This city has a mysterious disappearance, in the absence of other sensational matters. A party ofTennesaeeans came here last week and rented a farm near the city. On Saturday they were In the city, and one of their number, Thomas Morris,

who had a considerable sum of money, was drinking. Late in the evening he became separated from his companions and disappeared in a remarkable manner.- Since then his former associates, . assisted by the offictrs, have searched the town and surrounding country for him in vain. It is feared he has been foully dealt with. In the past week the horse and mule market has been quite animated.

Pither created quite a sensation of approval at Wesley M. K. church last night, hy a strong approval of the president's veto of the Chinese bill, in the course of his sermon. He evidently had the sympathy of his large

No. 519 Sixth avenue ia at tbe corner of Thirteenth street. Mr. O. G. Jadd advertises watches and diamonds for sale there. "Does Mr. Burtnett have an office here 7" asked the reporter in Mr. Judd's store. "No." "Has he ever had an office in this building?" "Yes, about two months age." "Do yon know anything about him?" "Yes; he came and rented tbe third floor ball bed-room, and had a hole cut in tbe door to receive his letters. I never taw any one in the place, bat tbe man wbo rented the room gave the name of Hati, and I found out that he was receiving letters under the name of "Clarke & Co.' and 'Burnett' I complained to tbe landlord, and be left on tbe 1st of January. I don't know where be baa gone. Since be left as many as 100 persons bave come here to make invuiries about him. - Nearly all of these people were from tbe country, and every one of them bad drawn a cold watch valued at

$300, and bad sent $3 to psy tbe expenses of packing. I bave not seen him since the first of the year, but many of tbe letters shown me are dated since be left here." Finally the reporter learned that Mr. Burtnett had taken another o flics at 2VJ West Twenty-ninth street Here the "New York Jewelers' and Watch Importers' a.ssociation," composed of tbe largest dealers of watches in America, does business on the first floor of a four story tenement bouse, behind a faded black tin sign labeled in white letters "H. F. Burtnett" The door, when the reporter called, was fastened with a ten cent psdlock, and knocking loud enough to wake the dead failed to wake uo the clerks, though beads were thrust out of almoft every other door in the tenement, and 20 voices clamored, "What's wanted?" "Does Mr. Burtnett live here?' inquired tbe reporter of all the world. "No. but be has an office here, and if you

want him just drop a note through the hole in the door," replied the chorus of 20 voices.

It was learned from a neighbor that Mr. Burtnett was only to be seen about tbe time of the delivery of the registered mail every day. Choosing a good point of observation on tbe opposite side of the street, tbe reporter waited for the registered mail and Mr. Burtnett In half an hour a letter carrier came through the snow with a huge bag full of letters on his shoulder, tip the stoop he

went with the reporter after him. Tbe lock was still on the door of tbe "watch importer's" office and there were no signs of life within. For the first time in many days Mr. Burtnett was not on band to receive his mail. "I wonder where the devil be is," said the carrier, and tbe reporter echoed bis sentiments. It wss very evident that Mr. Burtnett was not going to receive bis registered mail that day. "How many letters does be

get?" asked tbe reporter. "About 150 day." "How many of these are registered?" "About 60." "Do you know anything about bis business?" "No." "Never suspected anything?" "r"o My business is to deliver the let-

Vigorous condiments were added to give their food relish. Copious draughts of liquor were enjoyed. They lived a fast life and bad a fast life's reward. My style of living is entirely different I regarded tbe hotel as my home, where I was to live for years. The spread was affluent but my living was simple. I changed my soup daily. I confined myself to one kind of meat, and changed it every day. The desert was varied enough to give me seven new courses a week. Sometimes I bad coffae, sometimes tea, sometimes milk, and then occasionally water. My aisociates were always ailing, always in

need of the doctor. The hotel physician made me a friendly call occasionally; I bare not sent for him in 25 years. I have seen many a man eat himself out of house and home. I bave followed many an associate to the grave wbo died from over-eating and a bad digestion. I am here, bale and

