Dae Maa Who Lived That He !HIh
aintplr Bat and Drink.
In a little yellowed Kngllsh maga
cine, dated April, 1N04, I came across
the following amusing scrap:
If the Duke of Q does not ex
tend his life to a still longer period. It
will not be for want of culinary com
forts nnd those other succulent arts
by which longevity la best promoted.
Ills grace's sustenance Is thus da!!'
administered:
"At 7 In the morning he regales In
a warm milk bath, perfumed with al
mond powder, where he takes Ills
coffee and a buttered muffin, and aft
erward retires to bed. He rises about
0 and breakfast on cafo nil ln.lt. with
new laid eggs Just parboiled; at 11 he
la presented with two warm Jellies
and rusquea; at 1 he takes a veal cut
let a la Malntenon: at 3 Jellies and
eggs repeat: at 5 a cup of chocolate
and rusques; at 7:30 he takes a hearty
dinner from high seasoned dishes, and
makes suitable libations of clnret and
madeira; at 10, ten. coffee atid muf
fins; at 12 sups off a roast poulet, with
a plentiful solution of lime punch; at
1 In the morning lie retires to bed In
high spirits and sleeps till 3, when his
man cook, to the moment, waits upon
him In person with a hot and savory
veal cutlet, which, with a potation of
wine and water, prepares him for
further repose, that continues gener
ally uninterrupted till the morning
summons to his lacteal bath.
"In this routine of living comforts
are the four and 20 hours Invariably
divided; so that If his grace doea not
know, with Sir Toby Belch, 'that our
life Is composed of four elements,' be
knows at least, with Sir Ague Cheek,
'that It consist! In eating and drink-In.-.'
' laaerttaae of Health.
There Is, It Is true, as great an In
equality In the Inheritance of health as
In the heirship of wealth or brains.
Some are born with a fortune of vigor
and. sounducss so large that not a life
time of eager squandering will leave
them poor, and others enter the world
paupers of need so dire that no charity
from medicine can ever raise them to
comfort, but most of us have Just that
mediocre legacy of vitality which ren
ders us undUtlngulshable units In the
mass. . It lies In the hands of each to
Improve or waste that property, as h
chooses, for there are self made men
physically as well as financially; those
who, because of ancestral wasteful
ness, have only sixpence of health
and turn It Into a fortune, and there
are spendthrifts of health who come
to aa sorrowful case as spendthrifts of
gold. The body is the realm where a
wise and frugal ruler brings happi
ness as surely as a foolish one Insures
distress, and wisdom ' here, as else
where, lies In learning and obeying
natural laws. North American Re

I once know a man who was con
sidered a great connoisseur In femi
nine good looks, and be annoyed me
by refusing to see any beauty in one
or two girls I considered very pretty.
At last, in mild exasperation, I turned
to htm and asked him what he
thought constituted beauty In a wo
man. He answered, "A pretty band,
a sweet voice and spirit In the eye."

Wealth begins In a tight roof that
keeps the rain and wind out; In a
good pump that yields you plenty of
sweet water; in two suits of clothes,
ao as to change your dress when you
are out; In dry sticks to burn; In a
good double wick lamp and in three
meals. Emerson.
