Rules For Rioht Eatino.

The rules for eating, which ought ia
be a 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 we'll: dom,
drink much with meals-do It before
don't eat all one kind Of food: don't
take much cold food at one time.
Most Of us live as If 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
or them. But when it rebels there il
usually one more cross dyspeptic in.
ficted on society and destined to spend
the rest Of his days alternating be-
tween diet Of soft eggs and toast and
sundry excursions into mince pies, pork
and cabbage and other things that he
likes, but which make him miserable

He Hunu on to the Record,

A fish story l heard while camping
involves an old man who had little re-
gard for the truth. Two young men
made it up to go to the old gentleman s
house and outgeneral him by telling
the biggest lie to the old man, who
held the record. After being at tho
old mans house some time one of then,
asked the old gentleman If he had
heard about the big fire. He said ho
had not and asked them where it was.
The young man told him a gasoline
launch hld exploded on the river and
the whole river was OH fire. The old
man sat quiet for moment, then turD-
ed to his wife and said, Mother, l told
you something terrible had happened
up the river today when l caught that
catfish with his fins all burned off,

A Cabby Stuna.

Foreigners often fall a 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 a 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 we'll as he could his moth
er tongue. On arriving at his destina-
ton he asked, still in struggling fash
ion:
COW mOoch ave I to payY"
give shlllings," promptly responded
the cabby.
And 'ow mOoch Is shillingsr p
Queried the traveller, taking out three
