WHEN TO EAT DINNER.
Discussion Of Drowsiness After Food and
How to Auoid II.

'p" ~ shhOi'
Woodworking men, especially in the
learned professions, are often puzzled
as TO the right hours for their meals
and the right diet to be taken at their
meals. The much graver question of
stimnlants also interests them person
ally The fear of a midday meal Is
very common among brain workers. A
good luncheon is apt to interfere with
inspiration, especially if any form of
alcohol be taken. Tea, very popular
with scholars, is less Objectionable as
to its immediate effects. but it is very
dangerous to digestion, especially
among scholars, who, like workwomen,
nearly always take too much and pre-
fer their tea to be strong red as
blood" as Gerrick used to say. The
chief danger in taking too light a mid
day meal is that the student is at his
worst, physically, just before dinner
time. Hence, dinner Is rendered
fresh source OF dyspepsia. and if he
strolls about before the evening meal
he IS apt TO take cold
The special stimulants of great men
have been recorded in their memoirs
One of the most remarkable records of
this kind has come to light in Aubreys
Brief Lives" founded on notes taken
by the author in the middle of the sew
enteenth century Few drinks are
more distrusted among BRAIN workers
in these days than ale. but Prynne
seems to have thought otherwise. He
was yoluminous writer, and his pam
phlets lost him his ears and endanger-
ed his head Aubrey informs us that
About every three hours his
| (Pyrnne's) man was to bring him Il
roll and pot of ale to refocllate his
wasted spirits; so he studied and drank
and munched some bread and this
maintained him till night; and then he
made good supper. Now, he did well
not to dine. which breaks off ones
fancy, which will not presently be re-
gained
The danger Of prioii reasoning
may be seen from the above quotation
Those who have forgotten about
Prynne would take him from this note
! known old-fdshioned type yet he was
a stern uncompromising Puritan, who
suffered mutilation and the pillory, and
had a violent and very Bohemian
prejudice against the stage. The diet
does not then proclaim the man We
doubt, however. if the serious student
of the end of the nineteenth century
would do we'll to "refocillate his vast
ed spirits" by drinking d pot OF ale
every three hours. Pyrnne was per
haps wise not TO dine. which meant
to lunch in those days, and implied 4
very heavy meal. But the munehing
of rolls all day and the good supper
were questionable. Ills style was very
caustic perhaps because of the mis-
rule of Charles |. but possibly. also.
through dyspepsia. which also had 50
disastrous an influence on the literary
temper of Thomas Carlyle

Recently an eminent physician gave
utterance to the opinion that appendi-
eitis is more common in this country
than In others because of the Yankee
custom that men haye-and men are
more frequently sufferers from the
disease than women-of habitually sit
ting with one leg thrown over the 9TH
er. This habit, the physician was
quoted as saying, restricts the action
of the digestive apparatus. and es-
pecially the lower intestine. and
causes stagnation OF the contents and
the stretching of the opening of the
vermiform appendix, making it posi-
bic for distractions to reach the latter,
and thus giving rise to appendicitis.
There is no other disease. IL We may
judge from the attention given to it
by current publications, in which the
general public takes so much interest
as this one, which is comparatively
new to medical practice. Probably
much of the popular interest is due
to the fact that only within few years
what may be called the literature of
appendicitis has reached the reading
community.

A THRILLING OCCURRENCE
But 1T Eventually Brought india Under
EHgland's Control.

How many people are aware that
England owes its vast Indian empire
to Il variation Of three shillings L
pound in the price of pepper And yet
such is the ease, and it throws an in
teresting light upon the idosyncrasles
of the English character
In the sixteenth century all the pep
per consumed in England was bought
by the English merchants from the
Dutch, who brought il from India.
Owing to racial jealousy, the Dutch
traders in 1899 raised the cost from
three shillings to six shillings per
pound This petty display OF ill-feel-
ing caused considerable ANNOYANCE to
the English merchants, and aroused
in them that feeling Of independence
which has always been 50 character
stc of the race.
They determined to import their
pepper direct from India in their own
ships, and for this purpose formed a
company, called The Governor and
Company OF Merchants Of London
Trading to the East Indies. and which
in later days became eventually known
as the East India Company.
Their first voyages embroiled them
in almost innumerable quarrels with
the Dutch and Portuguese, and for q
time the venture proved a financial
failure II was not until 1915 that the
company became successful and OBJ
tanned lucrative treaties, owing to their
decisiVely defeating the Portuguese.
From this time on their possessions
gradually increased. slowly at first
and then very rapidly, until, by the
wise and beneficial management oil
such men as Give, Warren Hastings
and CORVALLIS, they exercised soy
ereignty over the greater portion oil
India.
In this manner it happened that an
increase in the price Of pepper momen-
tously affected the history of mankind
