EATING FOR STRENGTH.

The Proper Foods to he Used to Atss:A
This Object.
There are two things to be considered
in eating for strength. first, that the
food should be very nourishing; second,
that it should be easily digested. There
are some articles which are very nutri-
tious, and yet SO hard to digest that it
is not desirable to use them. On the
other hand there are some foods, not so
very rich in nutriment, and yet SO easy
of digestion that they may be used ad-
vantageously. It is a popular fallacy
that hearty foods, so-called, are the
most Strengthening. People usually
mean by hearty foods those which
are very difficult to digest
those which literally stick by
the ribs. The so-called light diet
made of rice, wheat and other grains,
fruit and milk, is really much more nu-
tritious and much more easily digested
than bill of fare into which flesh foods
enter. The lumberman says he must
have pork because it sticks by the ribs.
So it does very literally, roast pork TAX
ing five and a half hours for digestion.
Such food has staying qualities in the
stomach, but not for strength. A stay
ing quality like this is something like
the Indians taking up an extra notc5
in his belt when he can not obtain food.
In order that we shall economic our
powers to the highest degree, we should
take food which is really the most nour-
ishing and the most easily digested.
From this standpoint we will consider
lean beef with its nutritive properties
twenty-cight per cent. 1t takes roast
beef three hours to digest; broiled. three
hours; fried, four hours; corned beef.
four and one-half hours. Only one
fourth nutritious material and yet re-
quiring from three to four hours for di-
gestion. Rice is eighty-seven per cent.
nutritive material, and yet it only re-
quires one hour for rdigestion-one-third
the length of time required for the di-
gestion of beef. and three times as
uourishing. Hence rice is worth nine
times as much for strength as is beef.
Where does the OK get his strength,
the elephant, the rhinOcerous and tho
gorilla? The gorilla can snap 4 rifle
barrel like the twig of a tree. If ho
kills a man, It is only done for self
protection, never for food. Yet if
hunter was exceedingly hungry, he
might eat the gorilla Some hunters
profess to be very fond of monkey
steak.-Dr. j. II. Kellogg.

THE FRENCH STRIKERS.
Over $4,000 Men Out-A Bitter struggI
Anticipated.

Anticipated.
PARIS, Nov. 19.-Dispatches received
here to-day from various places in the
Department of Pas-de- Calais show that
the striking coal miners are gaining
many accessions to their ranks.
The strikers now number SO, 600, and
no doubt is entertained that i'll very
short time a majority of the men still
remaining at work will quit and join the
great body of strikers.
The authorities are taking every pre-
caution to guard against disorders, and
though in some places Rthe miners dis
played a very bitter feeling, there has
as yet been no serious disturb ance of
the peace, but only trivial outbreak
here and there that has speedily been
suppressed.
AS in all labor troubles in France
there is danger that the Socialistic ele-
ment may incite rioting, and, as a
matter of fact, prominent Socialists are
at work among the disconnected and
striking miners, spreading their lawless
tenets. They are closely watched, how
ever, and upon the least indication of a
general resi- stance to the law they will
be speedily lodged in Jail.
To prevent the patrols appointed by
the strikers from approaching the pits in
their endeavor to induce the workers to
quit, and also to guard against an at
tack either against the men working or
upon the property of the mine owners,
strong detachments of cavalry and in
fantry have been stationed about the va
rious pits.
The presence of the troops, it is be-
lieved, will have the effect of keeping the
strikers, as a body, from ma king a riot
Gus demonstration.
This is the fourth dayof the strike, and
both the miners and their employers are
confident of victory.
No hint of concession is made by
either side, and from present indica-
tions the struggle will be long and bit
ter one.

