Possibly it dates back to a time when grain, pounded and cooked, was. the chief article ef food. The Orientals generally had only two metda, between whloh intervened the labors et the day, and it is largely their custom now. This causes confusion in translating the Bible terms relating to meals. For in- stance, Ctirist is represented as saying to thedisciples at early dawn, "Gome and ftne," and the Jews had no light meal after te principal one. Even In cold oountriei, where thtee meals a day are the rule, the first was looked on as a alight breaking of the fast, while the last was a mere sup, or sip, later of tea, tiiua giving us tea-time as an equivalent of sapper. The meal of the day was the din- ner hence among the Greeks and Jews the word fer dinner and a feast was one %ad the same. Where, among the higher classes in England, the dinner occurs qaite late in the day, no need is felt for another meal. In the rural dlitricts and the small towns of eur own country the original cnstom of three meals Is well-nigh universal, and the dinner divides the day in^ two nearly equal parts, and so controls the social and, to some extent, the religious customs of the people. Domestic, cares belong to the fore noon, and social calls to the afternoon. So, too, whereas the synagogne worship of the Jews had but a single service, we generally, in the country at least, !xave two, the one in the afternoon being simply a duplicate of the one in the forenoon. In our large cities, however, where ifiBce business is transacted mainly between nine A. M. and five P. M., or where business men reside miles away from their work., the tendency is toward the earlier custom of two meals. Such a change oan hardly become general. But where it is convenient, there ate two solid reasons in its favor, t e., of two principal meals, with a slight lunch between (1) It gives time for a complete digestion before again filling the stomach â€" a matter of no little importance to high health. (2) It transfers the principal meal from the time when the nerve force is in special demand for the brain, to a time i^hen it is set free for the stomach. But there Is a large class everywhere who would be greatly benefited by having only two meals a day. It being understood that tbey eat as much in two meals, as would ordmarily be needed In three. They are the neuralgic, those whose digestion is feeble and slow, and the victims of many chronic fmmtilaints.

A FAMOUS TESWS DEAD. •ac ef the Six Cenvlets Kescaed by aa â-²merleaa Whaler. Michael Harrington, the eldest of the Fe- nian prisoners who were resoned from New South Wal^s by the Amerioaa whaler, Cata- lapa, in 1876. died recently ef pneumonia, at the residence of his bhther-tn-law, Ed- ward Whelan, in San Francisco. The fifty- four years of Harrinston's life were full of romantic interest. Ha was bom in Cork. Waile a young man he enlisted in her Ma- jesty's sixty-first regiment just in time to setve In the Sepoy reballion and Indian mu- tiny. He fought in TUIBTSBK ENGAGEMENTS, was wounded, ani recnrned to Eigland, where he continued his military service un- til he lacked but one year of the time to re- tire on {k pea«ion. That was in 1866, when the mine of Feni^nlsm was about to be fired in IreUnd. Harrington deserted his regi- ment and hastened to Ireland to join the up- rising, but was arrested at Dublin and was brought before a court martial, charged with deiertion and high tn ason. He was sen- senoed to be shot. But the penalty was com- muted to penal 'Servitude fOr life and he was transported with a number of others to the Isolated island at Ndw South Wales. But in 1875 the Clan-na-Gvl society In NeW York PLANKED THEIB BESCUE, and a whaling ship was fitted out for the purpose. John J. Braslin, meanwhile, under the guise of an American millionaire went to Australia and manageid to com- monioate with the prisoners. The vessel set ont, none of the crew knowing her desti- nation, except the captain, and in April 1876 the ship having arrived out the six conviots began their perilnas march of twenty miles to the sea. Of course their prison garb betrayed them before they had driren many miles, and the alarm was given at the quarters, but they hurried on and finally reached the vessel. But this was hardly under sail before the British corvette Georgittta was discovered in chase. As it near^ the whaler the captain hesitated, as he doubted his escape into the high seas, but when the first mate, William Simth, an American from Massachusetts, learned oi the state of affairs he urged all hands to press on. The escaping Fenians were heavily ABUXS AND DESPEKATK to the last degree.
