HOW TO BE HEALTHY.
Rules to BE Observed In the Matter
of Diet and Exercise.


Positively avoid habitual diet CON-
posed too exclusively of one kind Of
food, such as meats or cereals. Such
diet leads inevitably to disease.
Many cases Of sickness, palpitations,
scurvy, skin diseases and headache
are directly due to this improper diet.
Bear in mind that sugar and all
sugared or sirupy substances, unless
sparingly used, are the most injurious
Of the foods il ordinary use. They
render digestion imperfect and by
their seductive taste are liable to in
ducc overeating.
Eat sparingly of fruit, preserves,
veal, pork, young lamb, kid, ham, ba-
con, sugar, vinegar, spices, fats. oils,
fried foods, pastries, cakes, rich des-
serts. strong gravies, hot freshly baked
bread and foods WHICH form adherent
past>s.
AvC:l cold drinks at mealt:me, ex-
ce,,t in hot days. Avoid uncomforta-
bly, hot dri2i.<;. Avoid eating at irreg-
ul2l' hours. S<"v": over1uie your appe-
tite, which is ~the best index of the
amount of food you need, except in
the course of diseases that require a
special diet.
Satisfy your appetite, not your glut-
tony; satisfy your thirst, not your
craving.
Salt your food sufficiently, because
salt is an aid to digestion, but not
more than needed to suit the taste.
Eat less rapidly and chew your food
more. The stomach wants only well
chewed food. The teeth were made
for that special purpose. II they are
poor or missing, seek the dentists aid.
Avoid violent exercise and severe
mental exertion just after meal. but q
moderate exercise. as walking, will
aid digestion. q. H. l., il. i
Wash your hands with soap and wa
/ ter before each meal, even IL they do
not appear unclean. ys ,a.
Brush your teeth inside and outside
at least once a day, and rinse your
mouth after each meal.
|. When your stomach is out of order,
give it a rest by fasting half q day or
by taking only little fuid food. !.
Remember that the wholesomest
meats are beef, mutton and poultry
and that beef and mutton are most
easily digested and wholesome when
broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried.
Remember that pure water is the
most natural: and wholesome beverage.
7 A glass of pure water every morning
before breakfast will go far toward
preventing sickness and extending life
toward the century mark. +>t 5.

Origin of the SnOwdrop,

An old legend gives the following as
the origin of the snowdrop: After Adam
and Eve had been driven from the gar
den of Eden Eve was disconsolate. One
day as she sat silently greving an an
gel appeared and sought means to COM
fort her. She longed for the flowers,
but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth in robe of
white.
AS the angel stood and spoke words
of hope to the weeping, repentant wo-
man he caught snowflake, breathed
gently upon it and said:
"Take form. pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and be comfort to humanity
now and forever"
In twinkling the snowdrop changed
into beautiful flower. as white and
pure as the snow itself. and when Eve
beheld the new born blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart. and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission. of love-
the angel departed, but where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up a
circle Of perfect snowdrops.

A SUPPLEMENTAL Mirror.

The invention illustrated below has
for its object to provide supplemental
mirror having an adjustable connection
with the bureau and adapted to be set
at a different angle to the large glass to
aid in showing a rear view of the per-

it is a wonan's invention. as it would
take one of the gentler sex to appreci-

The invention is formed Of light
framework Of either metal or wood and
is so arranged that the several parts
will fold in small compass when not in
use, the sections being hinged together

Must Get Weary at Times.

Representative Conner of Iowa, who
succeeded Senator Dolliver in the
house, is probably the most attentive
listener in congress. He is always in
his seat during the sessions of the
house, never writes letters during the
debates. refrains from conversation
and turns his dignified visage-he
bears close resemblance to Senator
Aldrich Of Rhode 1sland-upon the va
rious speakers. He closely follows all
discussions and the most tiresomc
speeches and seems to find something
interesting in all proceedings.

Mr.. Chamberlain is the only member
of the British cabinet who does not
possess a coat Of arms beyond that

him in his "Giving EN- Fits SERIES
The most distinguished, perhaps, are
those Of the Marquis of Lansdowne,
who is entitled to quarter the royal
arms Of Plantagenet in right of descent
from Princess Mary, second daughter
Of Henry VII. Some of the notices
are illuminating. Thus the premier's

The spirit Of liberty that prevailed in
Boston at the time of the Revolution
was not confined to the men who could
carry muskets. Even the children were
ready to stand up for their rights as
Americans. An incident that took place
in the winter before the battle of Lex
ington was fought shows this. The
boys Of Boston had been much troubled
by the British soldiers who were then
on garrison duty in the town. These
soldiers took great delight in destroy
ing the coasting places which the boys
had prepared. At last the boys held a
meeting and appointed committee to
wait upon General Gage, then in CON-
mand, and to make protest.
The committee was admitted to Cen
eral Cages headquarters, and in reply
to the generals question as to what
they wanted the leader replied:
''Sir. we are here to demand our
rights
"What's this?' exclaimed the general.
surprised. DO your fathers teach you
rebellion and send you here to display
it?''

promptly spoke up the leader. But
your soldiers trample down our snow
slides and destroy our snow forts.
When we complain, they laugh at us.
call us young rebels and tell us to help
ourselves if we can. Sir. we will stand
it no longer"
General Cages surprise changed to
admiration. You are brave boys" lie
said. go, and if my soldiers trouble
you again they shall be punished"
Henceforth the boys of Boston en-
joyed their sport without molestation.

EAGLES IN THE METROPOLIS.

Dr. John Dodd. veterinary surgeon of Fremont. shot and killed a small bald eagle Sunday morning on the es- tate of Joseph McCrain in East Chester
 The McCrain estate is near the Coun- try club and fronts on Pelham bay. Mr. McCrain and several of the neighbors have since the storm of a week ago been missing chickens and couldn't imagine who was stealing them.
 Sunday morning Mir. McCrain and Dr. Dodd were walking through the barn yard when Dodd saw two big birds high up in the air. coming directly to- ward them. Dodd said they were chick en hawks and they were the thieves The birds drew near. circled overhead and then made. q swoop upon the chick on coop.
 They're eagles" cried Dr. Dodd ''Get a rifle is you've got one"
 McCrain brought out a shotgun which only had one barrel loaded. The eagles had got q chicken each in their talons. and they had risen with their prey. when the veterinary fired and killed one of them.
 The other eagle circled in the air screaming and then flew down to its dead companion. McCrain went into th.. house to get more ammunition. but could find none. The living eagle tried to carry off ifs dead companion. but the veterinary beat it off with the butt Of his gun. It grabbed the chicken it had let drop and flew off toward the sound. The dead eagle is of a brownish coIor about five and a half feet in spread os wing. It may have come down here with last weeks northeaster.
