Oa •-• • DEATH FROM HUNGER THE LENGTH OF TIME PEOPLE CAN LIVE WITHOUT FOOD, No Inflexible flule Prevails', and There Are Many Influences Which Affect the Iteenit-Opinions of an Eminent Phyalcian. A. pathetic story was attributed recent- ly to a 3 -year-old child in this city,' who was represented ns saying that it had . gone nearly a week without eating. At the time of its discovery the youngster was reported to be on the verge of star- vation, though still alive. Whether cred- ible manot, the tale naturally raises the question its to how long a person can livs without food. To the Most casual.Observer it must be obvious that no inflexible rule prevailsiu such matters. Sonie people can go much longer than others without eatiug. There are certain elements of vigor, of reserve, vitality, that would carry one person through an ordeal which another could not survive. Again, the conditions of the test may vary So widely that the same in- dividual would withstand one combina- tion of circumstances and succumb to an other. It goes without s ying that an in- valid would not show th powers of en- durance which' are to be xpected from a thoroughly well persen, et there are as- touishing differences am ng invalids, as indeed among those wh would be pro- nounced in good health b a physician. In his well known w ork, 'Praetical Dietetics;" Dr. W. Gil an ThoMpson points out that a star -vi man can hold out better if be refrain froM exercise than if he engages in _ phyaical labor which would consume so le of his tissue. Self forg.etfulnesse too, t nds to prolong life in time of famine. ne who is well nourished can endure mu h more than a person who is already half starved. Thus aretin explorers, af er having been kept on half raticins for i p extended pe- riod, would apparently n t have as good a chance of survi al as li they had been well fed up to th time of the complete suspension of su plies. They might be more fortunate, lowever than a ship- wrecked mariner, vho, in addition to the mental depression caused by his misfor- tune, was compe led to instain drafts upon his store of hysical energy through the inclemency of the weather. More- over, a fat -person - may complain more bitterly than his emaciated °comrade, but be would live longer under the same pra vations. In "Practical Dietetics" Dr. Thompson says: "Chossat's experiments with starving animals proved that while they lost, 4,0 per cent of body weight the loss of -fat alone reached 90 per cent, being greatly in excess .of any other substance. Ansel- mier fed starved dogs on their own blood and succeeded in thus prolongiug their lives three or four days beyond the usual limit, and life lasted until 60 instead of 40 per cent of their body weight had been lost. ,'When food is wholly withheld (from httman subjects), life cannot be prolong- ed beyond from six to ten days in the majority of instances. During the win- ter of 1876-7 an accident occurred in the min -es of a colliery of South Wales by , which four men and a boy became im- prisoned four days.without food. At the expiration of this period they were found alive, and although very feeble they were able to walk when released. They had a sapply of water, and the atmos- phere in Which they were confined was moist. By another colliery eccident iu Wales a number of men were confined in a mine for six days without food, and although their sufferings were extreme they nearly all were able to walk out on being res ued. "The.Ii4ck of food may be endured with far less toi ture if water is applied in abundan e to the system. When water Is withh lcl, the body loses weight much more rap dly, the tissues become dry, the thirst ex essive, the secretions. are sup- pressed, Ind the suffering is intensified." Replyh4g to questions about- the child meutione1 at the beginning of this arti- cle, Dr. Thompson remarked that he had not seen the story and was not prepared to expres an opinion as to its accuracy. Neverthe ess, there was reason to doubt whether the child had such a good sense of time as to realize what it was saying if it actually pretended to have been without food for several days. It is as- tonishing, however, to notice how long, a person will survive who is already much emaciated and whose supply -of nutrition I s limited. Dr. Thompson cited the case of a boy that he had seen in the Presby- terian hospital in New York. A photo- graph of the patient showed scarcely any- thing but skin and bones. The child was the viatim of some malady which made it difficu4 to reCeive arid retain food. • The food Was given in liquid forni and by mean e of a medicine dropper, yet life was eustaiaecl three weeks alter the point of - death had apparently been reached. Generally speaking, however, the au- thor of "Practical Dietetics".. believed that most men could go only a week without any food whatever and he ma- jority of children not over three or four days. Even then they must hay plenty of water. Cases like' that of Tanner and Reel are exceptions that prove the rule. They had the benefit of warmth, quiet andlack of anxiety. Whatever advantage might have been derivedfrom special prepara- tion for the ordeal was theirs, and they used water abundantly. Moreover, they doubtless possessed remarkable powers of endurance, but it le absurd to imagine that other persons cian do with impunity what those famous fasters did. It is a generally accepted fact, how- ever, that the majority of. people in com- fortable circumstances eat more food ev- ery day than they require, if not more than is reelly good for their health. Hence soma form- of abstemiousness ben- efits nearly every one who resorts to' it. In various parts of this country for the last ten years a number of men and wo- men have been going without their break-. fasts and iodulging in only two moder- ate meals a day. This prectice-it can hardly be talled a "tad" -has probably been -abandOned in many eases, yet it has probably weought more good than harm. The experience of Luigi Cornaro, tke Venetian who lived to the age of 108 and was a vegetarian for the laat half of' his life, is Occasionally cited to illustrate the value a restricted diet. Although Cornaro had lived a fast lite during the earlier part of his career, he reformed, and for the remaining'48 years of his life confined himself to 12 ounces of **geta- ble food and 14 ounces et wine , day.

