THEY ARE TREspAssERs.

Those Who Have squatted ON Omaha
Lands Acquire No Rights Thereby.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The best au-
thority in the general land Office asserts
that the men who have gone on the
Omaha reserve lands in the Ashland
district will secure no rights of any
kind, and that as soon as the lands are
disposed of they will be elected as tres
passers. These lands have been a res
ervasion, and therefore are different
from other parts of the public domain;
at least, that is the opinion of Commits
sioner Carter. He says the lands being
a reservation cannot be opened to
settlement except by an executive or
der; that under the secretary's recent
order Withholding the lands from entry
they became again a reservation, and
the people who are upon them now are.
in the eyes of thelaw, trespassers against
the general government.
Settlers Must Quit Fighting.
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Nothing is
beingdone about the Ashland land mat
tiers. The secretary is away and the
commissioner has not been at the office
for two days. The commissioner says
that no attempt will be made to open
the lands until the people up there get
through carrying their guns and the
warlike aspect subsidies. 1t is quite
likely that the department will send a
man to investigate the whole affair be-
fore any further action is taken.

CONCERNING THE DIET.
What You Eat Matters Little if You A
tain Certain Results.

What You Eat Matters Little if You At
tain Certain Results.
The human system requires a certain
quantity of carbon and of nitrogen to
keep up the equilibrium of health, re-
marked physician to a Telegram re-
porter. The healthy man needs 300
grains of nitrogen and 1900 grains of
carbon daily, to supply the waste that
takes place during the twentyfour
hours. He should select diet which
can supply as near as possible the
proper amount of each of these sub
stances. 1t matters little whether he
eats vegetables or meat. so long as he
achieves the result. 1t is very possible, as
vegetarians contend, that well-Selected
vegetable diet is capable of bringing
the greater number of individuals
to the highest physical development
of which they are capable, but it would
be difficult for the majority of working
men to get the proper diet of vegetables
all the year ,round, and a mixed diet,
partly vegetable and partly animal, is
most sensible.
Most men eat too much meat. ! know
some people who live almost entirely
upon it, The proper proportion is about
one part of meat to three of vegetables.
One thousand grains of meat contain
about 100 grains of carbon and 800 of
nitrogen. Therefore to obtain the 1000
grains of carbon which a mans system
requires no less than six and a half
pounds of meat must be consumed daily,
while the requisite 800 grains of nitro
gen are contained in one and half
pounds of meat, consequently three or
four times more meat must be consumed
to supply the carbon that is necessary
to furnish the nitrogen.
One thousand grains of bread contain
800 grains of carbon and ten of nitro
gen. In other words, to obtain the
requisite amount of nitrogen for the
system, on diet of bread alone one
would have to consume exactly double
the quantity of carbon required. A
short calculation shows that two pounds
of bread and three quarters of pound
of meat Just about compensate for the
daily drain on the system of healthy
man.
Beef and mutton usually contain Is
per cent. of carbOnaceous and 20 per
cent. of nitrogenous material. Potatoes
have "a per cent, carbonaceous and 2 of
nitrogenous material, very nearly the
proportion the system requires, Oat-
meal has 60 carbonaceous and 16 nitro
genous parts, and, taken alone, is bet
ter article of food than beef as regards
the requirements of the system.
SKINNED milk contains carbon and
nitrogen in about equal quantities.
Oatmeal and good milk and bread, for
breakfast, with beef and potatoes for
dinner, form about the best diet that
can be devised.-N. Y. Telegram.

Returning the Favor,

A story told of Mr.. Whittier by a
Boston lady illustrates his gentleness
and courtesy A few years ago he called
upon this lady one evening when the
streets were very slippery. When he
rose to take his leave, she feared that
he might slip and fall upon the steep
sidewalk. Accordingly she made pre-.
tence of needing fresh air and of desir.
ing to post letter, and went with him
TO Beacon street, where she slipped her
letter into the mail-boX and bade him
goodnight But as she started toward
home, he turned also, saying, "Wait! ]
win see thee home, Elizabeth. And he
did not leave her until she was ut hel
own door.-Youth's Companion.

Healtbfulness of Electricity.

The healthfulness of electric light
was recently illustrated in striking
manner Some railway men were dis
cussing in car factory the relative ad-
vantages of illumination by gas and
electricity, and the advocates of each
system remained unconvinced by the
other. Finally, the superintendent Of
the factory suggested that the matter
could easily be put to a practical test
and turning on the gas in the smoking
compartment of an adjacent car he in
vited the officials inside. 1t is said that
their stay was of the briefest, for in a
very few minutes even the strongest of
them had to succumb to the heat and
oppression and to seek the outer air. A
like test made in compartment lighted
by electric incandescents was attended
by very different result, and the ver-
dict which followed was unanimous for
the cool, wholesome light. This will
readily be understood by those who, ac-
customed to the electric light, have oo-
sion to sit in gas lighted rooms in
the sense of heaviness often becomes
oppressive. Chicago News.

ANOTHER MUSE.
How II Tenth One Was Added for the
Sake of Symmetry.

How II Tenth Ono Was Added for the
Sake of Symmetry.
With many people, all other consid-
erations must yield To their notions of
symmetry, which often turn out to
mean mere balancing or measuring of
one part with another, and not the
higher harmony of parts which some
times involve little irregularity. The
artist finds that the symmetry of his
picture is helped by making the objects
which he represents ON one side of the
canvas higher than those which he de-
picts on the other.
Not so, however, was it with worthy
man, by occupation IL carpenter, who
once had charge of the arrangements mt
an exhibition given at a country town in
aid of a charity. a tableau was to be
given in which the editor of the local
newspaper, who was poet of no little
reputation in the country around, was
to be shown seated in chair and sur
rounded by the muses.
At the rehearsal, the young ladies
representing the muses. came upon the
stage, and took their places, five on one
side of the editor and four on the other.
"See here" said the director of the
exhibition, there has got to be another
of those girls"
another muse!" said one of the
ladies' ''why there are nine of us.
Didn't you know there We're only nine
muses."
Cant help that" said the carpenter;
symmetry requires ten muses-fve on
each side!'
So another young lady was decked
out, largely in copies of the editors

muse of Journalism!-Youth's Compan-

"A Sweet Reminder.

A touching incident occurred at Black
wells Island when the bell of the new
chapel was hung. 1t was rung for the
first time to test its sound, which is
peculiarly resonant and sweet After a
few minutes trial the archdeacon, who
had ordered the bell to be rung, sent
word to stop the ringing, fearing that it
might annoy the inmates of the aims
house. At this moment, a lady who had
been visiting in the dormitories came
out to ask as favor that the ringing
might be continued. She said that many
of the poor old inmates had burst into
tears when they first heard the sound of
the bell and they declared that it re-
called to them the blessed Sunday bells
of childhood in the home far away. The
sweetness Of that tolling bell seemed to
send benison through those dreary
wards, and to bring back memories full
of Christian comfort and aspiration to

A Noted Bear Skin,

1t is said that Mr.. Jarvis, of Kansas
City, has bear skin, used as a rug,
twelve feet long by ten feet wide, not
counting the head, tail or legs, all of
which are attached and appear as nat
ural almost as life. The bear, a black
grizzly, was killed about two years
since on Bear Lake in Utah and weighed
2,2SO pounds. 1t is the largest bear
skin in the country and probably in the
world. 1t was borrowed to grace the
banquet in honor of Stanley, the Afri-
can explorer in London, and subse-
quently served as a rug ON which a
luncheon was given to Rt, Hon, William
