\ ON READING AND -AI...ra
Doubt WkIther Reading Makes Flu
s,.3sr Man. ~,


Books sre no substitute for tall
says the Spectator. They como on
Of talk and 60 back into talk. W.
doubt ii reading alone ever made "a
full man." It has been said that read
ing with some, one else's head: but
talking Is thinking-if we may borrow
a smile from the motor car-with
two head power. AS q bookworm Is to
the man OF the world, so Il the silent
thinker to the talking thinker. The
man who docs rot talk Is ! stranger
upon earth. He does not know his
fellows. and. they do not know him
and those we do not knowSwe cannot
greatly like. Little do men perceive
what solitude is and how far it ex
tendeth, for crowd is not company
and faces are but gallery Of pic
lures, and talk but tinkling cymbal
where there is no love-" Yet man
may do heroic deeds and never talk
1T all in our sense Of the word, and
he may be a learned man and never
express an opinion on any subject OF
the first consequence. All the same,
we agree with Bacon that, inasmuch
as he is shut up in himself, "closeness
doth impair and . little psrisA his u
derstanalng.~

Bride Boys With Cigarettes.

Briblng boys with cigarettes to at
tend Bible classes is certainly a new
departure. This has lately been done in
an English parish, and the vicar was
naturally very much incensed. One
Sunday the teacher of the class dis.
tributed packets of cigarettes, and the
bays said that the large attendance
on that occasion was due to the proE'
tse of the cigarettes. Previously some
Of them had received cigars. The
practice has, however, been put q
stop to, owing to the wears strong
and reasonable objection to any such
system. 4

Some lizards have an extra eye on the

THE ART OF EATING.
Food Must Please the Mind as Well
as the Palate.


Pawlow has established the physio-
logical Importance of the mental state
on digestion, having shown, for In
stance. that .delicacies produce secre-
ton of gastric juice as soon as they are
perceived by the eye. even before they
are eaten.
The food must not only be palatable,
but must be served in an attractive
manner-fine dishes. table decorations,
etc.
In eating we must take time to chew
our food thoroughly. This serves a
double purpose-frst. through the act
of mastication the coarser particles Of
food are broken up; second, more sa-
Iva is secreted and is thoroughly mix
ed with the food. The digestion of
starch is thus materially aided, and
the proteids are made more easily &C
cessible to the action OF the gastric
| juice.
Water should accompany each meal
| 1t increases the appetite and the en-
| joyment Of food
After eating we should rest little
| while before returning to our work.

ORIGIN OF WHIST

Whist was first called triumph.
name which was afterWard corrupted
into trump. Tile eighteenth century
saw whist in its primitive form, the
whole object of the game being to win
tricks by leading high cards or by
trumping. Then came the era of Hoyle,
which may be said to have lasted from
1880 to 1850 and taught players to
think not only of their own hands, but
of the other hands also, and to take
advantage of the positions of the cards
in them. Hoyle also taught that
trumps might be more probably em-
ployed than in simple trumping and
showed that they might be used to dis
arm the adversary and to obtain sec
ondary advantage in trick making by
other suits OF less apparent power. It
was not uEsjl 1860 that the philosoph-
| ical era can be said to have begun. and
