Don't Live to Eat.

From London Truth.
The persons living to green old age who have
come within range of my observation were abb
stemious themselves, and either sprang from
poor families or came from the South, where
heavy meals are not enjoyable NJ. de Lesseps
is almost Oriental in his abstemiousness at the
table, he being of Southern family and having
lived long in hot countries, which are as healthy
as any to those who adapt themselves to the
climate. Catherine de Medici made it rule TO
rise from the table with an appetite, and to pre-
fer lentils and onions and chestnuts to meat
Stanley greatly explains his success when he
says that all he wants is a crust of bread, a
mouthful of meat when he can get it, and a cup
OF tea. | once knew an impresario, who was
also Jew. He held carnivorous feeding in
horror, and told me he never lost his time seek
ing for fine voices in countries where fish or
meat diet prevailed. The vocal birds are eaters
of grain, fruit, and vegetables; no carnivorous
one could ever sing song. 1t croaks, has a
bad liver, and is generally melancholy.

The Benefit of Coffee.

From the Scientific American.
Dr. /. NJ, Love, of st, Louis, in a paper on
this subject said that his experience for five or six
years past had been strongly in favor of taking a
cup o; strong, black coffee, without cream or
sugar, between two glasses of hot water, before
rising every morning-at least an hour before
breakfast. The various secretions were stimu-
lated, the nervous force was aroused, an hour
later hearty meal was enjoyed, and the days
labor was begun fayorably, no matter how the
duties of the day and night preceding might
have drawn upon the system. Another cup at
in the afternoon was sufficient to sustain the
energies for many hours. In this way the full
effect was secured, If along with this the
proper diet was taken at the proper times-and
the ideal diet for those who make large
draughts upon their nervous systems and ex-
pected to have them hOnored was hot milk
and at least eight hours of sleep were taken out
of every twenty-four one's capacity for work
would be almost unlimited
