Do We Eat Too Much?
When Ur. Lorenz lias not been en-
gaged professionally his time seems
to have been occupied with submitting

tpiets Ills professional services are
performed with enthusiasm because
ids heart is in his work. He submits
to the snap shots with the utmost
(paid hufnor, likewise to the Inter-
view, which he reeognlz.es as an Amer-
ican practice to which he Is now fully
accustomed. As to the banquets, that
Is another story.
Upon tie- eve of leaving Baltimore
for DhUadcIphlh the dot-tor In an In
tirvlew remarked that lie was hearti-
ly weary of 111- banquets he had to
endure with their endless variety of
foods. Being a man of simple tastes,
lie liked plain, simple, solid food. "Do
not think," said he, "that I anr in-
sensible to the great good will which
your hnspllality Illustrates But so
much eating! Why, It. is wonderful!
It Is extraordinary!"
I mpicKiioiinMy Americans are too
much gheii to eating. So are Brit-
iiliis. Ho are Dr. Lorenz’ own country-
men, for. as to eating and drinking,
a German kommerz, Is prodigious as
compand with an American banquet,

with the Latin and other southern na-

Htlll.it ean not he denied that many
of our feasts are Gargantuan: that
as u rule we eat too much and loo
often: and that our chief way of ex
pressing our hospitality Is In lovlshly
feeding our friends. It Is not alone
the public Immpict which we give the
distinguished guest, which sometimes
he wrestles with successfully, as did
I’rlnce Henry, and sometimes unsuc-
cessfully. as did the Grand Duke
Boris. The private banquets go on
like the brook, "forever." Society
must have Its refreshments upon every
occasion Ministers get together to
discuss theological affairs and imme-
diately proceed.to eat. Women's clubs
meet to listen to a paper upon some
Important or unimportant subject, and

The birthday, the wedding day, the
funeral day. each must have Hh np-

not be fittingly celebrated without
sumptuous spreads. Perhaps there Is
no way of reforming our eating hah

The Congressman's Luncheon.

Uptown there Is a dairy lunchroom
which Is much frequented by states-
men making a round of the depait-

business men and lesser officials. It
Is n.homely sort of a place where the
guest helps himself to plo and sand

eats If the few chairs are full. Then
the customer marches up to the coun-
ter himself and states the price of
his luncheon, ns the attendants do
not have time to keep track of it. The
proprietors says they do not lose 50