How to Attain It

I Kaerelso Better than all tbe Hedlelne la tbe World- What tbe Body Bo. Wires for Its Sustenance and How It Mboald bo Prepared. Brooklyn Eagle. The work dooe by the body, according to scientific definition, can be divided- into three classes: internal work, such as nervous energy required for regulating the processes of the body, intellectual requirements and tbe force needed for digestion, and so forth ; caloritio work, for tbe reduction of beat to maintain tbe animal temperature; mechanical or muscular work. Tbe amount of force expended on each of these departments varies with tbe individual, but the force is tbe same. From numerous calculations it is observed that tbe average amount of force daily expended by an adult weighing 150 pounds is equivalent to lifting 3,400 tons one foot. This is divided thus: Internal work. S00 tons: calorific work, 2,810; mechanical work, MOO. So tbat tbe amount of work a man can do a day is about equivalent to lifting 300 tons one foot. Eigot hours' pile-driving is equivalent to 212 tons; turning a winch to 374 tons; walking a mile on the level, unloaded, 17 67 tons; carrying a weight of 60 pounds one mile, on a level, 24 75 tons. Thus the healthiest work a man can do is to work at manual labor in the open air, so long ss be keeps within tbe expenditure of about 300 tons of force. Making allowances for the force expended in various ways by a human being in ordinary business, therefore be ought to take a walk of nine miles to make up tbe amonnt of exercise neceseary to keep bis body in good order. EVERY ACTION OP THE BODY is attended wilb chemical changes in the composition of its tismes, by which fores is released for thinking, and other nervous exercises, tor maintalng tbe temperature of tbe body, or for enduring, it with activity. The foics must be supplied as fast as it is expended, and it is supplied in latent form by tbe food we eat, and tbe oxygen that

every respiration takes into the lungs. The food we eat consists of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, from all which a certain amount of oxygen bas been taken as tk-ey passed through vegetable form. Their latent beat, derived from the sun, is re

stored again when the carbon is burned in oxygen, and that ia precisely what is effected when we breathe, taking in oxygen, to burn up tbe carbon and sustain animal heat. Knowing precisely in what directions fores is expended, and also ths proportions in which they are directed, we should, of course, endeavor to conform our diet to our necessities, that there will be no lack of force in any direction. By far tbe greater part of the force supplied is for generating beat, leaving a smaller amount to be divided between tbe recuperation of nervous and muscular energy. Protestor Fraukland, by

a series of patient experiments, has taken the different elements of onr food and combined them so as to yield tbe requisite proportions of terviceable force. He has found tbat 1,800 grains of dry albumen, 1.350 grains of fat and 4,900 grains of starch, added together, yield an aggregate of 3,5M foot tons, or almost the identical amount of force

exerted by the average adult wbo weighs 150 pounds, namely 3,400 foot tons. -WHKH A NAMS-lTnMtlIJKV T

he is merely keeping his body in the best

possible condition, and the scientific trainers

of to-day bave gone back to tne very system indulged in by the Greeks when preparing for the Olympic games. Twenty-five years ago ths trainer who insisted ueoa dieting a subject with large quantities of fatty matter would have been considered insane. Strangely enough, tbe experiments of Dr. Frankland and others, including so eminent a physicist as Professor Huxley, pronounce in favor of eating a considerable allowance of fatty mailer, which the Oiymphian contestants took in the form, of roast pork. The tables laid down tor men in training nowadays, therefore, abandon the largely albuminous diet, . and accept a far different one. - In these table we find some curious corrections of oll notions. For instance, an ounce of lean beef, containing ten grains of nitrogen and 64 ot carbon, furnishes 55 foot tons of energy; an ounce of oatmeal supplies 152 foot tons; an ounce of butter supplies 280 foot tons,and au ounce of dried bacon the largest amount of all 295 foot tons; an ounce of poultry furnishes but 61, and an ounce of sugar 275- foot tons. A diet of one pound of meat, a pound and a quarter of bread, one ounce of butter, 12 ounces of potatoes about one large, well cooked, mealy one one ounce of sugar and nine ounces of milk, per diem, yield 301 grains of nitrogen, 3,80 f carbon, and 3 305 foot tons" of energy. Here the energy falls short, and the carbon is 100 grains bhort. Half an ounce of butter or bacon added toil will make it exactly right; for the greatest amount of energy, with tne least wear and tear of tbe vital organs is attained when 300 grains of nitrogen and 4,000- grains of carbon are taken into the stomach and reduced by the digestive organs. This is the standard diet lor tbe average healthy man doing a moderate amount of work. Labor, whether mental or muscular, of a more than ordinarily severe character, demands a larger sap-

Ely of food, out tne sctentinc liver win nave is meals prepared to yield something approximate to the standard above given. He will not eat too much arbummorus food like meat, or too little bread and tat or butter, nor will he neglect the vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce watercress and an occasional potato, for these last supply a certain salts derived from, tbe earth, necessary for the purification of the blood; while a s albuminous food, while it serves the purposes of keeping him warm and ecuve, throws upon, the kidneys a great deal more than their share of the work, and, therefore, tends to weaken them, and through, them the whole system. So much for preparatory

diet. " WOW VOR EXERCISE necessary to keep the muscles iu -proper condition and work off the food hsuh supplies muscular energy. Obviously that form of exercise which attacks the largest number of muar .1 s is tbe most desirable. But, before paooreding to discuss tbe forms of exercise maeX, profitable, a word should be said as t. tbe effect of exercise. Most important are tbe effects

upon the heart and lungs aad. their subsidiary agents. Tbe system requires tbat a great deal of oxygen ehouU- be taken into the lungs and thus to the blood, in order first to burn np the carboa. and supply heat.

