SCENERY AMONG TIE ANDES.

Hezekiah Butterworth contributes

through the Argentine republic. In
writing of the trip across the Andes,
he says: THE scenery in crossing from
one ocean TO the other is indescrlbably
grand, especially in tne mountains.

so smooth that as the brilliant moon
light fell upon it the mountains looked
dazzling white or absolutely black.

Tupungato rises above that as much
higher as does Mt. Washington from
the surrounding country. men, too,

TUBERCULOSIS AND DIET.
Shown Meat Eating Is Not Conducive
to Consumption.

Curious facts noted in London ZOO
logical gardens seem to bear hard
against the theories of the believers in
a vegetable diet for human beings
They are still more opposed to the
growing belief that tuberculosis, COM
monty called consumption, is a scourge
fostered largely by the use of milk and
beef for food.
1t has been found that about % per
cent. of all The birds and animals that
die in the famous Regent Park Zoo
perish from tuberculosis. That is a
proportion twice as great as the aver
age for human beings, though it is not
much in excess of the ratio for man
when allowance is made for deaths in
infancy and early youth. In many
parts of the world about one adult in
every four dies of tuberculosis, direct
ly or Indirectly.
The animals differ greatly, however,
in their liability to this scourge. Rep
tiles are practically exempt. Their low
temperature seems fatal to the germs
of tuberculosis. The mammals show
very large per cent. of all deaths as
| the result of this one disease. Birds
are also much affected. In both the
great classes the meat eaters are far
less likely to tuberculosis than the
vegetarians
Among the mammals that eat only
vegetable food, like monkeys, ante
lopes, deer and kangaroos, tuberculosis
causes 26 ~er cent. of the deaths.
Among the meat-eating beasts, such
as lions, wolves, leopards and wildcats,
| the loss from tuberculosis is only
about 8 per cent of the whole death
rate. The grain eating birds lost by
| tuberculosis lis 80 per cent of all that
die. The meat eating eagles, owls,
vultures and other birds of prey suffer
only IL per cent. of their total loss as
the work of this terrible destroyer.
These contrasts are certainly impress
sive. They are calculated to offset a
good many of the ills attributed to a
diet consisting in large part of flesh,
and they will surely trouble the believ-
ers in the theory that consumption is
spread greatly by the use of beef pro
ducts as food. The tests in the little
animal world of the London ZOO agree
pretty we'll with certain broad facts IL
human experience. Consumption
greatly disappears in Iceland and
among the Eskimos everywhere. There
only flesh is eaten, broadly speaking.
The scourge of tuberculosis is rare
among the nomad tribes of central
Asia. 1T is not common with the
Arabs of the desert. In both cases
animal food is the chief dependence OF
the tribes.
These are facts seeming to point
somewhat in the other direction, but
the balance of evidence appears to be
in favor of the belief that free eating
of meat and much open air living are
good defenses against consumption.

less so are their mercenary marriages.
Among the rank and file occur those
illegitimate unions common to every
garrison town. Among the toilers the
same evil prevails. Militarism acts di-
rectly and indirectly to make them un-
willing to assume the responsibilities
Of marriage. How serious this evil
has become may be gathered from the
report of DR.. Hirscherberg, of Berlin.
In that city alone in 1897, 5000 victims
of these Arbeiter-Ehen, as they are
called, who had been deserted by their
companions, appealed for public re-
lief. In 1895 the number reached
10000 But Berlin is not the only
capital thronging with these unfortu-
mates. They crowd the dark corners
of the cities of all the militant coun-
tries of Europe.

THE DEVIL LOOKED AFTER HIS
OWN.

A negro in Alabama had a quarrel
with white man who in the END
pounded him numerically with a club.
To get even on the score and set one
notch over for good measure, the negro
soon afterwards burned the white
mans home; whereupon all the neigh
borhood of whites rose as one person
and went cunning for Buck, the fire
bug, and in a lonely wood shot him,
so that he lay spread out as fiat, limp,
and as full of holes as a fsh-net.
There they left him. A month later
another house was burned. The cul-
prit was tracked from the embers to
a distant cabin, where he was cap
tured. Everybody's eyes grew large OF
a sudden and stared wildly; every
body's under jaw sagged Like a fools
for it was Buck they had in hand. He
was yet sore enough of his many
wounds, but vigorous and lively.
When confronted by his accusers, the
leader of whom was his old enemy,
Buck confessed and begged for mercy.
His plea did not find favor in the
mob's mind; it was Thought safer to
hang him and add a few more bullet
holes to the many already troubling
him, which was forthwith done. Dur
ing the process of hauling him on high
there was a merry fusillade, and just
as he reached the extreme altitude,
with the pistol-balls raising a great
dust out of his baggy garments, one
missile hit the rope at his neck, and
snip! down he came. His sudden
descent took the crowd by surprise;
but the further fact that he struck
the ground a-runnin';" as the man
who told ME expressed it, actually
dazed them. In short, Buck escaped
by plunging into a dense wood, and
could not be found again, although
the search lasted for nearly a week
night and day. Five years later a man
who knew Buck we'll dropped into
hardware store in Nashville, Tenn
essee, and while transacting some
business CHANGED to catch familiar
ray from the grinning face of the
firms black porter. 1t was Buck, and
the observer held his peace, preferring
not to renew the old acquaintance just
then.-Maurice Thompson in Lippin
colts.

THE STREETS OF PEKING.

