SOME GOOD HEALTH MAxIMs.
Physicians Ideas That May Be Worth
Remembering.

Remembering.
A physician gives these common
sense health maxims:
Have no faith in the popular notion
that catarrhs and colds are due to
cold weather. Most often they are the
result of impure air breathed in badly
ventilated, overheated dwellings,. Adj.
rondack guides, northern trappers or
Klondike miners seldom have colds.
The inference is obvious.
Pay no attention to the idea that
late suppers are injurious. The most
vigorous and healthfest of natives
have eaten their principal meal at the
close of the days work. Let the
brutes, guided unerringly by instinct,
be our teachers. They eat heartily
before going to sleep. In healthy per.
sons the stomach knows when it has
appetite. 1t has a voice of its own.
Disregard those who say night all
is poisonous and advise you to shut
tight the windows. The air without
is infinitely purer than that within
Absence of sunlight does not poison
1t, else the millions who pass the night
under the stars would soon perish
But they don't.
Never be persuaded that bodily
strength depends upon eating much
flesh food. Meat yields fat, and. ia;
is needed by the human system; but
olive oil, nut. food, milk and butter
would answer. the purpose just as
we'll.
Finally it is prudent to bear in mind
that alcoholic stimulants are not in
dispensable in a cold climates; and
that missing a meal often saves
sick man a doctors bill and a course
of drugs.-New York Press.

ANIMALS WITH HANDS.
Kangaroos Use Theirs to Put Food Into
Their Mouths.

AangarO0s use Ihefrs TO Put FOOD Into
Their Mouths.
Kangaroos use their hands very read
lily to hold food in and to put it to
their mouths. AS their forelegs are
60 short that they have to browse in
a STOPPING position, they seem pleased
when able to cur a large bunch of
cabbage or other vegetable %provender
and to hold it in their hands to eat.
Sometimes the young kangaroo. look

hands, one, so to speak. lone floor"
above the other. In."Alice in Wonder
land" the lizard is always making
notes on a slate and then trying to
rub them out again with his fingers.
Many lizards feet are SO like hands
that it is rather surprising that they
are only used for running and climb
ing. But that is the main purpose TO
which lizards apply them. The slow,
deliberate clasping and ~unclasping Of

ments which the hands of a sleep walk

THE GARDEN or FORGIVENESS.


bhere is a garden, far, o, far away,
Kept for the souls who sinned and sui
fered most
The sword Of God forever guards the way,
And, round it's borders, camps a heav'
emily host.
A gentle wind breathes through the tufted
Rich with the scent of roses in their
And, with the wind, all sins and sorrows
Leaving a sweet contentment in their
room.
Here are no troubles; here are none that
Here come no thoughts Of sadness or de.
spair;
But fairest flowers, in fullest beauty, sleep;
And softest sunlight fills the dreaming
air.
The murmurings of fountains, low and
sweet,
Forever filing the ear and never cease.
Soothing the silence with a gentle beat.
Like kindly voices, speaking words of
peace.
And here, forever and forever, rest
The weary souls, unburdened Of their
sin;
And cursed things are here forgiven and
bless'd;
And wicked hearts are made all clean
within.

How an Actor Trains.

One OF the English actors who WIS.,
Tied the United States first two years
ago became SO popular as a matinee
hero. in spite of his obesity, that 1t
seemed as if the day of the fat actor
might have arrived at last. But the
qtar evidently lost confidence in his
ability to hold his audience IL he grew
any stouter. He returned last month
thinner by thirty pounds than he had
been. To retain these slighter pro-
portions no jockey ever went through
more strenuous training than he. He
takes a Turkish bath daily, and when
there are matinees may be found In
the hot room as early as 10 o'clock in
the morning. He fingers there as
long as health will permit and has his
reward in looking many pounds slight
er and some years younger when he
steps on the stage. But the treat
ment is heroic and the actor expresses
his own doubts as to the length of
time he will be able to keep up such
a sacrifice for the sake of his looks.
