HYGIENE. I cannot eat but little meat, Ry microbes it is spoiled; And sure I think I cannot drink, Save water that is boiled; And I'll endure low temperature, Since by the doctors told That to live long and keep us strong ‘Tis better to be cold. So let bacteria scourge and scare, With ailments manifold, To do us good we'll eat no food, And keep our bodies cold. I love no roast except dry toast, And that at stated terms; And little bread I eat, in dread Of pathogenic germs; Of milk no whit I take, lest it Zymotic ills enfold, And fevers breed; yet most I heed To keep my body cold. A keen east wind I never mind, And fifty Fahrenheit Is the degree that best s By day and eke by night; Thus wise I strive to keep alive, And haply to grow old, With beef uncarved, athirst and starved, And perished with the cold. he Poems of H.C. Banner, That First Affair. Nancy Noon. So let bacteria scourge and scare, With ailments manifold, To do us good we'll eat no food, And keep our bodies cold. —St. James's Gazette, THat stoy of a Caribou potato raiser who refused an offer of 48 cents a barrel for eleven barrels of potatoes, declaring that he would have $5 or nothing for the load, is matched by a yarn that comes from Grand Lake Stream of aman who recently went after a calf that he had pas- tured out all summer, and asked what he owed for the pasturin “Well,” said the farmer, “I’ve gota bill of $7 against you, but I will take the calf and call it settled, provided you are willing.” No, sir,” was the answer, 1 will not do that; but I will tell you what I will do. You keep the calf two weeks longer and you can have her.""—Lewéston (Me.) Journal. Margaret Richelieu; Brownin, The Real Palladia. York: The Jack. Ensor. AN evangelist who lives in the mission is so devout that he never permits himself to think a secular thought, and his tongue cannot frame a worldly word, The sal- vation of souls in peril is his single thought, his sole occupation. The evangelist has a very bright little daughter, five years of age. The other day she answered the door-bell and found the coal man there with a bill. “Papa is not home,” she informed him, ‘but if you will come in, you poor, perishing soul, mamma will pray for you."—San Francisco Post.
