Fruit or Meat?


Richardson in Loneman's Magazine.
The food which is most enjoyed is the food
We call bread and fruit. In my long medical
career, extending over forty years, | have
rarely known an instance in which a child has
not preferred fruit to animal food. I have
many times been called upon TO treat children
for stomachic disorders induced by pressing
upon them animal TO the exclusion of fruit
diet, and have seen the best results occur from
the practice of reyerting to the use of fruit in
the dietary. L say ii without the least preiu-
dice, as a lesson learned from simple exper-
fence, that the most natural dietf for the young,
after the natural milk diet, is fruit and whole
meal bread, with milk and water for
drink. The desire for this same mode
OF sustenance is often continued into
after years, as il the resort 10 flesh were .
forced and artificial feeding, which required
long and persistent habit to establish its per-
manency a part of the system Of everyday
life. How strongly this preference taste for
fruit over animal food prevails is shown by the
simple fact of the retention of these foods in
the mouth. Fruit is retained TO be tasted and
relished. Animal food, TO use a common
phrase. is ''bolted-" There is a natural de sire
to retain the delicious fruit for full mastication;
there is no such desire, except in the trained
gourmand. for the retention OF animal sub
stance. One further fact which have OBJ
served-and that too often to discard IL, as Q

hand only at the rein, the other hanging easily
at the side; if the rider has passable figure and
a little style about him, you have a picture
well to be fixed upon the mind of any gentle
man who desires to ride easily, gracefully and
well. This description is good. not only for
short rides and exhibitions, but for journeys on
horseback of hundreds of miles, as the writer
can from experience attest.
In the correct American style-(that distinc.
ton is used because We Of the United States
the Mexicans and South Americans all follow
the same general rules in riding,l the horse
man never permits himself to be tossed from OF
jostled in his seat, unless his mount goes down

episode he is always ready with the disengaged

knee-pressure and long stirrups come to the
add addition to the other reasons given fol-
using them. By having the firm seat tina,
style insures, and the long stirrups, enable q
man to use the whole length Of his legs in cling

horseman.
II the bit is right, one hand il all that should
be used at the rein on any horse. No person,
male or female, can ride easily or gracefully
with a bit that will permit the horse to pull or

To sum mp, the writer Is one who does not

was with me appeared to take great interest
in the affair, and was careful to learn the
womans name and address. We continued our
walk, and proposed to go into a newspaper
Office, the proprietor of which knew very well,
and tell the story of the accident He dissuaded
me from doing SO, saying that all the facts
would be obtained from the police stations, and
we separated. / found out afterward that he
had gone to the newspaper Office and given q
highly-colored account of the affair, dwelling
especially upon the severity OF the woman's in
juries. and the carelessness of the conductor
and driver, and had added that a suit for heavy
damages would be fled that the next day he
had called at the residence OF the injured lady
and had offered
TO BRING THIS DAMAGE SUIT,
assuring her that she would be under no ex-
pense and claiming one-half the amount which
he should get out of the company. His offer
was accepted the suit was brought, but be-
lieve the case was compromised by the payment
of sum far more than was deserved, for the
woman's injuries did not prove nearly so seri-
Gus as was at first supposed. When l learned
these facts my opinion OF that lawyer UNDER
went a very radical change, and have always
looked upon him with distrust ever since. I
used to send him business occasionally before

mo, suppose not; but every honest lawyer
will do his utmost to keep it down az much as
possible. A member of the bar once detected
in any such questionable transaction soon gets
the cold shoulder from the better class of his
associates, and it is not long before he drops
down to the level Of those who are known as
shysters. Once there, he can never regain
position among respectable attorneys. As I
said in the beginning, We have q smaller mum

For years "Abbey's luck" has been among
theatrical people the synonym for good for
tune. Everything that Henry E. Abbey has
managed has seemed to turn out prosperous.
and the risks he has sometimes taken have been
so rash that the conservative ones have at
tributed his success to blind luck and nothing
else. But however good Abbey's luck may
have been, the luck of his stars and artists in
recent years has been rather the opposite of
good in some respects. Miss Mary Anderson is
the third of Henry L. Abbey's great artists who
has succumbed to nervous or physical exhaus-
ton the past two years. EteIka .Gerster two
seasons ago, while under Abbey's manage
ment without warning went all to pieces in the
midst of one of her New York concerts and
was forced to leave the stage, to which she has
never returned. Then Josef Hofmann, the boy
pianist who had astonished the musical world
by his wonderful execution and style, suddenly
collapsed as Hat as the proverbial dish-rag, and
went home to Germany nervous wreck. And
now comes the news of Mary Anderson's ex-
haustion and her inability toperform again this
season. Mr.. Abbey still has left. among lesser
attractions, the great Adelina Patti and the
great Sarah Bernhardt Both will visit this
country before long, Patti being announces for
next fall 1t is to be hoped that the abbey
fate" which has apparently succeeded to the
former abbey luck" will not extend its dire
influence to these queens Of the stage.

Mrs. Langtry Caught On.
When Mrs. Langtry came for the

When Mrs. Langtry came for the first
time to this country she was wholly un-
acquainted with the American system Of
advertising, says the Baltimore Inlerl-
can. But she soon learned. The young
man who acted as her secretary for
many months after her arrival here
soon thought of writing such matter
for the press as would Justify its pub
lcation as news and at the same time
bring her more prominently before the
reading public.
One day he went to her and told her
both ends could be served at once.
She was indignant at the suggestion.
But he was determined to show her
that such things were often done.
| Time after time the opportunity pre-
sented itself and he told her how pub
lie curiosity could be aroused over any
one by a system OF newspaper notices.
After some time Mrs. Langtry regard
ed the plan with less disfayor and
finally consented that he should 90 to
work on his great scheme. He wrote
q column Of gossip that ought to have
4 been worth 81. so a line in any first
class newspaper, and took it to Mrs.
Langtry for revision. She would have
! slashed two-thrds of it out Of the
manuscript, but he made her leave the
sxpurgatlons to him.
Il shipped that story" said the ex-
secretary the other day, ''to several
hundred newspapers free of cost, most
of them in small town, through which
Mrs. Lantry would pass in her tour o.
the road. Every single newspaper.
except one, accepted and printed the
story. The proprietor of a small
patent inside in the interior of Ohio
returned the manuscript with the re-
mark that he would insert it as an adj.
