DIED WITH HER SECRET.

FOund-A Story that Reads Like
EIef1Nn


Fiction.
Miss Mary Rogers, Of Mount Carmel. In
Abbeville county, was taken sick OF pneu-

Snlt she wrote TO her brother, Levitt Rogers,
who was living in Texas, TO come to see her
that she had a secret to tell him. She want
ed to tell him where she Is supposed to have
secreted, or hid away, some 81 200 In gold.
When Mr.. Rogers arrived at the bed side OF
his sister, the disease had made such progress
that she had become unconscious. Never
recovering consciousness she soon died with
out disclosing the whereabouts OF her money.
In her clothing was found, after her death,
Sl35 in gold. The empty belt which was
found bore evidence Of having carried coin
at some time. 1t was worn so as to show the
circles or imprints OF the money.
Miss Rogers was school teacher all her
life. and died at the age OF seventy, much re-
spected by all whoknew her.
She leaves some town property In Mount
Carmel. which cost her about 81 100. but
which has somewhat deprecated In value.
Since her death diligent search has been
made for the hidden treasure, but, as far as
the Press and Banner has heard, no trace of
the 81 200 in gold has been discovered.

Mr.. Scruggs, says Leslie's Weekly, is
a native of Tennessee, but has lived for
many years in Atlanta, where he has
a handsome home and an interesting
family. He began his career in the for
eign service in 1873, when he was ap-
pointed minister to Colombia. In 1878
he went to China as consul, first at Chin
Kiang and then at Canton He was
rendered the office of consul-general at
Panama in 1882, but declined, and was
soon afterward made minister to the
United States of Colombia the second
time. President Harrison sent him as
envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Venezuela in 1889,
and he held that post until his successor
was appointed by President Cleveland
When the Venezuelan commission
was constituted, Mr.. Scruggs' familiar
ity with the boundary dispute and
Venezuelan affairs generally caused him
to be selected by that republic as its
attorney before the commission, in
which capacity he has made important
contributions to the literature of the
international cause celebre.

THE QUESTION OF DIET,
Boston Minister Thinks He Has
Solved the Problem.
He Is q Gastric Economist and Lives on
81 LIZ Cents . Week-Never Takes
Less Than Half an Hour to
Eat Meal.

If all men were like Rev. Miles Grant,
of Boston, the question of economics
would be quickly solved, for he knows
how to live on STA cents week. Rev.
Grant makes one of these peculiar COM
binations of fact and theory that are
rarely found. He invariably practices
what he breaches. In practice he is
vegetarian; in theory he is one of that
interesting sect known as Adventists.
The question of diet has been de-
cided by him after profound study.
The correct idea he believes to be based
on four principles. They are as follows:
a. Eat healthy food; (2) consume
a healthy quantity of food; (3) eat in
a healthy manner; (4) eat at healthy
times.
Of course, the first question that
arises is how to correctly interpret
these principles. Healthy food, accord
ing to Mr.. Grant, is included in the fol-
lowing list of eatables: Unleavened
bread, made of graham meal; porridge,
made of oatmeal, beans, peas and the
various kinds of fruits, including figs
and dates; English walnuts; mild, new
cheese; raw eggs in milk. The bread
is made by stirring graham meal and
cold water, till the combination is
about thick enough for griddle cakes,
and is then baked in cast-iron gem
pans.
These articles are never permitted
to pass Mr.. Grants lips: Fresh fish
and fowl, pies, cakes, tea, coffee, sugar,
salt, ginger, mustard, pepper and all
spices. In short, this dietarian uses no
seasoning in any food, unless a little
milk can be considered to come within
that category. The unleavened bread
is placed at the front of all healthful
food, on which, the doctor declares, he
lives well at cost of s7R cents week.
There are no other things, he alleges,
which enable one to accomplish so
much work, either mental or physical.
as will this bread and oatmeal porridge,
the latter made after. the fashion of
hasty pudding.
Just how much can we eat on an
s7% cents week basis? DR.. Grant says
we can get all we need, all that we
ought to consume, if we wish to main

tain our health at the proper standard.
He tells exactly what to do in these
words:
''In relation to the healthy quantity
OF food, I became satisfied that most
people ate too much. When came to
decide upon the quantity that my sys-
tenn needed, I first let the appetite de-
eide, but it soon occurred to my mind
that my appetite had neither reason
nor Judgment, and, therefore, was not
competent to direct in the matter. The
late DR.. Dio Lewis, of Boston, gave me
a valuable rule of this subject, which
was to decide on the quantity before a
mouthful Is taken. After weighing
and measuring my food and noting
the effect upon my stomach, arrived
at the quantity and quality of food
adapted to q healthy system. I found
that when followed that my stomach
made no more complaint about its
work than did my eyes when seeing.

Concerning the manner Of eating,

gestion- 1 had been In the habit Of
eating q meal in five or ten minutes.
Instead of moistening my food with
saliva 1 washed it down with tea and
coffee. My rule is not eat q meal in
less than half an hour, but am usually
much longer. All the food should be
converted into complete pulp before
it enters the stomach. drink moth
