Bismarek's private physician, Dr. Schwennenger. owes his international repu at on to his success in dimijnish- the Caaneellor’s weight. The ret of his method is never to allow his patient to drink with his meals, or if he does drink to do so sparingly. Hence follows the converse rule that if you covet stoutness yeu shorld drink freely with your meats, always, however, in such away as to not interfere with the digestive processes. That is, you should never drink while you have food in your mouth, for the food ought to be moistened by saliva alone. Tee water, too, should be always avoiled. It chills the stomach and is the cause of three-fourths of the indigestion and consequent leanness in this country. Mountain tourists know that ice water never quenches the thirst. Yet we constanily spoil our water by puting in ice. ‘The ice should never be allowed to come in contact with the water we drink, but only with the outside of the pitcher. In this way we avoid also the da gers from m crobes hidden in impure ice. Air is food, as much as beef, the only diff-rencs being that food is assim lated in the stomach, air in the ing lungs. Hence, if you wish to be plump, become = an__ air-glutton. all the fresh air you can set, and avoid foul, stuffy air, espe- cially at night, as you would putrid meat. Always breathe throngh the nose, and cultivate the habit of slowly filling your lungs with twice as much air as you commonly inhale, cahaling it again as slowly. This purities the blood and sti:ulates the appetite. Frequent warm baths before retiring, or cold sponge baths in the morning, followed by brisk friction with a coarse towell, have the same effect. Exercise is commonly prescribed as a method of reducing one’s weight, and brisk and long-continued exercise does have this eff-ct. But moderate exercise is an antidote against lean- ness, because it stimulates the appe- tite, and thus more than atones for the loss following muscular move- ment. Bes d:s, if exercise is altogeth- er avoided there is danger of losing grace and sy.ume ry. Brain-rest is especi: the case of those who object to lean- ness. Moderate brain-exercise is, in- ceed, essential to perfect health, but excess should he carefully avoided. Emotional excitement and worry are fatal to the chances of becoming plump and pretty.

Some of the Trials of Telegraph Linemen Employed in Yucatan. Picture to yourselves a conntry of impenetrable vegetation, with gigan- tic palms and plantains, with jungles so dense that itis hard work with a stent and sharp machete to make a path through them, a country of ine tense heat, of innumerable mosquitoes, and ticks, and malaria, and snakes and vegetation that grows up in a day ‘o a height that interferes with the la- bor of man. Such are some parts of the Mexican State of Yucatan, and it is through such regions that the tele- fraph which connects the M-xican Capital with important points like San Yuan, Butista or San Cristobal must penetrate. This is a country where the linemen go in couples. anil armed With rifles to fizht off the fiere: “puma” or M xican tizer - (tigre), who assan'ts man and is esp cially Tivenous for telegraph cons'ructors!
