Hope of a Disturbance.

He had been tossed about uncom-
fortably for thirty years. He had a
gentle, contemplative, book-reading
disposition, was fond of pretty things,
good manners and repose. But he
had had to work hard at things which
ruf1ed his spirit. 'Intolerable" was
the word most frequently on his lips.
But now he has an easy, salaried
position, congenial work, and for the
time, is comfortable.
The other evening he sat in his
cheerful apartment, with warm dress
ing gown about him, and talked to a
friend about how the troubles of life
had fallen away from him, how at last
he had arrived in the haven. His
friend told him, that he was just in
the condition to experience new dis
turbance, deeper than all the others,
and that this rest was only lull in
the storm.
'What do you mean % he asked.
The reply was a counter-question.
'Are you as much resolved as ever
to live alone 2" this friend asked.
There was pause. Then the con
tempative man said, slowly: Gas an
abstract proposition marriage doesn't
seem as disagreeable to me as it did. >
His friend smiled. 'You will fine
that YOU will be deeply disturbed
again before very long" he said

Practice makes perfect even In
wrong-doing and in the use Of what
seem to be very awkward means. A
writer in the Boston Transcript says,
The Gauchos, or dwellers, on the ex-
tensive plains of Buenos Ayres, are
marvelously dexterous with both
hands and feet. Many of them have
acquired, through long practice, such
skill in using their toes instead of
fingers that they can fling the lasso
and even pick pockets with them.
Some time ago Frenchman, who was
fishing in one of the rivers Of Buenos
Ayres, was warned to be on his guard
against the light fingered natives. He
forthwith kept vigilant watch upon
his companions, but nevertheless, ono
day when his attention was closely
riveted on his float, a willy Gaucho
drew near and delicately inserting his
foot, extracted the Frenchman's hooks
and other valuable from his pocket.

DIET AS A CAUSE OF SUICIDE
Physician Thinks He Has Discovered the
Reason of Self-Destruction.

DR.. Haig is of opinion that suicide
may be traced to error in diet, the error
being the eating of meat, the drinking
of beer and Of tea, and the smoking OF
tobacco His facts all fall comfortably
into their places in support of his hy-
pothesis. Are there not more suicides
among men than among women, and
do not men consume more meat, more
beer and more tobacco than the wom-
en-? Again, suicide is more common in
England than in Scotland, not appar-
emily because the Scotch are a more
canny race, but because the English
eat more meat and drink more beer,
while the Scotch eat less meat and
drink whisky instead of beer After
maintaining that suicide was less com
mon among the Scotch, 1t was perhaps
hardly polite, when addressing a
Scotch audience, to go on to say that
suicide increased with civilization. But
the fact was explained on the ground
of more injurious diet, that of civilized
man being more productive of uric acid
and thus of suicide than that which
prevails where civilization is less adj
vanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the
bottom of all this, and, according to
DR.. Haig, the incidence of suicide tai
lies with the daily, annual and life
fluctuations of uric acid in the blood
being commonest when uric acid is
most abundant. We have no doubt
that errors of diet are responsible for
much, and, among other things, for q
certain number of suicides, nay, we
would go further and admit that I'M
suitable diet, arrangement of the prop
er relation between nutrition and
waste and the consequent loading OF
! the tissues and the blood with abnor-
NAL products of metaboism, have much
to do with that i'll temper and discon-
tent which lead men to lay their hands
violently, often upon their neighbors
and sometimes on themselves. All this
may be taken for granted but it is al
present far from proved that the pee
cant material is in all cases the same
and still further are we from being
agreed that uric acid is the origin o.
the evil.

lind skin diseases are frequently not skin
