NethOd I'm His Madness.

One of the most remarkable char
acters Cincinnati ever saw Is dead.
1t was DIR. Joseph Garretson, of fwest
Eighth street. For sixty-two years
of his life he never drank a cup Of
coffee nor slipped little tea. For
fifty years Of his life he ate no meat.
For twenty-six years Of his life he
never took 80 much as a pinch OF
salt. He came of English stock
and was born in that county of
long lived people, York, Pa, Feb.
27, 1903. His ideas were very sim
pie, but on the subject Of diet he
believed strictly IN vegetarian diet.
Nature he used to say, has sup
piled this food, and it is against ma
ture when man eats meats. To
those who would eat meat, how
ever, he insisted shat 1t should be
boiled. He used to point to the In
dians as proof Of this, claiming that
they were never SICK unless from
wounds. He trusted no cooks to
prepare his food, but did it himself.
When he went upon a journey he
took his food with him, only a few
weeks before his death he was in
New York city, going the entire dis
tance with his food. He claimed
that everything greasy was iniuri-
Gus to the human system, and OF
all things horrible was a piece OF
meat fried. Dyspepsia and all the
ghost s and Nightmares ofindigestion
he attributed to frying. His only
drink during his long life was water,
or sometimes Il lemonade. He was
continually experimenting on the
subject of diet, and attributed his
long life entirely to his diet and
habits.

Revenge is Sweet.

China should offer fine field for
newsgatherers. Here is an item
from North China News: One day

pened to knock down and slightly
injure the front door ofa Mrs. Wang.
The latterat once proceeded to claim
damages, which were refused, where
upon fierce alteration ensued,
which terminated in Mrs. Wang
threatening To take her own life.
Mrs. Feng, upon hearing of this
dreadful threat resolved at once to
take time by the forelock and steal Il
march upon her enemy by taking
her own life, and thus turn the
tables upon her. She accordingly
threw herself In the canal.
