An Apple Eater.

interesting experience in dietetics. 1t

had lived on one meal day, and that
meal was composed chiefly Of apples
Further establishment was evoked by
his reply to my question as to what
he drank, when he stated that the
juice Of the apples supplied him with
all the moisture Of drink he needed
This, he claimed, was of the purest
kind, being in reality water distilled
by nature and favored with the pleas
ant aroma of the apple. He partook
of his one meal about o'clock in
the afternoon, eating what he felt
satisfied him. the meal occupying from

Limitations of Wealth.

The magnificent Metropolitan Club
of New York City has been obliged to
make the humiliating admission that
the patronage Of its 1,0G2 members is
not sufficient to pay its running ex'
penseS.
The announcement conveys a pain
full revelation Of the sad condition OF
millionaire existence The outside
world, wanting in wealth, is prone TO
consider riches as the source and sum
of all happiness, especially of the en-
joyment Of the good things of life. 1t
pictures the fortunate millionaire III
an ideal existence of Capuan luxury
and Sybaritic Indulgence.
The melancholy truth is that the
average millionaire has disordered
stomach, a torpid liver, or weak
heart, and does not enjoy the society
of his fellow plutocrats. Instead of
feasting like Sardanapalus, he care
fully lunches on graham crackers and
milk.
A single indulgence IN terrapin and
champagne would probably separate
him and his millions forever. He Is
usually in bed at 10 o'clock with pill
box close at hand, hot-water bag at
his feet and a flannel nightcap on his
bald head.
The average wage Garner in New
York may earn from $l2 to $2O a
week. but he has to keep his etomAch
in good order to earn his money, and
with his health---of body and of con.
scicnce--he certainly gets more fun
out of life than the average million
aire clubuan New York world.

Perhaps the most striking trait in
Lord Kitcheners character is his dis
inclination to put a married man in a
position of responsibility under him,
He appears to hold the theory that
matrimony interferes with business.
He backs up his precept by example,
for. as everybody knows, Lord Kitch-
ener is a bachelor. Like many not
able parsonage before him he does
not shine in the society Of ladies. 1t Is
related that on one occasion he was
presented to a certain well-known
countess at Cairo, and opened the
conversation by asking:
DO you find Cairo nice in this sea-
son of the year?'
Delightful" she replied
There was a pause of five minutes,
during which Kitchener tugged
thoughtfully at his mustache. Then he
said:
"Ah, am glad"
Lord Kitchener does not claim to be
"a ladies' man. Boston Journal,

AUSTRlA'S NEW MONEY.
NeW Coins, New Denominations, But
Still the Silver Standard.

\ new currency has lccn introduced
into Austrialiungary The Austrian
iorin has disappeared, and with it al
50 the krpuHor, of which there were
100 in tlorin. The new unit is called
the krone lcrowm, and 1t equals half
a ilOrin. one crown contains 100 hel'
lcr and the latter, therefore, equals
half Il krcu2cr.
1t must be remarked. however. that
the introduction of the new currency
does not yet mean the establishing OF
the intended gold standard, but is on
ly Il preparatory step toward ii. The
transition to the gola standard is not
cynected to be affected before two or
three years have passed. So far, there
fore, II crown means nominally silver

standard one crown will equal If. DC,

cows, OR STEAM ENGINES.
Which Have Done the Most for the
Advancement of Mankind?

Ernest Seton-Thompson, author Of
wild Animals l Have Known" "The
Biography of Grizzly" ETC., in writ
ing in the March Century Of "The
National Zoo at Washington" raises
an interesting question as to the rela-
human inventions.
At the beginning of this century
the continent of North America was
one vast and teeming game range.
Not only were the buffalo in millions
across the Mississippi, but other large
game were fully as abundant, though
less conspicuous. Herds of elk, mum.
bering ten or fifteen thousand, were
commonly seen along the upper Mis-.
souri,. The antelope ranged the high
plains in herds of thousands; white.
tail deer, though less gregarious, were
seen in bands of hundreds; while big
horn sheep, though still less disposed
to gather in large flocks, were rarely
out of sight In the lower parts of the
eastern Rockies, and it was quite
usual to see several hundred blacktail
In the course of a single days travel.
But a change set in when the pion-
eer Americans, with their horses,
their deadly rifles, their energy and
their taste for murder, began to In
wade the newly found west. The set
tiers increased in numbers, and the
rifles became more deadly each year;
but the animals did not improve in
speed, cunning or fecundity In an
equal ratio, and so were defeated in
the struggle for life, and started on
the down grade toward extinction
Aside from sentimental or eSthetic
reasons, which | shall not here dis.
cuss, the extinction Of large or high.
ly organized animal is serious mat
ter.
l. 1t is always dangerous to disturb
the balance of nature by removing a
poise. Some of the worst plaques
have arisen in this way.
g We do not know. without much
and careful experiment, how vast
service that animal might have done
to mankind as a domestic species,
The force Of this will be more ap-
parent if we recollect how much the
few well-known domestic species
have done for the advancement of
our race Who can decide which has
done more for mankind, the COW or
the steam engine, the horse or cleo
tricity the sheep or the printing
press, the dog or the rifle, the ass or
the loom? No one, indeed, can pro
nounce on these. yet all on reflection
feel that there is reason in the COM
PARSONS. Take away these inventions
and we are put back century, or per
haps two; but further, take away the
domestic animals, and we are re-
duced to absolute savagery. for it was
they who first made It possible for our
aboriginal forefathers to settle in one
place and learn the rudiments of civil
ization.
And 1t is quite possible, though Of
course, not demonstrable. that the
humble, chucke barn fowl has been
a larger benefactor of our race than
any mechanical invention in our pos
session, for there Is no inhabited
country ON earth to-day where the
barn fowl Is not a mainstay of health.
There are vast regions of South Amer
lea and Europe where 1t is the main.
stay, and nowhere is there known
which is probably more than can be
said of anything in the world of me-
chanics.

MOVE AGAINST CLARK.
Governor Smith Appoints Martin Magin
mis- to Senatorial Vacancy.

Washington, May, Ex-Governor
Smiths appointment of eX-Congress-
man Martin Maginnis makes it abSO-
lutely certain that Mr.. Clark will not
succeed in getting back into the senate
upon his trick credentials. There was
very little doubt of that before and
none at all now. There will be two
sets of credentials for the senate to
consider, and of course both will have
to be referred to the committee on
elections for investigation and report
Even if the Clark credentials arrive
first the senate will not permit him
to be sworn. for it has notice of the
coming of the other appointment,
which is expected here on Tuesday.
Once in the hands of the committee
there is small probability that either
appointment will be reported back to
the senate at this session of congress.
The whole case is likely to go over
without determination by the senate,
both appointments and the resolution
declaring Clark not legally elected fall
ing by the wayside.
In one respect this will be a victory
for Clark, for the chief purpose of his
late extraordinary maneuver was to
prevent Governor Smith sending an
anti-Clark man to fill out the remain
der of this session. But it is vic
tory which has been bought at a very
high price
