• “ FLETCHERISM. » • • m • * • 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’!’* ■—Milwaukee Free Press. 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.

(At-40’08) 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.
