SIMPLE HEALTH RULES. r<tfiperance. No Worry, n Yonthfu’ Misul. Plenty of Sleep. A fauiot > New York pby~. iau, now hale and handsome at seventy-five, sums up his half a century of medical practice and observation in these I simple rules of health: First.—Be temperate in all things, in matters of amusement or study as well as in regard to foods and drinks. To be temperate in all things, however. does not imply that one must be i prohibitionist about anything. Second. -Don't be afraid to go to sleep, for sleep is the best restorer of wasted energies. Sleep a certain numi ber of hours every night and then remember that a shoct nap during the day is a safer reju vena tor than a cocktail. Third.—Don't worry either about tha past or the future. To waste a single hour in regret for the past Is as senseless as to send good money after that which has been irrecoverably lost. To fret oneself about what the future may have in store is about as reasonable as to attempt to brush hack tne tide of the oeean with a broom. Worry, of whatever kind, banishes contentment, and contentment is a necessity of ’ youth. Fourth.—Keep the mind youthful. Live in the present with all the other young people. Don't get to be rem’ niscent Let Che old people talk about the past, for the mere act of thinking about old things reminds the mind of its years. Reminiscences are dangerous. whether they be soothing or sweet or sad. for they characterize old age and must be sedulously avoided by those who would be ever young. Fifth.—Keep up with the times. Don't fall behind the procession. To accomplish this learn one new fact every day. The mind that is satisfied to live upon the lessons it learned in its youth soon grows old and musty. To keep young it must be fresh and active—that is. abreast with the times. The old methods of thought and the old facts may have been correct enough once upon a time, but that time has passed. Today they are obsolete and only amusing as relics of antiquity. To rema n young, therefore, one must keep the storehouse of the memory clear of ail such rubbish. Throw away one of the mildewed relics every day and replace it with some newer, fresher and more up to date fact. Here, then, is this New York physician's secret of perennial youth in a nutshell: Be temperate! Don't be afraid to go to sleep! Don't worry! Keep the mind youthful. And — keep up with the times! It is not a difficult rule of life to follow. It is ever so much easier than wandering about strange lands in search of hidden springs. It is somewhat pleasanter than stewing over IE smelling crucibles. Moreover it has the advantage of being thoroughly practicable, which makes it well worth trying.—New York World. Xeaophon as a Dog Fancier. Xenophon opens his disquisition on hounds by an enumeration of all the defects, physical and moral, which a hound should not possess, wherein it is easy to recognize all the failings whidj are still among us. Leggy hounds, weedy hounds, flat sided hounds, flat footed hounds, undersized hounds, headstrong hounds, flashy hound*, sulky hounds, dwellers, babblers, sk.rv ers—all are faithfully portrayed and uncompromisingly condemned. "Hound* with such faults as these, whether do* to nature or to bad training, are of lit tie worth. They are enough to disgust even a truly keen sportsman.” A good hound should have a light, small, sinewy head, a long, round, flexible neck, broad chest, free shoulders, straight, round, wiry fore legs, straight knees, round sides, muscular loins, full flanks, but not too full. Histhighsshould I be firm, compact and well let down, his ’ feet round and his stern long, straight 1 and tapering. Such is Xenophon’s de- I scription of a good hound. It seems to us not amiss for the fourth century , before our era.

Chicory. ‘•The reason that the root of chicory, the blue flower which covers waste places all over the northwestern states, is not a good substitute fqr coffee is that we have no alkaloid in chicory,” said a Chicago chemist “Moreover, we have no oil. Chicory contains a quantity of resinous matter and a quantity of matter closely resembling the narcotic principles obtained from the common lettuce. The milky juice contains a narcotic element. Although not eligible as a substitute for coffee, chicory can be used for adulterating coffee, and many people who get accustomed to the taste of the mixture prefer It to pure coffee. In former times the prejudice against chicory was so great that English laws were passed against adding it to coffee, but I believe there is no restriction in England or elsewhere now. The use of chicory never got enough foothold in America to make it significant in the volume of trade.”—Milwaukee Free Press. The Greateet Sinner. Probably the most remarkable singer of all time was Farinelli, the beauty of whose so'/rano voice remains unequaled. It was of large compass, three and a naif octaves, exceeding the Ordinary range by six or seven notes. His debut at seventeen at Rome In 1722 was extraordinary from his competing with a trumpet player in sustaining and swelling a note of astonishing length and power. For fifteen years he traveled extensively, and he reached Spain in 1737, intending to stay a few months, but remaining twenty-five years. Philip V. of Spain bad fallen Into a profound melancholy, and the queen found Farinelli’s vole* the only remedy.

