Rules For Riaht Eating.

The rules for eating, which ought to
be part Of every child's A B Cs.
are few and simple, though neglected
by half of the adult population.
Expressed In don'ts, they are:
Don't eat in hurry; don't eat when
tired; don't forget to chew well; don't
drink much with meals-do 1t before
don't eat all one kind of food; don't
take much cold food at one time.
Most of us live as II unconscious
that there are such things as laws Of
health whose violation brings pain and
sickness. The stomach will bear as
much abuse and neglect as any organ
Of the body, perhaps more than most
of them. But when 1t rebels there is
usually one more cross dyspeptic i'm
flicted on society and destined to spend
the rest OF his days alternating be-
tween n diet Of soft eggs aud toast and
sundry excursions into mince pies, pork
and cabbage and other things that he
likes, but which make him miserable.

He Hung on to the Record.

A fish story heard while camping
involves an old man who had little re-
gard for the truth. Two young men
made 1t up to go to the old gentlenlan's
house and outgeneral him by telling
the biggest lie to the old man. who
held the record. After being at the
old mans house some time one Of them
asked the old gentleman if he had
heard about the big fire. He said he
had not and asked them where it was.
The young man told him gasoline
launch had exploded on the river and
the whole river was on fire. The old
man sat quiet for d moment. then turn
ed to his wife and said. Mother. | told
you something terrible had happened

Star ScintiIIation.

Much of the beauty of the stars de-
pends upon their scintillatiOn. The
multitudinous flashing Of their tiny
rays gives a wonderful life and bril-
lance to winters night The great
star Sirius eXcites the most admira-
tion when. near the horizon, it corus-
Gates with rainbow hues. But the
astronomer would be glad If he could
put stop to the scintillation of the
stars. That unsteadiness of their light
is one Of the chief obstacles he has to
overcome in studying them with the
telescope. Scintillation has generally
been regarded as due only to light
disturbances in the atmosphere. But
as recent observations have shown that
red stars scintillate less than white
ones it has been suggested that the
causes for some of the essential diff
ferences in the scintillations of differ
ent stars may be in the stars them
selves. There is no doubt, however,
that the main cause of scintillation de-
pends upon the condition Of the air.

A cabby stuna.

Foreigners often fall prey to the
inscriptions wiles Of the British cabby,
who basely takes advantage Of the
strangers want of familiarity with
English idiOm, coinage and locality.
We have heard of the intelligent for
eigner being driven about six statute
miles in journey from London bridge
to Charing Cross. That cabby got the
best of the transaction, but recent
attempt to impose upon foreign Gre
dulity was frustrated cleverly by a son
Of Gaul, whose taste for joking led him
to try to bamboozle cabby into at
tempting 1t with him. He demanded
In exceedingly broken English to be
driven to certain place, the fare to
which was exactly shilling. 1t may
be remarked that he really could speak
English as well as he could his moth
er tongue. On arriving at his destina-
tlon he asked, still In struggling fash
ion:
"'Ow mooch ave to pay?'
Five shillings," promptly responded
the cabby.
"And 'ow mooch Is shillings :"
Queried the traveller, taking out three
half crowns and laying them across his
palm.
Them three's right" said the cabby,
pointing to the coins.
"Ohr' said the Frenchman. Then,
dropping his assumed imperfect ac-
quaintance with the vernacular, "Well.
here's a bob for you," he said and de-
parte1, leaving his erstwhile jehu
standing with perplexed expression
on his face which took some time to
disappear.-London Tit-Bits.

Sharks and the Dead Whale.

The presence of any large quantity
of easily obtainable food is always
sufficient to secure the undivided at
tention of the shark tribe. When "cut-
ting in" whales at sea, have often
been amazed at the incredible num-.
bers of these creatures that gather In
short space of time, attracted by
some mysterious means from heaven
only knows what remote distances. 1t
has often occurred to us when whal-
ing in the neighborhood Of New Zea-
land to get a sperm whale alongside
without a sign of a shark below or a
bird above. Within an hour from the
time of our securing the vast mass
of flesh to the ship the whole area
within at least an acre has been alive
with seething multitude of sharks,
while from every quarter came drift
ing silently.an incalculable host of sea
birds, converting the blue surface Of
the sea into the semblance of plain
Of new fallen snow.
The harpooners and officers from
their lofty position on the cutting
stage slew scores upon scores by SIM
ply dropping their keen edged blub-
Der spades upon the soft crowns of the
struggling fish, the only place where
a shark is vulnerable to instant death.

His Cheerful Invitation.

are always fighting each other After
recent battle the victorious Johnnie
was urged by his mother to go and
make friends with his fallen foe. She
even offered to give him party IL he
would go over and invite Willie to
come to that festivity. After much
urging Johnnie promised to do as his
mother wished. So the party came
off at the appointed time and was yio-

Willie did not come.

term benefit of peerage' implies. A
peer can demand IL private audience Of
the sovereign to represent his views on
matters of public welfare For treason
or felony he can demand to be tried by
his peers. He cannot be outlawed In
any civil action, nor can he be arrested
unless for an indictable offense, and he
is exempt from serving on juries. He

1t is rare indeed that a Democratic
representative in congress from the
wild and Woolly west has the distin-
guished honor of a correspondence
with his excellency, the governor of
Massachusetts, even on a public
question. This honor has lately come
to me. 1t will be remembered by
those who pay any attention to poll
tics that the Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr.,
was elected governor in 1905 and
reelected in 1906 as Republican, AS
soon as he was first elected he wrote
letter to the president urging him
to incorporate a tariff revision section
in his annual message to congress, in
which letter he stated that had not
the Massachusetts Republican plat
form of 1905 declared for immediate
tariff revision he and all the rest of
the Republican ticket would have been
overwhelmingly defeated. President
Roosevelt paid no attention to the let
ter, SO far as any one ever discovered.
At least he made no such recOmmen-
dation to congress. From that time
to this certain Massachusetts Repub-
licans, of whom Governor Guild is the
most distinguished have been agitat-
ing for tariff revision with great earn
estness and voting the Republican
ticket with great regularity notwith-
