A Dietary Blunder.

Most persons might naturally be
aware that the primary object of drink
is to satisfy the thirst, which means a
craving for the supply of waters to the
tissues-tho only mud they demand and
utilize when the sensation in question
is felt. Water is a solvent OF solids,
and is more powerful to this end when
employed free from admixture with any
other solid material. 1t may be flaw
ored, as in tea and otherwise, without
impairing its solvent power, but when
mixed with any concrete matter, as in
chocolate, thick cocoa, or even with
milk, its capacity for dissolying-the
very quality for which it was demanded
is in great part lost. So plentiful Is
last place where VIC should seek that
quality Is the drink which accompanies
the ordinary meal.
Here at least we might hope TO be free
from an exhortation to nourish our
selves, when DESTROYS only to allay
thirst or moisten our solid morsels with
n draught Of fluid. Not so; there are
even some persons who must wash down
their ample slices of roast beef with
draughts of new milk-an unwisely de
vised combination even for those of
active habit, but for men and women
whose lives are little occupied by exer-
else it is M Of the greatest dietary
blunders which car be perpetrated
One would think II vas generally
known that milk is a peculiarly nutri
tive fluid, adapted for the fast growing
and fattening young mammal-admira-
bic for such, for our small children,
also seryiceable to those whose muscular
eSert.on is great, and, when it agrees
with the stomach, to those who can not
take meat. For us who ha e long ago
achieved our full growth and can thrive
on solid fare, it is altogether super1uous
and mostly mischievous as a drink.

GovERNoN MAnrIN. of Kansas. col

GOVERNOR MARTIN, of Kansas, con-
tinues to be scared lest the Arapahoes and
Cheyennes have not been properly paci-
fed. He is OF the opinion that the people
Of Kansas will not be able to get their
regular sleep o nights until the Indians
have all been disarmed. The governor
then takes the trouble to insist that he has
no interest in the cattle leases. If the
latter statement is absolutely true, Gov
ernor Martin Is displaying an undue
amount of with very little
cause. Gen. Sheridan, who may be sup
posed to know the exact state of affairs
much better than Governor Martin, de
clares there is no danger of an outbreak if
the cattlemen ARE compelled to leave the
territory. As the president is taking the
necessary steps to insure the removal of
the trespassing herds, the people of Kan
sas can rest assured that their scalps are
entirely safe, no matter how badly Cover
nor Martin may be scared.

THE PARTNER OF RALsToN.

America.

NAhl. ihhiirl4lAi itr.af
According TO n Of the monuments
Of the spirit of American energy and
enterprise. albeit embodied in n mar Of
doubtful reputation. is the railroad that
connects Mollendo, u port of + crn. with
Lake Titicacn- his lake is the highest
body Of wator in the world, living in a
great basin between two ranges of the
Continental Cordilleras, 10, 900 feet
above the sea.
on the bosom Of this wonderful lake
Is the island the Eden of the western
world-where tradition says Nance
Capac and Mama Capac, the Adam and
Eve oil the Inca race. were born. From
this little garden sprang a race that has
never been surpassed in industry and
will always furnish the most interesting
topic OF study -antiqnarians and philoso-
pliers have ever known. Here are the
magnificent temples and palaces which
Prescott describes with such a vivid pen
and which Pitarro stripped Of their
treasurer.
The man who built the railroad was
Harry Meiggs, the partner of Ralston,
tho California banker, who drowned
himself in the Golden Gate: the friend
OF Flood, O'Brien, Mackay, Sharon, and
one Of the princes OF the golden era Of
40. Bret Harte has written of him,
and Mark Twain has used him rs a text
He committed forgeries in San Francisco
years ago, and when his crime was dis
covered, took a boat and rowed Out into
the bay, as Ralston did twenty years
a%fterward, but, instead Of jumping over
board. he climbed upon the deck Of a
schooner, purchased her, and sailed
away from the scene of his remarkable
career.
He went to Chill first, and then came
TO Perm, bringing much of his wealth
and all Of his irresistible energy which
he applied to the difficulties that had
staggered this country, and overcame
them. From Ecuador to Patagonia,
through Peru, Bolivia and Chill, his en-
teTprise extended, and the result is a
sepies Of railroads at right angles with
the coast, connecting the interior of the
country with the seaports, and giving
the estates and the mines in the noun
tains. the sugar haciendas and the nj
trate teds, easy outlets to the ocean.
He sent back money to California, to
reimburse those who had lost by his
forgeries, with good interest, but re-
NAMED there till he died, one of the
richest, most influential and famous
men on the coast.

The cattlemen who lately visited Presi-
dent Cleveland in the hope that he would
be induced to treat his forty-day procla-
nation as a glittering generality, have
gone home with a very large sized flea in
their ears. President Cleveland means
business, and they are aware of it now.
The remainder of the forty days will be
devoted to rounding up the 200 1000 head
of cattle which are on the reservation ron
trary to law, and driving them to some
place where Indians come not and Gen.
Sheridan is not likely to interfere. THE
time has come for every man to cut his
own wheat was the remark Of one of the
cattle owners after the short, sharp and
decisive interview with the president, and
that remark has been adopted rs the
motto of all concerned There will be no
more monkeying with the Cleveland
buzz saw on the part Of the cattle kings.

Tho Guanaoo OF North Patagonia.
fCor. san Francisco Chronicle


The guanaco is very similar to the
llama. They roam the plains in great
numbers and are the mainstay Of the
Indians. The weight Of a full-grown
one is $50 pounds, and their flesh is
equal to the finest beef. The hair on
the old ones is quite long and badly
matted, but IN the young it Is about
two inches long, very thick, fine and
silky. On the back and sides it Is col.
ored, but the breast is white. Tho In.
dams cut the skins so that the white
forms some regular figure, and several
Of them arc re uired to make a robe
about seven feet SQUARE. The tribes in
the south Of Patagonia salt the skins
and afterward rub them soft, but along
the Plata they a them by some process
that makes the inside rcd. They sell
for from SIS to $25. Robes made from
the skin of the American ostrich are
also TO be obtained. These are very
beautiful, the feathers being very thick
and soft, but they are easily spoiled.

CURE ron

Piles arc frequently preceded BY a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the

fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
