HUNGRY MAN'S DREAM.
An Ex-Convict Tell How Ho
Was Tortured in Sleep.
Ono of the worst evils attending
penal servitude is said to be th
hunger which assails a man with a
healthy appetite during the firs:
few months or years of his im
prisonment, says the Boston
Globe. A man who has just dono
a long term for forgery, says:
"I used to go to bed ever night
.1 1 1 T ,
pincneu oy nungor. i oegan
dreaming of banquets, and would
Lave thought nothing strange
about it had not the same droam
come to mo every night. The
banquet was always tho same, in
the same placo, and 1 always hud
tho same place at tho table.
"Thoo xasperating thinjjabout it
was that just as tho first course
was offered 1 always awoke, so
that even in my dreams 1 was not
jwrmitted to taste of tho munifi
cont spread which was nightly
prosented to me in my sleep.
"i dreaded to go to bed because
tho dreum tortured mo. It only
made me the hungrier, and I then
understood the agony of Tantalus,
the fabled hero who was tortured
with thirst, and to whoso lips the
waters were ever coming and ro
ceeding just as he was in the act
of taking a drink. "
The Secret of Health.
Don't worry.
Don't hurry. ''Too swift ar
rives as turdv as too slow."
"Simplify!" "Simplify!"
Don't overeat. Don't starve.
"Let your moderation bo known
to all men."
Court the fresh air, day and
night. "Oh, if you knew what
was in the air."
Sleep and rest abundantly.
Sleep is nature's benediction.
Spend less nervous energy each
day than you make.
Be cheerful. "A light heart
lives long."
Think only healthful thoughts.
"As man thinketh in his heart, so
he is."
"Seek peace, and pursue it."
"Work like a man, but don't
be worked to death."
Avoid passion and excitement.
A moment's anger may be fatal.
Associate with healthy people.
Health is contagious as well as
disease.
Don't carry the whole world on
your shoulders, for less tho uni
verse. Trust the eternal."
Nevor despair. "Lost hope is
a fatal disease."
"If ye know these things, happy
are ye if ye do them." Laws of

By 4,000 A. D. Only Lilliputians
Will Inhabit the Earth.
French statistician, who has
been studying the military and
other records, with a view of de
termining the height of men at
different periods, has reached some
wonderful results.
A Frenchman is naturally an
artist, even in figures. A German
might content himself with a dry
arithmetical compilation; but this
artist curries his statistics into the
eahn of history and of poetry, and
even of prophecy. He has not
only solved some perplexing prob-
.oms m regarU to the past ot the
human race, but also is enabled to
calculate its future, and to - deter
mine the exact period when man
will disappear from tiie earth.
1 lie recorded tacts extend over
nearly three centuries. It is found
that 10 10 the average height of
men was 1.75 metres, or, say 5
feet 9 inches. In 1790 it was 5
feet ii inches. In 1 S'20 it was 5 .
feet 5 inches and a fraction.
At the present time it is 5 feet
3-4 inches.
It is easv to deduce from tnose
figures a rate of regular and grad
ual decline in human stature, and
then apply this, working back
wards and forwards, to tho past
and to tho future. By this calcu
lation it is determined that the
stature of the first men attained
the surprising average of 16 feet
9 inches.
The race had already deterior
ated in the days of Og., while Gol
iath was a quite degenerate off
spring of the giants. Coming
down to later times wo find that
at tho beginning of our era the
average height of man was 9 feet,
and in the time of Charlemagne it
was 8 feet 8 inches, a fact qiiite
sufficient to account for the heroic
deeds of the Paladins. But the
most astonishing result of this
scientific study conies from the ap-
mcation of the same inexorable
aw of diminution to the future.
The calculation shows that by
the year 4,000 A. D., the stature
of the average man will bo re
duced to fifteen inches. At that
epoch there will be only .Lillipu
tians on the earth.
And the conclusion of thelearnoa
statistician is irresistible, that tho
nd of tho world will certainly
. i. ,1 -i l . j i . 1 1
arrive, tor tne miiaouanis win
have become so small that they
will finallv disappear" 'finish by
disappearing," as the French idiom
expresses it "from the torrestial
glolie. "
Latin as it is Pronounced.
A voung lady .was once talking
with a verv young and very smart
man who was inclined to air his
knowledge of the languages a
little bevond what she felt that
modesty requirutl. sue tlieroiore
saitl to him with an air of defer
ence to his suuerior attainments:
"You are a Latin scholar. 1 wish
you would tell life how to pr
nounce tho word 'so-met-i-nies.
The youth with a kindly air of
patronage.-replied. "1 have not
met tho word in my Latin reading,
but I should nave uo hesitation m
saying that it should be pronoun
ced 'so-met-i-times,' " (giving it in
four syllables, tho accent on the
second). "Thank you for telling
me," replied the girl, demurely.
"1 have always hoard it pro
nounced 'sometimes,' but if you
say the other way that must be
right."
Wasn't All in His Head.
A lawyer walked down tho
Btroot recently with his arms taxed
to hold a lot of law books. To
him a friend, pointing at the books,
said:
"Why, I thought you carried
all that stuff in your head?"
"I do," quickly replied the law
yer, with a knowing wiuic; "these
are for the judges.'
