Method ii HIS Madnsss.

One of the most remarkable char
acters Cincinnati ever saw is dead.
It was Dr.. Joseph Garretson, OF
west Eighth street. For siAty-two
years Of his life he never drank a cup
Of coffee nor slipped q little tea. For
fifty years ot, his life he ate no meat.
For twenty-six years of his life ne
never took so much as a pinchI OF
salt. He came of Englishstock, and
was born in that county OF long
lived people, York, Pa, Feb. n,
1908. His ideas were very simple,
but on the subject of diet he believed
in a vegetarian diet. Nature, he
used to say, has supplied this food,
and it is against nature when a man
eats meat. To those who would eat
meat, however, he insisted that
it should be boiled. He used
to point to the Indians as proof
OF this, claiming that they were never
sick unless from wounds. He trust
ed 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 en-
tire distance without his food, He
claimed that everything greasy was
injurious to the human system, and
Of all things horrible was a piece of
meat fried. Dyspepsia and all the
ghosts and Nightmares ofindegestion
he attributes to frying. His only
drink during his long life was water,
or sometimes q lemonade. He was
continually experimenting on the
subject of diet, and attrib uted his
long life entirely to his diet and ha-
hits -Cincinnafi EnuI1irerz

Some time ago two German girls
landed in New York, bound TO: Chi
cago, and were told by a runner, one
of their own countrymen, that they
could get tickets IS cheaper outside
the Garden. They went with the
runner, and each paid him $50. He
took them up to the elevated rail-
road station, gave them two Scent
tickets, and bade them goodby for
Chicago. Neither girl could speak a
word of English, and when they got
to Harlem it was some time before
they could be made to understand
that they had been swindled.

A food of immigration is making for the
Oklahoma locality, which is to be opened to
settlement on the 22d inst. The mail mat
ter received daily at the offices of all St.

The concerted action of river land settlers
to forcibly regain possession of lands from
which evictions were made last f%allcontinues
uninterrupted. Three additional farms
from which occupants were elected last fall,
were seized by sturdy farms and crops sown

lrmy OF Inen and elms with machinery and
seeds will make u tour of the entire river
land district and SOW crops wherever eyic-
tions have been made. The excitement at
tendant on this bold action of the settlers
has been greatly heightened by the proposed

May Pluck Opulent Americans.

In view of the present financial
gloom which overshadows the peo-
pie of France and especially ofParis,
it is suggested for the comfort of
such speculative Frenchman as have
been squeezed in the Panama Canal
collapse, or the copper syndicate
failure, that a great many Americans
are going to the Paris Exposition
during the coming summer, and their
presence with plenty Of money to
spend will enable unlucky French
men to recoup themselves.

Requirements of a Sexton.
Baltimore News.

Baltimore News.
Gas one who has considerable ex-
perience with sections, I can say
that it requires as much talent, or
rather adaptation for the business,
to be a good sexton as it does to be
a minister" remarked one OF the
ministers at the recent N. E. confer
ence at Grace church to the scribe
who was industriously noting down
it's proceedings. "When the man is
suited for the position everything
moves like clockwork, and the church
has q treasure. But the church ia
not always so blessed. There is the
fidgety sexton. He is always doing
something to unnecessarily attract
attention. When the minister is in
the middle of his discourse, and all
eyes and ears are fixed on him, up
starts the sexton from the other
end of the church to march up the
middle aisle. He distracts every
body, even the minister himself, and
everybody wonders what it is all
about, but nobody will ever know.
He don't know himself. Then there
is the lazy sexton. He hangs about
the vestibule during service, and is
never on hand when wanted. People
are not seated, and they go away
complaining about the manage
mentof the church. The good SEX
TOMS one of the strongest pillars OF
the church. He has it in his power
to make the church popular by the
attention he shows to strangers as
we'll as to the members. If he is a
little vain and proud Of his position,
so much the better. tt does not
hurt any man to- have some pride in
his position. Take it all in all, the
position Of sexton in d modern
church is much more important than
most persons imagine
