AS a rule the meat eater lives more
rapidly thanthe vegetarian, is much more
likely to overfeed and give his excretory
apparatus too much to do, and so far is
more liable to disease. This is a matter
he should take into consideration, for
there is no doubt that most of us eat too
much meat for continuance of health,
especially so if the animal has not
beer carefully fed and nurtured, and
properly killed, with sufficient loss of
blood. 1t is here probably, and in insult
ficiento or improper cooking and keeping,
that danger from ptomaines (cadaveric
alkaloids-alkaloids which form in a
dead animal body arises. These are
probably most dangerous in badly killed
and cooked meats on the second, third
and fourth days.-Professor E. NJ. Swan

creased so fast as those here enumerated, but it is certain that those also have gained faster than the general popula- tion. It is estimated that the number of
 insane persons within the state of Massa- chusetts. if all could be now accurately
 enumerated, would exceed 6,5OO persons.
 There is reason to believe that the eX-
 perience of Massachusetts is not unique
 in this respect. From other states comes the same story, indicating that there is something wrong in our methods of living. In our own state the increase
 of insanity has been steady and
 rapid, but already the state institution at
 Middletown has outgrown it's capacity to care for all the insane who need treat
 ment there. There has not been a year | since 1882 when the larger towns | have not been compelled to seek accom-
 modations elsewhere for a portion of l their insane, owing to the Overcrowded
 condition of the state asylum, and some | of them have been obliged to care for insane persons in their own almshouses where there are no advantages of treat
 ment or accommodation. New Haven l has always of recent years had a num- l Der of insane in excess of her quota which could be accepted by the state asylum, and efforts have been made by Town Agent Reynolds at various times | to impose upon the townspeople the | necessity of having some sort of an asy- | lum of their own where the insane of
 the town could be cared for. His efforts have not been successful, but if insanity increases as rapidly in the next ten years as it has in the past it is more than likely that his idea will be carried into l effect and something of the kind be done. The increase of insanity shown during recent years is strong evidence that we
 are living and working too fast and the | tendency to this demoralizing rapidity | is increasing every year. Americans | take too little time from the pursuit of | wealth and sanity. What doth it profit l man if he gain the whole world and lose his reason, that divine gift which
 raises him above the beast and makes | him a master of creation? It would be | well if in the mad whirl of business and 1 the excessive indulgence of the baser l impulses men would remember that
 they are ever skirting the hills that hide
 the madhouse and learn to take life
 easier and practice moderation ill all
 things. Unless they do the increase of
 insanity noted in recent years will not
 be checked, but will go on growing
 greater every year until it taxes all our
 resources to deal with the terrible prob l lem

 This manner of buying piano may seem queer to some readers, but we assure you business has been done vita us exactly on this plan, while some agents chase customers meeting them ct every cross road in season and more often out of season, until the customers are afraid their com panions will think they are in debt to the agents Shoninger by honorable straight forward dealings steps in and makes the sale.

Kissing in America.

Americans have reduced kissing to its minimum as q social feature compared to any other nation except the English. The English kiss less than we do that is, their women are not so gushy in manner as ours, and don't kiss such big range of incidental feminine acquaintances and their children are kept more out of sight and so don't get kissed so much. But the French have one advantage of us both that probably about balances the fact that their men kiss occa- sionally. They kiss the cheek habitually. Here it is very funny to watch women about the cheek business. You just notice the next time you see bevy of them meet. It Is per. fectly obvious to the meanest capacity that, as a rule, they don't want to kiss each other They all long to get out of it, and each tries to modify the discomfort of contact by dabbing at the cheek of the other; but, at the same time, there is such a general feeling that turning the cheek is a slight that, nobody will do it, and the result is a very clumsy nose pumping match. It is Q pity that 1t should not come to be understood that 1t is not slight, but pretty social form for one woman to turn to another first one cheek and then the other to be kissed It would save them great deal, for no one can compute the amount of suffering women en- dure kissing each other "becauSe 1t is ex pected." One would think that their mar tyrdom would make them alive to the mis- cries of their offspring from the same cause, but it doesn't seem to. Why does any one want to kiss screaming, kicking, protesting babya Does anybody want to2 Do people do it to flatter the mother?

