The ripest thought, the most consummate wisdom, the lest solid productione of the brain, must have healthy nutrition as their basis. Thought is made oat of something, and a portion of that something is food. How food is converted into nerve force, and that refined still further into intangible mental action, ceaselessly and beautifully, day and night, through the long years of our mortal existence, none can tell. It would take a higher order of beings to See and understand the delicate mechamem by means of which the warp and woof of mind or soul are woven. We look with awe 'won the result ; but the most ignorant among us can see just as much as the most learned. Nature is a cun- ning chemist, and her secret laboratory is impenetrable. Issuing from it are protium tiens tif ravishing beauty or repulsive de- formity. The quality depends both on the materials given her to -flee, and the condi. tions which surround her workmanship, and finally upon something subtle and mys- terious which works through law, and un der lies it all. There is no doubt that the quality of our affections as well as our thoughts, is greatly iufluenced by our dietary. The man who eats pork, thinks pork; if he eats bread he thinke bread. And too much luxury with- out self-restraint fosters the growth of use- less habits, just as a hot -bed fosters rank weeds thatrequire extermination to let good growths come to maturity. It is the use we make of things that brings real riches or poverty. Viral health is the result of many agen- cies, and of these, it is true'a good dietary is only one. Consumption, that scourge in many parte' of our land, is developed and made fatal by the lack of it. A consumptive is often brilliant in mind and beautiful in c.heracter,—the brilliance and beauty of a being burning rapidly to extinction. Let us have more stupidity,—with health, hap- piness, and long life. Let us live nearer to nature, while yet preserving our aspirations, refinements and enjoyments. The song of a bird, the murmur of a brook, the fragrance and hue of a flower, the floating clouds across the blue either, and— "Dewy morn and odorousnoon and even, With sunset and its georgous ministaies, And solemn midnight's tingling silentness," all will waken in us "thoughts that often lie too deep for tears." Plain living should include true elegance and culture and a wideaintelligence. The "shoddy" are never simple. They over- load food, furniture, and personal adorn- ment, as if the ends of Iffe were accumula- tion and show. Pretention is always vul- gar, and vulgarity is generally ostentatious. The "nouveau riche" are often detrimental to the nation. A writer has wisely said: "Greece was never more adorned with arts, fuller of schools more resonant of music, richer in genius, more showy in reli- gious sacrifices, than when she was struck , with hopeless death. It was the decay of ,virtue, the trieunph of selfish over public good, the absence of self-denial, the enerva- tion of luxury, the pride of vain philo- sophy, the hypocrisy of religion, that killed her." And the use of history is to correct ceir own mistakes in the light of past experi- ence. a < The good housekeeper shows her wisdom by the well-being of the inmates of her home, physically first, then mentally and morally. She knows that home cannot be kepe worthy and happy without effort. She studies the temperament of each mem- ber of the /wilily, and furnishes him or her with the food needed. The sanguine and full blooded require one kind ; the nervous th G an wiry ano er. ood taste rules the serving of the viands, but the viands are first selected to build up muscle and nourish brain, not to pamper and enervate. Other- wise, energy,' capacity, and integrity are weakened, and the powerto do good work is gone. It is related by a gentleman who had an invitation to breakfast with the late A. T. Stewart, that the butler placed before them The English in Egypt THE WOIXAN BLACH A. queer chersietee l'acte colvog iiensa, ton in 861111.011. e For more than a week, writes a Scranton, eorrespondent timid and eaperetitioue /4(41,,;., throughout the city have been kept in conetatla AO, of trepidation by the appos- e/10e yeelemsaellecee encl at unseasoiteble hours of an ancaney "idgere that is now (mite generally' epekeis of ad " The Woman in Blaele,' The weird visitdr first made her ep. pearance in the Pine brook portioit of the city, and was Klan by two yeung women who were On their way heme from is Wor- tley night "hop." At a sheet dietance from their hone* where the street is. sistomed by the Delaware amel Hadson Celle' company's track, the young women were stopped by the woman in hlaele, who said nothing, but esainned menacing attitude toward them. The girls were terrified and started