Their Diet and Stimulants Are of Great
Importance.
Har d-working men , especially in the-
learned professions , are often puzzled
as to the right hours for their meals
and the right diet to be taken at their
meals. The much graver question of
stimulants also interests them person
ally. The fear of a midday meal is
very common among brain-workers. A
good luncheon , is apt to interfere with
inspiration , especially if ; any form of
alcohol he taken. Tea , very popular
with scholars , is less objectionable as
to its immediate effects , especially
among scholars , who like workwomen ,
nearly always take too much and pre
fer their tea to bo strong , "red as
blood , " as Garrick used to say. The
chief danger in taking too light a
midday meal is that the student is at
his worst , physically , just before din
ner time. Hence , dinner is rendered a
fresh source of dyspepsia , and if he
strolls about before the evening meal
he is a t to take cold.
The special stimulants of great men
"have been recorded in their memoirs.
One of the most remarkable records of
this kind has come to light in Au
brey's "Brief Lives , " founded on notes
taken by the author in the middle of
the seventeenth century. Few drinks
are more distrusted among brain-
workers these days than ale , but
Pyrnne seems to have thought other-
, wise. He was a voluminous
writer , and his pamphlets lost
him his eyes and endangered
him his head. Aubrey informs
us that "about every three hours his
( Prynne's ) man was to bring him a
roll and a pot of ale tofocillate his
wasted spirits. So he stu < 1 and ate
and drank and munchedd , and
this maintained him till night , .when
he ate a good supper. Now , he did well
not to dine , which break's off one's
fancy , which will not presently he re
gained. " The danger of a priori rea
soning may be seen from the above
quotation. Those who have forgotten
about Pryhne would take him , from
this note of his diet , to be a bohemian
of a well-known old-fashioned type ;
yet he was a stern , uncompromising
puritan who suffered mutilation and
the pillory , and had a violent and very
unbohemian prejudice against the
stage. The diet does not then proclaim
the man. We doubt , however , if the
serious student of the end of the nine
teenth century would do well to "re-
focillate his wasted spirits" by drinkIng -
Ing a pot of ale every three hours.
Prynne was perhaps wise not to dine ,
which meant to lunch in those days ,
and Implied a very hearty meal. But
the munching of rolls all day and the
"good supper" were questionable. Hia
style was very caustic , perhaps be
cause of the misrule of Charles I. , hut
possibly , also , through dyspepsia ,
which also had so disastrous an influ
ence on the literary temper of Thomas
Carlyle.
liloillolcal Soap.
The use of soaps containing a disin
fectant of some kind has become so
general , says the Medical Press , that
observations on the practical value of
such combinations cannot fail to be of
interest. Dr. Reithoffer has recently
published the results of some experi
ments carried out by him with various
kinds of soap , having for object to de
termine their value as microbicldes.
He used the ordinary mottled soap ,
white almond soap perfumed with no-
trobenzine , and hard potash soap. He
found that these soaps were very in
imical to the cholera mivrobe , al per
ent solution killing them in a short
space of time , while a 5 per cent solu
tion of the potash soap killed them in
five minutes. We are , therefore , at
liberty to infer that , as in washing the
hands the strength of the soap solution
is never less than 5 , and may go as
high as 45 , per cent this method of
disinfecting the hands , as well as the
clothes , etc. , is fully trustworthy. Most
stronger solutions are required , how
ever , to destroy the bacili of typhoid ,
the coli-bacillus , etc. , not less than 10
per cent being sufficient. None of the
soaps experimented with appear to
have any effect on pyogenic microbe.
The practical result of these investiga
tions is that it is always preferable
to use soap and water first of all , rins
ing the hands in the disinfectant solu
tion afterward. This is an Important
point , which merits to be generally
made known.
Chiiieao Telegraphy.
The Chinese , owing to the multiplic
ity of the characters in their written
language , have solved the problem of
telegraphy by using numbers for trans
mission over the wire instead of char
acters. The numbers have to bo re
interpreted Into characters when re
ceived. To facilitate the operation ,
types are used. On one end of each
type Is a character ; on the other end
a number. By reversing and im
printing the types upon a sheet of pa
per the change is readily effected , with
high degree of accuracy.
Electric Motor \Vagons.
The Automobile Club and some elec

jlectrically propelled carriages possi-
ilo all over France.

'OF CURRENT INTEREST.
Those interested in the drift of oper
atic taste In view of the special per
formances of Wagner operas In New
V'ork , which have attracted so much
attention , will find the Wagner opera
figures for the season of 1897-93 in
Germany of some significance. There
the interest in Wagner still holds its
own. In the year in question there
were 1,202 presentations of his works ,
'Lohengrin" leading with 287 perform
ances , and "Rienzi" fetching up the
rear with forty.
Mrs. M. Fleming , of the Harvard as
tronomical observatory , has been ap
pointed curator of astronomical photo
graphs , a position for which she is
said to be eminently fitted by years
3f experience and achievement. Hers
is the first name of a woman entitled
to a place along with the officers in the
university catalogue. She has about a
lozen women assistants , most of whom
are computers of long experience , and
some of whom have made discoveries
that have entitled them to mention in
scientific publications.
Austria-Hungary , Italy , Poland and
Russia , while they furnish but 9.45 per
cent of the total population of New
York city , furnish , it is statd , 51.11
per cent of the slum population ; while
the immigrants from England , Scot
land , Wales , France , Germany and
Scandinavia furnish 30.73 per cent of
the population , they furnish but 8.61
per cent of the slum population. The
sport of the United States commis
sioner of labor shows that of every
lee aliens , fifty-nine were illiterate in
the slums of New York , and that of
every 100 of these illiterate aliens
there were seventy-eight males of voting
ing age. There are foreign cities
within the limits of New York where
scarcely a word of English is spoken ,
and the people are under the dominion
of ideas utterly foreign to American
principles. In New York state , 3S per
cent of the foreign bor ncannot speak
the English language.
