New England, but of the mari time provinces of Canada, and might, perhaps, have almost as important effect upon the climate of northwestern Europe. Last winter was a period exceptional mildness, SO far as cold weather and snow were concerned, and if the next and following winters are to be of the same character, we shall soon have to regulate our indoor and out of door life on entirely different principles from those which have hitherto con- trolled us. While many would regret the absence of snow, mild temperature would probably have many advantage in doing away with the necessity of large consumptions of coal, permitting of continuance of many out of door occupations all through the year, and, at the same time, making hardships which the poor have to endure very much less severe.

THE MONTANA CONTEST.

It is as we had supposed in the Mon- tana case. The democrats have proposed to submit the contested election cases to a committee of investigation, composed equally of republicans and democrats. The republicans refuse to accede to this proposition. The democrats had; first the election returns on their side next the decision of the court in their favor The republicans had the returning board, that undertook to nullify the first, and the president of the United Scates, who assumed to take snap judgment as re- gards the second. Now the democrats propose to put the facts before the public under investigation by committee, on which the republicans are fully repre- sented, and the latter decline. And yet, for stating these and similar facts, the independent press is accused of partisan ship! The only independence some of our partisan friends are able to under stand consists in recognition that thier party is always right.

 SECRETARY RUsK is the most eccen- tric member of the Cabinet. He is thor oughly democratic in his tastes, and there is an undercurrent of hostility be- tween him and the aristocratic Secreta- ry of State. Blaine and Rusk are about as different in tastes and habits as two men could be.
 LORD FALMOUTH, the tracing peer," famous in English turf annals, who died recently, is said never to have made bet in his life except once, when he bet and lost sixpence with Mrs. Dawson, wife of his trainer, and handed her the coin beautifully set in diamonds and mounted as brooch.
 SENATOR VOORHEES, said the other lay that ''only those who have participa> ] in fierce political campaign have an. idea of the wear and tear of such life. It is not so much the speaking as the ir- regular hours of sleeping and eat ing villainous food, riding in all kinds of railroad trains, the exposure to all kinds of weather and draughts.
 THE Italian Government has devised what may be useful plan for diminish ing the number of duels. Dueling in Italy is allowed under certain conditions, and it is supposed that many duels are due to the fear of those challenged that If they do not fight they will be treated as towards. In future any Italian who calls acountryman coward because the latter will not fight will be made to pay an extremely heavy fine.

 THE municipal council of Paris has appropriated 3s3, ,299 francs for the erec- tion of a crematory in that city, and has levied ''cremation tax" to defray the expenses of the incineration of the bodies of those whose friends can not afford to pay for it.
 A SUDDEN demand for bronze-colored hair perplexes the worthy coiffeurs of Paris just now. But as the demand must produce or create the supply, an enterprising merchant in capillary wares sent to China while the craze was still young, and the result was that bales of copper-colored hair, long and short, straight and ouried, soon arrived at Marseilles, and the humblest grisette can invest in Q bronze-colored wig of Chinese origin.
 PARIS comes out splendidly at the end of her great worlds fair. She has added two magnificent new buildings to her already bountifu1 stock of palatial struct- ures; gets one-half of the S1 ,60O, 900 sur plus, the other half of which goes to the State, and all her small tradesmen are jolly because of their overflowing cof- fers.

Interested People.

Advertising a patent medicine in the peculiar way in which the proprietor of Kemp's Balsam for Coughs and Colds does, is indeed wonderful. He authorizes all druggists to give those who call for it a sample bottle Free, that they may try it before purchasing. The Large Bottles are 50c and S1.00. We certainly would advise a trial. It may save you from consumption.

 LONDON, Dec. 13.-A despatch says that Robert Browning, the poet died at 10 o'clock last night without any suf- fering.
 During the day he expressed himself as satisfied with the success of his new volume of poems. He had been very ill at venice with bronchitis, but there were hopes of his recovery. Robert Browning was born in 1S12, and was educated at the University of London. His first published attsmpt in poetry was "Pauline," printed when he was only little over 20 years old, and though it did not attract general attention if was regarded by discern ing few as the product of truly orig inal mind. Since that time his poet ical and dramatic productions have been very numerous, and his fame has long been world wide.
 In 1S46 he married the distinguished poetess, Elizabeth Barrett, who died in 1861. For some years they resided in Italy. His collected poems were first published in two volumes in l649. He especially cultivated the arts of music and painting, with the history of both l of which he was minutely familiar. Many of his admirers in all English speaking countries formed Browning societies for the study and discussion of his works
