Life Oh Sixpence a Day.

An English author has written
pamphlet telling how life and health
can be enjoyed on diet costing only
sixpence day, which would be
about twelve cents of American
money. 1t is not the pamphlet which
we have now before us, but letter
from DR.. T. R. Atkinson to the London
Times, in which he says that he has
lived for a month on a purely vege-
;arian diet, doing his usual amount of
work, and even gaining in weight.
His breakfast consisted of a porridge
made of mixture of wheatmeal and
,atmeal, bread fried in refined cotton
sed oil and cup of cocoa. For din
uor he had a thick vegetable soup
with bread, potato pie, vegetarian pie,
vegetable stew, stewed rice and
tomatoes, followed by a dessert of
plum pudding, stewed rice and fruit,
baked sage, tapioca and apples, stewed
prunes, figs and raisins. At tea he ate
bread and jam and stewed fruit. He
would not have us understand that he
ate all these things with each meal,
but the above was the bill of fare from
which he could pick and choose. He
thinks there is more nutrition in such
diet than in the use of flesh, which
contains 20 per cent. of water.
Furthermore, he speaks correctly in
charging that The heterogeneous sub
stance of flesh taxes the liver, kidneys
and lungs, and induces bilious troubles,
hcmorrhoids, stomach catarrh, gall
stones. rheumatism and govt He
thinks that the increase of cancer may
be traced to excessive meat Diet

A Singular Tree.

You will be astonished when l tell
you of tree, the bark and leaves of
which are marked by nature with al
phabetic images in the language of
Thibet. 1t is called the b" tree of ten
thousand images" l will give you
the legend and the description of the
tree:
Far away in the dreary land of Am.
DO, part of Thibet, is a green valley,
in which, in Tartar tent, was born a
wonderful boy named Tsong-Kaba.
From his birth he had long, white
beard, and flowing hair, and could
speak perfectly his native tongue.
His manners were majestic, and his
words wero few but full of wisdom.
When he was three years old, he re-
solved to cut off his hair and live
solitary life. So his mother shaved
his head, and threw his long, flowing
locks upon the ground outside their
tent door. From his hair sprang the
wonderful tree.
Tsong-Kaba lived many years, did
countless good deeds, and at last died.
But the tree which had grown from his
hair lived on, and they called it the
stree of the ten thousands images"
and at last accounts, it was still alive,
and much care was taken of it. The
people built high walls of brick
around it, and an emperor of China
sheltered it beneath silver dome.
Two French missionaries saw this
tree some years ago, and they say that
it seemed then to be very old. 1t was
not more than eight feet high: but
three men with outstretched arms
could scarcely reach around its trunk.
The branches were very bushy, and
spread out just like plumes of feathers,
The leaves are always green, and the
wood, which was of a reddish tint, had
an odor like that of cinnamon. The
bark of the tree was marked with
many well formed symbols in the
Thibetan language: alphabetic charac-
tiers also appeared in a green color, on
every leaf, some darker, some lighter,
than the leaf itself.
Now all this seems marvellous, and
some of it more than we can believe;
but the missionaries actually saw the
tree, and were fully convinced that the
marks upon it were of natural growth.

Hitch in the Treaty,

Dispatches from Shanghai state that there is
a hitch in the final arrangements for the exc
cution of tho definite treaty of peace between
France and China, owing TO some concessions
which China asks and which NJ Patenotre, the
French ambassador, refuses to grant.
A Hong Kong dispatch to the Times states
that the difficulty encountered in adjusting the
terms of the treaty of peace between China
and France is found to be of such a serious ma
ture that the French government is seriously
considering the advisablity Of substituting NJ.
Bouree for NJ. Patentore, the present French
envoy nj Pekin, in the negotiations.

As matter Of fact, nothing, We believe, has

may be wiser and better in tho long run than

Council at Rome,

Before leaving Paris for Rome, several Of
the Irish bishops who are going to attend the
congress there expressed their conviction that
they had been convoked only to discuss mat
tiers of an internal ecclesiastical nature. Poll
tics would be excluded from discussion at the
propaganda palace. A reliable correspondent
in Rome telegrnphs that the bishops have
already protested strongly to the propaganda
against Cardinal Manning being allowed to
interfere in Irish ecclesiastical matters, as his
pro-English political leanings prevent his TAX
ing an impartial view of the question. The
cardinal was anxious TO visit Rome with Bishop
Vaughan of Stafford, but, under the circunl-
stances, he is likely To remain in London.
