wise, his energy win scarcely be sufficient
TO meet all the requirements of an active
life. Yet, on the other hand, man cannot
live on heat diet alone, for experience
has proved that indulgence In meat Is d.
rectly injurious to health.
During the Franco Prussian war the
army before Metz had not a sufficient
vegetable supply, and was for some time
confined to a pure meat diet, while the
army before Paris i'm a similar way suf-
fered from a want of meat, but enjoyed
a auperabundance of vegetables The
consequence were injurious only TO the
army before Metz, where diseases were
increased. while the health of the army
before Paris remained satisfactory Pure
meat diet apparently reduces in the sys-
TEN the power of resistance to infectious
diseases, while the drawbacks of a pure
vegetable diet are rather negative than
positive, and some OF them are avoided if
food Is taken in sufficient quantities

They are well armed and equipped.
Whether or not they intend to join the

I do not know. AS to the results of the
battle on the shore of Leech Lake, the
Indians consider that the Pilager band

some Of these are very cheap There is a
great variety Of bone rattles and combina-
tons OF bone and metal, some of these

JOAQUIN MILLER's FUNERAL PYRE
Directed That His Body Be Gre
mated.
From the New York Tribun


From the New York Tribune.
San Francisco, Oct. 2.-On Rocky Hill,
above his home at Oakland flights, Joa-
quin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, has
just completed a unique funeral pyre.
Upon 1t he has given orders that his body
shall be cremated, and the ashes be al
lowed to mingle with the winds that sweep
in straight from the Golden Gate The
pyre is a solid mass of masonry 10 by 10
feet, and standing feet high. 1t is COM
posed of $40 huge granite boulders, set in
solid cement and laid with skilled hands
to endure for centuries 1t is approached
by three immense steps laid across the
entire west frontage, and of sufficient
hight to permit the bearers to place the
body on the top of the heap. The upper
surface is followed out to the depth of
two feet in the shape of a coffin. Ar
rangements are made for creating a strong
draught, so that when the body is.placed
on pile of wood it win soon be reduced
to ashes Six feet away IS a huge boulder
on which is painted in large white letters:
ITO the unknown"
This is to be Joaquin Miller's only grave
stone Since his return from Alaska he
has talked much of death, though he
seems little affected by the Klondike hard
ships. He expects this winter to put into
verse some of his impressions of the grand
scenery of the far North, and of the pc
culiar life of the Isolated miners. His old
mother who lives in a little house near
her son, regards his tomb as bit of &c
ccntricity. She is well preserved, though
over 10 years, and is tenderly cared for by
her SON.

ference with Gen. Bacon and laid the en-
tire matter before him. telling him, the
general, that ne desired his assistance in
arresting the men wanted. This means

FIGHT ON OVER A DAM.
The Columbus Power Company and
City Mills Company In Court.

City Mills Company In Court.
Columbus, Ga, Oct. THE Columbus
Power Company, of which H. NJ. Conner
of Savannah is president, to-day filed an
important and novel suit against the
City Mills Company. involving riparian
rights of the two companies.
The power company is now building a
massive stone dam across the Chattahoo-
chez for electrical development by water
power. The property of the company is
located just above the City mills property
which has dam across the river.
The power company claims that the dam
is ten feet high, whereas the natural flow
of the river entities them to a dam only
six feet high, thus backing water up on
the property of the power company, less1
ening their power 600 horse power.
The petitioners also allege that by the
building of their power house 200 feet
across the river, the city mills has mar
roWed the channel of the river, causing
water to break on their property, reduc-
ing their power 100 horse power. The pc
tiIioneTs alege that the defendant COM
pany is suilty of maintaining 4 continu-
ing trespass and private nuisance, which
the courts are requested to rectify.
The petitioners asks damages of defend
ant in the sum of 5000. The case Will
create a great sensation. The city mills
company sells electric power to the Co.
lumbus Railroad Company to run the cleo
tric cars and light the city. If power
company wins its case, the mills win have
no surplus power to sell and will have to
reduce their dam four feet.

VEGETARIANIsM.
Experience Proves That Mixed
Diet IL MINIS Best Food.
From the open Court.

From the Open Court
The question of food has no direct, but
only an indirect, bearing upon mortality.
II is more important how we eat than
what we eat. We eat for a certain pur-
pose. We eat In order to live, and our
food must be adopted to the purpose. It
must keep us In good health and must en-
able Us TO be efficient in our work The
question of food, therefore, must ulti-
matey be decided before the tribunal of
hygiene. The gourmand is not the con-
noisseur whose advice should be most
highly valued In eating and drinking, but
the pnysician--the man who knows the
physiology of the human body and its
needs.
The regulation of our diet, although II
has only an indirect bearing upon mortal
ity, Is, nevertheless, OF great Importance,
and its neglect is accompanied with Sc
we're punishments Physicians alone know
how many diseases are due to a neglect
OF the simplest rules of dietetics and
many valuable lives, cut short before their
time, could have been longer preserved
Tor the good Of their families, as well as
for the welfare of society at large.
A mixed diet is apparently the best food
