ReligIon Depends ON PhxsioIorr.

Before and since my fasts of forty
days, in Minneapolis in 1877 and New
York in 1880, have given much time to
the investigation of the physiological
and psychological effects of food, and as
a result of my study and experiments
unqualifiedly assert that the prevailing
skepticism as to the superior claims of u
vegetarian diet for the best development
of man in his entirety is only compatible
with the most incorrigible Indifference
and mournful destitution OF knowledge,
scriptural and otherwise. on a subject of
vital Importance.
1t is not often that the claim is set up
that the question of food just as properly
belongs to the domain of theology as to
physiology, yet l champion the claim
and considering how much the happi-
ness and welfare of humanity depends
upon the soundness and precision of its
moral and religious views, and not for
getting the ever increasing control which
scientific proof exerts over the masses of
men, will endeavor to prove, to the
philosophic mind at least, that the ad-
vancement of the absolute or perfect re-
igion as taught and lived by the Man of
Nazareth-which was religion of prac-
tice and not of theory-depends'u upon a
proper understanding of physiology,
especially the physiology of the digestive
apparatus. DIR. Tanner in Kansas City

The Parrots Laugh.

Some years ago i possessed parrot
which, among its other accomplishments,
could mimic perfectly the cooks call for
Kitty, the household cat.
Polly's cage hung usually in the kit
chen, and Kitty's favorite mode of exit
in the summer was through the adjoin-
ing window and along the wooden parti-
tion fence which ran up to it.
No sooner would Polly observe Kitty
summing herself at the end of the fence
or in the yard than up would go the cry:
''Here, Kitty, Kitty Here, Kitty, Kittyr'
and the deluded quadruped hardly ever
failed to respond by dashing rapidly to-
ward the window.
Then that mischieyous parrot would
chuckle and flap its wings and yell. s'Ho,
no, hor-thereby clearly demonstrating
its intense enjoyment of the practical
joke played upon the credulous cat.
Do you think that Polly did not laughi
If so, don't know what laugh is

where Horse Meat Soup Is Popular.

Every day, at early morning, noon
and evening, in Paris, you will see poor
people gathering at certain shabby cook
shops in the quarters of Belleville, Mont
martre, the Batignolles and others of the
sections outside the boulevards, where
poverty houses are thickest, each armed
with tin pail, pitcher or something
else calculated to carry liquid.
These receptacles are duly filed with
thin but savory broth, labeled from huge,
steaming caldrons, and which costs only
a cent or two quart. Ihave drunk this
-bouillon and found it nourishing and
good 1t is made of the bones and scraps
of horse meat after the choicer pieces are
sold to the cheap restaurants, and the
very essence and marrow of the meat are
in it, for the boiling is kept up until the
bones are fairly honeycombed and the
meat reduced to shreds like bits of twine.
This broth provides the principal ami
NAL nourishment for the average laborer
in the gay city. He adds to it few
vegetables, thickens it with bread, and
it having, as the cook book might say,
been seasoned to taste makes palat-
able and hearty meal. Alfred Trumble

The Misuse of the Fan.

her throat.
''And she sat there by your side and

fans, creating breeze like young
whirlwind, until you ara all of chill,

The CONVERSION OF LONDON.

Eject ON Ensland's History of the Teach
ings of the Early Church.
London was converted in A. D. 604.
The citizens relapsed, it is true, but they
were again converted, and then, in sober
earnest, put away their old gods, keep
ing only few of the more favorite SUI
perstitions. Some of these remain still
with u.s. They were SO thoroughly con-
Terted that the city of London became
veritable mother of saints
There was the venerable Erkenwald-
saint and bishop-he who built Bishops
gate on the site of the old Roman gate;
there was St. Ethelburga, the wife of
Sebert, the first Christian king-her
church still stands, close beside the site
of the old gate; there was st. Osyth--
queen and martyr-the mother of King
OHa-her name also survives in Size, or
st. Osyth's lane, but the church of st.
Osyth was rededicated to ST. Ben'et
Sherehog-Benedict Skin-the-Pig - you
may see the little old churchyard still,
black and grimy, surrounded on three
sides by tall houses.
English piety loved to dedicate
churches to English saints-more likely
these than Italian or French to look
after the national interests. Thus there
were in London churches dedicated to
st. Dunstan, st. Swithin, st. Boto1ph
(whose affection for the citizens was SO
well known that it was recognized by
four churches), St. Edmund the Martyr,
and later on, when the Danes got their
turn, churches to St. Olaf and ST. Mag
nus.
The Englishman, thus converted, was
received into the company of civilized
nations. Scholars came across the Chan
mel to teach him Latin, monks came to
teach him the life of self sacrifice, obedi-
ence, submission and abstinence. The
monastery reared its humble walls every.
where-the first foundation of the first
Bishop of London was monastery. In
time of war the monasteries were spared
| Therefore the people settled around them
and enjoyed their protection. The mon
astery towns grew rapidly and prospered
New arts were introduced and taught by
the monks; new ideas sprang up among
the people; new wants were created
Moreover, intercourse began with othel
nations; the ecclesiastic who journeyec
to Rome took with him a goodly trooI
of priests, monks and laymen; they saw
strange lands and observed strange Gus

Good Plot for a Farce.

The following singular will case comes
from Hamburg. Some years ago there
died in Schleswig, Germany. a govern
ment official named Nielsen. Some lit
tie time before he died Nielsen be-
queathed to his man servant 10000
crowns and to his cook like sum, on
the condition that if either of them mar
ried the 10000 crowns should revert to
the other. AS soon as the old gentle
man died, however, the happy possessors
of this fortune went to the altar and
were married. The couple then took up
their residence in Hamburg, where they
have resided for the last six years.
Recently there arrived from Copenha-
gen relative of Herr Nielsen. who by
their marriage considered the spirit of
his relatives last will and testament had
been departed from, and demanded the
restitution of the 10000 crowns. The
matter is now before a court of law

be published Emily A. Thackray in
