Meat and Bad Temper.

Mr.. Earnest Hart, aspecialist on diet,
writes: zone deplorable result of eXces-
sive meat eating in England is the ill
temper, which is chronic moral COM
plaint among us. In no country, | be-
lieve, is home rendered so unhappy
and life made so miserable by the i'll
temper of those who are obliged TO live
together as in England. If we COM
pare domestic life and manners in Eng
land with those of other countries
where meat does not form such an in
tegraI article of diet, q notable imprOv-
ement will be remarked. In less meat
eating France urbanity is the rule of
the home: in fish aud rice-eating Japan,
harsh words are unknown, and an eX-
quisite politeness to one another pre-
walls even among the children who
play together i'm the streets. In Japan
/ never heard rude, angry words spok-
en- 10y any but Englishmen. | am
strongly of the opinion that the ill-tem-
per of the English is caused, in great
measure, by a too-abundant meat diet
airy, combined with sedentary life.
The half-oxidized products of albumen
form urates and uric acid, which cir
culating in the blood, produce both
mental and moral disturbances

AHnns in the Country.

Dr. Parkhurst-
1t takes a good deal to make good
home. 1t needs something even be-
sides father and mother, and an open
fire. and the cat on the hearth. The
first element in the home is the house
itself. which needs to be distinctly diff
ferent from any other house in sight
Then there needs TO be some land
around a house before it can be ''real
honey" 1t gives play room for the
eyes as well as for the feet. A wide
range of solemn woods will do more for
a child in week than yellow bricks
and dirty paving stones will do for him
in year or ever do for him. 1t Is
great thing for a child TO grow up
within earshot of a babbling brook.
There is a kind of musicalness of spirit
that will become his in that way
that he will never be able to acquire
from piano teacher or fiddlling mas
ter. This wide range of prospect VIII
also companion him with the bright
and the more earnest moods of the
great mother earth on whose bosom he
is being nourished. He will have OPP
portunity to see the days brighten in
the east in the morning, and his soul
will unconsciously absorb some OF the
glory of the setting sun. Children
in the city hardly ever see the sun
come up or 90 down. 1t simply grows
light about the time they have to get
up, and grows dark dozen or so hours
later. To child in The country there
is likewise opportunity for him to see
il rain. There is a great difference be-
tween rain and falling water. Rain
in the city is only wetness broken loose,
and is calculated only in terms street
cleaning and aqueduct supply. a
square mile of rain or a dozen square
miles is a different matter, and Is un-
consciously construed by the child as
being a mood of natures mind rather
than a hydropathic uncorking. Still
more impressive upon the chlld mlld
are the strange communications made
to him by the lightning flashing above
him across a hundred miles of country
sky. and the weird aurora and the
swift and blazing track of falling
stars that make him feel how solemn
ly close to him is the great wonderful
world above the clouds.

From the Election Laws.

In answer to the inquiries, we print
herewith condensation Ofcertain por-
tions of the election laws of Pennsyl-
vania, having special reference TO elec-
ton officers, their election, who can
not be chosen, what constitutes an
Election Board, the manner of filling
vacancies on election day, etc:
Annually, at the election held on the
third Tuesday of February, each dis
trict shall elect one Judge and two In
spectors.
The law provides that every person,
excepting Justices of the Peace, who
shall hold any office or appointment of
profit or trust under the Government of
the United States, or rof this State, or of
any city or incorporated district, wheth-
er a commissioned officer or otherwise,
a subordinate officer or agent, WHO'S, or
shall be. employed under the Legisla-
tive, Executive, or judiciary depart
ment of this State, or of the United
States, or of any city or incorporated
district, and also that every member of
Congress, and of the State Legislature,
and of the Select and Common Coun-
ellis ofany city, or Commissioner Ofany
Incorporated district, is by law incap-
able of holding or exercising at the
same time the office or appointment of
Judge, Inspector, or Clerk of any elec-
ton in this Commonwealth, and that

Der of votes to be Judge, and the two re-

spector appoints a Clerk, who must be
qualified eiector of the district. Service
upon an Election Board in cities ex-
empts the party so serving from jury

victed of drunkenness, while in the
discharge of their duties, are liable to
imprisonment for thirty days and
fine of so and costs.
Where a vacancy, or vacancies, exist
in an Election Board, for any reason,

Mother-Wit.

