about freely in the prison and palace, and to be
visited by his disciples. This circumstance is
| taken advantage of by Salome, the young step
| daughter Of Herod. who has been quite ruined
by her mothers influence, to tempt the Baptist.
The proud manliness Of the prophet who. In tho

her and excited passions inherited from her
mother. Yielding to them, she carries her en-

The rejected Salome returns to the palace

his voice Is drowned In the roar Of the multi

| Death, often, in q manner or speaking, brings
man to life again, and this not in q spiritual
| sense. Such has been the with Sir Isaac
! Holden. inventor OF the lucifer match and mil
lionaire. who died suddenly week ago at
Keishley in Yorkshire. Had you asked the man
III. la.
Isaac Holden on Aug. H. he would probably
have answered you, in Scottish fashion, with
question. who's Holdenf' But II you had
kept the question till Aug. Il you would have
found your man in the street mine OF informa-
tion.
As we'll as being u scientific inventor. Sir
| Isaac Holden was a scientific liver. And the
fact that he lived to be within hail OF his ninety
| first birthday. and was out and about driving
over the moors the day before he died. speaks
we'll for his system. For breakfast he had q
baked apple, one orange, twenty grapes. and q
biscuit made from banana -four. His midday
meal consisted OF about three ounces OF beef or
mutton. with now and again half cupful Of
soup. II he took little fish. he had SO much
less OF meat. For supper he practically repeated
his breakfast menu. After the system has
been built up. and the period OF manhood has
been reached. all starch foods should be ban
ished from the human diet, was his maxim.
In addition. from early manhood. no matter
what work was in hand. or what weather over
head. he never spent less than two full hours
day in open-air exercise.
Now that the Carlist movement in Spain 10
becoming daily more prominent. an interview
which Don Carlos gave to an English corre-
spondent in Lucerne q few days ago Is attracting
some attention. 1t is freely talked in all parts
OF Spain to-day that the Carlsts will strike their
blow or attempt some form Of coup d'etat be-
fore midwintcr arrives. Two members OF tho
Chamber Of Deputies. Of opposing parties. In
Madrid the other day openly laid a wnger that
another occupant would sit upon the throne OF
Spain before Feb. !. 1898. The incident did not
attract much attention. but everybody under
stood that Don Carlos was meant. The patient
pretender at his Swiss retreat said this about
the situation:
Tho Carist organisation In Spain has greatly
increased In strength and improved in discipline
during the last ten years. 1t strictly observes
the legal limits prescribed to political gather
ings, conferences. &C., and takes the fullest ad-
vantage OF the tolerance accorded by the Con.
stjtution to freedom of opinion and its express
sion. Carists, when taunted with availns
themselves Of privileges which they. were they
in power, would promptly abrogate. retort that
they are exercising rights guaranteed by the
law of the land, and are practically exemplfying
the sound political axiom. 'Fas est Fl ab kostt

suitable to the Spanish national character. which
favors local self government. with strong centra
authority, vested in royalty, OF course and based
