Genius and Appetite.

Men Of genius are almost uniformly
large eaters, says DR. Hanover. They
require a tremendous amount of good,
wholesome food. for long continued
and exhaustive intellectual work de-

Scott is said TO have attributed his
tremendous capacity to his power of
digestion and the good, wholesome
restraints Of appetite in his youth.

politics and literature were men whose

Business Men and Lunch.

There was a conference in London
recently under the auspices of the In
corpOrated Institute of Hygiene to dis
cuss the health Of business men. Many
of the greatest physicians in England
spoke, especially about the diet of the
ordinary man of business. The New
York Medical Record sums up their
conclusions thus:
Most of the speakers expressed the
opinion that but little should be eaten
in the middle of the day, and some
seemed to think that two good meals
in the day were quite sufficient. A
man who does not take enough exer-
else or who does not perform enough
manual labor to enable him to digest
and assimilate a large quantity Of
food, and particularly flesh food, should
be very careful as to the quality and
quantity of food he ingests. Such a
man does not require much meat"

Nervous Troubles.

Neurasthenia, or nervous prostra-
ton. has so many forms and so many
causes that 1t Is one Of the most puz-
zling diseases physician can be call
ed upon to treat. No general rules can
be given. each case having to be han
died on its own merits. 1t calls for a
psychologist rather than a physician
Some of the many well defined forms
that neurasthenia takes have received
names of their own. Among these
are agoraphobia. which shows itself in
fright when in crowded places; mono
phobia, or dread of being alone; claus
traphobia. or fear of confined places;
anthrophobia. or horror of society;
batophobia. or dread Of things falling
from above: siderodromophobia. or
fright at travelling on railroad train.
Then there are the forms of mental
rumination In which there is a cease
less flow of ideas. The brain is so alb
normally active that 1t produces in
somnia. Arithmomania is the form In
which the sufferer counts necessarily
and cannot stop.

Fourteen In a Bed.

Hospitals are so plentiful and so

forget how we have advanced since
the bad old times" An account is
given in the London Hospital Of the
work done by the Hotel Dieu in Paris
century or two ago
The herding together of patients was
a marked feature. and. though the
beds We're big, it is startling to read
of twelve or even fourteen being placed
in one. Up to the seventeenth cen

and the brilliant idea that the con

into effect The patients mounted by

fewer than $4,000 persons died Of

A Plat. With n History.

A former resident of Albany has on
the sideboard Of his New York home
an oldtime blue china plate which has
history well known to the family.
I'm the winter of 1857" SO the story
always begins. "the Ice broke after a
sudden rain and warm spell, and the
water came upon rs so quickly that
we children were sundled out Of the
house to the home of friends who
lived further away from the river. The
table for next mornings breakfast had
been laid In the basement dining room,
and when the water went down enough
so that one could go to that room
some Of the plates and cups were found
frozen to the ceiling, for It turned aw-
fully cold after the water was in the
houses. And that's one Of the plates
that didn't break when they all fell
off," One OF the children says that
grandpa always told It that way, and
1t must be true"-New York Tribune.

lowed. in his slow and direct manner.
Il lived in that same town for two
years, and never died ouce-not a

A merchant in the West Thirties
takes pride in selling novelties, tricks
and puzzles-things that wiggle or
waggle or wuggle or woggle. He buys
instanter those clever mechanical in.
ventions, toys and devices. They are
originated daily and die perhaps as
quickly. You know the kind. When
you see them on the sidewalks you
stop and look. then dig your hand in
your pocket and say, That's pretty
clever. I'll just take one of those
home" Then you make it wiggle or
waggle or wuggle or woggle for the
family, and the next day the spring is
broken.
How to display these things and
make a department of novelties was a
poser Finally, however, he Jumped
them in one corner of his establish
ment and hung over them this descrip-
ton:
"These are things you don't know
you are obliged to have until you see
them" And standing room in that
corner is at premium.-New York

Have ysu any idea what wonderful
thing kaleidoscope really is? Did you
ever catch yourself wondering how
many different kinds of patterns could
be formed by the little bits of colored
glass which the instrument contains
and which adjust themselves with such
remarkable facility when the instru-
ment Is turned in the hand? A calcu-
lation has been made by noted math-
ematician which we are sure will as
tonisb readers. He shows that a ka-
leidoscope containing twelve bits of
glass may be turned rapidly enough
to make ten changes a minute day and
night for ninety-one years and forty
nine days without exhausting the diff
ferent combinations or the possibilities
of getting new figure on the next

be increased to twenty, calculation

war correspondents who were sent out
TO the Balkans were appallingly severe.
Mr.. Gibbs found that he was forbid
den to describe the disposition of
troops, to give the names of generals,
the names and numbers of the wound
ed, the success or failure of Bulgarian
troops. the state of the soldiers health,
the conditions of the climate and so
on. When the censor had told him all
this Mr.. Gibbs asked him politely:
Twill you tell me. sir. If there is any
thing about which we shall be allowed
to write?"
The censor thought deeply for a mo-
ment and then answered quite gravely:
There is much interest in Bulgarian
literature"

low. every rugosity of the skin, every
subsurface muscle, every vein or wrin-
kle is accentuated. The trouble with
this test when applied to statues not
by Rodin is that frequently the veins

been chiseled into the stone, and no
projected light, no matter what its in
tensity or angle Of projection, can cast
shadows not raised by the inequalities

Fate of the Peanuts.

A popular author. who writes human
interest stuff for several newspapers.
went to the department of agriculture
in Washington one day and secured a
peck Of diseased peanuts. The scien-
lists In the department were having a
hot argument as to whether or not the
peanuts. If eaten. would kill a human
being and the author took the edibes
to his office to have them photograph
ed. He saw big story in the fact that
the high browed scientific men could
not tell when peanut was fatal.
The next morning. when he entered
his office, he found that the whole peck
was gone. He instituted a search, and
finally discovered that the colored JAM
tor had stolen and eaten the peanuts.
After keeping the janitor under oh
servation for three days and seeing
that he neither peeked nor pinned, the
author abandoned his story and wrote
to the department.:
Quit arguing. The peanuts are
harmless. Popular Magazine.
