hinsky is. a young healthy POlander, with
IN abundance OF animal spirits, about 81
years of age, and has been a soldier some
ten months. He has been on duty at the
Garfield tomb some two months 1t is
said that the melancholy madness from
which he is suffering is caused by the
diseased line of thought incident TO the
weird monotony of tomb and mound that
the guard experiences at his post at the
grave. Kashinskys talk and actions
since his mind has given way is said to
carry out this idea of the cause of his
trouble. Other men in the guard have
been affected by the same fear. and some
of them have resorted to drink to drown
their fears and trembling This is the
third man of the Tenth Infantry that has
gone to the bad since the guard has been
on duty at the late presidents grave
About year ago William Fogerty. an old
and excellent soldier of Company K, was
taken to Fort Wayne. Detroit. court
martialed, dishonorably dismissed from
the service and imprisoned for year for
drunkenness. Not long after, Michael
Fox, of Company K, shared the same
fate, and was imprisoned for a month,
with loss of pay for another month. for
mtoxication while on duty at the tomb.
Gen. Hancock afterward removed Foyer
tvs disabilities, and he was reinstated.
Neither returned to Lake View cemetery
for duty, and thus got, by hard road,
what they soGght-to be relieved. All
dreaded the duty at the tomb.

A vegetarian reports to the British
Medical Journal the result of this years
experience without meat At first he
found the vegetables insipid, and had to
use sauces and pickles to get them down.
As soon as he became accustomed to the
diet all condiments were put aside except
a little salt. The desire for tobacco and
alcohol left him spontaneously. Then all
his digestive functions became regular,
and he found himself wholly free from
headaches and bilious attacks. After
three months troublesome rheumatism
left him and at the end of a
year he had gained eight pounds in
weight. He believes he can do more
mental labor than before and that ali his
senses are more acute For breakfast he
has brown bread, apples, and coffee,
dinner consists of two kinds of of vege-
tables, brown bread, and pie or pudding;
for tea he rejOices in bread and jam;
