A Question of Health.

Two healthy men talked. "I attribute my condition," said the first healthy man. "entirely to my manner cf life. I rise at 6 every morning, take a cold tath "

"A cold bath!" excloimed the secors-1 healthy man. "Ugh I It makes me shudder."

"Yes, sir," rep-sated the first healthy n«an. "A cold bath — just as the water runs. ipind you — and then a light breakfast of milk and toast. After breakfast I walk five mil-3s in very light clothes ;- in fact. I never wear an overcoat all winter. For "dinner I eat a chop, and after dinner ?nether walk of five miles. In the evening I harv-e a plain supper, _ anil am in bad fly 10. I don't drink and don't smoke." "Well," said the second healthy man. "that wouldn't suit me at all. I lie a-bed as long as I can in the morning. Then I get up, dresg in a warm room, so as Io be thoroughly comfortable eat a heariy foreakfast, and ride to business— for I never rralk or take any exercise if I can help it. At noon I eat a big luncheon, and at dgfct I gsi outsicb of a siz-emnvso dianer.

I smoke ten cigars a day and drink what I please." The firjt healthy man looked at him in amazement.

"How, then," he exclaimed, "do you account for the fact that we are both so blamed healthy?"

"It must be,'' said the second healthy nan, as le lighted another cigar, "because each of us does what he pleases, in spite of the other.'' — Life.
