Variety In Food.

While it is true that variety is the
spice of life" the best judgment of care
full students is in the line of simplicity
in the matter of food. Have an adj
equate supply, have it thoroughly and
intelligently cooked, but let it be plain,
simple, digestibde. In this direction a
western health journal pertinently, il
not very elegantly, remarks: 'Neyer
have a great variety at one meal, but
make the variety from one meal to the
next. Did you ever stop to think what
a conglomerated mass your stomach

VOLUNTEERS GAZETTE ISSUED.
First Number of BaIIington Booths New
organ Is Published.

The first number of the Volunteers
Gazette, the official organ of the Ameri-
can Volunteers, has been issued, and it
is a creditable production. 1t contains
16 pages, filed with interesting reading
matter, including the latest doings Of
the volunteers in different parts of the
country, varied with general reading
matter, which will make it welcome
visitor in many homes.
The opening article is the statement
of Commander and Mrs. Booth regard
ing the split from the Salvation Army,
which has already been widely circu-
lated in the press. The Junior Vol
unteer page is given to entertaining
matter for the juniors. A notable fea-
ture is the large American flag shown
on the first page, waving from the cita-
del, with the query at the bottom:
"Will you rally under the volunteers
standard?" On another page the auto
graphs of the different army leaders are
given, with their sentiments of loyalty
to the new movement.

MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS.
Tests of the Battle Ship Indiana Prove
Most Satisfactory.


The report of the board of naval
officers appointed to conduct the final
or efficiency trial of the battle ship In
diana has been received at the navy de-
partment. 1t shows that the vessel is
worthy of all the praise that has been
bestowed on her. Her hull, engines,
machinery and fittings were found to
be faultless. The trial took place on
the voyage between Port Royal, S. c.,
and Norfolk, Va, which the Indiana
made in 40 hours. Although run under
natural draught and with four boilers
only, she maintained an average speed
Of 1874 knots, an excellent showing for
a ship designed to run Is knots under
the best conditions. The horse power
developed was nearly 5000. There was
very little roll, the maximum being 20
degrees in heavy cross sea. This trial
completes the official testing of the
Indiana and the percentage of the con-
tract price retained to insure any
changes or repairs for which the con-
tractors might be held accountable, will
now be paid to the Messrs. Cramps.

coFFINS MADE FROM GLASS.
The Idea Has Been Revived and Is Said
to BE Practicable.


The revival of the idea of making
collins from plate glass is attracting q
good deal of attention from local deal
crs in the two articles which it is in
tended TO bring together, namely glass
and collins. Coffin dealers, while they
take the matter seriously enough to re-
train from ridiculing it, undertake to
point out its impracticability The
chief objection urged against collins
made of glass is that they would retain
for an indefinite period the decomposed
elements of the body. This is an OBJ
lection which applies as well to metal
lie collins, the use of which is required
by law in many cases of contagious dis
eases.
The chief advantage for collins made
of glass, according to a prominentg glass
jobber on Wabash avenue, Chicago, is
their cheapness. A good coffin could
be made of glass, he said, at one-fourth
the cost of the low grade wood collins
The attempt made by an Ohio concern
about IS years ago tomanufacture glass
collins failed mainly because of the rel
atively higher cost of glassmaking IA
compared with the cost to-day. Glass
is now put to a large variety of uses.
among other things it is made so as
to initiate wood very closely, so that
burial caskets constructed in this way
could be made to have the general APP
pearance of caskets made of very costly
woods.

Turpentine to Stop Bleeding.

Sasse refers to the but slightly known
hemostatic properties of oil of turpen-
tine, though it has met with consider.
able success in dental practice. He
first used it on a patient who for several
hours after an extraction had been
bleeding profusely. A tampon of wool
soaked in the oil led to an immediate
arrest of the hemorrhage. Thereafter
the author was tempted to employ the
liquid in the treatment of scurvy. The
gums were hourly painted with the I'M
diluted oil, which was also retained in
the mouth for brief period, and adj
ministered internally in small doses,
The oral hemorrhage, as well as the CO.
existing hematuria, gradually ceased,
while the patients health improved,
Similarly, a hitherto uncomfortable
hemorrhage from the bladder was cured
by the hourly administration of an
emulsion of the oil.--Popular Science

A Russian DanleI.

A Russian Danlel.
Not long ago Russian judge was
called upon to decide knotty point re-
lating to a promissory note, which the
debtor had made payable on Saint
Henry's Day." Now it happens that
there is no such saints day in the Ortho-
dox Russian calendar. Hence, how
could the court give judgment on
bond in which it could not be said that
the debtor had made default? Yet
justice evidently required that the
lender of the money should be repaid.
Then il occurred to the judge, who had
a share of the shrewdness of Sancho
Panza or the wit of Joe Miller, that the
festival of "All Saints" must necessari-
" include even the dubious saint in
question, and he gave judgment accord
ingiy for payment on that day.-N. y

of order the bowels are constipated, you
have headaches and dizzy spells. It's i'm
possible for you to take as much out-of-door
exercise in the daylight as you need. The
best help you can have in the circumstances
is a simple laxative medicine like Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They will, as
nearly as any medicine can, supply the
want of free exercise which is lacking in
all indoors work They cure dyspepsia,
biliousness and constipation in pleasant
gradual, natural way. There is no gripping
or weakening effect with the Pleasant
Pellets :" they act surely but gently they
promote liver action, and give tone and
strength to the stomach and intestines to do
their own WORK. When you become re-
gular the "Pellets" can be stopped. You
don't have to take them forever. The cure
is permanent.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PLANNED.
Programme OF Field Operations for
1861 Is Approved.