Ito Manufacture Can Be Traced Back, 13"Our Thouaand Years. The invention of glass has been hitheif to popularly ascribed to the Pheenician Mr. Ludwig Grote, however, states thalt this is not the case. Mr. Grote point out that•another hypethesis on the stun subject is equally untenable-namel "Flavius Josephus," who ascribes th discovery.of glass to the Jews, as the rE suit of a forest conflagration, when, wit the assistance of the sand in the soil, the glass came into existence of its own ac- cord. As the.Plunnicians and the Jews were neighbors, proceeds the author, there is very likely an element of truth in bot traditions; inasmuch as both people exer cised the art of glasemaking at an earl age. If the .Phanlicians were the first t carry -the productions of glass into th world by means of their traders, th Jews did the same, to a greater and mart. lasting extent. Among t ie latter there were whole tribes carrying on the making of glass. Most of the glas -works existed at the time on the coasts f the Meditet- rauean; and throughout th whole middle ages, even up to the preeent time, one kind of glass blowing indestry has been In the hands of the Jew, especially in Palestine itself. Many expressions which were common in the glass:works at the time are still in use. - But neither the .Jews nor the Phoeni- cians can be looked upon ae the inventors rof glass. We find,efor instance, that the Persians, at the time of Alexander the Great, were also driukin out of glass vessels; that the Assyrian were versed •in the art of making glass, as we can prove by discoveries at Nineveh, and also that the are of making glass and of imi- tating precious stones was known to the , ancient Indians. Of great importance with regard to the history of the manu- facture of glass are also the ancient Egyptians. When olio remembers the great industrial activity of these people, it is not surprising that with reference to the making of glass more numerous traditions of it are recorded by them than by any other people. Not only written, but also figurative representations which are more than 4,000 years old, have been handed down to our time. The wall re-. , hers in the groves of Beni -Hassan repre- sent the manufacture of glass objects; tDey represent, among others, two glass biewers at work. They are working with the blowing pipe, which they have dipped into the mass lying between them, and by means of Which beautiful glass was man- ufactured, even at that time, is proved by a crystal glass which is to be found in the Museum of the Louvre. The French as well as the English museums Possess numerous artistic productions of that period, at the sight of which one is surprised, as in our time and with our mechanical appliances it is hardly pos- sible to surpass them.-Feilder's Maga- zine.

We Cling to a Custom Neither Be- , coming Nor Health Giving. • Why do- both men and women persist in wearing hats? asks Pearson's Maga- zine. There are three reasons why we should wear clothes. We may wear them for the sake of decency, for the sake of warmth, or for the sake of display. None of these • reasons applies to the wearing of hats. Of course there are head coverings that are warm, such as the Icelander's sealskin hood or the fish- erman's toque; but, as a rule, there is no real warmth in the hat of either sex. When a woman pins a slight structure of Straw and artificial flowers on the top of her hair, she never for an instant imag- ines that the thing will keep her from taking cold. The .masculine top hat is certainly warm on a hot day, but it la very lite from warm in cold weather. Neither are hats worn for the purpose of display. Doubtless there are times when women make the hat the occasion of displaying their fondness for dead birds, muslin flowers and other beautiful objects, but this is only when fashion has decreed that big hats shall be worn. At other times the female _hat is so micro- scopically small that it could not be suc- cessfully used for displaying anything. As for men's hats, they never display anything except the atrocious taste which makes them fashionable. Why, then, in the name of all that is sensible, do men and women wear hats? As a rule, every man and every wo- man looks better without a hat than with one. This is why we all take off our hats at the opera or at an evening party. And yet we cling to a custom that has not a word to be said in its behalf. We persist in wearing the ugly, useless and injurious het. Why do we doe it? I should like to find a goad Irish echo that would answer the question at length and In a satisfactory way. queerest Street In the World. Canton, in China, possesses the queerest street in the world in spite of the fact that in nearly all the big towns in this country there are some remarkable streets. The chief thing of interest at- taching to this eccentric thoroughfare is the fact that it is roofed in with glazed paper fastened on bamboo and contains more signboards to the square foot than any other street in any other country. The.next interesting fact about this Cati- ton byway is that, though a business street, it contains no other shops but those •of apothecaries and dentists' par- lors; no professional men but doctors.

