FooLrsH.-To think the more man
eats the fatter and stronger he will be-
come. To believe the more hours chill
dren study the faster they will learn.
To conclude that il exercise is good, the
more violent it is the more good is done.
To imagine that every hour taken from
sleep is an hour gained. To act on the
presumption that the smallest room in
the house is large enough to sleep in.
To argue that whatever remedy causes
one to feel Immediately better is good
for the system, without regard to ulte-
rior effects. To eat without an appetite,
or to continue TO cat after it has been
satisfied, merely to crafty the taste. To
eat a hearty supper for the pleasure cx-
pcrienced during the brief time it is
passing down the throat, at the expense
Of q whole night of disturbed sleep, and

When the daily occupation is monoto-
nous and unengrossing, a full supply Of
excitement for the leisure hours may be
desirable, but where the mental powers
have been taxed to their utmost through
the hours of labor, it is absolutely neces-
sary to health and happiness that they
be entirely released for ut least q portion
of the time that is left. 1t is not enough
that the usual amount of time be spent
in the absolute rest of sleep, If every wG-
king hour be filled to the brim with
eager, serious occupation. It is not
enough that certain hours he secured
from absolute work, if they are still pei
meated with energetic thought. intense
feeling, or exciting pleasures. The mind
needs rest from effort in its waking
hours-a time when 1t may rightly lay
aside its activity and enjoy being acted
upon by calm and gentle influences.


The New York Grocer thus discourses
on the antiquity of cheese:


Cheese and c,irling of the milk arc
mentioned in the Book Of job. David
was sent by his father, Jessie, 10 carry
ten cheeses to the camp, and to look
how his brothers Jared. "Cheese of
kline" formed part of the supplies of Da-
vids army at Mahanaim, during the re-
bellion of Absalom. Homer says that
cheese formed part of the ample store
found by Ulysses in the cave Of Cyclops.
Polyhemus, Euripides, Theocritus, and
other early poets, mention cheese. Lu-
dolphus says that excellent cheese and
butter were made by the ancient Ethio-
plans, and Strabo states that some of the
ancient Britons were so ignorant that,
though they had an abundance of milk,
they did not understand the art of max
ing cheese. There is no evidence that
any of these ancient nations had discov-
cred the use of rennet in making cheese.
They appear merely to have allowed the
milk TO sour, and subsequently TO lave
formed the cheese from the casein of
the milk, after expelling serum or whey.
AS David, when young, was able 10 run
TO the camp with ten cheeses and an
ephah Of parched corn, the cheeses
must have been small.

a bad half-dOllar, which he repeatedly
but yainly endeavored to work off on

not so drunk that it was unnecessary TO
give him any change whatever. One
night, however, fortune smiled upon
him, and he passed the coin out to
