is spoken of:aOh, he can't Lave much
the matter with him. He eats well
and, therefore, he must be all right
AS a matter of fact, although a good
appetite is sometimes considered as
"a test Of the state Of the health, it is
not an invariable test, for often those
who are seriously i'll have good appe-
tites. This is the case with many
consumptiv and others, but a per-
son with a bad appetite is not in good
health there is something wrong with
him. Il 5 h
Appetite and hunger are generally.
used synonymously, but hunger is more
than appetite; it is imperious, but is
allayed after eating What is the best
thing to do when the appetite Wanes?s

Gov. Fosters Opinion.

The city papers published on
Sunday an interview with Gov!
Foster relative to the constitutional
convention. After touching upon
the various points, principal among
which were the"retorm of the Judi
ciary, the Improvement III provision
for the public schools and the
change in suffrage. The Governor
rightly voices the sentiment OF the
best people in the State wien he
contends that tho suffrage is the
most important subject to come be-
fore the convention. Indeed, it is
so important III his opinion that he
thinks that when the convention
meets ali other matters s|lould be
tabled until this Que is settled.
The Governor is quite right. The
reform Of. the suffrage is of first
Importance. Old conditions are
passing: away. and new ones con-
front US ,;.nd demand this change
as u futnre safeguard to the con-
seryation of tue ,bqstinterests OF the
commonwealth, :'t} a preservation
Of the higher liberties OF hepeop'e.
But not only OH account OF its
Importance, but as a means OF time
saving add afmatter Of expediency
| it should be: first considered upon
the meeting OF the convention. 1t
is the burning question of the hoar.
and until it is settled other subjects
would receive only a perfunctory
Hand careless atteation.
We are glMe to see the' Governor
express himself so enthusiastically
upon this point, for although hi'
sentiments in general were known
vet he has been so misrepresente'
and nmligned that it is good It

views,~ar once vind'cating him. an'
