FOOD AND THE SEXES.
The Male Human Needs to Ent More
Than the Female.

Than the Female.
According to writer in the Lancet,
the male human needs more food than
the female not only on account Of his
larger stature, but also because he is
the more katabolic of the two. The
man tends to expend energy and the
woman to store it up in the form Of
fat; he burns the faster. This sexual
difference shows itself in the very
blood. The man has a larger percent
age of chromocytes than the woman,
showing that he needs proportionate-
ly larger quantity of oxygen in order
to maintain his more active combus-
ton, fact which one may associate
with his comparative freedom from
chlorosis. Moreover, weight for weight,
his pulmonary capacity is greater than
that of the woman, whose smaller re-
spiratory need is further shown by the
facility with which she can without
discomfort diminish her breathing
power by means of the corset.

Some Mistakes In Which the Moon,
SUN and Wind Figure.

The moon proves terrible pitfall to
most writer's. Wilkic Collins once per-
formed the marvellous feat Of making
it rise in the west. Rider Haggard, in
king SOlomon's Mines" relies for the
effective rendering Of one OF his most
thrilling scenes upon an eclipse OF the
new moon.
Coleridge placed a star between the
horns of the crescent moon, forgetting
that to be visible in such position the
star would have to be between the
earth and the moon or, say, 100000
miles away only.
Next to the moon perhaps the sun is
responsible for more glaring errors
than any single concrete cause. At
the beginning Of 4 certain famous nov
ell. the title of which a few years back
was in everybody's mouth, an invalid
characters room was said to have
been lighted by one window looking
directly toward the cast. Yet at the
end of the book, when the invalid dies,

part this life in food Of glory, suf:-

4 RESTORATION BEAU.
Daily Programme OF Dandy In
ENGLAND During Charles Time.

England During Charles Time.
The history of an ordinary day OF
restoration beau was something like
this: From about 10 till y he received
visitors in his sleeping chamber, where
he lay in state, with his periwig, thick
ly powdered, lying beside him on the
coverlet. Near at hand, Oh his dress
ing table, the curious visitor might
have noticed some little volumes OF
amatory verse, 4 canister of Lisbon or
Spanish snuff, smelling bottle and
perhaps few fashionable trinkets.
AS soon as he deemed proper the
beau arose and with Incredible diff
Guilty proceeded to put on all his
charms, to perfume his garments, to
soak his hands in washes for the sake
of producing whiteness and deicacy'
to tinge his cheeks with carminatiVe
in order to give them that gentle
blush which nature had denied them,
to arrange a number Of patches upon
his face so as to produce the effect OF
moles and dimples, to dip his pocket
handkerchief in rosewater and to pow
der his linen so as to Danish from It
the smell of soap. to consume quarter
OF an hour in the attempt to fasten
his crarat, so long again in the en-
deavor to adjust his wig and to cock
his lat, as long again in the contem-
plation of his charms in the looking
glass and as long again in the practice
of such smiles as would display to the
best advantage the ivory whiteness OF
his teeth-these We're the processes
through which he who desired to hS-
ure as beau of the first magnitude
was compelled in that age to pass.
The character Of the beau, so far as
his outward and personal appearance
was concerned, was now complete, and
as in those days fashionable gentlemen
used their legs to a much less extent
than they do now our imaginary beau
would have directed his valet to order
a sedan chair without delay. Into
this he stepped and was borne to the
fashionable haunt-to the mall in st.
James park or perhaps to the more
ceremonious parade in Hyde park
where. like a butterfly, he delighted to
futter in the train Of some jilting
beauty, who gioried in nothing so
much as Ian eQuipage Of fools" and
who was perfectly willing for the
nonce to furnish him with an excuse
for roasting her in a tavern at night

shed, there came a time to think it over.
and / made up my mind that there was
better way to settle such disputes
than that. And from that hour until
this it has been the thought and theme
uppermost in my mind.
And as years OF experience have
passed, and L have noticed and studied
every feature of the question every trait
