DIET IN HEALTH.
The Proper Food In That Which
the System Graves and
Requires.

In health, a. rule, to live generous
~ is to live wisely. 4 dish which in
cludes variety of fairly digestible
articles of food supplies reserve fund
which enables the system to meet emer-
gencies, and to avoid the possibility OF
physiological bankruptcy" Hip
pocrates observes that "a very slender
and restricted diet is dangerous to per-
Sons III health, because they bear trans
gressions of it with more difficulty. A
sound digestion seems to possess, with
in certain limits, capacity for adapt
ing itself to circumstances - at any
rate. for the time being. When taxed
beyond endurance, like the whirligig
Of time" it works its revenges."
Another fallacy is that we should eat
what we do not like; or, as many un-
happy children are taught, 1--WE must
eat what is good for us, whether we
like it or not" In other words, we
must disobey the instinct whereby ma
ture protects our idiosyncrasies. Even
Poor Richard, who is generally so sen
sible-and who is by no means an ascot
ic-enjoins his reader: 'Wouldst thou
enjoy long life, healthy body. and a
vigorous mind, and be acquainted also
with the wonderful works of God, labor
il the first place to bring thy appetite
to reason" las if the physical laws of
life are to be ignored), and bids him
''eat for necessity, not pleasure"
\ healthy appetite Graves and digests
the food materials which the system re-
9uires. If we know that in infancy
milk is essential to the human organ
ism. because before the age If six
months, or whereabouts, the ''physi-
illogical machinery" is not prepared for
the digestion of starchy foods; that in
childhood sugar and starch and fat are
required to supply the elements espe-
cially needed for growth; that in
youth bread and meat in abundance
are necessary to meet the increasing
demands which development imposes
on the constitution; that in mature life,
when the brain is most exercised, di-
sestible phosphate salts are needed to
repair wasted tissue: that in old age
less food is required, and bread. as the
nonogenarian, Sir Isaac Holden, as
serted. renders the arteries like
furred boilers"-if we find. in brief,
that every period and condition of life
has certain eNigencies in which reason
must take instinct for her guide-we
should listen to the voice of instinct, re-
alizing that the appetite is subject to a
''law of its own" This law does not
involve the fallacy that instinct is not
to be trained or disciplined; it only re-
quires that the function of instinct be
given due recognition. In the words OF
Shakespeare we should let good di-
gestion wait on appetite. and health on
both."-Harper's Bazaar.

How Oaor. May B@ Preventea,

According to the modern arrange
ment of our houses, odors from the
kitchen pass through the drain pipes,
and are noticed even in the upper halls
of the house. When cooking, the veg
etables should not be permitted to emit
any odors. Careless cooks, however,
when cooking cabbage. allow it to boil
rapidly. dissolving in water . substance
which is thrown OF in steam and is
most disagreeable; this odor, passing
upward, scents the whole house If
cabbage has been cooked carefully in
salted water just below the boiling
point in an uncovered vessel. and
drained outside, instead Of in the kitch-
en- sink. no odor whatever will be mo-
ticed., This rule applies also to onions
and turnips. The water in which these
have been boiled may, when cool. be
poured down the drain outside, and all
odors thereby avoided.-Ladies' Home
Journal.

Keep your children busy at some
wholesome work or play. and this is
more to the young mind than homilies
on vice, which only tend TO direct their
attention constantly to it. BY occu-
plying their time every minute of the
day they will be more thoroughly
helped and cleansed than would be
possible in any other manner. The ma
jority of parents do not realize the
Importance of the duty laid upon them
or else they are too lazy or incapable to
attend to it. The first duty of the rich
is to be industrious and to inculcate
habits of industry in their children. If
they are taught to keep constantly busy
in some useful and ennobling employ
ment, the chances of their evolution
into honorable men and women are a
million times increased. The making
of collections and the hard study of al
most any branch Of natural history are
likely to interest children. The making
of machines, the intricacies of music,
the management of printing press.
are all useful in keeping the young
mind occupied in a wholesome, healthy
manner.-N. Y. Herald.

HER MAJESTY NOT AT HOME.

How . Tavern Keeper Got Even with

We can hardly blame. perhaps. the

opportunity that chance gave him. A
Judge, travelling on circuit. had before
him. in small country town. a case in
which tavernkeeper was held for the
payment on a land transaction at o

not agreed definitely to pay. The court
declared that. although his agreement
was not on record. il was involved by
construction. or implied. in his partici-
patton in business proceeding con

After Judgment had been rendered
the court adjourned for dinner and the
Judge found that the only eating house
in the place was kept by the defendsnt

of the meals and the food was charged
