Dietetic Fallacies.

1. That there is any nutriment in
beef tea made from extracts. There
is none whatever.
2. That gelatine is nutritious. 1t
will not keep cat alive. Beef tea
and gelatine, however, possess, GER
tain reparative power, we know not
what.
8. That an egg is equal to pound
of meat, and that every sick person
can eat eggs. Many, especially those
of nervous or bilious temperament,
cannot eat them and to such eggs
are injurious.
4. That, because milk is an impor-
tant article OF food, it must he forced
upon patient. Food that person
cannot endure will not cure.
5. That arrowroot is nutritious. 1t
is simply starch and water. useful as
restorative, quickly prepared.
6. That cheese is injurious in all
cases. 1t is, as a rule, contra-indi-
Gated, being usually indigestibIe ; but
is is concentrated nutriment. and a
waste repairer, and often craved.
z. That the cravings of patient
are whims, and should be denied.
The stomach often needs, Graves for,
and digests, articles not laid down
in any dietary. Such are, for example
fruit, pickles, jams. cake, ham or
bacon with fat, cheese, butter and
milk.
s. That an inflexible diet may be
marked. out, which shall apply to
every case. Choice of a given list of
articles allowable IN a given case
must be decided by the opinion of
the stomach. The stomach is right
and theory wrong. and the judgment
admits no appeal.
A diet which would keep a healthy
man healthy might kill sick man !;
and diet sufficient to sustain sick
man'would not keep well man alive.
Increased quantity of food, especially
of liquid, does not mean increased
nutriment, rather decrease, since the
digestion is overtaxed and weakened.
Strive to give the food in as cencen.
trated form as possible. Consult
the patients stomach in preference to
his cravings and if the stomach re-
jects certain article, do not force it.

A SWeetheart's Ingenuity.

"A minister who used to live here

once visited by another minister on
a Sunday, so he killed two ducks and
ordered his hired girl to dress and
cook them for dinner. The girl did
as she was told. but while the ducks
were roasting, her beau came and
made her a call. Being hungry and
tempted by the smell of the sizzling
fowl he seized one of the ducks and
ate it.
1.-THE girl was driven to her wits
end by this unlucky incident. She
was rather glad her beau had such a
nice dinner, but despaired of finding
an excuse to tell the minister-let's
call him Mr.. Brownie account for
the missing duck. When Minister
Brown came home to dinner with
visiting Minister Jones, the girl had
hit upon scheme. She asked her
employer to go out to the grindstone
which stood in the yard and sharpen
the carving knife. He went to work
on the knife at once, being hungry
for those ducks. The girl stole up
stairs and asked the visiting minister
to look out of the window.
"'See there = said she. Il came
up to give you warning. You little
know the danger you're in The man

"The girl succeeded in thoroughly
arousing the visitor, and he hastily
put on his hat and ran as fast as his
legs could take him.
"When he had ran several roads,
the girl called her master and asked
him what kind of man he had
brought home to dinner. The min
lister inquired why she asked. when,
pointing to the flying brother, the
girl exclaimed: There he goes run

A Terrible Episode.

