THE ART OF EATING.
Three Good Rules Based GU Hygienic
PrinCtpleR,

Princtplts.
Never cit down to the table with
an anxious or disturbed mind; make
1t point to lay aside all worry for
the time being, and indulge In all the
gayety and pleasantly possible dur
Ing meal time. There WAS good
philosophy In the old time custom Of
having a buffoon or music at the
dinner table.
Never sit down to a meal immedi-
ately after any intense mental effort,
for physical aud mental misery are
inevitable, and no one has right to
deliberately injure body or mind.
Never go to a full table during
bodily exhaustion-design by
some as being used up, over-done,
worn out, tired to death, and the
like. The wisest thing TO he done
under such circumstances 10 to take
a cracker and a cup of warm tea,
and no more. In ten minutes you
will feel a degree of refreshment that
will be pleasantly surprising to you
not of the transient kind which a
glass of liquor affords, but perman-
ent. The tea gives present stimula
ton and little strength, and before 1t
subsidies, nutriment begins to draw
fl ON the sugar and crea m and ccack-
er, thus allowing the body gradually
and by safe degrees to retain Its
| usual vigor. A little later a full meal
may be taken with benefit instead Of
injury

on the new suede gloves is rather heav-
Ter than last season and frequently
shows n com binntion of black inter-
mixed with the shade of the glove. The
