& Remarkable Diet.

All that appertains to food for invalids
comes naturally under woman's prov
ince: therefore it sounds very strange to
folks who are experienced in the dietary
of invalids to hear what Senator STAN
ford's food had been restricted to for six
weeks previous to his death. Unless
there were complications that rendered
other foods impossible it would seem
that the last thing to give man with
heavy apoplectic tendencies would be a
diet of beef Meat, and especially beef,
increases the pressure of the blood on
the arteries, which have already very
thin walls III sufferers with such tenden-
cies. A diet of fruits or vegetables or
ski1nmilk suits most people under such
conditions, when beef only makes mat
ters worse. There may have been cir
cumstances rendering fruit improper or
milk indigestible, but there seems hard
lv ANYTHING a man could take that would
make more danger to his circulatory sys-
tenn then fresh hashed meat.-Phlladel-

The Giants and Noah's Flood.

Among the many queer stories related
in the old Jewish Talmud and copied
into Barring (4Oulds ''Patriarchs and
PROPHETS and works of similar import
is one concerning the action taken by
the great race of giants at the time of
the deluge. At the time of the flood the
giants were not all drowned. Their
leader, Og, planted his foot upon the
fountains of the deep. and with his
hands he stopped the windows of heav-
en- According to Rabbi Eliezer, when
the food broke upon the earth the giants
exclaimed. IF all the waters of the
earth be gathered together, they will
only reach to our waists. and if the foun-
tains of the great deep be broken up we
will stamp them down again" This
they did as they had declared they
would. Then God made the waters hot
and boiled the flesh from their bones.
The Targum of Palestine also says the
waters of the flood were hot. The Tai
mud then goes on to relate the story of
the escape OF Og, declaring that he went
into the water along with the rhinoceros,
clinging to the side of the ark. The
same authorities which give us an ac-
count of how Og saved himself tell us
that all the waters of the deluge were
hot except that which Immediately sur
rounded the hull of the ark. One rab-
binic authority says that Og climbed
upon the top of the ark, and that when
Noah discovered and attempted to dis
lodge him he swore to be a slave to the
patriarch's family forever if permitted
to retain his seat.-St. Louis Republic.

HOW ONE LIFE WAS SAVED.

Professor Henry Drummond preached
sermon the other Sunday to the students OF
Amherst College, on Temptation, which we
find reported in the Amherst Student, and
from which We take, almost in the preacher
words, the story OF saved life, from which
one person may learn one lesson and another
another.
medical student, half through his course
OF four years in the University of Edinburgh,
had worked hard and had led selfish life.
At last he woke up and said to himself that
these were the four best years of his life, and
he had not done one stroke to help any other
fellow and then he thought of another fell
low from the same town as himself, who was
fast drinking himself to death. He had al
most reached the lowest depth He had done
no studying for months. He was simply rot
ting. So he hunted him up, and found him
drunk He said to him that these lodgings
were poor ones for such man, and told him
to come to his room. The fellow said that
he was in debt and could not leave but
Number One said that was no matter, and he
paid the debts and took Number Two with
him. The next morning he was sober, and
Number One said that he had a contract he
thought ought to be signed by both if they
were going to live together. The stipulations
were that neither was to go out alone ii it
were necessary to do so, twenty minutes was
to be allowed to get to the university or back

cones were TO be bygones. This was signed.
One month passed and it was not broken.
Then one night Number Two threw down his
book and said that he could not stand it
any longer he wanted to bust" IAN
right, was the reply, then bust here
That it was right Professor Drummond would
not say, but Number One brought him what
he wanted and he got drunk and 'busted
there. 1t was not long debauch and II
tided him over the hour. Another month
went by and there was another "bust, but
this time it was very short one. After
awhile Number Two said that he had no.

hour, book that he did not invite Number
Two to read with him-the Bible and that he
did not talk religion to him-as if he had not

Total abstinence from the use OF alcoholic
drinks is not only perfectly safe to the aver
age citizen but even very important, as con-
tributing TO warding off sickness and early
death, and, consequently, to the correct per-
torrance of his duties as member OF CIV
iized community, each OF whom IS expected
to pay for his maintenance by beng OF some
service to his neighbors. l have, indeed, OF
ten been greatly puzzled to account for the
fact that so many able medical practitioners
both partake of alcoholic drinks and recon-
mend them to their friends. For my own
part. nv professional experience has shown
me that one of the most common causes OF
chronic sickness and death Is the daily use OF
beer, wine or spirits.
Diseases of the stomach, liver, lungs,
heart, brain and nervous system, govt and
affections of the kidney and other organs,
are surely sufficient to explain the statistics
of the 'Rechabites' and other total abstin-
ence societies. In conclusion, I would beg
to indorse the words of late much-honored
London physician, Sir W. Gull, and say with
him: From my experience, alcohol is the
most destructive agent that we are aware OF
in this country. l would like to say that