Not on your life!" said a veteran New Orleans.broker, chat- • ting over cigars and cdffee in a restau- rant last night. "I've responded on hard Luck stories as often as he next fellow , " he continued earnestlyn "and I'll do it again, but a tip on the market -no! 1 . Wouldn't give it if I knew it was a lead pipe cinch and the othea chap needed the money to buy bread. Tbatr sounds hard, and it's the result of hard experience. When I was young and gr en, I used to 1 put folks next to 'good thi gs' now and then, and there was neve1t a case -not one -in which I didn't have a reason to curse my folly. In the first place, nobody who gets .it secret of that kind is going , to keep it. 1 : "One day years ago, just to give you an illustration, a man who was an old friend of my father's aed who was bad- ly down on his luck, came to ask My private advice on a little speculatiie investment. I took hien into my back office, swore him to secrecy and gave him a piece of informat on of considera- ble value. I instructed him exactly what to do and impressed upon him that the least leak would rnin the whole thing and incidentally destroy his own chances of making some money. I was so earnest that he got indignant and a. ked me if I meant to insult him by d ubting his word. 1l q "Well, in ide of an hotir h had told the seeret, 'in strict cdnfidence," of course, to two particular friends, each (4 whom proceeded to tell it in strict confidence to other partictilar friends, givieg me as au- thority -all along the line, and before night It was publit property.

"Speaking of comidal, incidents i the° civil war," said Captain Oscar Ludwig, "brings to mind an incident of the blow- ing up of Fort Hill at Vicksburg. Fort Hill, it should be understood, was the key to the Confederate ystent of fortifi- cations. Our regiment, the , Twentieth Illinois, had charged up to the fort on May 22, but was ordered back on the 23d and laid siege in a regular way. In June we .proceeded to (.1g an open tun- nel toward the fort for the purpose of mining. A car loaded nigh with cotton bales 'WSS pushed in front to protect the diggers, and the tunnel' or trench was covered as we proceede to protect us szi from the Confederate d e, Finally we pushed the tunnel und r the fort and made ready for exploding the mines, and our brigade made ready for the charge. "The mines were exploded. The fort and all the men in it seemed to go into the air, and the Twentieth Illinois and other regiments rushed into the gap. As we climbed over the broken. embankment .,, three men who had bee blown up with the fort came down. T o of these were white men, and they ere dead. The other, a colored man, canae down with a mass of debris, but he Is living. When the boys dug him out, hey asked him how in the world he mine to be in the fort. The frightened clarky explained that he was the servant of one of the, leading °facers and that he had just car- ried to his master his dinner when the explosion came. "He went on to say: 'Dat Is so for a fact. I came in just in time to be Iblow- ed; up. I was tandin by de side of de captain when here came a roarin an tremblin, an I telt myself goin up. In a little while I started down, an I met de captain comin up, but We didn't speak. PIG was goin up head fust an I was com- tn doWn head fust. I struck mighty bard, but here I is, thank de Lord an do Yankees!' I supposeethat if any one would ask that darky to describe the siege ot Vicksburg he would tell of his ewu mishap at the blowing ui) of Fort Hill." -,Chicago Inter Ocean. A. Persian Soldier's oonundrain. The Rev. Samuel Graham Wilsoft, M. A., author of "Persian Life and Cus- toms," s a Missionary who has lived in the lan4T he writes about for more than 30 year. To show that the Persian peas- ant Is ixot devoid of hu or, the doctor tells the following experie ce: "A soldier was an attache of a royal household, and, besides soldiening, he had to write poems and tell cionuiadrums and improvise /miles. One day, after net having been paid for either military or other duties, he said to hijx master: "'1 have a conundrum, your excellea- ey.' 'What is it?' "‘Telame What it is which has a naniie but no existetice?' "The master thought fot sometime t1.44 then exclaimed: 'I give it up. Now tell me the answer.'
