back then set in and the market finally closed

day.

Salt as an Article OF Diet.

The Importance OF salt as an article
OF diet, according 10 a scientific writer,
is overrated. A continued use Of large
quantities of salt viii produce scurvy.
Tho popular belief that an appetite for
salt is universal among the lower ami.
mails is without any foundation in fact.
Dogs, cats and other carnivorous ami
mails. show no fondRess for it, and the
same is true of the fruit-cating animals.
Even herbivorous animals do not eat
salt regularly with their food, but only
nj long intervals, which suggests the
thought that perhaps they take it as
yermifugc. In certain parts of the
world where salt is unknown antelopes
abound in countless numbers, and in
parts OF Africa where salt is abundant
the antelopcs show no fondness for it.
There are many instances in which
Coclls OF sheep and herds Of cattle have
been reared successfully without salt.
In certain parts OF Central Africa salt
is more scarce than gold, and 20 say
Oii'I NCi VAN ih''h Sht' o"lI - w y
that he is very rich. Yet the people
living there have existed for ages and
have enjoyed the best OF barblrous
health without using of salt from in
fancy TO old aga. Salt is not in use in
Siberia as "A common constituent OF
food, and the same was true of the
North American Indians previous to
the discovery Of the continent by the
Europeans, and for many years after,
and is still true of the Pampas Indians
of South America.

MRS. CLEVELAND.
How She Said She Felt About |
Leaving the White House.

1t was one morning in the red room
ana before the presidents plans were
settled, says n Washington letter to
the New York Times, that Mrs. Glove
land talked frankly and sensibly about
herself as mistress OF the white house.
IF our plans were fixed j should be
glad" she said. at would, of course, be
little relief TO know just where we
shall live. But | am sure people can
not understand hCw feel about leaving
the white house. They think it hard,
1 suppose, for me TO give up the life
here because | am young. But il is be-
cause ! am young woman that / feel
lass regret. II | had lived half Or the
Greater part Of my life before coming
TO the white house knew should have
more regret about leaving it. All Of
the women who have been here before
me were older than | am. Most of
them had a great deal Of womap's
life before called so this position, and |
think they must have been more sorry
to give it up than | can BE-. w, see, -
with smile OF charming franl1ucss, Il
have not had my life yet. 1t Is all
before me-thc real life and the
real homo. After my father diol wo
had no settled home, my mother and
myself. | was at school and then. you
know, soon after came TO the white
house. | can't tell you how much de-
sire a home OF my own. Oak View
has given some idea Of homo life, bat
even there | have felt that it was only
for n short time. Perhaps If this de-
sire had not grown stronger and
stronger | should feel more regret. As
II is | am not saddencd by the thought
of leaving the white house. One
thing, though, would make me very
sad-if any change should be made in
this beautiful house. 1t is 90 me, with
all its associations, tho most beautiful
house in the world. No other white
house could ever be the same 10 the
people, | am sure. If there must be
anything new let il be executive Of
fees, but never a new white house. 1t
Is not only the beauty of the old
house that Hove, but have a feeling of
reverence for its past. There has Seem
ed in the busy life here so little time
for me. to think of its history AMI the
people who have been hero before me.
But sometimes, when | am alone, ana
walk through the rooms and think OF
the men who have boon presidents an
of their wives the grand old house
gives me feeling OF awe. Oh, could
not bear TO think of il rs changed and
different after | leave it. | want to
think always of it as it is now and |
know 1.-THE white house of the pco-
pie and the presidents house"

Yellow Fever Again.

Several cases Of yellow fever have ap.
peared i'm Sanford, Florida. Sanford IS
only six miles from Enterprise, across the
lakes. where the fever ragged last year, and
there was uninterrupted intercourse be-
tween the two places. After the fever w $
subdued an attempt was made to dis;nfect
the place, but 1t was not thorough by any
means nothing ike the house TO house in-
spection and destruction of infected mater
i'll done elsewhere. After the government
ceased to pay for the articles destroyed
the destruction ceased, the people would
not give up their property unless paid for
IL. and in n great measure the insI ection
stopped. Sanford was visited by yellow
fever in 1887, when there were $50 cases,
the prese nee of which was concealed from
the authorities. That is the thing O,oot 70
be feared, suppression Of the facts,

hen and Now.

The Inauguration Of Il second Presi-
dent Harrison suggests a comparison Of
the changed conditions of the country
since the memorable inaug lrat!on Of the
first. Fo:ty-eight years is IA mere span
in the life Of nation. Indeed many
OF tho grandfather's associates have
survived to take part in the installa-
ton OF the grandson. Had he done so,
what memories would it have awak-
encd, what surprises would have met
him ut every turn. Then the whole
union comprised twenty-siX states with
a population 6 l7,0O0,00O; now it has
grown TO fOrty-twO states with popu-
lat'O of mHre than 6Q,00O,OOO, The
railroad mileage has increased from
2,SlS miles to about 100, 90, AID the
value of imports OF merchandise from
$S2, 00O,000 TO over 500, 100000, with
exports 20 match. Instead of IS, 46S
post-ofilces. Old Tippecanoe would now
see 55, l57, and would no doubt be puz-
zled to know how it is that letter is
now carried 5000 miles for one-third
the postage then charged for ten miles.
An overland journey from ocean to ocean
was then practically impossible, bu.
may now be made in less time and with
greater safety and comfort than ccdld
then be made from the Upper M.ssis-
c;Dpi TO Washington, The acreage
ocean voyage IN 1910 was tc Europe
22I days, return thirty-louT days. In
the year Of grace 1888 the round trip
may be made in two weeks with time
to spare, Slavery, which then covered
half tho nation and was still spreading
has been wiped out, and whole series
OF wonderful inventions OF which the
grand 'ather could have had no idea,
Including Geographic transmitters, tel
ephoncs, pcriecting presses, electric
| lights, palace coaches, etc, ere all
brought into requisition at the inaug-
ural Of the grandson. Suppose that in
the course of events u third Harrison
should be called to the White House
half century hence, will the America
of his day surpass this as much as this
does the America OF Harrison the First?

In Europe each nation justifies the
maintenance Of n large standing army
by the behavior of its neighbors, and
now the United States and Germany
are excusing themselves in similar
fashion for maintaining war ships in
Samoan waters, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The United States is to send
three vessels there in place of those
lost, for fear Germany may get the
upper hand, and the German naval
secretary explains to the Reichstag
that Germany must replace the wreck
ed German cruisers because the Unit
ed States is about to send out new
cruisers to the same station. If each
nation is to do what the other does,
why not come to an agreement TO dc
nothing, or to send only one vessel
each instead of three TO look after ma
;tional interests.