Hungarian papers announce the
death of old Ference Renyi. a hero
of one of the most terrible episodes
of the Hungarian war of independ-
encs in 1S4S. For thirty-six years
Renyi has been a lunatic in Buda
Pesth asylum, and the history of his
sufferings is recorded after his death
by the Petit Parisien. Ference Renyi
was young shool-master of twenty
seven years at the beginning of the
war, proud, handsome and full of
buoyant life. His pupils adored him,
and he was always welcome among
the villages, whether he came with
his violin to play to their dances or
whether his voice was heard among
the patriots chanting the praise of
their country. He lived with his
mother and sister, and was engaged
to bright young Hungarian girl,
when the government, after pro-
claiming the independence of the
country. called all good patriots to
arms. Ference lett his school and
enlisted in the ranks. One day, after
haying fought yaliantly at the head
of detachment of soldiers, he was
taken a prisoner by the Austrians.
Brought before General Haynau,
Renyi refused to Indicate the place
where the rest of his regiment lay
hidden. On learning that his home
was in a neighb0ring village the
General sent for The mother and Sis
ter, and brough them into the room
where the prisoner was kept. "NoW
give me the Information require. if
the lives of these two women are
dear to YOU" said General Haynau
to him. Renyi trembled, his eyes
filed with tears, but he remained
silent. "Do not speak, my son."
cried the old mother. "do your duty.
and think not of me, for at the best
1 have only few days to live" "If
you betray your country" added his
sister, Tour name will be covered
with shame, and what is life without
honor? Do not speak, Ference. Be
calm; shall know how to die"
Renyi remained silent and a few
minutes later the two women were
dead. Another trial was to come.
General Haynau sent for Renyi's
future wife, who was weaker than
his mother and sister. With wild
cries the girl flung herself at her
lovers feet, pleading "Speak, Fere-
neZ. See, I am young. love you
do not let me be killed. You will
save yourself and me if you speak
out. When you are free we will go
far away and be happy. Speak, my
Ference, and save your future wife,"
She took his hands, clinging to him
as drowning man clings to his last
support. The young Hungarian was
choked with tears, but suddenly he
pushed the girl aside and turned
away. Once more she cried to him,
but he did not heed her. "Be ours
ed" she shrieked "be cursed. you
who let me die; you who will kill
me; you are my assassin" Renyi
remained silent. The girl was shot.
and the prisoner was taken back into
his cell. but his reason had fed. and
he vas dismissed. Some friends
found him and gave him a shelter;
till after Hungary was once more
suppressed and peace established,
they obtained place for him in the
asylum in which he has recently

The affidavit set forth in substance that
Jedediah Pratt exculpated John Holder an
tirely from committing any assault upon
him. It contained these words: 1.-THE last I
remember I had my pistol drawn on Mr..
Holder. He had not pulled his own from its
sheath. I remember falling and heard a
shot, and that is all + know"
"How has this paper been procured from
Pratt! What proof have We that he is in
his right mind and fit to say anything about
the matter?" was the district attorneys
sneering remark.
II believe" replied Blanche, that a great
deal of what Mr.. Pratt has been re-
ported to have said when not in his right
mind has been used here to-day against Mr..
Holder. However, to set doubts at rest re-
garding the value of the testimony I bring,
will the clerk please read this affidavit testi-

A hum of applause aud amusement at the

The jury were out but a very short time.
Many in the audience did not wait for the
verdict. They went out intent on visiting
Bull Bar and gaining a share in its riches.
The judge, psor man, squirmed uneasily in
his seat, gazing at the tantalizing humps Of
quartz and gold before him, and wishing
that he was free to head the rush which was
developing for Bull Bar. Already could we
hear the sound Of galloping hoofs as horse

their discharge by the judge. There was a
rapid fight from the court room. In ten
minutes it was empty.

her to the hotel, where she would stay that
night. 1t was late when the trial had con-
cluded. We were the sensation of the town

also, that my story as to Pratt's self-inficted
wounds would not pass with the crowd.
They held me as fully justified in shooting at
anyone to protect the claim by virtue Of the
amount Of wealth protected. Such was the
effect of luck, gold, and the presence Of
beauty. Men argued rather from their ex.

SILENT WITNESSES.

Broener anne up the next day and gave the
required bail for my appearance. l preferred
remaining in the county town to returning
to Bull Bar. There was but a week to wait,
as the county court then convened.
Zone thing troubles me very much," l said
to Broener; II can't give my story concerning
this matter without revealing in open court
the secret of the Banks whereabouts, and
then thereM be a general rush for the mine
from the whole county"
"Tve thought over that, :" he replied. "Of
course, you must tell the whole story, and
show in court rich specimens Of the quartz to
prove 1t. That, in fact, will be your strong
est defense. A miners jury will think such
a claim worth defending, with or without
Law. Let them swoop down on our ground.
AS I've told you before, the cream of that
particular vein we've taken out. It's only a
pocket W. can hold on to a hundred feet
or 50 anyway. I've put up notices claiming
such amount. The crowd will, of course,
take up all the quartz o~utcroppings they can
find far and near. ThereM be a tremendous
excitement for a time. But the masses know
nothing Of this sort Of mining. 1t will battle
them. They'll lose patience after a little.
There viii be a reaction. Fve-sixths will
abandon and give up their claims. The re-
mainder will persevere and eventually de-
velop this species of mining, which will be
come extensively followed. But that will
take time-years. So tell all about it. Don't
let that trouble you in the least"
My trial came on, and the case being called

member of the bar, for that purpose.