AN INDIAN LEGEND. rhe War Nan-ab-beju Made the New Earth After the Flood. "I will tGI you the story of Nan-ab-beju. He is the man who made the new earth after the big wtiter came and covered it. “Big waters came, and there was nothing anywhere except water and the sky and the sun and the stars." said the old Chippewa. "Nan-ab-beju made a great raft and put on it some relic of everything that had been or. the earth —specimens of each kind of animals, of all the trees, shrubs, plants, flowers, birds, rocks, and one man and one woman. In short, he did not leave anything except sand. He forgot to save some sand, and yet he could not do anything without it. He sailed out far into the flood and made a little island, very, very small. Thon he found he had no sand. He made a very big line, longer than hundreds of deerskins cut up into ribbons and tied together. and he took a muskraf off the raft and tied the line to it and threw it into the water. The frightened rat dove down and down, and when there was no longer any pulling at the line Nan-ab-beju knew the rat was at the bottom of the sea. Then he began to pull the line up. At the end of it came the poor muskrat, stone dead, drowned. But Nan-ab-beju saw that the little black paws of the animal were clenchel as if there was something in their palms and that the rat held tight hold of even after death. The little paws were forced open, and in them were found half a dozen grains of sand. One grain would have been enough for the great Nan-ab-beju. “Nan-ab-beju blew his breath on the muskrat, and its life came back to it. Then he mixed the sand in the little island that he bad made and blew on that also. As he blew and blew it swelled and swelled until it was so big that Nan-ab-beju could not see the sides or end of it in any direction. Nan-ab-beju was not quite certain whether he had made it as big as the old earth before the big water came. He had to make it as big as it had been—so big, in fact, that no man or creature could find the end of it. He had plenty of animals that could travel over the earth and find out how big it was, so he decided to take two huge buffaloes off the raft and send them to see whether there was any end to what he had made. The buffaloes ran eff with all speed, and Nan-ab-beju eat down and waited. In a few days the buffaloes came back and said they bad found the end of the earth. So Nan-ab-beju blew and blew and blew on the ground again, and it swelled so fast that you could see it broadening. When he had blown until he was tired he took a crow off the raft and sent it to see if it could find the end of the earth. The crow was gone a very long time, but at last It came sailing back on the wind and said it had flown til) it was tired out and there was no sign of any end to the earth. “Nan-ab-beju, to make sure, blew again and swelled the earth a great deal bigger. Then he untied and uncaged and untrapped all the animals and drove them from the raft on to the land and left them free to roam where they might He took all the trees, plants, bushes and shrubs and planted them around, and he blew the grass out of his hands as hard as he could blow it, so that it scattered all over. Next he let loose all the birds and beetles and bugs and snakes and toads and butterflies, and finally he invited the man and woman, both Chippeways, to go ashore and make the new earth their hunting ground. And Nan-ab-beju’s task was done.”—St. Nicholas.

Titles In Germany. The question of title is one of the most delicate in Germany, a fact of which the stranger is constantly reminded in intercourse with the people, particularly with the women. Frau Professor, Frau Director, Frau Doctor, are most particular about their husband's titles being attached to their own names. But when it comes to military circles it is different, and both men and women protest vigorously against this sharing of titles. Lieutenant van B. objects to having his wife addressed as Frau Lieutenant, which title belongs as well to the wife of Lieutenant Schmidt or Haff of a less aristocratic regiment. Dumas' Scheme. Alexandre Dumas. Sr., was once visiting his son, who at that time lived in a villa near Paris. They sat in a tiny scrap of a garden behind the bouse under the one small tree it contained. It was a broiling hot day, and Dumas, who was very stout, said to his son: “I am suffocating with the intense heat.” ‘‘What shall I do, father?” ‘‘Suppose you open your chambet window and let a little air into the garden.” replied old ? lexandre, with gravity. One Exception. “No," declared Mr. Nagget. “there never was a woman on earth who could refrain from turning around to rubber at some other woman’s clothes.” “No?” replied his wife sweetly. “Didn’t you ever hear of Eve?”—Philadelphia Press. How She Took It. Adolphus Hunt—Don't you Ziink it would be a noble thing for you to do with your wealth to establish a home for the feeble minded? Miss Riche— Oh, Mr. Hunt, this is so sudden 1 "Women and Smuwklinw. Many a lady smuggles who would ao more tip her ball into the better position at croquet than she would cut a throat or scuttle a ship.—Andrew Lang. Genuine benevolence Is not stationary, but peripatetic. It goes about dolag good.—Nevins.
