V'v;v THE PROPER WAY TO LIVE A Noted Minister's Views Oh the Subject of Eating. " The Gastronomio Tastes and Preferoaoos of fiev. Robert Oollyer. Tlie ltev Dr. Robert Collyer was busily engaged on some manuscript when a representative of the CooJc eallod upon hiin. but he laid aside his work when told that his views on the proper mode of living were desired, and. Rfintinrr himsalf in an ensv rock ing-chair, he lighted a fresh cigar and told the reporter to "pitch in." Jn response to the questions asked him Dr. Collyer said: "I think the American people, take them all in all, are the best livers of any people in the world. I don't find any fault with the method of living here; in fact, 1 was only too glad when I got to a land where I could live twice as well as I could in my native country. It may be different in England at this day from what it was before 1 left, but in noy time a workingman in that country would no more think of having a turkey on his table than he would of having the American bird of freedom. All of the workinginen whom I have jnet in this country?and I have known thousands of them?live much better than the workingmen of England. "As for myself, I try to live like a Christian and a white man. I like plain food well cooked, and I do not care for any kind of messes. I like chicken-pie; but as for compounds of pastry and fruit or vegetables known as 'pies' in this country, I sometimes eat them,4>ut can get along without W? hitvn a aimlrlnn **ir? - .WW - UUVU.MS 1"6 served up once a year when I can get my folks to cook it. I like roast pig for Charles Lamb's sake. We also have a roast goose once or twice a year, for my own sake and my boyhood's sake. I like seed-loaf and teaeake for my mother's sake. "On the Sabbath I eat four meals. We have breakfast at eight o'clock, and regularly every week as the day of rbst comes around we have fishcakes for breakfast I should hardly know how to keep the Sabbath if 1 . was deprived of fish-balls. Supplemented with a mutton-chop and a good cup of coffee, they are an excellent thing to preach a sermon on. , The. meal of the day is served at one o'clcck, and we usually have roast meat with the necessary accompaniments, and always have one or two friends in to help us to eat it. The Sabbath should be especially a dny of hospitality, and it gives zest to a good dinner when you have one or two Iriends to partake of it with you. "After dinner I go to Sundayschool, and about six o'clock drink some tea and eat a little bread and r. butter. After the evening service I partake of a bowl o? soup with crackers or bread, and find that my slum feerB are never disturbed because of Ibis late -meal. The English people lor the most part have tout meals a day?that is, I mean, the better class; and they are usually a healthy looking people. I don't believe much, however. In late Buppefs. ?On my birthday I alw3Are.itafve a big dish of oatmeal and ? -"rfeaai; not that I am particularly parMai to oatmeal, for as a boy I became o accustomed to it that it has palled on my taste. However, I made up my mind VAArit flan Hint". if T A war ?AnM . r * ?rv * v,Vft WU1U afford it I would have oatmeal and eream?not blue milk?on my birth, daj every year." When asked if he believed that the f ' train was developed by the use of par-' licular kinds of food. Dr. Collyer said: **I think most of the talk on this subJect is nonsense of the worst kind. Bhakspere certainly did not have much V. chance to get fish food at Stratford-onAvon; and other prominent men of opt J-'-, own time have been born and brought n. ...Kara tl.at. .11J 1 w mui t vuuj j/iuurtuijr uiu UUl gVl way fish food from one year to another.

IjpV "Yes," he said, huskily. "Well, would you mind doing me ? little favor?" "MincH dear Miss Browne," he re ' plied* with a look of unutterable re proach; "you have but to name it!" "Thanks!

Tiio Eskimo seem to have a convenient appetite; they can go without food for long periods, or eat five or six Umo a day, just as they happen to Ijuvo it. They are improvident of Cuud r.nd do not begin to lay in then winter supply ofttimes uutii it is too late, when they suffer from lack of it and appeal to the Governor, who obliges them to give him a tithing, which is left in reserve. It is said that were it not lor this supervision during severe winters, the natives would soon become extinct from starvation. 1 have never seen a native eat more than what I estimated as five pounds of seal meat and blubber at a meal, though I have read of ten or fifteen pounds being a not unusual consumption at one sitting. They eal but twice a day as a regular habit, before going to bed and almo3t as soon as they awake. From my limited observation, I would say that an adult consumes about eight pounds of solid food a day, subject to variations, according to the amount of exercise and the external temperature. The small quantities of tea, coffee and (lour consumed at a meal scarcely require mention as factors in the food supply. The natives live in a temperature with a yearly average closely bordering od zero Fahrenheit. Their food is almosl wholly animal. They are provided with small skin boats or kyalcs, whicb are very light, but of great strength and can be transported with great fa cility over the ice to open water. These boats have the javelin or speai as part of the outfit, and the Eskimc from early youth is trained to manag< the kyak and throw the spear, so thai they become exceedingly expert, and il is seldom that the hunter goes out ir season without returning with hit game. The Eskimo, on seeing a sea come to the surface for air, will, with a few strokes of the paddle, approact as near as possible; when the seal dis appears beneath the surface a fevi quiet, rapid strokes put the kyak di rectly over the spot, then with his jav elin poised he waits for the seal to re appear; should the head show itseli above water within a distance of ter or fifteen feet, their aim is almost un erring. After the seal is struck, th< head of the javelin is slipped off, ant to it are attached about six fathoms o: line, on to which a large bladder floal is tied. The line and bladder are im mediately, cast into the water, and th< seal carries them off until he is ex hausted, then the line is hauled in anc the seal at the end a ietlv disnatnhar. with a small knife; not always quietly however, for a large seal when wound ed will often show fight, and wrecl the kyak. The loss of life attending thi hunt is quite considerable, as the frai^ skin boats are ofttimes cut througt by the ice or swamped in rough water the hands of the hunter are necessarily exposed, and mauy of them suffei from their being frozen during seven weather. They procure their fish bi dexterously using a short line and at tac'aing a small ivory hook to it. The] bob this up and down through a hol< in the ice, and the unsuspecting fisl that bite are thrown out on the ice they have n?> system of netting.?Dr B. B. Green in Medical News. An Ingenious Metal Cutter. ' An account is given of the introduc tion into England, by Mme. De Long of her metal cutting machinery, whicl has for some time been in successfu use in France. She has now, it ap pears, perfected some ingenious ma chinery, worked by steam power i which cuts with the utmost precisioi the hardest and softest metals in an^ ; design, so that by it can be producec a gold lace pin or a steel castle port cullis from the solid metal, withou any molding or filing. This uniqui industry is divided into four crpn?r? branches. The first is the productioi of gatps. doors, balcony fronts, am other architectural metal work with out casting?plates of brass a foo thick being thus cut into lattice worl at a single operation. A seconi ! branch is the making of lattice metH work filled in with glass, to supersedi ' the ordinary leaden frames for churcl and other ornamental windows. Th third branch comprises the inlayinj of plush and ebony jewel cases ' cabinets, etc., with red and yellow cop i per steel and other metals; and i i fourth for the working of pictur - frames, baskets, crests, etc., out of th solid metal, fully finished.
