An old colored servant once told Cen

desire keen senses and lively enjoyment

stitute nine-tenths of life, stint your

Give every normal want n reasonable
qualification only. Moderation is the
golden mean between Indulgence and

sttute the science of living.
To illustrate: If You stint your diet
such food as you do take will he re-
ceived gratefully by n stomach which
has accumulated surplus energy Every
organ in the body Will be eager and
work hard for its supply of pabulum.
Assimilation is therefore improved. A
satisfied stomach means n healthy

Just the right amount OF exercise

On inquiry at the steamship offices
he learned that Mrs. Schlichting had
taken passage on Red Star liner.
Capt. Schlichting Is "a years onI and

The lease of the Louvre Glove COM

can be learned, the company has not up
10 the present time availed itself of the
option OF renewal, but according 10
some legal opinions IL has still the right
TO do so, and, in such case, IL would
appear that IL can retain its present

IL is held by some that Mr.. Tilling-
mast having disposed of all his right
and title TO the lease of the premises to
the new firm his obligatio towards
the sub-lessees will cease as soon as he
gives up possession TO the purchasers
OF the general lease. On the other hand
IL is claimed that the sub-lessees can
not call upon the new firm TO fulfill any
agreement they may have, inasmuch as
no contract was made with them. but
with Mr.. Tillinghast. Thus the mat

Couran thereupon led the agent up q

an improvised bed, without covering Of
any kind, was the living skeleton of the
girl they sought. Her legs and arms
were the size of broom handles. and the
skin seemed TO cling To the bones. Her
legs were paralyzed. There were ulcers
all over the body. Her hair was white

Lewellen f. Carl Of Pawtucket has
sued the Interstate Consolidated Street
Railroad Company to recover 10000 for
injuries resulting. il is alleged, from
the carelessness and gross lack OF hu-
manity on the part of agents Of the de-
fendant corporation. Mr.. Carts story
is as follows:
He was engaged during a big storm
in February Of the present year as a
snow shoveller TO clean tracks for the
defendant and was taken To Attleboro,
Mass. He was kept at work an unrea-
sonable length OF time. being for 36
hours exposed to extreme cold The
food furnished he claims was OF poor
quality and insufficient, and when suf-
fering severely from the bitter cold
weather then prevailing he was denied
warm drink and sufficient clothing
though he made a seasonable request
for the same.
Mr.. Carl says that when he first be-
gan 10 suffer from the cold he request
ed permission to leave his work, but a
refusal followed the request Finally
when he could not work any longer he
was ordered TO go into a car owned by
the defendants and permitted TO remain
there without any aid. comfort or pro-
lection from the severe weather for
several hours. He was not permitted to
return TO Pawtucket he claims, though
several cars operated by the defendant
corporation went from Attieboro to that
city and he had earned and there was
due him for labor performed Sc. Mr..
Carl claims that when he was found 10
be In a weak condition II was the duty
OF the company's servants 10 treat him
with care and not leave him exposed 10
the inclemency Of the weather. but that
the servants of the corporation neglect
ful OF their duty were guilty of such
cruelty that recital thereof will prove
"a shock to humanity"
AS the result OF the gross carelessness
of the company's servants, Mr.. Carl
says, his feet were so badly frozen that
each had to be twice amputated. He
suffered greatly from thirst and hunger
and his pains were excruciating and as
result of his harsh treatment will be
cripple for life. Mr. Carl saws he has
been forced to expend large Sums of
money for medical attendance and his
attorney Warren r. Aids of Boston
closes a very interesting IL mournful
declaration by making Mr.. Carl ask for
substantial damages because he was
cut down in the very flower of his
manhood"
