received the affidavit of Captain Parsons, of
the schooner George Washington. who arrived
at the port of Baltimore July q, regarding
the searching of his vessel by Spaniaris off
the coast OF Cuba. The Secretary considered
the affidavit a very clear statement, but says:
''Of course there can he no action taken by
the United States Government until all the
facts in the case are in its possession. II,
upon thorough investigation, it shall appear
to the satisfaction of the Administration that

The Moral Of Tanners Exploit.

Whether DR.. Tanner has lived for
the last two weeks on nothing more
substantial than the light, impalpable
air, may be open to doubt, but that he
is teaching us useful lesson is quite
certain. If he has received any nour-
ishment at all since he began his long
fast, it has been so little compared with
what the ordinary man takes that it
scarcely counts at all, and those who
think that they, Shylock like, must have
their pound of flesh a day even with the
thermometer in the nineties, would do
well to learn wisdom from him. Why
Americans should eat so much meat in
summer is question that has been
family raised occasionally, aud always
laid with the answer that meat is the
most nourishing of foods, and that any
one who works hard, either physically
or mentally, cannot do without it. The
fact that other races, however, who
make dinner of herbs and know little
of the stalled OK, perform quite as much
labor, disproves this, and the explana-
ton current on this side of the Atlantic
for abstention from meat on the other
that people cannot afford to buy it.
i
here. It has been too cheap in our
markets and hence we have got into the
habit of gorging ourselves with it re-
gardless OF consequences. Meat for
breakfast, meat for luncheon, meat for
dinner, meat for supper this is the reg
ular curriculum at our hotels and fam
lily tables. The result is general dis
comfort. Food is taken into the animal
system for two purposes shat every
school girl and school boy is supposed to
know, but grown folks seem to be entire
~ ignorant of it. The first is to repair
the ordinary wear and tear of the tis-
sues; the other is to keep up the tenn
perature of the body. Now, the first
is the most important at all times; the
second only requires looking after in
cold weather. Fruit and vegetables
are the best for the former, meat for
the latter. Hence, there is no actual
need foreating much meat at this time
of the year; when much of it is eaten it
heats the eater to such . degree that he
will be in perspiratiou constantly.
The meat that some people will eat
to-day would suffice for an explorer in
the Arctic regions. We make the
great mistake OF not taking into
account shifting circumstances in our
ways of living, and in no case do we
pay more dearly for it than in our eat
ing. Because meat is good thing in
midwinter, when the mercury stands at
zero, it does not follow that it is equal
" good in midsummer-in fact, the
logical conclusion is that it is Just the
reverse of good. Natures food is
quite sufficient for this season of the
year, when the climate is that of the
torrid zone, and it does not require
very much of this food to keep body
and soul together, as DR.. Tanqer has
shown. His example, followed in a
moderate degree, would greatly con-

duce to both the health and comfort of
most people. Frenchmen live to
great extent upon bread, vegetables
and light wines, while the Italian sub
sists almost entirely on maccaroni and
water. This is about as far as we
should advise anybody to carry abste-
miousness until the Clarendon Hall
experiment has proven beyond doubt
that air will do as well.-M. Y. GrapAjc.

of his wife, and his grief was so poignant
that his relatives deemed it expedient
to prevent him from being present at
the funeral. Returning to his house
late in the evening after the burial, and
entering his bedroom, he found to his
horror and CONSERVATION the lifeless
form of his wife, robed in its death
cerements, reclining ON the bier and
still awaiting interment. The widower

to it the salts held in solution. Nj.
H. N. Mosesly, in. a recent lecture BE-
fore the London Royal Institution,
thinks that even the primative -
must have been highly charged with
saline matters Of all kinds. When the
earth was still intensely heated, the
whole of the water now on its surfaSe
must have been present as gas il Its
atmosphere, at first no doubt dissoci-
ated, but afterward an aqueous vapor.

nekts were smoothed down to q uni

As the earth cooled the water con-
dmsed on the coolest spots from time
to time, boiled, and rose as vapor
again. Mr.. Malet conjectures that the
frst water formed on the earth's sur
fare may have been even as hot as
molten cast iron. At last permanent
seas were established. The waters of
these, heated to an intensely high
pressure, must have dissolved salts in
