than of jKor cooking. Tho American:
people cat; -at the lowest calculation,
live biUidtis of meals a '.vear. and the
table and it surroundings are certainly
vVtv important. Frorri the simplest lunch
to the most elaborate dinner a' great
deal depends botli upon the nerrico. it
self and upon tho? cn'eil. -S
There is no country in the world
where the general atera;e of food con
sumption i as hlgUas it is ia America,
yet here there is ranch more ill health
from not eating enough than from eat
ing ton much, esiceialiy in small
families. It is appetizing to be sur
rounded by good eaters. Tho man
whose table companions are dainty la
dies content with tea and toast, and pu
ny children with no slomaclu.for beef,
is in danger of falling into mincing
ways himelf, and without knowing or
suspecting tho cauo . finds himself on
the sick list. The doctor gives him a
few pills or prescribes a trip, thinking
him over-uorked, when in point of fact
he is sjmply under-fed. Steak in the
morning, a roast for dinner, and plenty
of potatoes, bread, butter, and still
more stimulating food would work a
sjiecdy cure. The man is not worn out;
t fie engine has not been properly stoked;
that is the whole of it. The science ol
eating has been disregarded. The
bloodlias been enfeebled. Sha injis do
very well for kindling a lire, but lor a
steady tlamo something more substan
tial is rvnuired. If a strong man oj
good habits breaks don n. in whole or
in part, in middle lifo, it may be as
sumed that in nil likelihood be is a vic
tim of unconscious and gradual starva
tion. Of course the understanding of any
science is more important than the mas
tery of all arts, hut it is of very great
moment to the enjoyment of life to
know how to make the ministry to na
tures tri-daily wauts a luxury. The
man who bolts his meals as if he were
performing an irksome duly or simply
tilling a gap, robs himself of dperpeUial
source of uholcMime pleasure.! It help:
digcition to be in the best sense a tab'fe
i artist. Herein the 1-rencii ecel all
other people, and it is the one cause oi
the high average of health in France.- It
is iuiKsible to draw an exact line be
tween the science ami the art of eat
ing, and at.tho ideal dining table they
will o blend that nonc'of the teetipU'al
ities of either shall Le observable." 'In
deed,' one-of the fundamental rnies-ot
the art is that the law of supply jnd
demand hall execute theiu-idve-j at

comes all tho other evenings, and Mr.
Martin is liable to come any time, and
generally does that is, if" ho dosen't
have tho rheumatism. Though he
hasn't but one real leg, he has twico as
much rheumatism as father, with all
bis legs, and there is something very
queer about it; and if I was ho, I'd get a
leg Of something better than cork, and
perhaps he'd hae less pain in it.
It all hapiM'ned last Tuesday night.
Just as it was getting dark, and Sue was
cxjiecting Mr. Travers every minute,
who should come in but Mr. Martin!
Xo' Mr. Martin is such an old ac
quaintance, and father thinks so much
of him, that Sue had to ask him in,
though she didn't want him to meet Mr.
Travers. So when' she heard somebody
open the front gate, she said: "Oh, Mr.
Martin I'm so ihirsty.and the servant
has g6ne out, and you know jut w here

to get some the last timo you were

I was real sorry fordicr, and thought
I'd help her, for girls, are not like us.
They never know what to do w hen they
are in a scrape, ami nicy are inn nu ai
senee of mind when they ought to haie
lots of presence of mind. Sulsaid:
"Ull fix it for you. Sue- Justleaieit
all to me. You stay here and meet Mr.
Travers. who is just coining around the
comer, and I'll manage Mr. Withers."
Sue saidr You darling little fellow

Won't youo downandsce whit it is?"
Of course, I knew ,it wa Mr. Martin

didn't say so. "
