Englishmen^ Eat Much,
| i but Few Put Oh Fat
! The English are the leanest race in
the world; one, seldom sees a fat Eng-
lishman, yet many of them eat four
square meals every day, writes Wil-
liam Lyon Phelps in Scribner’s Maga-
zine. And when you do see a fat
TflngijBhmfln you will find that he e&r-
ries fi& weight remarkably Well.
George Santayana told me a new
Utory of the famous Oscar Browning,
of King’s college, Cambridge. He ate
jtoeven meals a day. There ate persons
who wake up in the middle of the
night and cannot fall asleep again un-
til they have eaten something. But O.
B. set his alarm clock at three In the
morning in order that he might wake
and eat a herring !
Then at seven o’clock tea and Parl-
ous eatables were brought to his bed-
aide. His third meal was breakfast
iat nine, and it was a substantial re
past. Be then ate nothing till lunch.
|but he took care to make up for his
•prolonged fast. His fifth meal came
at 4:30 and was high tea, with plenty
of food. He then ate nothing till din
ner, which was a very elaborate af
fair, in many courses and with a va
riety of wines. His seventh and last
meal was a hearty supper, which he
took just before going to bed. He lived
to be eighty-three.
But what it eighty-three? An Eng-
lish admiral at the age of ninety-two
took a long walk with some friendg,
and, apologizing for his slowness, he
cried: “Oh, If I were only eighty
again V*
Use a Fork Now
Gone is the generous lake of juice
In which vegetables used to be served.
Gone are the funny little fleets of
“side dishes” that used to find harbor
near our dinner plates. Gone, there-
fore, is the necessity for the question,
When we eat vegetables, shall we
use a fork or a spoon?” For now-
adays vegetables are usually aerved
With no juice, and are served on'the
dinner plate, either in combination (as
a ^vegetable luncheon or dinner) or
with the meat. And then, of course,
we use the fork, or the knife and
fork, If we have adopted the European
way of eating. We should always use
forks, too, for asparagus—not fingers,
for it really is too “drippy.”—Mrs
Alexander King in Delineator.
Breaking It Gently
There came a hurried knock at the
door and a voice made itself heard
through the letter box.
“Open up, Mrs. O’Malley—open up!”
Mrs. O’Malley opened the door
quickly. On the steps stood her
neighbor, crying softly.
“Oi’ve come to tell ye yer 'usband
has met with an accident, Mrs. O’Mal-
ley,” she wailed sadly.
“Ah, to be sure, an’ phwat Is at
now?” cried the other, anxiously.
“Oeb, the poor man was overcome
by the heat, darlin’.”
“The heat?”
“Yis, yis,” returned the bearer of
the news earnestly. “Your man fell
into the furnace o’ the foundry.”—
London Answers.
Over the entrances to certain en
campments of the American marines
Is a sign which reads—“If you don’t
listen, you’ll get killed.” But this
warning did not originate with the
marines, says the American Maga-
zine, which explains: “It is really the
life code of all wild things in nature.
With them, to obey is to live, tlnd to
disobey is to die. Almost daily, wild
creatures are called upon to make life-
and-death choices, and they usually
choose with celerity and dispatch.
Reason and natural laws go hand in
hand, and to violate a law of nature
is always to defy reason.”

Power of Colors
1 Advertising men know a great deal
shout color psychology. Purple and
iroyal blue lend an air of aristocracy
;to printed matter. That Is why you
often find expensive automobiles or
Ihlgh-priced securities presented to
(prospective buyers In elaborate cir-
culars printed In these colors and in
gold, which Is also aristocratic. Red,
!the advertising men say, Is a selling
color. It has a tendency to excite
the acquisitive Instinct in men and
women. Candles In red boxes sell
iitrest. Expensive perfumes sell mar-
purplti goMiCutf >"t m
itainers. A very red dress on a beau-
tiful young woman will often bring
|the proposal that was withheld for
months when more quiet colors were
Sworn, these advertising experts, all
men, tell us.—Capper’s Weekly,
Links With the Past
Several interesting relics of the fa-
mous Boar’s Head tavern are to be
found in the Church of St. Magnus
the Martyr, Lower Threadneedle
street, London.
They date back to 1831 and Include
an antique drinking goblet known as
the “Fa 1st a ff cup,” and the big tobno
co box that so excited the admiration
of Washington Irving, as recorded in
his “Sketch Book.” The latter has its _
cover decorated with a picture of the lii.siiBllliBHnBlillBiiiiBliiWltHBiiiMliiWtriiKi^flirii’BiilfiV’W;: BiU!Bi1WitpittH«rW!lWW;i>:B|ii>aBIKiMiy!ii
old inri ;.nd a company carousing, two
of the chairs being inscribed with the
names of Prince Hal and Falstnff. An
Inscription records that the box was
used at the vestry meetings at the
Boar's Head.

Apparently Mr. Coolidge withstood
the burdens of the Presidency better
tnan any man who has preceded him
in that office. He seems to have
aged very ltttle in the last seven
ypars, judging by his published photo-
graps taken just before and just af-
ter his term of service.

Insunny times keep making hay
For it may rain most any day.
The farmer who lets his hay lay down
While he flivvers about or goes to town
Will very likely be out of feed
And try to borrow what he may need.
Always push your work, whatever you do
Instead of letting your work push you.

gard
