the Honolulu steamer. He claimed to be
greatly surprised over reports that he had
''lushed' in the colonies. He said:
The only reason why l didn't stay in
Australia was that the clubs wanted NE
to wait until March, and l couldn't see
the force of staying idle so long. Besides

and was anxious to get back to Gods
country. As for Billy Murphy, 1 saw
nothing ofhim. He was licked easily by
a third rater named BurGe, and he isn't
in it any more"
Weir says he did well at Honolulu.

glove contests for him, and he won both.
The first was with Spike" Malone, a

Jr., a prominent Idaho banker, stopping
at the Grand Pacific hotel, says that the
feeling regarding the outcome of the con-
test between ". H. ClaQgett and Fred
DUBOIS for the seat of Senator Mcconnell
is generally small. The opinion of the
majority, he added, is that Dubois will be
the one whom the senate will declare to
have been elected. Should, however,
Claggett be the fortunate choice, but very
little disappointment will be occasioned,
for, if not one of the brainiest men, he
can hold his own, and besides he Is the

Eating Before SlecDiug.

Our forefathcrs did not need to cat
just before retiring, because the time
between their evening meal and bedtime
was of short duration. But thousands
of weak people to-day let several hours
elapse between their evening meal and
bedtime, and during this interval the
stomach gets empty. From this time on
until the breakfast the stomach is entire
~ free irohi all food, aud this adds
greatly to the nightly emaciation. sleep
lessness and general waketulness. 1t was
considered an objectionable sin against
our stomachs to eat before retiring in
earlier days, but the proof of medical ex
perience shows now that there are more
people benefited by eating some light
food before retiring than those who are
injured by it. A little common sense will
easily demonstrate to one whether eating
before sleeping benefits him. The per-
petual disntegration of the tissues, which
goes ON at all times, must be made up for
by supplying the body with plenty Of
nutrimont. Food taken into the stom.
ach at night is better assimilatcd, and
does moro good than that which is taken
in the daytime, when viclcIt exercise
tends to couuteract its good. Food will
digest when one is sleeping, but the
great fault is that people do not know
| the astrological limit of their stomachs.
&aN 4nu emaciated persons improve
VIXEN only small quantity of food is
| placed in their stomachs at night, but if
1t Is overloaded injury follows. Stout
and fat people should avoid food at night
aud their weight would be greatly re-
duced. Weak and ,emaciated people
should eat little of easily digcsted food
before retiring, and their general weight
would be increased. Many arise in the
morning with bitter, sour taste in the
mouth, and they attribute this to the
food they ate before retiring. This coa~
clusion is logical and true. The remedy
is not to take that kind of food again, bu,
try some other kind until that which
does not disagree" with the stomach is
found - Yankee HIS
