EFFECTS OF MEAT.EATING.

The Indians Of the plains. who lived
ALMOST entirely an flesh. were tierce
apd warlike enough; the Eskimos, who
also live entirely on flesh, are among
the mildest and most peaceable of men.
The unfortunate Armenians, per con-
ira, are periodically massacred by a
race of blood thirsty yegetarians, The
Hindps Of Bengal are the traditional
horrible example of the effects of living
on rice. But the Chinese and Japanese,
who also live on rice-in sufficient quan-
tlty-are about the toughest and most
enduring of mankind. During the race
of the allied armies to Pekin the Japa-
nese army, on a diet of rice and dried
fish, outmarched the Europeans by so
per cent. Even in India, the sikhs and
Rajputs, who eat but twice q day, and
rarely touch meat, are among the iinest
men physically and the best soldiers on
earth. In the old days, before the tel
egraph. the messenger service from
Madras to Bombay and Calcutta. was
made up of runners who did sixty miles
for days work. and kept it up 1000
and ], 400 miles on end-on a diet of
boiled rice.

KILLS THE FLIES.
Richmond News Leaddr.l
ditor The News. Leader;

FhflOA iHc SCWs' f-SatSFs
Some time ago we cut prescription
from the Leader, written by DIR. Henry
Tete. of New Orleans. La, for killing
flies. This We concluded to try recently
and want to say to. you that we have
never seen anything to equal it in de-
stroying flies. and so little trouble and
comparatively no cost. Just cleans
them up in any quantity.
5. p. Johnson.
For the benefit of those who may not
have seen, or if they saw, may have
forgotten the receipt that is so much
commended, we republish it as follows:
Mix a little bichromate of potash
with some sugar and water and let the
flies drink it. Or, mix weak solution
of formalin with water; or, best of all,
shut the doors and windows and drop
twenty drops of carbolic acid on a red
hot shovel, and the fumes of this will
kill the flies at once.
If the newspapers and the public
work together and make common cause
in their crusade against these pests that
destroy our comfort and endapger our
health. their days of mischievons activ-
ity will soon be over.

BLIGHT OF lDLENEss.

There is no blight like the blight of
idleness. 1t is in the unworked garden
that weeds grow. 1t is in the stagnant
water that disease germs waken to hor-
rid life. 1t is in the calm that mariners
lose heart, and from the spent battle
fields pestiience more dreaded foe than
the red carnage of war. Ennui pals
upon brave heart as prostrated peace
falls upon true soldier. Ennui is like
a long -winded, amiable, but watery-
ideal friend. who dropped in to see us
and dribbles platitudes until every nerve
stands put like ppFeupine quills and we
long for the advent Of an enemy. Ennui
is like being forced to eat meat without
salt or to drink tepid water. Labor on
the contrary. if it be remunerated labor
is friend with grit and endurance in
his makeup. 1t comes to Us as wind
visits the forests and sets all our facul-
ties stirring as the wind rufiies the tree.

A WORD TO THE WEARY.

The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the
learned. that should know how to speak word
in season 20 him that is weary; he wSkeneth morn

the learned. Isaiah. 4.
Only word TO the weary,
Comfort and counsel and song;
Lightly and brightly and CHEEKY,
A word that will help them along,
IL counts so much in the compass,
1t weighs so much in the scale
The tender delight of good morning, -
The CHEEKY and neighborly "haill'
Only a word to the weary.
Soothing and sunny and CHEEKY;
a word of sweet comfort TO lead tn the
light
From darkness and trouble and shadow
and night.
Only word to the weary.
A word that they all understand;
With the touch of a friend on the
shoulder,
The clasp of neighborly hand.
1t isn't much trouble to give it,
And IL counts far more when said
To the living that love it and need it
Than it does to the dying and dead.
Only word to the weary,
Kindly and tender and CHEEKY;
A word of good will that will help them
to go
On the way of the toll when their steps
have grown slow,
Only word TO the weary
All, morning by morning to ns
He wskens my ear to the beauty,
My soul to the cheer and the gleei
Aud so. little song. with an echo
OF the word that he speaks to our ear,
Let MS sing it again to the troubled,
Let us ring il afar and anear:
Only word to the weary.
Ringing and wingiRg and CHEEKY;
A word of loved hope that may help
them to rise
With the Joy of the morn in their hearts
and their eyes.
