 HEALTH. Plain Living and Hi{^ Thinking. A contribntor W Oood ffotuetuping writes aa follows nfoc this subject :â€" Wheat bears tbe uatnefifUmcm to olfcw grains that the Ai|^o-S«if« li^antB other races. It is the BKist matnni, V^96k, tiS satisfactory of all foods. Th» ripMt thought, the moat odnsoiaiiwtewisikai, tlie most solid productions of ^e Ivalii, mnst have healthy nutrition as their basis. Thought is made out of somethisff, and a portion of that something is food. How food is converted into nerve force, and that refined still further into intangible mental action, ceaselessly and beautifully, day and night, through the long years of our mortal existence, none can tell. It would take a higher order of beings to see and understand the delicate mechanism by means of which the warp and woof of mind or soul arc woven. We look with awe upon the result but the most ignorant among us can see just as much as the most learned. Nature is a cun- ning chemist, and her secret laboratory is impenetrable. Issuing from it are produc- tions of ravishing beauty or repulsive de- formity. The quality depends both, on the materials given her to use, and the condi- tions which surround her workmanship, and finally upon something subtle and mys- terious wmch works through law, and under- lies it all. There is no doubt that the quality of our affections as well as our thoughts, is greatly influenced by our dietary. The man who ^E^ts pork, thinks pork if he eats bread 'he thinks bread. And too much luxury with- out self-restraint fosters the growth of use- less habits, just as a hot-bed fosters rank weeds that require extermination to let good growths come to maturity. It is the use we make of things that brings real riches or poverty. Firm health is the result of many agen- cies, and of these, it is true, a good dietary is only one. Consumption, that scourse in many parts of our land, is developed and made fatal by the lack of it. A consumptive is often brilliant in mind and beautiful in character, â€" the brilliance and beauty of a being burning rapidly to extinction. Let us have more stupidity,â€" with health, hap- piness, and long life. Let us live nearer to iiature, while yet preserving our aspirations, refinements and enjoyments. The song of a bird, the murmur of a brook, the fragrance and hue of a flower, the floating clouds across the blue either, and â€" "Dewj- mom and odorous noon and even. With sunset and its georgous ministaies, And solemn midnijfht'a tinseling silentness," all will waken in us " thoughts that often lie too deep for tears." Plain living should include true elegance and culture and a wide intelligence. The " shoddy" are never simple. They over- load food, furniture, and personal adorn- ment, as if the ends of life were accumula- tion and show. â-  Pretention is always vul- gar, and vulgarity is generally ostentatious. The "nouveau riche" are often detrimental to the nation. A writer has wisely said "Greece was never more adorned/ with arts, fuller of schools, more resonant of music, richer in gonius, more showy' in reli- gious sacrifices, than when she was struck with hopeless deatli. It was the decay of virtue, the triumph of selfish over public good, the absence of self- denial, the enerva- tion of luxury, the pride of vain philo- sophy, the hypocrisy of religion, that killed her." And the use of history is to correct our own mistakes in the light of past expei'i- euce. The good housekeeper shows her wisdom by the well-being of the inmates of her home, physically first, then mentally and morally. She knows that home cannot be kepe worthy and liappy without effort. She studies the temperament of each mem- ber of the family, and furnishes him or her with the food needed. The sanguine and full blooded require one kind the nervous and wh-y another. Good taste rules the serving of the viands, but the viands are first selected to build up muscle and nourish braia, not to pamper and enervate. Other- wise, energy, capacity, and integrity are Aveakened, and the power to do good work is gone. It is related by a gentlemrn who had an invitation to breakfast with the late A. T. Stewart, that the butler placed before them both an elaborate bill of fare. The visitor selected a list of rare dishes, and was quite abashed when Mr. Stewart said, " Bring my usual breakfast,â€" oatmeal and eggs." He then explained to his friend that he found simple food a necessity to him other- wise he could uot think clearly. That un- obscured brain applied to nobler ends would have wen higher results, but the principle remains the same. temof ma^iiig, is anotfawr of Aom bad and dangerous uuges to which we ezpoae col- Iqge life.

