OBESITY A DISEASE.
H Is Not, as RuIe, the Result of
 LaziDess or Gluttony.

H Is Not, as a Rule. the Result of
 Laziness or GIuttony.
 It is mistake and an injustice to many abstemious folk Co assume that all fat persons are gluttons or large eaters. Very many excessively corpu- lent people, especially women, are small eaters, while some of the most doughty trenchermen are gaunt and thin.
 It is not the quantity so much as the quality of the food one eats which de termines the putting on of flesh. Yet it is not always the kind of food that makes the obese, for some stout people eat very sparingly of sugars and starches, while there are large con sumers of sweets who never put on flesh. In such cases it is a question of constitution, often of heredity and not at all, or very little, one of diet.
 Another prevalent error in regard to fat people is that they are inert or lazy and never exercise. Of course exercise does increase the processes of nutri- tion and so leads to the burning up of superfluous fat, but at the same time it causes an increase in the appetite and thus tempts to the consumption of a greater quantity of food. So one thing balances the other, and want of exercise alone is not very potent cause of obesity. Many very fat pe9 sons are, it is true, sluggish, but they hory hnonr1oo gO eiv flesh, for it makes a great difference whether one carries 150 pounds about when one walks or whether it is neccs sary to propel half as much again or even double the weight It is a trc mendous handicap, and there is small wonder that the lightweights do the most exercising.
 Obesity, indeed, is usually a disease and not merely the result of laziness CT gluttony. It's cause lies deep down in the animal economy, in among those mysterious chemical changes by whcl the food we take into the mouth is converted into blood and bones and muscles, skin, hair and brain cells Ii can often be warded off by a proper diet and mode of living, especially if taken in hand from the very first and not allowed to get the upper hand, but the tendency to stoutness will gener- ally persist through life and can only be modified, but never removed.
 Any treatment for the radical re- moval of flesh should be carried out un- der the advice of a physician, as vo- lent measures directed to this end may be productive of terrible harm to the onstitution.-Youth's Companion.

why kuropatkIn Is lowed.

Gen. Kuropatkin's hold over men is
due to his reputation for absolute fear
lessness. Five years ago he received
the Information that the great powder
magazine at st. Petersburg and that
at Toulon, France. were to be blown
up within twenty-four hours. The
general was in bed when he heard the
news. but he at once got up and
started for st. Petersburg without los.
ing moment. He summoned all the
staff of the magazine and went on a
round of inspection. He found every
thing In order and as a proof of his
satisfaction ordered every one in tho
magazine to take three days holiday
and to leave at once. He then col
lected new garrison and new stan
and set ring of sentries all round
the magazine. The consequence was
that nothing happened to st. Peters
burg magazine. but that at Toulon
was blown up the next day.
