Premature Pyepepala la na of the Mnat Trying Fcaturea of tTnmarrleit l.tos rhyalrallv and Intellectually ITi Im prove With Companionship. At a time like the present, when the marrying ago of the average man of the middle classes Is being more and more postponed, the physical Ills of bachelordom come Increasingly under the notice of the medical man. It Is not good for man or womnn to live atone. Indeed, It bus been well said that for solitude to be successful a man must be either angel or devil. This refers, perhaps, mainly to the moral aspects of Isolation, and with these we have now no concern. There are certain physical Ills, how ever, which aro not the least among the disadvantages of loneliness. Of these there is ninny a clerk In London, many n young bnrrlster, vising, per haps, but not yet far euough risen, many n business mnn or Journalist who will say that one of the most trying features of bis tinmniTled life Is to hnve to ent nlone. And n prcmn ture dyspepsia is the only thing tlint ever takes him to bis medical man. There are some few happily disposed Individuals who can dine olone and not ent too fast, nor too much nor too little. With the majority It Is differ ent. The average man I'Uts his novel or Ills paper before him nnd thinks that ho will lengtlieu nut the lyenl with due deliberation with reading n little with, nnd more between, the courses. He will Just employ his mind enough to help, nnd too little to Interfere with digestion. In fact, be will provide that gentle mental ac companiment which with happier peo ple conversation gives to a meal. This is your solitary's excellent Idea. Iu reality ho becomes engrossed In what he is reading till suddenly find ing his chop cold be demolishes It In n few mohthfuls; or else he tlnds that he Is hungry and paying no attention to the book, which he flings aside,, he rushes through his food as fast as possible, to plunge lut,o his armchair and literature afterward. In either case the lonely mnn must digest at n disadvantage. For due nnd easy nu trition food should be slowly taken nnd the mind should not bo intensely exercised during the process. Every one knows that violent bodily exercise Is bad just after a meal, and mental exertion is equally so. Wise people do not even argue dur ing or Just after dinner, nnd observa tion of after-dinner speeches will con- flnce any one that most speakers nelth- er endure themselves nor excite In their bearers any Bcvere Intellectual effort. In fact, the experience of countless generations, from the red Indian of the woods to the whlto-shlrted diners of a modern party, has perpetuated the lesson that a man shonld not ent alone, nor thluk much at this time, but should talk and be talked to while he feeds. Most people do not -.hlnit much when they talk, nnd talking Is a natural accompaniment of eating and drinking. What does It fare with the mary solitary women of to-dny? No better, we know, than with tho men, but dif ferently. Alone or not a man may gen er'v be trusted nt any rate to take rood enough. (We suppose, of course, that he can get It.) With a woman It Is different. 8ho Is more emotional, more Imaginative, and less Inclined to realize the gross necessities of exist ence. Therefore,' the woman (loomed to dine nlono as oftcu as not does not dine nt nil. She gets dyspepsia be cause her digestion has not sutlielent practice, n mnn gets It because his functions prnctlco it too often In tho wrong way. Worst of nil, perhaps. Is tUe case of the solitary cook. In tho myrluds of smnll Hats In London there nr thous ands of women "doing" for their soil tary masters or mistresses. Theso women, whose main occupation Is to prepare food for others, tlnd It impos sible to cujoy, or even to take, food themselves. As confectioners are sold to give their -apprentices a free run of the stock of the shop for the first few dnys. knowing that it will effectu ally cure appetite afterward, so the women who are always occupied with buying and preparing food grow un able to uso It for themselves. Theso pcoplo suffer from dyspepslu, which is cured if somebody else manages their kitchen for a week, allowing them to take meals without preparlug them. It needs no moralist to declare the evils of solitariness. Man and woman is a gregarious animal. Physically nnd Intellectually wo Improve with com panionship. Certnluly it is not good to eat and to drink alone. It is a sad fact of our big cities that they hold hundreds of men and women who in the day are too busy and at night too lonely to feed with profit, much less with any pleasure. Tlio Lancet.

