A Bread and Butter Diet.

The newest diet suggested as pro-
ductive of longevity is bread and but
ter. There is in Hythe, England, a
lady who lives entirely on bread and
butter, and has done so all her life,
says the New York Journal" She has
never tasted meat, game, fish, vegeta-
bes jam, and only a few kinds of bis
cults and sweets. She has never had
a days illness in all her life and never
had recourse to medicine of any de-
scription. Her friends have tried in
vain to induce her to eat something
besides bread and butter, but she con-
fines herself entirely to the diet on
which she has existed for at least thirty
years She is strong and healthy in
every respect-healthier, in fact, than
a great many people who have lived
upon exactly the food that is supposed
to make us feel as if illness were
total stranger and always would be.

SCHOONER ASHORE.
The Bessie X. High and Dry on the
Beach at r1outh of Coquille River.

MARSHFIELD (Or), Dec. 15.-The
gasoline schooner Bessie K. went
ashore about go feet south of the south
jetty a the mouth of the Coquille River
last night about o'clock.
The schooner was about out of gaso-
line and in hurry to get to port. The
captain evidently mistook the south for
the north jetty. 1t is a miracle how she
got in through the rocks onto the beach,
where she now lies high and dry, with
no damage done except the unshipping
of her rudder.
Her crew are now at Bandon. She
has small cargo of merchandise,
which will be saved, and it is claimed
that the schooner can be gotten off
without much damage to her providing
the sea does not come up too rough.
