The prouer way to Eat.

At recent meeting of medical men
DIR. F. A. BURIAL spoke Of the amount
OF mischief done by the very common
habit Of eating the meals rapidly, ac-
eording to the farmers motto Of "Quick
to eat and quick to work" Thorough
mastication was of the utmost impor-
tance, and. of course, this presupposed
O proper condition of the teeth. Gas
trio digestion was often weakened and
much distress was caused by the in
gestion of too much fluid with the food,
particularly at the beginning Of meal.
Another factor In causing dyspepsia
was The habit of eating food In silence,
or without that mirth and good fellow
ship so necessary to insure nervous
condition favorable to the normal ac-
tion of the digestive organs. These
little details might seem trite and un-
important, but twas the duty Of til
careful physician to instruct his pa
tients in regard to them. The long
continued and free use Of digestive
agents served to make the digestive or.
gans lazy and inactive. Medical REQ.

quote his remark on Prince Bismarck's
contempt of mankind:
.sThe begging letters addressed to
man like Prince Bismarck number thou
sands. Some time ago, when he was Ill
ut yarzin, all the letters addressed To-
him that were not Of q strictly private
nature were sent back to Berlin to be
read and answered there. The majority
Of them contained most obedient' re-
quests, but hardly one of the writers
had nyclaim on the prince. One OF the
officials whose business 1t was to read
those letters-an orderly man and evil
IDENTIFY a lover Of statistics-amused
himself by drawing up list of al the
petitions for money. The total amount
Of the sums begged for was 100000
marks. The prince did not laugh when
this was told him, but shrugged his
shoulders and put on look of bitter
contempt. On the other hand, 1t is
natural that quiet. decent, self-respect-
ing people. who ask nothing Of him aid
do not wish to trouble him with their
private affairs, never come into contact
with him unless they stand in some of
sficial relation to him or have real busi-
ness to transact with him. Soitis quite
natural that he sees q great deal Of the
low side of human nature, and 1t is
hardly surprising that he is said to have
become skeptical. and even misan-
thropic. Prince Bfgmark is certainly
well aware that there are many very
honorable people In the world. but ex-
perience has taught him that 1t is his ILL.,
luck to have intercourse with COM
paratively small number of them. He
ciings firmly to the few men and women
he trusts because he knows them to be
his true friends; but he Is suspicious OF
strangers. His first thought syhen he
sees new face may naturally be:
ssgsg,ell. what does the man want OF naas2 e
This explains why ne il generally
feared; though his intimate friends
warmly testify to his friendliness and
neutrality-suspicious. Standard.

MONKS or HIGH DEGREE.

German Monastery DeSotees--They
Are horn in the Purple.
The pope has received in private audi
enee the abbe Of the famous Abbey OF
Benzon, at Seckau, In Germany, one of
the best known and celebrated monas-
teries, especially because Of the high
station of the monks who are gathered
there. The abbe spoke separately and
In detail of.each of his dependent broth
er monks, and Leo XIII. heard with in
ferest Of their welfare. The monks OF
the abbey include Prince Philip of
Hohen1ohe, who has hidden definite
adieu to the world Father Charles, un-3
der which name is concealed the iden-
tity Of brilliant ex-cavalry officer, be-
longing to an illustrions house; Prince
Edward Schonburg Hartenstein, and
Father Benedict, Father Sebastian, once
MAJOR In the Saxon army, bearing the
name Of Baron Won Ger; Father John,
who was Baron Won Drads, and ran
away from the court OF Haden to ern-.
brace this career; Father Nicholas, who
was Baron von SaIs-Soglio; Father
HiIdebrand, who before assuming the.
cow1 and gown was brave captain, by
name of Count de Memptinne, and many
others too numerous to mention.
The Abbey seckau is situated among
the mountains Of Steiermark. in a thick,
wild forest, and in 30 years has united
together Benedictfne monks belonging
to the best known families, celebrated
for nobility or riches or distinguished
In the arts. This monastery, where the
rules are most rigorous, was founded
over 30 years ago by two brothers, Maui
rus and placidus Wolter og Cologne,
two learned monks sent by Plus TX. to
Prussia to reorganize the monasteries
there, which were degenerating. The
pdous Princess Catherine Of Hohenzol-
lern offered them the ancient Abbey Of
Benzon to establish new house, which
came into existence In 1863. Around
the two brothers there soon gathered
literary men and artists, especially
from Dusseldorf, In love with the splen-
dors OF. the Black Forest, who there
continued their work, SO that there Ii
now an artistic school of Benzon, which
may be said to rival the famous one of
the italian Abbey Of Monte Cassino.