Tho Science of Yawning. Perhaps you think there Is no science of yawning, or In yawning, but you nro very much In error If you do. The doctors say that It Is n very beneficial exercise to any ono thnt is suffering from nnsnl ratnrrtt, sore throat. Inflam mation of the palate or earache. As a matter of fact yawning gives exercise to muscles thnt never get It In any other way. The muscles that move the lower Jaw, and the breathing muscles of the chest, are tho first ones thnt come Into piny; then the tongue is rounded and arched. the pnlnto Is tight ly stretched nnd the uvula Is raised. Townrd the termination of the yawn the eyes genernlly close together tight ly, the cars are slightly raised, nnd tho- uostrlls dilate. The crack some times heard In the enr proves thnt the nurnl mei.ibrnnces are nlso stretched and exercised, which can lie done only by a yawn. Of course. It Is bad form to yawn In public, but no conventionality forbids your -taking hnlf a dozen good ones every dny In private, nnd If the doc tors know what they are talking about you will find the exercise very benefi cial. Philadelphia Record. , Told to tho Rabies of Jnpa.ni Once upon a time there was n crab who lived In a hole on the shady side of a bill. One dny ho found a bit of rice-cake. A moukey who wns Just rmlshlng a persimmon met the crnb, nnd offered to exchange Its seed for the rice cracknel. The slmplc-mlndnd crnb accept 1 the proposal, and tho exchange wnj made. Tho monkey ate the rice enke, but the crab backed off home and planted tho seed In bis gar den. A fine tree grew up, nnd tjie crab wns delight d at the promiect of soon enjoying tho luscious fruit. Ho built n nice new 1 tuse, nnd used to sit on the bnlcony, wntchlng the ripening per Simmons, one day the monkey enmo along, nnd, being hungry, congratulat ed tho crab on his fine tree, nnd begged for some of the fruit, offering to climb nnd gather it himself. Tho crnb politely agreed, requesting his guest to thrown down some of tho fruit thnt he might enjoy It himself. The ungrateful rnscnl of n monkey clnmbered up, nnd, nfter filling his pockets, nto the ripest fruit as fust as he could, pelting the crab with the seeds. The crnb now determined to outwit tho monkey, nnd, pretending to enjoy the Insults ns good jokes, ho dared the monkey to show bis skill. If be could, by descending head fore most. The monkey, to show bow ver satile were bis accomplishments, ac cepted the friendly chnllenge, nnd turning flank not tnll for Jnpnnesj monkeys have no tails he began to come down head foremost. Of course, all the persimmons rolled out of his pockets. The crnb, seizing tho r'pe fruit, ran off to his hole. The monkey, waiting till he hnd crawled out, gave him a sound thrashing and went home. Just nt that time a rice mortar was traveling by with his sev eral apprentices, a wasp, an egg and a sea-weed. After bearing tho crab's story they agreed to assist hjm. March ing to the monkey's bouse, and finding him out, they arranged their plans nnd disposed their forces so as to van quish their foe on bis return. The egg bid In the ashes oh the hearth, the wasp In the closet, the! sen-weed near the door, and the mortar over the lin tel. When the monkey camo home ho lighted a fire to steep bis tea, when the egg burst, and so bespattered Ills face that he ran bowling away to the well for water to cool tho pain.' Then the wasp flew out and stung him. In trying to drive off this fresh enemy, be allpped on the sea-weed, and the rice-mortar, falling on him, crushed him to death. WasVt that splendid? (The wasp and the mortar and seaweed lived happily together ever afterward. -Chicago Becord-Berald. r.-VW SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Though nominally of 0000 horse-power, when ocennlou demands, It can deliver 10.500 horse-power. The whole engine weighs more than 1,500, 000 pounds and stnuds twenty-seven feet high. Tho fly-wheel Is twenty three feet in diameter, and the main shaft, measuring from twenty-six to twenty-nine and a half Inches In di ameter, weighs iati.000 pounds.

With a view to preventing accidents ft level crossings acd collisions In the neighborhood of railway stations a very Ingenious mechanism has recent ly been tried In France. It consists essentially of a- liugo hook, or catch, nado of iron, which is connected with a lever ct the station by means of a wire, through which a current of elec U'lcity passes. When It Is lying iu its place tin train passes over it quite eatliy, but &3 soon as it is raised it catches a lever which Is attached to tho engine. The lover thus caught causej au air valve on the engine to open automatically and applies the brakes at once so that the wholo train Is brought to a standstill within a very short distance.
