Queer Food Fad of an Eccentric
London Physician.
A famous ana eccentric physician
of London, who flourished. 180 Years
ago, was a stout advocate of a re-
stricted diet. He held that one meal
a day was enough for anyone, and
he practised what he preached. But
that meal ! chronicler of the
time said of it :
"For over twenty years Dr. For-
dyce dined daily at Dolly's chop
Louse, near Paternoster Row. At 4
o'clock he entered and took his seat
at a table always reserved for him.
A silver tankard full of strong ale,
a bottle of port wine, and a measure
ie,ailAnt.aining a quarter of a 'pint of
brandy were instantly placed before
"The moment the waiter announc-
ed him the waiter put a pound and
a half of rump steak on the gridiron
told on the table some delicate trifle
as a bonne bouche to serve enitil the
steak was. ready. This morsel was
sometunes half a broiled chicken,
sometimes a plaSe of fish. When he
had eaten this the- doctor took one
glass of • brandy, and then proceeded
to devour his steak.
e"When he hied finished his meat h
took the remainder of his bran(1y.
*He drank the ale during his dinner.)
Be then took his bottle of port. fie
thus spent daily an hour and a half
and then returned to his house in
Essex street to give his 6 o'clock
lecture on chemistry. 1 -Te made ,no
other Meal until his return next day
at 4 o'clock to Dolly's."

struggle .to reach the •beleamirec

1.V.HY YOU :HAVE A NOSE.
Very few people know how to
,
breath properly and those that clo
know seldom do it. Oxygen is the
one indispensable thine for the main-
tenance • of health anc?life, and• the
only way we.get it is by breathing
it in the air. We must breathe in
the right 'Way, nowevere not only to
get ,the necessary' supply of oxygen,
but to keep out certain impurities
that either bring ,diseases directly or
prepare the system to fall an 'easy
vietim to them. The Mostimport-
ant thing, perha.ps, is to form the
habit of breathing through the nos-
trils. The air should be ,inade of
nearly the same temperature as the
blood before it is taken into the
lungs, nnd its passage over the, net-
work of blood vesSels in the milccrus
membrane ,ef the nasal canals gives
it the ilecessalty: heat. Besides; the
air always Contains dust particles,
and, if we breathe it in through "the
Mouth we run the ris.k of the irrita-
tion and iafection, that such parti-
cles often 'produce, breathing
through the nostrils, on the con-
trary, we draw in the air gently,
along a systent of winding canals,.

• WOVEN RAO RUGS.
If you have a rag bag auid some
taste in combining colors, you can
have rugs almost as artistic as the
famous Royeroft rugs, says the Lad-
ies', 'World.
Get out all the pieces you have no
use for—cotton, silk, velvet aud
woolen. Cut them. Into strips three-
fourths of an inch wide and any
length that they may happen to be.
Sew them neatly together, wind into
balls, allowing two pounds of rags
to a yard of rug, and then select
your warp and instruct your weaadsr
as to the way you want it woven.
It may be loose or light in weave,
and the warp can be close or far.
apart as you like, and of any one
color or several arranged -in stripes
A very pretty way is to have the
centre of the rug made "hit or miss"
that is, with a variety of colors well
mixed, and the end's of one color or'
of two or three arranged in stripes.
An old blue calico torn into strips
and sewed up makes a good stripe
for the ends.
The only objection 1,0 the rag rug
is that it is light in weight and eas-
ily "kicked up." This may be re-
medied by making two rugs exaetly
the same length and putting them to-
gether by *hipping the edges witIt
heavy black thread. Thesa wonld

to take" away the slight odor of soap
that often is noticeable. In using
slip under the pile of each article the
sheets, cases and towels latest from
the laundry. In this way they all
get, the same amount of wear. After
ironing, and before, putting away,
each piece should be looked over for
