A NAIL CLERKS EXPERIENCE.
And What Came of 1t.

The occupation of a railway mail clerk
is peculiarly arduOuS and llnwhOleSOme,
long hours of work requiring the closest
attention, nearly always standing con-
fined LII a Stuffy car, as well as the con-
tinual vibration of rapid motion, make
this occupation an undesirable one from
a health standpoint.
A railway mail clerk on the Michigan
Central running between Detroit and
Chicago says: I'm common with many

WALSER'S linden DIGEST OF
CRIMINAL LAW.

To the Editor: This is one of the best
law books yet published in North Caro-
INA. 1t contains about six hundred pages
double column. It's plan is most excel
lent and It's execution faithful and pains
taking. Ut reflects great credit ON Mr.
Nalser, and it will save it's value. in
llme, the hrSt serious case in the criminal
law the practitioner needs to investigate
after he has obtained the book
Not ondy the decisions but the criminal
statutes also are indeXed and digested
I under appropriate heads and sub-heads.
AS may be expected from its title SIN
deX Digest the memory is assisted by in
ueNnlg the legal principles under several
heads. HE memory lis still further as
sisted by uslngas titles the subjects as

solvent Debtors" Justices of the
Peace" Minors Master and ser
want Marriage "Public Officers .
Power" Ordinances. Pardon" "Wit-
ness etc, will be found the decisions
and statutes collected and digested relat-
ing to those subjects. although they are
appropriately indexed also under the
heads of numerous principles invoked.
Again the law respecting witnesses. for
example, which is collected under that
head taS under amy other head taken at
random) is most industriously repeated
under a score of other heads showing the
relation of that law to principles digested
under the following titles: 'Affidavits, .
Arrests" "Accomplices, Confessions, y
Character" iCorroborations. COSTS"
Dispositions, Examinations, Eek
perts,' ''Hearsay," "Opinions," "Privil-
eyed Communications, etc. The value
and Importance of these tables of cross
reference found under each title can hard
ly be over estimated.
Again taking the title Larceny" for
example, we find besides the digest of the
statute law, two hundred and twenty
eight cases collected and digested under
appropriate sub7heads: over three hun
bred under "Murder,' about hundred
under MAN Slaughter" ninety under

TRINITY COLLEGE NOTES.
The Christmas holidays ended Janua-
Ind, and work was renewed Wednesday
morning with nearly all of the students
present. Sixteen new students have come
to the Park since Christmas, although
the second term of the college year does
not begin till February !. Only one of
these was admitted to the Freshman
Glass Several of them entered the High
School here and two of them not having
been admitted to Trinity went to other
Colleges in the State. With the present
admission requirements and the present
standard of scholarship at Trinity, stu
dents are not advised, except in rare in
stances, to enter college in the middle of
the year, when the work of the Freshman
class is half advanced. A num-
Der of students who were refused adj
uary, returned to the Preparatory School,
and came back to enter in September,
and now they are among the best stu
dents in the Freshman class.
The Current Topics Club held it's reg

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.

Also a Few Facts ON the Same Subject.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hyGienic living. about vegeta-
rianism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the lar
ger cities where no meat. pastry or cof-
fee is served and the food crank is i'll
his glory, and arguments and theories
galore advanced to prove that meat
was never intended for human stomachS.
and almost make us believe that our
sturdy ancestors who lived four score
Years i'll robust health on roast beef,
pork and mutton must have been gross
ly ignorant of the laws OF health.
Our forefath.rS had '.ther things TO
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. 4 warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides TO follow in matters
of diet. and a mixed diet OF grains,
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
As compared with grains and vegeta-
bles. meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form and is
ulSpSlpu anu dSSlullIdleu ulOre QUICKLY
than vegetables and grains.
Dr. Julius RemmSon ON this subject
says: ''Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat meat and plenty of it. If the
digestion is too feeble at first it may
be easily corrected by the regular use Of
Stua1t's Dyspepsia Tables after each
meal Two of these excellent
tablets taken after dinner will
digest several thousand grains
of meat, eggs or other animal food in
three hours, and no matter how weak the
stomach may be, no trouble will be ex-
perienced if a regular practice is made
OF using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets be-
cause they supply the pepsin and dias-
tase necessary to perfect digestion, and
every form Of indigestion will be over
come by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
its proper digestion by the daily use of Il
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of
the natural digestive principles, pepsin,
diastase, fruit acids and salts. which
actually perform the work of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerad-
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual d.
gestion of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is sim
ply a failure of the stomach to digest
food and the sensible way to solve the
riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make
daily Use Mt meal time of a IfeISa ra ton
like Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. which
is Endorsed by the medical profession and
ciples.

