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 adding
more fruits and vegetables to their
tables during the winter. The cheap
ness of meat and peculiar craving
which the system seems to have for
meat have gradually made it COM
mon for city people to live almost en-
trely of meat in the winter months.
Meat is eaten three times a day in
quantities and the excessive use OF
such diet is that rheumatic and equity
temperaments are on the increase. and
they are largely due to the excessive
use o. meat

rho Indianapolis Sold iers' Monu

The indianapolis Sold iers' Monument
Monument Commissioner Langsdale
has returned from a trip to Chicago,
during which he succeeded in obtain
ing the services of jury of eminent
men, who will pass upon the designs
for the side groups of war" and
peace which are to adorn the base
of the monument. Mr.. Langsdale is
gratified with the result OF the effort
to secure the service of men of reeog-
nized ability and genius for this work.
The jury consists of Augustus st.
Gaudens and Daniel c. French of New
York and Charles p Atwood of Chica-
go. Gaudens is the sculptor
of the great Lincoln monu-
ment in Lincoln Park, Chicago,
and of other famous pieces of statuary
Mr.. French is a sculptor of renown,
and is the designer Of the colossal
statue of the Republic, which is to
stand in front of the Administration
building at the Worlds Fair. This
statue is to be sixty feet high. At
wood is the chief of the designers OF
the Worlds Fair. and is an architect.
Sept. has been fixed upon as the
date for opening the designs for the
war" and peace" groups, but it is
likely that this will have to be changed
to suit the convenience of the jurors,
who are so busy that it is possible
they can not take time to attend e
the matter before the middle Of Octo-
Der.
The founders of the bronze browning
! figure for the monument are progress
ing slowly with their work. The fig
ure was TO have been completed and in
position by the tst of July of this year.
4 few weeks ago the founders were
quite sure they would have the jot
done by the lst of October anyway
Now they set the middle Of October as
the time for finishing the work, Mr.
Langsdale said that he wouldn't bC
surprised if the figure is not put il
position on the monument before mex
spring. indianapolis Tribune.

A Socialist Cavalry Onicer Dismissed.
A French officer belonging to u crack
cavalry regiment has just been placed
on theretired list under peculiar circum-
stances. While visiting his friends in
the Department of the Rhone he at
tended Socialist meeting, and, max
ing his way 10 the platform in uni
form, declared that his squadron was
under orders to leave for the scene of a
strike, but he would refuse TO march
against the people. The officer in
question was put under arrest for a
month and was brought before court
of inquiry. Pending the issue of the
decree which places him on the re
tired list, he wrote letter violently
attacking the army and the Minister
of War. The nissive was intended
for immediate publication, but was
kept in the background by those 10
whom it was addressed until it was
considered that its appearance in
print could not affect the interests Of
the author.

A Cannon THAT shoots Fifteen mites.

a cannon That shoots ffteen Miles.
Through the courtesy of Herr Lauter,
an expert German engineer, now in Chi
cago in the interest of the great ord
nance mandatory at Essen, CORE
spondent has obtained description Of
the biggest gun on earth, which will
probably be exhibited at the fair
When Lieut.. Baker suggested to the
Krupp representatives that this gun be
left on the trucks, Herr Lauter said it
would depend altogether on whether
they had their own car or were com
PEELED to use one manufactured in this
country. A special track will have to
be laid to the fair grounds over which
to haul the gun. A heavy foundation
will also have to be prepared on which
ting gun can stand. In speaking of the
matter, Lieut.. Baker said:
Our biggest American guns are
about As feet in length. The Krupp
gun will be, think, about 81 feet long.
If it were fired on the lake front the
conclusion would be so great that it
would shatter nearly all the window
glasses in Chicago. 1t would carry a
ball from the lake front up over the
housestops of Evanston, distance of
fifteen or eighteen miles. Its initial
velocity is $500 feet per second"
The gun will be shipped to America
by special steamship and transferred
to Chicago from the sea-board by cars
made especially for it.

LIME For THE SoIL.-The fall
season of the year is the time for
applying lime to the soil. The ac-
ton of lime is slow, and as its ten
dency is to 60 down into the soil,
1t is only necessary to broadcast it
over the surface of the land. There
is no loss of ammonia when lime is
applied over MANFRED land, as the
soil itself arrests and retains all
gaseous matter, while its chemical
effects on the substances in the soil
are such as to more readily convert
them into plant food. 1t is of itself
plant food, and, it may be added,
1t is q portion of the food of all
animals in some form, as it exists
IN many compositions, and it is safe
to claim that no fertilizer offered
to farmers is destitute of lime as
one of it's factors, and in the form
OF phosphate of lime it is an i'm
portant ingredient of commercial
fertilizers.

her eighteen-year-old rosebud Maud
why in the name of goodness can
you want to marry that impecunious
young fellow Harry Juventus, when
there is that charming Sir Croesus
Senectus, a man of dignified matur-
ity and countless wealth, who is
dying to make you Mrs. Senectus,
and who would place my jewel in a
magnificent sitting?
How can you talk so, mamma?
replied Maud, looking down and
blushing few lines of solid non
pareil. It is true that Sir Cresus
is rich and Harry is not; but then
Harry is young and Sir Cresus is
old. Now, Harry is young and he
can acquire wealth; while Sir
Cresus is 2ich, but he cannot ac-
quire youth. Do you catch on,
mamma, as the boys say?-Min.
