DON'T GORGE YOURSELF. tome Sound Advlee on the Suljitct of Foods mud Feeding. The vast majority of peoplo are abso lutely wrong ou the subjvot of feeding. They think that rich and luxurious peo ple, feeding on the richest and most luxurious foods, are the most fortunate and healthy people. I assure you it is Just tberoverse.

Dives dies in plenty, Lazarus in pov erty. Do not die like Lazarus if you can help it, and do not dio like Dives if yon have the opportunity, but find the happy condition, easy enough to find if you determine to loam how ou least food you con do the most and best work. Never eat until you are satiated, never eat in the day one heavy meal, but di vide your food into three light meals, equally distributed as to time and quan tity. Eat slowly, take small mouthfuls, masticate, or chew, your food well, touch your food with your fingers as lit tle as possible, do not cry out for animal food more than twice a day at most, have all animal food well cooked and do not forgot fruit as food.

How a Country Couslu Made Miserable a Newly Made Man About Town. When an adaptive young man from tho far corner of some New England or west' em state lives for a time in New York and absorbs enough of its atmosphere to gain the prestige of a regular boulevard ier, it's pretty hard now and again to have old times thrust upon him in the person of a primitive cousin or brotuur in law, whom he is bound in conscience to entertain. A case of this kind occur' red reoeutly, iu which tho artless rul ative saw nothing but a screamingly funny lnpse of memory, while tho man about town found a mortification thero- iu which was pretty hard to live through. A complete dulivoranco of the bump kin into the hands of the outfitter made him presentable, and then there was the littlo bachelor dinner at a Fifth nvo uuo hotel givon by the swell to all tho smart mou, who wanted "to meet your cousin, don t you know." All went merry until tho wiue list camo forth. To be suro, the bumpkin talked too loud and refused to under stand any monitory wink, but thou ho Baid nothing too badly out of place. "Whnt wiuo will yon have?" said the cousin, addressing him. Haw I Haw I I don t know, Cousin Dick, anything about tho wino. You'll have to settle that yourself." Shall we begin on a bottle of San- tenio?" "Lordy, how can I tell I Anything you likol" shoutod the rod cheeked, bul let headed youth, who couldn t make head or tail of the winks and looks of deadly warning emanating from the swell s eye. Pooplo at adjoining tables pricked np their oars in amused curiosity, while the guests at tho table looked a trido dis concerted nt the bumpkin's noise. "What, said the swell, (Irmly plant- ng his index finger ou the word "Mo doc" and glaring at the youth mos nierically, so that ho might understand and repeat it, "do you generally take?" "Usually 1" shouted tho youth. "Haw, haw, hawt Isn't that great? Usually nothing 1 Of course! Never see wino. How could I? Yon know that, Cousin Dick, as well as I da Yon never saw wine at home, and now New York makes you forget all about it Usually I Haw, haw!" and the tumble yonth strotchul out at full length and roared satisfactorily for about five minutes. while sense of frnzenness stole over his cousin, and the swells looked on in amused pity. That frozen cousin is dead henceforth to family ties in so far as dining social recruits is concerned, at least New York Horald. During five or six years Murccl had worked at that famous painting which he affirmed should represent tho cross ing of the Red sea, and for five or six yeurs this masterpiece of color had been obstinately refused by the jury ut tho annual sulon. So, from force of habit in going and coming so often from the studio to the mnsee and from the in usee to tho studio, the picture knew the road so well that, if ono hud set Hon wheels, It would huvo been ublo to go all alone to the Louvre. Marcol, who had ten times ropnintcd and rearranged this canvas from top to bottom, attributed to a personal hostil ity of the mombors of tho jury against himself the ostracism which rejected it annually from tho Square salon, and in his idle moments he had com posed in honor of the Cerberuses of the institute a little dictionary or curses with soino illustrations of a savage fe rocity. This collection, which hud be come celebrated, had obtained in tho studios and ut tho School of tho Fine Arts the popular success which is at tached to the immortal complaint of Joan Bel in, painter in ordinary to the grand stiltnn of Turkey. All tho daub ers of Paris had a copy of it in their memory. For a long time Marcel was not dis couraged by the determined rejections which he recoived ut each annual ex hibition. He was comfortably settled in the opinion that his picture was, in its least proportions, the long sought for pendant to the "Murriago Feast at t'ana, "that gigantic masterpiece whose brilliant splendor the dust of three cen turies has not been able to tarnish. So, every year at the epoch or the salon, Marcel sent his picture to be examined by the jury. Only in order to throw the examiners off the scsnt and to try to buf!!e them in their preconceived de termination to exclude it, which preju dice they seemed to have against the "Crossing of the Red Sea without changing anything in the general com position of the painting, he modified certain details and changed the title of his picture. Thus, one year it came before the jury under the name of "The Crossing of the Rubicon." But Pha ruoh, badly disguised under Cesar's mantle, was instantly