“FLETCRERISM.”
This is a word which has been
coined 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
cerns itself entirely with the manner
of eating. It is simple in form, but
tedious in the extreme—at least to
those 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 hui%
gry. But this is only by the way, for
the essence of his system 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 system
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 Mo?art was in
musip, 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 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.
“Hein’ Kind to Mothah.”
The daughter of a banker attend
ing the convention last week tells 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 Joys 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,
but he can work a little. The man
that is digging the well whipped
us boys with a buggy whip because
•we threw sand in his machine, and
made black 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 2452 rubles per
month, or less than sixteen rubles
per 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
the empire.—London Anglo-Russian.
It’s all right to follow your inclina
tions if they are going the right way.

LEMON JELLY FOR CARE.
Take the yolks of three eggs, the
juice and rind of one lemon, quarter
of a pound of butter, half pound gran
ulated sugar. Put into a skillet on
the fire and stir until it becomes
thicker than custard, then stir in the
whites beaten to a froth. As soon as
this comes to a boil, take it off and
stir until cold. When quite cold put
it between layers of cake instead of
jelly. It is excellent also in puff
paste. Cover the custard with tne
paste.

A Victorian Anthology.
One discovers already in her two
qualities which she retained through
life and which struck those who knew
her personally in her later years all
the more because they set r.ud at
first sight to be Lardl.’ compatible
qualities. One was a strong p. isjnai
pride and sense of the dignity of fur
riosition. She was not haughty, mu h
less arrogant. But she was pene
trated through and through with a
sense of what it meant to be head of
lhe United Kingdom and the British
Fan pi re. Yet although this fe ir.g
wag added to her own high spirit—
she would have bcea deemed a high
spirited woman even in a private sta
tion — it did not in her bear 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
me were to make a comparison at
all between persons whose surround
ings 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 site had a hor
ror of deceit in others. She thought
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.
