recent writer, assuming that diet of
one part of heterogeneous to seven or eight
non-nitrogenous is good combination,
and that diet of twelve to fourteen
ounces of chemically dry food, digestible,
with the ingredients in proper proportion,
is sufficient to keep in good health an
average sized man on moderate work, de-
clares that the majority of people in Eng
land eat literally twice as much as this;
nor does such excess vary much among
different occupations, and while moderate
overeating may not be considered to be
really injurious, it is a fact that not only
do very many men eat much more than
the most liberal tables but it is no uncom-
mon thing for an average sized man on
very moderate work to eat twenty-five to
twenty-seven ounces of chemically dry
food a day.
On diet from which all meat is excluded
it is found that twelve or thirteen ounces
per day will comfortably feed hard work
ing man, and while moderate amount of
stinulants appear to increase the average,
moderately free drinking diminishes it..
The habit with women exhibits marked
difference, the fact being that they eat
much less than men, after making allow
ance for differences in weight and work;
that is, where man eats nineteen ounces,
woman of the same weight and of active
habits eats only fourteen or fifteen ounces.

In the Nile campaign of 1889 Sierra
was the scene of an act of great personal
bravery on the part of an English officer
which it is a pleasure to record 1t will
well explain the kind of warfare they were
engaged in. Bimbashi Judge, of the Thir-
tenth battalion, had been ordered to land
at Sierra village with fifty men, as strong
party of dervishes threatened an attack
there. He landed his men, and taking
twelve of them with him he proceeded on
foot to the western side of the village to
see If there was any sign Of the enemy.
Suddenly number of the enemy's cavalry
appeared from behind the sand hills. The
men with him precipitately fell back and
left him alone. Calling on them to stand
he fell back slowly.
There were seven dervish horsemen alto
gether. Instead of charging down on him
in body and dispatching him, they tried
to deliberately surround him. This en-
abled him to use his revolver and disable
three of them as they closed round him.
by this time the fourth man, an emir, was
on him. Judge, finding that his sword
had no effect on the thick, padded coat and
turban Of the emir, and being very tall
and powerful man himself, as last des-
perate resort seized the man by the collar,
tore him from his horse and ran his sword
through him. Just then all his men came
up and dispatched the remainder of the
enemy. The twelve men who had sud-
denly lost their presence of mind and de-
serted him on their return to their regi-
ment went up to their commanding officer
and reported the matter.-Blackwood s

Recent Utterances.
Congressional Proceedings-Ths River
and Harbor Bill Taken up in
the Senate.

Associated Press Dispatches.
" WASHINGTON, August 15.-The senate
met at 10 o'clock today.
Quay made personal explanation as
to remark attributed to him in the
reports of the Republican caucus last
night. He had been represented as
saying that he did not wish to have the
southern members of the house OF re-
representatives. yelping at his heels, urged
on by the speaker. He had made no
such remark, and had made no reflec-
ton on the distinguished presiding
officer of the other branch of congress.
Hoar expressed the hope that it
would not be understood that because
Quay felt called upon to contradict such
statement other people were also called
upon to contradict mendacious state
ments ascribed to them on a similar SUBJ
iect. The senators knew that the state
ments as to himself were mendacious.
Frye moved to proceed to considera-
ton of the river and harbor bill.
Edmunds demanded the yeas and
nays. "A vote was taken and the motion
was agreed to-yeas, So; nays, 8. So
the Senate proceeded to the consider
alton Of the river and harbor bill.
Hampton having asked Frye to allow
FRYE excused himself for declining to do
so, and said that he had asked the
finance committee to let him have two
days for consideration of the river and
harbor bill-today and tomorrow-and
that he should ask the senate to remain
in session tomorrow until the bill was
finished. He did not feel at liberty
therefore to yield any time for any other
business.
Among the amendments reported by
the committee on appropriations, and
agreed to by the senate, were the follow
ing: Appropriating 100000 for the
entrance to Galveston harbor, Texas.
Inserting provision for a commission
to determine the best location for a
deep water harbor on the Pacific coast.
Inserting provision for a like commits

which $1O,0 900 may be used for survey

ion for board of three engineers, Off

the location of ship canal to connect the
waters OF Lakes Union, Lasha and Sama-
mish with Puget sound.

IN THE HOUSE.
Time Wasted in Trying to Revoke Leaves
of Absence.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-The house
today proceeded to consideration of the
conference report ON the Indian appro-
priation bill.
After considerable debate, in which
Springer moved to recommit the bill to
the committee on Indian affairs, the
conference report was agreed to.
The house then resumed considera-
ton of the Nat Mckay bill, the ques-
ton being on it's reference to the COM
mittee on claims. This was rejected.
Pending the further consideration of
the Mckay bill, Cannon, by unanimous
consent, cited the use of the joint reso-
luton providing that the unexpended
balance OF the appropriations for the aid
of the Mississippi flood sufferers, be
used to aid destitute persons in Okla
homa. After the adoption of an amend
ment, providing that the money be dis
bursed under the direction of the secre-
tary of war, the joint resolution was
passed.
A vote was then taken on the passage
of the Mckay resolution, which resulted:
yeas, 81; nays 50-no quorum--and a
call of the house was ordered, but failed
to develop a quorum.
Thomas, of Wisconsin, offered reso-
luIlOH ulICCGlllS Vic SCI w
arrest absent members.
Baker of New York, created some
little excitement by offering as substi
tute therefor, a resolution citing an
editorial appearing in the New York
San of this morning, upon the declara-
ton of Roger @. Mills, of Texas, that
Washington was no place for him now,
as the campaign was about to open.
Scarcely had the clerk began to read the
preamble, when he was interrupted by
protests from both sides of the house.
Baker declined to accept the speakers
suggestion that he withdraw it, but he
finally withdrew the preamble. In
spite of protests the resolution was read.
1t revokes all leaves of absence, except
those granted for illness, or to Roger @.
Mills and others, employed like him, in
an educational campaign"
The speaker disregarding entirely
Bakers resolution, put the question on
Thomass resolution, and dilatory tactics
were resorted to until O'clock when
the house took recess, the evening
session to be for consideration of private
pension bills.
At the evening session, 1876 private
pension bills were posed, and the house
adjourned vntil tomorrow.

ST. PAUL, August ia complete
change in officers and directors of the
Eastern Minnesota railway was effected
at the annual meeting yesterday. 1t is
said that the retirement of H. D. Minot,
from the presidency, and the fact that
some of his associates have established
an office in San Francisco seem to point
to the confirmation of the report that
they would extend the Great Northern
road from Butte, Montana, through
Boise City to San Francisco.

PORTLAND, ORE, August ia COLI
sion occurred this morning on the Union
Pacific line about eight miles from here,
between special carrying the Oregon
Press Association, and freight train.
No one was seriously injured. The
engine of the special, one passenger
coach, a caboose and several freight cars
were wrecked.
SPoKEANE FALLS, WASH, August 15.-
A Northern Pacific freight train was
ditched in the east end of the city last
evening, demolishing the engine and
wrecking five cars. The train crew
saved themselves by jumping. The
accident was due to a large rock which
had been thrown on the track by a
blast. East and west bound trains were
detained by the wreck.
