1T which the boxes were not controlled

Speaking OF the boxes. il is an inter
esting fact that the ownership of a box
at the Metropolitan opera house has
proved itself a profitable investment.
The parterre boxes. which are held by
the stockholders represent $4,000 in
stock. One of the boxes belonging to
an estate could recently have been sold
at $4,000. but the estate preferred to
keep it. The value of parterre box is
800 night. and the stockholders pay
half this amount to the Maurice Grau
Opera company. Their have been two
instances this season of the letting of
boxes for $4,000 for the
season. This is certainly paving high
for the privilege of sitting within the
charmed circle of the gliterin horse

FUNNY FADS ABOUT FOOD.

IL has never been scientifically de-
monsti ated that fish and other phos-
phoric foods can appreciably improve
the brain and mind. Fishermen. for
example. and fishmongers. who may be
supposed TO live largely upon fish. have
never shown theselves to be in any
measurable degree more intellectual
than their neighbors. Indeed. it may
be plausibly argued that they are a
little less so. The truth is that that
particular food which best agrees with
the particular individual. and which
best maintains his general health at q
high level is the best for the brain and
every other organ of the body. as well
as for the whole man. Common eXper-
fence has long ago formulated the say
ing that what is one mans meat is
another mans poison" Science now
come forward TO tell us eXectly the
same thing. and to impress upon every
one % us the necessity of finding out
the diet best suited TO ourselves. and
sticking to it.-London Hospital.