recognized and re jected with all the honors due him. The following year Marcel threw upon the foreground of his canvas a lay er of white paint to represent snow. planted a tree in one comer, and dress ing up an Egyptiua in the uniform of the imperial guard of France he bap tized his picture "Tho Crossing of the ueresma. The jury, which had rub bed up its spectacles thut day upon the tails of its green palmed coats on official occasions the members of the institute wear dress coats having green palms embroidered on the lupels and collars was not duped by this new ruse. It recognized perfectly the obsti nate canvas, especially by a big devil of a many colored horse thut pranced about on top of a wave of the Red sea. The dressing of this hoise served Mar cel for all his experiments in coloring, and in his everyday speech he called it "a synoptical tableau of fine tones, " be- causo it reproduced all the most varied combinations of color with their plays of light and shado. But once more, unmoved by this fine detail, the jury had not black balls enough to fully ex press their feelings in rejecting "The Crossing of the Deresinn. " Very well, " said Murcel, "I'll wait! Next year 1 shall send it again under the title of the 'Passage des Punora mas.' " A few days later, and when Macrel had already forgotten terrible threats of vengeance he hud uttered against his persecutors, he received a visit from Father Medicis. Thus the bohomians hud nicknamed a Jow named Solomon, who ut that epoch was well known to all members of artistic and literary Bo hemia, with whom he was in perpetuul rotations. Pero Medicis did business in all sorts of bric-a-brac, llo sold com plete sots of furniture at from IS francs up to 8, 000. Ho bought everything and know how to sell it again nt a profit. Tho exchange bank of M. Prondhon was a very little uftuir compared to the system npplied by Medicis, who pos sessed the genius of trufiic to a degree never before attained by even tho most ablo of his fellow bolievers. His shop, which was Bituated in the Place du Carrousel, was a fairyland where one found everything to bo desired. All the products of nature, all the creations of art, all that comes forth from tho bowels of the earth andol genius, Med icis made of it an object of negotiation. His business touched everything, ab solutely everything that exists; he dealt even in the ideal. Medicis bought ideas in order to exploit them himself or to sell them again. Known to all the litterateurs and all the artists, an intimate of tho palette and a familiar friend of the writing desk, he was the Asmodeus of tho art. He would sell you IOH18 cigars for the plot of a novel, some slippers for a sonnet, some fresh fish for paradoxes; he chatted "by the hour" with writers whose business it was to relate in the newspapers the scandal of society; he would procure you places in the galleries of the house of parliament and invitations to private soiroes; he lodged by the night, the week or the mouth the wandering daub ers who paid him in copies of the works of Flavins Josephus. On entering the home of the bohe- I tniuns, with that intelligent air which j distinguished Mm, the Jew divined that he had arrived at a propitious mo ment. In fact, the four friends found themselves at that moment met in coun cil, and under the presidency of a fero you an entrance Into that gallery of art. In a word, 1 have coma to buy your 'Crossing of tho Red Sea. ' " "Cash?" said Marcel. "Cash," responded the Jow, making the orchestra in his breeches pocket play a lively tune. "Go on, Medicis," said Marcel, dis playing his painting. "I wish to leave to yourself the honor of fixing the price of this work, which is beyond all price," The Jow placed on the table 00 crowns in beautiful new silver pieces. "Oo on," said Marcel; "that Uotily the advance guard. " "M. Marcel," said Medicis, "you well know I shall add nothing. Reflect I Fifty crowns. That mukes ISO t runes. Thut's a sum, that isl" "A feoblo sum," replied the artist. "Why, know that my first word is al ways my lust, merely In tho robe of my Pharaoh there are SO crowns' worth of cobalt. Pay me at least tho material. Equalize those piles, found np the fig ures, and 1 will cull yon Leo X." "Hole's my last word," said the Jew. "I'll not add a sou more, but 1 otfer a dinner to all of you, various wines at your own discretion, and at tho dessert I'll pay in gold." "Does any gentleman wish to make any furthor bid?" yolled Col lino, rap ping throe times with his fist on the iuble. "Going, going, gone I" "Agreed," said Marcel. "1 will send for the picturo tomor row," said the Jow. "Now let us start, gontlemen; the table is laid." The four friends descended the stairs. singing the chorus from " Les Hugue nots," "A tablo, a tablel" Eight duys after that feast Marcel learned in what gallery his picture had taken Its place. While walking through the Faubourg Saint Honors be stopped in the midst of a group that was gaz ing with curiosity at the hanging of a sign over a shop. Thnt sign was none other than Marcel's famous picturo, sold by Medicis to a dealer in provi sions. Only, the "Crossing of the Red Sea" had once more suffered a modifi cation and bore a new title. Some one bad added to it a steamboat and bad called it, "At the Port of Marseilles." A fluttering ovation arose among the Ionngers when they discovered the painting. So Marcel turned away, de lighted by this triumph, and murmur ed,"The voice of the peoplo is the voice of Oodl " Boston Transcript. FOR LITTLE FOLKS. A MESSAGE FROM SANTA CLAUS.