to run, but the women in black overtook one of them and hugged her nava seta mason aaremen. The other ,girl returned with help just in time, and the specter then disappeared like a flesh. Since then tae woman in Week has made her appearance in various parte of the city—mostly in the outskirts and in the early hours of evening. Some of those who have seen her declare that she fired at them, and this having been reported to the police they are keeping a sharp lookout for the nocturnal disturber. A few evenings ego a workman employed near the Lackawanna Iron and Coal com- pany's blast furaasies ran up to a group of his fellow -workmen and reported to them with bated breath and bulging eyes that he had just seen the woman in black, and that she was at that moment hiding in a lumber pile a short distance from Roaring brook. Immediately there was a rush in that direc- tion, end although it was rather dark several declared that they saw a female figure dres- sed in black emerging from the lumber pile and running toward the river. Thinking they would be able to capture it some of the men followed in close pursuit, but when they were near the river bank the woman in black SPRANG OVER A PRECIPICE and disappeareddri the cave of an abandoned mine. Then lamps were procured and some in the men ventured into the cave and made diligent search, but could not find anybody hiding there. While this exciting chase was going on a large crowd of persons assembled on the bridge which crosses Roaring brook at this point, and the pursuers of the woman in black were urged not to desist until they had hunted hown their game. The girls employed m the have, it is said, been frequently frightened within the past few days by this twilight visitor, whose queer antics have produced something like a panic in some portions of the city. It is believed by some that the woman in black is a crazy individual at large, who is taking this method of indulging a wild fancy; while the more superstitious are of opinion that it is a veritable ghost. There are others yet who suppose that the woman in black is scene evil-minded man who is masqueracl- ing in female attire for the purpose of fright- ening timid persons. Some men whose friends have been frightened by the specter are looking for the woman in black with re- volvers and will not hesitate to shoot in case they see ANYTHING LIRE THE APPARITION hat has been described to thein. A mis- chievous young man named Farber tried to frighten a few of his friends in an alley in the Hyde park portion of the cit' the other night by personating the woman in black, but he was promptly arrested by the police and held to bail for appearance at court. He confes- sed that it was his first appearance in the character, but he was rather fortunate that the police were first to find him or he might have been the principal character in a funeral. The woman in black was seen again on Sunday night near the silk -mill by a, number of girls, who were chased for some distance by her. Whether the figure be a myth or a reality,: it has caused a genuine sensation throughout, the eity, ancl there are hundreds of persons who fear to venture out of their homes after dark lest they should meet the woman in black. both an elaborate bill of fare The visitor selected a list of rare dishes, and was quit abashed when Mr. Stewart said, "]3ring my nsual breakfast,—oatmeal and eggs.' He then explained to his friend that he found simple food a necessity to him ; other wise he could not think clearly. That un obsoured brain applied to nobler ends would have wen higher results, but the principle remains the same. Hard Study Not Unhealthful. The exercise of the brain, under the pro- per conditions, is no 'more unhealthful than the exercise of the arm, or of any other part of the body. It was made for use. Its functions are as essential to life and health as those of the stomach or lungs, and its full and powerful development is essential to the highest heilth and perfection of the bodily powers. Like all other parts of the body, the brain is subject to waste, and de- mands nourishment, more, in proportion to its size, than any other organ of the body. The fresh air, general exercise, and proper alternations of repose required for the health of all other parts of the physical system, are also requisite for a healthy brain; an these being withheld will kill a student as quick as it will another man, but no quick- er. That many students lose health is ow- ing not to hard study, but to close confine- ment with out fresh air, and to insufficient general exereise. Intellectual efforts might to promote health, and doubtless do when the other portions of the body are not sac- rificed for it. We are not so badly con- structed that, in