That recipe Of the tallest Scotsman
In London-twO meals a day and live

the Englishman Of the eighteenth cen
tury nor yet to the man who lived
abroad Here, for instance, are a few
triffes which Lady Mary Montagu man
aged to exist on In Italy:
awake about 7 and drink half n pint
Of warm asses milk" she wrote, ''after
which sleep two hours Then come
three large cups OF milk coffee and two

whole body OF large fat capon and a
veal sweetbread, concluding with a
competent quantity of custard and
some roasted chestnuts."
Even then the day was not done.
Lady Mary goes on: "At 3 in the after
noon / take another dose of asses milk
and for supper twelve chestnuts, one
new laid egg and a handsome poFrin-
ger OF white milk" In these degener-
ate days It would be thought that the
patient had done very well.

not so easily satisfied. The parish doc

BARNUM AND JENNY LIND.
How the Great showman Secured the
Swedish Nightingale"


Swedish Nightingale"
The site Of Iranistan, with its Moor
ish towers and minarets, was engraved
upon the ietterheads Of p. T. Barnum
and was the one thing which attracted
Jenny Lind when he wrote seeking to
engage her for an American tour. In
fact, she confessed that 1t was this pic
ture that determined her coming to
America.
Jenny Lind contracted to come to
America In 1S49, the Swedish Night
ingale' agreeing to sing at $50 concerts
for $4,000, all travelling expenses paid.
After she arrived in America Jenny
Lind asked Mr.. Barnum when and
where he had heard her sing, and upon
receiving the answer that he had never
had the pleasure Of seeing her before
In his life, she asked, "How did you
risk so much money on a person whom
you never heard sing9
II risked It," gallantly answered Mr..
Barnum, "on your angelic character
and reputation, feeling that you would
please the American public"
Then began campaign Of advertis-
ing to prepare the people for the ap-
pearance of Jenny Lind. Two hundred
dollars was offered as a prize for an
ode entitled "a Greeting to America"
to be sung by Jenny Lind, and the
award was won by Bayord Taylor. No
singer who has ever appeared in the
country has secured more enthusiastic
welcome than Jenny Lind, all because
Of the genius Of p. T. Barnum.--Joe

zine.

rake rlsnsy OF rlme TO Eat

There is a saying that "rapid eating
Is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit Of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from indi-
geston or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness un-
less corrected. Digestion begins In
the mouth. Food should be thorough
ly masticated and insalivated. Then
when you have fullness Of the
stomach or feel dull and stupid after
eating, take one of Chamberlaln's
Tablets. Many severe cases Of stom-
ach trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use Of these tablets.
They are easy to take and most agree
able IN effect. Sold by all dealers
