A PROPER DIET.
AvOIdabIe Errors Are Responsible for
Many Diseases.

AvOIdabIe Errors Are Responsible for
Many Diseases.
The nature and quantity of an appro-
pirate diet must depend largely upon
ones age, individual constitution, oc-
cupation, habits of life and, to some ex-
tent, upon the climate in which one
lives. An active child IL or Is years
old, who is growing fast and exercising
freely, may require and assimilate as
much food as, a man past middle age.
In health, the appetite may be taken
as fair guide, and the child will sell
dom eat too much if he is taught to eat
very slowly, and thoroughly to chew
each mouthful.
Throughout the school years the
growth of the body is continually going
on, and, therefore, if proper develop
ment is to be maintained, the food must
pc abundant and of a character to fur
nish new tissues and to yield energy in
the form of heat and muscular activity.
The full adult weight is not usually
attained before the 25th year, although
in some instances it is reached earlier.
When the growth of the body and the
development of the vital organs are
completed, the use of food consists sim
ply in maintaining the proper equili-
brium of the tissues by replacing waste
with new material, and in furnishing
fuel for the development of force.
AS men advance in life, become pros
porous, and perhaps acquire more lux
urious habits of living, they are apt to
take less exercise and, at the same time,
TO be constantly tempted to indulge in
food which is not needed and which is
imperfectly consumed in. the body.
On the other hand, quite as much i'll
may result from eating too little as
from overindulgence. In either case
the difficulty is made serious by long
continuance.
So great is the force of habit over the
different organs of the body that the
stomach and intestines will usually re-
ject undigested the contents of an oc-
cassional excessive meal, whereas with
habitual overeating they become ac-
customed to appropriating large guam
titles of food, which are absorbed, but
which cannot be eliminated without
severely taxing the organs of eXcretion.
Frequently the excess is stored up in
the body and goes on accommodating until
the system rebels, and a violent bilious
attack, by vomiting and purging, brings
relief
1t is no exaggeration to say that
avoidable errors in diet are responsible
for more than half the disease which
embitters the middle and latter part of
life.-Youth's Companion.

Lightning Fired a Church.

QUEBEC, July 5.-A terrific thunder
storm which passed over the Lake st.
John district caused loss of life and con-
siderable damage to property. Owing
to the storm the wires are in demoral-
lied condition, but it is learned that at
John Queries lightning struck the
parish church while high mass was be-
ing celebrated. A portion of the roof
was ripped off, two altars upset and the
officiating priest stunned.
Then it was discovered that the build
ing was on fire, and the whole congrega-
tion at once became panic stricken, A
mad rush was made for the doors, dur
ing which one man was trampled under
foot and killed and many persons were
injured.
The church was burned to the ground,
making the third church fred by
lightning and destroyed in the Lake st.
John district within two weeks.

