 HEALTH. Besting Af^.lCeals. In connection witlui piece of .advice txpr wii^ rtmarks 1|i erx-who knffere^^om quently given the prove instructive A friend of the w dyspepsia durinz ilbnolfe hei'^«ntire Me/ considers the foilovriiag smtmmtirmit' tn lie the most in accord with her own experience of anything on the subject lately publish- ed â€" Hurried eating of meals, followed imme- diately by some employment that occupies the whole attention, and takes up all, or nearly all, the physical energies, is sure to result in dyspepsia in one form or another. Sometimes it shows itself in excessive irri- tability, â€" a sure indication that nerve force has been exhausted the double draught, in order to digest the food and carry on the business, has been more than nature could stand without being thrown out of balance^ In another case, the person is exceedingly dull as soon as he has a few moments oflei- sure. The mind seems a dead blank, and can only move in its accustomed channels, and then only when compelled. This, also, is an indication of nervous exhaustion. Others will have decided pains in the sto- mach, or a sense of weight, as if a heavy burden was inside. Others, again, will be able to eat nothing thai^will agree with them everything that is put mside the stomach is made the subject of violent protest on the part of the organ, and that person suffers untold agonies in consequence. Others suffer from constant hunger. They may eat all can, and still feel hungry. If they feel satisfied for a little time, the least unusual exertion brings on the hungry feeling, and they can do no more until something is eat- eii, It is almost needless to say that this condition is not hunger.but inflammation of the stomach. Scarcely any two persons are af- fected exactly in the same way, the disorder- ed condition manifesting itself according to .temperament and occupation, employments Jlhat call for mental work, and those whose scene of action lies indoors, affecting persons more seriously than those carried on in the ..open air, and those which are merely mechan- ical, and do not engage the mind. AH, or nearly all, of these difficulties of digestion might never have been known by the sufferers had they thrown off the cares of their business, and rested a short time after eating, instead of rushing off to work immediately after hastily swallowing their /OOfl. Mature does not do two things at a time and do both well, as a rule. AU know that when a force is divided, it is weakened. If the meal were eaten slowly, without preoc- cupation of the mind, and the stomach al- lowed at least half an hour's chance to get its work well undertaken before the cfervous force is turned in another direction, patients suffering from dyspepsia would be few. A plij'sician once said, " It does not so much matter what we eat, as how we eat it. " While this is only partly true, it certainly is true that the most healthful food hurried- ly eaten and immediately followed by work wliich engages the entire available physical and mental forces, is much worse than a meal of poor food eaten leisurely, and fol- low ed by an interval of rest. How Much Shall We Eat It is clear that with the wise men of old quantity rather than quality was the ruling law not what a man ate, but how much he ate was the capital thing for. him to consider. A tolerably simple diet is advised, though the wise Lessius holds that the quality of the food matters little, so that the man be healthy but whatever it be, let there be moderation measure is the one thing need- ful. The difficulty of finding this measure is confessed " Lust knows not," says St. Augustine, ' ' where necessity ends. " By the time he liad reached his thirty-sixth year Cornaro had accustomed himself to a dailj' measure of twelve ounces of food and fourteen of drink â€" which does not, I own convey an exact notion to me, though I take it we Gargantuans should find the measure small. He does not seem to have been par- ticular what he ate. He found it no labor to write immediately after meals. On the contrary his spirits were then so brisk thathad he tosing a song to get rid of his su- perfluous energies before sitting down to his desk. Lessius is loath to commit himself to anj' certain scale "If thou dost usually take so much food at meals as thou art there- by iriade unfit for the duties and offices be- longing to the mind, it is then evident that thou dost exceed the measure which thou oughtest to hold." He tells, on ancient autliority, some marvelous tales of the little men iiave found enough to keep })o,ly and soul together how one throve through a long life on milk alone, how