EVILS OF EATING ALONE.

Dyspepsia Likely to Result From Un- Sociability
 | At time like the present, when the | marrying age of the middle classes Is being more and more postponed, the physical ills of bachelordom come increasingly under the notice of the medical man. It is not good for man or woman to live alone. Indeed, it has been well said that for solitude to be successful a man must be either angel or devil. This refers, perhaps, mainly to the moralaspects of isolation, and with these we have now no concern. There are certain physical ills however which are not the least among the dis advantages of loneliness. Of these there is many a clerk in London, many young barrister, rising perhaps, but not yet far enough risen; many a bus mess man or journalist, who will say that one of the most trying features of his unmarried life Is to have to eat alone. And a premature dyspepsia is the only thing ever takes him to his medical man.
 There are some few happily disposed individuals who can dine alone and not eat too fast nor too much nor too lit- tle With the majority it is different The average man puts his novel or his newspaper before him, and thinks that he will lengthen out the meal with due deliberation by reading little with and more between the courses. He will just employ his mind enough to help and too little to interfere with diges- ton. In fact. he will provide that gen tie mental accompaniment which with happier people conversati tion gives to meal. This is your soitary's excellent idea. In reality he becomes engrossed in what he is reading, till suddenly, finding his chop cold, he demolishes it in a few mouthfuls; or else he finds that he is hungry, and paying no at tention to the book, which he filings aside, he rushcs through his food as fast as possible, to plunge into his arm chair and literature afterward In ei- ther case the lonely man must digest at disadvantage.
 For due and easy nutrition food should be slowly taken and the mind should not be intensely exercised dur ing the process. Every one knows that violent bodily exercise is bad just after meal, and mental exertion

BOOKER WASHINGTON STORIES.
 Booker T. Washington ranks with the best of the story -tellers. At the Young Mems Christian association convention he told of his early attempt to arouse the colored men of the south to work regularly save their money, stop steal ing chickens, lead good lives, etc. One of his agencies was the ablishment of schools. Money was scarce, and it was a day of small beginnings The first class was held on a porch of a house. but it rapidly outgreW the ac- commodat tion, and in casting about for ampler facilities he found an old, aban- doned hen-house. Finding venerable darky idle, he said to him, Sam, you go up tomorrow morning and clean out that old hen-house back of Mir -----'s house,
 "Sho'ly, MT. Washington" was the reply, you won't clean out hen-house in de daytime?"
 Speaking of the emotional tendencies of the negro in religious affairs, he told of an old coored woman who went to an Episcopal church. She went up to the gallery and prepared to enjoy the services. She grew steadily more and more excited and more noisy, carrying on at a great rate, and attracting gene ral attention. The sexton went up to remonstrate.
 Whats the matter my good wo- man?' he began.
 "Oh. I'm so happy" she said, waving her hands. ''De Lord has come; His glory is all about heah. Is got religion at last"
 Very good, sister" said the sexton, in very modifying tone, but don't make so much noise. This is no place to get religion" ."--Boston Herald.

ASSOCIATION IN FRANCE.

France has had so much trouble with societies, or Associations. that law has been made providing that French men must get the consent of the gov ernment if they want to associate. '' An association is defined, for the pur- poses of this law. as 'the agreement by which two or more persons unite their knowledge or activity for some other object than pecuniary profit" :" The law provides the method of obtain ing and retaining official assent. The contract of association must be made public: the preliminary notice must be given at the prefecture or subpre- lecture of the district in which the as- sociation has it's legal office; the title and object of the association must be given, the situation of its establish ments and their names, and the names, professions and domiciles of those who, under any title whatsoever. may be charged with it's management: two copies of its laws and bylaws must be appended, and every change in man. agement or in laws or bylaws must be made known within three months from such change, Fines are authorized for the violation of these regulations, and a fine and imprisonment for those who attempt to maintain an association af- ter it has been legally dissolved. The rule laid down for the authorities to so by Is as follows. Every associa ton (of persons not necessarily holding property in commom, founded for cause or in view of an object that is il- licit, contrary to the laws, to the con stitution, to public order, 10 morality, or entaillng renunciation of natural, individual rights, is null and of no ef- fect' Associations are forbidden to possess or acquire real estate not neces- sary for the objects for which they pro- fess to exist.

