A Unique Political spot.

Perhaps there Is only one place In the
world where the flags Of four nations,
each on it's own soil, may be seen waving
In friendly rivalry or in defiance accord
ing to the condition Of European pcli-
tics. Midway In the narrow channel at
the southern entrance to the Red Sea is
the dark gray island Of Perrin, above
which floats the union jack of Britain.
surmounting the steep cliff on the neigh
boring shore of Arabia is the crimeon
banner OF Turkey, and on the opposite
coast is the border line between the Red
Sea territories Of France and Italy,
whose flags are flung TO the breeze
within half a mile OF each other. II
these four nations should have q serious
falling out, 1t would he interesting to
watch the corner Of the word where
frontiers meet.

The protoctionist does not advocate
restricted importations generally. He
believes in restricted importations OF
articles which compete with our own
productions, and thus take away EN-.
ployment from our woi kingmen; but
tMD0rtatiOns Of n0n-cOmpeting articles
should not be restricted. Thus, under
the Mckinley tariff our imports have
greatly increased. but this increase has
been almost entirely In articles which
We do not ourselves produce.

DANGER IN MEAT DIET,
Limo Water or the Alkalines Should he
Used with tho Flesh Pots.

Used with the Flesh Pots.
The evils of a meat diet are being ap-
preciated by many high liyers in cities,
and these are being counteracted part
ly by the wealthy in adding more fruits
and vegetables to their iables during the
winter. The cheapness of meat, and q
peculiar craving which the system
see ms to have for meat have gradually
made it common for city people to live
almost entirely off meat in the winter
months. Meat is eaten three times q
day IN quantities, and the excessive
use of such q 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 q large extent. Alkaline
waters of all kinds have q tendency to
act as q dilutent, and hence are bene-
fetal to persons addicted to q heavy
meat diet. Lime water has 4 tendency
to make children grow, and in countries
where the drinking water il heavily
im~pregnated with it, the men are apt to
be tall. 1t 10 now used very extensively
in the milk for children, but it should
not be restricted to children, for in this
meat-eating generation mon need it too.
For . perfect sanitary diet, alkaline
water is needed for every person who
eats heavily of meat, and this means
nearly everybody excepting the vege.
tariou0.

can sugar beet culture would be an im.
possibility without the bounty.
Great advances have been made In
improving the. quality Of the beet,
and there remain great possibilities Of
further advance. But even under

DON'T MIND NE.
But Go On and Tel. Her What She Wants
to HeHr-A railroad Episode.

DuS 10 IN anu lsli nef what she Wants
to HeHr-A railroad Episode,
A few nights ago q young man sat in
the waiting-room of . little railroad sta
ton about ten miles from Philadelphia,
doing away the hour that was 10 elapse
before his train was due. 1t was very
warm inside, and bitterly raw and wet
outside, and the warmth and feeling Of
comfort at being protected from the
storm lad iulled him almost to sleep as
he snuggled into the corner in which
he Fat. Suddenly the door opened and
a pretty girl with q shawl on her head
came in. She glanced at the young
man and he watched Ler from under
his dropping eyelids. She tip-toed to-
ward him and seemed bent on discoy-
ering just how fast asleep he was.
Therefore he simulated deep slumber.
and with q sigh OF relief the maid tip
toed away and into the partitioned-of
space wherein sat the young man
who was station master. "S-h-h-h-h!
that fellow out there is fast
asleep" said the girl; NOW
don't muss me up, and don't wake him.
I've just got about three minutes, Char
ley, 80 tell me just how much you love
me, and I'll run back" Then there
was a soft cooling in Charles gentlest
voice, and the young woman said: II
think you're right hateful; why don't
you tell me you love me with all your
life, and soul and being, like the fellow
did In the play ?" This was too much
for the pretended sleeper, who also hap
pened to be a telegraph operator him
self. Quickly pulling out two half dol.
lars, he licked this message sharply up.
ON them: "Ah, there, Charley. 10
on, tell her what she wants to hear.
Don't mind me-" The next instant
there was a great pushing back Of
chairs in the inside Office, Charlie glared
out through the door at the young man,
who was apparently again asleep, and
then the pretty maid, biashing as red
the door and into the night. The
young man smiled in his sleep until the
