a man is not vigorously hungry in 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. It 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. A light

Excursions across the territory Of
Uruguay reveal nothing Of very great
interest to the tourist writes Theodore
Child in Harper's. The landscape in
parts is pretty; some finely-situated es-
tancias are to be seen along the banks
of the Uruguay; the vicinity of the Rio
Negro, too, is especially interesting and
characteristic of the fertile parts Of the
territory, which present a similar COM
bination of water, wood and rolling
prairie But, after all, one soon wearies
of looking at the same kind Of view
hour after hour, league after league
and province after province, The fences
of posts and wire are varied sometimes
by fences of aloes and cactus; the
eucalyptus, the poplar and other trees
are also planted to form fences, as in
Chilli; the roads, where one sees long
teams of oxen toiling along with huge
wagons, are as terrible as those Of the
Argentine; the prairies are dotted with
innumerable herds of cattle and horses;
occasionally you see two or three
peasants wearing brown ponchos rid
ing and driving animals before them;
at long intervals you see one or two
ranches, or huts, where the peasants
live. In the Argentine the ranches APP
peared miserable enough, but in Uru-
quay saw many even more primitive,
