Many persons, though not actually sick,
keep below par in strength and general
tone, and am of the opinion that fasting
during the long intervals between supper
and breakfast, and especially the complete
emptiness of the stomach during sleep,
adds greatly to the amount of emaciation,
sleeplessness and general weakness we so
often meet
Physiology teaches that in the body there
is a perpetual disintegration of tissue,
sleeping or waking; it is therefore logical
to believe that the supply Of nourishment
should be somewhat continuous, especially
in those who are below par If we would
counterfeit their emaciation and lowered
degree of vitality and as bodily exercise is
suspended during sleep, with wear and
tear correspondingly diminished, while di-
gestion, assimilation and nutritive activity
continue as usual, the food furnished dur
ing this period adds more than is destroyed,
and increased weight and improved gen
eral vigor are the result.
All beings except man are governed by
natural instinct, and every being with a
stomach, except man, eats before sleep,
and even the human infant, guided by the
same instinct, sucks frequently day and
prolonged period it cries long and loud.
Digestion requires no interval of rest,
and if the amount Of food during the
twentyfour hours is in quantity and quail
ity not beyond the physiological limit,
it makes no hurtful difference to the stom-
ach how few or how short are the inter
walls between eating; but it does make a
vast difference in the weak and emaciated

In 1889 Philip H. Gosse, afterward 80
well known as writer upon natural his
tory, and the father of Mr.. Edmund Gosse,
was in London in state of downright
poverty. He had just returned from Amer
lea, and had but a few shillings in his
pocket. His only immediate resource was
the manuscript of book which a cousin
of his, Mr.. Thomas Bell, who had already
achieved reputation as naturalist, had
offered to read and pass Judgment upon.
The anecdote is related in Mr.. Edmund
Gosse's biography of his father.
The manuscript was "The Canadian Nat
uralist," and it pleased Mr. Bell so much
that he recommended it strongly to Mr..
Van Worst, the distinguished publisher
of scientific works.
Philip Gosse's pride made him conceal
his real state from Thomas Bell, and
though the latter knew his cousin to be in
need of employment, he did not suspect
that he was in such bitter straits.
Mr.. Van Worst appointed day for the
young author to call on him. Meanwhile
the shillings, nursed as they might be, were
slipping, slipping away. The practice of
going once day to small eating house
had to be abandoned, and instead of it a
hciIiuB WAS ctbtU as SLOWLY as possible IN
the dingy attic in Harrington street.
At last the day broke on which Mr. Van
Voorsts answer was to be given, and with
as much of the gentleman about him as he
could recover, the proud and starving au-
thor presented himself in Paternoster row.
He was ushered in to the cordial and cour-
teous Mr.. Van Worst
He no longer had hope, and expected in
few moments to be out again in the
street, with his miserable roll of manu-
script in his hands. The publisher began
slowly;
81 like your book; | shall be pleased TO
publish it; | will give you 100 guineas
for it,"
One hundred guineasl 1t was Peru and
half the Indiesl
The reaction was so violent that the de-
mure and ministerial looking youth, close
ly buttoned up in his worn broadcloth,
broke down utterly into sob upon sob,
while Mr.. Van Worst, murmuring. my
dear young mani my dear young mani"
fastened out to fetch food and minister to
wants which it was beyond the power of
pride to conceal any longer.

To write inscriptions on metals, says the
Manufacturers Gazette, take four ounces
of nitric acid and one ounce of muriatic
acid, mix and shake we'll together, and it
is ready for use. Then cover your metal
surface to be engraved with beeswax or
soap. write your inscription plainly in the
wax clear to the metal then apply the
mixed acids with feather or stick OF
wood. carefully filling each letter, let it re-
main from five to ten minutes, according
TO appearance desired, then throw on water,
which stops the etching process, and the
inscription is completed.

This shade is intended for throwing a
bright light into limited space-such as

bent into such curves that the light rays
diverging from the lamp fame are re-
Elected nearly vertically downward, ac-

principle is somewhat similar to that of
the locomotive headlight, which renders
the diverging rays parallel and throws
them forward upon the track With a
lamp shade constructed on this principle
none of the light is wasted, but all is con
centrated upon the point where it is most
needed, much to the relief of the eyes and

phenomenon observed not long ago at

were easily caught, as they seemed unable

A method adopted in Westphalia and de
scribed in foreign exchange for protect

ing furnaces from the heat radiated from
the interior and the casing plates con
sists of a rectangular iron screen, hanging
from an overhead rail, which can be made
to cover the working side of the furnace
or can be pushed aside when not required
The lower end is bent over into a gutter,
which has a slight fall in the direction of
its length, and the upper end is provided
on the inside, that nearest the furnace,
with a pipe bored through with small
holes about three-quarters of an inch apart
which is in connection with the service
pipe supplying water for cooling the sides
of the bed. When in use the inside of the
plate is kept constantly wet from the sup
ply pipe, the small Jets trickling down to

notch at the bottom is left for the passage
of the rabble, and a short inclined plate is
provided for the cinder to run over; but
with these exceptions the whole surface il
screened by the water cooled plate. At the
time of balling up the water is shut of
and the screen is run to one side, when the
furnace is accessible in the ordinary way.

