It makes me shudder.” “Yes, sir,” repeated the first healthy man. “A cold bath—just as the water runs, mind you— and then a light breakfast of milk and toast. After breakfast I walk five miles in very light dothes; in fact, I never wear an overcoat all winter. For dinner I eat a chop, and after dinner another walk of five miles. In the evening I have a pain supper and am in bed by ten. I don’t dnak and don’t smoke.” , “Well,” said the second healthy man, “that wouldn't suit meatall. I lieabed as long as I can inthe moming. Then I get up, dress ina warm room, so as to be thoroughly comfortable; eat a hearty breakfast of buckwheat cakes, fishballs and coffee, and ride to business—for I never walk or take any exercise if I can help it. At noon I ata big luncheon, and at night I get outside of a six-course dinner. I smoke ten cigars a day and drink what I please.” The first healthy man looked at him in amazement. “How, then,” he exclaimed, “do you account for the fact that we are both so blamed healthy?” “Tt must be,” said the second healthy man, as be lighted another cigar, “because each of us does what he pleases, in spite of the other.” Tom Masson.

For luncheon a small cutlet; then more walk ig. In the evening @ square meal, and to bed at 10 P.at, I neither smoke nor drink. Secoxn S. I.: Very well. I do exactly the opposite.