another lived for twenty years on cheese. Ill monasteries and in the universities this desired measure is, he says, more easily to be found, for there either the statutes of the societies, or the " discreet orders of the superiors " have ordained the quantities of wine and beer that are fit to be drunk. Of monasteries I have no experience, but in the iniiVersities I have been given to understand that it is (or was, for the old order changes now so fast that it is hard to say what a day may not bring forth) the custom to leave such matters mainly to the discreetness of the students â€" which, it may be, is like Ooethe's poetry, not always inevitable enough. On the whole, Lessius seems to incline to Cornara's allowance as sufficient, and perhaps as good an average as it is pos- sible to strike. But he insists, as do all these antique sages, that the measure must vary with the age, condition, and business of the man. No hard and fast rule can be there. â€" Popidat Science Jfonthly. Snails. Snails are largely eaten on the Continent. In the markets of Spain may be coonted as many as fifteen different species offered for sale while snail-gardens are common all over Europe. There is, f«r example, tme at Ulm, near Wnrtemburg, whicdi sends oat no fewer than ten millions of the largest kind â€" the ffelix pomatia â€" to be fattened in other gardens before being sent to the vanona convents in Austria for consamptim duing Lent. At Dijon a snail farmer dean about three hundred ponnds per annum. iMrffe quantities ef tiie oranmon snail are aidd m Covent-Garden Market to the foieign oolcm- ies in London.

The area of the town of Smith's Falls has been increased by the additions of pwrtions of the to^raships of Montague, North Elms- ley, South Elmsley, and Wolford. A five-pound cucumber and a. nine-pouud beet have been forwarded to the office of The Missisquoi Record, and the editor has expressed the proper degree of surpiise. ' Farmers in the vicinity of the River De- sert, the Peche, and North Wakefield, in the Gatineau district, are much troubled by bears, which infest the entire district. One farmer in North Wakefield has lost thirty sheep by their depredations this season. Mr. Henry Durable, of Kingston, aged 68, was for years perfectly bald, but last spring his hair again appeared, and now he has a fine growth of it, and very black. His whiskers are also turning black although be. fore he was fifty years of age they were grey. A young man, aged 21 years, named A. Hay was feeding' the grain into a thresh- ing machine at Mildmay, and in holding on to a sheaf to prevent it from going in too fast, his feet slipped from imder him. He fell in, was torn to pieces, and instantly kUled. A dispatch from Victoria, B. C, reports a valuable gold find close to the boundary between British Columbia and Alaska, and says that already the quantity taken out had realized §24,000. The question 6f juris- diction is likely to be raised, as the boundary betM-een Alaska and the British territory has never been defined. A dispatch from Indian Head, N. W. T., says the Indians are becoming bolder each day. A man named Guardapie, while guarding property for the Medicine Hat Range Company about twenty miles away, was held up by eight Blood Indians and relieved of his rifle, revolver, and every- thing else of any value. Horse stealing began about the time the police outposts were ordered in. Recently Alfred Sutton and Daniel Mahoney were hunting deer in the woods at Cowichin, B. C. Neither party knew the other was out, and Mahony, seeing Sutton moving in the bush, and thinking he was a deer, raised his gun and fired. The ball passed through Sutton's heart, killing him instantly. The deceased was a native of Bruce, Ont. aud a nephew of Sheriff Sutton, of that county. A few days ago a young man named John Pratt was mobbed near StittsvUle by a gang of boys, who, after otherwise ill-treating him, shaved off one side of his moustache and the hair off one side of his head. The victim was also badly beaten, and has since been under medical treatment. The young man's father offers a reward for the ap- prehension of the guilty parties. A young man named Martin Dolan, while carrying away grain from a thi-eshing mill m operation on the farm of Mr. Chas. Butler, Fitzroy, inadvertently stepped backward against the driving shaft, and a loose woollen garment which the young man was wearing to preserve his clothes, caught in the shaft, and he was whirled violently against the ground and instantly killed. During the recent great Central Fair in Hamilton a car was waiting on a switch on King-street for the up car to pass