STOUT AND THIN PEOPLE.
Stature Regulates Fatness and SHINES
With an Iron Rule.
JACOB Sport
LOGAN. Utah.

Stature Regulates Fatness and SIimncss
With an Iron Rule.
Fatness and slimness come by nature
and are therefore often impossible OF
remedy, for it is of no use, and it is ut
ter folly besides to fight against ones
constitution You can affect that con-
stitution to a certain extent, but beyond
that extent, which won't please either
the too fat or the too slim folks, you can
only do harm, defeat the very object you
try for, and, worst of all, throw yourself
into i'll health. 1t stands to reason that
if a man or woman comes of big boned,
stoutly built stock he or she may reason
ably be expected to inherit the tendency
to corpulence. Conversely, suppose man
is born of family stock which is notable
for its thinness and slimness. it may be,
and generally is, worse than folly for
him to expect, by any process of feeding
or otherwise, to become stout. and well
favored Person.
So let US realize this big fact at once
that we have to face the question OF
our constitution first of all, and as sem
sible people to see and discover whether
our fairness or our thinness is part and
parcel of our natural build Rest assured
if we are fat by nature it is useless to
attempt by diet or otherwise to reduce
our bodies to slim proportions. Many a
man and woman has paid the penalty of
such rashness by inducing disease
through their outrageous efforts to
thwart nature. Let us be sensible, then,
about this ''fatness" question and see
clearly where as rational beings, we
stand. 1t is possible to keep even fat
body within its own limits by reason
able care and diet, just as it may be pos
sible to fatten up a thin person within
limits again by regulated course of
food Whatever you may do in the way
of thinning Or fattening, you can never
safely or, what is more to the purpose,
permanently attain Jour aim by the use
of drugs. If there is any cure for fat
ness at all, be sure it is to be found in
the food and in the food alone. Health.

HONEY LOVING BIRDS.
They Sometimes Have Battles With Bees
For the Sweet Rnntv


For the Sweet Booty.
The love for sweet things is a craving
Of nature III all living creatures, and
birds will sometimes run great risks to
satisfy it. Bears in their eageraess to
get at the honey IN a hollow tree will
sometimes wedge themselves into so
small hole as to endanger their lives,
and many forest birds, such as wood
peckers, blue jays and thrushes, will
run the danger of being stung to death
in their endeavors to obtain the sweet
honey that the bees store in the hollow
trunks of trees Sometimes they will
attack bees on the wing and snap them
up for the tiny speck of nectar contained
in their sacks. Blue jays often take a
position near beehives and fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee is
caught, but not devoured, for birds will
kill the bee only that they may sip up
the honey. Unless driven away few
such bird robbers would soon depopu-
late hive
Occasionally the bees organize and
fight the birds. They issue in body

upon the assassins In the quick, sharp
conflict that follows the birds invaria-
bly, get defeated. Indeed they do not at
tempt to resist the onslaught but seek
safety in flight. If the bees surround
one Of the birds quickly enough, there
is little hope for the robber. They settle
down upon him and sting him to death
He may fly away, but the bees cling to
his back and sides tenaciously. His
flight soon becomes less energetic and
more and more uncertain until at last
he drops to the earth and gasps out his
life among the leaves and bushes, while
the bees return triumphantly to their
home
In the wild forests the honey loving
birds sometimes make an organized at
tempt to drive the bees away from their
home in the hollow trunk of a tree
They first discover the place of the hid
den treasure by following the bees on a
warm, sunny day, and if there be an
opening in the tree large enough to adj
NIT them they plunge down the hole il
body.
Then there follows a sharp conflict |
inside the tree, the birds swapping at the
bees and cutting them in two at each |
snap The only chance for the bees is to
light on the backs and sides of the
birds. If they fail to do this they are
soon routed, and the rich treasures of
sweets are captured by the enemies.
These battles terminate III various ways,
sometimes the bees and sometimes the
birds coming out victorious. Our Ami

4 Moment of Doubt.

A good many soldiers north and south
must remember moments which will
enable them to sympathize with the
spirit of a question recorded in a south
ern magazine.
On a tiresome night march a Florida
soldier, sleepy and worn out fell into
ditch by the roadside. There he lay be-
moaning his fate when the next regi-
ment came up, and hearing his means
some of the men fastened to his rescue
AS they stood him on his feet, be-
draggled and demoralized, he turned to
one of them and said:
Il say stranger, don't you think
South Carolina was a little hasty?"

Two Lunntics without A country

Secretary Carlisle has decided peculiar
case. Two Germans who emigrated to
this country several years ago subsequently
became insane. Some weeks since the
Massachusetts state lunatic asylum auth
critics sent them back to Germany, pre-
paying their passage on the Hamburg
packet company's steamer. The German
authorities refused to receive them, and
they were brought back to this country.
Secretary Carlisle has decided that the
United States government has no business
to care for the two insane immigrants,
and that the Hamburg packet company
and the Massachusetts state lunacy com
missioners must settle the matter between
them.

not until 1884 that Jay-Eye-See reduced
the record to 10, which was lowered to 9t
the same season by Maud s., and to 81 the

it down to 81, and in 1892 Nancy Hanks
scored IT. Last year she reduced the rec

A Singular Man.

The Hon. Henry Cavendish was .
mathematician, astronomer. geolo-
gist alchemist, recluse and-eccen-
tric Mr. Cavendish was intensely
shy He had quite diseased aver
sion to all and especially to female
society. The only way to get him to
speak was never to look at him.
Talk, as it were, into vacancy, then
It was not unlikely that he might he
set going. Nevertheless men were
a trouble to him and women an in.
tolerable nuisance. We mention this
as an eccentricity, but there are
doubtless many men who share his
prejudice. He avoided communica-
ton with bis female housekeeper by
depositing notes on the hall table.
A female servant he would never
see. If an unlucky maid showed her
self she was instantly dismissed. In
his villa at Clapham he had a second
staircase built so that he might pre-
vent the almost inevitable encounters
with the hated sex. To Mr.. Caven-
dish's town house IN Cover street
few visitors were admitted. The
favored ones who crossed it's thresh-
old reported that books and the neo+
essary apparatus for science stu.
dent were its chief furniture. TEN
