Consumption is most prevalent

Consumption is most prevalent
among those who are stinted or who
stint themselves in the use OF fat
foods. Everybody has learned and en-
ployed the knowledge, usually when 1t
is too late, that cod liver oil is good
for consumption. Few seem TO have
learned that food of the same char
acter suitable for the table is prevent
i've of consumption. In the whole
course of my professional observation,
covering period of nearly 60 years,
have known but rarely a family or an
individual that was brought up on a
liberal supply of butter and bacon who
became tuberculous. Moreover, such
food fortifies the system against other
diseases as well as consumption. 1t
establishes stamina.-Dr. Bell In the
Sanitarium.

stopped short, the orchestra followed
her example. and the audience, with
loud eXclamations. demanded the eN-

OF Mozart the clamor subsided, and
was succeeded by shouts of applause
from all sides.
1t was insisted that the opera should
be recommended. Mozart was install

whole performance. This time the d
sharp was played in its proper place,
and the musicians themselves were
surprised at the superior effect pro
duced. After the opera Mozart was
conducted In triumph to his hotel.

There Lived a Mnn.

There Lived n Man.
Once, in tho flight Of ages past,
There lived man; and who was hsi
Mortal, howe'er thy lot be cast,
That man resembled thee.
Unknown the region Of his birth,
The land in which he died unknown;
his name hath persisted from the earth;
This truth survives alone
That Joy and grief and hope and fear
Alternate triumph'd in bis breast;
Eis bliss and woe, a smile, teari
Oblivion hides the rect.
The bounding pulse. the languid limb,
The changing spirits rise and fall;
We know that these were felt by him,
For these are felt by all.

He slIfer'd, but bis pangs are DER;
Enjoyed, but his delights are fed.
Had friends his friends are Row no more.
And foes; his foes are dead.
he loved. but whom he loved. the grave
Hath lost in its unconscious womb.
Oh, she was fairl But naught could cave
Her beauty from the tomb.
! BE saw whatever thou hast seen,
Encountered all that troubles thee;
&c was whatever thou hast been;
lie is what thou shalt be.
The rolling seasons, day and night,
Sun, moon and stars, the earth and main,
Erewhile his portion, life and light
To him exist in vain.
The clouds and sunbeams DER his eye
That once their shades and glory threw,
Have left in yondef silent sky
No ve5tige where they few
The annals OF the human race,
Their ruins since the world began,
OF him afford no other trace
Than this--there lived a man!

One of Mozart. Outbreaks.

Mozart, being once on visit at Mar
sellles. went incognlto to hear the per-
fcrmance of his "Vlllanella Rapita."
He had reason to be tolerably well
satisfied, till, in the midst of the prin-
cipal aria, the orchestra, through some
error In the copying. of the score,
sounded a d natural where the COM
poser had written ID sharp. This sub
stitution did not injure the harmony,
but gave commonplace character to
the phrase, and obscured the sentiment
of the composer.
Mozart no sooner heard 1t than he
started up vehemently, and, from the
middle of the pit, cried out in voice
of thunder: "Wlll you play d sharp,
you wretches"
The sensation produced in the theater

Not one.
Is there a star in the curtain Of night
That forgsts to shine with radiance brightf
Not one.
IL there bud IN field or bower
That torgets to blossom into fowerr
Not one.
The clouds, the stars and flowers bright
In beautiful language speak forth Gods might
While we frail creatures Of the dust,
Forget, alas to be even Just.
We stand empty handed while all around
There lives TO brighten, now sorrow bound.
There are deeds which our hands should gladly do,
That would cheer some heart its journey through.

How many nuts for his winters store
Could he hide in the hollow tree.
