Tiee other two meals should beeonie lighter and lighter by degrees, easy steps being made by fruit meals or biscuit meal% or by some other form of small re- freshment. When should the one meal be ? Is it possible to stay the whole day until the evening without eellatiee tion ? One cannot possibly tell till alter fair trial; and at once nearly everybody calls out that a tear trial would not be worth the cost. Or shall we wait till midday, then eat and rest and eat notheng again till the next midday, or shall we talee breake fast oely and live the whole day, from raorrang till telt next morn- ing, without taxing our digestion? Prebably most people could accustom themselves to any system if they had the strength of mind and the patience, but which is best ? In view of the axial life, I should decide against the one -meal plan, except as a temporary means of re- storthg balance. ease that purpose It is most excellent. I should suggest the approach toward the two -meal pram with the second meal taken at least two hours before one retires to rest, Then there need be no heavy breakfaet, but perhaps a fairly heavy meal at midday. I do not ina agate that anyone whom the two - meat plan has really suited sval care to go back to any other plan or absence of plan.

But it is a peculiar , fact that Maier normal conditions time miner does not seem to be ambi- tious to do more than one chamber at a time, or to work beyond five or six ho -ars a, day. Ren1 (louse of Strike. "The real cause of this strike was that the 'miners' helpers, who are mostly foreigners, had got it into their heads that the miners were not maaing a fair divide. They were or- ganizing a mine laborers' movement to force the miner to divide even. The operators have nothing to do with hiring the belpere. They are hired by the miners themselves. To avert a sub -strike among their "battles.," as the laborere are called, the min - ere swung the general strike, es- teneibly for the points, set ferth in their pabliehed demands, but in re- ality to enable the union to con - trot diecipline and thus put it beyond the power of the laborer to revolt. "In the mines also aro many 'com- pany hands,' men paid by the month to run engines, aet as firemen, at - teed to the pumps, Pte. The union's dentane for ale eight-hour slay was to enlist them in the striae. They are gettiog good wages -engineers $00 to at30 e month for long Iowa but light work, wad others in- pro- portion.

But they belong to the union and baye votes lu time call- ing of eirikee, and the idea of striking has developed among them rapidly. Last year at this end of the octal fields there were a hundred odd local strikes, suoetly over the pettiest con- celvable things, and the breaker boy and bar -room Mater element had a good deal to do with declaring them.

Te get a Helium, or certificate, as it is welled, he must first have worked at least two years in the mines as a laborer, and then pass an examination to show that lie knows enough aboet the peouliar re- quirements of mining to be a safe man to admit to a chamber."

Mr. Cbaniberlaile presided at the meeting, and enunciated his views in a lengthy addreise. He said lee had always been, in favor of the Govern- ment providing only secular educa- tion, but rightly or wrongly, the ma- jority of the couotry require that religioes inatruction of some kind be given it. If the country 'codid not get what tt wanted from a Unionist (+over -einem, it -would not get it froin the Radical Government, which would follow the Government it might smash.
