SCasOnable Advice COncerning Ones Dict
etic Habits - Winter Wancs.
In the spring-time Of the year there
10 great occasion for care In the matter
Of food. The kind that has satisfied
and supported the body during the win-
ter has served its purpose, and Is no
longer At for use. In cold weather the
human system can assimilate materials
that would clog and derange 1t in the
spring. There is no need Of drugs to
make people feel we'll, when tho things
which have remained dormant In the
ground begin to show signs Of life. A
judicious change OF diet is required;
that is all. It Is better to take the ma
terials for health from the grocer than
from the druggist
Begin the morning meal with an extra
allowance of fruit Take two sound
oranges or apples II you have been eat
ing only one, or three IL you have been
eating two. BE sure there Is no decay
In the fruit employed in this manner.
Eat good bread and butter. II you are
. coffee or tea drinker, moderate the
usual allowance. II you are . hot water
drinker, take as much as you like. II
you are flesh eater, take half as much
as you do in the winter. Pork is unfit
for human food At any season. Eat less
butter and grease Of all kinds in spring.
II potatoes are sound and mealy, they
are not Objectionable; cheesy potatoes
are very unfit There Is the utmost
need for the exercise Of caution In the
use Of vegetables Of every kind. Unless
they have been we'll preserved and have
. wholesome flavor, the part Of wisdom
il to avoid them.
In spring it is important that the
heaviest meal should he eaten In the
middle Of the day. The warm rains
produce an atmospheric condition which
causes drowsiness. Eating heart,
meal in the midst OF this pressure add.
to the weight upon the system. In day

will enable you to cope with 1t
In the evening there Is no such stimu
lus, and the result is inj ury to health
the evening meal sh ould be light ant
easily dig ested. Don't eat buckwhea

There was to be review Of the Lam

Of the forces in Scotland was General
Viscount Melville. He was strict dis
ciplinsrian. an excellent soldier. but
he could detect . missing button on
private's coat He was the inspecting
officer. The review was to take place
in the park Of the palace. Luncheon
was prepared for the whole county. A
large party was invited in honor OF Lord
Melville. who arrived at the palace the
previous day TO meet Lord B.. the
Colonel Of the militia regiment There
were few people IS popular IS Lord Il.
His geniality eaualed his hospitality. and
his residence was house widely known
and highly considered; but he was very
forgetful. and despised all those mill
tary details which Lord Melville consid-
sidered Of the first importance-so much
%. that 1t dinner the General expressed
himself very strongly as to the atten-
tion the Colonel should give the next
day to the equipment of the corps, and.
above all. to his own personal appear
ance. Trust to me-" said Lord b !;
..you will see how we'll shall turn out
tomorrow"
However. it was evident tha. the CON-
mander in chief was full OF doubt; nor
were his sapprehensions unfounded. The
next day was beautiful. Crowds assem-
bled in the park and ut the entrance Of
the palace: but the regiment arrived
without It's Colonel. Lord Melville Was
purple with rage. There we all waited
half an hour. At last appeared the
Colonel, and in the most motley guise--
no cooked hat, his sash slung rather
than tied round his waist, his trousers
without straps, half way up his legs.
Hc logged along in perfect indifference
as to his appearance. Lord Melville was
too overcome with indignation to speak
when Lord B. said: .Well. General,
hope You think me all right to-day"
Low-muttered anathemaa were the
only reply to this salutation. However,
the review proceeded. but very slowly,
for the Colonel had to read the word OF
command from paper which he did
! not even try to conceal. Lord Melville
dashed about in frenzy. At length
the last maneuver and final blow came.

COUNTRY AND CITY.


Town Life Disqualines People for Unro-
mitting ExertlOn.
It has lately been pointed out, IS the
outcome Of an exhaustive investigation.
that Of the leading judges, lawyers. ply
sicians, clergymen, publishers. editors,
bankers manufacturers and merchants
Of New York. not over ten per cent. were
born on Manhattan Island.
There is something, apparently, in
the atmosphere and vital conditions OF .
metropolis which tends to di.squalify its
natives for unremitting and triumphant
exertion in the struggle for existence.
The same phenomenon has "ften been
observed in London and In Paris.
The causes may be obscure, but that
they are deep-seated. and inseparablo
beings, seems evident from the persist
ence of the race-type in countries whose
cities have been repeatedly occupied by
foreign invaders. Thus in Spain, where
the Roman colOnists settled in the
towns, and left tillage to the conquered
people, there Is not now trace discern
able Of Roman blood. In Syria, al-
though its cities remained in the hands
Of Greeks for upwards Of nine centuries.
or from the time Of Alexander to tho
time Of the successors of Mohammed
there now remains scarcely vestige Of
the Greek domination.
What iseven more noteworthy, the sed-
entary Arab population is dying out and
its place is taken by an inflow from the
rural districts, which have been inhab-
tied by the same Aramaic stock since the
dawn Of history. But the most striking
example of the fugitive character OF ur-
ban population is furnished by the Nile
land, whose cities in historical times
have been successfully tenanted by A.
syrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans,
Arabs and Turks. They would be soli-
tudes to-day but for the incessant re-
cruitment Of their inhabitants from tho
Jsltaheea, whose race-type is identical
with that Of the subjects of the Pharaohs
depicted on the wallis of the rock tomLs
at Thebes.
The laws of nature seem to hare pro-
nounced curse upon the dwellers in
great cities, and from the viewpoint Of
industrial and vital statistics it is nn-
questionably true that God made the
