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

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;

My idea is that if a man lives soberly
and rationally the nourishment he revives
will be distributed to all parts oj
V his system, supply all needs, and keep

I!n Young Smythe was passionately
enamored of Miss Browne, and was
squirming in his chair preparatory to f
J;S jroposal, when the young lady said:?
v "Mr. Smythe,you pass Mr. Thinpiate,
the jeweler's, on your way home; do
yon not?"
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!"

Tho Eskimo's Appetite.
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

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.
