HUNGER AT BREAKFAST,
That 1t Is Not Always Present Is the
Eaters Own Fault

Eaters Own Fault.
Breakfast Is rather a failure as Il
meal with town men. That ought not
to be: there is something wrong when
man is not vigorously hungry in the
morning. Where is the fault? asks the
Hospital. Is it in the late dinner? Not
in the dinner. probably, so much as in
what Is drank at dinner: in that and in
the nervous strain of the times. 1t does
not matter whether we dine in the mid
die of the day or in the evening, so long
as we dine judiciously. But the man
who has much work to do. and particu-
larly brain work, cannot dine in the
middle Of the day. If he does. he must
make up his mind to lose at least an
hour of his most valuable time. y light
luncheon az midduy, with no stimulant
stronger than cup of coffee or a bottle
of ginger ale. i the suitable thing. But
this must on no account be used as a
substitute for dinner. He who lunches
in this way at midday must dine in the
evening, and dine well. The business
man should dine at half past six, or at
latest half past seven. The lazy man
may dine when he likes. The man who
has earned his dinner should have
good one - not heavy, but nutritious:
not too elaborate. but well selected and
well cooked. He should drink. if poSsi-
BILE, only one kind of wine. and that a
light one, sparkling or still. Spirits
and beer he should avoid. Dinner
should bc the last meal of the day, ex-
cept for those who cannot sleep with
out little food in their stomachs.
These may take cup of cocoa. with
little thin bread and butter. Just at the
moment of going 10 bed. If attention
be paid to these suggestions. very few
people viii fail to be hungry at break

A Postal Curiosity.

y curiously addressed letter lately
passed through the post Office at Mad

delivered. notwithstanding all difficult
ties. The address was perfect rebus
AT the left hand side was the figure
of lady; it was clear, therefore. to
which Sex the recipient should belong
Over the lady's head the sun was rising,
hence her name was inferred TO be Au-

in order to leave no doubt possible, 4

To complete the address number was
indicated in one of the streets of the
city plan. The postal authorities
took three days TO study this
curiosity, and then triumphantly

AN ESSAY ON FLIES.
Some of the characteristics OF the Inse
Which Deffc~ Man.

Some of the characteristics OF the Insec.
Which DefieS Man.
The iy has some advantage over
man. For instance. nc has pair OF
double compound eyes. and with them
he can see in any direction or in all dl-
rections at once without for an instant
turning his head.
These eyes, says the Chicago Herald,
have four thousand distinct faces, and
all of them have direct communication
with the brain, so that if a man comes
along on one side of him and lump of
sugar on the other, he will be able TO
watch both of them and stay for the
sugar so long as it is safe on account of
the man.
When he sees he can get one and
dodge the other, that is exactly what he
does, and he does not have To twist his
neck in two trying to keep track of the
opposite object.
The fiy is particular about the air he
breathes He hasn't very big mouth,
and his lungs are small in proportion to
his body, but he is particular what he
puts into them.
Good green tea, such as the best of
the grocers sell for dollar. stepped
pretty strong and well sweetened, viii
they will drink of it as readily as
''coon" will play craps. 1t is estimated
that a pound of tea and two pounds of
sugar will rid room of flies within ten
days-thaf is, a small room.
Flies are voraciouS eaters. They do
not care SO much what they eat as when
they eat II. They are particular about
regular meals. They do not eat long at
time nor much at time, but they eat
often
Careful observers have stated that a
common house fly Will eat forty-two
thousand two hundred square meals in
twelve hours. One female fly Will pro-
duce twenty thousand young ones in
single day, and they will develop so rap
idly as To increase two hundred-fold in
weight in twenty-four hours.
Scientists have never been able TO tell
how a fly walks on the ceiling; or, rath-
er, they have never been able to agree
about il. All of them have told, but no
two are alike in their explanation. Some
say the fly has an air pump in each of
its numerous feet, and that he walks up
there by creating a vacuum in his in
step and allowing the pressure of the
air to sustain him.
Others think he carries n minute bot
tie of mucilage around with him and
lubricates his hoofs with it, so that he
can stay as long as he wants to on any
surface, no matter what the attraction
of gravity may have to say about it.
Between these two schools of thought
you may take your choice.

MUSIC IN THE RIVER.
In Olden Times This Phenomenon Would
Have Been Thought supernatural.

oluen Times ms ihSnphenoh NOu
Have Been Thought supernatural.
1t is pretty generally known that in
the Pascagoula river. near Scranton,
Miss. says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
strange sounds are frequently heard, as
of a musical instrument played at a dis
tance, under water Boating parties
are often startled at the distinctness of
this music. They lillen it to the sounds
produced by the vibration of musical
glasses or of harp strings. The sound
rises and falls as if waited by the wind.
and is locally known as the mysterious
music" The origin of the sound is gen
orally ascribed to n movement of sand
at the bottom of the river, although
there is no evidence offered that the
sand does move or any reason given why
il should move. The explanation doubt
less rests upon the fact that such n phe-
nomenon as singing or barking sand i
known to exist in several parts of the
world 1t is not likely that wet sand
would produce the sounds mentioned.
1t is more probable that fishes make
these noises, for fish can sing, very
nicely, too. 1t seems rather funny to
speak of singing fishes, but many of
them do produce vocal sounds. Croak-
ers get their name from the noise they
make. Bluefish protest Indignantly
when they are pulled out of the water,
but these are not such sounds as consti-
tute the music of the fishes

Short Courtships.

Marriages are concluded in .an
original manner among the convicts
on the island of Saghalien. When a
party of female convicts arrive the men
are given a half holiday and taken to a
park, where they meet the newcomers.
a general inspection of brides then
takes place. In an hour or so the
guards call time. The men must then
come up to the officer in command and
point out the women they have selected.
