a Hygienic Home.
From Munsey's Magazine


My wife and I are trying hard
To live on healthful diet;
We read the food chart by the yard
And run our kitchen by it;
We've banished from our bills of fare
All that such guides condemn;
True hygiene is all our care,
AS planned and taught by them.
For breakfast, coffee is tabooed.
Hot cakes and eggs forbidden,
And milk, since it is oft imbued
With germs profuse, though hidden;
Bread Is unwholesome, so is steak;
Submissive to our lot,
Oatmeal and graham gems we take,
And drink boiled water hot.
For dinner, soup will never do,
And oysters typhoid nourish;
Salads, entrees, and ices, too,
Are mere dyspeptic flourish;
Potatoes (by the last advice
Are poisonous we're told;
We eat rare meat chopped fine, with rice,
And drink boiled water cold.
For supper-some professors teach
IT'S best to go without 1t,
But since discretions left to each,
We take our choice about it;
On chicken, waffies, tea and cake,
We are forbid to feed;
But gluten waters, cocoa (weaN,
And prunes are all we need.
1t grieves us much our friends to view
So reckless In their Diet
Our wholesome menu we pursue
And beg of them to try it;
But appetite's ungodly sway
Their nature so enthralls,
We cannot get a guest to stay
Within our healthful walls.

Why Juntice Is blind.

the man was guilty, but, really, sir. you
swept away all the prejudice had formed
against him. You presented things so
clearly that there was nothing left for
the jury but to acquit him. and am glad
that he is free"
Thank you" said the lawyer, at am

I am so glad that he was innocent after

Yes, so am l. BY the way. if you or
your friends ever get caught in any crook
ed work give me call, and I'll promise
to make you just as innocent as the man
who was acquitted a few minutes ago.
Here is my card, sir. Good day, SIR
For a long time the citizen stood there
apparently in deep study At last he
shifted his weight from one foot to the
other, and said to himself:
We'll, by gum. / guess / know now
why justice is blind. It's because them
blamed lawyers throw so much dust in

A Friend in Need.

Der of rival faction in a faction fight
The judge, reluctant to sentence him to
death on account of his youth, turned to
him and said: rs there any one in court
who could speak as to your character"
The yklth looked round the court, and
then said sadly: There is no man here,
my lord, that know" At that my grand
father CHANGED to walk into the grand jury
gallery. He saw at once how matters
stood. He called out: you are a queer
boy that don't know friend when you see
him.
The boy was quick-witted; he answer

to see your honor here this day." ''Well,"

outlook Tor the KIondike.

The most extraordinary expectations are
entertained in respect to the Klondike
mining fields. Capt. Bevan, a bearer of
dispatches to the Canadian government,
who arrived at Juneau from the gold fields
a few days ago. said that S5O,OOO0OO in gold
would be brought from the Klondike dis
trict as soon as navigation opened in the
spring. His statement is doubtless eXag-
gerated; still it indicates that a vast
amount of gold has been taken from the
mines and that they are exceedingly rich.
Capitalists have faith in the future of the
Klondike mines. Members of the great
banking house Of Drexel & Co of Phila-
delphia have just launched Klondike
ming company, having a capital of
pany, of which Mr. Cramp, the shipbuild-
er, is president, has been formed with
capital of 100000. This company has ac-
quired five steamers and will add others to
it's fleet as soon as they can be obtained.
The steamers will ply between San Fran
cisco or Seattle and St. Anchaels. They
will transport passengers and freight to
the Klondike gold fields.
Clearly the preparations for big bus
mess with the gold bearing sections of
Alaska are being made on a large scale.
If the gold fields meet expectations they
will have an extremely important bearing
upon economic and financial questions
which are now disturbing the civilized
world, and particularly this country.

The "Republic'' of Hawaii.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem.).

The present republic has robbed the
masses of their liberties; 100000 persons
are governed by some 5000 aliens. This
condition of affairs Mr.. Morgan asks the
Hawaiians TO perpetuate by yielding to an
nexation with their present hated consti-
tuition. Under annexation the native would
be worse off than our Indians. The sena-
tor ought to make an end of pretenses.
He knows that he wishes to annex Hawaii
not for the good of les people. but for the
benefit of a few aliens. If the project
were submitted to a popular vote IL would
be rejected in the United States, as we'll
as In Hawaii.

Young Beckwith, who has married the
granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln, is
said to be without social distinction. His
family tree neither runs back for hun
dreds of years nor boasts branches of en-
inence. But Beckwith himself makes up
all that his family lacks. He is a great
foot ball player. is handy with the boxing
gloves, can pitch a good game of base
ball. and can sprint a hundred yards along
with the fastest men on the track He
played base ball in the Texas league one
season and was formerly half-back on
the Wesleyan foot bali team. What more
could the Granddaughter of a President
want?

