CTS, A criticism Of William Blake that "as child he was precocious lD po- etry, but In later years it developed into dogmatlsm," is lesson iu the art of being in0rtlculate, while thc remark that "the works of the time were most ly satyrs" is quaint, though obvious or course there ls boEEling over proper names. There is nothing, Indeed, SO good as the description ot Cromwell as "a man with coarse features and having a large red nose, with deep rc. llglous convictions beneath or the case of tho lapscd man" who, having by way of exception attended church, admitted Co the rcctor's wife that he had benefited. for nc had learned that Sodom and GomorrRh were two cities whereas he had always thought they were man and wife Manchester Guardian.

FAT AND DISEASE

If the Medical Record is right, man Is pursuing In the matter of bodily weight what Is bad for him, a common trick, and woman pines for Q physical ideal that would mean long life If achieved, something rare indeed for women to do. Most men struggle to be fat. Most women diet to be lean. Dr. Brandrcth Symonds draws from a study of life insurance weights that people past the age of thirty live long CT if below normal weight than they do If at or above standard. Heart dis. ease k as rare among the underfat as 1t Is common with the heavy folk, and this Is true also of Brlght's disease apoplexy. paralysis, cerebral conges- tions and clrrhosis of the liver. Only in pneumonia and tuberculosis do the underwelghts carry a greater risk. In all the cases which he examined Dr. symonds found not a single fat man who reached the age of eighty years, while forty-four short weights passed this mark.

THE CHINESE HUE

The Chinese farmer stands second to Aonc in all the world This Is all the more remarkable since he has really so few implements with which to work the marvels he produces. His only i'm. plementS are the hoe, the blow and the harrow. Beyond these the Chinese farmer never dreams of desiring any other. The first of these tools seems never Co be out Of his hands, for it is the one upon which he relies the most and is his most effective implement It really takes the place of the spade in England. though the latter Is never put to such extensive and general uses as the hoe. The ChInaman can do any thing with lt hut make it speak. A farmer well on in years can easily be recognized amidst a number of work, ingmcu by the curve his hands have taken from holding the hoe lu the many years Of toil in his fields, With lt. if he is a poor man and has no oxen to blow the ground, he turns up the soil where he is going to plant his crops. and with 1t he deftly and with turn of his wrist levels out the sur. face so that lt Is made ready for the seed. With broad bladed hoe he dips to the bottom Of stream or of a pond, draws up the soft mud that has gath cred there and. with deIterous swing, filings the dripping hoetul on to his field nearby to increase Its richness by this new depOslt--London King