Veterinarians Say They Know of No Ob jection to It Use. "Shall we eat horse?" is a question which a Philadelphia newspaper has bcon patting to leading veterinarians. While none of thorn answered squaroly in the affirmative, there was general concurrence in the opinion that horse meat makes rather good eating at a pinch. Francis Bridge said, "The flesh Is as nutritious and in flavor as good as that of the bovine, and I see no good reason to interdict its use as human food." W. L. Zuill declared that he would eat it in preference to pork. It is "more juicy and of better flavor than ox fiosh," ho said. S. J. J. Hargar, who had onoe oaten a mule tenderloin, found it inferior in fiber and taste to boof. E. M. Miohinor thought that horse flesh was not injurious to "human health, " and he pointed ont that nei ther tuboroulosis, actinomycosis or tri china was found in the horse, the ex ception boing uotod that rare oases of tuberculosis had boen recorded. John W. Gadsdon boliovod that the flesh of young horses properly cooked was good for man, and he thought that if horses got muoh cheaper "there would be a great temptation to try it " Snmuol C Wober said: "The nosh of the horse scorns to remain tondor with ago and has a more pungent savor than that of other animals. From those suporior qualities it may rondily be seen why it should be more digestible than other meat, which often comes from animals which are promaturely as well as ex cessively fattoned. In Europe, where raw meat is proscribed by physicians, it is generally that af the horse. They claim it is more healthy for those un dergoing sovero muscular exorcise and more nutritious for the weak and ante mio. " Alexander Glass sounded a warning in the following experience: "In two instances, when I ate horsoflesh, I found the moat very tender and rather pleas ant to the taste. At the time I could not Bhuke off tho thought, 'What if this horse had incipient glanders?' for some of that meat was very rare." Several years ago Dr. Uuitlekopor of Philadel phia invited some mombors of tho Phil adelphia club and of tho City troop to a dinner, at tho conclusion of which he announced to his guests, who were much pleased with tho ropast, that they had dined off tho carcass of his old white horso Fedora. glo child should be disappointed. had 20,000,000 of little birds distrib uted through every town to report to me what presents the children were wishing for, and my books up here at tho pole wore kept by 10, 000 of the best polar bear bookkeepers in the arctic regions.

This Queer llemedy I la I'M la the How ery Kingdom. Deer horns are used by the Chinese for medical purposes, and consequently tho value to a Chinaman of a pair of horns depends npnu the quantity of the medic inul property contained In them. This property, which may almost bo called tho "virtue," is suid to bo greater in tho young horns, and to got rarer as the horns grow older. The tleer from which the horns uro obtained are a true species of deer, tho females having no horns, and this, as Darwin has pointed out In Tho Descent of Man, isthocasowitb all kinds of deer proper, tho reindeer only excepted. In substance tho horns ure not homy like the burns of cow or an nntcloiH), but uro, when young, com posed of a very delicate venous sub stance, covered with a velvety costing, and wheu old are osseous rather than callus. For some months after they begin growing they uro very tender, ami tho deer, not liking to touch them against branches of trees or bushes, a thing they are almost suro to do in the forest will remain in the open, deserting cover, and so many times exposing themselves to grcuter dangers than the ones they floe from. After a time, as the horns grow older, the velvet covering begins to peel off, and while doing socanses an irritat ing, itching feeling, that makes the doer rub them against twigs, mossy bark or any other yielding substance not hard enough to hurt This rubbing assists the velvet to peel off, and the horns then enter tho second or iutormediato stage. They are no longer tender, nor are they so hard as they eventually beoomo, but are still going through a process of de-volopmout. Eventually thoir growth is perfected, thoy Btaud for a time, are shed, to bo re placed by new ones, and become the property of the first forester or hunter who has the good fortune to find them. iiioso sinxi norns, together with any horns taken from deer when thoy were approaching the time of shedding, have reached tho third or final stage and ore the least valuable.
