The Fad Of TeRetariianism.

An article by Sir Henry Thorn pson,
entitled "Why Vegetariansf" in the
April number of the Ninteenth Cen
tury, is an exhaustive treaties on the
subject of diet. He demolishes the
theory Of vegetarians that they are to.
tai abstainers from flesh products, as in
their use of milk, butter, and cheese
they indulge in highly concentrated
protoid-containing food of animal orr.
gin, to say nothing of eggs. which con-
tain the material OF the developed
chicken. There are few vegetarians
who confine their diet absolutely to
productions of the vegetable kingdom.
To this practice Sir Henry Thompson
opposes the argument that no form OF
vegetable nourishment has been discov.
cred upon which 1t is possible to rear
the young mammal, in which man il
included. He wishes to be informed
why an animal that is born into the
world by carnivorous parents. which is
solely dependent for It's existence upon
animal food-milk-should suddenly
adopt vegetable diet, and at what age
such change should be made. In the
matter of food Sir Henry Thompson de.
MES that there is any reason for ex-
culsive forms of diet. Considerations
Of age, personal habits, occupation, eli.
mate, and surroundings should be the
determining factors in governing a
choice of food. All fads that ignores
this principle, whether they take the
form of exclusive adherence to flesh
or vegetable diet. are not conducive to
the maintenance of health and physi.

Until it was discovered that Porto

The Cuban NIachete.

Much has been said 81 the terrible
machete. deadly weapon indeed in
the hands of desperate man, and
when used against defenseless person.
The maohete was never intended for a
weapon of warfare; 1t is an instrument
of husbandry carried by the Cuban
peasant In times of peace, and is his
one familiar daily companion. 1t cuts
his fire wood, aids him in building his
hut. hews his path through the mani
qua. and performs many other offices.
The machette Ia q straight, heavy
blade about two feet long, with a
wooden or bone handle, having no
guard; consequently it Is utterly un-
suited as a weapon to be used in a con-
flict with an armed man. The Cuban,
Of course, by reason of his long famili-
arity with the instrument, is an adept
in Its use. and Its effect upon a group
of unarmed workmen Is truly terrible.

The Nilsson creek district has three
formations-placer. quartz and coal.
At it's mouth is Eagle City, in which
will be established the United States
barracks and the custom house.
Twenty miles below Eagle City is
Star City, guarding the mouth of Sew

has been worked for many years. On
Barney creek, from three to six ounces
to the day has been taken for the last
three years. The other tributaries are
as good as Barney, but it is ouly now,
when people are spreading out, that
much work will be done. A number
of men are now at Star City getting
their outfits up to the mines.
From Seventy-mile5 to Circle City
has been prospected, and creeks are
found here and there which give good
Indications. Coal. and Sheep creeks
promise especially we'll. and also the

Circle City has been practically de-
serted since the rush to Dawson but the
riches of Mastodon, Independence.

will revive the town. A moderate
fortune can be made in that district
in two years of hard work. Miners are
returning to Birch creek from Dawson.
They appreciate a district In which
there is no royalty, no wood and log
tax and no timber grants.
Across from Circle City Is Jefferson
creek. which is now being prospected
for Its whole length. 1t will be cheap
ly worked, because of being 30 readily
accessible to the Yukon river.
Further down is the Minook creek
district, which has been thoroughly
advertised this year. 1t has developed
some claims which have paid $27,
$a5, 900 and $4,000 for the winters
work. The country is to great extent
an unknown quantity. The discovery
of Idaho bar, from which men have
taken out 500 day with rocker, is a
great boom for the district, and the
prospects of the camp are extrem ely
bright.
A great country will be opened up
in the Koyukuk. 1t has been known
to miners for 10 years, and no pros
pector who went in there has failed
to bring out good grubstake. The
territory to be worked is of vast ex-
tent. and offers many opportunities to
the new conner. Tsnana, Kuskoquim
and Chandler rivers have all been
brought prominently to the notice of
mining men this year. All things con-
sidered, the American side would seem
to be the place of the future.
As for Dawson City itself. 1t is un-
questionably the greatest mining camp
in the world. Frank Canton, United
States deputy marshal In Circle City,
and in former years an officer of tn
peace in many of the largest camps OF
the West, has said that nothing he has
ever seen approaches Dawson as model
mining camp. Accustomed as he has
been to dealing with the toughest GLASS
of criminals, his commendation of
Dawson, as a law-abiding town. has

For the Babies Who "Toe In"

The little tots who are inclined 10
''toe In" when they begin to walk can
have this fault quickly rectified if at
tended to in time. The mother OF
nurse should rub (at least twice day.
the outer side of the little legs with a
firm upward stroke.
This can be done regularly when put
ting baby to bed, and at such other
times as may be convenient. When
the little one climbs into your lap for a
"cuddle" or story is good time.
Hold the little foot in your hand in
the correct position. Recollect, do not
rub down. and not on the inner side of
the leg. The object is to nuIish and
strengthen the outer muscles. which
are proportionately weak.
Begin below the ankle and rub to
the knee. slowly and quickly, but not
too lightly. This treatment faithfully
persevered In will soon correct the
trouble.

The output of the mines of the Yu-
kon district this year. while it has
reached between $40, 900, 900 and $l5,-
900, 900, has disappointed even the
more conservative estimates made last
fall, and based on the prospects then
existing. Three things have contrib
uted to shorten this springs clean up:
The Canadian royalty, lack Of men and
lack of strengthening food. One of the
most prominent civil engineers on the
Pacific coast. who has spent this winter
in the mines, has said:
Considering the fact that less than
1000 poorly fed men have gotten out

quits il the clean. up had been completed
this spring. But hope that the roy
alties may be called of, and the
early drying up of the water which
could be used In sluicing, has caused
many big claim owners to leave about a
third of the dirt taken out on the
dump, The wash-up mas been COM
pleted on very few claims. and on
fewer still can statement be obtained
as to the real amount of the cleanup.
This makes 1t impossible to state posi-
lively the output Of the mines.
OF the less known streams, Dominion
creek is giving evidence of mineral de-
posits which may make it known as the
richest strike yet made. The conflict
of claims. owing to the two discoveries
allowed, is about settled, and there Is
nothing to interfere with the develop
ment of the mines.- Hunker creek is

the country. is spotted. Gold Bottom

Many other creeks which promise we'll
have not been sufficiently developed to
make an estimate of their wealth safe.
So many are the disadvantages in
mining in the Northwest territory that
attention Is being once more directed
to mines on the American side. 1t is
believed that many surprises are in
store in this direction. Forty-mile
creek has been relocated and many new
ciaims recorded. Chicken creek, which

they will run a long distance. So, to
prevent driving them from their winter
