A Sufficient Diet.

A quart Of milk, three-duarters Of a
pound of moderately fat beef-sirloin,
for instance-and five ounces of wheat
-four, all contain about the same amount
of nutritive material, but we pay very
different prices for them, and they have
different values for nutriment. The
milk comes nearest to being a perfect
food. 1t contains all of the different
kinds of nutritive materials that the
body needs. Bread made from the
wheat flour will support life. 1t con-
tains all the necessary ingredients for
nourishment, but not in the proportions
best adapted for ordinary use. A man
might live on beef alone, but it would
be a very Il sided and imperfect diet,
but meat and bread together make the
essentials of a healthy diet. Such are
the results of experience, and the adj
vancing science of later years explains
them. This explanation takes into ac-
count not simply quantities of meat
and bread and milk and other materials
which we eat, but also the nutritive in
gradients or nutrients which they
contain.-New York Ledger.

Excessive Coffee Drinking,

The Moors are inveterate coffee drink
srs, especially the merchants, and they
sit in their bazaars and drink c~ontinu-
ously the whole day long. 1t has been
noticed that almost invariably, when
these coffee drinkers reach the age of 40
or 45, their eyesight begins to fail, and
by the time they get to be so they be-
come blind. One is forcibly impressed
by the number of blind men seen about
the streets of the city of Fee, the capital
of Morocco, and this is invariably at
tributed to the excessive use of coffee -

Maiden Speeches.

Sheridan, one of the greatest of Brit
ish orators and who entered parliament
after a conspicuously% successful literary
career, so nearly broke down in his
maiden effort that the general verdict
pronounced upon him was that mature
never intended him for an orator."
Brougham and Canning were equally
unsuccessful, and many of the most
celebrated speakers of the present day
displayed no signs of oratory when they
appeared for the first time before the
critical assembly at st. Stephens.
MI. G~ladstone's maiden speech, de-
livered Feb. 81, 1888. was a nervous.
hesitant and almost inaudible effort.

Loving Gun PrODrietiea.

l have not seen any loving cup passed
that is true to it's name. The loving cup
originated as a matter of precaution in
olden times, when apparent friends had
m unpleasant method of killing a friend
who was a rival while he was drinking.
So an immense heavy cup vas made with
2 heavy cover. The method of using it
can still be witnessed at banquets at the
Mansion House in London.
The person receiving it stands and
turns to his neighbor, who also rises
and takes the cover with both hands.
The first person then raises the heavy
cup to his lips with both hands, and,
having slipped Of the contents, holds it
while the friend at his side replaces the
cover and takes the cup, repeating the
same process iii turn with his next
neighbor. Thus, both hands being occu-
pied, there is no possibility of one friend
stabbing another.
In our time the custom has degener-
ated, and the cover, as a rule, disap-
peared. Nevertheless if both hands were
occupied that would not prevent tongues
from wagging later, and words are
sometimes sharper than swords.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

A Unique Sign.

A sign which was productive of much
discussion was read by the patrons of a
small laundry establishment in a Mas
sachusetts town.
1t was printed in large letters on a
piece of brown paper and pinned to the
door of the shop. 1t ran thus:
"Closed on account of sickness till
next Monday, Or possibly Wednesday. l
am not expected TO live. Shall be IN
able to deliver goods for at least a
week in any CASE"

Fire and Water.

Water will ~extinguish a fire because
the water forms a coating over the fuel,
which keeps it from the air, and the
conversion Of water into steam draws
off the heat from the burning fuel. A
little water makes a fire %tie1cer, while
a large quantity of water puts it out
The explanation is that water is COM
posed of oxygen and hydrogen. When
therefore the fire can decompose the
water into its simple elements, it serves
as fuel to the flame.

The Transformed Pythagorean.

Some undergraduates once wished to
play a practical joke upon a man who
was a disciple of Pythagoras, so one day
when he was a little sleepy by reason
of the amount of brandy and soda that
he had imbibed his friends smeared him
with honey and rolled him in the in
side of feather bed. When the disciple
Of Pythagoras got up in { , morning,
he looked in the looking glass at him
self and said slowly, with a whistle,

Taste of Boiled Water.

water tand milky of uncertain purity
Professor Bizzozero combats the preju-
dice against boiled water as a beverage.

scarcely be due to the absence of dis

of great depth often contains very little.

Long Lived Germans.

1t is interesting to recall the e~xtraor-
binary longevity of the three founders
Of the German empire. William 1 was
81, Moltke was also 81 and Bismarck
was SO, but indeed all the most %illustri-
GUS Germans of the latter half century
have been long lived. Ranke was 81 (;
Ourtius was 70; Mommsen is 81. The
poet Geibel was 70, Wagner was 20,

Hay was not a profitable crop 20
many farmers last year. and this fact
was due IN part 20 carelessness and
TOO large acreage. Weedy meadows
were allowed 70 stand everywhere.
The owner of small farm. holding
each field 90 account. was master Of
the situation. Where the grass was
fairly promising. excepting on account
OF white-top and other like weeds. the
fields were cleaned Of filth with hoe
or scythe before the growth OF grass
was hurt. Where the meadow was
not worth the labor of cleaning the
growth Of grass aud weeds was turned
under for manure. aud the field was
put into shape for profitable crops in
the future. There was income from a
clean meadow. or field was being
improved so that income would be
gotten As soon as possible The foul
meadow, hardly worth the labor of
.utting, did not, or should not. exist
az a source OF loss. Could this course
have been pursued generally. fewer
tons would have been better. and,
best Of all. vast acreage OF land
would have been put into better shape
for the future. instead of remaining
covered with a mass Of weed seeds.
