New Fad In Diet.

Vegetarians are outdone by a new
diet reform prophet, who advocates the
eating of natural uncooked foods. His
name is Macdonald, and he seems to
have gained small number of adher-
ents in Paris. 1t is Il part of the sys-
tenn he advocates never to eat or drink
anything but vegetable foods and nat.
ural liquids precisely in the state in
which they are found III nature. Hot
drinks of all kinds are specially CON
demned, although it is not quite easy
to see how the use Of water from ma
tural hot springs would run counter to
the principle laid down. Carrots ana
turnips, beans and potatoes, we mus
eat raw, it seems, if we value om
health, and fruit we must eat just n
nature gives it to us. Whether this
means that we must not peel an apple
is not stated. Mr., Macdonald himself
eats raw oatmeal (not oats), which, as a
Scotchman, he thinks not only extreme
ly nourishing but palatable as well. -

A Dramatic Scene,

Z dramatic but solemn scene was
witnessed at the dedication of a church
in Utica, N, Y, y short time ago. Dea-
con John Schermerhorn, ~ years old,
had taken great interest in raising
funds for building the new edifice. He
was one of the trustees Of the church,
and at the close of the services the pas
tor urged him to make few remarks.
He sang two verses of hymn aud olos-
ed thus u have prayed for this place
q great many times, Now / see my
prayer answered. Lord, let now thy
servant depart in peace. Lord, Jesus,
you kown it is all right between thee
and me. " AS he finished the sentence
Mr.. schermerhorn dropped and imme-
diately expired, Of course there was in
tense excitement in the congregation
over this remarkable answer to prayer
for release from life

Hern.

Last summer man in my employ
exhibited an act Of presence Of mind and
self control that might well be compared
to the deeds of daring ON the field of
battle" remarked John L. Nevins. a
New York contractor. 1.-TWO workmep
were engaged in repairing tho lightning
rod of the steeple of church. To 40.
complish this somewhat difficult and
dangerous task it had become necessary
for one of the workmen to stand on the
shoulders of his companion. While in
this position sudden gust Of wind
caused him TO spill quantity Of molten
lead, which fell on the hand and arm
of his friend, Notwithstanding the sud-
den and intense pain, the brave man
never fiinched and had the courage to
remain motionless while the lead burn
ed its way into his flesh. He knew that
a movement of his was liable to precipi-
tate his companion from the dizzy
height into the street below, and he en-
dured the pain rather than risk the life
of his fellow worker "--St. Louis Globe

And She Never Sent Them to School.

They say that the school attendance
officer in a thriving provincial town,
which shall be nameless, was recently
the victim of a practical joke.
He received an anonymous letter In

ing school, He at once started for the
house indicated, and in reply to his Of
fetal knock came the good woman of
the house.
"You have two children who do not

"Childreny" said the woman. "We've
no children.
"Oh, yes. you haye!" said the officer,
The woman stepped back and called
her husabpd;
Here, John, here's a man says we
have some children and they don't go
to school.
John came forward.
"You are mistaken, sir, " said he.
"But read this, persisted the officer.
The man read, at first with puzzled
expression, and then light broke over
his face,

must admit My kids don't attend
school, certainly, because really don t

''It doesn't matter what you like.
They will have to CO." said the officer.

The Anarchists and the Lords

The entire opposition press condemns
Lord Salisbury for his bill and speecl
in favor of reviving the power of expul
sion of aliens for use against the an
archists. The sober people of both par
ties, however, regard Lord Rosebery'
reply as bombastic and theatrical rather
than sound in fact and theory. Every
body believes, in spite of the prime min
ister's sweeping denial, that many AN
archist outrages are plotted in London
Lord Salisbury told the simple unwc]
come truth, and his bill was not attack
ed ON that ground. No progress yet ha.
been made, however, toward any prac
tical scheme for the international crush
ing of the anarchist. .-LondOn Letter

THE rYpewAlres,s WORK.
Your Wife May Think Che Is Only Orns-
mental. but Ehe is Not.

Your Wife May Think Che Is Only Orns-
mental. but she Is Not.
Few people imagine the amount of la
Dor involved in n days typewriting or
realize the distance the hand travels in
that length of time.
The highest rate of speed ever attain
ed is 200 words q minute. This is sup
posed to be the result of the most rapid
movements the human hands are capa-
BILE of. The person making this record
maintained this speed for only four con-
Eecutive minutes and has never been able
TO exceed that limit.
Assuming the words averaged six let
ters apiece, l, 200 letters a minute were
written.
1t is estimated that to make each let
ter the fingers are raised to q height of
two inches from the keyboard. Two
inches added for the descending move
ment make the fingers travel four inches
before each letter is struck. So this ex-
pert's hand in writing these 200 words
travelled 4, 800 inches, 400 feet during
tho minute i'll which she wrote the 900
words.
But this is unusual, Of course. Very
rapid writing is speed of 75 words a
minute, and this rate is too fast for com.
fort. Practical work is 10 pages of legal
paper an hour. Each page contains 300
words.
Six hours steady writing can be re-
garded as an entire days work This is
speed of 90 words a minute, and the
practical worker writes during the day
60 pages-18, 900 words, or 108, 900 let
ters.
If her fingers travel four inches to
make each letter, during the day they
travel 432, 900 inches.
This provides for the perpendicular
movement only, and it is fair to increase
this distance by one-third to estimate
the distance the hands travel over the
keyboard in a horizontal direction.
The total sum in inches is 576, 900.
This is equivalent to 49, 900 feet, or a
little over nine miles day.
In week the hands can cover 81
miles; in years steady application to
business over 2, 800 miles. .-Bookkeeper