A pretty long list might be made of
men who have owed their advance
ment in life to a smart answer given at
the right moment.
One of Napoleon's veterans, who sur
vived his master many years, was wont
TO recount with great glee how he had
once picked up the Emperor's cooked
hat at a review, when the latter, not
noticing that he was a private, said
carelessly, "Thank you captain" ain
what regiment, sire?" instantly asked
the ready-witted soldier.
Napoleon, perceiving his mistake,
answered with smile, ain my Guard,
for see you know how to be prompt"
The newly made officer received his
commission the next morning. A
somewhat similar anecdote is related of
Marshal Suvoroff, who, when receiv-
ing dispatch from the hands of a
Russian sergeant who had greatly dis
tinguished himself on the Danube, at
tempted to confuse the messenger by
series of whimsical questions, but found
him equal to the occasion.
"How many fish are there in the sea?
asked Suvorofr.
"All that are not caught yet" was
the answer.
''How far is it to the mOOn?'
1.-TWO of your excellency's forced
marches"
"What would you do if you saw your
men giving way in battle?"
''I'd tell them that there was a wag-
onload of whisky just behind the en-
emy's line"
Baflied at all points, the marshal
ended with whats the difference be-
tween your colonel and MYSELF"
''My colonel cannot make me lieu
tenant, but your eXcellency has only to
say the word"
~ say ii now them" answered Suvo-
roff,-''and right good officer you'll

Eh-yah, Some ways il was mid
dim lively, an other ways it was
slower than snails. Thar was no

But. take il all around, up one side an
down the other, it was what you
might call pleasant affair from start
to finish. The preacher didn't show
up at the app'inted hour, but we did
MT miss him for quite a spell, OWN to
the fact that the brides mother, who
'peaned to be an advanced woman, sor-
ter objected TO Kickapoo Pete, who
was supposed to be the groom, and got
after him with a soap paddle, or
slthin' of the kind, and chased him
all over the lot.
.tShe needn't have put herself TO the
trouble. for the bride got to thinkin'
the matter over an concluded that
she'd Jest as soon marry Three Fin
gered Babcock, who has sorter been
shinnin' around her some time before,
an she didn't know but she'd a little
sooner. Nacheral enough, this kinder
riled Kickapoo, an him an Three
Fingered got to jowerin' over it, an l
reckon they would have fought it out
if Jim Whipsaw, from the Rattlesnake
place ranch, hadn't paeified 'em and
got 'em to playin' cards to settle the
question.
''This promised to satisfy all parties
concerned. but the bride found out
that Three Fingered had put up two
dollars an sixty cents on his side
against her hand in marriage, which
Kiekapoo had staked, which made her
80 blamed mad that she swore If they
didn't value her pure affection at
more'n two dollars and sixty cents
she'd be hanged if she'd marry either
Of 'em This sorter complicated mat
tiers again, but Jim Whipsaw soothed
an comforted her, am when the
preacher showed up, 10y gosh, Miss
Daisy an Jim stepped forward, hand
in hand, TO be married.
Meanwhile Kickapoo had put up
two-sixty against Three Fingered's
stakes, an they were aplyin' along as
conteRted as a couple of kittens. They
slipped their hands into a book an
gave it TO Appetite Bill to hold while
the preacher was gittin' Off the solemn
words that made the two young hearts
one. An then, after they had con-
graduated the bride, thar came the
cali 10 supper, an so they concluded to
make il a showdown. Accordin' Ap-
petite Bill opened the book, and bur
cussed if both hands didn't consist Of
four aces an king. Thereupon they
divided the stakes an shook hands.
An then everybody adjourned to the
supper table, feelin' that it was indeed
good TO be thar. Tom. z. Morgan in

They had gathered at the home of Col.

named Albert Budd. He asked all
present to get down on their knees,
while he prayed for their salvation.
Some demurred, but finally all did as
he asked. The boy preacher then
prayed earnestly for the dancers. AZ

resume festivities, but the party broke
