overeatIna-What Ia ,t7

Overeating is an elastic term. Ac.
oording to Good Housekeeping, "to
fly into q rage or to give way to
prostrating grief is to turn tho chief
of secretions into more or less ac-
tive poison. Concentrated thought
or strenuous muscular exertion i'm
mediately before or after q meal will
make the partaker of q light lunch
guilty of overeating.
"ln its effects undertaking is
worse than overeating. There are a
few things of which it is very diff
cult to eat too much-dead ripe
blackberries, pears or peaches pick
ed from the trees in q state of abso-
Lutte ripeness, sweet apples that are
mellow through and through and
grapes as sweet as honey"

Had Thought Him In the Pale.

The quaint sayings of little folk
furnish an abundant supply of
amusing anecdotes. A Baltimore
lady, an Episcopalian, relates the
following story, which she declares
is authentic:
ssMrs. J. of Georgia, a relative of
a prominent bishop of the Episcopal
church, had a lit1io daughter who
had just begun to attend school.
Mrs. J. was herself devout Episco-
palian, and her little one had been
carefully trained.
Gone day the child returned from
school almost in tears. She said a
little Jewish girl in her class had
treated her badly, and she began to
speak slightingly of her school
mates race, when her mother said
reprovingly:
"My dear, you must not talk in
that way. The Jews were Gods
chosen people. Our Lord himself
was Jew
CATER a moments deep thought
the child replied in tone in which
horror and regret were equally
blended:
"toh, mamma, I didn't know
that. Pm 80 sorry. I always thought
he was an Episcopalian.' '"-Balti-
more Sun.

The Wise Old Fox.

Once upon time there was a1
old fox who had accumulated {
great deal of property and was tax
ing life with real comfort. One da,
his three married sons called to SCI
him.
Gather" said the Oldest son
wouldn't it be well for you to deec
your property to us and relieve your.
self of the care of it?"
eBy doing that" added the sec.
ond, Eve can avoid all trouble wher
the sad day comes in which we must
part with you"
"And then," went on the other
you can make your home with u.s.
each in turn, and thus give pleasure
to us all"
ssSons," answered the old fox, "it
is very kind in you to consider my
welfare, but I prefer things as they
are. My will is made, and when i
am gone you may divide my proper
tN equally between YOU"
Moral.-There are times when we
have to take the will for the deed

Eating Too Much.

Eating too much is a disease of
civilization. The unciyilized seldom
get too much to eat, or their feast
ings are preceded or followed by so
many days of famine that german
dizing leaves no evil trace. Where
food is abundant, oxygen scarce,
muscles soft through inactivity and
the regular occupation tax upon
the brain and nerves the feeling
that one has eaten too much or has
not eaten enough is a frequent and
troublesome intruder. At times
there is combined sense Of being
at once i'll nourished and overfed.
This means simply that one has eat
EN- too much Of improper foods and
not enough Of the right ones. A
famous rule for the cure Of dyspep-
sia is simple and succinct -s9Take
on your platc ell you mean to eat
and eat but twice q day.n-Good
Housekeeping.

Tho Hardest worklna Animal.

AS regards physical work, g term
which must be taken to include en-
durance, it would be difficult to de-
eide between the claims of the horse
and the camel. AS regards carrying
power horse in fair condition viii
carry $50 pounds over twenty-five
miles Of road in eight hours, while
camel will carry a weight Of 1000
pounds over twenty-five miles of
desert daily for three days. A horse
succumbs in from four to five days
without drinking. The camel be-
gins work in its fourth year and
goes on in increasing strength and
endurance for about fifty years,
while the average Of q horses work
ing life is sixteen. On the whole,
then, counting actual work perform
ed and power Of endurance, the bal
ance appears to rest on the camel.

But still the drum remained as
mute as the harp Of Tara's Hall

Infuriated at this open disobcdi-
ence Of orders, and in the presence
of his commanding officer, too, the
colonel rode down the line and as

Smith. '"The old drum is full oj

many are not allowed to marry un-
less they have a certain private in
come and must make a deposit Of
10000 marks cash ($7,500) with
the. government before the marriage
can take place. This is deposited to
their credit in the public treasury,
and they receive 8 per cent interest
per year. At the death Of the Off
Ger the principal is refunded to his
family. The purpose Of this rule is
to protect the government from the
burden Of destitute officers families
and also to protect the officer
against court martial, for the regu-
1ations prohibit him from mourning

MAKING a MILLION.
The Way In Which Many New York
Fortunes Were St-r,.d

me way In which Many New York
Fortunes Were Started.
II you had not cent in the world
ana wanted to be a millionaire. how
would you set about to be one? !?
Would it occur to you to buy an un-
improved plot of ground up town on
credit, building lot ali covered
with rccks and thistles, tin cans and
Old shoes and the ashes from tho
neighborhood stoves? Some men
would consider themselves still
worse off with the lot to pay for
less.
Some would, yet others would
consider themselves launched on the
trip for fortune.
There are men in New. York CITY
who are very rich and who began
their moneyed careers in Just That
way. First they got building lot
"on tick" Then they dug cellar,
also 'on tick" The moment they
had the hole dug they could borrow
money to build the first story of a
house. The moment the first story
was up they could borrow more
money with which to adj n second
story. With the completion of each
new story moro capital was obtaina-
bic, and SO the house was finished
or credit. At this stage they were
still penniless, but owed Tor a build
ing lot and fine building. Then
they sold the building for as much
more than it cost as they could get,
and the balance Of profit was the
nest egg of their fortune.
This mode of getting rich is being
practiced all around us every day
by many men.
