president Peclin's report Not Very
Encouraging One.
Tho following report OF tho affairs of
tho Com mercial Association should
spur the citizens up to mora active in.
terest in its affairs il they desire it's
continuance
Report of the stockholders of the Com.
mercial Association for thirteen
months ending May /, 1892.
In April of 1871 it was decided to
wind up the aifLirs of tho defunct Com-
mercial Club and to organize tic Com
mercial Associa zion.
This was done on the basis of y sub
scription of S. 1000, fifty persons agree
ing to take one share OF 500 each, pay
able rs the necessities OF the associa-
ton demanded.
The rooms, furniture, stationery and
fixtures of the old club were purchas,
and assumed by tho association.
Mr.. kreh was continued as secretary
at a salary of 500 per month, as it was
not then anticipated that tho business
depression would continue, but no
change for the better coming his salary
ceased on August l, 1891, and this ex-
pense reduced to S30p per month. At the
outset considerable correspondence was
carried on with outside parties desiring
to locate in Virginia, but soon all in
quiries OF this sort ceased. After ma
ture consideration your board decided
that it was Il matter of very great i'm
portance that tho association should be
hold intact, and 10 increase it's efficiency
it was determined to establish weekly
meetings, to which the citizens gem
orally should BIO invited, for the
discussions OF questions affecting tho
public interest. With but few interrupt
tions, meetings have been regularly
held for the past eight months, and it Is
not unfair 30 say that the results Of
these have eXerted II very pronounced
influence OF public opinion and have
been productive of very positive coed
But one thing cannot be ignored-Lhat
on the whole, tho public have not
properly sustained the association in it's
efforts 20 promote tho public welfare.
1t seems impossible to secure unity of
action among the business men of
Roanoke. The most trifling excuses
are freely rendered for non.attenda nce
and non participation. If any good has
resulted i; has come from the unwearied,
persistent efforts of q handful of men,
who cannot be expected TO give their
time and attention indefinitely for the
benefit OF the many, If the many do not
mako the slightest efforts 20 strengthen
their hands.
1t has been an extreme labor to COL
lect the trii!ing assessments called to
meet current expenses. and number
of subscribers are still delinquent in
sums from $40 to $40. The rooms arc
centrally located, comfortably fur
nished, supplied with tho leading daily
papers Of the country, and with the i'm
portant monthly journals, both trade
and general. but comparatively few
avail themselves Of these facilities
Tho monthly expenses have been
brought down to figure as low az is
possible with tho maintaining OF tho
Association. If tho citizens of Roanoke
believe that they must have a CONNER
cial Association, they must sustain II;
otherwise il will DO wound up. Respec
fully submitted,

How Little Can a Man Live On.

A very eminent authority on let says
that the average man in state OF abso-
lutte rest can live ON sixteen ounces of
food . day; man doing ordinary light
work can live On twenty three ounces,
and man doing laborious work needs,
from twenty-six aad three-quarters to
thirty ounces. This is supposed to be
food free from water, and as everything
we eat contains more or less water, from
forty-eight to sixty ounces of ordinary
food may be regarded as necessary to
healthy existence, according to the work
in which man is engaged Lord Play
fair, man who generally knows what
he is talking about, estimates that the
following will give healthy man sufii-
cient sustenance for whole week; three
pounds Of meat with one pound of fat,
two ordinary ioaves of bread, one ounce
of salt and five pints Of milk; or, for
meat. FIVE or six pounds Of oatmeal may
| be substituted. &C Courier journal.
Passaic City record., 1892-12-31

The largest paintings ever produced,
not including panoramic scenes, which
are usually the work of half dozen or
more persons, was that made by Jacopa
Lobusti, Sixteenth Century artist, born
in Venice, and a pupil of Titan. "Par-
adise,n the name given this monster
painting, gives the reader good idea OF
the picture itself, it being representa-
ton Of the Garden of Eden, showing
Adam and Eve, the animals, trees, SER
pent, etc. 1t is now in the grand salon
of the Doges of Venice, and is eighty
four feet long and thirty four feet wide.
In ceiling decorations that in the Sistine
Chapel Of the Vatican exceeds all others
in point of magnitude, being 133 feet
square. Like Robasti's great work, this
too, is Bible scene, or rather an illus
tration of Bible theme, it represents
the creation and the fall of man and the
early history OF the world, with refer
ence to mans chances for redemption
and final salvation. James Thornhill's
fine painting on the ceiling of the great
