The evils of meat diet are being
appreciated by many high livers in
cities, and these are being counter.
acted partly by the wealthy in add.
ing more fruits and vegetables to
their tables during the winter. The
cheapness of meat and a peculiar
craving which the system seems to
have for meat have gradually made
it common for city people to live al.
most entirely off meat in the winter
months.
Meat is eaten three times day in
quantities. and the excessive use of
such a diet is that rheumatic and
govt temperaments are acquired.
These temperaments are on the in.
crease, and they are largely due to
the excessive use of meat. Lime
water counteracts the evils of this
diet to large extent. -Pittsburg

Musk-that is, the genuine grain
from the musk deer-is now worth
its weight in gold, SO rare has 1t be
come, the wild eyed little animal
from which it is obtained having
been very nearly exterlninated from
its Asiatic haunts. A full grown
musk deer will yield about an ounce
of the grains, which are found in a
sac in the skin of its abdomen. The
grains are no larger than a pea, and
some of them are as small as a pins
head. The musk is sold in the mar.
ket in the pods or sacs in which it is
found, but is frequently adulterated.
So many of the deer have been killed
before reaching maturity that the
average musk bag imported, either
Chinese or Russian, will not exceed
half an ounce in weight.
The adulteration of musk is made
possible by the use of a seed known
as the musk seed. 1t grows in India.
The Chinese musk is priced the most
but Is more open to suspicion than
the Russian, which is seldom found
with the sac broken. There are
many artificial musks, and our com
mon muskrat yields pod that is the
only near approach to the genuine
imported musk. Interview in New
