Food and Character.

One might almost say that the recipe
for happy home was what has been
aptly called a ''bland" diet. While it
is not literally true that eating hog
makes hog of man, yet it is true
there is a large connection between 1t
and character. Bloodthirsty, lustful
races are those that eat meat-largely
rare meat-freely, whereas the gentle,
industrious, persistent races are most
ly grain and fruit eaters
While the controversy over vegeta-
rianism is one for scientists to settle,
even the humblest of US can afford to
try for himself the advantages of d
"bland' diet 1t is a most interesting
experience to see how acute and sensi:
tive the sense of taste can become by
avoiding food that has strong taste.
No one knows the delicate sweets
and acids, oils and bites in our COM
mon cereals and fruits who eats huge
chunks of fish, flesh and fowl highly
favored and deluged with biting
sauces. Simplicity of life can be as
much a part of diet as of furniture or
clothes. = William Noyes in Good
Housekeeping.

A CARELESS CONSUL.
The Way Bret HRrte Came to Lose
His Position at Glasgow.

When Bret Harte was consul at Glas;
gov, he was seldom to be found in that
city, as he spent most of his time in the
London drawing rooms, where he was
a general favorite, and delegated Sthe
consular business to assistants. One
day while making one Of his rare Wis;
its to Glasgow he scraped acquaintance
with a stranger on the train. Each
seemed fascinated by the others per
sonality, and time passed quickly. AT
last they reached the outskirts Of a
large city.
what place is thisT' inquired the
stranger.
81 haven't the slightest idea," replied
Harte, after looking out of the window.
A few minutes later the railway
guard opened the door of the compart-
ment and announced that they had ar
rived at Glasgow.
When Harte. showed up at the con.
sulate the next morning, the first per-
son who advanced to greet him was the
agreeable stranger, who introduced
himself as a special agent of the home
government sent to investigate charges
of neglect of duty on the part of the
consul.
The agent may have been affable, but
he was lacking in a sense Of humor,
for he evidently cabled his government
an account of the train incident, as
Harte's successor was soon after ap-
pointed

GUST MAKING BELIEVE" !"
One Way to Make This Dull Cid
World Seem Brighter.


World Seem Brighter.
There is many a failure on the part
of grown ups to comprehend the
mental processes of their imaginative
superiors-the children. Some clumsy
person calls the most charming device
of fancy another of those naughty
fibs.' BY that condemnation he sets
up a well nigh impossible barrier be
tween himself and the childish dreamer
Not long ago a grown up was accost-
ed on the street by dainty maiden of
four, who nodded bright good morn
ing and then said, isn't there going to
be a wedding down there?" pointing
across the square.
II think not" said the obtuse adult.
81 haven't heard of any wedding"
"Are you sure? I think there's going
to be one" persisted the little maiden.
81 don't see any flowers or carriages,
and l guess you are mistaken" replied
the champion of dull fact.
Then the tiny pleader drew nearer,
and with an entreating touch of her
Adlu dllO NOlC0 IOMeleu Oub VI nSttl :

please say there's going to be a we'd
ding. I'm just making believe"
Could the power of imagination go
further? Could there be simpler de-
vice for turning this dull world into a
garden of flowers and sweet music
than this same gentle making be-
lieve?"
Imagination often proves to be the
door that opens into high philosophy
of life. We all remember Dickens
brave little marchioness. did you ever
taste orange peel and water?" she de-
manded of the gay Dick Swiveller. He
replied that he never had tasted that
ardent beverage.
eff you make believe very much, it's
very NICE" said the small servant, "but
if you don't, you know, it seems as if 1t
would bear little more seasoning GER
tainly."
AS long as life has its ups and downs
it is by no means impossible that to us
all, old as well as young, there may
come a time when we shall be glad to
have acquired the accomplishment of
making believe very much.-Youth's

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

The amount of blood in the human
body is thirteenth of the body
weight
Sound moves 1,142 feet per second,
light 10000 miles second and cleo
tricity 2SS,000 miles a second.
The rotation of waterspout at the
surface of the sea has been estimated
as 354 miles an hour, or nearly six
miles a minute.
The suns light is equal to 5,563 wax
candles at one foot from the eye. 1t
would take 100000 full moons to equal
cloudless sunshine.
1t is probable that the temperature
of the moons surface at its midday is
750 degrees F. The drop at night is
probably 1000 degrees, to 250 degrees
below.
vesta is the only one of the smaller
planets which can be seen with the ma
ked eye. Its diameter is only 800 miles
and Its whole surface but one-ninth
that of Europe.
Crystallized nitrogen is one of the
greatest chemical curiosities. BY cool
ing nitrogen gas down to 367 degrees
below the freezing point and then al
lowing it to expand solid, snowlike
crystals are formed.

our Debt to Our Mothers.

Ian Macaren in The Christian En-
deavor World paid the following beau
tiful tribute to mothers:
"The person to whom you owe more
than you can ever pay or even imagine
is your mother. She endured more for
you, served you more patiently. loved
you more fondly, thought of you more
bravely, than any other person you
have known on earth or will ever know
save your wife or your husband, If in
deed they can always be excepted. If
your mother be spared to you, then are
you bound to make her a first charge
on your life. as you desire a peaceful
conscience and as you shall answer be-
fore the judgment seat of God. She
must be encompassed with every OBJ
servance of comfort and honor and
gentleness and love, with sacrifices
also, if so be it will please her, of
tastes and occupations and time and
even friendship, and after you have
done all that you can think of and any
one can suggest you will still remain a
hopeless bankrupt for the love where
with she loved you."

sToRIEs MADE WITH FEET.
Animal Tracks In the Wood Witch
Retray Identity.

