Mr.. Gladstone and DIR. Talmage.

DR.. Talmage took luncheon with Mr..
Gladstone at Hawarden Castle on Friday.
Dr. Talmage was received very cordially
by the ex-PreInier, and the two gentlemen
questions. Mr.. Gladstone said Talk
about questions of the day; there is but
one question-and that is the Gospel. 1t
can and will correct everything needing
correction. All men at the head of great
movements are Christian men. During the
many years i was III the Cabinet / was
brought into association with sixty master
minds, and all but 1--WE of them were Chris
tians. My only hope for the world is in
bringing the human mind into contact
with Divine revelation" Then, placing his
hand on DR.. Talmage's shoulder, Mr..
Gladstone warmly eulogized the Doctors
Christian zeal and expressed great gratif-
cation at the marvellous publicity given to
his sermons, which are now distributed in
all lands and read in all languages.

Advice TO Dyspeptlcs.
INaM York I.edRer.l

All dyspeptics should avoid ANYTHING
which they (not others) cannot digest:
There are go many causes for and forms OF
dyspepsia that it is impossible to prescribe
one and the same diet for all. Nothing 10
more disagreeable or useless than TO be
cautioned against eating this or that, be-
cause your neighbor " So-and-So" cannot
eat such things. If we would all study the
nature and digestion of food, and remem--
Der that air and exercise are az essential
as food in promoting good health, we could
easily decide upon the diet best suited 10
our individual needs. The diabetic should
abstain from sugar and anything which Is
converted into sugar in digestion, such rs
all starchy foods, sweet omelets. custards.
iellies, sweet sauces, starchy nuts, wine,
and liquors.
The corpulent should abstain from fat rs
well as sugar and starch. A diet of whole
wheat, milk, vegetables. fruits, ana lean
meat will produce only normal amount
of fairness, while an excess of acids, sweets,
spices, and shortening keeps the system IN
an unhealthy condition. Those who can
digest fine Hour. pastry, sugar, and fats
become loaded with fat, but are neither
strong nor vigorous. -,
Thin people with weak digestion should
also avoid such food: for thin. people are
often kept thin by the same food which
makes others fat. fthey cannot digest the
starch. butter, and fine flour the system is
kept in feverish, dyspeptic state; they
become nervous or 60 into consumption tor
no other reason than that the life is burned
out by diet which only feeds the fire and
does not renew the tissues.
Men dig their graves with their teeth {;
not only by drinking whiskey and using
tobacco, but 10y eating food loaded down
with indammatory materials.

The Russian Method.

The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
London Times writes In the course OF his
tour of inspection through the Caucasus
this autumn Prince Dondukof- Korsakof
passed close to the village of Starry Yoort,
where a native colonel was not long pre-
viously murdered out OF revenge, and
where the murderers were being screened
from the authorities by the inhabitants.
As they refused TO give up the assas-
sins the Prince ordered all the inhabi-
tants of the village TO be assembled on
his route two miles off. Here tho
Prince refused to accept their greeting OF
bread and salt, and rated them right
soundly in the severest terms of the Rus
sian vocabulary. At the same time he
ordered their elders to be arrested on the
spot, and gave them q month IN which
TO surrender the murdeTers. IL they re-
NAMED recalcitrant at the end OF that
term, the severest punishment was to be
inflicted. With the usual obstinacy of
the Chechenlis tribes, who continue
their opposition to Russia as long
as, if not longer, than any of
the other tribes of the Caucasus,
the murderers were not given up
at the end of the month, whereupon a
military execution" was ordered to be
made. At daybreak the village was sur
rounded by Gordon OF troops and all the
inhabitants were disarmed and forbidden
ever TO carry arms again. a detachment
of troops was then quartered in the village
and 1,200 rublcs were exacted for the
benefit Of the murdered mans family. An
elder was also appointed and sent by the
authorities with salary to be paid by the
village of 600 rubles year. The murderers
have now at last been surrendered and the
troops consequently withdrawn.

Leonard G. Shepard was born in Dor
chester, Mass. November 10. 1916. Hewas
educated in the public schools of that
city, and begun his career in the famous
clipper-ships and tea-traders which for
merly sailed from the port. Shepard en-
tered the revenue-cutter service in sep.
tcmber, 1865. bearing the commission or
third lieutenant. He served in revenue
cutters stationed on the Great Lakes:
Gulf Of Mexico, and the Atlantic and
the Pacific coasts of the United States.
In July, 1877, he WIS promoted TO cap
tain. and was ordered TO command the Nc
Lane STEAMER at Galveston, Texas. He as
sumed command of the Rush at San
Francisco. May. 1887, and has made three
cruises to the Behring Sea, where he has
been called upon 10 deal with dlihcult
diplomatic questions. Captain Shepard
commanded successfully the schooiship
Chase, having under his supervision the
training and practical education OF the
revenue-cutter cadets. He has served on
numerous important boards convened
in Washington, and whenever called
upon 10 discharge the duties pertain
inc 10 his commission has won unqualified
praise. Instead of appointing civilian,
as has been done in recent years, Secre,
tary Window in selecting Captain Shepard
has returned TO the former custom OF as
signing one OF the naval officers OF the
service to act as chief of the division. The
Captains salary is just 900, the same
that has been paid TO the civilian chief 90
division, and the civilians salary Will now
lapse into the Treasury.

than MywapwH, the point e which e!an-
ley's return to civilization vas sienslled.
Wissman has accomplished much tor GER
many IN the line of territorial aggrnndize-
ment, but little else.
The only expedition for ths relief q
Emln which may have met with disaster -
that OF Dr. Carl Peters. A young man.
with but little experience in African exs
piorntions, he has only been in the neld
since 1884. He was selected by the Ocr-
man East African Company TO lead us e1-
peditlon less than four months ago.
the German Government officially as
claiming any responsibility for tue en-
terprise. and England strongly opJect.
ing to his being sent out at all: lie set
out from Zanzibar with good force ana
excellent equipment. Striking northwest.
he passed through the territory OK the
inhospltable Somalis and traversed NASAL
land, the country of the fiercest OF all tn@
tribes. He was last heard from at Lake
Baringo, and was then making for the Nile,
his evident purpose being--if his expedi-
ton ia still strong erough--to take posses
sion OF Emin's deserted province IN Ger
man interests.
DIR. PETERS.
Deserters from DIR. Peters have brought
to Zanzibar at different times stories OF
uisasttr, one even aturiulnR tnas nc Dou
seen the dead bodies of Peters and his
white heutenants, covered with spear
wounds. These stories are generally dis-
credited, and il is not improbable that
with his Characteristic energy DR.. Peters
who appears to be a cavalier of conquest
OF the Serpa Pinto stripe, reckless or
methods and consequences-may be
able TO reach Albert Lake, over
come the Mahdists, and establish Ger
man protectorate at Wadelai, on the
fertile Central African uplands and on
the extreme eastern verge of the Congo
Free State, thus achieving fame as the
first explorer to complete the chain OF
civilized communication from ocean
to ocean across the Dark Continent.
With such q chain established and with
German and English activity aroused;
the anti-slavery crusade of Cardinal
Lavigerie would no longer seem an al
most hopeless task. The outcome OF DIR.
Peters's venture. if O success, will make
Germany what England n now striving
with might and main to preventive lead
ing power in Africa. Should a iunoture be
effected between Wissmann's expeditionary
force and DIR. Peters. this may come to
pass sooner than anticipated.