A paper on the Streets of Picking is
contributed by Eliza r. Skidmore to
the Century, with pictures by Harry
Fem and w. Fl. Drake from photo
graphs.
Picking is the most Incredible, impos-
sible, anomalous, and surprising place
in the world; the most splendid, spec
tacular, picturesque, and interesting
city in China; Central Asian city of
the far past; a fortified capital of the
thirteenth century handed down in

things that are not Chinese, the con-
trasts and the contradictions. Picking
is by rfist intention permanent Tutar
encampment, a fortified garrison OF
nomad bannermen surrounding Pal
ching, the northern palace of the con-
uuering khan of khans. The Tartar
ruler of four hundred millions of sub
iect Chinese lis closely surrounded by
his faithful Manchu clansmen from be-
yond the Great Wall, who scorn and
hate and secretly fear the masses OF
Chinese more than any outer enemy;
who have thrown themselves into the
arms of Russia through fear of the
Chinese; who have bargained that
Russia shall send soldiers to their aid
when needed; who have held back and
turned back the wheels of progress.
with certain prescience that the new
order would relagate them to poverty
and extinction. Every Manchu is
borne on the rolls as a bannerman, and
receives his stipend, even if he never
bends a bow or hurls a stone in mill
tary drill. But the Manchu banner
men are no longer the fierce warriors
their ancestors were, nor their khan
even a hardy huntsman like the early
Manchu emperors.

to make the splendid capital Marco

palaces, the walls, all date from Mon

Then some quaint military custome OF
the middle ages are observed. The
soldiers are drilled in archery and
uuoits, and the nine city gates are
changed to at sunset, shutting Chinese
subjects out in separate city by
themselves, as if their conquest were
just accomplished.

JAPANESE SUICIDES.

Japanese public authorities are wor-
ried over the increase in The number
of suicides Most of them seemed to
be caused by love, and the simultane-
Gus suicide of two lovers parental in
reference or want of money is becom-
ing frequent. There has been an ave-
rage of thre such cass a week in Yoko-
hama alone during the last year. The
most popular plan of exit is for the
couple to tie themselves together, and,
leaping into the sea or river, die in
each others arms. Suicide has al
ways been regarded in Japan as a
justifable way of avoiding trouble, and
Japanese romances contain many such
instances.-C Chicago Tribune.

DEWEY AND HIS YELLOW SHOES.
Wore a Pair, and Wouldn't be Laugh
ed Out of Them.

When russell shoes of a bright yellow
hue we're introduced, Dewey wore the
first pair that was seen in Washing
ton. They at once became the subject
of jest of all che officers of the Navy
Department.
Early in the afternoon one OF
Dewey's feet began to swell, and his
suffering from his new shoes was
acute. In an interval between the
calls of friends who we're still run
ming" him on his shoes the Commo-
dore sought his chief clerks room. He
walked with a limp, and finally loos-
ened the strings, to relieve his feet.

smile, for those fellows II think they

LUXURIES AND NECESSITIES.

He wanted a straw hat for his son.
Ten cents was the price he wanted to
pay. The merchant showed him hat
priced at Is cents. ''I can buy car
load of them at 10 cents each" "You
can beat us" said the merchant as he
pitched it back into the box. The
man went out, followed by an almost
bare-headed boy wearing a disappoint-
ed look. An hour later that same
man went to a place where drink is
sold, paid ten cents for an ounce of
WHISKY and did not beat down the
barkeeper one cent. The boy still
needs hat.-Sandwich Argus.

HAM-SELLING AS A BUSINESS.

To the long list of curious and I'M
usual occupations by which men live,
the Kansas City Star adds that Of the
"ham-smeller'' in a packing-hOuse.
His duty is to inspect meat products
trier and his nose. He stands IN
barrel to keep his clothes from being
soiled by the dripping brine, and the
hams are brought to him by .workmen.
A ham is laid before him, and he
plunges his sharp pointed trier into it,
withdraws it and passes it swiftly be-
meath his nose. The trier always
zoe down to the knuck1e-joint. In test
ing meat in that manner the man with
the trier judges by the slightest shade
of difference between the smell OF one
pice of meat and another. The smell
of the meat is almost universally
sweet. and that is what he smells; the
slightest deviation from the sweet
smell is therefore appreciable. 1t is
not the degree Of faint that he expects
to find, but the slightest odor that is
not sweet. When he detects an odor
he throws the meat aside, and if it is
not unwholesome it is sold as ere
iected'' meat, but if it is tainted it
goes to the rendering tank. The ham
tester smells meat from o'clock in
the morning until o'clock at night,
and his sense must never become
faded or inexact, or his usefulness
would be at an end. Hamtesting is
not pursuit dangerous to the health,
as ea-tasting is supposed to be, but
the ham-smeller with a cold in his
head is like a piano-player who loses
his arm in a railroad wreck.

NOVEL WAY TO DESTROY A CHIN
NEY.

Here is novel and economical way
of destroying a large brick smoke
stack. The stack was z66 feet in
height and q feet in diameter, and it's
removal was accomplished in the fol-
lowing manner. The brick was re-
moved from one side at about three
feet from the ground, and the opening
thus formed filled with bui1t-up
wooden blocks between which were
packed tar, sawdust and paraf1n. This
material was then set on fire and

caused the chimney to crack and fall
Within space that had previously
been marked on the ground. Not
only was the cost much less than if
the brick had been torn down, but
there was also recovered much mater
ial in good condition for future use.