order to be fat, we must consent to be fools ; nor is a dyspeptic stom- ach the neceesary companion to a wise head. Only the beet and the worst students us- ually show injury,—the best because of overwork and under -rest, bad air, and in- action ; the worst because of idleness and dissipation. Students between the two classes usually escape injury, except as they approach either one or the other of the classes named. The marking system in our collegs, while it has certain advantages which professors are quite ready to perceive and use, is fraught with so many clangers and positive evils that it can scarcely be defended. The system of college honors, which usually stands connected with and crowns the eye. tarn of marking, is another of those bad and dangerous usages to which we expose col- lege life. It is questionable whether the public exercises with which the school year of our public high schools is usually closed, have not the same bad effect% And worst of all, the stimulation exeited by these systems of which I have spoken is as un- friendly to sound eeholarship and real in- tellectual power as it is to good health. A thought may scar the sold as a syeapen leaves its mark on the flesh. English influence in Egypt is of such a character that it is doubtful whether En eland will ever be able to withdraw. The quality of English justice is now so well understood, not only in Lower Egypt but all over the country, that the Fellahs °flipper Egypt are beginning to come long distances, in many cases even on foot, to Cairo for the purpose of seeing the " Englishman," meaning some British administrator whose assistance they seek against the tyranny of the Pashas. They appear to have perfect confidence that if they can only " seathe Englishman" they will obtain justice and relief. 00 one Sun- day recently no fewer than seven petitions were received from natives of Upper Egypt against acts, of the Pashas. This feeling of the fellalieen in favor of English administra- tion and the confidence these poor people have that in any case they are safe from the vengeance of the Pashas is one of the most hopeful signs in Egypt. The Fellaheen of Egypt like the Bengslese will always need the protection of astronger race, and their appreciation of English administration will probably end in their becoming eventually recognized British subjects. The 'French Navy, There is no doubt about the French navy being in a deplorable condition, and the re- cent disclosures ofAdmiral Aube to the bud- get commitee have directed a good deal of public attention to the matter. But besides the inferiority of the French navy, not only to that of England, but also to that of Italy, the inefficiency of the French naval ports le also beginningto cause some uneasiness. Cher- bourg, for instance, has been called by the minister of marine a veritable nest of bomb- shells, and any ships that would seek refuge there in time of war would be doomed to in- evitable destruction.

It was the mills of the geds grinding slow-- ly, etc. Nor were they grinding ea very slowly, either, as one could ape by compar- ing them, with other glacial action near by. But a little way off, probably a half -mile to a mile away, was a small clump of woods into which the glacier in the past had 'pro- truded, as shown by the fallen, shattered trunks that lay near the edge of a smell moraine from which the glacier had now retreated a great number of rods. Out from the bristling line of shattered tree -trunks piled over each other for nearly or fully a hundred yards ell the spruce -trees were dead, but still standing, their whitened trunks and long, gaunt limbs contrasted strangely and conspicuously with the trees still covered with foliage that formed their background. These dead evergreens bad been actually killed by the proximity to the me without Its tormhing them, and either by its chilling influence kept up throughout the year for probably centuries, or the constant application of the ice -water about the roots, preventhig their growth ; for along this foot- le() there was always a marshy stream of ice -water draining off to the nearest muddy creek or rill. This was true of the glacier foot not over fifty yards from our camp in the forest, for here we got our water for . cooking purposes, but here also the ice of the glacier had evidently come forward so fast that the trees were rather killed by di- rect crushing of their trunks and limbs than by the slower one of the influence of great inasses of ice near by, and it was possible to sit down on this foot -ice of the Guyot Glacier, probably ten to twenty feet thick at that point, and at the same time be under the shade of a huge evergreen -tree, if a per- son desired two such cooling influences at the same