Charged With SMUGGLING,

Deputy Marshal Oakes arrived in the
city last night from San Diego with
Mexican, Gregoris Ortega. who was
indicted by the federal grand jury some
time ago for smuggling. Qrtega's crime
consists in having brought few hun.
dred cigars across the line. He says in
his own defense that he did not know he
was violating the law, and intended the
cigars for his own use. He lives at Tia
Juana. Ortega was placed in the county
Jail last night. He will probably be ar
raigned in the federal court today.

DRINK THREE PINTS WATER DAILY.

a reason says physician, why
often prescribe one of the mineral waters
for my patients and have them take it dali
ly in considerable quantities is simply to
give them sufficient water. 1t is an error
committed by many otherwise sensible
and intelligent persons that drinking
much water interferes with digestion
One of those persons said to me lately:
i rarely drink swallow of water; Il cup
of coffee with my breakfast, cup of tea
or chocolate with my luncheon and on af-
ter-dinner "A cup of coffee again with my
dinner, that is practically all the liquid |
take. '(This with an air of conscious rec
titude), To begin with, tea, coffee, choc
olate, or beer, wine, and the like are not
substitutes for water, which is one of the
most important of all substances, required
for the nourishment of the body. Don't
drain half-pint glass of iced water just
as you sit down to eat that is palpably
injurious; but do have big glass of
water that has been boiled and cooled
brought to you on waking, and by the
time the bath and toilet has been accom-
plished and breakfast is to be taken the
water will not be an interfering agent
About three pints water day should be
regularly taken: fully this is needed by
the system" "

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A PLEA FOR VEGETARIANISM,

An advocate of vegetarianism says: mo
woman is too poor to afford the foods
that will aid in developing mental
physical and moral beauty l deny that
the so-called plain living is conducive to
high thinking. What is plain living as
generally understood. Steak, potatoes
and white bread. Such diet is conduc-
i've to early death, and productive of
stomach and nervous troubles. If people
think high on this unhygienic diet, it is in
spite of it and not because of it. High
thought operates through loftier things
than the carcasses of butchered animals,
starch, roots and stimulating drinks
These things lack not only vitality and
vegetable fragrance necessary to lofty
thought, aspiration and action but chem
ical matter needed by nature. 1t is an
old truism that after dinner any favor can
be had for the asking man is such a fool
when he is full of meat and drink. Fruits
travel the thirty-three feet of the digestive
canal in eighty-ive minutes; it takes ami
NAL food from three to five hours"
A ripe, sweet, juicy apple is pleasing,
nutritious, medicinal, and, being aromatic
and vitalizing, is supposed to aid in de-
veloping physical mental and spiritual
beauty. The teachers of expression in art
think So the vocal teachers say it will
clear the voice; a vegetarian says it will
excite muscular action along the alimen-
tary canal, and the housekeeper ought to
know that it ill save the bread and but

NO JOKE AFTER ALL.

A young man arrived at the Sycamore
at Lake George one evening not long
since and was met upon the arrival of the
boat by a very pretty young lady who had
evidently been awaiting him anXiOusly.
We'll" said he, after the greetings had
been exchanged, there is one poor fellow
down here tonight who is going to be
disappointed. In coming across just
now a portmanteau fell on the pile of
trunks into the water. Think of being
without IA change of clothes down herer'
The two laughed merrily over the dill
emma of the unfortunate man. The young
chap thought it huge joke and glibly to
his companion described the discomforts
furnishing collars and cuffs with billiard
chalk, and the like His companion en-
joyed his wit hugely.
Then he gave his check to a porter and
went to the room assigned to him to pre-
pare for dinner. An hour or two later he
was observed skulking disconsolately
along the back piazza. At last his friend
found him.
'sWhy didn't you come in to dinner"
she asked I'VE waited for you until
mamma made me join the family. | am

would seem to have prescribed moderate
use of pork. but this was one of the stand
ard dishes. The quantity of food served
was something astonishing. Julius Caesar
when he gave his triumphal feast, had
three tons of lamprcyS served at his table.
and when Hortensius passed away to a
world where gourmandizing is unknown,
he left behind as being inconvenient to
take along with him, 10000 pipes OF those
strong wines seasoned with asafetida and
other denominations, single glass of which
would drive a modern wine drinker crazy.
Among the Roman emperOrs noted for the
indulgence of their appettes were Nitel-
lius, Commodus, Ditlius Julianus and Hell
iogabalus, the last of whom made sausages
of shrimps, crabs, oysters and Holsters that
might have been excellent, if the season
ing had been simple and appropriate. The
shell-tish thus served might have reSem-
bled a salad of the same materials as it
appears on the modern tables. if certain
ingredients were omitted. During this
luxury a wealthy citizen had supper made
of the tongues of birds that could speak
which seems impossible when we consider
the scale on which meals were then served
and the comparative scarcity of the feath-
cred species in question. His daughter
history tells US, fed on pearls. lcaN ing us
in doubt as to the manner in which they
were served and the sauce used to flavor
them.
These cxtravaganccs in eating and
drinking continued in mldcr form for
some hundreds of years, while the empire
was steadily declining or until the Goths
and Nandals ovcrran Europe and taught
the effcminate Romans that the best sauce
to meat was Il good appetite engendered
by the fatigue of long marches, rough liv-
ing, and an occasional period of fasting
thrown casually in. During the dark ages
as regards eating, there was Il return to
the habits of the primitive man. Food
was scarce and supplied by chance, and
men gorged as gorges the anaconda, lying
dormant after an excess of nourishment,
often eaten without cooking. For thous-
and wears the receipts of Apicius re-
manned hidden in a muSty manuscript,
unknown except to a few monks, whose
business it was to copy and illuminate
ancient documents.
With the Renaissance came Il revival of
the spirit of ancient Rome, and there was
disseminated knowledge of its history,
its art, its literature and also of its follies
and extravagances. The former were imi-
tated and served as an inspiration to mod
ern genius The latter were less followed,
the taste of rich and poor alike being
somewhat less eNtravagant. and the means
of luxurious living not always easily at
tainable In the seventeenth century cook
ing had arrived at nearly the perfection
it has in these days, at least in France, but
neither there nor elsewhere did it occur
then, nor has it occurred since, to mix
medicines with food, that they might serve
at the same time as seasoning and as rem
edies for eXceSSeS of the table If it was
desired that food should be hygienic, this
object has been accomplished usually by
more reasonable methods The Hotel.
