EXPERT ADVICE ON EATING.
Authorities fell Us What Foods We
Should Consume and Avoid.

Cicero told us long ago that we
should eat to live. not live to eat, and
Prof. Gautier. Of Paris, amplifies that

a very interesting article ON How We
Ought to Eat" The professor 10 the
sworn enemy OF all culinary artinces

taste. excite the appetite and induce .
man to eat without hunger and drink
without thirst.
These, he says, are prejudicial to
the maintenance OF health. When one
has an appetite for plain bread. veg
etables or meat unmodined by any SEQ
eoning then and then only can one be
said to be really hungry. Another
paternal recommendation which the
professor makes 10 the old advice Of
our grandn others, that we should al.
ways leave the table with slight SEN
sation Of hunger not entirely appeased.
Il appears that we lose every day
from IS to 100 grams Of albuminoids,
corresponding to 420 or $50 grams Of
muscular flesh or analogous tissue.
An inhabitant Of Paris. for instance.
recuperatcs on the average to the Ok.
tent Of 100 OF 100 grams q day.
As q guide to what we should eat
the professor tells us that tho best

comes poultry and pork fed on irod-
ucts Of q vegetable origin. whether

One should always avoid the flesh

vegetable ailments.
Prof. Gautier deprecates all exag.

dishes as have always been regarded
as innocuous and remember that, as q
rule, 1t is neither meats nor bouillon
nor wine nor spices. nor coffee which
poison us. but their abuse.

when returning to the White House
after dark he was frequently accom-.

this latter precaution as unnecessary,
but Secretary Stanton's orders to the
guard were imperative.

HIGH JUMPING SHARKS.
Doubts Of Sailor Who Says he Knows

You published In your paper on Sat.

they threw some meat overheard to
get the sharks closer to the ship. At
the moment that the shark made Q
grab for the meat the captain fred

jump 30 feet out Of the water.
We that have been 1t seq all know
that there 10 one kind Of shark which
has to lay on its side before II can
grab anything between It's Jaws, and
another kind which has to lay on it,

their mouths compels them TO take
these attitudes. Az q consequence,
the shark In question was either lying
on his back or on his side.

Jump he straightens his back again
and hits the water with. the tail end Of
his body. This force produces the
power which enables him to Jump Q

As above stated. the shark. when
fired at, was grabbing for the meat,
and lying either on his side or back.
