 NEW YORK, Dec 26.-The prevalent idea that 1t is healthy to laugh and grow fat'' is an erroneous one.

It is founded on some chron- lc disorder of a vital function, generally the kidneys. It may be inherited or acquired.

The gross corpulency of Edward Gibbon, the histori- an of the Roman empire, can be traced from a sickly childhood to the period when the small bones of the big brained but deli cate boy were hardly able to support the weight of his unwieldy body, enlarged, as it was, by lethargy and indulgences a: the table

What one loses in weight the adipose cells at once glean from the return 10 the former quantities of solids and liquids necessary to appease the ravenous appetite. \ good proof of this result will be found in the fact that oarsmen, runners. walkers. jockeys and athletes of all kinds gain rapidly in flesh the moment their training ceases and in short time weigh more than ever they did before.
 Thanks to modern science, 1t is almost as easy to cure the fat disease now ns it is to rid ones eye of q stye. To understand the proposition, let us first consider what fat is. It is the oily concrete substance deposited on the cells of tho adipose membranes un- der the skin and in various other parts Obesity is the accumulation of fat under the integuments or in the abdomen, or in both situations, in such an amount as to embar- rass the several voluntary functions.

For the benefit of sufferers in general

 yield to lethaTIy, drowsiness or excessive
 sleep. Never nap. Never sleep over seven
 hours, and if you reduce that number to six all he better Sleep is simply the relaxa- tion of the muscles and nerves-then only sleep in moderation, as well as exercise. In dolence of mind and somnolence of body are always associated with obesity. Eat in moderation. but do not deny yourself good, wholesome food. II you believe any food to he fattening, avoid it as you would poison. Do not eat anything that is fried. Fish IS better than meat at all times. As a general rule refrain from beer, ale or sweet wines Milk may be taken now and then. Always sip liquids, and do not gulp down great quantities of fluids, which cannot fail to in- crease the work of the kidneys Extra drinking is very bad for those delicate or Gans at any time, but especially so when they are in m abnormal condition.

Causes of Obesity.

' abroad some years ago to study the great German physician and his system. I dis covered it to be exceedingly simple. There is no starvation, banting or sweating-in fact, no dieting to speak of. l found that the application of his treatment varied ac- coriing to the conditions of each individ- ual case. The great primary thing in each case was to discover the condition of the patients kidneys and heart. By the health fulness or debility of these organs the whole treatment was to be regulated in all re gards of quantity, character and prOpor- tion of food. That Is why the great Ger mans system cannot be made matter of popular knowledge and self practice. Brief ly speaking, the system recognizes four important causes of obesity. The first is artificial heat, the second heat, the third sleep and the fourth and above all the kid neys. The latter are tine essential factors. They must first be brought into a certain heslthful condition for reduction of cor pulency, and by that l mean a permanent reduction.
 l can without violating any confidence say that it was by the application of these principles that effected cure in the case of four distinguished persons well known to the public. They are Grover Cleveland, president of the United States; the late United States Senator David Davis, the Duchess of Marlborough and Pauline Hall, the comic opera queen. In the last two cases lean truthfully assert the cure is permanent. It was also so in that of Senator Davis, and am sure it will be in the case of President Cleveland If he does not amid cares of state neglect the regimen he should follow.

He relaxed the treatment too soon, however. and regaiued great DOT tion of his flesh. He will, however, renew it, and am confident that his will power and pluck will pull him through success

A FARM HANDS UNION.
A Movement on Foot to Organ>
ize Farm Laborers.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, June pa
Parties are now in the city who claim
to be working up an organization OF
farm laborers of the state into union
for raising the rates of wages now
paid.
The promoters of the scheme claim
considerable progress has been made
and they expect to have the state OF
Kansas thoroughly canvassed before
the end Of the year, after which the
organization will be extended to other
states. Thirty dollars per month is
the figure now set as the union rate
for farm hands. This is an increase
of from fifty to one hundred per cent.
The organization is to be non-partisan
although the full endorsement of the
populist farmers are expected.

TEACHING THE DEAF.
Some Interesting Facts About
the State School at
Fulton.

The state school for the education
of the deaf, located at Fulton, has
just closed a very successful session.
From Mr.. Henry Gross, one of the
teachers, who is visiting in the city,
THE BAzoo CLEANS the following facts /:
This school was founded in 1851 by
legislative enactment, and was opened
with one pupil named John Isaacs,
from st. Louis. The founder, Mr..
w. D. Kerr, came from Kentucky,
where he had been teaching in the
state school for twenty years. His
labors were untiring and by his exer-
tions the school increased its attend
ance rapidly. He continued at the
head of the institution for period of
thrrty-seven years, and only relin-
pushed his work at the behest of
advancing age. His successor,
Prof. james n. Tate has held the po-
sition for four years, and has just been
unanimously reelected.
The school is similar to other schools
in the other states Of the union.
When the school was founded there
were only twelve other schools; now
there are over 7S-public and private
in the United States. The course
of instruction is similar to the
course taught in the public schools Of
the state. Deaf children are as capa-
BILE of acquiring a finished education
as the hearing, only longer time is
required. A ten years course is
open to all the deaf children of the
state between the ages of s and 81,
free of tuition or boarding charges.
In addition to the intellectual train
ing, the pupils receive instruction in
industrial training. Boys have the
choice of several trades-printing,
carpentry, shoemaking, tailoring, and
baking. All the girls are taught light
homework and sewing, and the older
girls are instructed in cutting and fit
ting their own dresses. The trades
have been sufficiently mastered by
many to enable them to earn their
own livelihood.
A considerable number of deaf
scholars when admitted are found to
have the power of speech. In order to
help them to retain their speech and
to further improve it, two teachers of
articulation are employed. These
give instruction in speech and lip
reading to all that would be benefited
thereby. instruction in art, drawing
and painting is also given, and the
work of some of these art scholars is
pronounced by critics to be above the
average.
The State school ranks fourth
among IS schools in the United States
in the number of its pupils enrolled.
The enrolment for the session just
closed is 2S5. The faculty comprises
seventeen teachers, of whom five are
deaf.
