A PLEA FOR PLAIN FOOD.
Hints That May Save Doctors Bills as
Well as Valuable Lives.

It is not a generally understood fact. but
a fact nevertheless, that some of the
people live on the plainest food. says the
New York Ledger. There are children in
the families of millionaires who would no
more be permitted TO partake of such meals
as are given to the children of many q
laboring man than they would he allowed
to use articles that were known to be
poisonous. Many a mechanics little ones
live on meat, warm bread, all the butter
they want, and that of an inferior quality
coffee as much as they choose and cheap
bakers cake, which is in itself enough TO
ruin the digestion of an ostrich.
The children of one family make their
breakfast of oatmeal or some other cereal
and milk, with bread at least twenty-four
hours old, 4 little, very little, butter, some
times none at all. The breakfast is varied
and sometimes stale bread dipped in egg
and cracker crumbs and Drowned with but
ter. A fresh egg is often the only article
outside of farinaceous food that they are
allowed. For dinner which is in the mid
die of the day, they have some we'll cooked
meat. one or two vegetables. cup of milk
If they like it, or weak cocoa, with plenty
of bread and butter and a simple dessert.
Supper, which is a very light meal, fire.
queutly consists of graham crackers or
brown bread and milk or pudding. eaten
with Il little moasses or maple syrup.
A few days ago. in a call at the house of
n workingman. there were five children
seated at a table, on which was a large
dish of meat. swimming with gravy. in
which potatoes had been cooked. These
most impossible of digestion by any person
of ordinary constitution. There were hot
rolls soggy looking and smoking from the
oven: narsnips fried in lard and reeking
with grease. A pile of cheap cakes, sufIi-
cient to i'll a good sized four-uuart meas
ure stood on one cornor of the table: also
two pies with crust containing so much
lard that they looked absolutely greasy
There was coffee dark and rank looking
and worse smelling, and this the children
were indulEing in quite as much as they
pleased. They ate like wolves with an nm
natural md ferocious appetite. Two of
them had paSty, unhealthy looking com
pleXions: one was evidently suffering from
some skin disease: the elder of the groun
had an ugly looking eruption on his face
and ears and the entire lot were living eX-
amples of the results of a mistaken system
of feeding It was not n surprise TO the
visitor to hear. a few days later, that two
OF them were very i'll, one hopelessly So
with cholera morbus.
That the death rate among such people
does not increase with friGhtful rapidity is
the one thing that the thoughtful persons
and philanthropists never cease to wonder
at.
The parents of these children would un-
doubtedly have said that they gave the lit
tie ones the best they could afford. but this
was just exactly the cause of ali the troub-
les They gave them too much and too
expensive food. A proper diet would have
cost a third OF the money and would have
saved health and doctors bills, to say
nothing of their lives.

MEN ON HORSEBACK.
Four Whom Mr.. GoslingtOn Has Met
More or Less Lately.

From the New York Sun.
"In big CITY," said Mr.. Goslington. you
see all sorts of men on horseback. 1t is a
common thing to see truckmen riding,
mounted on one horse and it may be lead
ing another, going to the harnessmaker,s
perhaps, or the horseshoer'S: riding with
out a saddle. and very likely without
blanket, but with n seat that many more
elaborately provided horseman might envy.
You see occasionally fireman on horse
back. taking a horse to the horseshoer 8.
He rides always without a saddle. and al
most invariably without a blanket. He
wears a uniform, and he sits up straight.
like 4 soldier-he makes a pretty prim
looking figure on horseback; he is almost
certain to be 4 very good rider.
Later the same day l met one man in
rig never seen before-a painter on horse
back. You often see the painters wagon.
loaded with ladders and pots and cans of
paint, and with two or three or more men
in paint-covered oVerallS and jackets; but
this was just the horse with painter on
his back. Where he was going, or what 1t
meant, L couldn't even imagine.
Later yesterday ! met one man in the
saddle Walking down Riverside drive aft
er nightfall to get a little air and exercise
before dinner, and watching, meanwhile,
the new moon hanging low over the river.
1 heard the hoofbeats of a horse coming
up along the bride path. Presently horse
and rider came into view; man singing,
horse keeping time with his hoofs; and so
they disappeared"

AILMENTS of MODERN LIFE.
Mechanical Devices That Bring Evils
in Their Train.
the New Yn-k Trih1nn

From the New York Tribune.
just as the inventive genius of the age
has forced novelties into the higher pro-
fessions. and the expert mechanic finds his
field growing larger continually, so the
physician sees new or special diseases in
modern life. These new diseases receive
names from the lay world which are adopt
ed by the scientific people.
That has been done before, though" ;"
said physician. and railroad spine,
'nOusemaid's knee engineers ear and
'pGiEter's collie are designations which
would probably never have been given to
certain complaints if they had not been
suggested by laymen. OF course, there are
scientific names for ali.' he said. but they
are not used except in medical literature.
and then they are not so expressive. What
Latin scientific term could properly eS-
press 'policeman's sleep that condition
between sleep and wakefulness when a
man may stand or walk and still be un-
able to see a side door open or to hear
the growl of the growler?"

all the work The play will be mentioned
will be set down as a failure. There are
intermediate states. of course, but there is
generally an overbalancing tendency to-
ward one extreme or the other. A New
York first night audience is VIGOROUSLY
made uD of critics, amateur and profes-
sional. and it is small wonder that play
wriChts are afraid of them. Because of
this feeling, and in order to have n little
more time to remedy defects, 1t has be-
come n common custom to try play some
where else first. Other towns will bear eN-
periments better than this one, and the
drama which fails on the road is discreet
" kept away from New York.
