Fasting for Health's Sake.

From the London Hospital.
We all eat more than we require, and this
daily repeated superfluity lends to stodgi-
ness. In a more primitive state OF society
meals were more irregular and the amount
Of food tailed more with the effort ex-
pended in obtaining it. Now we eat be-
cause it is a meal time; too many of us eat
not only by rule, but to repletion; while
probably all of US eat again before we are
really hungry. Day after day little more
is taken than is used, and this excess either
disturbs the liver or leases the stomach or.
circulating in hyperpiastic blood. leads to
torpor, or sometimes Is put by-out of
harms way for the Time but much to the
distress OF the patient later on-in the
form Of fat. Thus we never have an oppor-
tunity of striking a proper balance between
intake and output unless We follow the
wise maxims of the church and fast once
week. not merely abstaining from the
more toothsome delieacies but fasting hon.
estly, even to emptiness and discomfort.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
While it has been known for some time

was $50 ounces. valued at sJ035, while the
total quantity brought out since the begin
ming Of 1894 is sos ounces, valued at
about s6l 900. The chief difficulty met in
prospecting for the metal in Australia has
been the scarcity of water in the districts
where il is found. so that mining operations

Platinum is always found in the metallic
condition. generally more or less allowed

Bpecisl to the Scranton Tribune.


Towanda, July 1S,-The postmaster at
Granville Summit sends his receipts to
the postmaster at Scranton. By having
n slot machine he secured, during the
last quarter, $500 copper coins, which
We're securely wrapped in strong paper
and placed in catch-mail pouch. So
heavy were the pennies that when the
small bag was grabbed by the arm ex-
tending from the fast mail train on the
Northern Central railroad the package
broke through the pouch and the PEN
MES flew In all directions along the
tracks for quite distance. Two whole
days were spent by the postmaster his
wife, daughter, two sons and two
hired men in looking up the coin, and
all was found except 696. The lost
pennies represent more than the earn
ings of the office for a quarter, and
now it is reported that the postmaster