''Is Cheap Literature Making Litera
ture Cheap" is the subject of a debate
in New York between Prof Harry
Thurston Peck and s. S. Mcclure. In
his argument in the affirmative, Prof
Peck said:
The man of few books is becoming
rare; the man of lnultitudinous books is
becoming q nuisance. Readers cheaper

of TrollOpe or Thackery. Too much is
read and too much is written. The

one must keep up with the new books.

literary notes, and after that, of course,
reads no literature at all There

tacle of one fighter winning from his op- ponent twice in the same ring.
 The bill included a six-round go between Dal Hawkins of California, and Young Kenny, of Chicago. Hawkins started rush ing at once and in the first round landed a left swing in the pit of Kenny's stomach which put the latter down, sick and dazed for nine seconds. He got up but dropped again and this time stayed down for four teen seconds. Referee Bardell started to announce Hawkins the winner. but yielded to the clamor of the crowd and Kenny's s exclamation that he could continue, and told the men to go on. Hawkins, furious at what he considcced an unjust decision, went for his man hammer and tongs and at the end of the fifth round Kenny's sec onds threw up the sponge.
 IT bout between Oscar Gardener and Tommy White was unsatisfactory on ac- count of previous agreement that there Shcald be no decision were both men on their feet at the end of the sixth round. Probably for this reason neither man ex- erted himself much until the last round Whites sta'Jping left gave him clear lead throughout. As giving line on his form in the coming match with Terry McGov- ern, Gardeners showing was disappolnt- ment.
 Referee Siler said after the bout that had he been called on to render decision, It would have been in favor of White without question.

CONSUL MACRUM
 HAS PROOF READY Torn and Resealed Envelopes Opened by British Censor
 in His Possession.

New York, February 20.-A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Washing ton says:
 Charles F. Macrum, late consul at Pre- toria, furnishes proof of his charge tha. the United States official mail was opened by the British censor. Mir Macrum has several envelopes, each bearing the British sticker applied to the envelope after it had been opened by the censor
 "He has one envelope which contained mail matter from Consul General Stowe at Capetown. It Is the regulation blue of the consular service. It bears upon it's face the legend, United States Consular Service,' and a stamp, mail suspended On the re- verse side is the United States government seal impressed upon the red sealing wax of the consular service. The British stick CT, re-sealing the letter after it had been opened, bears the potential initial w. R., the initial of the clerk who opened the let ter, and the name of the place where it was opened
 This letter was mailed at Capetown Oc- tober 4, by Consul General Stowe. It was held there one month, apparently, for the next postmork. is that of Durban, dated November 4. From Durban it was sent to Pretoria and reached MT. Macrum in it's mutulated form.
 ''The circular to the consus issued by the depar tment, not in themselves impor- tant, but nevertheless official mail,' never reached MT. Macrum. They were confis- cated without apology or explanation by the British censor. As for Mir. Macrum's personal mail, he never heard of it.
 "The British authorities are familiar vita the American consular code. On November MT. Macrum sent cablegram in code to the state department urgently requesting that he be permitted to come home. Usual ly calblegrams, because of the difference in time between South Africa and this .coun- try, consume two days in transmission that is to say the cable sent by Mr. Mac rum on November would normally have been received by the state department on November 10. But on November g, before the cablegram was received by the state department certainly, and before it was sent from South Africa probably, the Brit ish papers in Natal, hundreds of miles away. announced in impressive type that MT Macrum, the American consul at Pre- toria. desired to be permitted to go home.'
