In fact, the physiology of nutrition has now been brought almost to the condi- l ety. tion of an exact science, so far as What takes place in a healthy individual is concerned. Under a normal state of affairs it never occurs to one, when he is hungry, to calcu- late the relative pro rtions of alburninoids, carbo-hydrates, an hydro-carbons in the dishes before him. Instinct teaches him to so regulate his appetite as to ads t the sup- ply to the physiological deman . This is what the lower animals do, and it is what we do when, as Herbert Spencer says, “we are in perfect harmony with our environ- ments.’ Here is the trouble. Our physiological organism is out of tune with the concert- pitch which characterizes the requirements of modern business and pleasure, and we feel confident that our readers will bear us out in the statement, that one of the first evidences to affect the color of the soldier’s dress, sub- of this discord will be manifest in the di- doing it in tone, and so depriving the battle- _u Ah l my poem seems to affect gcstive organs. Right now, if we are on ,thealert, subsequent serious and fatal de- generation can be averted. The manifesta- tions of derangement are generally flatu- lence, a sense of weight in the stomach, gastrodynia, palpitation, nausea, constipa- tion, dizziness, hypochondria, and many other familiar symptoms. ,The books classify these features into a variety of forms :â€" nervous, atonic, and acute dyspepsia; but we doubt whether any such arrangement would modify the dietetic treatment. To comprehend these symptoms it is necessary, of course, thatthe physician should be famil- iar with the physiology of digestion, and of the chemical characters of the various classes of food,â€"that sugars, fats, and starches, by means of organisms swallowed with them, are all fermentable and convertible into ir- ritable gases and ichorous acids, which not only distress by their physical presence, but hinder the normal process by their chemical properties. A patient presenting such symp- toms should immediately be put upon a no.- tural plan of living. It will not do to put him off with general instructions to eat and drink “ what agrees with him.” The general cat~ arrlral conditions of his mucous membranes, of which he now complains so much, can be best cured by copious draughts of hot water before meals. Antiseptic and astring- ent sprays to the upper air passe es may be necessary, but our experience an belief are, that the whole track will clear up when physiological life is resumed. \Vashing out the stomach is rarely called for, except in ex- treme cases, Then the diet should be strictly according . pay in u. smokeless Combat, enter rise and to the following table :â€" iuv TAKE.

The ship, he said will start from the place of its manufacture at Mount Carmel and travel to St Louis, a to some distance of lSa'imiles. From St. Louis it will sail up to Chicago of his adventures while hunting in Halibur- and from thereto New York. Mr. Penning- ton: “ I was pusliinghalung in the canoe l ton and his associate, Mr. R. H. Butlcr,pro- withlmy guide, John ruurn, when through i the mists of the morning I spied directly in i se to make the trip, taking with them a alf dozen newspa er representatives and front of us, perhaps a quarter of a mile off, lany of the stockhol ers who wish to accom- swunmmg towards the shore. As we knew there were some English gentlemen camp- ing in the neighborhood who had lest dogs I presumed these animals were they. My guide soon discovered the truth and whispered to me excitedly: “ There is a pack of wolves.” He was in the stern of the canoe steering, and I was in the bow. In the centre were two hounds of our own, who upon scentiug the wolves became so terror-stricken that we could barely prevent them from leaping into , the water. As it was, they nearly upset the , canoe in their efforts to esca e. The guide there was a bounty of $6 a piece, or 3‘24 for the four, which the Dominion Government paid. He told me that he wanted to get a new cooking range, of which his family stood badly in need, and the $24 would go a long way towards procuring it. I said to him I will see that you get the money, if you let me have the sport and do the shooting. So be lowered his rifle and 'l I drew a. head on the foremost of the wolves. I h ad a little Ballard rifle with which I had shot an alligator on a trip to Florida and i which I could implicitly trust. By this time we had come very closeto the wolves. They were near the shore, and already had begun l to feel their feet upon the sand. W'e imme- - diately pushed in between them and the land. We saw the hair bristle upon their backs. Their eyes began to sparkle with resentment, and their white fangs glistened as they snarled with rage at our intrusion. ' They were just about to leap into the canoe as I pulled the tiggcr with steady aim and had the satisfaction of keeling over the lar '- est of the group. This unexpected attac . bad a very demoralizing effect upon the other 5 three, which were seized with panic, and er, am I had ample opportunity to pick them off, one by one, in a good deal less time than it takes to tell the story. We then proceeded to gather up the spoils, and as we arrived at each of the carcasses I leaned over and grasped them by the brick of the I neck ; then my guide paddled to the shore, ' I towing in each hand two wolves, grasping ! more fur and ferocity than comes to the lot {of most men to bag in five minutes’ shunt- ! ingln The Widest Spoken Tongue is English!

In the United Kingdom, in the United .

It is, more- . over, the official tongue of India, where the knowledge of it is daily spreading among the 260 millions. It is the language of in- ternational commerce of China and Japan, and the language, also, of the high seas, being spoken in every maritime port on earth. It has the greatest literature, and more than half of the entire world's news- . paper press is printed in it.

The British East Africa Company has at last closed its large territory to sportsmen. After Joseph Thomson described the won- derful game i'e ion on the hi h plateaus around Maimt {ilima-Njaro, itiecame the fashion for lovers of sport who could afford it to visit that couiitr and put in a few months hunting the ele hant, rhinoceros, and other large game. Even the Russians participated to some extent, and a few of our own hunters have 'visited this part of Africa and returned with many tro liies. When Stanle last emerged rom the Dark Continent he joined his rotest to that of others against this wholesa e slaughter of East Africa game. He said these animals would be needed for. the nourishment of thousands of workmen who would soon be building a railroad to Victoria Nyanza, or carryin out other large enterprises. The Tit-st Africa Company has decided now that some efi'orts must be made to ro- tect large game against wholesale slang ter by European lovers of sport. It has therefore closed its territory to these hunters, and they must find some other field for the exercise of their proficiency. Of course, only wealthy men have been able to indulge in these adventures, for a visit to the vame country involves the equipment of u urge party, including many natives, and a few months there involves expenditure of at l least several thousands of dollars. _ The restriction upon shooting in this re- ? gion has come none too soon. Hunters were killing without airy discrimination ever - J ohnnyâ€"M r.