Each animal makes its own kind of
track in The mud, snow or dust. No
two make exactly the same. The track
of a coon is never like that of fox,
and the track of a fox is readily dis
tinguished from that of rabbit or
small dog. And, more than that, the
track of one coon may differ from that
of his own brother, so that one can
sometimes distinguish the track Of
given individual and by seeing it on
different occasions get something like
an insight into its life. Thus famous
grizzly in the west was known by his
track. One of his toes had been cut
off by trap, and the difference that
made In his track was easy to see.
To come nearer home, our common
animals sometimes have unpleasant
experiences with steel traps. The
marks of these on their feet often add
a peculiarly that Identifies the animal
In other cases the track is extra large
or small or is crooked, but it always
IkeSps the main features of its kind.
The track of one sort of animal rarely
need be mistaken for that of another,
and the A B of tracking Is to learn
the chief kinds of footmarks that are
to be found in your region. The way to
learn tracks Is to draw those that you
find, always sketching them right from
nature, never from memory, and it Is
always best to make them exactly life
size.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Did ns He Was Told.

An impecunious constituent of Chi
cago alderman called upon the latter
at his Office last week and requested
the loan of dollar. A two dollar bill
was the smallest the alderman had.
This he handed to the caller with the
remark:
go to the cigar stand down stairs,
get a fifteen cent cigar, keep a dollar
and bring me the change"
In a few minutes the visitor reap
peared, putting contentedly at cigar,
and handed the alderman So cents. No
ticing a peculiar expression on the al
derman's face, he withdrew the cigar
from his lips long enough to inquire:
did you mean that the cigar was
for you or met"
"Get out of herer' was all the dis
gusted politician could say.

naHid,s Line.

When David Belasco and H. @. De
Mile wrote "The Charity Ball. there
was speech in it that did not please
Herbert Kelcey, leading man of the
company. The words Kelcey objected
to were quoted from one of David's
psalms.
Ignorant of its origin, Kelcey said to
Mr. De Mile:
Il don't like that line. It's bombas-
tic and old fashioned"
"The line is not mine, but David's,"
replied De Mile, referring of course to
the psalmist.

phantly. I'D recognize David Belas.

The Warhorse.

The horse in war is expensive, fragile
and fool. He is greedy. and his food
is as bulky as himself He requires an
expert to keep him efficient under hard
work and q miracle to keep him alive
under heavy fire. He must be watched
and guarded more carefully than the
lines of communication both in action
and in camp. He is coward. The race
of them that snorted "ha! ha! among
the trumpets, the noise of the captains
and the shouting" is dead, if it ever
lived at all outside the inspired mind
of the plague stricken poet. He is a
traitor and will desert to the enemy at
the first opportunity, probably with
three days rations in his saddlebags
and useful rife in the bucket.-Spec-
tator.

His CaIvinized Hat.

"a generation or two ago." said
Boston clergyman, "old DIR. Ellis was
a well known figure in Boston, being
cne of our famous Unitarian ministers,
a friend Of many Of the transcen-
dentalists. He used always to wear
white panama hat in summer. The
same hat did him season after season,
yet it never seemed to lose any of it's
fresh whiteness.
Zone day minister of the old per-
suasion and very pronounced in his
orthodoxy asked DR.. Ellis how he kept
his hat so white.
-"'That is easy said the doctor, 'for
it has been Calvinized'
"'What? said the other minister.
How do you galyanize a hat?
"I said Calyinized,' replied the Uni
tartan.
"'But what do you mean by that?'

Food md Colds.

A writer in The Lancet says: "Since
I began to study diet 1 have been as
tonished at the number of cases of
which 1 have heard, even of medical
men, who by eating less and not so
often have found that their susceptible
ity to colds has quite gone. Such facts
as I have met with point to the conclu-
sion that it is the system overcharged
with the products of food which was
not required and can act only as a poi
son to every organ in the body which
is most susceptible to colds"

uninJured Lions seldom Charge.

Like every other animal, the lion
tries to avoid man until wounded, and
it is only in exceptional cases of there
being young ones to guard or from as
tonishment at seeing the hunters so
close to them that they charge when
being tracked.
They charge with the same coughing
roar that a tiger does and come at
great speed close to the ground, not
bounding in the air, as they are repre-
sented in pictures, Their ears are
pressed close to the head, giving them
the comical appearance of being with
out ears.-London Times.

LAZY AND COLD BLOODED.
An Incident That Nearly Cost Sill
Hugh Rose His Peerage.

An Incident That Nearly Cost Sir
Hugh Rose His Peerage.
Lord Strathnairn was the most indo-
lent, lackadaisical languid person who
ever dawdled along Piccadilly. When
he was devastating central India and
winning the splendid victories that i'm
mortalized his name, he was so lazy
that he could not be got to dictate the
dispatches recording his own triumphs.
Months elapsed before these documents
could be extracted from him, and then
they were brief and meager to the last
degree One day when Sir Hugh Rose
he was entertaining a gallant company
at dinner during the crisis of the mu-
tiny
With the utmost sang froid he was
delighting those near him with one of
his orderly entered and after saluting
exclaimed, eve have captured 200 reb-
els, SIR To him the general turned
and, with that elegant courtesy Of
manner on which he prided himself,
serenely replied, "Thank you. ser
geant' But the man still remained
Again interrupting his chief, he said,
But what are we to do with them,
sir?''
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, hang them, of course" And he
resumed his anecdote.
In little While Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle of another
story by the sergeant, who came in and
said. please. sir, we've hung the lot,
sir" The general turned, bowed slight
| ly and in the sweetest manner lisped,
Thanks, sergeant-very many thanks" !"
and then went on with his anecdote as
if nothing had happened.
This story came to the ears of Queen
Victoria, and she was SO angry that it
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.
