ERRORS IN LIVING.


Mans Exeessivs Appetite and tho BodyS
Capacity For Food.
To the lay mind nothing seems to an.
CUR 40 strongly in favor Of robust health
a. hearty appetite. Furthermore.
there would seem to be strong con-
viction IL the public mind, sanctified
by tradition FROM time almost imme-
mortal, that the more man eats the
better he is. The quantity Of food that
many people naturally eat Is very large
az compared with their actual physi.
illogical requirements. Ada to this the
many tempting forms in which food is
presented to the palate by our modern
culinary arts, the sharpening Of the mp
petite by the anteprandial cocktail, tho
stimulus afforded the appetite by bot.
tie Of good wine, and the result Is often
the consumption of IN amount Of food
that simply overwhelms tho assimila'
tive organs. Such indulgence, IL unre-
stricted and habitual, taxes both the as.
similative and the excretory organs to
their highegt capacity, especially when
coupled with sedentary life, and, more
over, II lends an additional impetus to
tho evils springing from tho uso Of i'm
proper quality Of food.
Tho human celebrating and cxcretory
mechanism was evidently adjusted for
ordinary wear and tear to an average
limited period OF about 70 years. I'm
dor 40 per cent of extra work wo must
naturally expect impairment or break
down OF tho mechanism much earlier.
It should therefore excite no special
surprise that 30 large proportion of our
we'll to do people die from Bright's dis
ease, heart failure and allied diseases ut
80 or So who should, and under prop
erly regulated lives and habits would,
have attained the natural ago Of 10 or
over. Paradoxical though II my seem,
such people usually spring from cxccp-
tiona.'y healthy stock and often point
with pride to tho fact that their imme-
diato ancestors lived to advanced ages
Of so years or more. This paradox how
ever, is more apparent than real, for in
vestigation will usually reveal tho fact
that for the most part tho parents In
such cases were people Of moro simple
habits, such M corresponded with New
England lifo 70 or 100 years ago.
Tho truth IL that tho well to do man
Of today lives in faster ago than that
Of his father and grandfather. Io meets
with greater opportunities and posi-
bilities and therefore greater stimulus
TO all his energies. He moro easily nc
quires peouniary resources, ond IN
larger amounts, and therefore he pos
sesses greater luxurics Of domestic life.
With these come greater temptations to
excess. While he has often inherited u
splendid constitution from his anccs-
tors. unlike them ho has run his phys
ioal mechanism Mt n breakdown rate,
and ii must Of necessity more quickly
wear out. Charles W, Purdy, M. d..

Feat Of a Pet Monkey.

Some time ago there was a lady in
London for the season who was we'll
known in the French fashionable world
One day she happened to see monkey
in the street begging, in the prettiest
manner possible. for the benefit of its
master, an organ-grinder She took a
and dressed it in the gaudiest of raj
ment, and it soon became a great pet.
Some little time afterward the lady
held a fashionable reception for the
benefit of some charity, and, of course,
her pet was the wonder of the room.
In the course of the evening young
lady SAT- down at the piano, and, accom-
panying herself, sang with exquisite
taste a little drawing-room song. AS
soon as the lady had finished the
monkey. who, though now partially
civilized, had not forgotten his former
duties, seized a gentleman's silk hat
and holding it before each guest. ac-
cording to his custom, commenced a
collection.
The vocalist laughed, the hostess
looked very vexed. but, to the amuse-
ment of everybody. the monkey went
the rounds and collected n large sum.
His task ended, he jumped upon the
singers shoulders, amidst shouts of
laughter, and deposited the contents of
the hat in her lap. The collection, OF
course, was devoted to the charity, but
it was as much as the hostess could
do to persuade her guests that the trick
had not been previously practiced by
her.-Weekly Telegraph.
