ton is in circulation in this city asking
the officials of the Southern Pacific Rail-

Theosophy owing to the location of a

President Blackmeer said Here will
be taught the purest religion that the
world has ever known. Students will
be instructed in its mysteries and they
will be taught how to teach them to
others. The mysteries of these occult
laws have been lost to the world for
thousands of years, but there are per-
sons who have preserved them and
taught them to others during this long
period of darkness and the time has
now arrived when they should be re-

A Warming to Writers.

1t is stated that Father Lainez, the COM
panion of Loyola, would probably have
been made a saint long ago were 1t not
that his handwriting was so bad that no.
body can read the manuscripts he left.
His perfect orthodoxy for that reason must
forever remain not matter of doubt ex-
actly, but not susceptible of proof, which
Is, it seems just as fatal as heterodoxy so
far as attaining recognition as saint Is
concerned. There is here surely a warn
ing which all should heed. 1t has long
been known that illegible chirography is a
constant cause of sin in those who have
to read it, and especially in copy readers
and compositors, none of whom has ever
won place on the church calendar sim
ply because 1t is impossible to maintain
serene and forgiving mind while strug-
Cling with the hieroglyphs constantly pre-
sented to them by editors, reporters and
old subscriber. Thus two great classes of
people who live wholly tlameless lives
have been robbed of glory. Now it appears
that the writers themselves, at least occa-
sionally, suffer an equal deprivation.
There is much consolation in this thought
for some of us-New York Times

Finds With Meals.

The arguments presented by many
writers seem to prove that the moderate
taking of fluids with the food at meals Is
not without benefit. But the importance
of the thorough mastication of food before
il is presented to the stomach must never
be overlooked. If this is interfered with
in any way by the use of liquids, we must
promptly prohibit their indulgence.
Fluids may be taken ad libitum during
meals 10y those whose digestive powers
will allow it, but such persons should keep
in mind that the strongest stomach may
be abused too far, while those stomachs
already unequal to a severe strain should
be especially careful as to the quantity Of
fluid imbibed with the food.
The saliva is the best lubricator for the
food while it Is in the mouth, both be-
cause of its starch digesting uowers and
because it's alkalinity serves to stimulate a
copious flow of the acid secretion of the
stomach.
Any habit, therefore, which permits the
entrance of food into the stomach before
it is thoroughly Incorporated with saliva
must be pronounced pernicious in the ex-
IRENE.
If we cannot afford the time necessary
for masticating our food properly and in
cooperating it thoroughly with saliva, it
would DO better to take nothing but broths
and similar foods. The use of water and
other liquids as lubricators is not to be
tolerated.
On the other hand, If we bear in mind
the whole mechanism of digestion, it will
readily be seen that in cases of weakness
or want of tone on the part of the muscles
of the stomach, when every part of the
food cannot be properly presented to the
action of the digestive juices, the introduce
ton into the stomach of moderate
amount of water may be of no slight bene-
fit The mass of food will become more
pliable, and so more easily operated upon
by the weakened muscles New York

De Lesseps' Diplomacy.

When De Lesseps was in Egypt as presi-
dent of a sanitary commission in 1884, 1t
became his duty to inspect great num-
Der of convicts in the Egyptian galleys,
and among these he found upward of 400
Syrians from Nazareth, all Christians.
The NaZarenes begged him to do some
thing to get them free. De Lesseps set
about procuring their release. AS Me-
hemet ALL the viceroy, had reasons for
wishing to stand we'll with the French, he
told DE Lesseps that he would quietly pro-
cure the liberation of five prisoners n week
until they were all free, but presently De
Lesseps' doors were beseged by the rela
tives and friends of the remaining prison
ers The Frenchman was so nearly torn
to pieces by these importunate people that
he purposely had one of his suits of clothes
literally torn into tatters, and on the next
occasion, when he was to see the yiceroy,
he wore it.
Mehemet was astonshed at such an ex-
traordinary costume. what has happened
to you, Nj. lie Francais?" the viceroy asked.
ooh, your highness," answered De Les
seps, "no one but yourself has put me into
this plight, for in ordering that those Naz-
arenes should be set free at the rate of five
week you have left me the prey of the
families of those who remain in the gal
leys They are tearing me to pieces, and
so it will be as long as any are left. There

piece of diplomacy, ordered that all the
prisoners from Nazareth should be liber-

A marked advance has been made by

that he might help us out. He saw the