time. Thus I came to the conclusion that the front of this great glacier was like the fin- gers of some huge radiating animal prolong- ing themselves outward and retracting again at long intervals that would require many human lives one after the other to measure a single stride and its backward flow. STATISTICS. There are probably now something like 12,000,000 sheep in Cape Colony, besides over 3,000,000 goats. The number of parcels carried during the first year of the existence of the Parcels Post was 15,000,000. Last year no fewer than 30,000,000 were safely delivered, being an increase of 100 per cent. in 3 years. The total trade of the Straits Settlements amounts to about £40,000,000 sterling, one- half representing exports. The trade of the colony is almost equal to that of Canada, and of New South Wales aud of Victoria, Zea- land. and nearly three times .that of New Zea - According to Mulhali, the stock of gold coined and uncoined in the world in 1850 was £030,000,000 sterling, and in 1885 XL - 504,000,000, an increase of £S74,000,000; but the amount of imports andexports in- creased from £771,000,000 in 1850 to £2,- 9a3,000,000 in 1884, so that the world was able to do £2,182,000,000 more trade with only £S74,000,000 niore monoy. The areas of India and of China proper are nearly the same—about 1,500,900 square miles. On Indian estimates, China proper should contain some 282,000,000 souls, which shows no great discrepancy with the latest official Chinese returns ; while the great central Chinese plateau, with its 3,- 000,000 square miles of mountains, wilder- ness, and waterless desert, is roughly as sumed to have a population of 15,000,000. Too Mean for His Own Good. Mr. M. was a New -York merchant of much enterprise and large experience. He had one weakness, of which it was out of the question to break him. With him good quality was always secondary to low price. If he could buy anything cheap, he didn't mind if it wasn't so good. The firm of which he was the head had, among other ventures, a candle factory, a risky kind of property, because it contained so many combustible materials. Mr. M. took out policies of in- surance, but, his first consideration being to pay the least possible premium, he dealt with rather shaky companies. Xis junior partner, feeling uneney about the matter, quietly insured the concern one day for $20- 000 in first-class companies, paying 5 per cent. premium, taking particular eare not to let the senior know anything about it. One morning the discovery was made that the factory was completely destroyed by fire, Mr. .M„ as soon as he reached the office, called for the policies. When his eye light- ed on those that had been obtained without his knowledge he exclaimed: "Who p aid 5. per cent. premium on these policies r, " did," said his associate. " What was the use of that? I never paid but 3?; per cent, for any that I took !"

Ins famdy into the house. They hadn't got scarcely settled yet when the chairs begun to tumble about the room, an' the dishes broke in the closets, an' the doors wouldn't stay shet, an' the winders rattled an' banged like as if some ono was all the tine a shakin' of 'ern. The owner of the house said that at night some one that he couldn't see kep' a theism' sum-. fin' about his ears th't sounded like dry bones in a bag. Ey'ry once in a while a gust o' wind would sweep through the house without no doors bein' open an 110 wind a blowinaoutside, an' sweep everything afore it.

Any how, the man th't had found the bones an' chucked 'em into the lot went to work to see if he couldn't git the bones together ag'in an' lay himto rest like is feller citizen ox -ter be. He found a few o' the bones an' planted 'em decent, jist to see whether that would have any 'feet on the onrelentin' spooks. The doors an' winders banged, an' the furniture skipped 'round, an' the cold gusts o' wind kep' a- playin' all the same. But the bag o' bones didn't rattle as hard as it had afore, an' the queer black dog, that had looked all along very fierce with its eye la very red, wa'n't anywhere NIOII AS FIERCE-LOOKIN' arter the few bones had been planted, an' his eyes war changed to a mild kind o' blue, an' just afore he'd make his disappearance by floatild off or fadhd away he'd give his tail a little wag, ez much ez to say that his feelin's was ehangin' to'ards the family.

Leastways that's what they said. Some of 'em was broke a leetle, Of course, an' one o' the neighbors had a knife handle that he had whittled out of a piece o' the peddler, but he took the rivets out like an honest man an' handed the bones over to the family.

"Well, the fam'ly wanted the peddler's skull the svust kind, so th't everything could settle down an' be nat'ral ; but it couldn't be found.