WHAT BARBARlANS EAT.

Old Women on Cape HOrn-Dogs In
China Dogs Always Thought Edible.
Darwin relates somewhere that
when the inhabitants of TERRA del
Fuego are pressed by famine they kill
and eat their old women rather than
their dogs. The Chinese, however,
tend and fatten their dogs carefully
to eut. They also consider the cat a
choice dich. At Peking and through
out China there is no dainty repast
without its fillet or leg of dog; the
cat is rather a dish of the poorer
classes.
History tells us that in early times
dog was always regarded as on edible
animal. The inhabitants of certain
homes of Egypt piously embalmed
their dead dogs, but others considered
that it was more in conformity to the
doctrines of wise economy to kill and
eat them. Plutarch tells us that the
dwellers in Cynopolis, where dogs
were honored as divine, made war ON
the Oxyrinchis, who had committed
the sacrilege of eating dogs.
The savages of North America, for
lack of provisions, often sacrifice their
companions of the chase. We are
told that before the introduction of
cattle the Spaniards in Mexico used
the native dogs so freely as food that
the species has now completely dis
appeared.
The Greenlanders and the Kan.
chatkans also sometimes eat their
dogs, but only when reduced to this
cruel extremity by famine. In Africa
dogs form the food of certain tribes ;
in the Ashantee county the flesh is
eaten both fresh and dried. And it
appears that in the lower Congo
region, among the Batekes, there is a
custom that must make every friend OF
dumb beasts rage with Indignation
before killing dog for food it is NAL
treated and tortured, to make the
flesh more tender. York Jour

Man is not the only animal which
indulges in fishing. Up at Vancouver
there is man who will back his dog
to catch more fish in n day than any
man can. The animal is Newfound-
land, six years old, and as fisher
man he is simply a wonder. Every
morning he goes ont on dead log pro-
iecting into the water several feet.
He never takes his eyes from the
water as it rushes by. Suddenly he
leans the fore part of his body and one
paw far over the log and then, with
tremendous force, strikes into the
water with his paw, clinging to the
log with the other three feet and the
rest of his body. Seldom does he fail
to hit the big fish with the stroke, and
if the blow does not kill the fish out
right, crunch of his terrible jaws
completes the work. The blow usu-
ally lands the stunned or killed fish
back over the log into quiet pool,
from which it cannot easily escape.

operating them has just given out an
order for 100 new vehicles. During
June, the first month of their opera

received, averaging between thirty-two
and twelve per day, carrying 1880 pas

at speed OF ten miles an hour. This
consumption of power is trifle over
two and one-third times that of similar
work on rails, which indicates that the
equipment of the battery is carefully
adapted to the total weight of the vehi-
Gle and just sufficient for practical
travelling capacity. The maximum
weight of battery for hanson weigh
ing 5000 pounds is 1900 pounds for a
distance of twenty-five miles at the
maximum speed of twelve miles or at
m average speed of six miles.

TWO HOTELS.
Both Expensive structures, but Conducted
on Different Plans.

Both Expensive Structures, but Conducted
on Different Plans.
Recently two new hotels were open
ed in New York on the same day.
Each belongs to q millionaire and each
is an expensive structure.
One of them, the Astoria, joins the
Waldorf and is conducted in connec-
ton with that hostelry. The Astoria
is the most magnificent hotel in the
world. Its lowest rate is enough to
amaze the ordinary citizen, while it
has one suite Of rooms for which 5000
q day without board is charged.
The Mills house stands at the other
end of the scale Of prices. It was
built and is conducted on the theory
that good hotel can charge very low
rates and yet make profits. The Mills
house is fully as we'll built as the As
toria. It's rooms are as we'll lighted,
as well ventilated and quite as COM
Portable. OF course they are small
and plainly furnished, but they are
bright, clean and healthy. The regu-
lar price for room in the Mills house
is 20 cents day. A good meal is
served for Is cents, but the restaurant
offers a great variety and the guest
may spend much more than Is cents
If he desires to do SO.
1t is already evident that this ex-
perimental hotel is going to be very
popular, and it will probably prove n
financial success also.
Before noon on the day the Mills
house was opened IT'S men had taken
rooms and 100 more took dinner there
that day. The average number OF
guests is now over 200 day.
Mr.. Mills insists that his hotel is
not intended to be n charitable insti-
tuition in any sense. 1t is conducted
on business principles and its owner
believes it will pay. He believes that
there is demand in New York for
such hotel rs he has built and that
it will be supported by clerks, stu
dents and small business men who
want clean, well prepared food and
well ventilated rooms, but who are not
able to pay the usual hotel prices. 1t
is an interesting experiment, and we
hope to see it succeed. Jour.