Toollean Tor Bu Own Good Mr. M. was a New- York merchant of much enterprise and large experience. He had one weakness, of whu:h it was out of the question to break him. With him good quality was always secondary to low price. If he could buy anything cheap, he didn't mind if it wasn't so good. "The finn of which he was the head had, among other ventures, a vc idle factory, a risky kind of property, be. .use it cmtained so many combustibie materials. Mr. M. took out policies of in- surance, but, his first consideration being to pay the leaat possible premium, he dealt with rather shaky companies. His juiuor partner, feeling uneasy about the matter, quietly insured the concern one day for $20- 000 in first-class companies, paymg 5 per cent, premium, taking particular care not to let the senior know anything about ic One morning the discovery was made that the factory was completely destroyed by fire. Mr. M., as soon as he reached the office, called for the policies. When his eye light- ed on those that had been obtained without his knowledge he exclaimed " Who p aid 5 per cent, premium on these policies " " I did," said his associate. "What was the use of that I never paid but 3^ per cent, for any that I took " And notwithstanding the house was $19,000 ahead on the opera- tion, the venerable gentleman refused to be comforted, because his partner had paid out $300 more than he thought there was any need of. STATISTICS. There are probably now something like 12,000,000 sheep in Cape Colony, besides over 3,000,000 goats. The -number of parcels carried during the first year of the existence of the Parcels Post was 15,000,000, Last year 'no fewer than 30,000,000 were safely delivered, being an increase of 100 per cent, in 3 years. The total trade of the Straits Settlements amounts to about £40,000,000 sterling, one- half representing exports. The trade of the colony is almost equal to that of Canada, and of New South Wales and of Victoria, and nearly three times that of New Zea- land. According to Mulhali, the stock of gold coined and uncoined in the world in 1850 was £630,000,000 sterling, and in 1885 £1,- 504,000,000, an increase of £874,000,000; but the amount of imports and exports in- creased from £771,000,000 in 1850 to £2,- 953,000,000 in 1884, so that the ' world was able to do £2,182,000,000 more trade with only £874,000,000 more money. The areas of India and of China proper are nearly the same â€" -about 1,500,000 square miles. On Indian estimates, China proper should contain some 282,000,000 souls, which- shows no great discrepancy with the latest official Chinese returns while the great central Chinese plateau, with its 3,- 000,000 square mUes of mountains, wilder- ness, and waterless desert, is roughly as- sumed to have a population of 15,000,000. in in A Great Man. " Does your wife ever pay you any com- pliments " asked Fredarick jimson of his friend Benderly, " Never," replied Benderly, " Well, mine does. She flatters me," "Often?" "Oh, yes, frequently; particularly Winter," replied Frederick, "Why does she taffy you so much Winter?" " Whenever the coal fire needs replenish- ing she points to the fireplace and says, ' Frederick, the grate.'

Of course, it is re»ooabto-to4»o» liigk Inet were hare befiffe the ioa^^iBd tha* the forest probably once connected with the f(M«sts of the great flat lands. Here was undoubted evidence that this small forest was being obliterated rapidlj by the advaocinff front of the Gnyot Glacier, the foot ice grinding the huge trees into pulp and sphnters as surely as a «inartE crusher grinds the rock into powder. Trees five and six feet through were bent over and splintered as U tiiey were brush, while some of the fallen trunks were split hmgitudinally into perfect kindling-wood. It was the mills of the gods grinding slow- ly, etc. Nor were they grinding so Tery riowly, either, as one could see by compar- ing them with other glacial action near by. But a liitle way off, probably a half-mile to a mile away, was a small clump of woods into which the glacier in the past had pro- truded, as shown by .the fallen, shattered trunks that lay near the ed^ of a small moraine from which the glacier had now retreated a great number of rods. Out from the bristling line of shattered tree-trunks piled over each other for nearly or fully a hundred yards all the spruce-trees were dead, but still standing, their whitened trunks and long, gaunt limbs contrasted strangely and conspicuously with the trees still covered with foliage that formed their background. These dead evergreens had been actually killed by the proximii^ to the ice without its touching them, and either by its chilling influence kept up throughout the year for probably centuries^ or the constant application of the ice -water about the roots, preventing their growth for along this foot- ice there was always a marshy stream of ice-water draining off to the nearest muddy creek or rilL This was true of the glacier foot not over fifty yards from our camp in the forest, for here we got our water for cooking purposes, but here also the ice of the glassier had evidently come forward so fast that the trees were rather killed by di- rect crushing of their trunks and limbs than by the slower onte of the influence of great masses of