Mrs. Cleveland's Joke.
lis is a true story.

l his is true story.
When Mrs. Grover Cleveland was
Miss frankie Folsom, the prettiest
girl in Wells college, she had as
teacher in English composition Miss
Myra Reynolds, now a professor at
the University of Chicago.
Miss Folsom handed in an essay
one day in which occurred the repre-
hensible word "pants''
Miss Reynolds promptly crossed
out the offending term and wrote in
the margin,-
Gents wear pants, gentlemen
wear pantaloons"
The correction was obviously ab-
sorbed by the fair pupil. \ few
years later. when Miss Folsom. as
Mrs. Cleveland, has become the first
lady in the land, her former teacher
received one day an imposing-looking
letter from the Executive Mansion,
Washington. On opening it a sheet
OF beautiful note-paper, bearing the
monogram and crest of the presi-
dents wife, appeared, together with
Mrs. Cleveland's card. On the Cen
ter OF the sheet was pinned simply a
newspaper clipping which read,-
Mamma said little Emerson
Highlife, of Boston. ''are the Gordon
Brownies and the De Whitneys and
the Burne-Smithsons all gone away
for the summer"
''Yes, dear. And why?"
Then, please, may I say pants
till they get homer"

Cigarettes or Success.

A School Journal devoted to physi-
ology tells of a boy who wished to
be doctor. His uncle, who was an
eminent surgeon, said to him: "1f
you want to be a successful special
ist in surgery, you will have to give
up your baseball, for it is hardening
and stiffening your hands and de-
stroying the delicate touch you will
need in surgery"
The boy, who would rather play a
game OF ball than eat his dinner any
day, decided that to be surgeon was
better than TO be good ball player
and he gave up the the good for the
best.
Not every boy would be compell-
ed to take such a choice, but as the
paper goes on to say the choice comes
in other ways.
With hundreds of boys it is be.
tween cigarettes and success. School
work in physiology shows boys that
whatever enjoyment a boy may &c,
out of sucking narcotic fumes from
a paper tube, he has to pay for in
failures in business when he rubs
against the boy Or man whose brain
is clear whose heart is not weakened
by the cigarette.

Primitive Paper Making.
Iouth's Companion.

Ioutll , NOll1pdlllOA.
In Madagascar kind of writing
paper used by the native
notables and the fetish priests is
made from the bark of shrub named
paper used by some of the native
hahova The bark fiber is boiled
and macerated until a thin paste is
obtained. Then leaf of the plant
called ravinla, or travellers tea, is
coated with pulp, formed from a par
ticular. kind of rice, and over this is
spread the hahova paste, on both
sides of the leaf. After the coating
has thoroughly dried and adhered, it
is polised with smoth shell, and the
paper is ready for use in writing.
The manufacture of the ink employed,
like that OF the paper itself, is a
monopoly of the notables and priests
who use it. This paper may be bought
by European travellers at about a
cent and half per sheet, but only a
few hundred sheets are produced in
a month.

EFFECTS OF FASTING.
al After Ten Days If No Water
Be Taken-Some Benefits.

Every living body requires guam
Fifty Of food that is commensurate
with the tissues it consumes in the
performance of its functions. When
nourishment is withheld, says the
Youths Companio::, the body IS
forced to subsist on its own tissues.
The fat is first appropriated, then the
muscles and other structures. The
emaciation and loss Of strength are
so rapid that life has rarely been
maintained longer than ten days if
neither food nor drink was taken. If,
however an abundance Of water is
drunk, the wasting is greatly retard-
ed and life can be supported for a
much longer time provided that the
body is kept at complete rest. Thus
restricted, fasting is often made a
valuable adjunct to other measures
in the treatment of disease. A linn
itation of the diet is more frequently
resorted to than an entire withdraw
al of nourishment.
Restriction OF diet is often valuable
also as a means of preventing illness.
Most persons are employed in manual
labor eat more than is requisite for
their support. Overeating seldom
yields an increase of nutrition. The
excess of food, on the contrary, i'm
poses a burden upon the liver, kid
neys and other organs whose Office
is to free the blood Of efete matter.
When this burden becomes excessive,
illness is induced. Headache, loss
of appetite, lassitude, and all the other
symptoms commonly assembled ul-
der the term "billiusness" are the
usual manifestations of it. The ac-
emulation of poisons is further fav-
ored by neglect of drink, when too
little water is taken into the system
to maintain the secretions and carry
off the waste.
The waste products which result
from an overindulgence in meat are
more acutely poisonous than those
from vegetables. They belong to
the uric acid group of poisonous sub
stances, which are regarded as par
ticular1y active in the production OF
gout, rheumatism and neuralgia. Or
if the quantity of animal food taken
be so excessive and remain so long
in the intestines as to undergo de-
composition through the action of
bacteria ptomaine-poisoning is pro-
duced, and it may be so severe as to
be distinguished with difficulty from
typhoid fever.
In the less severe cases relief is
promptly secured. by abstaining from
meat for a few days, fastening the
removal of the toxic matter by the
drinking of as much pure water as
the stomach will tolerate, or by
means of laxative mineral water.
Muscular exercise and bathing are
also advantageous for prevention.
