Meat Versus Vegetable Diet.

The most plausible argument we have
seen offered against the vegetarians
for some time is contained in q recent
number of the Boston Journal Of Chem
iStry. 1t relates experiments of Pro-
fessor Hoffman, which tend to show that
far greater proportion of meat diet
is assimilated than of vegetable diet.
IT is said 1--WE must consider not mere
ly how much nutriment each ppts into
the body, but how much of ibkemains
there and how much goes to waste"
Professor Hoffman, fed-a servant on
vegetable diet and found that not one
half of the albuminous matter had
been digested. The same man was
next fed on beef, fat and flour, and
only ope-ffth of the albuminous sub
stance passed off as waste.
Experiments of other psychologists
are quoted that gave similar results.
The writer then concludes that "the
results of these experiments by inde.
pendent investigators evidently agree
in proving that O much larger fraction
of nutriment is utilized in the case of
animal than in that of vegetable food.
They go far toward knocking away the
very foundations of vegetarianism by
showing that our digestive apparatus is
better adapted to deal with the form or
than with the latter"
We ore not rated vegetarians and do
not take offense when arguments are
presented to refuse their tenets. But
we would like to know what constitutes
the true and proper food for man, and
we have inclined to the belief that hi,
! normal diet in the perfect state would
be vegetarian.
The experiments referred to by the
Boston Journal of Chemistry are not
oeicaIy conclusive. There is flaw in
the promises or lots of room for one.
The men experimental upon had in all
probability been raised upon miscel.
laneous diet and their digestive pow
ers are an unknown quantity, and SO
the experiments cannot prove much I'm.
til they are repeated upon q healthy
person who has been raised as a vege-
tartan. AS people are now, doubtless
meats are digested with less waste than
vegetables, and possibly it remains true
for everybody /; but to determine Just
how much advantage of this kind is tc
be credited to meat diet it will be neces
sary to make large number of careful
experiments upon fair specimens o.
meat eaters and vegetarians, trying eacl
on the different kinds of diet and con-
pairing the results. The animal king
dom furnishes abundant material fol
such investigation in different classe,
of carnivorous. and herbivorous domes
ticated animals, which field invites the
attention of practical psychologists who
desire to settle the question. .-Dr

A WOman's Romantic Life,

Elizabeth Hatzler, who died not long
ago in Philadelphia, was born in 1890,
at Landou, then one of the French DOS
sessions. and when twenty years of age
she married George Hatzler, a sergeant
of cavalry in the French army. While
yet enjoying their honeymoon the hus-
band was ordered to join the memor-
able expedition against Russia, and the
wife determined ~ go along. Mrs.
Hatzler was present at all the princi-
pal battles and at the burning of Mos
COW. After the promotion of her hus-
band to the rank of staff officer she
had many opportunities to see the en-
peror, and on several occasions con
versed with linn. An accident to he,
husband separated them from the main
body of the army at one time, and for
nine weeks she dragged him ou q hand
sledge over the frozen ground. Through
a guides treachery they were held pris-
oners by the Cossacks for nineteen
months. They were exchanged in time
to rejoin the French army and undergo
the sufferings and privations of the dis
astrous defeat which almost annihilated
Napoleon's forces. Through all these
viclssitudes the sex of the woman re-
NAMED undiscovered. Mrs. Hatzler

lived for twelve years on Fort Delaware,
while it was being built by Major San.

with this announcement the court was de-
clared adjourned.
The crowd quickly left the courtroom, and
the prisoner, gesticulating with his manacled
hands, was lod out. As he passed the report
ers' tables he leaned over and called out to an
acquaintance:
dThe court in banc will reverse this busi-
ness"
His appearance was that Of o man deeply
moved with indignation at some outrage or in
dignity which had been put upon him. As he
was being put in the van the crowd of men and

themselves boarse in mockery of the prisoners

| people are al! with NO."
The van was quickly driven away, followed
till it was out of sight by the jeers and yels of
| the crowd.
When Guiteau reached the Jail he seemed to
have recovered his spirits, il, indeed, he ever
| really lost them. He ate readily and seemed to
be sustained by the idea that the Almighty
would still protect him. At the same time he
said:
"if it is Gods will that I should go to the
| gallows, l am ready; but my name will &c
laundering down the ages"
The jury very quickly scattered to their
homes. One of them says that there was but
one ballot taken, and that showed that every
member of the jury had voted guilty. The
evidence which affected them more than any
other was that of Dr. Barnes, of New York. al
though they never believed that the prisoner
had made out case of insanity. The jury
would have been ready to return in five mn-
utes after they loft if they had not thought it

| longer. For that matter they were quite eady

trihing, without leaving their seats.