ice near by, and it was possible to sit down on this foot-ice of the Guyot Glacier, probably ten to twenty feet thick at that xoint, and at the same time be under the shade of a huge evergreen-tree, if a per- son desired two such cooling influences at the same time. Thus I came to the conclusion that the front of this great glacier was like the fin- gers of some huge radiating animal prolong- mg themselves outward and retracting again at long intervals that would require many human lives one after the other to measure a single stride and its backward flow. Fashions in Medicines. A druggist has discovered that patent medicines have their fashions like hats and walking sticks. There was a time when plasters were all tue rage, but after sticking to them for some years public taste changed, and then kidney and liver medicines came into vogue. People who never knew they had kidneys began to take stuff that they heard was good for them, and men like Helm- bold got rich. Bitters were in style univer- sally at one time, A man whose sideboard wasn't provided with half a dozen different varieties of bitters was considered old-fash- ioned and destitute of chic. He was destitute of stomacn, too, if he kept the bitters racket going too long. Then there was the craze for pads. There were lung pads, and liver pads, and kidney pads, and foot pads. Writing pads came in about this time, too. No man with any style about him at all fail- ed to go to his druggist and be measured for a pad. With a full line of pads properly adjusted undershirts were superfluous. Cough remedies are having their innings now, there being something like 300 in the market al- ready, with any number of dpctors and pro- fessors sitting up nights concocting more. â-  s tilt. Achieved Greatness and Eept It. "Yes, sir," remarked a p-ominent politi- cian. " I have held office for twenty -three years. " " Twenty-three years " was the astonish-, ed reply, "That's a long time to stay great," Hard Study Uot Unhealthful. The exercise of the brain, under the pro- per conditions, is no more unhealthful than the exercise of the arm, or of any other part of the body. It was made for use. Its functions are a essential to life and health as those of the stomach or lungs, and its full and powerful development is essential to the highest hexlth and perfection of the bodily powers. Like all other parts of the body, the brain is subject to waste, and de- ma ads nourishment, more, in proportion to its size, than any other organ of the body. The fresh air, general exercise, and proper alternations of repose required for the health of all other parts of the physical system, are also reqvusite for a healthy brain and these being withheld wUl kill a student as quick as it will another man, but no quick- er. That many students lose health is ow- ing not to hard study, but to close confine- ment with out fresh air, and to insufficient general exercise. Intellectual efforts ought to promote health, and doubtless do when the other portions of the body are not sac- rificed for it. We are not so badly con- structed that, in order to be; iskt, we must consent to be fools nor is a dyspeptic stom- ach the necessary companion to a wise head.

Some of the officers employed in taking the census of the Maori population of New Zealand reported that wnere marriages be- tween persons belonging to distinct tribes tske place the wogeny are both numerous and healthy. Where memben of the same, tribe intermarry the reverse is almost always tiie case. During a severe thunderstorm at Wells* viUe, iio., last August, a vivid flash of lightning photographed on the smooth white ceiling of the Methodist Church the face of an old man with long flowing hair and beard. It is described as a â- weird and shad- owy portrait, and the superstitious say that it is the photograph of the storm king. In Oregon the canning and ci^tcliin|; of salmon employ 2,000 white men in various capacities. It employs 2,500 Chinese. It employs fifteen tugs and steamboats, and makes business for half a dozen more em- ployed regularly in the traffic of the river. It employs, Msides, hundreds of boat- makers, sailmakers and net weavers. The sole survivor of the American slave auctioneers, Mr. John Campbell, has giv- en to the world his confessions, which are said to be exceedingly interesting- He be- came a slave auctioneer in 1835, and carried on the business for nearly twenty -six years, during which period he sold no fewer than 15,000 human beings. Whole wheat is not much known in this country as food, though it is largely used in England, Of course it is both healthful and nutritious, though to be easily digest- ed it requires long boiling. Then with butter and sugar it makes a dish fit for an epicure. It was the dish always served in England among farmers in the olden time at the conclusion of the wheat harvest. It is now claimed that celery is a sure cure for rheumatism indeed, it is asserted the disease is impossible if the vegetable be cooked and freely eaten. The fact that it is always put on the table raw, prevents its therapeutic power from being known. The celery should be cut into bits, boiled until soft, and the water drank by the patient. Serve warm with pieces of toasted bread, and the painful ailment will soon