ENEMIES OF ENGLAND.

Great Britain Has Fought and Conquered
Three Great Potentates.
The three greatest potentates of mod
ern times have been England's strenu-
GUS antagonists-viz., Philip H., Louis
XIV. and Napoleon. OF these three Ma
poleon was the most powerful, says
Blackwood's Magazine, Philip the most
deadly. The leaders under whom the
English rallied against these world ia
nous monarchs were, first, Elizabeth
and Drake; second. William and Marl-
borough; Third, Pitt and Nelson. The
result of the first of these great has
toric duels was to overturn the founda-
tons of Spanish empire, with it's do
minion over the seas, its vast colonial
posse ssiouS, its claim under "A papal
bull TO an exclusive monopoly of the
new world. The result Of the second was
TO decide which should be the rcsiduary
logatee OF the deceased Spanish power,
Trance or England; giving in the end
the succession to its Old world domin-
ions TO France. its trade, maritime su-
premacy and colonies mainly to Eng
land.
The result Of the third was to shat.
ter Napoleon's hopes of ascendancy by
sea, and to force him back on European
conquests, upon projects which related
to the old world and not to the new.
Pitt and Nelson did not disappear un-
til that end was attained and England S

closing words, saved herself by her

Microbes on Paper Currency Destroyed

The fair metropolitan cashier has

HOW TO GET FAT.
Directions For Diet Exercise and Rules
! For Living.

Directions For Diet Exercise and Rules
! For Living.
You must make point of going to
bed early. You must get up equally
late in tho morning and take leisurely
bath. Do not have it hot, only mildly
tepid. Instead Of your early cup of tea,
take one of new milk with sugar in it.
For breakfast take we'll sweetened cocoa
that is half cream and milk. Eat plenty
of bread and butter, and take oatmeal
and cream, fish, eggs and bacon, or cold
pork. Lie down or rest for half an hour
after all your meals For lunch and
dinner take as much farinaceous food as
possible and as many sweet things as
possible without running your digestion.
Pork is very fattening, but it must be
eaten very sparingly, and then when
cold, as it is very apt to make the skin
greasy and coarse. Much meat is not fat
forming, but you must of course take a
certain amount of it, which must be of
the very best quality.
You should only take meat which has
been freshly killed. All root vegetables
are more fat forming than any others,
carrots, parsnips and beets especially
SO, as we'll as potatoes. Puddings made
of sage, rice and tapioca should be eat
en- in preference to any others. You
may allow yourself cup of black coffee
after lunch, and glass of either good
old claret or burgundy at dinner.
Above all things you must have your
meals at regular hours, and always sit
down to them punctually. You must eat
your food slowly and masticate it well,
and lingcr over your meals. Never
hurry through them.
AS to exercise, you must take mod
crate amount of it daily, but never so
as to Overture yourself. Gentle walking
and driving are better than any other
kind of exercise. Riding and bicycling,
if INDUCED in, must only be taken very
moderately and quietly, and not every
day.
Violent games must be gone in for
with extreme caution and moderation,
and entirely given up when you first
begin the cure. You must not overwork
the brain in any way, and never read
exciting books late at night, or talk too
much before going to bed.
Never worry about anything, Keep
cheerful and cultivate a good temper
Do not wear heavy clothing and be most
careful never to sleep under q pile Of
bedclothes nor to keep your window
closed at night Do not eat between
meals, but have your food served at
moderate distances from each other, and
eat plentifully when you are having
them.

The horse market, brought about In

nobody cares to trade horses any more,
and he Is driven to other methods of
earning a livelihood.
Luckily for him he has various re-

undertakes to teach young men mathe-
matics, penmanship and even telegra-
ply. He gets pupils, too, young me
chanics who wish to learn something Of
arithmetic or algebra, and occasionally
one that has fancy for learning teleg-
