This is a w r ord which has been
ci med to denote a peculiar dietary
idea originated and advocated by Mr.
Horace Fletcher. It is a system of
dietetics which differs from all others
in that it takes little or no account
of the nature of the food, but con
corns itself entirely with the manner
of eating, It is simple in form, but
tedious in the extreme at least to
ttl333 who do not practice it con
stantly—in its execution.
Mr. Fletcher is an avowed enemy
of the universal habit of sitting down
to three meals a day as a routine
practice, and insists upon the neces¬
sity of eating only when one is hun¬
gry But this is only by the way, for
.
the essence of his systepi is thorough
mastication—not thorough only, but
absolutely complete. One must chew
and chew and chew again every mor¬
sel of food taken into the mouth until
it is reduced to an impalpable and
tasteless fluid, which then slips down
without any conscious act of swallow
ing*
Grand results in the way of bodily
and mental vigor are claimed for this
system. Those who practice it are
said to enjoy absolute health and to
possess great strength and powers of
endurance. Mr. Fletcher himself,
who is now nearly sixty years old,
is gaining prodigiously in muscular
power and in the ability to endure
great physical strain, although he as¬
serts that he is not in training and
that he takes no regular and systera
atic exercise.
In a series of tests scientifically ap¬
plied at the gymnasium of Yale Uni¬
versity, he recently made a record
one hundred per cent, better than any
previously made by trained athletes
of half his years. Naturally he and
his followers assert that this is the
direct result of his system of mastica¬
tion. Others explain it differently.
His record in this respect is so far
ahead of that made by any other per¬
son, whether an athlete or a follower
of his system, that the most reason¬
able explanation is that it is due to a
personal peculiarity-—that he is a
physical genius, as Mozart was in
music, or Napoleon in war, or Shakes¬
peare in literature, and that his
dietary system has only served to de¬
velop his already surpassing powers
of endurance.
His excessive mastication makes
him very abstemious, for in slow eat¬
ing hunger is appeased by a much
smaller amount of food than when
one bolts his food. Most persons eat
far too much, and all excess of food
puts a tax upon the vital energies.
Thorough mastication is good, but
excessive mastication deprives the di¬
gestive organs of their necessary
stimulus, and so is an error. Mod¬
eration is what should be practiced—•
moderation in the amount of food
and moderation in its mastication.
“Bein’ Kind to Mothah.
The daughter of a banker attend¬
ing the convention last week toll. the
following story of an Englishman she
met during a recent trip to Mexico.
The Englishman became acquaint¬
ed with the American party while
they were all guests at a winter ho¬
tel. Whenever the parents of the
American girl proposed any trip the
Englishman immediately begged to
be made one of the party. He was to
be included in a moonlight trip to a
near-by mountain. After the Ameri¬
cans were ready to start they had to
delay some fifteen minutes awaiting
their guest’s arrival. When he did
arrive he electrified them by his com¬
ments on the reason for his delay.
What he said was:
“I beg pardon for my beastly tar¬
diness. Couldn’t help it, don’ cher
know. • I had to bring my mother
from the gardens first. It’s a singu¬
lar horrid bore, but on has to be
kind to his mother, don’ cher know’!’*

The Joj-s of Youth.
A boy in the State School for De¬
pendent Children wrote his father
thus: “Dear Papa—We children are
having a good time here now. Mr.
Sager broke his leg and can’t work.
We went on a picnic and it rained and
we all got wet. Many children here
are sick with mumps. Mr. Higgins
fell off the wagon and broke his rib,
hut he can work a little. The man
that is digging the deep well whipped
us boys with a buggy whip because
we tiu’ ~w sand in his machine, and
made j,ack and blue marks on us.
Ernest cut his finger badly. We are
all very happy. •Argonaut.
Russia and Her Prisoners.
The maintenance of 161 political
exiles in the Yakutsk region costs the
Russian Government 2 482 rubles per
ffionth, or less than sixteen rubles
head are allowed for their keep,
but the cost of their supervision is
9600. This disproportion of expendi¬
ture is pretty much the same all over

A Victorian Anthology.
One discovers already in her two
qualities which she retained through
life and which struck those who know |
her personally in her later years all
the more because they seemed at
first sight to ibe hardly compatible !
! | qualities. One was a strong personal
pride and sense of the dignity of her
I position. She was not haughty, much
less arrogant. But slio was pene¬
trated through and through with a
sense of what it meant to be head of
the United Kingdom and the British
Empire. Yet although this feeling
was added to her own high spirit—
she would have been deemed a,high
spirited woman even in a private sta¬
tion—it did not in her boar the fruit
of vanity. She was not vain. She
knew her own intellectual limitations
and never tried to make a figure in
fields for which he was not fitted. If
one were to make a comparison at
all between persons whose surround
tngs were so different one might in
comparing her with Queen Elizabeth
observe that she was quite free from
two of Elizabeth’s salient faults, per¬
sonal vanity and faithlessness. Truth
| fulness and honor were the basis of
her character and as she was above
deception herself, so she had a hor¬
ror of deceit in others. She thought j
that international policy ought to be
straight-forward and sometimes re¬
monstrated against courses of action
which seemed open to reproach on
that score.—James Bryce in North
American* Review.
