What the volunteers in the field must DO
is not to be impatient or expect too much
in the way of table comforts. AS he pro-
crosses in physical discipline he will find
the ravenous appetite of the recruit dis
ciplined proportionately. He will have
fewer wants every day he is a soldier and
will be the better for 1t. The ration he Is
able to consume now will dwindle and he
will not miss it. AS he progresses in de-
velopment and acquires fully the neces-
sary qualities of the real soldier he will
cease also to be a grumbler and malcon-
tent. He will discipline his appetite and

"The Murder in the Rue MorpueN

Among the ''nouveles diverses" in FL
caro- there is sweet little story which
should appeal to every lover of animals.
A certain M. de v is the possessor of
an orang-outang, named Zoulou-ap-
parently because it halls from Borneo.
One evening Zoulou's master, going out
to the theater, left Zoulou at home to
mind the house. 1t happened that even
ing that a burglar looked in on nj. de
v, but no sooner did he make his
way into the place than Zoulou seized him
by the throat and half strangled him be-
fore. assistance arrived. When the in
truder came to himself the shock of the
unexpected attack was, found to. have
driven him mad. Zoulou may almost
rank with Edgar Poes homicidal ape,

SOLDIERS APPETITES
When First in Camp Volunteers Want
Great Deal Of Food

The appetites which soldiers develop in
camp, especially volunteer soldiers, are
marvellous. AS rule, soldiers taken from
the walks of civil life and put into camps
Of instruction cannot get enough to eat
during the first six months of service, no
matter how much or how good the food
supplied to them. This is, perhaps, the ex-
perience of all the volunteers composing
the armies on both sides of the conflict
during the civil war. The reports that
come now from Chckamauga and Tampa
would seem to indicate that the conditions
among the fresh levies Of the army are in
nowise different, so far as appetite is con-
cerned, from what they were In the early
years of the war between the states, and
always will be among troops for the first
time leading the open air life and taking
the exercise incident to drill and work in
the field.
1t was claimed during the civil war that
a raw recruit would crave and consume
more food during his first six months of
service than in any succeeding year. In
the Confederacy, where rations were short,
it was calculat ted that the longer the serv-
ice the less food that would be required,
and one calculator went so far as to de-
clare that life could be sustained on three
beans day Corn bread, made from coarse
meal was the staple food of many thous-
ands of Confederates. and they were
obliged to put up with even short rations
of that poor food without grumbling. In
the Union army the rations never were on
starvation basis in fact, there was pletny
at all times, but the very abundance
seemed to occasion the grumbling that con-
stantly came from the front.
The statement has been made that some
of the Spanish prisoners who have passed
through our lines during the present war
were impressed, first of ALL by the well-fed
condition of the American troops and the
rich abundance Of the army and navy

The Prussian government owns and

with five iron works and eight works for
smelling the other metals, six salt works
and five quarries, which have an output
of a total value of more than 100000 900

the present time. Miss Reel was an ardent
supporter of william Mckinley during the
campaign of 1896, stamping the state and
working hard and assiduously for the sue
cess of the Republican national and state
tickets The last six months she has spent
in Washington selecting state lands, she
having been detailed by Governor Richards
as the most competent person to accom-
plish the work.
Before going away Miss Reel announced
that she was a candidate for the superin-
tendency of tho Indian schools. Those who
knew her best predicted that she would
land the place. Others scoffed at the idea.
Miss Reel selected the state lands she went
after, though at the same time she was not
idle in her efforts to secure the plum she
coveted.
Miss Reel was a personal friend of Mark
Hanna's and had his backing, unknown to
the other candidates. She was also sup
ported by Senators Clark and Warren Of
Wyoming and Senator Wolcott of this
state
w. N. Mailman of Indiana is the present
incumbent and he was one of the chief
ridiculers of Miss Reels candidacy.
Her competitors IN the race merely smiled
when they heard her name mentioned In
connection with the Office. But 1t trans
pired that Miss Reel was one too many for
them after all. She is well able to fill the
responsible position as she is described as
very Intelligent person, with large
amount of tact and excellent Judgment
She has had also a wide experience
among the Indian schools. The position
pays $500 year. She will make her head
quarters at Cheyenne. The nomination of
Miss Reel will probably be confirmed by
the senate today Her resignation as SUI
perintendent of schools is already in the
hands of Governor Richards.-Denver Post.

Magnetism of the Head

A scientific paper some time ago re-
ported that the following experiment was
made under the direction of the French
Academy Of Sciences, with the body of 6
man who was guillotined. A moment
after the operation the head was placed
on vertical pivot, on which, after some
oscillations, it turned to the north and
remained stationary. 1t was then turned
part way by the professors in attendance
and it moved back into the same north
and south position. This was repeated
until "the final cessation of the organic
movement"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2O.-Dr.
w. Kinnear a London scientist, claims
to have discovered how old age can be
greatly prolonged by abstinence from
certain foods Old age, he says, is to
a great extent due to deposits in our
systems OF earthly matter, principally
carbonate and phosphate of lime, mix
ed with other salts. They pass from
the stomach into the blood. In early
life they are found to be thrown off
by the system. In later years they are
not.
The anatomists all agree that man
begins in a gelatinOUS condition and
ends in a bony one. An infants skull
is soft like rubber, while an aged per-
sons bones are so brittle that they
will not knit when broken. This, ac-
Cording to DR.. Kinnear, is almost en-
+irely the result of diet. OF course, we
have heard that water containing lime
makes the bones develop unusually.
Not only the bones, but, according to
this new theory, all of the organs of

you wish to prolong your youth, there
fore, after middle life, according to
this savant you should abstain from
bread, beef and old mutton, among
numerous other things. These three,
however, are selected by the doctor as
the most dangerous of ordinary items
of diet. And here is the diet for pro-
icnged youth:
Eat an abundance of fruit It is
deficient in nitrogen. Raw, juicy ap
pies are especially recommended. For
other meats substitute fish, poultry,
young mutton and veal. They contain
very little Of the dangerous salts. Eat
moderately of everything. Drink daily
two or three glasses of distilled water,
containing ten or fifteen drops of di-
luted phosphoric acid in each. This
acid, says the doctor, is one of the
most powerful influences known to
science for shielding the system from
old age. All drinking water used after
middle-life should be distilled. Ordi-
nary water contains deposits which aid

This recipe should be more strictly ad-
hered to as age commences to mar
beauty. In youth it is not necessary
to be so strict as toward middle-life.
This may sound very visionary, vet
1t is not at variance with opinions Of
-SCme Of the Wisest anatomists and
chemists. DR.. A. Dechambre, the noted
French anatomist, has shown that the
vital processes which indicate the ag-
ing Of al animal exhibit their inten-
stiles especially in the heads OF the
bones. In infancy the latter are carti-
lege, which gradually and uniform Y
hardens into bone. According to his
estimate, this hardening under natural
conditions should not be so complete
as to cause death until between the
nintetieth and Tooth year In other
words, he finds that death is a result
of Cssification.
