A DIETARY BLUNDER.

Sir Henry Thompson SO Denominates the
Tse of Concrete Substances in Water.
Sir Henry Thompson writes: ''Most
people might naturally be aware that
the primary object of drink is to satisfy
the thirst, which means a craving for
the supply of water to the tissues the
only fluid they demand and utilize when
the sensation in question is felt. Water
is solvent of solids, and is more pow
erful to this end when employed free
from admixture with any other solid
material. It may be favored, 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 dissolving very quail
ity for which it was demanded-is in
greater part lost. SO plentiful is nutri-
ment in solid food that the very last
place where we should seek that quality
is the drink which accompanies the or
binary meal Here at least we might
hope to be free from an eXhortation to
nouIIsh ourselves, when desirOus only
to allay thirst or moisten our solid
morsels with a 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 devised combination even
for those of active habit, but for men
and women whose lives are little occu-
pied by exercise, it is one of the great
est dietary blunders which can be per
petrated. One would think it was
generally known that milk is pecul-
iarly nutritive fluid, adapted for the
fast growing and fattening young
mammal admirable for such, for our
small children; also serviceable to those
whose muscular exertion is great, and
when it agrees with the stomach to
those who can not take meat. For us
who have long ago achieved our full
growth and can thrive on solid fare,
it is altogether superauous and mostly
mischievous as drink. The Lancet.

ANOTHER NEW FEATURE.

Beginning with the enlargement of the Sun
day Journal, tomorrow, March /, we have the
pleasure to announce another entirely new feat
ure for this locality, in which the reading pub
lie will be greatly interested We have effected
arrangements for the exclusive publication in
this section of q series Of eight short novels by
eight of the greatest living English novelists.
These stories will be published from advance
sheets, simultaneously with their appearance in
England Tho writer's are the following emf
nent novelsts: William Black, Miss Braddon,
Rhoda Broughton, Wilkie Collins, Thomas Hardy,
Joseph Hatton, Mrs. Oliphant "Ouida.' It is
seldom that stories from such an imposing
array of authors OF the first rank are pub
iished by any one newspaper, and
the Journal deems itself fortunate in being able
to secure that which will crafty all the patrons
of the paper, and reflect additional credit on its
own enterprise and energy. Coming almost
Immediately upon the heels of the arrangement
entered into ON the first of the year for the
series OF short stories by American authors for
our Saturday edition, we feel certain that this
new and brilliant feature will add greatly to the
esteem in which the Indianapolis journal is held
by its friends and patrons. Every ono who
reads is acquainted with Blacks charming and
graphic descriptions of nature in her most
picturesque phases and grandest forms; with
Gfiss Braddon's fascinating and absorbing pro.
ductions, which lose nothing Of their interest by
remaining always within the range of possibility;
3Sith Rhoda Broughton's tender and realistic
portrayals Of feminine character, and
PEith the intricate and mysterious mazes

THE COMING ADMINISTRATION.

The New York World, while acknowledging
the fact that certain mugwumps voted for
Cleveland "because he represented clean gov
eminent and reformed civil-service," blandly
informs their excellencies that to where one
mugwump voted for Cleveland with that idea
a thousand Democrats supported him for the
same reason. From this it is easy to argue
that mugwumps should not be too officious
on and after March 4. It is consistent, too, to
insist that Clevelands administration must be
Democratic to the core, withoutany admixture
of mugwump nonsense. The World pleads,
and with reason, too, that the friendship Of
the mugwumps cost Cleveland about as many
votes as they brought to him. This is in the
nature of gall in the cup of satisfaction of the
delectable few who did all in their power to
assist in the defeat Of the Republican candi-
dates; but that they will have to drink it no
one can doubt. The World want an admins
tration distinctly, thoroughly, uncompromis-
ingly Democratic in all its political features"
This is exactly what the mugwump does not
want. Later on he will get accustomed to it.
The Sun joins with the World in decrying
the undue influence expected to be welded by
the few Republican kickers who committed
hari-kari to spite themselves. Speaking of
Carl Schurzs visit to Albany, the Sun rants
about him as "a man Of talent" but who sold
himself to Satan when he Client himself to the
service of an unlawful ruler" The Sun is
atrabilious on this point. Its symptoms are
those Of rabies, if one might imagine Schurz
possessed of aqueous qualities. '.No doubt"
says the Sun, 'Mr. Schurz contributed to the
success of the Democratic party in the recent
election. If he should continue to labor for
the Democracy, year in and year out all the
remaining years Of his life, he would not at
the end have atoned for the great political
crime to which he made himself so conspicu-
ously accessory So runs the world of graft
tude away. The Democratic ak has been
given an edge-a Democrat will do the cutting,
according to Democratic ideas. Mr.. Schurz
and others who so industriously and so labori-
ously turned the stone, must now scamper off
to school, and keep clear out of the way.

