Easy OF Digestion and q Wholesome Arti-
Gle of Diet.
1t has been frequently stated that fish
diet by virtue of the phosphorus which 1t
contains, is eminently adapted to nour-
ish tho brain, and that those who subsist
on it largely are distinguished for their
brightness and intellectually. 1t Is per-
fectly true that a small percentage Of phos-
phorus enters into the composition of the
healthy brain, and while it is also true
that fish contains more or less phosphorus
that may and probably does pass into the
circulation it is yet to be proved either by
theory or by experience that diet of fish
is on the whole better adapted to supply
the waste Of the brain than O liberal yari-
ETY. of other alimentary substances and
especially of meats. Fish is easy Of diges-
ton and creates little vascular excitement
and consequently forms a light and whole
some article of diet. Salt water fish are the
best of any, as their flesh Is more solid,
more agreeable and healthy less exposed
to putrescence and less yiscid. They pos
sess these excellent qualities when fresh.
When sailed, they have all the properties
of salt fish and consequently its disadvan-
tages.
Those fish which have scales arc in gen.
eral the most easily digested and the best,
and of oil these fish the fresh herring ap-
pears to deserve the preference. Tho her.
ring, Goldfish, turbot and founder are per-
haps the most digestible and best of fish.
Salmon and mackerel, lobster and most
other kinds of shellfsh are moro difficult
of digestion. The mode Of cooking fish is
OF considerable Importance. Frying them
In oil or lard Is an Objectionable process.
In general the process of boiling is best
adapted to render them wholesome Slowed
fish should be avoided by the dyspeptio.
Acid sauces and pickles render fish more
wholesome for the stomach, while butter
has tendency to prevent digestion, while
spice and salt used In moderate quantities
facilitate the digestive process. One Of the
best sauces that can be used with fish il

Ages of Marriage.

Better than fortune teller's predictions
is the table recently prepared by stats.
tician by which one can foretell the prob
able age of ones future helpmeet-that is
to say, he has tabulated the age at which
men at various stages in their life prefer
their wives to be. Young men of IS and
10 years, it seems, generally select wives
of their own age, but with increasing
years comes wisdom, and at 90 man pre-.
fers woman of from 81 to "a years. This
indeed seems to be a very desirable age for
an unmarried woman, for it remains the
favorite for the man in search of wife
until he has passed his twenty ninth year.
At 80 he likes best the women who ara
anywhere from five years to one year
younger than himself, and he is constant
in this preference up to his fortieth year.
Then he is willing that she shall be as
much as ten years younger than himself,
but will not have her if she be his equal in
years, an opinion which he holds for half q
decade. At from As to so he looks for less
disparity, preferring women from 40 to 45,
and in the next five years he has the same
choice. Thereafter he prefers woman ten
years younger than himself. -San Fran

the house was compelled to adjourn

trouble arises from the position as

The recalcitrant Republicans have a
candidate for the speakership in the

HOW TO AVOID LIGHTNING.

What should we do when caught in q

Campbell swinton says lightning Is
most apt to strike projecting objects--for

ought to keep clear Of trees, just as you
would keep clear of hayriok Similarly
If You are In q fiat spaoe-take q farmer g
field-you should make yourself as little
an objective as possible. If everything
about is level, you yourself become the pro-

ground, or, even better, get into hole
"a person who took shelter In a hole, .
Campbell Swinton continued, would be
absolutely safe, should think. Even If
the lightning were to strike the ground
near by its power would scatter SO much
that he would hardly DO likely to como to
harm. Then, II you are In a house while
thunderstorm is raging, the safest shell
ter would be found in the cellar-that is,
far away from the objective parts Of the
building. For myself, am rather skep-
tical how many folks would care to crawl
into hole or plunge into cellar. You
see, the risk to life and limb in England
from lightning is very small indeed so
small that the average man would run 1t
rather than disturb himself .

Golden Text, "The people which sat
in darkness saw great light" Matt.
A.: 16.
After John had been delivered up
to prison by Herod Jesus began His
preaching with the same words that
His messenger had used, Repent,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand" A new era had begun, and
therefore need for men to change
their minds about their relation to
God. The good tidings of great
joy to all people had come announce
ing Gods love as the reason for the
gift of His Son. "For God so loved
the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whosoever be-
lieveth in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.'
1t was therefore mans place now
to change his whole thought and
conduct, and to "believe on Him
whom he hath sent" For the King
was not here, and His Kingdom at
hand. He came unto His own and
His own received Him not" and
the Kingdom was postponed, but
still at hand, and coming, as many
believers pray, "Thy Kingdom
come"
Jesus, walking by the Sea of
Gallilee, saw two BRETHREN Peter
and Andrew, fishing, and called
them. "They strsightway left their
! nets and followed Him." as they
were now called to catch men unto
eternal life.
Jesus gave this same call to two
other brothers, James and John who
were in a boat with their father
mending their nets, and they also
left their work and their father to
follow Him.
Sand Jesus went about all CALI
lee, teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the good news of the
Kingdom, and healing all manner of
sickness He not only talked of
Heaven but served to make earth
like it.
"He went about doing good.p
"Whithersoever He entered, into
villages, or cities, or country, they
laid the sick in the streets, and be-
sought Him that they might touch
If it were but the border of His gar
nent; and as many as touched Him
were made whole"
And when He shall come back
again, as He has promised, to those
who believe in Him, to "set up a
Kingdom which shall never be de-
stroyed," "the streets of the city
shall be full of boys and girls. play
ing, "@the inhabitants shall not say
am sick" "Thine eyes shall see
the King in His beauty, ''"when the
Lord OF hosts shall reign in Mount
Zion and in Jerusalem sFor the
earth shall be full of the knowledge
