 The following rules for good living were given by Dr. N. w. Rand at a recent talk on "Physiology" before the teachers of the Monson schools. They certainly are simple enough to allow their adoption by everyone:
 Eat plenty of plain, nutritious food, slowly and at regular hours, three times day.
 Drink little or nothing with meals; at other times drink freely of pure water. It constitutes the bulk of our bodies, and, next to air, is the greatest necessity of life.
 People under 10 should eat no confec- tiOnery, nor rich pastry.
 People under 20 should drink no tea nor coffee.
 People under 60 should drink no fer mented or spirituous liquors of any kind.
 People under 100 should use no tobacco, opium, distilled liquors nor drugs of any description unless needed as medicines.
 Go to bed and rise at regular hours; take plenty of time for sleep, and in a we'll ventilated room. Iris better to sleep this side the grave than the other.
 Take regular daily exercise in the open air.
 Dress comfortably. Wear nothing that obstructs the circulation or prevents the 1 free expansion of the chest. Keep clean-both in body and mind, in thought and act. Impurity within or without is deadly poison.
 Follow faithfully some useful and agree able vocation.
 Remember that moderation, regularity of habits, purity of life, self-forgetfulness and hopeful heart will do more to pro- mote health and happiness than all the drugs of the doctors.
 One of the New York Herald pressmen, a man who had work ed for the elder Ben nett, and was an excellent workman, though guilty of an occasional lapse from sobriety, had bad black eye, and was in a quandary as to what excuse he should offer if MT. Bennett noticed it. Acting on sudden inspiration, he seized s-ink roller and rubbed daub of ink On the side of his face, completely concealing the discoloIatlon of the skin. Presently MT. Bennett came into the pressroom, and with the superintendent, John Hays, went carefully through, criticising every detail and looking at each employe. When about to leave he turned suddenly, and, pointing to the besmirched pressman, he said:
 "Mr. Hays, what is that mans name ?"
 The culprit quaked in his shoes until MT. Bennett said, slowly:
 ''I want you to give that man $3 per week more wages he is the only man in the room who looks as if he had been working"

 MT. Davis came to Stafford, Jan. 26.
 Not long ago was walking in the gar den at Hawarden with MT. Gladstone. What would you do with that?" he said suddenly, pointing to bit of newspaper lying on the lawn. "I think I'd pick it up and take it away" I answered, aston ished. "Ah! Well, this is what I do with it," said MT. Gladstone. Thereupon he placed the point of his walking stick on the middle of the scrap of paper twist ed the stick round and round, and with much dexterity left the bit of paper in the soil and out of sight. "The Duke of Buccleuch taught me to do that" he said as we resumed our walk. "It is good for the ground"
 The famous "pen-and-ink man," who has been bothering the treasury for many years, is still getting in his deadly work I During the last year two treasury notes of his workmanship, for $1O0 each, have turned up. Both were executed in his e usual artistic style, being done wholly with pen and brush. Nobody would hes- itate to take them. No clew has ever been found to the identity of this extra @ ordinary criminal, who seems to Iucsue ? his fad purely for the sake of recreation. s It cannot possibly pay as an indus ry,
