Another prisoner who escaped from the same convict station was located through much the same cause, lie bad successfully crossed Dartmoor to the railway, where he succeeded In aecretlug himself In a passing rail way truck. Exhausted by privation, Le (ill asleep and did not awaken tin .' til the wagon wua uncovered at lun unce. There he might have got off V.IU1 a reprimand as a mere tramp who had risked hlu llt'o for a 'rue ridu, but tho vehemence with which he declared his famished condlt'on aroused suspicion and he was dot lin ed pending Inquiry.

After that the game was up. I'.'it perhaps the most curious in stance of escaped convicts belr.g brought back to durance vllo owing to their appetites occurred at Park hurst, where two men evaded the vanlers one night and. helm; at liber ty, chanced upon a house where a ei-tper party had Just risen from ta ble. They found the room deserted aud sat down to what was left of the U-jt, with the recult that when they cut up to to away tney were caught Ti'.ho-.it difficulty, simply because tVy had eaten so much that they wcie incapable o( doing anything to k;vg themselves. jcjaslr.naily. of course, men get it,!v, and are taken back through other causes than those connected v.H!i need of food. Such cases are frw and far Let ween; but one occurr ed somo years n.no, when a canvlct esunped from Uorstil, near Rochester, toy getting through a skylight. From there he dropped to the ground and pro'"' hi J an'.Ue, so that he could hardly move. At daylight he was ob irrved crawling toward a wood and l-J-l;lT.-3t?d. A different fate overtook one of three who escaped from Prlncctown. f.no was shot dead, one only tot a ve-.- short distance from tue prison, while tho third successfully evaded his pursuers and reached Devonpoit, having meantlmo procured a change cf elcthos. There, while walking along the street, a dog accompanying a policeman smelt r.t his legs, and the man wp.s so "Jumpy" that he bolt ed en tho spot. The constable, his tii'pleions F.rouxed. chased and caught him, with the rcutlt that he was tak en hack whence he had come. Hut, on the whole, bolts and bars etc found less effect rrti t'.ian tho f mv cf famine, which Is probably tho reus en why the State prison of Represa, Ciil., h.'.s neither the one nor tho oth er. If a convict tries to leave there he may be ihe.t; i! ha gets off 't Is a prae'leil certainty that ha must tturvo to death. Tit-lilts. Long Tunnels.

Sicero told us Ions ago that wo should eat t live, not live to rat, and Prof. Oautior, of Paris, amp!!!!" fiat wlsi! pronoiinceti'ont In the course rf n very Interesting arti -le on "How v,'e Or.'ht to K-.t." The profersor 1". the flworn enemy of all etilltinry n-t'flei-s the object of which Is to s.i'U'!"'ate t:Tste.e::c!te the appetite and iv.'lfee it i".a-i to cat without huitiur r.r.d drl::k without t'):r:;t. These, he si-.yi. aro prfjsv'.'ek'l to the nialntenar.c: of health. When one has an appetite for pk'in bread, vegetables or me:t unmollliej by any seasonliit; then ni:J thea only can one bo said to he really hungry. Another paternal recommendation which the profesr makes Is the old advice of our gradmothers, that we should al ways leave the table with a slight sensation of hunger not entirely ap peased. It appears that we loso every day from S5 to 100 grams of albuminoids, corresponding to i'y or 5oo grams of muscular flesh or analogous tissue. An inhabitant cf Paris, for Instance, recuperates on the average to the ex tent of 102 or P3 grams a day. As a gt:ld to what we should eat tho professor tell:-) its that the best meat is that of animals fattened on pasture land beef and mutton. Then comes poultry nnd pork fed on prod ucts of a vegetable origin, whether grain or herbaceous. One should always avoid the flesh of animals fattened to excess on mus cular flesh nnd also, to a certain ex. tent, that of animals which are too young. Veal Is not ,?rood for either gouty or arthritic people. It Is not recommended for people with fragile, lmLable, eruptive skin. Fish, excellent in Itself when it Is quite fresh, is easy to digest, but It Is not suitable to eezematous persons or those who have any other skin dls ea3. Black meats' or game excite tho kidneys, predlsposo to gravel, to he. tatle congestions an I to nrterlosele. rcsls. One may live absolutely with, out meat; ono can not do without vegetable aliments. Eat with regularity and In accord ance with tho demands of huncer ;eh dishes n3 have always been regarded as Innocuous and remember that, rs a rule, It Is neither meats nor bouillon nor wino nor spices t:or coffee which poison fa, but their abuse. THE SCALE TAILED CHA3. Naturalist Schneffer Once Counted Them, and Found 1,802X04. The crab known as the scale. tailed upus was believed to have become ex tinct In Great Britain fifty years ago, the last recorded specimens being taken in the ponds ou Hampstead lleutn. But now It has turned up again in some numbers in two ponds on Preston Merse, near Southwlck, in Kirkcudbrightshire. About two and a half Inches long, the apus bears a very striking likeness to that remark able creature the king crab, and this because the (ore part of the body is covered by a great semicircular Bhield or carapace, while as In the king crub, it swims on its back. In the great number of its legs the scale, tailed apus has few rivals, while In tho uumbu' of the joints which these share between, them no other creature can compare. Tho naturalist flehaef fer once essayed tho task of countlrg them and made the magnificent to. tul o( l,S0:,0u4.- Latrellle put down the number at a round 2,000,000. O 3 O jT!
