sERTIoN OF DR.. osLER.

A recent issue of the Galveston
contained the following arti-
Gle, called forth by the assertion Of
DR.. Osler that all men should be
when they reached the
age of 60 years:
With the exception of Solomon and
Alexander the Great history furnishes
the names of no men who have ae-
cOmplished really great works under
the age OF 40, and as both these men
died before the age mentioned it would
be unreasonable to believe that mad
they lived still greater deeds might
have been performed or wiser coun-
sells been possessed by humanity as
the products Of their ripe ages. Moses
was no youth when he began the
greatest work ever essayed of man, be
was away beyond the chlorOfOrm age
fixed by the wise gentleman from
Johns Hopkins. Paul had just begun
the work of his life at the age of 80
and at so was in the zenith OF his
mighty labOrs. Caesar was so years OF
age when he crossed the RubicOn and
began to write his name high on his
tOry's page. HerOdotus, the father OF
history, spent the greater part of his
life in travelling, and died at the age
of 81 but made a record of his studies
al a mature age; COnfucius spent his
youthful years in study, but his teach

at the age of IS, was never accused of
senility, and ii was only his political
opponents who ever intimated that
he had outlived his usefulness, until
DR.. Osler discovered the fact; Bis
marck was 80 years of age when he
entered upon his history-making ca
reer. and was IS before he retired
from active public life; Huxley was Al

the world the result of his researches;

ties; AgassiZ lived 10 be Sc years OF

all probabilities the learned medical
gentleman has fallen a victim TO the
pernicious system of averaging. which
seems to have become quite popular
with certain people who have a pre-
mise to prove. The average of human
life is placed at about 40, and doubt
less DR.. 0sler concluded that as the
average has been located at this age,
therefore all great accomplishments
of the world must take place before
this age is reached. The fact is that
men who DO anything in this world
are not average men and must BE-
placed in a class by themselves. II
might be added incidentally that DR..
Osler, who is now Sc years old. was
past the age Of 40 before ne himself
developed the remarkable skill as a
diagnostican that made him noted.

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

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-ine dishes, table decorations,
etc.
In eating we must take time to chew
our food thoroughly. This serves a
double purpose first 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 ac-
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 a little
while before returning to our work

A DIFFICULT PENANCE.
Irish Pilgrims to the SkeIIig Rocks
Risk Their Lives.

Irish Pilgrims to the SkeIIig Rocks
Risk Their Lives.
Ten miles off the coast Of Kerry, in
the west of ireland, lie the Skellig
rocks, one of which has been for years
the scene of a difficult penance. A zig
gag path leads up some 700 feet to a
lighthouse, but 700 feet more must be
climbed before the summit is reached,
where stand the ruins of St Finian's
monastery and a cross of st. Michael.
Here on the anniversary of st. Mi
chael devotees risk their lives in per-
forming their devOtions. First they
have to squeeze themselves through the
Needles Eye, a tunnel in the rock thir-
ten feet long, the passing up which is
like the ascent of a chimney. Then
they creep on all tours up the Stone
of Pain, on whose smooth surface one
false step is fatal; then. getting astride
the Spindle, a rock 1,500 feet above the
Atlantic and projecting some ten feet,
each pilgrim must ride a cock horse
to st. MichaeTs Cross say a Pater-
noster and shuttle back as best he can.

Antiouity of Brewing.

The ancient Egyptians understood
and practised the art of brewing sew
eraI centuries before the Christian era,
as did also the ancient Greeks. Span
iards and Britons made a fermented
drink from wheat, which was used in
Spain under the name ceria, and also
in Gaul Tacitus tells US that in his
day, about 100 A. D., beer was the COM
mon beverage and that the Germans
understood how. to convert barley into

ORIGIN OF WHIST.
The Game Was First Called Triumph
and Afterward Trump.

and Afterward Trump.
Whist was first called triumph, a
name which was afterward corrupted
into trump. The 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
1870 to 1860 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 profitably en-
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 1t
was not until 1860 that the philOsoph-
zeal era can be said to have begun. and
the origin of the new movement was a
knot of young men at Cambridge. Eng
land, known as the Little Whist school.
This body kept records of its games,
but no one thought of making the data
known until 1861. Conference in the
system of play was still wanting, and
this was supplied i'm 1864 with DIR.

the estate and that whatever money
he borrowed on it was to be shared by
his associates.
