Better Than Medicine, bat Few People Qua Stand the Strain. Jesus is frequently quoted to prove that fasting Is a physical benefit; says the Kansas City Journal. Jesus fast ed frequently himself. He taught cer tain miracles could only be performed after fasting and prayer; therefore, It Is concluded by those who believe In fasting that fasting Is good for the physical body. This conclusion is not necessarily correct It is well known that Jesus often sacrificed the good of his body for spiritual ends. He was also fre quently hungered and overtired. The mission of Jesus places the body necessarily secondary to spiritual ends. It is, therefore, unjust to quote his physical self-denials as rules for the upbuilding of the human body. Whether one fasts or n6t depends upon the 'person. If we were asked the question, "Will fasting do me good?" it would place us In the same predicament as If some one should ask us the question. "Shall I cease earning money for a time and draw checks to pay my expenses?" That all depends on whether you have money in the bank. A man with a large sur plus In the bank might very profitably stop earning money for a little season and depend on his bank account for his support but If he had no money in the bank this would be a ruinous expert ment Exactly so with the fasting. If man has plenty of reserve vitality, fast might be a good thing for him But all those people who live active, mental or physical lives and have very narrow margin of reserve vital ity had better not fast Their problem is not to interrupt the nutritive proc esses, but rather to enlarge them if possible. There are lots of people who ought to eat more instead of eat ing less. Those people who make fad of fasting are just as apt to do harm as those other, people who prac tice and preach gluttony. There are no hard and fast rules to apply to this subject Each individ ual case requires special attention. Every person must decide largely for himself. If the blood Is thick and the body Inclined to overfieshiness, appetite ca pricious and there Is a desire for con diments and stimulants with the food, then doubtless, a good fast will be beneficial. Throw the body upon Its own resources. Let the digestive or gans have a rest Allow nature to burn up some of the effete and surplus ma terial already lodged In the body. A fast for such a person would be better than medicine. But a person who has a keen ap petite, properly curbed, who. eats only a moderate amount of food, well se lected, who Is carrying no more flesh than he ought to have, Is not troubled with dyspepsia or Irregular appetite, such a person will only unbalance his bodily powers and derange his physical forces by attempting to fast The best way to fast, after all, is to fast a little with each meal. Stop eating before the appetite is satisfied. If you are not hungry at meal time omit one meal. You will doubtless be hungry by the next meal, then eat only about one-half as much as you want A Tight Place. It was a gay time In Congress one night when there was an all-night ses sion on the Mills tariff bill in 1888. It had been difficult to keep a suffi cient attendance, and the House had adopted a resolution directing the ser- geant-at-arms to compel the presence of absent members. One by one they were brought before the bar of the House, and after making all sorts of excuses and explanations, were per mitted to go unpunished. About midnight Congressman Hen derson was brought before the Speak er. He had, he said, no excuse to offer. "I was at a theater party," he con tinued, "when I was arrested and brought here. There is no sort of ex cuse for absence without leave." "I move that the gentleman from Iowa be fined $5,000!" called one of Henderson's colleagues. "I second that motion!" shouted twenty or more members, all of them his friends. "It Is moved and seconded," said Speaker Carlisle, "that the gentleman from Iowa be fined $5,000. Those in favor of the motion will say, Aye.' " Two hundred voices shouted. "Aye!" "Those opposed will say, 'No.' " Henderson's agonized voice was alone in yelling "No!" There was but one way to slip out of the joke and prevent the motion from being carried, and that was for Speaker Carlisle to overrule the House. "The noes have it" said he, gravely. The gentleman is excused." True Beat of Pulse. Most people overestimate their pulse, as they often count its beats when talking about the matter, and it is a fact well known to physicians, that the excitement of conversation will quicken the pulse from five to twenty beats.

"Miss Hammerton," he said, "you have been a faithful worker during the two years you have been in my em ploy, and I believe you would make a desirable wife. May I hope to claim you as such?" "While I appreciate your kindness and the honor you do me in making the offer, Mr. Oldboy," replied the little azure eyed blonde, "before accepting I wish to say one word. As your stenographer I have allowed you to dictate to me, but if I become your wife I shall reserve the right to do all the dictating myself, and " "Pardon me for interrupting you, Miss Hammerton," said the eld man, "but I think it will be best for you to continue in your present position.
