How Miners Live in Chilli.

The truth of the old adage, whats
one mans meat is another mans pois-
on,' is most conclusively proven in the
varied testimony which from time to
time crops up from all quarters Of the
earth as to the adaptability Of the hui
man race to the most contradictory and
inconsistent dietetic conditions. Flesh
eating people think that vegetarians are
fools, and the latter regard the former
very often as very little better than
criminals. The discussion on this SUBJ
ject is perennial, and still people live
and thrive on both diets. Another waif
Of evidence on the vegetarian side has
found it's way from Chilli, where the
5000 or 10000 workmen in the copper
mines live upon wheaton bread, hari-
cots, dried figs and buckwheat cakes.
Meat eating is exceptional, and is look
ed upon as very inferior and unwise
proceeding. The miners IRE strong,
anaemia is unknown among them, and
it is stated that they would be among
the finest specimens of humanity were
it not that they give themselves up to
alcoholic excuses three or four times a
week, and consequently are subject to
fevers and liver diseases. The expert
ment of giving them meat in place of
a purely vegetable diet has been tried
with the result that they did less work;
many of them were considerably debil-
itated, and from choice went back to
their grains, fruit and black bread.

Club YalctS Ara Handy.

The club valet. rs now known, is a
comparatively recent development of
New York life, though he has existed
in one form Or another ever since men
began to have permanent lodgings in
clubs. 1t is his duty to do for all
dodgers what a private valet would do
for his employer. Trained English
Wallets are preferred for the Office. A
great deal of the Wallets time is occu-
pied in pressing garments that the or
binary. young man, unprovided with a
valet, must send to his tailor to be
pressed. The valet is not t., be tipped
any more than any other club servant,
but his share of the Christmas box is
ALWAYS handsome one, and he falls
heir to much valuable cast-off cloth.

WHY HE DID NOT "PoP."

Predicament of a Swain With but

party of bosom friends at the Laclede,

mo; what is it," they asked stimuli
taneously.
!. I'll tell you if you promise not to
give it away.
Mr.. Keith has a sweetheart in this
city upon whose very smile he fingers,
and the words that fell from her lips
were treasured in his mind with the
same tenacity with which a miser
boards his gold
"Of late his dreams have been troub-
led with spectral phantoms in which
he sees hissdarling torn from his arms
by the other fellow, who glided with
with his beautiful burden to safe re-
treat, where, unmolested, he can feast
his eyes upon the charming beauty.
1.-The young lady made an engage
ment to visit friends in 4 suburban vii
lage and asked her lover if he evould
see her to the depot. This meant a
he would with the greatest pleasure,
and, stepping into the nearest drug
store, he telephoned to a hack1nan to
send carriage to - street that even

that the rate charged was to be $3.50
for one-way fare. He intended to dis
miss the carriage at the depot.
when the young man arrived at the
To- in fhn
to his dismay two Of his sweetheart's
lady friends were present to see her off.
OF course this was not relished by
Keith, but he hoped to part company
with the crowd when the carriage was
announced. At the appointed time the
carriage appeared, and his girl insisted
that the young ladies should accompany
them to the depot. They at first de-
clined, but afterward assented.
TO say that Keith was mad would
be using mild term, because his mind
was fully made up to propose in true
romantic style as the steel-clad hoofs
of the mettlesome steeds rang merrily
in the cleaning. Not only this, but he
had just $3.50 in his pocket and there
was an extra fare to pay for the re-
turn trip. The party entered the car
rage, but Keith was in no mood for
cheerful conversation He forgot his
love in cogitations Of how he could
settle with the driver. Happy thought!
He could put up his watch for $3.50
until he reached the hotel The plan
worked perfectly; but until the lady
reads this story she will never know
that her invitation to those young
ladies prevented a proposal last Sun
day evening, nor to what desperate
straits her lover had been pushed"

NEW USE OF PHOTOGRAPHY,

Pictures of the Whole French Army
Arc Kept for Identification.
A French photographer lately in
vented process by which bit of Or
binary paper-thc leaf of book, for
example-can>b be made sensitive to the
light without affecting the rest of the
page.
Acting on his hint the French war
minister has begun to take the por-
traits of conscripts and recruits on the
paper which gives their height, COM
plexion, age, ETC.; and the cheapness
and swiftness of the operation, which
is already in use in the French army,
is something remarkable. 1t costs
only one cent to get two copies of a
portrait of jacques Bonhomme-one
for his individual register and the
other for his muster roll; and so rapid
is the process that in a few hours a
whole regiment can be so photo
graphed. The soldiers file along, one
by one, and each sits for three seconds
in the Photographic chair, and the
thing is done.
They even NAL K the mans regiment
al number on his breast with chalk,
and thus get Il complete Identification
of him in case of descrtion or death,
or when discharged soldier presents
his claim for pay or q pension. If such
system had been in use during the
civil war the pension bureau would
not now be paying out SO many thou
sand dollars a quarter to deserters,
bounty jumpers and other sham heroes

A New Sulphur Fumit:ntinG Candle.

A New Sulphur Fumienting Candle.
An admirable means Of securing
handy, cheap and effective disinfection
is provided by a ntw form of the or
binary sulphur fumigating candle. The
candle burns freely from the moment
Of ignition until the whole of the sui
phur is consumed. One Of the draw
backs in the use of the ordinary sui.
phur candle is that some portion Of the
sulphur is either volatilized as such or
forms sulphuric acid in process Of burn
ing; but in the new candle Il powerful
oXidiZing agent is associated with the
sulphur, which not only promotes and
insures better combustion. but evolves
much purer sulphuric acid gas. The
candle is made with water jacket,
which not only insures safety from
fire, but which gives off q water vapor
in combination with the sulphurious
acid gas by means of the heat gener-
ated by the burning sulphur. The great
efficacy Of sulphurous acid as q tlisin-
fect;,nt is gained when it is generated
in moist state, as the charged vapor
condenses on the articles to be disin-
fected, and thus the sulphurous acid
is brought into absolute contact with
them. The candle will burn for two
or three hours, if required so long, and
the room to be disinfectcd or contain
ing articles to be fumigated should be
carefully closed. BY the use Of this
device infected rooms, hospital wards,
clothing, bedding, and drapery can be
well and safely purified and all yer.
min and insects can be destroyed