About Hogs.

GENERALLY the profitable side OF
feeding hogs is that which makes the
growing pig most comfortable.
ONE advantage in feeding wheat
middlings made into slOp withssSim
milk to hogs is that it will giwe.a bet
ter proportion of lean meat
THAT their is considerable in the
management is shown by the fact
that while some are making IA fair
profit others are losing money.
Ira hog is out Of condition there is
"a cause, and to effect cure one OF the
first things to do is to ascertain and
remove if possible the cause.
TN feeding for growth only give
sufficient to keep in good thrifty
condition, while in fattening they
should have all that they will eat up
clean.
NEARBY every year good cured
hams and bacon sell readily at good
prices and pay the farmers a better
profit than selling the hogs when fat.
HAVE both the sow and boar in a
good thrifty condition when mating
to breed If this is secured they will
impress their offspring with constitu-
tional yig0r.
IT is NOT good economy to feed all
sizes together. Divide up according
TO size and feed accordingly; it Ii a
great waste OF feed to do otherwise,
while part OF the pigs at least will
not do as we'll.
THE best time to fatten hogs is
reasonably early i'm the fall. At that
time better grain in proportion to
the amount OF food given can be Sc
cured.
A GOOD sow should raise two good
litters Of pigs in a year. One in the
spring to fatten and butcher in the
fall, and one in the fall that can be
fattened and marketed the latter part
of spring or early summer.

1t is a fact that is not generally
known that false teeth have to be made
to suit the complexion II satisfactory re-
suits are desired A dentist walking on
Chestnut street called attention to this
fact as he passed lady who In smiling
showed beautiful set of the whitest OF
teeth "Those teeth are too white," he
said @She is a blonde and ought to
have blush white teeth. A brunette
can wear clear white teeth, but blondes
should have blush or cream-tinted. {"
Then he mentioned that friend OF his
had put In a set of perfectly white teeth
for lady who is fair. He did 1t against
his own judgment and only after the
lady insisted strongly on it. She wore
the set few days and went back, say
ing the teeth were too conspicuous She
took q dark set the second time, and
they can not be told from natural ones
In all, dentists have as many as thirty
different shades in false teeth and have

you meant by it. This is where the

tors, concentrated upon the single prob

themselves the best and most whole

why the Boys Leave the Farm.

The answer Is self-evident-per-
petual toll in good weather all through
the busy season, and perpetual loneli-
ness in bad weather and most of the
winter season. The time when the
farmers have leisure is, in half the
country, the very time when they
cannot get away from home by reason
of their isolation and bad roads; yet
such is the hunger of the heart that
the boys revolt against this unendur-
able loneliness and even now often
walk miles through the rain or the
snow to spend half day in sitting
around the stove in the country store.
Already, in many sections, the young
people of both sexes have broken
through the barriers and established
farmers clubs and little societies OF
one sort or another; and improved
roads have done much to aid this re.
lief. Butwhy should not this natural
tendency be reasonably directed, and
all ages and both sexes enjoy their
long winter evenings together:-'John

The grandchildren OF Charles \. Of
Frasce. the little Duke OF Bordeaux and
his sister. are described by their gov
erness. Madame de GontAut- Biron, as
bright and winning lite people Their
society must have been welcome dis
traction to Charles X. during that trying
time when IL was becoming evident that
he could not please the French people
and must abdicate the throne
An instance Of the strange intuitions
which children sometimes have Is the
remark OF the little princess when she
was told that her uncle, Louis XVIII,
was deaa, and that her grandfather was
king. ~Dear grnndpapa 10 king, she
murmured; so much the worse for his
tory"
She once overheard the King saw to
Madame de Gontaut, Everywhere, es-
pecially in Paris, there are intrigues
against my authority. l assure you /
cannot endure IL. / shall leave here and
put the key under the door"
This somewhat fgurative expression
had no sooner escaped the King than
the little girl asked the question which
an older person would hardly have had
the courage TO put:
"And after that what shall we do,
grandpapa?"
The King left the room without re-
plying.
A few minutes later a crowd gathered
before the Tuileries, under the window
of the Kings room. They were looking
at a placard which the lite princess
had written and hung out With some
difficulty they made out the childish
handwriting, and read:
