One More Remedy for Obesity

Never eat more than one dish at a
meal, no matter what that dish may
be, and person may consume as much
as the stomach may bear, and satisfy
the appetite without the least reserve.
Nevertheless, nothing but the one dish
should be taken; no condiments, no
soups nor supplementary desserts
should be allowed. This system was
recommended by the author of the
note to a lady who was slightly obese,
and who put it into practice with the
best results.
The lady observed that she suffered
no inconvenience whatever from this
diet, and the result obtained by sew
eral others may be well understood, as
she found by her own experience that
the partaking of only one dish, whether
it be meat, fish or vegetables, brought
on a sense of safety much sooner than
if she had partaken of variety OF
dishes, whence the effect of n relative
abstinence. Pharmaceutical Era.

A Rir Umbrella.

The biggest umbrella in the world
has been made by Messrs. Wilson,
Matheson & Co., of Glasgow, for the
use of a West African king. The um-
brella, which can be closed in the usual
manner. is twenty-one feet in diameter,
and is affixed to a polished mahogany
staff of the same length. The canopy
is made of Indian straw, lined with
cardinal and white, has n score of straw
tassels and n border of crimson satin.
On the top is n pine shaped straw orna-
ment which terminates in gilded cone.
When in use the umbrella is fixed in
the ground. and under its shelter the
king is able TO entertain thirty guests
at dinner. London Tit-Bits.

A Case of Mistaken Identity

beauties, and placing the box under
his arm he bore his offering to her gra-
cious presence. With a great flourish
he presented them, saying, 81 selected
these for you because they are what
you are"
She took them from the box, and
then deliberately turned her back on
him to smile on the other fellow. And

florist had cheated him and given him
roses familiarly known as jacks.-New

II every boy learned n trade thor
oughly the market would not be gluttcd
as at present with unskilled labor. and
there would not be SO many young
men sitting around in offices trying to
make themselves generally useful at s.
to 50 a week, while they are learning
scarcely anything of actual business
and are on the road to nowhere in par
ticular. This is the situation, and Col
Auchmuty, of the New York trade
school. described the remedy in an ex-
tremely interesting and valuable lecture
at the board of trade rooms Wednes-
day evening. The apprenticeship sys-
TEN has passed out of vogue in the
United States. and the majority OF
skilled workmen are foreign born. A
young man nowadays must pick up his
trade, mt best i'm a slipshod manner, in
such a position as he can get. Tho
trade unions are hostile to the training
of apprentices; their policy is to cor
ner skilled labor.
The trade school is the solution of the
problem. The $500 young men who
have learned trades in Col. Auchmuty's
school have earned $3.50 to s. per day
on leaving, and testify that the school
has been the making Of them. Plaster
ers have gone right out and earned 81

course in plumbing in three months, in

them on graduating. The work of the
bricklayers who learn the trade there Is

duces a boy to leave school to find en-

The trade school system encourages
him TO remain at school, TO go TO col

sented at the New York school, Col.

The custom of decorating churches,
dwellings and places of business with
evergreen, holly, laurel, bays and mistle-
toe at the Christmas season has heather
origin, being perpetuatlon of au OBJ
servancc OF the old British Dfulds, whose
belief it was that kindly sylvan spirits
sought these ornaments of living green
and lowered near them, untouched and
unharmed by nippipg frost, until the
death of winter.
Those same old Druids attached much
importance TO the mistletoe, investing it
with a peculiarly haIlowed and mystic
character, They regarded it as an
emblem of love and believed that it
typifed the benefcent feelings of their
gods toward mankind. 1t is doubtless
to this old Druidical association of the
mistlctoc with love that the English
custom, which still obtains, OF enforcing
the forfeit of kiss from any female
who is caught under branch of it at
Christmas time, is traceable.
We are also indebted to the Druids
for the Christmas game of "snap-
dragon" which is played, as every one
knows, by trying to snatch raisins from
blazing brandy in an otherwise dark
room. But probably few of those who
have played it are aware that the old
Druids were accustomed to worship a
fame of burning spirits, into which
they cast and from out of which they
pluckcd certain objects.