POINTS ON sNAILs.
Nothing Meteoric But Much That Is Ins

Nothing Meteoric But Much That Ls In-
terestIng In Their Career.
The Smithsonian institution has hit
upon something extraordinary in
snails The creatures may be slow,
bnt they hold the record over all other
animals for prolonged vitality under
adverse conditions, says the Provi-
dence Journal S stories of toads dug
out of rocks in which they had been
imprisoned for ages are 'apocryphal;
but recent discov cry has established
the credit of this humble mollusk as
No. in the tenacity of life.
Only the other day a specimen from
an island off the coast of Lower Cali
fornia, inclosed in drawer with part
of the molluscan collection, was found
to be alive. 1t had no food or water
for more than six years. When placed
in the box with moist earth it pro-
truded its feet, began to move about,
and seemed to be ps well as ever.
Some time ago few snails of a differ
ent species, gathered in Mexico,
reached the Smithsonian institution
and were placed in a box. They re-
manned undisturbed for two years and
three months, at the end of which
time they were put into a jar of glass
with some chickweed and a small
quantity of tepid water. Pretty soon
they walked up and appeared quite ac-
tive.
Pond snails, which are sometimes
found alive in logs of mahogany from
Honduras, possess equal endurance.
Specimens carried from Egypt to
Paris. packed in sawdust, have arrived
uninjured. Other kinds have been ex-
perimented with by shutting them UP
in pill boxes and dry bags for years,
but they have survived. The limit of
their vitality is yet to be ascertained.
Land snails in cold climates bury
themselves in the ground or under
lead leaves in winter; in tropical re-
gionS they become torpid during the
hot season. When about to start in
on a period of sleep they seal up their
shells with a close-ftting door, which
sometimes is Il shield of thin, tran
sparent 1nucus, and in other cases an
opaque raernbrance as thicl; as a visit
ing card. Behind this the animal con-
stIuct:s other walls, which serve like
so m5ely partitions to protect it against
prolonged cold or dryness.
It is believed that just as the seeds
of plants are distributed by winds, so
likewise the eggs of snails are scattered
abroad on the brcczes. thus dissent
mating their species. They are very
prolific animals. Some of the great
land snails of the tropics, which live
on trees and weigh pound apiece, lay
eggs that look strikingly like those of
pigeons, being quite as large. The
eggs are deposited among decaying
vegetation, the heat of decomposition
Matching them.

that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing eff
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for

THE YANKEE BIRD.
Facts About the Origin Of the
Christmas Turkey.
Our Barnyard Gobbler Is Not the Direct
Descendant of American Stock,
But = Relative Imported
from Mexico.

Among the luxuries belonging to the
high conditions of civilization exhi-
bited by the Mexican nation at the
time of the Spanish conquest was the
possession by Montezuma of one of
the most extensive geological gardens
on record, says the Washington Star.
1t embraced nearly all OF the animals
of that country, with others brought
at great cost from distances. 1t is
stated by historians that turkeys
called by the Spanis;I a,lrcsttr;rcrs "a
kind of peacock far-.:s.,led in
large numbers as feed TO the aeasts of
prey in the cmperor's Ilona: :Sc;'',.
At that time the bird llai been do
mesticated and reared III Mexico for
hundreds of years. Ii was carried by
the Spaniards to the West Indies,
whence it was taken to Europe early
in the sixteenth century. Before long
it became in Europe highly appreciated
for it's flavor. Being known to be Of
foreign origin. a report gained ground
that the fowl had been obtained from
Turkey, that being Il region little
known in western Europe. In this
way it obtained the name by which it
has since been designated.
People coming to the United States
from Europe brought this Mexican
fowl to the United States, and the
progeny of the stock thus imported
and fetched back to the continent
whence it was originally derived fur
nishes Yankee tables to-day. In fact,
the contemporary turkey of the barn
yard did not belong here originally
1t is not derived from the wild turkey
of the United States, which is quite
on
the breast and other differences plain
ly distinguishable. On the other hand,
the wild Mexican turkey has white
meat on the breast and resembles our
tame turkey in all other points.
There are two species of wild turkey
in North America One is confined to
United States, while the other is native
to the Rocky mountains, parts of
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona,
and extends along eastern Mexico
southwark. biologists were a long
time finding this out, being puzzled
meanwhile to. account for the marked
difference in color and habits between
the wild and domestic birds of the
country. That a dark-meated fowl
should acquire white meat through do
mestication would seem indeed surpris-
ing.
In its wild state the Mexican turkey
derives nourishment from plants and
insects, scratching with its feet for
food. 1t is very shy. The birds live in
families like wild geese, keeping SEN
tinels on the watch when the flock is
feeding. They are so heavy that they
are not fond of taking fight, but the
swiftest dog cannot overtake them in
running. The female lays from three
to twelve roundish, red-spotted eggs,
and matches them out in thirty days.
In Yucatan and northern Guatemala
this bird is replaced by a third species,
less in size, but more striking in ap-
pearance, the tail having spots some
what like the "eyes'' in the tail of a
peacock.
