Abstemiousness at Nieht.

A writer in Italia Termale declares II
as his opinion that many persons who
remain thin and weakly, in spite Of all
precautions in regard to diet, etc., owe
the fact largely to habitual abstemious-
ness at night. The digestive organs,
he asserts, have no need for repose,
provided, always, that the quantity of
nourishment taken within the twenty.
four hours does not 60 beyond the nor
NAL limit-the fact that the intervals
between meals are short working no In
convenience, but, on the contrary, tend
ing to the avoidance Of feebleness,
which is the natural result of an inter-
val extended to too great length. Fur
ther, according to this writer, feeble
persons, those also who are lean and
emaciated, and, above all, such as suf-
ferers from insomnia, owe 1t to them
selves not to retire without taking
some nourishment into the stomach,
such as simple bread and butter, glass
Of milk, few biscuits or crackers.

Since .Carlyle's house at Chelsea was

ment in London for the preservation Of
the homes Of famous men. Among
these that of the late Lord Leighton,
President of the Royal Academy, is,
perhaps, best worth preserving on it's
own account. Lord Leighton's wealth
enabled him to indulge his artistic
views in the decoration Of his home,
and during his lifetime his handsome
residence at Kensington, adorned with
rare treasures Of art, was one Of the
sights best worth seeing in London to
those to whom the beautiful had an at

We fail In our duty to our individ
uality when we have our thinking done
for us by proxy. The pressure Of mod.
ern civilization has developed this tc
an alarming degree, says the Saturday
Evening Post. We have had the ''Stone
Age" and the Bronze Age" and the
Iron Age" and the other ages. To
day is the "Canned-Food Age" Our
opinions are formulated for us, oul
views ON political and social questions
are condensed and put in extract
FORM by our favorite paper. New
York issues its bulletins Of the literary
gods to be worshiped for the season as
London DEGREES the cut Of our clothes
The special phrases current for the
months in art and musical circles are
all given us ready for use, like our
canned foods. "Cut the can carefully
at the thin end and serve hot or cold. +"
But in this prepared sameness IL
conservation we rebel occasionally
and long for sample of individuality
something man has thought out for
himself-to feel that we are plucking
a peach from the tree where 1t has
been growing, not from can where II
has been packed. But for the most
part, this individuality, In its fresh, de
lightful form, is missing. It would be
real and living If the costly educa.
tional menu Of our schools were cut
down to a few studies with trained
thinking" constantly on the table as a
relish. But we do not get much OF
this Individual thinking; it Is done, like
all other work-by "syndicates." Man
may feel 1t Is right for him to do GER
tain thing; from his careful study of
1t in all its relations. in his honest
judgment 1t seems to him to be right.
But society will not understand 1t. He
then perhaps stands In terror before
some presbytery, social or ecclesiastic.
al; so he silences his conscience, and
bows before Public Opinion. His con-
science was his own-his duty to, his
individuality should make him obey
the dictates Of his conscience. Public
Opinion Is but a conscience owned by
a syndicate. If it were right, what
does it matter what people sayY In
the Dark Ages man stood in terror Of
one lord or master. This he called
slavery" We throw our individual
ity, our right to think for ourselves,
to the winds. We stand in terror of
a million masters, we fall PROSTATE
before society, before Public Opinion;
but this we call liberty" There Is not
in this plea for individuality in our
life the slightest trace Of anarchy in
thought. 1t Is most perfect recogni-
ton Of law and the duty Of obedience
to it, for 1t represents perfect harmony
in the three great relations of life.
The plea for individuality Is but plea
for thinking" SO that man may use
the beautiful mind that has been put
into him to the full Of its power to
serve himself. and thus serve better
society and the world.