equally so. Wise people do not even argue during or just after dinner, and observation or after dinner speeches will convince any one that most speak, CTS neither endure themselves nor ex- cite in their hearers any severe intel lectual effort In fact, the experience of countless generations, from the red Indian of the woods to the white shirt ed diners of q modern party, has per perpetudated the lesson that man should not eat alone, nor think much at this time, but should talk and be talked to while he feeds. Most people do not think much when they talk, and talking is natural accompaniment of eating and drinking.
 How dies it fare with the many soli- tary women of to-day? No better, we know, than with the men, but different ly. Alone or not, man may generally be trusted at any rate to take food enough. eve suppose of course, that he can get it) With a women it is diff ferent. She is more emotional more imaginative, and less inclined to rea lize the gross necessities of existence. Therefore, the woman doomed to dine alone as often as not does not dine at all. She gets dyspepsia because her digestion has not sufficient practice; a man gets it because his munctions practise it too often in the wrong way. Men and women are Ercgarious ami mals. Physically and intellectually we improve with companionship. Certain ly 1t is not good to eat and to drink alone. It is a sad fact of our big cit ies that they hold hundreds of men and women who in the day are too busy and at night too lonely to feed with profit, much less with any pleasure.-London Lancet

THE INDIAN AND THE BUFFALO.
 The buffalo and his habits presents the key to the life and customs of these western tribes. What the palm is to the Bedouin of the desert or the rein deer to the arctic Laplander, this, and more, the buffalo represented to the Sioux and Blacl1feet, the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. His flesh provided food, not only for present need, but, when ''jerked" and packed away in the skin perheche, a store for winters use.

.4N OLD-F4SHIONED FAMILY.

Alderman Wentz of Brooklyn has be- though entirely legitimate way. He went to a railroad office in Brooklyn the other day and bought nineteen tickets to the Buffalo Exposition-one for his wife, one for himself and the rest for his seventeen children. This remarkable deed was noticed and AL derman Wentz was interviewed. He said: 1T think # people knew the sat- isfaction of having babies about the house they would not want small fami- lies I don't feel old as the little ones multiply. I feel younger and younger, and think I'll become a child again myself some day. It's great thing to go home at night and find nineteen or twenty pairs of shoes waiting in the hallway to be cleaned" Mrs. Wentz's philosophy is of an equally amiabe character. Its a great time getting the children off to school" she observ- ed. q line them up like an inspector of rifle practice. I am very happy with the little ones about. The work does mt seem to tire me- I love every one of them, and they seem to love me, and there is something in that We expect them to be little men and wo- men, and they are. They are placed upon their honor to behave, and they do so without much rod'

St. Paul's cathedral, London. has in the person of J. R. Haworth, who has inst celebrated his eightieth birthday, one of the oldest bell-ringers in the world. He has been an expert in the art of bell-ringing since the accession of the late Queen Victoria, and it is of interest to note that he helped to peal the bells of Westminster abbey on the occasion of the accession of her majesty, and on each 20th of June since without single break. Tn addition, lie was one of the team who rang the bells of St. aPaurs not only at the jubilee of 1887 but on the occasion of her late ,nstesty's visit to the cathedral on the diamond jubilee day. In spite of his advanced years MT. Haworth is still hale and hearty. Especially interest ing are his "reminiscences of beli-ring- ing in hls early days. and of the nota- ble occasions-coinmenc with the rolling of the bell at St. Matt y's church on the death of William ".

The Washington correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle writes: MT. Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese Minister at Washington, has established for him. self place in the United States some what like that held here by the late Russell Lowell. No social function in which there is to be speaking seems complete without him, and he goes cheerfully about from graduation of young women to the launching of bat tleships saying witty things with a buoyant manner, making caustic criti- cisms with a smile that is childlike and bland, and delivering polished orations couched in perfect English. He has now accepted an invitation to deliver the Fourth of July oration in the build ing most sacred to the hearts and mem- ories of the American people-Independ- ence Hall, Philadelphia. Transatlantic opinion is confident that he will acquit himself well in this extraordinary po- sition, and notes with amused curosity this novel symptom of expansion"

Professor Standfuss, of Zurich, has been studying the effects of solar heat and temperature on butterflies. More than forty thousand butterflies were subjected to close examination. Some degrees more or less change the nature and looks so much that they take on every appearance of having been born in a warmer or colder climate. On one occasion, it being very cold in Switzer- land, a butterfly common there sud- denly began to look like butterfly from Lapland. Others subjected to a higher solar temperature changed and looked like butterflies from Corsica or Syria The experiments, which are to be continued, led to the production of butterflies of an entirely new type, some being of a very beautiful descrip- ton.

