FOOD AND WEATHER.

why People Eat More In Winter
Than They Do In Summer.
It has been shown that the consump-
ton Of food increases in direct proper
ton to the decrease in temperature.
We eat more in winter than in summer,
and the inhabitants Of the temperate
regions require more food than those
Of the tropic zone.
This Is due to several causes. In the
first place air is denser in colder eli
mates and more oxygen is taken in
with each breath, so that greater sup
ply of carbon-derived from foods
necessary in order that the two gases
may combine in their proper proper
tons for the maintenance of bodily
heat Again, the inhabitant Of a cold
climate usually has to work harder
than the more fortunate southerner,
whose wants decrease as nature be-
comes more generous. The harder the
daily labor the greater the amount Of
food required.
Climate not only affects the quaint
ty but also the quality of the food con-
sumed The Eskimo could not live up
on the dainties of nature which load
the tables of the poorest in the tropics,

Understanding Poker.

The women believe that every man
knows all about poker, but only few
men do. 1t is true, however, that near
ly every man pretends to understand
the game thoroughly. When there is a
poker joke at a theater all the men
smile and look at their women folks
with a sort of pity, but the fellows who
smile know very little about the game
and are afraid to play 1t, for in almost
every little social affair connected with
chips and pairs there is a tin horn
gambler industriously engaged in work
ing chumps. The few men who really
understand poker have habit of win
ming the money Of the men who pre-
tend to understand it, so the large ma
jority of men know nothing about the
game further than that a good hand is
hard to get.-Atchison Globe.

A Popular Target.

During the famous Fenian raids in
the seventies of the last century Colo
rel Albert Clarke of Boston went to
the Fenian camp near the Canadian
border. The camp of the Canadian
troops was but short distance away.
One day Clarke, wearing a light col
cred stovepipe hat, was strolling along
through the fields a mile or so from
camp. Suddenly the report of a rifle
rang out, and his hat fell to the ground
Clarke picked 1t up and damned it
down more tightly over his head An
ether report sounded In the opposite d.
rection, and Clarke then realized that
his hat was the cause of the firing. He
started to run and the bullets began to
fly thicker and faster. When, after a
hard run, he reached a piece Of woods
that afforded shelter he looked at his
new tile, and to his dismay 1t was a
total wreck There were all Of twenty
bullet holes in 1t, but not one struck its

Nature has just one pigment on her
palette with which she produces all the
marvellous tints of beauty, and that one
pigment is the blood. The shell like pink
beneath the finger nails, the delicate rose
of the cheek, the cherry ripeness of the
lips, the irridescent brilliance of the eyes
are all produced by the blood. Just as
the permanence of a beautiful painting
will depend upon the purity of the colors
with which it is painted, so the perman-
ence of beauty depends on the purity of
the blood. Paint, powder and cosmetics
won't avail to preserve beauty. Beauty
begins in the blood. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is true beautifier, be-
cause it provides for nature that pure
blood with which alone she can paint.
The use of this medicine will cleanse the
skin, heighten the complexion, brighten
the eyes. and give to face and form that
radiance of health which is the greatest