yield. A calf was killed and the hide taken off in Zionsville, Lehigh County, Pa,, in the morning. The skin was taken to Charles Burkhalter's tannery at noon. By evening of the same day Mr. Burkhalter had it all tanned and promptly handed it to a shoe- maker. By next inoming a pair of boots was completed and put on by the owner, so that what was on living flesh of a calf one day was a pair of boots the next. It was without doubt, the quickest tanning on re- cord. By order of the Duke of Cambridge the prohibition against soldiers smoking in the streets has just been removed, and the fol- lowing clause has been substituted for the last sentence of paragraph 18, Sec, 7, Queen's Regulations and Orders for the Army, 1885 " Soldiers are not to go beyond the pre- cincts of their barracks umess properly dressed, and they are not to smoke in the streets until after 5 p, m, from the 1st Oc- tober to the 31st March, or 6 p, m, from the 1st April to the 30th September." The following report of Inspector Smith on the Murray Bay prison rather enlivens the dullness of wading through a blue book â€" " The inspection was made on the loth July by Inspector Smith, There were three prisoners whorem^^ined in jail because they liked it, as they took no advantage of the many opportunities given them of escap- ing either by the main gate, which was nearly always open' or wmle the jailer was absent. The walls were dirty and the plas- ter needed repairing." The English Commissioners of Porests are planting extensively on the Crown pro- {)erty in the Isle of Man. About four mil- ions of trees have been planted on mountain land during the last three years, and the work has improved so successfully that it has been decided to extend the number of trees annually. The planting is done almost entirely by native labor, under the superin- tendence of a competent forester from Car- lisle, most of the trees having been ordered from the well-known nurseries of Knowefield in that city. Among the old papers in the county clerk's office in Freehold, N. J., is the death sentence of a negro named Csesar. It reads " Therefore the court doth judge that thou, the said Caesar, shall turn to the place from whence thou comest, and from thence to the place of execution, where thy right hand shall be cut off and buried before thine eyes. Then thou shall be hanged up by the neck until thou art dead, dead, dead then thy body shall be cut down and burned to ashes in a fire, and so the Lord h^ve mercy on thy soul, Caesar."

"Don't be frightened, Vania" (Johimy), said to his trembling brother, as the rioteri came rushing and roaring to the foot of the stair " they daren't hurt us," ••Daren't we?" roared a fierce soldier, springing up the steps, and actually touch- ing the brave lad's breast with his spear point. •' What do you say now .?" •• I say," answered the boy, with a gleam in his large black eyes which Russia's en- emies knew to their cost in after days, '• that you daren't touch either of us." For an instant the grim spearman stood hesitating, half cowed and half enraged by the boy's defiant coolness. One moment more, and a single blow would have changed the whole history of Russia, when another Guardsman caught his comrade's arm, shout- ing " Don't waste time on him, Stepka [Ste- phen], See, those fellows have broken into the palace already. Come along, and let's get oru: share of the plunder before it's all gone. " In fact, the other doors had already been forced open, and instantly the fierce Guards- men swarmed through the whole palace, tearing down the rich hangings, carrying off gold and silver ornaments, breaking the fur- niture and statues, thrusting their spears throhgh the splendid paintings on the walls, while the vaulted chambers echoed with their savage yells and hoarse bello-ning laughter,. Every moment the uproar and confusion grew more and more terrific, till the few anxious watchers on the stairs be- gan to fear that the rioters would end their plundering with the massacre of every living thing in the palace. But all of a sudden the maddening din melted into a dead silence, while figures loaded with booty were seen retreating hurriedly across the court-yard. The loyal troops quartered outside the town had taken the alarm, and were hastening to the rescue ;. and at their approach the mob of mutineers, unofficered and almost unarmed (for many of them had flung away their weapons in order to plunder more easily), thought it best to retire with their booty as quickly as possible. The palace was soon cleared of the rioters, and the General in command of the loyal' forces made his way up to the staircase, on which the two young Princes were stiU standing, ., " Do not be afraid," said he, cheenly •• it's all over now." "Afraid!" echoed the younger boy, dis- dainfully. •' It is not for a Romanotf to be afraid of a rabble of niutinons ruffians and if ever I come to be Czar I will teach these brawlers who is their master. " How that boy kept his word in after-years may now be read in any history of Russia and the traveller who visits Moscow to-day sees along the Kremlin wall a row of smaii red turrets, and is told by his Russian friends that for every one of those turrets a mutin- ous Guardsman was beheaded m fiontoi that wall by Peter the Great.
