THREE MEALS A DAY.
Relation Between u Nation'* Food
Bills and Its Commerce Shown
b) Statistics.
Statistics have been collected to show
that the measure of the prosperity of i
a country is the amount of food con
sumed by its inhabitants—in other
words, that diet and commerce go hand j
in hand. The countries which consume
the largest amount of food and drink per
capita are the countries which have the
largest surplus for export to other
lands; the countries which are abstemi- i
ous or moderate In their consumption
of food and drink havVTittle surplus to
send away, says the New York Sun.
The average cost of food per capita ;
in the United States is 60 cents a day;
the United States stands at the head of
exporting countries with r.n average of
$1,250,000,000 in a year.
The average consumption of food and
drink in England is 60 cents per capita, |
and England stands second on the list
of exporting countries. Germany is the ;
third with an export trade of more than
$1,000,000,000, and 45 cents a day the
average per capita spent for food and
drink (beer included).
France has an export trade of $800,
000,000 a year and the average expense
to each Inhabitant for food and drink
is 40 cents a day. Russia, with an ex
port trade of $37'\ro0,000, expends 20
cents a day on^food and drink per capita,
and Italy v.lh $275,000,000- of annual
expspends 18 cents a day, in maco
roni, v ine and other articles of diet.
All of which convinces statisticians
who have unearthed this notion of the
relation of productiveness to diet that
"three meals a day for each inhabitant”
is the open door to world powef in com
j merce, manufactures and the surplus
j products of a fertile soil.
FOOTBALL ACCIDENT.
11 i
Emphnnhpfi Fact Tlmt Only the
Strongest and Physically Fit
Should lie Allowed to Play.
So many accidents have been laid to
the game of football and so many lads
have been crippled thereby that we sel
dom hear of the injuries and deaths
that might have been avoided. The
death of a young medical student of
Baltimore during a contest, but at a
time when the ball was not in play,
says the New York .Herald, affords a
striking instance of an easily prevent
ive accident.
The victim had been a sufferer from I
heart disease for a long time and yet
was allowed to take active part in the
game. His condition should have
been, if it was not, known to his med- j
ical associates.
There is no account of his having
received any injury previous to the
time he was stricken with collapse.
No better proof of his unfitness for any
extra physical exertion can be given
than the suddenness of his death while
he was merely resting. The lesson of
the sad story is emphatic and con
vincing.
There is no game that requires more
careful and systematic training than j
football and only tbe strongest are
capable of bearing the strain. If there
is any physical weakness in the can
didate it becomes quickly manifest as ;
he goes on with his exercises, and why
such incapacity could not have been
discovered in time to have' saved the
unfortunate youth is difficult to imag
ine.
TOLD IN ENGLAND.
London Publication Again Hetav*
recta the Mythical American
Who Toadlea to Royalty.
A continental hotel keeper, saya a
writer in the London Truth, recently
confided the following story to a friend
of mine: Some years ago, after Queen
Victoria had been staying at a certain
hotel, a wealthy American called on the
proprietor and signified his desire to
sleep if it could be managed, in the same
apartments, the same bed, and if possi-1
ble, the same bed clothes, as those which
had held the sacred person of her maj
esty before“they had been seat to the
! wash. Money was no object to him,
What would it cost?
The hotel proprietor was equal to the
occasion. He thought it could be ar
ranged for £20. A bargain was struck
; on these terms. The millionaire duly
arrived, and retired to the royal couch.!
No doubt he thoroughly enjoyed his
night’s rest, and the prospect of subse- j
quently electrifying his friends with the
story of his regal experience. Hispleas
| ure must have been somewhat marred
when he discovered later on that her
Britannic majesty always traveled with
her own bed and bedding.
Galileo and Urban VIII.
Galileo’s wit got him into trouble
when he put into the mouth of Sim
plicio, the foolish opponent of the
Copernican theory in his “Dialogues,"
an argument that Pope Urban VIII. i
had himself devised, and insisted on
Galileo incorporating in the work.
Galileo made Simplicio quote it as an
argument he had from a “very eminent
and learned personage." The enemies
of Galileo persuaded Urban that he had
been “made game of," and this was the !
offense of which Galileo was guilty. It
was not for upholding the theory that
the sun stands still and the earth moves
that Galileo was tried by the inquisition. '
Urban himself had supported the
Copernican doctrines, both as cardinal
and as pope.
