Go home and eat good supper,
and that's all the medicine you want,
said prominent medical gentleman
the other day to a brain worker who
had gone for a nervine, q sedafive or
q sleeping potion, says The Albany
Argus. The patient expostulated,
alleging that II was IL O'Clock at night.
well, what of thatgn said the ply
sician; like n great many others, you
have fallen into the popular fallacy
that eating at night is injurious. Let
me tell you that unless your stomach
IS disordered Il Is far moro beneficial

tween your dinner and breakfast No.
wonder you keep awake. Animals
always sleep after eating and human
beings become drowsy.n
But whylH said the patient
Let me show you the opinion Of
an eminent English physician, and
the doctor read the following from
one of his books: ..Simply because tho
juices needed IN digestion are supplied
by the blood being attracted toward the
stomach. Thus the brain receives less
blood than during the hours of fast
ing. and, becoming paler. the powers
grow dormant. Inyalids and those In
delicate health should always eat be-
fore going TO bed. The sinking sensa-
ton in sleeplessness Is call for food.
Wakefulness is oftentimes merely q
symptom of hunger. Crafty the de
sire and sleep ensues The feeble will
be stronger If they cat ON going TO
bed"
Still, " persisted the doubtcr. SIS IL
not essential that the stomach should
restg'
Certainly was the answer; 'sbut
we should nevertheless eat when
hungry. Docs the stomach OF the in-
FAINT need as much as the adult'sl
Man eats less often because his food
requires more time for digestion. The
vigorous adult can eat bread, milk,
cold beef. chicken. raw oysters, or
some similar food. but OF course It
must be done in moderation. You go
home, now. and take cup of tea and

Love and War.

What frauds birds are. They arc
represented in poetry as sweet. gush-
ing things. rising 10 greet tho morn
with melody and bursting forth in
song on the slightest provocation. To
read bird poetry one might consider
them the most aniablc of Gods crea-
lures, when the fact is, according to
naturalists, the majority of singing
birds are waspish and quarrclsome
among themselves to high degree.
They bchaye worse during their
singing season, which is also their
time for mating, when they are popu-
larly supposed to be fitting about in
the most loving manner, tcnderly be-
seeching each other to be my yalen-
tine" Those who have made n close
study of birds will tell you that mates
are won. not by love but by pitched
battles, for tho most part, the strong
est party carrying off the prize. Some
of the more pugnacious often fight un-
til they are killed. Tho females bat
tie furiously for the males, who sit
calmly by observing the combat quito
llnprcjudiced and ready TO say, May
tho best bird win"
Sometimes the conquerer flies Off
with her dearly won valentine. only
to meet some superior female OH tho
way who disputes tho prize and wins
it. If the superior female be star
singer in bird opera she probably has
to support her husband until She can
get rid OF him and share another.-

Home and the State.

Marriage has been defined as con-
tract between two parties and the state.
Because of the children the state is
said to have special concern in the
matter. This is no doubt true, but it
means rather less than is generally
supposed. The state has concern in
everything that affects human being,
down to tho minutcst detail of his
daily life. II matters to the state
every time man smokes more cigars
than arc good for him, every time q
woman pinches in her waist. 1t mat
tcrs to the state very much when men
grow absorbed iii the business of
money making and have no time or
ability to assist in the development of
higher type of manhood. ftmatters
to the state perhaps even more when
women give themselves up wholly to
the care of their households and the
rearing of their children, rendering
themselves unfit for their task and
sending forth into the already over
burtlened world swarfns of i'll trained.
stupid. prcjudiced human beings,
whose influence upon their fellows is
evil and retrograde.
All these things concern the state
nearly. but tho state cannot send in
sspectors into our homes to count the
cign.s of tie men and inquire into the
system of education adopted by the
women.-Cor. Westminster Review.
