FASTING FOR HEALTH.
Tho Stoma ch Should Be Given a Rest to

Tho Stomach Should Be Given a Rest to
Brace It Up.
A well-known woman physician says
she keeps herself in perfect health by
occasional days Of entire fasting. Her
stomach rests meanwhile, and the sys-
tenn uses up the clogging material on
hand in the body, and is ready to start
over new when the mistress of the ma
chine begins to add fuel once more A
writer in the English Illustrated Maga-
zine is positive that mankind eat more
than is good for them. For gout rheu-
matism and kindred chronic ailments q
celebrated London physician prescribed
less eating and drinking and charged
his patients twenty guineas. The
writer remarks further: II venture to
believe that all society would gain by
diminishing the consumption Of meat.
Queen Elizabeth ordered fish diet on
Wednesdays, and Fridays. not for any
ecclesiastical reason, but (ostensibly, at
any rate) to encourage the fish trade and
to diminish the demand for flesh. That
interference with the market was not
wise; but ! think the adherents to the
vegetarian society will do good II they
persuade multitudes to learn the value
of whole meal bread and oat meal and
vegetables and fruit and not rely so ex-
clusively on beef and mutton. The
poor especially might find in porridge
and lentil soup and well-cooked veg
etables far cheaper, more wholesome
and more sustaining diet than the often
unsatisfactory, coarse and even un.
wholesome scraps which they buy from
thu butchers at q far greater cost"

HIS FEELING TRIBUTE.

VIII Not for Some Time.
A tired-looking man, with deep band
Of Grape on his hat, came into the Office
Of the Indianapolis Journal.
"Well2" asked the editor.
my cousin Jim is dead" said the
tired man, with deep-rooted sigh; my
only cousin, whom loved as brother
or more"
"That's too bad"
"Isn't it, though? And IL have
wrote few verses Of poetry on him, or
rather about him, and / didn't know but
what you might be inclined to print
'em."
The editor found on inspection that the
poetry was not as bad as it might be-
in fact, for obituary poetry. it was rather
q superior article.
Il think we can find room for this, Z"
said the editor.
"Ah! if you will. My poor, poor cous-
in! If this little tribute to his men,
ory-" Here he either got stuck in his
sentence or broke down from emotion,
and gave way to tears. Then he put on
his hat, and stood on one foot and then
on the other, and finally said:
"Oh! er-do | get my check now or
wait till publications."
'What check?"
"The check for my poetry, of course.
Do you expect man to set up till three
o'clock in the morning writing poetry
for the fun of the thing2"
The tribute to cousin Jim has not vet
appeared.

A MARROW ESCAPE.

Hid by the overshadowing trees
The moon shone bright above;
The spirit Of ths gentle breeze
Seemed whispering of love.
Along the dusky forest way,
Where no one else was nigh,
We wandered--she was fair as day
A lucky man was I.
Upon the morrow we must part;
I'd known her but a week.
And yet, the feelings Of my heart
My tongue could scarcely speak.
took her little hand-methought
A tear stood in her eye;
My soul with rapture was oerwrodght-
A lucky man was I.
Then Cupid's prompting made me bold,
With deep emotion stirred
My ardent tale Of love told,
And asked for just one word
One little word in answer-so
This maiden sweetly shy
Murmured in tender accents: "No"
= A lucky man was I.

How New York Younester Kept Tab OF
His Expenditures.
Away out in Madison avenue, says the
New York Evening Sun, there is an old
woman who sits all day in sheltered
angle of one of the churches with bas-
ket full of pink and white Jumps OF candy
as hard as bullets and as rough as nut
meg-graters. These Jumps are known
to boys as jawbreakers," and they are
in high favor with the Madison avenue
youngsters because they are cheap and
last long time" as one of them says
Now, what cigars and liquors and every
thing else that is good, but unnecessary
is to a man these pink and white Jaw
breakers are to this youngster, and every
penny that he can earn or beg from older
members of the family, together with
his allowance Of fifty cents week, is
sure to be, sooner or later, in the basket
of the jawbreaker woman"
In the expenditure of this allowance
the utmost liberty is given to the little
fellow, but he is expected to keep faith
full account in small book of each cent
as he disposes of it. For several weeks
past this account has run rather monot
onously, as follows:.

"Yes, it will, you see," he promised.
"For two weeks I'll have that in my
book just once" She gave in, as young
mothers have way Of doing, and for
two weeks more the allowance went
on as before. Then the book was called

The Queer Mud House Called q Kura, In

The combustible nature of japanese

and disastrous calamity; hence since .
long time ago the more wealthy ia
panese merchants as well as farmers
have been in the habit of building q
kura or fire-proof mud house contiguous
to their shops and dwellings, yetgener.

Into these are hurried at the first

1t is very common thing to see in
Yokohama, in the streets of the native
town, many of these kura built with
much attention to architectural effect.
They resemble very closely gigantic
fire-proof safes, which may be one, two
and even three stories high. They have
heavy projecting roofs, concavely
curved, covered with extremely heavy
tiles of black terra Gotta.

The advantages of this Gulf opening
are numerous. 1t is 600 miles nearer to
the corn and wheat fields of the West.
It is over a gradual incline of but about
one foot to the mile from Kan
sas City to the ocean, decline
of less than two feet from Wich-
ita-and less than three feet from
Kearney, Neb., or Des Moines, Iowa OF
course a uniform grade of that moder-
ate slope would be impracticable, but it
can be truthfully said that there is no
country of the same length on the con-
tinent where such a grade would be 50
nearly practicable.
This route is through an undeveloped
region of timber, coal and iron inesti-
mable in its value.
The route direct from Kansas City to
the Gulf passes through an almost
primeval forest of $50 miles, consisting
of the long-leaf pine, the best in the
United States for ornamental purposes,
such as wainscotting for banks, halls
and offices and finishing materials for
railroad cars, the various oaks, ash,
pecan, hickory, magnolia, white gum,
used for furniture and other varieties
The coast has advantages over most
other harbors in being high land, ex-
empt from overflow by storms, as is wit
messed by the fact that fine orange
grove flourish to the very verge of the
ocean.

BOOMING AGRICULTURE.

The Braying of the Donkey at the Head
Of the Agricultural Department.
The farmers have succeeded in max
ing an impression upon the minds of
the statesmen at Washington. The de-
preston of the agricultural interests is
now generally admitted, and all sorts of
panaceaS are suggested. Secretary
Rusk. of the Agricultural Department.
comes forward with two recommends
lions. He thinks, in the first place,
that the farmers do not entirely COM
prehend their business He says they
should not acquire more land than they
can properly cultivate. He believes
they lack intelligence and skill. When
the farmers read this they will want
Secretary Rusk's scalp. In the sec
ond place, the Secretary recommends
high rates of duty on agricult-
ural products In this particu-
lar the Secretary is logical II we are
to have high rates ot duty on one thing,
there is no reason why we should not
have similar rates on another-that is
to say, if the idea of a tariff for protec-
ton is 20 prevail as against the tariff
for revenue. But we do not believe the
farmers will accept Secretary Rusk's
suggestions They merely tend to show
how small a potato is at the head of the
Agricultural Department. The Score
tary shows that he is neither a farmer
nor statesman. just how a congested

be found there If hogs with cholera are

such ground he may carry the germs