f By a Banker.)
Let us for a moment venture into
the realm of imagination, and picture
to our minds the possibility of shak-
ing off for a short time our earth-
trammels, bounding into the ether,
and visiting some of the wonders of
the universes.
We first take a passing glance at
our own satellite, which though a
dead world is yet so beautiful in death
and to us surpassingly lovely. But
on near approach we see it Is a wild,
stony, burnt, up desert, devastated by
stupendous volcanoes, so vast that
Into one only of those numerous, im-
mense craters the whole of the craters
of all the volcanoes on this earth
might be plunged. What a weird spec-
tacle, must have been presented by an
eruption of Copernicus or Schickard;
many thousand square miles of
mighty roaring flames belched forth,
while veritable means of molten lava of the shopper.
SINS OF SHOPPERS.
A British Lecturer Instructs Chicago
Women in the Ethics of Buying.
“The Sins of the Shopper" might
well have been the topic Of the lect-
ure delivered Monday by Mrs. Percy
Widdrington, but she chose to classify
her remarks under the more generous
title of "The Ethics of Shopping."
Mrs. Widdrington, who is the lect-
urer of the Fabian club of London,
spoke before the Society of Ethical
Culture in Steinway hall.
“Women should not go Into stores
and turn over articles on the counters
uml compare prices with no intention
of buying," she said. "It only dis-
tracts the attention of the clerks from
those women who really wish to buy.
"Nor should women worry the sales-
women by an Imperious air or other
discourtesy or by compelling them to
show goods just to satisfy the whims
WATTS’ "LOVE AND LIFE.”
What Washington Thinks of Its Re-
moval to the White House.
While there Is no local discussion
of the objections made by the Woman's
Christian Temperance union to the
painting of Sir Frederick Watts,
"Love and Life," which was recently
taken from the Corcoran gallery to
the White House, there Is a general
feeling In Washington that the public
Inis been deprived of a great work of
art. which should hang In a public
gallery and not In a private room In
the executive mansion
The object of the Womans Chris-
tian Temperance union eight years ago
to the picture was that the figures are
nude or nearly sd.
This to the prurient mind Is no
dougt a mi 111 dent ground for objec-
tion. But to lovers of art and those
accustomed to pine and uplifting ex
presslons of allegory there Is nothing
wrong in “Love and Life.”
It Is a subject conceived In the
purest and simplest form, and few jter
sons lunging at the picture have any-
thing Init a profmtnd reverence for the
iirtisUe messing - • m, ... *«
There has I® on practically no crit-
icism of the picture from the Woman's
Christian Temperance union or from
any other source since the canvas was
placed in the gallery.
Colonel Bingham, superintendent of
public buildings ami grounds, who had
the painting transferred to the White
House at Mrs. Roosevelt’s request, said
that as “Love and Life" is a govern-
ment picture, and was only loaned to
the Corcoran gallery, there was noth-
ing unusual In having It. sent, hack to
the White House.
He regarded Its previous exclusion
as a matter of personal preference en-
tirely, and not of judgment of Its ar-
tistic merits.
“ I he public has seen it for seven
years now," said Colonel Bingham,
"awl I don't see any reason why -criti-
cism should be made on its removal.
L was sent to the White House hy the
artist himself, and no\v it has gone
hack there.' New York Times.
Boston Is Typical.
To be sick and to be poor at the
same time represents the most pltiu-
h'.e condition that can result from
earthly troubles, and Boston. It ap
pears, has more people who know from
experience all the bitterness of it than
for several years past. What a mock-
ery to them all these preparations for
a merry Christmas must seem! If
It were not for what the Salvation
Army and various charitable organiza-
tions are planning for them, the day
would be for them one of hatred and
bitterness toward society. But sun-
dry baskets, laden with good things,
are sent to may families, and many
families, and Christmas dinners on
a large scale were served to many
children, so that some ray of the
Christmas tight and cheer fell across
their paths. Every dollar contributed
to one of these charitable agencies
means an extension of the list of those
who are to receive their one bit of
brightness from them. Which little re
minder is worth taking to heart by
those who are generously inclined,
but do not know iu just which direc-
tion to turn to do a hit of Christmas
good.
are ejected from the blazing caldron.
But we must. not. linger here, for
far more startling sights are in store.
Not pausing even to bestow more than
a momentary glimpse at our neighbor,
ruddy Mars, with Its, as we believe,
wonderful system of Irrigation and
its teeming industrious population of
belngH like ourselves, we hasten on
with the speed of thought to visit the
mighty orb which controls our sys-
tem. And now we are veritably as-
tounded and terror-stricken at its
overpowering and effulgent magnifi-
cence, and awe-inspiring grandeur. A
vast infuriate furnace of raging fires;
flame wldly contending with flame;
now an outburst of burning hydrogen
thousands of miles in breadths flam-
ing half a million miles from the
sun's surface; now whole continents
of incandescent metals mingled with
burning sulphur, hurled In frenzy to
and fro in the blazing hypocaust; and
now. with a roar so terrible that it is
strange that it does not reach the
earth, profound, unfathonable abysses
rent in the transplendent surface, so
tremendous that many globes of the
size of our planet might tie rolled into
the yawning gulf.
Reluctantly leaving this bewildering
spectacle, long ere we could grasp its
majesty and its prodigious grandeur,
and leaving the wonders of our sys-
tem for another time, we vault up-
ward to some of the constellations In
our own universe. Here, In the Ser-
pi nt. we see a mighty flaming sun of
bright, vivid, azure tint, which on
nearer approach Is seen to be similar
in character to our own sun; though
Its superbly beautiful tires are a glo-
rious and brilliant blue. Here In
dromeda two neighboring suns a
dear and beautiful emerald green,
while In close proximity is a great
glowing orb which is ever blazing
with a lustrous orance-red tint. And
lastly, as the . allotted spun of our
ether-voyage is nearly run out
speed on to the great Southern Cross,
and find that the whole heavens are
gemmed with magnificent suns of all
manner of vivid hues, as though each
one were formed of a mighty corus-
cating precious stone; some a ruby,
seme a sapphire, some an emerald;
others a tire-opal, or an amethyisl, or
a topaz; the whole scintillating in a
many-hued Hashing glory.
And as once more we resume our
earth-bonds, we look forward with
more intensified desire to the time
when, emancipated from those tram-
mels, we ean range at will through
the great universe of God. How fat-
uous the folly of those who, forgetting
him. or persistently disobeying Him,
and refusing the intercession of the
Savior of the world, will, instead, be
exiled in darkness.
“This Is all sinful and I would add
that it Is just as wrong to leave your
shopping to the last moment and then
add to the crush about the counters.”
The audience was mostly composed
of women, who evinced much Interest
in the lecturer's remarks, but this in-
terest deepened into a sort of dismay
when the Englishwoman continued;
“We have no right to buy goods at
any store unless we know under what
conditions those goods were manufac-
tured. They may have come from
swealshops, where hundreds of mites
of children toll through the weary
hours when the should be sleeping.
They may have been stitched and cut
and hemmed In rooms heavy with a
vile atmosphere, devoid of sanitation
and breeding manifold diseases.
“When you buy such goods you are
Immoral—as immoral as more direct
sinners—for you encourage the con-
tinuance of such conditions, you help
maintain a high death rate, you help
breed sickness, you make it necessary
to pay yearly larger amounts for po-
lice protection against crime and' for
inspectors of the public health.
"If wo are to hope to improve the
race, you women must practice moral
buying, as you would moral living.”—

