Wlmt Dofltiin 8oy» Prelmbly no question of iiersonnl hygiene Ims occupied bo much utlontlon from lavmon or laywomen hh tho ques tion how to avoid growing fat. Doctors, we think, ns a rule tako little interest in it ns long as it din's not result in somo form of Illness. About tin! Inconven ience of being fat, there in generally lit tle use in consult ing them. Until within about twenty-live years tho fat people, if wo may use the expression, lie down under their fat. The opinion Hint fat- i’"°s was irremediable was in fact widely diffused. Mrs.' Fanny Kemble used to sav, in tier grand manner, that '/when thero was a constitutional tendency to fat, no diet, nor exercise, nor sorrow would avail." Since she took tills view, however, a great change has come over wlmt we may call the fat world. Fat ptsiple re fuse tiny longer te accept their fatness as ho|iolen*. They deny that any portion of the human family Ims lieon set iqiart by Nature as tho prey of obesity. This great awakening was due in a large de gree to tin 1 celebrated Hunting, an im mensely fat limn, who, by greatly re ducing his weight hv routining himself to nitrogenous food, tilled all fat pcoplo with tho anticipation of a hotter day. Tens of thousands followed his example, and cut down their size immensely. Un fortunately he died very, soon after he became lean, and a panic spread through his followers. Distrust alxint the egret of his system on the general health be gan to gain ground, Many peoplo suf fered severely in strength and spirits by following his regimen too strictly, and It fell Into more or less discredit. It would now he as hard to (bid an original out- and-out disciple of limiting ns of I’rlcHX- nltz, the hydroputldst, orofHahnemann, the hoimuopulhlst. lint many still fol low him in a slight degree, by eschewing butter, eating Imt little bread and pota- t(X's and sticking steadily to lean meat. If his teachings and example had Imd no "fleet at all, however, It would have proved that the fat pie were less en terprising and energetic than other civil ized men in our day ever are. They re fused to consider limiting's failure as llnal. They declined to accept the doc tor’s advice to "let well enough alone,” They continued their demand that otios ity should Ih, treated as a disease, and a euro found fur it, Accordingly every few years a new fat doctor appears on the scene, ami the quacks till tip the in tervals with the snlo of more or less deadly specifics. No great progress was made, however, until llismarek became dissntislled with his I'at, mid called for u physician who could relieve him of It. This physician appeared in the person of a certain Dr. Kchwcnlgor, who out down the chaneollor’s weight toHiieh an extent that lie Imd him nominated to a profes sorship in tho faculty of medicine in tho Berlin university, mid Insisted on Ids ap pointment in the teeth of lltu opposition of tho other doctors, who Imd either never heard of Schwonigor before, or heard wlmt wiih bad. To tho argument that lie had won no distinction In tho profes sion, tho miRWor was that lie Imd taken fifty or sixty |ioiinds oil' tho prlneo’s huge frame. Hchwonigor accordingly rapidly licemne an authority on fillin's, and the pamphlet containing his system is sold by tons of thousands. Tho well known Dr. Yeo, of London, discusses this system In The Nineteenth Uontury, It. ought to lie said eupa -smit that Hchwonlger’s cure Is claimed aid by Professor Oertel, of Munich, who says ha disciuered it, Imt thisnvuils him little, lieeauso ho did not treat llioclmiiuelior. Schwonigor maintains that tho chief cause of fat among men, ns among uni mills, ip eating too much, no matter of wlmt, and drinking too much, liven of water, at one'a meals, hut c peclnlly of wine, IM*or and spirits. Tim eeii'lrul principle of tills system is, tlmt unless you live by muscular toil you must cut down tlin quantity you eat, and must drink Imt little, if any, with your meals. Of enttrso lie lain minor rules, and makes distinctions between dllD'i'ent article of food, Imt to him quantity is the great enemy of tho olieaa, After him comes a certain Klwtein, who also has Ills system, which differs from Ugh limiting's and Hchweniger's, Imt all tbreo agree tlmt to lm lean you iiiust greatly reduco your consumption of the carbo-hydrates or starchy tilings, Germany is the country where the most vigorous fight with fijt Is curried on, mid where fat cures excite most in terest, owing, it is Buid, to the great prevalence of olx-slty, a result in part of tlm consumption of Issr, tiqd in pari,- doubtless, of tlm frequency and h- uli- ncss of the meals. Accordingly the num ber of peoplo who ('o to the various baths for simple corpulency is very largo, Oeriel makes provision for tills elre-s liy prescribing carefully graded walks, in which tho ascent will stimulate tho heart's action and strengthen it. All tho masters agree tliut it is mainly through its elfecl on the heart tlmt fat becomes dangerous. If you surround your heart thickly with fat you impede Its working, and It gradually grows weaker, and thou, some lino day, when you have put a little more fat on il and call on It f<rr extra exertion, it stops short nnd'dowii you go. Fat does rot greatly (re/ulilo the young and active in any country. It-is when, in middle lifo, ex ercise L'giris to lm distasteful, but Iho appetite remains ns good as ever, tliut il comen on jsioploliko a strong man armed, und makes exertion, especially in hot weather, very formidable. But the fat people are aroused, and we fo>-l sure their number, in proportion to |x>pukition, will hereafter bo diminished.—Now York Evening Post. A Stradivari us violin is said to have been found in a Norwich, Conn., loan office. It is a big round model of per fectly symmetrical lines, and a rich, dark red color. Tho instrument is Bomowhut tho worso for wear, but the tone is rich. About I>ecnUcn. Our esteemed eontempory, Tito Now' York Sun, which is proud of its un common accuracy in tlm ttso of lan guage, makes a common mistake wlton it refers to tho present year ns “the "dosing year of tlm ninth docado." Tho year 1890, not tho year 18R9. will lie tho closing year of tlm ninth decade of tlm Nineteenth century. Tho year l was tlio 11 rut year of the Christian era, and tlm 11 rst dorado was not comploUd until tlmcloso of the lentil year. Tho year 1889 is the 1889th year of tho Christian era, and tlm present year will not bo completed till tlio cloflo of tho 1890th year; that is, tho Hist day of Wccntuher, 1890. Tho tenth decudo will begin on tho 1st day of January, 1891, and end on tho 81st of Doootnbor, 1900. It is it very eominon error to sup pose that tho present century will eml with the close of tlio year 1899. It will end only with tho last day of the last month of tho year 1900, and tlm Twentieth century will not begin un til .Inn nary 1,1901. It is just its well to bo accurate in keeping tlio uccouut of our transac tions with Puttier Time.—Boston Globo. AOipii of llto Drittl.

I recently culled on my friend and the evening with him and Ills widowed mother. A portion of our conversation turned upon tho dead professor, and sev eral times 1 noticed tlmt the widow or tiie son in alluding to "pupu,". as they calks I him, with tender ulTectinn, mo tioned toward a simple terra cotta urn, locked Ix'hilid tlm glass dixir of a Imnil- somo cabinet in tlm corner of tho wall, I learned later that tho tit'll held tho ashes of the dead man, who had been cremated by his own request, and that It was tlm intention of tlm mother to have her own ashes mingled with his when the time should come, and both I nr led together. —Alfred Trumhlc in Pittsburg Bulletin.
