Vegetarianisnn.

We never seem to realize that large
proportion of the inhabitants of this coun-
try are practically vegetarians at the pres
ent moment. 1t Is true that they are COM
pulsorily so, but the fact remains. How
much meat can an agricultural laborer' S
family have out of wage of 15 shiliings
a weekP If small quantity of salt pork
be occasionally eaten, 1t Is of value chiefly
as respiratory food Yet our laborers, who
have subsisted on this diet for generations,
are strong. In other European countries
the peasantry are still more evidently veg
etarian for all practical purposes. Even
in Russia, according to Prince Krapotkin,
the peasant gets only corn, and not enough
Of that sometimes. Yet the Russian peas
ant Is not wanting in vigor. The evidence
is the same if we glance at non European
races.
The hardy Arab or Sudanese Is satisfied
with his dates, the Zulu with "mealies,
the Hindoo with grains and pulse. The
japanese have similar diet, varied ooca-
sionally with fish. Stanley says of the
Waganda: with the banana plant he is
happy, fat and thriving. Without 1t he is
famished, disconsolate, woebegone
wretch" The Jats of Rajpootana are de-
scribed as "a very intelligent, fine race,
while both men and women attain great
age. AS rule, the lower classes do not
eat meat" These instances, which might
be multiplied, are quoted to show that
vegetarianism Is the ordinary practice of
numerous races which are not among the
lowest, and which show no sign of race
deterioration. In face Of these facts the
mere random assertion sometimes made
that vegetarians arc subject to 'poorness
Of blood must be taken for what it Is

may be committed by vegetarians as

During the Norwich festival a we'll
known architect took Paderewski over the
cathedral, with which he was greatly im-
pressed, so much so that next day be re-
solved to go there alone and make himself
further acquainted with its beauties. He
managed to lose his way, however, in the
cathedral close, and, happening to pass
what looked Ikea scboolroom, from which
sounds Of music were Issuing, he stopped
and went in to inquire his way. A few
small choirboys were there alone waiting
for the rest to assemble for practice,
grouped around one Of their number who
was seated at the piano. 1t must be ex-
planned that several of the cathedral choir
boys are included In the festival chorus,

"I'll show you how Paddy plays" the
young pianist was saying, just as Pade-
rewski entered, and straightway began a
decidedly "frisky" imitation of the great
player. For moment he listened, much
amused, then advancing TO the group he
remarked quietly: "No, I'll show you how
Paddy plays" and quietly pushing aside
the little pianist he played for short time

first recognizing their visitor, till it

America and England.

We believe that the same impulse which
sends every wealthy American to Europe,
the same attraction of an old civilization
for new one, will at last drag the Amer
ican republic within the vortex of Euro
pean politics. Americans will want to
rival Europe, or to convince Europe, or to
be great In Europe.
A rich man does not feel his wealth
while he stays away from general society.
There is no reason that we know of why
the process which has already begun
should not go on to the end, or why this
country, at all events, should not welcome
the arrival of new power which, If 1t Is
occasionally jealous of US, at least shares
our humanitarian sentiments, but we are
not sure that Americans anticipate any
such issue. They still not only wish to
keep out of European politics. but, what
is much stranger, they think that they are
keeping out of 1t. They are not, for the
world grows too small for any one but the
Insignificant to remain wholly alone.

They will be apt to argue that as he is SO

rules of the farmyard or be regarded as o

The Phenomenal Literary Success.


OF late years there have been many aR-
parently sudden and phenomenal successes
IN the arena Of authorship, none Of which
probably has been either quite 80 sudden
or so phenomenal as Il itnppeared. Tho list
includes Mr.. J. NJ. Barrie, Mr. Rudyard
Kipling, Mr.. Stanley J. weyman and Ian
Maclaren. The case Of Mr.. Barrie Is we'll
known. ''Auld Licht Idylls" and "a
Window In Thrums," with which he
Schieved success were by no means the au.
thor's first ventures into literature. II
came out afterward that there had been at
least one previous volume from his pen,
with the ominous title Of Better Dead"
and for long after the fame OF "a Window
In Thrums" had been assured religious
weekly kept publishing reprints of articles
by the author which haS appeared without
attracting notice years before.
Mr.. Rudyard Kipling, too, seemed TO
spring suddenly into fame with the pro-
duction of Soldiers Three" and soma
Indian poems and articles In the maya
zines. But It transpired upon inquiry
and better acquaintance that bis art had
been perfected during years Of residence in
the east by much story writing in the
Anglo o-Indian journals. Again, Mr.. STAN
ley j. Weyman seemed to leap into sudden
renown the other day with the publication
of "a Gentleman of France" and "Under
the Red Robe" But the reader who looks
at The English Illustrated Magazine for
December, 1883, will find proof that quite
ten years before that apparently sudden
acquisition of fortune and fame Mr.. Wey-
man was perfecting his art and shoulder
ing his way TO recognition among the COM
mon crowd Of story tellers. As for Ian
Maclaren, whether or not his pen has long
been practiced In the art of deliberate
story telling, it has for half lifetime, as
is we'll known, had constant practice In
moving the emotions of mon In kindred
and hardly less literary way.-Chambers'