Her Father Worth 100000.
PITTsBURG, Nov 10. - Miss Maggie
Berkeley, aged 20 years, died at the
Pittsburg Poor Farm on Monday last of
consumption.
The story of her life came out yesterday
from a remark by undertaken Flannery,
who declared the young woman was the
daughter of a Brooklyn man worth
$4OO, 900. From investigation made last
night it appears that Miss Berkeley came
to Pittsburg last May.
She had Tor five years been domestic
in the family of Mrs. Kellogg of New
York, relative by marriage of one of
the VandeFbilts.
Mrs. Kellogg advised her to leave New
York for the benefit of her health, as the
girl was SHOWING symptoms of consump
ton.
This Miss Barley did, taking up her
home at 4O4 Fifth avenue, Pittsburg,
with an aunt, Mrs. Mary A. Ferrigan.
Mrs. kellogg very kindly supplied her
| with MONEY from time to time.
O0FGEdl weeks ago Sn0 DoCdQ0 SO poor
| ly that she was sent to the Homno
| pathic Hospital After time she was
| discharged from the institution but sub
sequently sought re-admission.
On account of some technicality this
| was refused, whe reupon the girl applied
| to the city authorities and was admitted
| to the poorhouse.
The girls story as it was related at
i the Ferrigan residence by Mrs Mink,
who lives in the same house, was that
| her parents left her with relatives in
Ireland when she was years old, the
| Barkleys emigrating to America.
The mother died in Brooklyn and the
| father REMARKED. The daughter was,
| for some reason, not sent for, but at the
age of 16, having earned money as a
servant, she came to America.
She claimed that her father would not
receive her and she had to earn her own
livelihood.
Undertaken Flannery says: ''On Miss
Barkley's death, Mr.. Barley, who is
worth fully $4O0, 900, was mott fed but
sent no reply
| Another telegram was sent him and
that time he telegraphed.
BURY her, expense not to exceed
$50"
Chief Elliott was notified and Barley
will have to pay for the mainte nance OF
mis- daughter at the poor farm.

MONT SAN MICHEL.
The Most Picturesque Monastery il


The Most Picturesque Monastery in
France.
In this unique inn there is no office;
no hotel clerk presses a button, and, by
virtue of bcll-boy, glib order and
lighted candle, launches US into the
assigned quarters. Instead, writes A.
M. Mosher in the New England Maya
zine, each traveller receives from the
hostess a smiling good night, and a
small paper lantern lighted by a bit Of
candle inside, and bearing outside the
legend "Poulard." A narrow flight Of
stone stairs brings us from the little
street up to the top of the inner
wall of the town; we cross bastion,
round tower of the eleventh century,
creep timidly through dark arches,
climb long flights of stone steps, messy
and worn, and at last reach the build
ing where the sleeping rooms are. Each
separate bedroom is as it were bal
cony built out from the rocky noun
tain, and commands a splendid view.
We look down into the narrow street
where we lately took our coffee, and
see other little lanterns like ours dane
ing hither and thither; we look up into
the mysterious arches and windows OF
the monastery standing solemnly up
there against the night sky, or we look
out and away across the sands to the
| sea. Whether below, above or seward
all is weird and shadowy and dreamy
in the light of the August moon, which,
swung low in the sky, looks red and
swollen out of its natural size, anC
seems to be dropping earthward. This
moon has witnessed strange scenes in
her time. Far away there where the
| bay of Cancale now lies shining once
| stood vast oak forests, and therein
Druids celebrated their mysterious rites
| and offered their horrible sacrifices. Al
ancient rhyming monk of the sixth
| century has long sung of this forest
which bore the name Of Scissy. Black
| robed priestesses garlanded with yer
vain, swinging their lighted torches
| their white arms cleaning in the
| streaming light as they swung anc
J circled among the shadows of the som
Der oaks, must have made weird pic
ture under moon like this.
Such matters and fancies fill ou1
minds, and to say that our quartette
| slept much that night would not be tx
tell the truth. The solemn antiquity Of
the place made havoc with the nerves
of the man of dates; the poet rhymet
his thought and set! his song a-singing
the little painter pe1ched herself in hel
easement and caught bits of a scene il
pastel, and the fourth body though
long upon the historical omelet, ant
laid schemes for securing the secret O.
it's perfection. But lest injustice b.
done her, let us say that hers was thu
last head of the four to betalle itself tx
sleep; for not until the moon had gon'
down into the waves of Cancale, ant
the star tagging afte had vanished, dix
she disappear from her window. A
last the bats and nightbirds had it t.
themselves-the mount slept. Nine
