The evil habit Of going too long with
out food is one from which many peo-
pie suffer In the present hurryIng age.
Men sit in their offices. women rush
about Mt their shopping. and both be
come so absorbed In their interest that
the period of hunger is allowed to pass
and the period of fatigue and depres-
sion set In. The worst OF II Is that.
once the second stage Is reached. the
desire for food Is gone. and after many
hours abstinence the man or woman
is too exhausted to digest n meal when
either OF them gets II. To avoid this
extreme, ii Is only necessary to take
the most light and rapid repast during
the hungry stage A glass OF milk or
merely biscuit while hungry viii pre-
vent the after loss OF appetite.-Science

The Borrowed Days.

According to Scottish freside
rhyme, alluded to by Sir Thomas
Brown In his vulgar Errors" three
days were borrowed by March from
April, with view to the destruction
Of some sheep, but the popular fiction
Of the borrowed days is really of older
date.
/ In the Complaint Of Scotland"
printed in 1913, we find: There eftir
1 entfit in ane creme forest, to con-
tempill the tender yong frutes, becaus
the borial biastis Of the three borouing
dais Of Marche he'd chaissit fragrant
fiureise of evyrie frut-tree far athourt
the fieldis." 81
The origin and meaning Of the ex-
preston are obscure. 1t may probably
be founded upon that relapse into win
try weather which is often noticed at
the close Of March and which seems
to snatch few days from the promise
Of opening spring. A similar fancy
has prevailed In the highlands of Scot
land in connection with the first two
months of the year.-London Answers.

The Meanine Of orange blossoms.

The orange tree Is regarded as a
prince among trees and the emblem Of
genius. A peculiarity Of this tree Is
that it bears fruit and flowers at the
same time. Its leaves are evergreen
and as it grows older 1t grows In bea j.
ty and fruitfulness, its blossom fiIliy :
the air with It's fragrance. 1t is in
deed a fit emblem of marriage prom, =
and hopes. The orange tree Is consid
cred typical of love because, though iIS
fruit is golden and its flavor and scent
delicious, its rind Is bitter. and as every
one knows who has experienced 1t Gu
pid's dart causes pain. The orange Is
emblematic of gratitude as well as OF
genius and oye-Philadelphia Inquirer.

A French chef who prepared a snow.

1874 is said to have been the first to
make that cool luxury known as ice
cream. Lord Bacon was possessed OF
the knowledge that there was a proc
ess Of congelation by means Of snow
