A room in which every piece of furniture Is arranged pr1mly ouh

II has been long maintained
In these hints, contrary TO the
common view, that variety in
diet is conducive to disease, in
efficiency, and shortens life.
Many examples have been given
of the beneficial results from a
rono-diet or an approximate
mono diet, and illustrations
have been drawn of the bene-
fetal effects of uniformity in
diet from the lower orders of
nature. Attention is now called
to an observation of Walsh. a
distinguished American natural
ist, quoted by Darwin, who says,
"Most vegetable feeding insects
live on one kind of plant or on
one group of plants; some feed
indiscriminateIy on many kinds,
but do not in consequence vary.
In several cases, however, in
sects found living on different
plants have been found by Mr..
Walsh to present in their IarvaI
or mature state, or in both
states, slight though constant
differences in color, size, or in
the nature of their secreticns."
From this II is clear that varia-
ton in feeding, even when con-
fined to one class of food, veqe-
table, tends to variation and the
disorganization of the secre-
tions. Variety in food, animal
and vegetable, is much greater
In water than on land, and fish,
varying more in food than land
animals, are extremely subject
to cancer, especially the trout,
as DR.. Bashford of the Royal
Cancer Research institution has
shown; and accordingly, the
carp, which is so restricted in
its food that bread with tow
are commonly used in fishing
for It, is largely free from can
Ger, and is known to reach the
age of 200 years. Whatever the
exciting cause Of malignant dis
ease may be, varying in differ.
ent cases, we believe 1t has
been we'll established that ex.
cessive variety in feeding Is the
chief physical factor In the
causation, indicating the import
ance of correct feeding as a
means of prevention and In the
cure.

WHEN 4 BABY DIES

detroit NeWs.)

Detroit NeWs.)
When a baby dies-when baby dies,
When the white lids dToOp DER the
wondering eyes,
When the warm red mouth with It's
wistful smile
That made us glad such a little while
1t still and cold when the blithe wee
thing
That we loved will laugh not, nor
play, nor sing;
When the clinging fingers relax their
grasp;
When kiss or prayer, or the loving
clasp
Of longing arms, in a close embrace.
Can bring no smile to the wee white
face;
When the purple shadow begins to
creep,
And wells the face for its long, long
sleep,
All, how can we know, be we ever SO
wise,
What is lost to the world when baby
dies?
When death has taken a little child
Where are the smiles that he would
have smiled?
Where are the gurgles and chuckling
The love-talk that only the babies
use?
Where are the sunbeams that used to
link
In a chain of gold through the babys
hair,
And fingered lovingly all day there?
Where are the lisping words he spoke
In a soft little voice that paused and
broke
Over the words-oh, so hard to say
In any way but just the babies way?
Where is the gaze so wide and wise
That used to be on those baby eyes
Where's the JOY that throbbed like a
living thino
In our hearts when we felt the dound
arms cling,
And held so close that tiny form,
So pulsing with life, so sweet, so
warm?
Where is the warm round place his
head
Made in the comely, soft white bed,
Now all unrumpled, and smooth and
white
Through "nap-time' by day, and
"sleep-time" at night?
Where is the touch of the moist red
lips
That he gave when he stood on his
footy-tips"
And held out his arms and begged
to Gomez"
All, but it's tragic to count the sum
Of the good that fate to our life de-
MES
When a baby dies-when baby
dies!
And where is the man that he might
have made,
Strong and sturdy, and unafraid,
If he had but lived-if the ebbing tide
Had called him motif he had not
died?

WELL said the fluffy haired blonde
after judicial pause, there are only
three causes that make a happy mar
ried woman sore on matrimony, if you
will pardon the phraseology. They are
dyspepsia, jealousy and lack of money.
Is lack of money the canker that's
eating the blush from your damask
cheek, or words to that effect?"
Mrs Allison shook her head again,
emphatically. Nobody has enough
money" she said with conviction. But
that's the least of my troubles, and
I have as much money as is good for
me, no doubt. Besides, a womans
fool to let money worry her if it's
only matter of luxuries."
The fluffy haired blonde nodded as
sent. Right you are" she said. And,
what's more, there are fewer fools
than people would believe when it
comes to that. But whatever is the
trouble, Celeste?"

solicitude. MY dear!" cried young
Mrs. Allison, with wide-eyed protest.
Fred can eat anything, I'm happy to
say. l ran completely out of ideas
about meals day before yesterday, so
l had fried soles for dinner to break
the monotony of steak and chops and
roast and chops and roast and steak,
and roast and steak"
THAT will do" sternly interrupted
the young matron with auburn hair.
That way lies madness. Some of us
are housekeepers ourselves, you may
remember"
And" went on young Mrs. Allison,
meekly Fred ate his sole with pos
tive enjoyment, though 1 couldn't
even bend my own. No, Fred is not
dyspeptic."
We'll, then" said the fluffy haired
blonde, 'he must be getting the club
habit"
Wrong" said young Mrs. Allison
promptly. Fred doesn't belong to a
single club except the Beethoven. He
hates smoke and he likes women, and
he thinks that mems clubs are little
short of relatively clean pigpens.
