The Question Of Diet.

An article by Sir Henry Thompson, On
titled "Why Vegetarians9" in The Nine
tenth Century is an exhaustive treats,
on the subject of diet, He demolishes thu
theory Of vegetarians that they are tota
nbstainers from flesh products, as IN thei,
use of milk, butter and cheese they in
dulge in highly concentrated proteid CON
tanning food Of animal origin, to say moth
ing of eggs, which contain the material OF
the developed chicken. There are few
vegetarians who confine their diet abso,
lutely to productions Of the vegetable king,
dom.
To this practice Sir Henry Thompson
opposes tho argument that no form OF
vegetable nourishmcnt has been discovered
upon which 1t is possible to rear the young
mammal, in which man is included He
wishes to be informed why an animal that
is born into tho world of carnivorous par
ents, which Is solely dependent for its ex
istence upon animal food-milk-should
suddenly adopt q vegetable diet, and at
what age such change should be made.
In the matter of food Sir Henry Thomp
son denies that there is any reason for OK.
elusive forms Of diet. Considerations of
age, personal habits, occupation, climate
and surroundings should be the determin.
ing factors in governing choice of food.
All fads that ignore this principle, wheth.
err they take the form of exclusive adher.
ence to flesh or vegetable diet, arc not
conducive to tho maintenance of health
and physical activity.

what they're up to. But sometimes a
green horse can't be made to take the
switch as he should. He'll shy and

How do we learn him wot to do?

OF course Webster WAS In demand By
those who could afford to pay for his

said to have got the better of the great
defender Of the constitution In an
amusing way, however. He had q
small case which was to be tried al
Nantucket, one week In June, and NJ
posted to Webster's Office In great
haste. It was a contest with a neighbol
over q matter Of considerable local in.
terest, and his pride a. litigant waa
at stake. He told Webster the particu.
lars and asked what he would charge
to conduct the case.

down there the whole week and my fec
would be more than the whole case IL

less than $1,000. ! could try every
case on the docket as well as one, and
1t wouldn't cost any more, for one case

anyway"
"All right. Mr.. Webster" quickly
responded the Nantucketer. Here's
your $1,000. You come down and III
fix it so you can try every case"
Webster was so amused over this
proposition that he kept his word. He

Daniel Webster out to all his friends
who were In litigation and received In
return about $500, so that he got

made a good profit to boot.

Of lesaciss with strange conditions at

will because he had left the sum named
10 found and endow church on the
condition that every Sunday before the
service the whole of the Thirty-nine
Articles were to be read by the clergy
man outside the church door.
| A strange condition was attached to
the legacy the late Sir Edward Bates,
who died last year, left to his married
daughter. He stated that he had seen
his son-in-law's Scotch property, and
he considered it would be gross I'M
Jury to his daughter and her children!
considering there are NO neighbors
within miles, and there is no medical
man within six or seven miles," II she
lived there any considerable time. So
he arranged that, II his daughter stay

from the legacy for the twelve succeed

During this year q gentleman who
died at Mons left legacy Of a60O to
five friends, the money to be spent on
dinners served In different restaurants,
and at each meal certain dish to be
eaten, and certain wine, Of which he
was very fond, to be drunk. Further
more, his memory was to be toasted at
dessert, the five companions were to
dine in black clothes and gloves. and
enter the room preceded by nag and
the music OF an accordion.
A millionaire OF the United States
who died some time ago made provi-
sion that his wife should receive each
year her own weight in gold. SupposI
ing the lady weighed . stone. this
would mean an income of about e7,S12:
but doubtless with such an inducement
she would rapidly put on flesh and
materially in every sense increase her
income.
A wealthy gentleman recently left
his son large fortune on condition
that he shall visit every country In the
world and write book on what he
sees. This work is to be submitted to
professors Of Bonn and Heidelberg uni
and II in their opinion 1t Is
dull and stupid and badly written, the
heir has to either write it over again
or lose the fortune.
