Effect of Food on Character.

A scientist has recently been inves-
tigating the effect of food, particular
ly vegetables, on the human charac-
ter. He affirms that a diet of carrots
ameliorates harshness of character
and reduces nervous irritability; peas
create joyousness, while turnips have
a depressing influence. Cabbage is
good for pulmonary complaints, while
lettuce acts as a sedative upon the
human frame, owing to the opium con-
tanned in it's milky juice.

calling Mrs Wilson's prediction for
retailing gossip, "but it was rather I'M

When l invited them last summer in a

your country relatives in town, but let
me tell you they get the best of it"

Wilson.
"Of course, you DON'T" retorted Mrs.
Warburton, decisively, because you've
never been through it. When James
and | went down to the country in
June with little Bobbie these people
never had to do hands turn for u.s.
At least, they didn't seem to feel
called upon to do anything to enter
tain us and we were satisfied to be let
alone to wander around in the woods
or sit in the shade while they went
on with their work as though we
weren't on earth. The only time they
put themselves out was when they
got up a picnic, and it would have
been better if they had never thought
of it. We went trailing off to some
creek In a wagon without springs and
sat down to a cold lunch in the damp
woods, eating stuff overrun with ants
and fighting mosquitoes, and little
Bobbie fell into the creek and was
dried out behind a blackberry bush"
The ideal" said Mrs. Wilson, peer
ing anxiously up the street for the
missing trolley car.
Yes, but when they come up here
and pile in on top of us we have to
turn everything upside down to enter
tain Them" went on Mrs. Warburton,
bitterly. "Oh, yes; bless you! Like

in at the windows of the big stores.
