Character In Gait.

Gait is an important partso physical
expression. By his gait q man tells ns
whether he is fresh or tired, strong or
feeble, in good health or in bad. To some
extent also gait denotes occupation. The
upright and somewhat rigid walk Of the
soldier differs largely from the rather
rolling gait of the sailor, and different
from both Of these lis the slow, jolting
gait of the country laborer, which, how.
ever, Is partly accounted forby hisc lum-
sy and heavy boots. In the pecu1iarities
Of gait, again, an attentive eye discovers
many moral qualities. Slow steps, wheth-
or longer short, suggest gentle or reflect
i've state of mind as the case may be-
while on the contrary quick steps seem
to speak Of agitation and energy.
Reflection Is revealed In frequent
pauses, and walking to and fro, back
ward and forward, the direction Of the
steps wavering and following every
changing impulse of the mind, inevitably
betrays uncertainty, hesitation and In
decision It might be asking too curious

spective gaits the miser, the spendthrift
and the philanthropdst, but the proud

THE PROFEINE IN FISH,

Every body who is pious enough is eat
ing good deal Of fish nowadays, and some
ef the fish eaters are believing that their
flied by the diet. There is little founda-
tIon for the belief that fish is better for
the brain than other food, but there is no
doubt that fish is fairly good food. The
United States Fish commission has been
looking into this matter and it has made
some interesting and valuable fnds. For
purposes of comparison, the chief nutrient
demanded by the human body, proteine, Is
taken as the standard.
It appears that at 25 cents a pound for
sirloin beef of medium fatnsss the pur-
chaser Is paying at the rate of $1.06 q
pound for pro;eine. At 20 cents pound
for s!rloiu its proteine elements cost So
cents a pound. Round steak at 16 cents q
pound furnishes proteine at 6S cents, and
leg Of mutton at % cents makes the nutri-
tive element cost 81 cents pound. Com
pared with these are maoksrel at 10 cents .
pound, which gives proteine st 70 cents a
pound; while salt cod at cents a pound
brings the proteins down to 43 cents q
pound. Salmon and shell fish furnish far
less nourishment in comparison to cost.
Early salmon, at 81 pound, costa at the
rate Of $5. II pound for the proteineit con-
tains. When the price falls to 80 cents that
of proteine is $1.5a. Oysters at rs cents a
quart furnish proseine at So IS pound, and
Holsters at 12 cents give proteine at $500.
The conclusion is, therefore, that the COM
mon kinds of fish are quite as economi-
furnish far less nntriment for the same
money.
Of all the American fish snslyzsd Cali
fornis salmon was found to be richest in
nutriments. Next comes the common sal
mon, then the eel, Spanish maokerel, hall
but and lake trout in their order. Not far
below them on the list are found herring,
lamprey eel, mackerel, turbot and shad.
The fish poorest in nutrients Is the COM
| mon founder. Red bass is but little
above 1t, with winter founder, Sleeps
head, gray pike, yellow perch and tomcod
in their order on the ascending scale.
Other we'll known varieties occupy an
intermediate position. -,
Salt cod didn't really need this scientific
| endorsement, but it is we'll enough to
know that in it proteine and economy are
| Joined as in no other fish. No wonder 1t
has attained suoh widespread popularity.

A RIFT.
SIT is the little rift within the lutte
That by and by will make the music mute"
So with the Democratic harmony which
has been 80 sweet, so cheering and so satis-
flying. Some riffs are already discernibls
in 1t. and by and by it's gentle music may
be entirely mute, and horrible and dis
tressing discord take its place. One of the
little riffs was caused by the Presidents
prompt and bold announcement that he
didn't intend to appoint to Office again
those who had held Office under him before.
His lofty reason for this is that he doesn't
wish to establish an Office holding class in
this country.
Of course those Democrats who have
belonged to the ofice-holdirg class know
that they ought to be In It again. They
know that the country is in no danger
from them, and they know that their past
experience in Office would be valuable to
them and to the country now. Further
more, thsy don't sse the consistency of the
Presidents attitude toward them. They
see that he ia not afraid the country will
suffer from too much of him. They re-
member that after he was first nominated
for the presidency he appeared to have
the same idea for himself that he now
has for them. He intimated that If
elected he would not try to get q
second term. Yet here he is at the
beginning Of his second term, and he
made no protest against being candidate.
He has, indeed, been three times candi-
date, and twice elected. OF course the ex-
Office holders may feel that he is excusable
for changing his mind In this way, but
they can point with pride to the fact that
they have been consistent and haven't
changed their minds. They know, and
always have known, that the longer and
more continuously they are kept in Office
the bstter it is for them and for this great,
glorious and. comparatively free country.
The President can never, even by more
solemn and impressive utterancss than
those he has become famous for making,
convince the Democratic ex Office holders
that it is all right for him to have several
eoims' ous Ao' riSu1 1or tuem to AaFo
more than one. They have had rude
shock. They supposed that Of course he
would stand by his old friends who hsve
stood by him. And they won't have very
hearty spproval of new ofice-holding
class to which they do not belong, even If
1t is headed by the man of destiny, who
once thought that one term was all he
ought to have.
