In our ignorance of what the va rious tissues of tho body require for tfoing their work we crowd the sys tem with a great mass of unneces sary food, only an infinitesimal part of which can possibly be of use in strengthening us for our occupa tion. There are about a doaen different kinds of tissue cells in the body, each one requiring a special oil, and those winch arc especially ac tive in our line of work require a much larger amount of food partic ularly adapted to their use than the other tissues, which are almost wholly inactive in our vocation. Thousands of men are forcing fheir brains to do work by stimu lants which only exhaust and do not nourish, and then they wonder that they have nervous breakdown or paresis. Other thousands, in their ignorance of scientific feeding, force their brains to do work every ►bit of which is abnormal, because they do not have sufficient nourish ment. An active brain worker requires a great deal of albuminous foods, foods which contain phosphorus— like fish, oysters and other kinds of shellfish and eggs. Meat is distinct ly muscle focal. It is suitable only lor those who do physical work. The locomotive engineer studies fuels. He does not throw all sorts of combustible things into his fire box just because they are combusti ble. He finds out the best kind of fuel for his engine, that which will give him the greatest possible amount of combustion with the least waste. He makes a profession of his business and studies the re quirements of his engine. But most people seem to think that they can run the most complicated machinery in the world—the* great human en gine—without any special study. The result is that we use all sorts of fuel without reference to the particular work we are doing. Success Magazine. For your health’s sake- Blud vine. An Eye to the Main Chance.

Most children would satisfy the dictates of conscience by passing the box around once, but she seems to wish to share the whole box with us.” Lucinda’s ingbY.^.r^mTtheht tic girl went out of the room she said: “Don’t count too much on Lucinda’s gener osity. I know it looks that way, but as a matter of fact she is mere ly working for herself. I don’t per-j mit her to eat much candy, but shfl knows that every time she passes the box around she’ll get one her self. She knows 1 won’t scold much so long as she is passing her sweet meats around to others.” Ex change. H#r Sacrifice. A teacher in a certain Sunday school had been impressing on her girls the need of making some per soual sacrifice during Lent. Ac cordingly on the first Sunday of that penitential season, which hap pened to be a warm ‘day, she took oecusion to ask each of the class in turn whut she had given up for the sake of her religion. Everything went well, and the answers were proving highly satisfactory, until she came to the youngest member. “Well, Mary,” inquired the teacher, “what have you left off foj Lent ?” “Please, ma’am,” stammered the child, somewhat confused, “I—l’ve left off my leggings.” Tha Safe Way. A coal miner in the east of Scot land was visited by a friend, and among the places of interest shown was, of course, the pit mouth. See ing the cage lowered into the pit with the stout steel rope, the min er’s friend exclaimed: “My word!
