VlKoroiiH MctiKureM Tor Its Ilczuovnl Should He Tnkt'ii. At middle age certain organs lose functional activity and shrink ami waste away, demanding k.ss blood ami ue.*ve energy. This decnaswl vd l'o nutrition, h* not heeded, will result in taking into the body more food than can be oxidized and used either it build up tissue or for the generation o.' heai j.nd energy. The result is kid neys, liver and other excretory organs are overworked in the effort lo remove tile body wastes and become diseased, says a writer in the lLnisekeeiJer. Tlscn nature stores uj this f.rnl material in the fo.-ni of fat in all the lymph spaces, i.fiwicn the libers of the muscles and in every other oiid corner in the body where it can be stowed away, lu tiinu this lifeless, useless structure of fat crowds out muscle, gland aud other normal tissues and takes their place. This is what ia known as fatty degen eration and always shortens life, end ing often in sudden deatii from heart failure, apoplexy, diabetes or kidney disorders. Tho prevention of obesity means reg ulation of diet, especially lu middle life and wheu changing from an active out of .door occupation to a sedentary in door life. Often the amount of food should be cut down from one-fourth to one-half, especially avoiding fats and sweets, also soft foods, which tend to gormandizing from deficient mastica tion and loo hasty eating. No wine, beer or alcoholic drink or tea or coffee should be used. At meals even the use of water should be restricted. Exer cise should be taken in the open air and deep breathing practiced to in crease the intake of oxygen and burn up and oxidize bodily toxic matter. For those women who are oversiout, yet retain a fair amount of physical vigor, the day should begin with a cold bath, plunge, spray, (told towel rub or sponge bath, after which should be tak en active exercise in the form of work, either in the opeu air or in a well ven tilated room, horseback riding, bicy cling or a brisk walk for an hour or more.

At last, after thousands had quitted the city and even left the employ of the Caliph al Mohdi to join the fanat ical movement, an army was sent against: the "veiled prophet," forcing him to flee for safety to the castle at Keh, north of tho Oxus. Finally, when ultimate defeat was certain, the prophet killed and burned his whole family and then threw himself into the liames, being entirely consumed except his hair, which was kept in a museum at Bagdad until the time of the cru sades. He promised his faithful fol lowers that he would reappear to them in the future dressed in white and rid ing a white horse. FABLE OF THE PANSY. Tiie Family of Six Tlmt 1m Contained In (In* A pretty fable about the pansy is current among French and German children. The llower has live petals and live sepals. In most pansles, espe cially of the earlier and less highly de veloped varieties, two of the petals are plain in color and three are gay. The two plain petals have a single sepal, two of the gay petals have a sepal each, and the third, which is the lar gest of all, has two sepals. The fable is that the pansy represents a family confining of husband and wife and four daughters, two of the latter being si -JrHren of the wife. Tho plain petal:? are the stepchildren, with only one chair the two small, gay petals are the daughters, with ft chair each, and the large, gay petal is the wife, with two chairs. To lind the father one must strip away the petals until the stamens and pistils are bare. Tliey have a fanciful resemblance to an old man, with a llannel wrap about his neck, his shoul ders upraised aud his feet in a bath tub. Tin? story is probably of French origin, because the French call the pansv the stepmother. StinliKlit mid ISjroHiifht. Sunlight as distinct from sun heat is of benefit to human eyes.

Starr of the Rcnnty Who Wnn Intoxl cntctl TVilh 1ho Vinlnti of Her Own Lovc11nc*M itnd lite Stntuo In (he Cliurclt of Sun (iiorKis MitKKlore. Here Is a legend which I heard iu Venire. I offer it to all among you who are fond of solitude and silence. I offer It to you as I would offer a flower which has blossomed auiid som ber shadows ou a sleeping lagoon: CJliita Oherardini was tho niece of the doge. Poets whose names we have for gotten, but who wore renowned at that time, had composed Innumerable songs In her houor. They praised in them tho tresses of the young girl, black as night, In which pearls gleamed like milk white stars. They also sang about the radiance of her dark violet eyes and about tho two roses which formed her lips. In truth, Ghita Oherardini was very beautiful. She had, however, lis tened too earnestly to the passionate words of the singers, and an immense pride took possession of lier young soul. 1 One night she heard beneath her win dow the yearning sob of a lute. Stand ing in a motionless gon:lola, a lovesick page was singing to her. Teuder was the music, and the water and the dark ness added something to the sweetuess of the strains and to the passion in the voice of the singer. The young page was glorifying her as the most radiant among all women. (ihita heard him, aud a delightful tremor ran through her. Without wait ing to light the torches, which had goue out, she took her mirror and ran to the window, through which the moonlight shone into her room. Thereupon in this mysterious light she saw that she was strangely beautiful that her beauty was inderd almost supernatural. The moonlight revealed her pale and trans parent, like the princess of a poem. Intoxicated with her charms, she let the seductive mirror slip from her hand, aud a sigh of admiration aud of ecstasy escaped her as she cried: "1 am beautiful! 1 am beautiful!" Thenceforth (Jhita Oherardini spent all her time marveling at her own beau ty. She did not desire to fall in love, for she faueied that there was no man living who was worthy of her. Those songs which had no words of praise for her eyes and her hair she treated with contempt, and to the mysteries of reli gion she never gave a thought She went to high mass solely for the purpose of being seen by the people and of being flattered by theui as they whispered to one another about her. The restless eyes were never turned toward the altar. She thought of nothiug save her own triumphant beauty and of the jewels which set It off in sumptuous fashion. One day Ghita Glierardini slipped a little mirror beside the first page of her mass book, which had been deli cately illuminated by a pious artist. And while her attitude of devotion edi fied the multitude she studied her face enshrined in the book of prayer. The doge's niece had forgotten that the Creator alone is worthy of ship and not any of his creatures. She had also forgotten that pride is an abominable sin—aye, perhaps the most perilous of all sins—since it was tho cause of the rebellion of the archan gels and the downfall of* Lucifer. One day Ghita Oherardini was in tently studying her face in the little mirror between the holy leaves of her mass liook, aud suddenly she uttered a loud cry of terror.. Through the large building it rang, drowning the solemn voice of the priest, the responses of tho congregation and the sonorous mur mur of the organ. And straightway the doge's niece fell to the ground in a faint. She had seen reflected in the guilty mirror, the sacrilegious mirror, not her own countenance, but that of Death. There is today in the Church of San Giorgis Maggiore, where this miracle was accomplished, the statue of a wo man, who is seated aud looking at her self in a mirror. Very beautiful is this woman, as beautiful as Ghita Glierardini was fonnerly. The story goes that this statue Is the work of a famous sculptor, but the people be lieve—and their legends contain good deal of truth—that It was once Ghita Glierardini herself aud that her body was turned Into stone by the ter rible vision. To all those who love the silence of dead cities 1 offer this legend.
