An Extra Pair OF Lungs.

II have known aged people. men past
eighty, to- take their cold baths every
morning and be as spry as you please"
says Eugene. Wood in Everybody's
Magazine. zone old fellow used to
toddle down to the beach when he had
to wade bare leggel through the snow
two or three blocks. 1t carried him off
at the last, though. for he died just
about four weeks before he was eighty
four. And if those Of low vitality who
ought to take the chill off the bath
were to take it ice cold and rub them
selves like sixty afterward l don't think
their vitality void be low. I think
it they got their b!ood purified by prac-
tically adding another pair Of lungs to
their outfit they would soon be as chip
per as anybody"

A MIGHTY PREACHER.
John Ross Was Strong Of Arm and
q Good

81 .H - OOOsA C10nCEs .,tH NH3t
John Ross was a Scotch minister
who flourished in the early part of the
seventeenth century. Tales Of his won
derful deeds are told to this day in his
former parish of Blair. At one time
the reverend gentleman walked to
Mause, a distance Of about three miles,
for the purpose Of seeing a certain
farmer and II possible inducing him to
come to church, where he had never
been. He found him fishing in the riv-
er and asked to be allowed to have a
cast. II never lend my rod to any
body" said the farmer. ''But," replied
the minister. Il have come all the way
expressly to see you, and l must have
q cast" The farmer, who was a very
strong man and had never been beaten
In a fist fight, offered to fight for it.
"All right" said the minister, and he
gave the farmer such a mauling that
he was glad to give up his rod. But it
was a different kind of fishing that the
minister had come for. He asked the
farmer to keep the rod and conduct
him to his house at Mause. When they
arrived the minister said, Nov, you
go on your knees and pray" telling
him that he would not leave till he did
SO.
So the farmer fell on his knees and
cried. "Oh, Lord, deliver me from this
man." '"Stop! said the minister. 'That
is very good. l hope you may always
be able to do as well. Now, you have
to promise to come to the kirk next
Sunday" This the farmer did. Not
long afterward he became a leading
elder.

woman's Opinion Of "candida."

Candida, the woman in the Can
dida" play, has been spoken of by a
woman, who has given the character
much study and thought, as follows:
"In the first place, I like the charac-
ter because the story grows up about
a woman who is doing a real woman's
work in the world, attending to all
the petty details of her own and her
husbands home, and doing the work
herself. Most heroines in plays
either have things done for them or
they are heroic working girls, strug-
Cling against all sorts of trials ana
temptations. But Candida does the
work herself, and rises to the dignity
of it. Then, too, she is pure womanly,
making the husband the master OF his

Too RAPID EATING.
1t IL One of the Most Fruitful Causes
Of Ill Health.

1t IL One of the Most Fruitful Causes
Of Ill Health.
One of the most fruitful causes of i'll
health and bad compilations is the habit
OF rapid eating. 1t is growing more
and more prevalent in this country.
We really haven't time to eat properly,
and we have very little time to sleep,
yet we hope to retain youth and beau
ty.
A woman may work ever sc hard and
be under a great tension while work
Ing, but If she will take time enough
to eat "a half hour at the least, with a
half hour rest at noon), and will sleep
seven or eight hours of the twenty
four she will greatly increase her USE
fulness.
With the habit of rapid eating comes
an increase in the amount Of liquids
taken during the meals. Food properly
masticated can be easily swallowed,
but If i'll chewed 1t must be washed
down with liquid. This, of course, less
ems the flow Of saliva, dilutes the gas
trio juices and interferes greatly with
the process Of digestion.
Those who have tried thorough mas
dcation Of their food with no liquid,
unless at the end or a half hour after
the meal, have learned that the food
tastes better, the meal Is more salts
factory and the appetite is appeased
with less food, the digestion is aided,
leaving n much more comfortable
than the hasty meal. A few days
trial will convince the most skeptical,
for the stomach responds promptly to
decent treatment. 1t expects it. 1t
deserves it.
One of the greatest mistakes of the
age is rapid eating, and n of the
greatest curses is the v dyspep-
STA caused by it.

Two

A negro hack driver in Washington
was driving along the street when he
encountered a funeral. A long line of
coaches was behind the hearse, which
was moving along at a lively rate. The
negro was superstitious and did not
want to cross between the carriages in
the funeral procession. He tried to
drive around in front of the hearse, but
could not make sufficient speed. After
driving alongside the hearse for two
blocks the negro called out to the driv-
er: "Say. boss, hold up an let me go
past. My passenger is in a hurry and
yours isn't"
