Banting, "Undertaker 20 the queen
and royal family" recently died at the
age Of eighty-fve. He invented q sys-
tenn of diet which became as famous in
our age as that of the Cornaro was three
centuries ago. In a curious pamphlet
which he wrote, and which had cosmo-
politan circulation some ten years ago,
Mr.. Banting related his sufferiugs from
his enormous Obesity in terms as NOV
ing as those of "Falstaff." For years
he had not tied his shoes, and he was
obliged to walk down stairs backwards,
lest the protuberant weight of his trunk
should pitch him down head foremost.
He adopted a regimen by which he
gradually shrunk himself within such
bounds that he became quite q nimble
pedestrian. The fact that he lived
through this process to die at the age of
eighty-fve, may be taken to show that
abstinence from farinaceous and saccha-
rine food worked as well in his case as
living on an egg a day did in the case of
Cornaro. But others who have adopted
his system have Jared worse. Still his
work has borne good fruit, if only in
making people think about what they
eat and drink in its relations to their
vitality as well as to their appetites; and
the man cannot be said to have lived in
vain who enriched his native language
with new verb, "to bant."

Speaking of the recent failure of Ben
iamin Wood, publisher of the New York
EUening NetUS, the New York corres-
pondent of the Detroit Free Press gives
this reminiscence:


1t is well known that he once kept up
intimate relations with the "tiger" and
had strong penchant for "bucking
that animal in his lair, and since his
failure sat cid gossip going again, some
of his quondam chums have been re-
hearsing the famous bout he once had
with John Morrissey, in the latter's club
house in Twenty-fourth street.


Ben was in the habit of dropping into
Morrissey's place occasionally, and one
night about ten years ago he sauntered
in as usual, and fell afoul of the bank.
Morrissey was there, and many men
about town, all of whom knew Woods
pluck and hang g-on-ativeness, and the
party set down for some lively work.
Wood had about $4,000 in his pocket,
and as the betting was heavy he man
aged to get to the bottom in about an
hour. In fact, he was cleaned out.
But his blood was up that night, and as
his reputation for pluck was at stake
am ng the boys, he decided that once
for all it should be "make or break"
His ready cash was all gone, but he
owned valuable property on Tryon Row,
where the &aats Zsitung building now
stands, and he proposed to hypothecate
the same to Morrissey against whatever
sum, up to its value, he should lose.
The offer was accepted, and the great
fight began. 1t lasted all night and up
to nine o'clock next morning, and, when
truce was finally called, Ben had won
back the So. 900 he started with, and Sc
cured about $4,000 ahead besides.
With the money that Morrissey had ad-
vanced to him on the hypothecated pro-
perty, he turned round and gave John
the worst whaling he ever received at
the card table. Not sign of wincing
was shown on either side till physical
exhaustion forced cessation of hostili-
ties. Both men were true grit to the
last and neither showed the least i'll
temper from beginning to end. It was
on that occasion that Ben performed the
extraordinary feat of smoking ninety
dollars worth of cigars in one night.
Morrissey had q special brand OF cigars
at one dollar each for his flush patrons,
and Wood, who is tremendous smoker
Tor chewer, rather, for he merely chews
furiously at cigar and then filings it
away, managed to spoil ninety of them
while the fight lasted.

Common sense is natures gift, but
reason is an art.


The man who assumes to know every
thing generally knows very little about
anything.


To be comfortable and contented,
spend less than you can earn, an art
which few have learned.


Knowledge, when the possession of
only Jew, has always been turned into
iniquitous purposes.


1t is easy to pick holes in other peo-
ple's work, but it is far more profitable
to do better work yourself.


When we are young we waste a great
deal of time in imagining what we will
DO when we grow older; and when we
are old we waste an equal amount of
time in wondering why we waited so
long before we began to do anything.


Honor your engagements. If you
promise to meet man, or do certain
thing at certain moment, be ready at
the appointed time. If you go out on
business, attend promptly to the matter
in hand, and then as promptly go about
your own business. Do not stop to tell
stories in business hours. If you have
place of business, be found there when
wanted.


Contempt naturally implies mans
esteeming himself greater than the per-
son whom he contemns. He, therefore,
that sights, that contemns an affront,
is properly superior to it; and he con-
quers an injury who conquers his resent
ment OF it. Socrates, being kicked by
an ass, did not think it revenge proper
for Socrates TO kick the ass again.

A Minneapolis (Minn.) paper gives
the thrilling experience of survivor Of
the recent terrific explosion in the
Washburn -four mills, which was attend
ed with such heavy loss of life and
property. The survivor referred to is
Joseph Monti, Jr., the watchman of the
Galaxy Mill, who was discovered by the
reporter in all the plenitude of full
health. He said he was in the basement
of the mill, one story below the canal,
engaged in putting in an alarm bell
upon the shafting. The concussion
lifted him fully six feet, when he fell
and was stunned for five minutes. He
was in a dazed condition when he re-
covered from the shock, and only heard
one explosion. If there we're other ex-
plosions they must have occurred while
he was stunned. When he realized his
position, he found the water pouring in,
and naturally thought the thud of the
explosion was merely the result OF the
breaking in of the canal. He rushed to
window upstairs and looked for a
place to jump. When there he saw
John G. Rosienius, of the Zenith Mill,
looking out of the window. Monti
called out to him, care you going to
Jump" but Rosienius either didn't un-
derstand or did not hear, and that was
the last of him seen alive. Monti took
in the situation, saw the elevator IN one
tremendous sheet of flame, and was
momentarily paralyzed. Looking below
the window, Monti observed an ash
heap, fifteen feet or so below him. lie
straddled the sill, swung himself over,
hung by his hands a second or two on
the sill as the roar of the flames doomed
hissingly around him, and then dropped
and rolled thence into the seething
waters. Once in tho water he swan out
despairingly and exhausted, until he
struck a protruding rock, upon which
he climbed and rested to recover his
presence of mind and courage. His
senses being gathered, he waded to the
paper mill. Reaching the under portion
of it, he rose before some of the em-
ployes putting out blaze. AS u voice
from the dead, he asked, Which way
can get out ?" He was then directed