and to carry off the carWjiio add formed by this combustion. Frec full and copious respiration is needed: and exercise, by increasing tbe rapidity ot the circulation, increases proportionat'jVy tbe amount of air required. Thus exercise serves to purify tbe blocd ot carbonic roid as well as to supply the proper heat for the body. So long as tbe power of maintaining strong and raLid respiration continues, sufficient oxygen is drawn into tb s body, and sufficient caibonio

acia is- a raw a out, but, when this power

talis, tne 'carbonic acid accumulates in the blood, and produces breatblessness.

This is . t

The b'iood

blood, laden with carbonic add, is pumped back into the system. Still another danger arises from too violent exercir e before the arteries learn to accommodate themselves to the increased demand upon them, and that is dilation of the cavities, which give way before the strain and induce chronic disease. Hence, when persons of sedentary pursuit take sudden and violent exercise they endanger their health in a very sanoas degree. Those who begin to mend their lazy habits must do so slowly, gradually accustoming

too arteries to do more work, and thus preventing heart disease. No man - who has worked like a machine for years is in a con

dition to run any distance at full speed, and sbould not attempt it. His exercise should be confined to a brisk walk to begin with, and he sbould avoid anything like a serious condition of breatblessness. After the proper condition is arrived at his digestive system

win oe enormosiy improved, and his whole body will begin to glow with health and animation. EXERCISE FO& CHILDREN,--: Exercise is instructive with children, and sbould be encouraged. Children, when they.

nave reached tbe age ot three years, should be allowed to play as much as they like, and the hoops and balls, for whicn they have -an instinctive partiality, are better than any gymnastic course they can go through. The German system of gymnasia for boys Is not ' advocated in the volume before us. Tbe -games which boys also take to are the most beneficial tbat can be found for them. Swimming, for Instance, judiciously allow-, ed, exercises in a profitable degree all the muscles of the body, and like foot ball, shinny, leaping, - running, wrest- -ling, boxing, and so forth, are better than anything of an artificial character. The gymnasium is all very well in its way, but the game is very much better. There is one subject which the scientific, gentlemen who are publishing the health pi i mere lay great stress npon, and that is tbe

injury done to young lads by the athletic contests which have, during the past 20 -years, fonnd so much favor in the English publio schools. A table of growth, based -npon a careful observation of 3,695 boys of ages ranging from 13 to 17, shows that tbe development of tbe human male body is -greatest between 13 and 17, reaching its maximum about tbe 16th year. Thus the period of a boy's life between 16 and 17 becomes one of the greatest consequences to him, and if be be at such a season subjected to great strain as he undoubtedly, both . intellectually and physically, where athletic -contests are encouraged his development . must suffer, and either his future growth will be interfered with or tbe foundation, will be laid of constitutional disease. . GIRLS AT GAMES. Girls up to eight or nine years are allowed to play the same games as their brothers,., and generally beat them, but, after . that

time, preposterous notions of deportment . begin to dwarf them. Corsets and tight shoes cripple their bodies, and exercise ceases. The muscles dwindle and watte, and the whole ghastly, procession of feminine ills begin to appear. Of course it Is not . expected that they should play violent games, like foot ball or cricket, . but fives, rackets, base ball of tne feminine order. . lawn tennis, rowing, riding and swimming , ought to be Indulged in by girls as well as -boys. Where these opportunities are denied . them, they should be given the privilege of ' tbe gymnasium. Boys games may- be safely played by grown men, up to 40, when changes begin to take place in the body which render exercise likely to throw a great strain npon the heart and bloodvessels injurious and undesirable. Long before men have reached 40 the great majority bave settled down to -sedentary pursuits and begin to prematurely decay for want of exercise. But this is wrong. Fishing, bunting aud walking are proper exercue for men, and between 40 and 50 it is indispensable that they should avail themselves of something of the kind.- The

circulation begins to fail at 40; the digestion ' is impaired. Mental labor and family and business cares bave by this timebegun to tell upon the most . robust physique, and exercise is - the oniv remedy iu the world for the little ailments that begin to tell. Disturbances of ' the stomach and liver, catarrh, restless and . disturbed Bleep, bad dreams, giddiness, dimnets of sigh, palpitation of the heart and a . score of other symptoms, annoying, and to -most men alarming, begin to threaten gout, . gravel, stone and fatty degeneration; and, . unless the remedy of good, copious exerciseis ttken, the threat is fulfilled, aud the man . of 50 is a broken down old man 20 years before his time. But healthy exercise is a. complete reatorauve.
