Seeing the Sights.

Even in these days of liberal educa-
ton young women sometimes show
how confused are the ideas shut up in
their heads. Illustrative of this is the
naive blunder which Edmondo de
Amicis %recounts in his story of a voy-
age from Genoa to Buenos Ayres:
The captain of the steamer which
numbered the charming young blum
derer among it's passengers met her II
morning and said:
"Signorina, we cross the tropic of
cancer today

thusiasm. "Then we shall see some

Too Much Eating.

Gluttony has it's victims, hardly less
numerous than other vices. To overeat
is to overburden the digestive organs to
such an extent that it will be impossi-
BILE for them to perform their duties
properly. Deleterious products are Gre
ated, and health is finally destroyed. A
prominent judge used to say such men
dig their graves with their teeth-and
it is So. On the other hand, there are
those who eat too little. All extremes
are evils that experience should govern.

George Meredith in a letter to The
Harvard Monthly has a suggestive
word to say of the work of the novelist:
II think that all right use of life, and
the one secret Of life, is to pave ways
for the firmer footing of those who sue
coed us, and as to my works, l know
them faulty, think them of worth only
where they point and aid to that end
Close knowledge of our fellows, dis
cernment of the laws of existence
these lead to great civilization" Mr..
Meredith's conception is the noble and
true one. But he is too modest. In
breadth, depth, variety and sure clutch
at the heart of things, he of all modern
writers is entitled to be called the
Shakespeare of prose fiction.

Slow Eating May BE Bad.

According to The Journal Of Mental
and Nervous Diseases, slow eating is
as bad as fast eating. "The important
point is not that we eat slowly or fast,
but that when we do eat we chew with
energy. Of course where the haste is
due to some mental anxiety this may
injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow
eating begets a habit of simply mum
bling the food without really masticat.
ing it, while the hurried eater is in
clined to swallow his food before proper
mastication. Hence hurried eating is
bad, but rapid mastication is advan-
tageous. 1t concentrates our energies
Oh the act in question, and hence more
thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover,
energetic chewing stimulates the secre-
ton of saliva in the most favorable
tanner. These various points are so
commonly misunderstood, at least by
the laity, that they demand our fire.
