Dangers of Eating, as Seen
by a Humorist.
About a year ago wo had discar
ded everything tliatj we thought
wits dangerous to the health, when
wo were startled on lerning that
syrup was adulterated with nitric
acid, and that miasma lurked in the
ho irding-house batter-cake. Figures
were given to show that the dread
ful batter-cake habit was spread
ing, and prophecies were made
that it would eventually ruin the con
stitution of the strongest devotee, and
reduce the nation to a vast hospital of
flap jack invalids. So the batter-cake
was scratched off our list of edible
fruits, and next went the fragrant
codfish ball because it was said to
produce cold feet.
Then we learned that the sad
fticed and cohesive biscuit wan a
synonym of indigestion, and the
unostentatious kr.,ut but another
name for rheumatism, so the bis
cuit and kraut had to go; then wo
found out that castor oil contained
the germs of ingostntic molecules,
whatever that is, and wero, there,
fore, forced to give up that hilarous
beverage.
This tiling wont on till we had
cut everything from our bill of fare
but cistern water and chewing gum,
and yet found ourselves no stronger
or healthier than when wo were
hastening to the tomb from tho ef
fects of gorging ourselves‘with a
heavy lino of assorted poisons throo
times or four limes a day.
About this lime a man came
along with a magic lantern and
showed us that every drop of ci -
tern water contained an acquarinra
of hideous marine monsters, with
wriggling tails, and the druggist
told us that the habit of gum chew
ing was a fruitful source of cancer.
Next thing we did was to swoar
off being an infernal fool on the
diet question, and now we eat any
thing and everything that our teeth
will masticate or our palate com.
mend, and wo can work ten hours
a day and see to read small print
without spectacles.
Manners of Gen. Lee’s Head
quarters-
The rocent article touching
“Manners in the White House,’’ re
calls a war incident, A distin
guished civilian, Mr B, was visiting
a relstive in tho Confederate army
under General Lee, and was invited
by that officer to take dinner at his
headquarters.
Please post me, he said to a mili
tary friend. How aro things con -
ducted; same as in a private man*
iiu?
Oh, no, said his waggish friend.
Everything must ho strictly in ac
cordance with military etiquette.
Why what is that?
Why, Gen Leo takes tho foot of
the lablo, and you wifi he seated on
his right. Col Chilton will take the
head of tho table, as soon as all are
seated, Gen Leo will ask a blessing.
Why, wlist then?
He will then ask >ou what you
have, and, as th re will be nothing
but beef, politeness will requi e
that you answer beef. Then Gen
Lee will trim to Col Chilton and
say, Beef for Mr B. Col Chilton
will seize tho carver? and, disenga
ging a slice, and placing it on a
plate will say:
"Beef for M r B.
By order of Gen. Lee,
li II Chilton, A A G.”
Guiteau “At Home.”
An editorial letter from Washing
ton in the Post-Dispach gives a long
account of a recent visit to Guiteau
in his cell. The writer says Guiteau
does not like any of his photographs,
nor does he resemble descriptions giv
en of him by reporters. He is, the
letter says, a very commonplace per.
son, manifests great eagerness to get
money T and presents no sign of lunacy.
He is allowed to sell his photographs
and autographs, and is receiving near
ly SSO per day. Most of this money
he sends to this publisher, Gibson,
who is gatting out another edition of
his ’xjok, “Truth,” at the author's ex
pense. He has also given some mon
ey to his sister for things she sent him.
Last week he sent Sioo to Scoville,
his lawyer; SSO to his brother in Bos
ton, and SIOO to his publisher. He
handles greenbacks like a bank teller,
and talks about/iifferent features cf
his photos precisely as if he were lie
hind a counter selling ribbons or
lace.
Montezuma Weekly: A man
from Drayton tells tis of a combat
he saw several days ago between a
rooster and a crow. The rooster was
attacked in a field while attending
to his own legitimate business. The
victory for a while seemed doubtful
but finally the rooster conquered
and left his opponent field
dead,
The Modern Boy.
His loving mother said ; ‘lfyou take
this castor oil, l’,l let you go to the
circus.’
‘flow much ?’ he cautiously inquir
ed.
‘Oh, only a spoonful—just a spoon
ful,’ she replied.
‘Ami you’ll give me some sugar be
sides ? he asked.
‘Of course I will; a big lump.’
He waited till she began pouring
front the bottle, and then asked :
‘And you will give me ten cents
toil?’
‘Yes, of course.’
‘And you’ll buy me a shoo-fly kite ?’
he went on seeing his advantage,
‘I guess so.’
‘No kite, noile,’ he sai 1 as he step
ped back.
‘Well I’ll buy you a kite,’ she said
filling the spoon up.
‘And a velocipede ?
‘l’ll think of it.’
‘You can’t think—no castor oil
down my throat! he exclaimed, look
ing around for his hat.
‘Here—l will, or I’ll tease father
to ; and I know he will. Come now
swallow it down.’
‘And you’ll buy me a goat,’
‘Yes.’
‘And two hundred marbles ?’
‘Yes. Now take it down.’
‘And a coach dog ?’
‘Well, I’ll ask your father.’
‘And you'll buy me a pony?'
‘Oh ! I couldn’t do that. Now be
a nice boy and swallow it down,’
‘Oh. yes ! I will swallow that stuff,
I will,’he said, as he clapped on his
hat. ‘You may fool some other boy
with a circus ticket and a lump of
brown sugar, but it'll take a hundred
dollar pony to trot that castoi oil
down my throat, —Harper's Bazaar.
Child Nature-
Bettor let the benevolence, socie
ty, church and everything else go a
thousand times than to neglect those
prineeless interests entrusted to our
hands at home, A mother's first
duty, pre-eminently, is to look well
after the ways of hei own honsebold
and no amount of activity in con
nection with public charities, or re
ligious or reformatory enterprises—
revival meetintrs, camp-meetings, or
temperance crusades—-can at all
atone for the grave fault of commit,
ting to other hands the responsibil
ities providentially entrusted to her
own. Innocent, helpless, unhoused
candidates for oternity in spite of
lliotnsolvca; doomed to nn| immor
tal existence without any
will or choice of their own—who
will not say that our vory first and
most important of all our duties aro
to our children, —Exchange-
A Short Proposal.
The attention of those persons who
are at a loss for a comprehensive
mode of expression of their matrimo
nial views is called to the following :
Do you love me ? asked he.
Yes, replied she.
Marry? quoth he.
Yes, sai<l she.
This conversation is reported by a
young woman in a breach of promise
case as having occurred between her
self and her false lover. It is brief
and ar first glance seems to cover the
case, but has its weaknesses. She
thinks it contains a promise to marry,
but the young man says he didn't
promise anything, and it really dosen't
seem that he did. 'fhe judge has Ihe
matter under advisement.
Life.
If we die lo day the nun will Rhine ns
brightly, ami the birds will sing as sweet
ly on the morrow. Business will not lie
suspended a moment, sad tho great m iss
will not bestow a thought on nor mem
ories. “Is he dead ?“ will he the *o’-
emn inquiry of a few, ns they pnss to
their work. But no one will miss us, ex
cept onr immediate connections, snd
in n short time they will forget and
laugh as mertily ns when we Rat beside
them. Thus shall we sil, now setive in
life, pnss away. Our children srowd
closely behind ns, and they will soon
pass sway. In a few years not a living
creature ern say, “I remember him. “We
lived m another age, and did business
with those who slumber in tho tomb.
Thus Is life ! How rapidly it passes .;

ture occurred in the lower pnrt of this
