THE BODY AND IT'S HEALTH,

FADs IN DIET.-Perhaps popular med
ical literature is partly to blame, says the
London Hospital for the growing habit
of over nursing organs which are quite
able to stand ordinary work. Health
articles are written by doctors, and these,
seeing people only when they are i'll, for
get that the papers they write for-the
"Family Journals '-are read by men
and women, especially women, who are
perfectly we'll. avoid pastry" writes
the doctor, thinking of the confirmed
dyspeptic who left his consulting room
half an hour ago, and thereupon hun
bred folks who were never whit the
worse for their tarts avoid pastry con-
scientiously and take to unending sage
buildings, whose monotony their weary
palate loathes If we were to renounce
all that we see or hear condemned as
overstraining or misusing our digestive
apparatus, we should probably take
nothing but pepsin, with perhaps little
milk to exercise it on. There are times
when after a too rigid dieting, the most
mature of us longs for the green apples
and raspberry tarts of youth, and such a
longing is an honest rebellion of the di-
gestion against regimen which keeps it
weak for lack of proper exercise. To
give fair and reasonable consideration
to the food we eat, is matter of common
sense, but to make ourselves mentally
the parallels of the monks of Mount
Athos, and concentrate our attention on
all that we should avoid, is to lay our
selves open to the chance of indigestion
as much as if we INDUCED every day in
the banquets of a Lucullus.

Has an Option OIL a Volcano.

NIa:ricio Rahdcn, formerly Consul of
the Mexican Republic at Kansas City, has
secured an option on the volcano of Popo-
catepetl, the property of General Casper
Sanchez Ochoa, who is at present oper-
ating the immense sulphur deposit in the
crater supplying sulphur for the manu-
facture of powder for the army. Even
as at present operated, on a small scale
and without modern machinery, the prop
erty pays good profit. We learn, says
the Mexican Financier, that it is con-
templated to build an electric railway
up the volcano, connecting few miles
from the base with the Interoceanic Rail
way. The railway will be utilized for
bringing down the sulphur and also the
natural ice for the supply of the City of
Mexico, which should be in itself a re-
munerative business. The quality of
Popocatcpetl sulphur is excellent, and
if mined in large quantities, would
find a ready market in the United
States, which imports over 10000
tons of this article yearly, largely from
Sicily, the entire annual importation be-
ing rated by the American treasury at
D., ,UVV. Ii tuc plstnS Oh MT. hanuen
and his associates are carried to compile
ton, the country will gain another large
industry. The sulphur of the volcano
was utilized by Cortez for making powder
for his troops. Baron Won Humboldt, in
his New SPAIN" says, speaking at
the same time of the tin OF Tasco, which
was used in founding the first cannon,
Cortez remarks that he is in no want of
sulphur for the manufacture of powder
because a Spaniald drew some from
mountain which is perpetually smoking
by going down tied to rope to the
depth of from seventy to eighty faith
oms'' He adds that this manner of
procuring sulphur was very dangerous,
and on that account it would be better to
procure it from Sevilla. A document,
preserved in the family of the Montanos,
and which Cardinal Lorenzana affirms he
once had in his hands, proves that the
Spaniard of whom Cortez speaks was
named Francisco Montana

He Never Stopped Counting.

Robert Simson, Professor of Mathe-
MATES at the University of Glasgow, was
one of those odd geniuscs who do so
much for the amusement of humanity.
1t was one of his pcculiarfties always to
count his steps when he stirred away
from his bachelor quarters. Even if a
friend accostcd him, he did not lose his
reckoning. To prevent such a catastrophe
he kept repeating the number of the last
step taken.
Once, while the Professor was on his
way to some gathering, a gentleman, who
knew him by sight, but was unaware of
the habit above mentioned, stopped him.
The worthy gcometrician had Just taken
his five hundred and scventy-third step.
II beg your pardon, Professor said
the gentleman; lone word with you, if
you please
Most happy-57'3,' was the answer.
"Oh, no. sud the inquirer, sur
prised, but courteous; ''merely one qU-s
ton"
"Wcll," added the Professor-''55s,3
You are really too polite,' said the
stranger: "but knowing your acquain-
lance with the late DR.. b.. and for the
purpose of settling a dispute, have
taken the liberty of inquiring whether |
am right in saying that he left $500 to
each of his nieces.'
PRECISELY" replied the Professor
"573."
And there were four nieces, were there
mott"
Exactly .-573."
The stranger stared at the Professor,
as if he thought him mad, muttered sar-
castlcaIly-''5s3.' made a hasty bow and
passed on.
Professor Simson saw the mans mis-
take or thought he did, and cried after
him, taking another step at the same in
slant, mo, sir; only four--574.'
Poor fclIow.' thought the inquirer,
as he turned away, ''he certainly has gone
crazy. - Tit Bits

The Barefoot Cure.

The barefoot cure is evidently the
coming craze in panaceas, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. We have had the rest
cure, the athletic cure, the Delsartc cure
the faith cure, ct al, and now the bare
foot cure Returning travellers from
Germany and Austria are bringing the
idea over with them. and as it is vastly
less harmful than the cholera bacilli,
which they might have brought, it is as
well to be lenient with the lesser folly.
The barefoot treatment is phase of more
than one process of cure. Under one au-
thority it is carried on on a sunny beach,
and the patients race through the hot
sands bareheaded, barearmed, and with
legs and feet bare to the knees. This is
to give the sun and heat, with their
health giving properties, free access to
the skin. According to another curist,
to coin a word, it is part of the hard
ening course, and though you begin
walking barefooted over smooth turf,
you advance by running through wet
meadows, and later, meadows heavy with
hoar frost, to the climax of being able to
endure tramping in cold water. As
most of the cures effected at present have
outlived their novelty, at least we may
expect to find this brand-new barefoot
cure eagerly seized upon.

Among the best sorts for children are
balsams, nasturtiums, portulaca, phlox,
pinks and sweet peas. These good, old
fashioned flowers grow easily, last long
in bloom, and are among our brightest
and best flowers.
As rule, these bright, easily grown
flowers please the children we'll; some
times children whose parents pay much
attention to flowers, and have many rare
sorts, with the keen sense of justice all
children possess, grow dissatisfied with
ANIMALS alone and long for share of the
rarer flowers that their elders have. II

and beds full of geraniums and gladiolus,
lilies and roses, and I haven't one. I
just hate my old bed!' Don't be afraid
to give the children few gladiolus or

then grown-ups with some plant they
think is extra choice, as | have reasons

Artificial Granite.

Many costly experiments Gas at Chica
go in October, 1S7D having proved that
granite is a poor stone to resist great
heat, an artificial granite is now pro-
posed. The natural stone is heated to
disintegration, then pulverized and mixed
with the materials needed to tougher it.
After being nodded to the various forms
desired-bricks, tiles, etc.-the latter are
carefully dried, then placed in kiln and
heated to 1900 degrees Fahrenheit, by
which process the particles are fused to-
gether the result being stone of much
more durability, it is claimed, than mar
BILE. 1t is also of uniform texture, strong,
not susceptible to the action of fire or
heat, may be readily cut and fitted,
and caused to resemble either light Or
dark granite or other colors if desired.