MR. SMITH GIVEN AWAY.
Quiet Little Dinner Betrayed by the
Barker of a Restaurant.
The energetic barker who stands nt |
the door of a French- restaurant up-
town was so zealous the other night
that the establishment has lost a ilh-
An-1 eral patron. The man’s duty is to
direct arriving guests to the different
parts of the house. Last week a gen-
tleman was giving a dinner there to
some friends. None of his guests had
been told to bring their friends, and,
as it was Sunday, members of the
we I theatrical profession were present at
the dinner It may, indeed, have been
that the day was selected for them.
At. the door the customary Sunday
night crowd clamored amt growled
for tables that were not to bo had.
Above their complaints could be hoard
the voice of the doorman calling out
as every particularly striking looking
group entered: "Mr. Smith’s party in
a private room on the second floor.”
Mr. Smith, who had gone upstairs
early and told the doorman to send
his friends up, heard none of this until
they began to arrive. But he has
heard a great deal of it since. Most
of the men who know him seem
He Did Not Know Coler.
Governor Odell and his defeated
rival. Bird S. Colon, met recently al
the Fifth Avenue hotel for the first
time since the election. Their meet-
ing was preceded by an amusing cir-
cumstance. Mr. Coler dined at the
Fifth Avenue with a friend, and when
he emerged from the < afe he was in-
troduced hy his friend to ex-Senator
Hobart Krum Of Schoharie,
"Why, howdy do. Mr. Fuller," said
Senator Kruni. who did not catch the
name. “Um glad to meet you.”
“I met you a number of times in Al-
bany, senator," said Mr. Coler, ignor-
ing the fact that Senator Krum had
miscalled his name.
"Oh, yes.” responded the senator, "I
remember you very well."
"And 1 met you up in Schoharie
county." said Mr, Coler. "1 used to
swim in the streams in Schoharie
county."
"Oh. vcR." said the senator. "I recall
you. Mr Fuller, from the time you
were no higger than that." indicating
about three fi«t with his outstretched
arm.
"But my name Isn't Fuller, it's
Coler. and I had an idea I ran for gov-
ernor a short time ago," said Mr. Coler
with a slight show of annoyance.
