What a Man Eats.

I made a calculation the other day of
the amount OF food an average high
liver-that is, man who always has a
good appetite and treats himself we'll
would consume during II natural
lifetime OF sixty years. Suppose he
eats pound Of beef. mutton or other
flesh every day. in year he will con-
sumo 500 pounds and in sixty years
81, 900 pounds of meat. He win eat
the same weight of vegetables aud
quite as much bread. so here are 43. 800
pounds more. He will drink every
day two quarts of coffee, tea, wine,
beer or water. making a total of TO-
$50 gallons. or about 1T5 hogsheads of
liqtid. This estimate does not include
the probability that he will eat forty or
fifty lambs with mint sauce, a couple
of thousand spriug chickens, about
five hundred pounds of butter aud 40. :
900 or $4,000 eggs, and four hogs
heads of sugar. Ii all this supply were
piled up on the scales it would weigh
over forty-tive tons aud if stored would

EMERSON ON NEWSPAPERS.
The Sage on the Abbreviation of Utter
anoe and Improvement of STYLE.

In his hook of conversations with
Emerson, Mr.. Woodbury. reports the
seer as saying that newspapers have
done much to abbreviate expression
and so to improve style"
This is "a hard saying" for the ac-
ceptance of those small essayists and
other superior persons who decry the
newspapers; for one of their most fire.
quent complaints is that the newspaper
writer, in the haste incident to his
work, discards the graces of rhetoric
and misleads the popular taste with
crude thought and unpublished utter
ance.
But Emerson was right and the
superior persons were wrong. The in
tluence of newspapers upoa style has
been good, not bad. 1t has done much.
as Emerson says. ito abbrevate utter
ance." but that is not the whole of its
service. 1t has taught the value of
simplicity in expression. of directness
of style and of clear thinking as tho
condition of clear writing. 1t has made
men understand the advantage of say
ing what Is to be said and then stop
ping, il has banished the exordium aud
the perOfallOn OF literature.
The assumption that the higher kind
of newspaper writing is hasty and slip
shod is unfounded. The newspaper
writer writes rapidly, but his mind has
been trained to think rapidly and to
give quick formulation to thought. His
mind is akin to that of the eXtempor-
aneouS orator.
In minor reporting, done by novices,
the style is often faulty and the dicta-
ton sometimes bad, especially where
there is not time for editorial revision;
but the editorial writing and the more
carefully done news and special articles
of any great modern newspaper will
compare very favorably indeed with
the book and magazine literature of
our time, in point of vigor and cor
rectness of form.
1t is fortunate that this is so, because
the newspapers are now the chief
teachers of the people in this as in
other matters. They are much more
widely read than any other form of lit
erature read at all by the majority of
the people.
In this particular the tendency of the
newspapers is to grow steadily better.
They more and more insist upon the
best educational qualifications on the
part of the writers. They more and
more seek to enlist scholarship and
culture in their service. and men of
the highest literary qualifications are
more inclined to seek newspaper utter
ance as that which gives largest power
and influence to the messages they
bear.
If Emerson had come to manhood in
our day he would have found his true
vocation in newspaper office. 1t is Il
pity that he did not have that oppor-
tunity to reach hundreds of thousands
with a wisdom that was uttered only
to a chosen few.--NeW York World.

Passion and Poetry.

There's nothing in the world like
rhymes to cool of n mans passion.
You look at blacksmith working on
a bit of iron or steel. Bright enough
it looked while it was on the hearth.
in the midst OF the sea-coal, the great
bellows blowing away, and the rod or
the horseshoe as red or as white as
the burning Goals. How it 6zzles as
it goes into the trough of water. and
how suddenly all the glow is gone!
1t looks black and cold enough now.
Just so with your passionate incandes-
ceuce. 1t is all well while it burns
and scintillates in your emotional CEN
tres, without articulate and connected
expression; but the minute you plunge
it into the rhyme-trough it cools down.

lay it cold on the anvil and hammer
away on ID for awhile it warns up
somewhat. just so with the rhyming
fellow, he pounds away on his verses,
and they warm mp a little. But don't
let him think that this afterglow of
composition Is the same thing as the
original passion. That found express
ion in few oh. obs, al, AIS, eheu,
ehea's, heldS, hetnS's, and when the
passion had burned itself out you got
the rhymed verses, which. as | have
said, are its ashes.-OsiUer Wendell

THE CIRCLES OF TO-DAY.
The Rare Beauty OF Their Women StI1l
Preserved-How They Take Life.

One of the most marked traits of the
creole temperament is buoyancv. They
know how to enjoy. They carry light
" that yoke of labor that seems to
press so heavily upon English-speak-
ing peoples. The wisdom of inhaling
the perfume of the moment" is known
to them. They do not go forth on
gala day to push and shove and growl;
they push little annoyances aside with
a laugh and jest; in n crowd they are
gay and good-natured. Both men and
maidens are passionately fond of dane
ing. and even the warmest weather
does not make their enthusiasm flag.
The love of music is deep-roOted in
their natures; it is to be questioned
whether they could live without it.
Poor indeed must be that creole who
foregoes the Sunday opera matinee.
and no pinching or stinting is deemed
too severe if that pleasure Is in view.
In personal appearance the ereoles
are a good-looking race. The men are
usually good looking sometimes strik-
ingly handsome, in the brunette type,
and, though short of stature, they are
broad shouldered and muscular. At
her best, the creole girl is irresistibly
pretty, the dark wonder of her great.
long-lashed, liquid ewes further en-
HANGED by storm-cloud of hair about
a low, smooth brow, brilliant white
teeth, delicately-molded features and
clear olive complexion. Her figure is
lissome and rounded; supple and slen-
der, without angularity or attenuation.
and her hands and feet are small and
dainty. Now and then strain of
Andalusian blood produces a milk
white blonde with violet eyes and
shimmering golden hair, doubly pi-
quaint among her darker sisters.
Though the rigidity of the old sys-
TEN of chaperonage has somewhat re-
Taxed, the creole girl is not allowed as
much freedom as her American friends.
and ia many respects she is more un-
sophisticated. For instance, she does
not understand love-making "for fun. I"
for the men of her race do not think it
honorable to indulge in such question:
able testing. If one of them pays GER
tain marked attention to young lady.
it is understood that he wishes to make
her his wife. Such matters are looked
upon seriously, and the rupture of an
engagement is almost compromising
to girl.
The creole damsel is not tailor-made
by any means. When money Is not
plentiful she is her own modiste with
very charming results, for her gar
ments are coquettishly feminine and
becoming her as its gay plumage be-
comes a tropical bird. Feminine!-
that Is the keynote to her character.
She still believes that it is woman's
duty to be pretty and pleasing above
all things, and her family do their best
to shelter her from coarsening in
fluences. Perhaps from this springs
the creole prejudice against public
schools. 1t will be remarked that
even when they are poor, they send
their children to private seminaries.

THE favor which the Australian sys-

titles to real property. Under this
system the owner of real estate proves
up his title before a government reg

he is the owner in fee. Thereafter
transfers are made by simple trans
