Corpulent people very generally suffer
from thirst and need large quantities of
water to satisfy it. The thirst is also the
most intense after eating hearty meal.
Just what causes this symptom is not clear,
but it is quite safe to attribute it to a low
form Of irritation of the stomach. As a
rule, also, these people insist that they are
comparatively "small eaters" whereas, as
a matter of fact, the most Of them have
abnormally large appetites, and eat more
than others who are at or near the standard
weight.
Again, very many of them suffer more or
less from dyspepsia, digestion being much
less active than normal. The stomach of a
healthy person disposes of Il hearty meal
in the course of four or five hours, while
that of corpulent person does its work
indolently and occupies several hours
longer. Corpulent people are also singu-
larry inclined to biliousness, which is not
surprising considering the condition of the
stomach. As rule, too, there is sluggish
intestinal acticu.
The popular method of treating corpu-
lency is by restricting the diet to foods
which are poor in fat, and Others which are
not convertible into fat within the system.
This leads to q reduction in weight; 1t also
lessons the work of the digestive organs,
and gives them a chance to rest and regain
their strength; moreover, it indirectly, II
not directly, favors all vital organs. As
soon as this effect is felt, the discharge OF
waste products from the system is decided
ly freer-Boston Herald.

A Theory About Mans Beard.

There is theory favored by the disci-
pies of Darwin that the beard is merely
the survival of a primitive decoration.
Man, according to this view, was orig
inally as hairy as the opossum itself, but
as he rolled down the ages he wore the
hair off in patches by sleeping on his
sides and sitting against tree. OF
course the hair of the dog is not worn off
In this way, but great theory is not to
BIZ set aside by an objection so trihing.
By and by our ancestors "awoke to the
consciousness that they were patchy and
spotty," and resolving to "live down"
all hair that was not ornamental they
with remarkable unanimity seem to
have fixed On the eyebrows, the mus
tache and unfortunately, as the self
scrapers mostly think-the beard as be-
ing all that was worth preserving Of the
primitive covering .-English Illustrated

A Seals Skin.

II we look at ladys sealskin jacket, we
at once observe its rich brown color, and
the velvety softness and denseness of the
fine hairs composing it.
If this be compared with the coarse. hard
or dry sailed skin as imported or, still bet
ter, with the coat of the living fur seals,
one is struck with the vast difference be-
tween them, and wonders how the coarse,
oily looking, close pressed hair of the live
animal can ever be transformed into the
rich and costly garment above spoken of.
Passing our fingers among the hairs OF
the cat or dog, we may notice fine short
hairs at the roots of the longer, coarser,
general covering of the animal This is SC
called under fur. But in the greater num-
Der of animals the short hairs are so few
and often so fine as to be, comparatively
speaking, lost sight of among what to our
eyes constitute the coat.
The remarkable feature then in the ful
seals is it's abundancy and density. The
operation which the skin undergoes tc
bring out, SO to say, the fur, may be briefly
described as. follows:
The skin, after being washed free Of
grease, ETC., is laid flat on the stretch, flesE
side up. A fiat knife is then passed across
the flesh substance, thinning it to very
considerable extent. In doing this tn.
blade sewers the roots of the long strong
hairs, which penetrate the skin deeper thai
does the soft, delicate ones under the fur
The rough hairs are then got rid of while
the fur retains it's hold.
A variety of subsidiary manipulations il
which the pelt is softened and preserved
are next gone hrough.-Exchange

Professor Reynolds gives practical IL
lustration of the effect of fog in connec-
ton with some new betting which had
been running for four hours at Owens col
lege during a heavy fog. The betting,
which was new and bright when started,
was found, when stopped, to be black and
loaded with dirt. 1t had been running at
1000 feet an hour. Professor Reynolds
pointed out the resemblance to the dirti-
ness of an express train, the phenomenon
in both cases being due to the fact that
the rapidly moving body comes in contact
with a greater quantity of air in given
time than stationary body, and, there
fore. picks up a greater quantity of atmos-
pheric pollution.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Speaking of the brain power of ami
mails" said H E. Martin, reminds me OF
an incident witnessed while living at St
Joseph. A neighbor of mine had a large
Newfoundland dog, which did the market
ing for the family. His mistress would
give him a basket, put in it note and send
him to the grocer or butcher On the day
in question he was carrying home fine
roast, and half dozen ours were trottine
at his side trying to get their noses into
basket. He turned his head, first to one
side then to the other, growing fiercely
but they were not to be thus intimidated
Finally his patience gave way; he put thu
basket down and sailed into the hungr.
horde.
"But while he gave battle to some tn,
others made off with the coveted prize
When he realized that he had been de
spoiled he looked the very picture of de
spair. He sat down by the empty baske
and howled like schoolboy that had los
his circus ticket. He took up the baske
and walked home at a snail's pace, put i
down on the porch and fed under tn
house, where he remained all day, despit'
attempts to coax him out."-St. Loui

THE DEATH OF TOMMY.

Inc south has always been known for
us hospitality, and nowhere has th;s
quality been more religiously main.
.alned than In Virginia. UnfortunateIv
.nc war made sad havoc with the Viz
ginians resources, bnt his old time open
neartedness has never altered.
some years ago friend OF mine trav.
ehng IN the lower portion of that state
stopped for a few hours with old ~.
qnalntances and remained for tea. Al
occasion Of this kind in Virginia calla
invariably for the favorite dish Of the
south-fried chicken.
Aiasl there was but one young chicken
on the place, and that one a pet. It had
been left an orphan by its mother at a
very early age, and, like Pip in Charles
Dickens "Great Expectations. /" had been
brought up by hand. The children
called 1t Tommy, and were very fond II
u, while Tommy in turn was attached
to the children.
Inc matter was very serious one,
and family consultation was held.
Virginia hospitality could not be lightly
olsregarded, and it was decided that
poor Tommy must become the sacrifice.
My friend Of course knew nothing Of
tue tragedy that was being enacted for
MS comfort, and when tea was served
regarded the plate Of nicely Drowned
chicken with contemplative joy.
Soon, however, he became aware that
something was amiss. An air Of silent
sorrow pervaded the little family group
usually SO gay, and the children took
nothing on their plates. The chicken
was passed, but with the exception of
my friend no one partook. Selecting a
juicy looking drumstick, he fixed it
with his fork, and cutting off choice
bit conveyed it to his mouth.
At this there was sudden and heart
breaking howl from one Of the little
boys, "Oh, mamma, mamma, he's eating
up our Tommy
Thereupon the other children mingled
their voices in a wild wailing, and the
older members burst into uncomfortable
laughter in which, as the truth dawned
upon him, my friend Joined.
Then there came explanations, more
laughter and tears, and adjustments all
around.
Poor Tommy could not be restored to
life, but he was buried under big apple
tree with appropriate ceremonies. Al

The New York Girl.

There are no women in the country who
can touch the New Yorker on the question
of dress. With her, dressing is an art, the
toilet a sacred rite. Her Conversations
powers are not of the highest order, but they
are fine, nevertheless. A real New York
girl of society, who has been brought up il
the atmosphere of society, who loves it and
lives for it, is generally remarkably good
talker.
She is keen, supple, ready to lead the con
versaton or to follow when the lead il
given by another. She can be amusing, Al
times almost witty. The way she cover
up her ignorance and makes the most O
the meager smattering of knowledge sh'
possesses is little short of miraculous. TIL,

sion, her extraordinary savoir faire-is ad