4 AM A DEMOCRAT.

Probably no man ever got more unex-
pected fame and popularity out of a simple
phrase than Hon. David b. Hill, of New
York. did out of the phrase, Il am Demo
crat." The phrase itself is commonplace
enough and has been used in an unpreten-
tious way by thousands of as good Demo-
crats-or, rather, as consistent and con-
firmed Democrats-as Mr.. HILL but he used
it in such way as to create the impress
sion that it was a great political truth and
he its original discoverer. For a common
place remark it has lasted we'll. Mr.. Hill
used it in a speech in the Brooklyn Acad-
envy of Music in the fall of 1885. and since
then it has served as a text for thousands
of Democratic orators of high and low de-
gree. Generally, too, it has been used with
the same object that Mr.. Hill had, namely,
TO exalt the speakers own Democracy by
contrasting it with the spurious article as
represented by Grover Cleveland. 1t was
a favorite phrase in the Chicago conven-
ton of 1896. when a resolution indorsing
the Cleveland administration was greeted
with a yell of derision and rejected by 564
tons, where his picture was turned to the
wall When Mr.. Hill first used the phrase
Mr.. Cleveland as President had refused to
make a clean sweep of Republicans in
office and trying to hold off the hun
cry horde of Democratic officeseekers that
was hammering at the doors of the White
House, until he could make changes in
diligently. When DIR. Hill said. II am
Democrat he meant not of the Cleveland
type, but of the kind that the boys in the
trenches wanted. 1t tickled the boys i'm
mensely and made them all feel they were
Democrats OF superior type.
But. alas for Mr.. Hill. who has posed
fifteen years as the originator OF the
phrase. and alas for all the little local
orators who have been using it without
quotation marks or paying any royalty on
1t for nearly the same length OF timel 1t
turns out that the originator of the phrase
was Grover Cleveland himself Mr. James
]. Neville, of Syracuse, n. Y, has pub
lished a little book called Famous Say
ings of Famous Americans" containing
brief extracts from the speeches or letters
of prominent men of both parties, including
II am a Democrat" from Mr.. Cleveland's
acceptance of the nomination for mayor of
Buffalo. Oct %, 1881. He also used it as
the opening sentence of several paragraphs
Of his letter Of acceptance Of the nomina-
ton for Governor of New York in 1882
Both occasions were several years before
Mr.. Hill used it, Mr.. Cleveland did not
copyright the expression, but as the people
Endorsed his Democracy by electing him
President after he had used 1t, and as they
have not put the stamp of their approval
on Mr.. Hills Democracy, ii would seem no
more than right that he and his admirers
should stop using it or else give credit to
its real author

What the President Is Said to Have
Told Governor Ferguson.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Dec 1O-Although de-
Ginning TO make any address on assuming
the office of Governor yesterday, Governor
Ferguson gave out the following: The
dispatches from Washington were true 10
the effect that a policy has been outlined
by the President and secretary as to the
administration Of affairs from the Gov
errors office. This plan, however, is not
to be made public at this time. II is along
business lines entirely and has naught 10
do with politics unless IL should come 10
place where business and politics might
collide. President Roosevelt told me- con-
tinued the Governor. that my appointment
came wholly without political entangle-
ment; that / was responsible 10 no man IN
the Territory for my appointment: that IL
was made at the personal request OF the
secretary and that he expected me 10 keep
my administration free from political en-
tanglements.
VIII you do it% asked the President.
81 was about TO say Il will try. but when
I looked at him did say Yes. sir
All right then responded the Presi-
dent, and If you don't yoa will go like your
predecessor. If my brother was holding
office under me / would make the same
demands, and IL he did not do right the re-
suits would be just severe