when a heavy old man strode over and asked the driver :-;-"Isthis â€" the car â€" for the â€" Tor- onto â€" train " The driver said that it would take him there with a transfer. " How long do j-ou wait " asked the old man, "I shall want to go in about an hour." Mr. Her\-ey Smith, of the first concession of Malahide and brotherof Havelock Smith, w:ho is charged with the murder of Marshall Piggot, has taken proceedings against Mr. Asa Marr, a wi althy farmer of the same neighborhood, for $5,000 damages for al- leged slander. It is charged that the ac- cused has frequently expressed his belief that Mr. Smith was implicated in the crime for which his brother has been twice tried. Mr. John McCauley, of Chatsworth, lost a bull a couple of weeks ago, and after a six days' search found the poor brute fast in the bush in the rear of his farm. The animal's head and foot were fastened together with a chain, and the chain had caught on a snag, and in its efforts to get loose the bull had wound the chain around the snag, until his head was down to the ground. The animal when found was a mere skeleton, having been six days without food or water. At Campobello, N. B. there is a child named Glendower Evans Brown, who has nine grand parents and great-grand parents living within a mile of each other* The child is a grandson of Bartholomew Brown and wife, and great-grand child to Col. James Brown and wife on his father's side, aud on the mother's side a grandchild of John Mitchell and wife, and great-grand- child of TJohn Mitchell's mother, Mrs. Peters, who is a daughter of Thomas Ma- thews and wife, who are also great^grand parents to the child. Recently a young woman arrived at Vic- toria, B. C., on her way from Seattle to Na- naimo. Her trunk was landed at the wharf from which the Nanaimo boat starts, but not being aware of this fact she engaged an expressman to take her box to the wharf from which the steamer for Nanaimo would start. The unprincipled luggage handler exacted pay in advance, drove around the block with the trunk, and deliberately brought it back to the place whence he started.

On motion of Sir Isaac Walpole the meet- ing then opened on the thirty -third degree and proceeded to the election of local officers. There has been a great deal of wire-pulling during the summer in regard to these offices, and it was felt that the election would prove an exciting contest. An informal ballot for Secretary br6ught out thirteen candidates, five of whom could neither read nor write. /When this fact came to be whispered about, Brother Gardner arose and said " I want to say to you five gemlen dat dis am not a poUytical 'leckshun. If itwas you'd be all right. A man kin leave de fool asylum to-day an' rim fur alderman in any city in de land to-morrer, but we do bizness on a different basis in dis club. De five of you purceed to absquatulate or you'll h'ar sun- thin' drap " A formal ballot was then taken, and Way' down Bebee was re-elected by a majority of 28. He returned his thanks in a few well selected words, in which he rung in Nero, Plato, the great Sahara Desert and the Mormon question. An informal ballot for Treasurer brought out twenty-eight candi- dates, and the feeling promised to be so high that the President again rose and said " My frens, I doan' want to keep inter- ruptin' de purceedin's, but I mus' remind you agin dat dis club doan' hold its 'leck- shuns on a polytical basis. In poUyticks it am not eben considered cheeky fur an em- bezzler to lay his wires to become a public treasurer, but de case am different heah. Dar's a heap of you who doan' know 'nuff to add five to seben, or to subtract two from six, an' dar' am some others who could't get a bond of $50 signed to save deir necks. Dar' mus' be moreabsquatulashun." His brief speech produced a wonderful effect. A formal ballot brourfit out only three candidates, and of those Trustee Pull- back received a majority of the votes and was declared elected. He expressed his thanks in broken remarks, which were about equally divided between the glacial period and the latest improvements in com- shellers, and sat down amidst the heartiest applause. Bi-other Gardner said that other commit- tees of less importance might be named later on. Such persons as had been named were expected to enter into committee work with energy and enthusiasm, and seek to make a success of whatever they might be asked to do. It was announced that the Library would open at 7 and close at 10 o'clock through the fall and winter months, and frequenters of the place were cautioned about indulging in either political or re- ligious debates in the room.
