DANGER FROM OVEREATlNG.
Insanity often Caused by Too Liber-
al Indulgence In Food


1t is well known to the few medical
men that many cases of insanity are
directly due to overeatng and the con-
sequent absorption into the circulation
of toxic matters from'the intestinal
tract, and melancholia. whether in mild
or severe form, Is generally due to this
cause. Violent paroXysms of temper
whether in children or adults, are often
properly referable to bad state of the
blood from this auto toXema, as are in
deed the exceedingly exuberant spirits
of old or young at times. Just as we
observe in alcoholic poisoning, some
individuals are made temporarily Jolly
and good natured; others are made
ugly and unreasonable.
In view of this condition of affairs
isn't it rather a wise plan for us all to
consider rather the needs of the or
ganism for food than the mere ques-
ton of palate tickling. to aim to eat
good instead of bad food and enough
of lt-that is, not too much-to have
the conditions about right when we
take our meals; in brief to try and
treat our bodies decently even though
we act from purely sensual point Of
view? In no other way can we secure
the highest possible degree of pleasure
on the average, while by acting thus
sensibly we may enjoy practical i'm
munity from disease.
The more exercise we take under
proper conditions, the more we are eX-
posed to cold. and the clearer we keep
from excess in clothing the more we
may eat; hence. in order to enjoy the
fullest measure of table pleasures, we
must live actively. wear as little cloth
ing as Is consistent with comfort and
do considerable "roughng" sometimes
called hardening. With all this we
should take our meals at times when
the body or brain is not overtired, and
when we "have leisure to digest" and,
of all things. we should never eat un-
less we are hungry. To eat without an
appetite is self abuse of the most
stupid sort. since it affords no pleasure
and is productive of ase.-Physical

That Tired Feeling,

There's no doubt about it," says n
prominent vegetarian, that for endur-
ance. for hard work. vegctarianism is
the only thing. Do you know why? 1t
is because in vegetables you eat no
tiredness. In meat or fish or poultry
you eat n great deal of tiredncss. and
that is why the meat eater after a
hearty meal feels lazy and heavy and
disinclined to work. He has absorbed
with his meat a great quantity of uric
acid. and the definition of uric acid has
been given by an eminent scientist as
the essence of tiredness.' He who eats
only vegetables is never tired after a
meal-never."

The Little Match-Girl.
HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN


1t was very cold, the snow fell, and it
was almost quite dark; for 1t was even
ing-yes, the last evening of the year.
Amid the cold and the darkness, poor
little girl, with bare head and naked feet,
was roaming through the streets. 1t is
true she had pair Of slippers when she
left home, but they were not of much
use. They were very large slippers; so
large indeed that they had hitherto been
used by her mother; besides, the little
creature lost them as she hurried across
the street, to avoid two carriages that
were driving very quickly past. One of
the slippers was not to be found, and the
other was pouced upon by a boy, who
ran away with it, saying that it would
serve for cradle when he should have
children of his own. So the little girl
went along, with her little bare feet that
were red and blue with cold. She carried
a number of matches in an old apron,
and she held a bundle of them in her
hand. Nobody had bought anything
from her for the whole livelong day no
body had even given her a penny.
Shivering with cold and hunger, she
crept along, perfect picture of misery
poor little thing The snow fakes
covered her long, haxen hair, which
hung in pretty curls round her throat
but she needed them not now. Lights
were streaming from all the windows
and there was a savory smell of roast
goose for 1t was New Years Eve. AnG
this she did heed.
She now sat down, covering in cor
ner formed by two houses, one of which
projected beyond the other. She hat
drawn her little feet under her, but sh,
felt colder than ever; yet she dared no
return home, for she had not sold {
match, and could not bring home ,
penny! She would certainly be heater
by her father; and it was cold enough a
home, besides-for they had only thu

Willie, the Boy

Willie, the Boy Pirate of Hampton Roads
Norfolk, Va, March 2G.-The exploit
of Willie Bondurant, the eleven. year-old
hoy who turned pirate and stole Capt
John Twohy's steam tug Fannie, is the
talk of the town. He is a son of Will
liam Bondurant, an Iron founder.
Willie said that he seized the tug and
started down Hampton Roads with heI
because his teacher had laughed at him
when he said he could run an engine and
he wanted to show her that he could dc
it. He is little runt of fellow and
does not look as thought he had strength
enough to turn steam on.
Capt. TwOhy said tonight: "That boy
why he is smart boy, mighty smarI
boy, and he will be heard from in thi:
world. He begged them on the Nc
Cauley not to tow him back to Norfolk
"'Let me alone he said, 'and will
bring her back all right The McCauley
though, towed the Fannie"
On his runaway voyage Willie met the
United States revenue cutter Onondags
coming in. He blew the Fannie'I
whistle as though she were locomotive
trying to whistle cows off the track
"She got out Of the way, too" said vii
lie. River men said the Onondags
did give the footing Fannie a wide berth

There are some curious features con-
nected with French parliamentary cleo
lions. For instance, no wall literature
Issued by a candidate or his friends
may be printed on white paper, white
being the color reserved for official an
nouncements. In the days of the en-
pire, when official candidates were
known in the land, the addresses Of
the governments nominees were print
ed on white paper, and this no doubt
had due weight with the more ignorant
voters. Again, any elector whose name
Is mentioned in a newspaper can, II he
feel himself aggrieved, call upon the
editor to publish a reply. This, how
ever. Is not confined to elections, but