The successful employment of mixed
paints for residences, buildings, etc., is
at last made possible by the use of an
honestly made article. The Kellogg Paint

the demand their excellent products mer-
It. Having distributing points convent
emily located throughout the country, the
agencies are supplied on short notice,
and parties who are interested in the
subject of house painting, would do well
to consider the matter and not buy paints

The thrones used by the French kings
and emperors before the time of the re-
public was known as "the throne Of
the lilies" " 1t was so called because of
the old national emblem of the Franks
which was the feur-de-lis, species of
lily. The story of the adoption of the
feur-de-l lis as national emblem is curl
GUS and interesting. Clovis, king of the
Franks, married Princess Clotilde of
Burgundy in the year 493 A. D. The
young queen was a Christian, and it
was her earnest desire that her husband,
a leathen Frank, might be converted.
Her arguments had no effect upon him,
but an incident which occurred in bat
tie later on changed his mind In the
year 496 Clovis and his Franks met the
fierce Allemanni (Germans) in battle at
Tolbiac.
Clovis was finally SO hard pressed that
he called on the God Of the Christians
for help, vowing on his honor that if he
should be victorious he would become
Christian. Within the hour the Allie
manni were routed and On Christmas
day of the same year Clovis and several
thousands of his soldiers were baptized
into the Christian church. According to
the story, on the eve of the baptism an
angel from heaven appeared and pre-
sented Clovis with blue banner, en-
broidered with beautiful feur-de-lis.
These heaven embroidered lilies were
forthwith adopted as the French en-
blem, and from that time until the time
of the revolution all kings of France
bore upon their arms some kind of a
representation of the feur-ds-lis. First
the number thus worn varied according
to the taste of the monarch, but during
the two Or three centuries preceding the
fall of the monarchy the regulation
number was only three. St Louis Re

We think that the decision Of the ex-
ecutive council to present the battleship
Massachusetts with bronze statue of
Victory will be accepted as the most
fitting tribute that could be devised.
The figure, which will be life size, will
be placed upon the forward 13 inch turret
and will make an imposing appearance.

On the evening Of the third day White said
the miners were near to their journeys

pecting to arise millionaire. In the
morning White was gone and had left no

ible suffering, got back TO life and civlliza-
tion, and yet, despite their story, 100 men
started back over their trail two days later.

In the most highly civilized European
countries an increased consumption Of an
imal food Is regarded as certain sign Of
national prosperity, and the inference is,
for the most part, correctly drawp. The
poor know full we'll that meats of various
kinds enter largely into the diet of the
rich. Experience teaches them that few
ounces of beef or mutton are far more sat-
isfying than any combination of yegeta-
bles, and If their circumstances improve
they soon increase the supply of animal
food for themselves and families. 1t has
often been remarked that decrease In the
price of bread is followed not by increased
consumption of that article, but by an In
creased demand for meat. The money
saved in the expenditure on bread goes to
procure further supply of animal food.
In certain GLASSES of the community, not
prone to exhibit much self restraint, an
enormous consumption of animal food is
the invariable accompaniment of increased
earnings The old fashioned contempt for
foreigners was based, to some extent, on
the belief that they could not be otherwise
than miserable creatures because Of the
character of their diet. Martin Poyser, in
"Adam Bede," well expresses thsSopular
idea once entertained with regard to the
French and their food: "They ne'er ate a
bit O. beef 4 their lives. Mostly sallet,
reckon.'
If, however, all extreme cases be disre-
garded, and only moderate people of all
ranks be taken into consideration, 1t will
be found that the majority regard animal
food as the staff of life, and vegetables Of
all kinds as more or less important acoes-
sories, but as serving mainly to dilute a
diet which would otherwise be too strong
for the system. Absolutely to exclude
meat from our regular diet, and to attempt
to exist on vegetables alone, would be re-
garded by most persons as sign Of crazi-
ness, and as certain to be followed by
mental and physical degeneration. Fort

The Lost Mine,

The story Of the white cement" mine
Is curious one. One day gold seeker
named White came Into Horse Head Gulch,
CAL. from northern New Mexico, and took
out of his pack number Of pieces of what
looked like hard white clay glittering with
specks of metal. Before night 1t was
known In the camp that Whites specimens
showed 1000 ounces to the ton. The ex-
citement was intense. In the morning
party called on the owner Of the specimens
and told him that he must pilot the men
to his find. He should have the pick of
the claims and help to work It, but go he
must, and on his refusal was warned that
his life would not be worth shucks II he