WE are informed that bill will be intro
dueed into the House readjusting the man
agement of the Knightstown institutions, so
as to constitute board of trustees for the
Soldiers Orphans Home, the effect of which
will be to legislate the present trustees out of
Office. That this should be done will go
with the saying, after the reading of the
report Of the investigating committee as pub
lished yesterday. We take the liberty of sug-
costing that it would be eminently fit and
proper that the newly contemplated trustees
should be honorably- discharged ex-Union
soldiers, whose interest in and care
for the orphans of their comrades in arms
would be stimulated by sacred memories and
by true and tried loyalty and devotion. Ger
tainly with such a proviso, the bill would read
lily pass both branches of the Legislature, and
the Knightstown Home be rescued from the
awful disgrace and shame into which it has
fallen.

an enviable position in the front rank of modern
novelists Hatton, whose keen intellect and
knowledge of humanity has placed him at the
head of the best correspondents liz the world, is
as well known as his writings are popular, and is
well qualified by his ingenuity and originality to
take place in this remarkable collection of lead
ing noyelists. The cultured and refined works
of Mrs. Oliphant need no expatiation, for to have
read her once is enough to make watch with
eager interest for new creations of her gifted
mind; and "Ouida," with her scathing social
satres, her simple and natural stories Of aSrestic
love, and her ravishing abandon, is praised by
some, censured by others and read by ALL" The

which will be published tomorrow, is entitled
"a Rainy june and is from the pen of ''Ouida."
This will appear in three weekly parts. 1t is
written in the form of letters interchanged by
several people in Italy and England, and its sub,
ject is international marriage, as it appears-the
favorite theme of Henry James, only that we
have here the Italian noble and the English girl

THE city hall bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Schmidt, sets forth number of
preambles, to the effect that the Tomlinson
fund cannot be used except for the building
of city hall, etc., and lot OF other cheap
twaddle that has been in.the mouths of the
gang interested in foisting job on the already
overburdened tax payers of Indianapolis.
On motion of Mr. Jameson, this string of
whereases was referred to the committee on
the Judiciary to inquire into the truth of the
facts asserted The committee last night
found that the facts were not facts, and struck
out the preamble, but will recommend the
passage of the bill. The untruthful
ness of the preamble shows that the
whole measure was conceived in sin
and brought forth in iniquity, and
it should be stamped upon at once.
The building of market house, with Offices
for the officials necessarily connected with the

wanted is desire on the part of the Council

properly be done with the money on hand, and
not start in on an enterprise which
will cost q half million dollars before it is
completed, and be an elephant on our hands
when it is done. If the advice of the Journal
and other papers speaking for the tax payers,
had been taken, the markethouse would
be occupied now, and this everlasting 'Tom-
linson fund" matter finally and forever dis
posed of.

Cleyeland's Action Thought Premature.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Feb 27.-There has been q
good deal of talk to-day about the black eye
given Presidentelect Cleveland on the silver
question. The action of the House is con-
sidered by men in both parties as reputation
of Mr.. Clevelands judgment on at least one
question, and it is believed that it will weaken
him before the creative branch Of the NATIONAL
Legislature.
1t is known that extraordinary efforts have
been made by Mr.. Cleveland to have something
done to stop the coinage of silver. First he
wanted Congress to repeal the coinage law.
Finding that he could not secure that CONSUME
nation, his second move was to have sufficient
power delegated to himself to stop the coinage
Since Congress had, through the COM
mittee on coinage, weights and meas
ures refused to repeal the coinage act.
the Presidentelect was willing to assume all the
responsibility of putting a stop to it if he was
only given the authority. The prompt manner
in which the House disapproved of this was q
surprise to everybody. 1t was not generally bo-
lieved that so many Democrats would have tho
courage to oppose the wish of the incoming OK,
ecutive, and that they have asserted it, it ia
presumed some of them will have THAR wings
clipped in the matter Of federal spoils.
Opponents of the proposition to stop Che
coinage OF silver are charging openly. to- day.
that Mr.. Cleveland is in the control, already, Of
Wall street, and that every movement he has
made on the subjects of finance and commerce
showed him to be controlled by New Workers..
Considerable feeling is the result of the whole
matter among extreme Southerners and West
erners. They think the new President is start
ing in on Congress entirely too early.

that the Democratic county of Washington,

tive as has the voter of Kosciusko. No wonder
