MONTAGUE " HITE VISITS HAY
Washington, Jan. 2.-Montague White,
consul general of the South African re-
public in London, called at the state
department this afternoon and had a con-
ference with Secretary Hay. He did not
appear In an official capacity.
New York, Jan. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says: Mon
tague White will be received as the con-
sular and diplomatic representative of
the South African republic. The state
department has formally determined up
on such action and Mr.. White has been
given an intimation of this intention.
When ne gets properly executed creden-
tials, which are expected within ten days.
he will present them TO Secretary Hay
and enter upon his official career. Pend
ing the receipt of these documents he
will maintain a diplomatic silence and
make no representation in behalf of his
government The precedent for receiv-
ing Mr.. White is found in the case Of the
United States consular and diplomatic
agent at Cairo, Egypt, the only analogous
case. Though Egypt is under Turkish
suzerainty, and the United States has a
minister at Constantinople a consular
and diplomatic agent is accredited to
Egypt"

unofficial, and that no one has any right
TO attach any official or political signifi-
canoe to his movements.

Macrum, who arrived here yesterday,
states that he is not the bearer of any
message or communication from the

The Science Of Eating.

At recent meeting Of medical men
DR.. F. A. Burial spoke of the amount
of mischief done by the very common
habit OF eating the meals rapidly.
Thorough mastication was of the ut
most Importance, and, Of course, this
rresupposed a proper condition of the
teeth. Gastric digestion was often
weakened and much distress was
caused by taking in too much fluid
with the food, particularly at the be-
ginning Of a meal. Another factor in
causing dyspepsia was the habit Of
eating food in silence or without that
mirtl md good fellowship so ncces-
sary to insure the normal action Of
the digestive organs. These little de-
tails might seem trite and unimpor-
tant, but it was Gle duty of the care
full physician to instruct his patients
in regard to them. The long-contin-
ued and free use Of digestive agents
served to make the digestive organs
lazy and nactive.-Medical Record.

Electric Light for Hunting,

A Portuguese inventor has patented
an application of the electric light to
fox and badger hunting. The fox and
the badger are animals that live in
dens underground and terriers and
other kinds of dogs are used to dig
them out of their burrows or to fight
and kill them underground. The in
genions Portuguese conceived the
idea of attaching an electric lamp to
the collar of the dog so as to light the
way for him in his descent into the
hole and Of making the light colored
SO as to scare the animal and cause
it to rush forth to its destruction.