r
1861 Is Approved.
The plan of field operations of the
geological survey for the season of
1s96-97 has been completed and ap-
proved by the acting secretary of the
interior. Five geological parties will
work throughout the summer in the
New England states and eastern New
York, five in the Appalachian region,
two in the coast plain from the mouth
OF the Hudson to the Gulf of Mexico,
five in the interior or Mississippi re.
gion, four in the Rocky mountain re.
gion and eight in the Pacific region.
The usual archaeological work will be
continued. Special attention will be
given to certain fauna and fora in the
coal regions of the Appalachian and
Rocky mountains. Half the $780, 900 ap-
propriated for the photographic work
will be devoted to the gauging of
streams and determination of the water
supply of all parts of the United States
under the direction of Expert Newell,
The topographic work is materially
changed. Lines of accurate levels will
be run throughout the surveying areas,
so that monuments may be established
at points averaging not more than six
miles apart. This is new feature and
necessitates change in the methods OF
party work. The survey of the lands
of the Creek and Cherokee nations in
Indian territory will probably be COM
pleted by September 1, and then there
will remain only the area south of the
Arkansas river.

NAVIGATING MoNkeylNa RAGE.
Attacks a Trainer, slaps a Dog and Yanks
Claws Out of Leopard.

One of the worst of man-eating mon
keys ever brought to this country was
received by Daniel Burns, the dealer in
animals at 1853 South street, New York
city, the other day. The monkey ar
rived from India in consignment of
40 specimens of Simian breeds and is
intended for exhibition purposes. He
has face similar to Johanna's, except
that it is white, and instead of teeth
for incisors has two fangs over an inch
long. Separating him from number
of smaller monkeys was a screen made
of one-eighth-inch wire. During the
voyage he managed to tear the screen
from its fastenings and before the man
in charge could stop him he had killed
four large ring-tailcd monkeys.
When an effort was made by young
Burns, who is a trainer of beasts, to
take him from his cage the animal, with
the strength of gorilla, tore Burns
hands from about his throat and sunk
his fangs into one of them. AS young
Burns let go his hold the monkey
jumped from the cage and made dash
for the rear of the store. A terrier
that has been trained to watch all sorts
of animals made for him, only to be
slapped to standstill in few seconds.
The monkey then perched upon. the top
of a leopard's cage, and as the leopard
stuck out a paw seized it and tore the
claws from it.
He was finally knocked senseiess by
a blow on the head with an iron feed
ing fork and put into cage. He will
probably be placed on exhibition in
Central park for a short while before
being shipped west. He stands about
four feet high, is a bunch of muscles,
has the strength of a gorilla, but weighs
about one-half as much as Johanna or
the late Chico. ,..-vI -,>...; +! n -I.'-'

The Senator Arrives in Topeka
from Washington.
Says That Cuba Will Achieve
Her Liberty.
RESULTOF THE ACTION
Of the House and Senate on Gu
ban Resolutions.
Views on Politics for the Com
ing Summer.

United States Senator W. A. PETER is
at home,
Senator PETER arrived this forenoon
from Washington to be present at the
annual meeting of the Advocate Publish
ing company tomorrow. Senator PETER
owns a majority of the stock in the Adj
vocate company and he wants to per-
sonally superinrend the business of the
concern.
The present trouble in Cuba and the
action taken by congress will result in
home rule for Cuba. according to Sena-
tor PETERS views. He says the concur
rent resolution passed by the senate and
house will have only a moral effect
luton. which would have been
signed by the president, would
have placed the U nited States in an en-
tirely different attitude. He saws Gen.
Weyler is reg arded as a Sixteenth CEN
fury man and that the Spanish govern
ment will be forced to remove him and
the final result will be that Cuba will be
placed in about the same relation to
Spain that Canada now holds to England
Senator PETER thinks congress will adj
Journ for its summer vacation some time
In June and that there will be no general
legislation except possibly bankruptcy
act. He says the members of congress
Ia all three parties see the necessity
of some such legislation and that
bill to allow a man to go into voluntary
bankruptcy is possibility. He thinks
any legislation changing the revenue
laws is out of the question and the sen
ate will hold out for free silver as con-
dition for the passage of a revenue bill
or for any bond legislation
According TO the senator's views
there will be split in both the
Republican and Democratic parties
this year on the silver question. He says
the Democrats may stand by gold stand
ard candidate for the presidency if nomi-
mated by the national convention, but
that the Democrats will stand no show
of carrying any states north or south. If
the gold standard Republicans capture
the Re pu blican national convention and
the silver Republicans remain passive
it is possible that the Republican
candidate may be elected. But if the
with the work of the national convention
go into the silver conference at ST. Louis
in July new party will be organized
under new name satisfactory to all and
it will carry the country.
If the silver men of the old parties go
into the silver conference in large num-
bers the Populists will be willing to sur
render some of their So called ''isIns" of
the Omaha platform and go into the new
organization; but if otherwise the Popu-
lists will make their fight along the
present line and will carry few addi-
tional states and prepare to go into the
fig ht to elect a president in 1870.