THE ANNENATIONO OF CUBA,

While the press of the north and the statesmen at the national capital are speculating as to the possibilities and probabilities of political or commercial union with Canada some of the southern people are turning their attention to the transfer of the island of Cuba to the United States. Our commercial rela- and business men generally, as well as importers of sugar in this country, are of the opinion that the transfer would be good thing and would be welcomed by the inhabitants of Cuba The effect of Cuban annexation, how ever, it is believed would be injurious to the sugar producers of the south, as Cuban sugar would then come into the states free of duty.
 It is urged by the Atlanta Constitu- tion, which has given some cOnsidera- tion to the matter, that there are some very difficult problems involved in the talk of annexation. If this country does not purchase Cuba it is probable that Spain will some day sell the island to Germany or England. This, of course, would not be submit ted to by our government. It could not hear to either of these powers securing a place of such vantage in case of hostil- ities ever arising between them and the United States. But. in the event of the annexation of the island to this country, what then? Shall we cut it up into states and put them through a recon struction mill? At time when the race problem engages so much of ou1 attention, whsn our statesmen are wrest- ling with the question of assimilating the African and Caucasian races in the south, would it be good policy to increase its difficulties by adding two millions ot Spaniards, Cubans, negroes and mon grels to our population? Would it be good policy to give such motley lot g voice in the formation of our govern ment, the enactment of our laws anC the settlement of the questions that en gage the public mind?
 It is evident that the question of an nexing Cuba presents difficulties dis : tinctly different from those which attacl to the question of union with Canada.

A DOGS DEVOTION.
The Dukes Only Companion in Prison
 and NIourner at His Death.

The Dukes Only Companion in Prison
 and Mourner at His Death.
 The Due d'Enghien had a spaniel which passionately lamented over his death, and we wonder if Napoleon suffered any qualms of remorse when he read of it fercely bemoan- ing its masters untimely fate in the moat of Vincennes. At the first halt the Duo dEnghien's abductors made, their prisoner requested them to send back to Ettenheim for his "dog and his clothes" He did well to ask for his dog, for at Strasburg Napoleon had ordered that his friends and servants were to leave him. His dog. however, since it lacked "the divine power to speak words," was not included in the order. In the brief days of life which remained to him, this speeches. friend his only com panion, went with him a prisoner to Paris, and entered Vincennes at his heels. On his arrival there he was depressed, and his dog sided up to him, and Lamartine says: 1.-The spaniel which he had kept by his side the whole route rested his head on his masters knee" The dog beguiled him out of dark thoughts of his doleful prospects, his spirits rose and he left the window, out of which he had been disconsolately staring, and called his dog to share his supper with him. The faithful creature was on guard beside him when one midnight he was aroused from his sleep to appear before his judge. The duke, sure of his innocence, went to the mockery of a trial with sanguine hopes of a speedy re- lease He did not know that during his trial his grave was being dug. After leaving the judgment hall the prisoner, still unsuspicious of the haste to fulfill the sentence from which he expected a pardon, was talking to Lieut. Noiret, a soldier who had known his grand father, the prince of Condo. A historian says "he played with his dog' while chat ting gayly to the soldier. The poor beast had been i'll at ease, for some subtle instinct warned it that there was danger afoot. Its dullest spirits were raised by it's masters assurance; but 1t was short lived contentment. for the duke and his dumb friend were soon parted by death. The prisoner was ordered to fol low the commander down a darksome stair way, which led into the moat. The duke hesitated, but the dog followed without ques- tion at his masters heels. The duke, when he reached the trench, realized the truth. He cut lock of his hair, gave it and ring to Noiret to send to his betrothed, Princess Charlotte de Rohan. As 8 o'clock struck the soldiers fired, and Napoleon's young victim fell. The spaniel, in the dim ight-for it was gloomy March morning, and the moat was lit by solitary lantern-had not seen it's masters face, and was unaware of his evil fate till it saw him dead. In vain it fawned upon him who, but few minutes previously, had stroked and commanded his pleased favorite. It was with difficulty that the poor animal could be torn from the spot and given to one of the prince's servants, who took him to the Princess Charlotte.-All the Year Round

ON Monday, January II, the presi- dential electors will meet in their re- spective states for the purpose of electing the president and vice president. But the result of the meeting will not be officially declared until the second Wednesday of February, when there will be joint convention of the senate and house to receive the votes of the presidential electors, canvass them and officially declare the names of the new president and vice president. There is considerable less doubt felt concerning the result of this election than there was about that which occurred on the 9th of last November.

FROM the facility with which the cor respondents down in Hayti send out false and sensational yarns it would appear that some of the tariff editors of the re- publican organs have been sent down there to keep their hand in. Some re- publicans are impressed with the idea that there is another president in the tariff
