fish patients to remain in bed and 80 in

to no avail. The girls found 1t impossible

Color In the Home

The modern scientific decorator assures
us that whilc ycllows are all right for u
hall or vcs.ibule they should not he used
i'll rooms where one reads or works Tho
reason assigned is that yellow does not alb
serb light, but is strong reflector, and
these reflected rays are trying TO the eyes,
but, more than that, are distinct brain dis
turl,crs. For the library or worlroom the
most soothing or satisfactory tint is coffee
The influence OF color upon tempcra-

that the treatment of living rooms is of

THE SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Miles Arc Too Insignificant to 30 Used IL
Its Computation.

Its Computation.
While 1t is interesting to know the dis
TANGO of some of the stars in miles, when
stated in that way the numbers arc so
largo that they frequently convey very in
distinct conceptions to the mind For this
reason it is customary 10 estimate stars
distances in eight years. \ light wear
Is the distance that light, moving ut tho
rate OF 1S6, 300 miles per second, travels in
one year. This amounts in round numbers
to $3.50, 600, 600, 900 miles. Tho distance
of Alpha Centaur is 1. 35 light years, that
of Sirius, the dog star Is almost exactly
twice rs great, or Sc light years. In other
words, light requires SO years to come to
us from Sirius. And these arc among the
very nearest Of the stars. Some whose
parallaxeS have been rather estimated than
measured appeared to BIO situated at a dis
tance which light could not traverse I'm less
thnn ono or two centuries. Tho great star
Arcturus, for instance, has, according to
DIR. Elkin, aparallnx of only eighteon- thou
sandths of q second. Its distance must, in
that case, be about ISL light years, OF moro
than thousand million million miles And
II its distance is SO great, then, since light
varies invcrscly Us the square of the dis
lance from its source, it can bo shown
that Arcturus must actually give forth
5000 or 5000 times us much light as tho
sun yields.
Yet Arcturus is evidently much nearer
than the vast majority of tho stars are
Not one in n million is known to have q
parallax largo enough even to be intelli-
gently guessed ut. There may be stars
whose light requires thousands instead of
hundreds Of years to cross the space scIs,-
rating them from us.
We thus SOC that only u few points on
tho nearer shores of tho starry universe lie
"lthln reach OF our mcasurcmcntS-hcro
and there u jutting hoadland, while behind
stretches the vast OK. ,anso over which the
hundreds of millions of stars known to ex-
list arc scattercd.-Garett p Serviss in

Eating to Live.

Dr. Pavy, perhaps the most eminent au-
thority upon diet, says that the average
man In state of absolute rest can live on
IL ounces Of food day. A man doing
ordinary light work can live on 90 ounces,
and man doing laborious work needs
from 26A to 80 ounces
This is food absolutely free from water,
and it must be remembered that every
thing we eat contains more or less water
SO that from IS to 80 ounces of ordinary
food arc necessary to tho work in which a
man is engaged.
Sir Lyon Playfnir, another great author
ity, gives tho following rs all TINT is ncccs-
sary for healthy man to eat In q week {:
Three pounds of meat, with one pound of
fat; two ordinary loavcs of bread, one
ounce Of salt and five pints OF milk, or,
for the meat, five or six pounds of oatmeal
may DO substituted. This sounds like star

ally knows what he's talking about

Noodles have never been supposed to t>o

physician Of cminence offers undoubtcd
evidence to the contrary. y lady acciden-
tally ran needle into her foot 80 years
ago. and it 10y apparently dormant in her
system for so many years that its existence
was almost forgotten
In 1878 she was married and o wear aft
CT tho birth of her infant daughter the
needle made Its appearance In the infant S
shoulder. There could be no doubt that
1t was the original needle by which the
mother had been attacked in 1860, for it
was of peculiar and now obsolete pat
tern, and the mother distinctly remember
ed that needles of that pattern were in use
at the time Of her attack
There could be no doubt that the infant
inherited the needle from her mother, and
that hcnceforth physicians will expect to
find natural tendency to noodles in the
tissues
AS it is asserted that people have died
from needles, although there are very few
such cases on record, the insurance COM
panics will doubtless add to the questions
which they put to candidates for insurance,
did your father or mother ever swallow

It seems to be coming-scientific ap-
proval-in all directions. DR.. Cham
poniere, member Of the Academy Of
Medicine, has made observations on
FrenchWomen who have used the wheel,
and he finds they are better performers
than men, learning more easily and
with less purposeless expenditure of
force. He finds marked increase in the
amount of muscle developed all over the
trunk Of the body, especially about the
torso. The lung capacity is increased,
full, healthy action Of the heart is re-
stored and the deposition of fat is avoid
ed The doctor asserts that he can detect
infallibly the woman who uses the
wheel from her sisters when they cross
the streets One proceeds with self con
fidence and ease when the other lodges
and invites disaster. He then examines
the mental discipline afforded by the BIZ
cycle, and thence deduces his most strik-
ing conclusions. He finds that the wom-
ants powers of attention and observation
are awakened in an extraordinary de-
gree, or rather that these powers, with
which all human beings are endowed at
birth, are saved from atrophy, which in
both sexes is one of the most marked
defects produced by civilization. The
wheelwomen move with something of
the freedom and dignity observed in
some of the higher uneivilized races.
The doctor disclaims any intention to
theorize, but at the close of his article
permits himself to dream Of new
Frenchwoman as the product Of the BIZ
"-cle.
