MEAT DIET NECESSARY.
Men Who Have to Do Hard Work Re-
Quire an Abundant share of
Animal Food.

Every now and then one hears OF
the remarkable good health enjoyed
by those who adhere to strictly veg
etarian diet. And much can be said in
favor of its economy, as well. But
there is reason to believe that some
people are so constituted that they
can get along with less nourishment
than others. Moreover, the character
and quantity of labor performed by
man or a woman has much to do with
their food requirements. The season
of the year, too, is factor in the
problem. In cold weather or a cold
climate fats seem to be requisite to
the production of internal warmth.
And at all times of year persons en-
gagged In hard physical labor appear
to need certain amount of meat.
Norburne b. jenkins, of Chicago, re-
Gently discussed this matter in a pub
lie address, and, although his remarks
were intended to apply chiefly to fac
tory and mill operatives, they suited
the farmer as well. He said:
"The workingman of this country
has to think as he works. He is in no
sense beast oil burden; he cannot
live on grain. 0ne-third of the blood
in his entire body is needed to keep
his brain active. His labor is fiercely
fast and competitive, All this and
more is in his work that is not in
others. He needs rapid nerve repair
ing food, strong red meats. He can
not do such work except with these.
A man might be quiet, intellectual
sage on vegetables, or can be beast
of burden and live on such il he has
the right kind of viscera; but he can
not do fierce, nerve smashing competi-
tive work, or be good soldier without
meat and plenty of it.
Zone needs certain racial, geo.
graphical and anatomical disposition
to be good vegetarian. OF all peo-
pies we Americans are the least so
qualified. The vegetarian races have,
on an average, five to ten feet more OF
intestines than meat eaters, and so
can live and toll on grain and vege-
tables, but they cannot build war
ships, bridges, typesetting machines,
skyscrapers, locomotives, etc.
at is safe to say that this country's
unprecedented use of meat has had
nearly as much to do with speeding
and progressing civilization as either
coal or iron. The American cannot dc
the skilled and speedy work required
of him and meet the worlds competi;
ton, as he now does, unless he has an
abundance of meat"

Ten Is Popular in Russia.

Tea was first imported into Russia
in 1888. To-day each inhabitant con.
sumes on the average nearly one
pound annually. The total consump-
ton is O6,OOO,OOo pounds and the to-
tai cost about $ss,O00,O0o. Tea and
sugar together cost Russia about
$265, 100000 per year. For brandy,
beer and wine the country expends
annually about $560,O0O,000, SO that
something like quarter Of the whole
revenues Of the state are annually
expended on tea, brandy, wine and
beer, with sugar. Exact statistics are
not forthcoming, but it appears that
the use Of tea is increasing rapidly
relative to the alcoholic beverages
consummation devoutly to be wished.

the attachment of the wire to lamp

DOORS AND SMELLS.
French Scientists Propose an Unduln.
tory to Replace the More Com
mon Emissive Theory.

The ordinary explanation of the phe-
nomena of odors and of smells is pre-
cisely that adopted by the ancient
Greek philosophers. They held that
smell particles of the odoriferous body
were detached and transmitted by the
air to the mucous membrane of the
nose. The actual contact of these
emitted particles with the nasal men,
branes produced the sensations OF
smell.
A similar view was held by the an
clients, and even by Sir Isaac Newton.
as to the explanation of the phenom-
ena of sight. Corpuscles were sup.
posed to be darted out in every dircc-
ton by luminous body and to fall
on the retina of the eye. By this con-
tact the phenomena of vision were
produced. The theory of emission OF
light has since the time of Huyghens
been replaced by the undulatory the
DRY of vision. Molecular motions in
the luminous body set up movements
in the surrounding ether-light waves.
These waves travel through the ether
and enter the eye and there set up
corresponding movements of the ele-
ments of the retina, and these move
ments are the cause, and the only
cause, of the phenomena of seeing.
The brain interprets the sensation by
the light Of experience.
NM. Vaschide and Van Nellie have
lately proposed an undulatory theory
of smell to replace the emissive the
DRY, and have enforced it by reasons
too special to be recited here. They
declare that smell does not arise from
direct contact between particles
emitted from an odoriferous body and
the ends of the olfactory nerves, but
that the odoriferous body sends out a
set of radiations analogous to light
waves, X-rays, etc.-analogous but
not similar The arguments Of the
authors of the new hypothesis are i'm
genious, il not entirely convincing as
yet. Their theory deserves and will
receive thorough investigation. In
| the meantime we may consider the
question as an open one. Certain it is
that the commonly received theory
leaves many things unexplained.--N

The Art of Happiness.

There are minor pleasures whose
effect is accumulative and which
make happy life.
Even in choosing to be miserable
we are happy, since there is happiness
in every act of choice.
Among women the desire to work
is not so common that it should be
discouraged.
There is a great deal of difference
between copy and an imitation.
The misery children make for their
parents is well known; the misery
parents make for their children not
80 well.
The two great sources Of happiness
are health of body and strength Of
mind.
In recipes for happiness goodness
must always be the principal ingre-
dent.

In 1895 steel rail on the Great
Northern railway in England broke
into II pieces, causing serious acct
dent. A committee of the board of
trade appointed to investigate the
cause of the breakage has only re-
Gently made its report, after four
years of work on the subject. The
committee ascertained that the par
ticular rail which broke on the occa-
sion described possessed certain alb
normal features, the precise origin of
which remains undetermined, but the
investigation led to several discoveries
of scientific and practical Importance.
Among these is the surprising effect
of cracks in the upper surfaces OF
rails. 1t was found by experiment
that rail nicked with chisel to a
depth of sixty-fourth of an inch
broke under weight of 600 pounds
falling from height Of 10 feet, while
the same rail not nicked resisted the
fall of ton weight from q height OF
70 feet,

Sewing Hints.

Always use double thread for gath
ering.
Always use as fine thread and
needle as the garment will allow.
When threading your needle, make
the knot on the end broken from the
reel.
The rule for frilling is one and
quarter the length of the edge to DO
trimmed.
In facing a sleeve turn it and place
the facing inside the sleeve before
sewing it on.
Gathers should always be set on
the right side, but never with q
needle. Use a large pin.
In sewing seam put the stitches
closely together, but lightly, into tho
clo9h, being careful not to pull tho
thread tight, as this causes the seam
to observation-disclosures Star.

rolled from this and dropped to the
pavement below, a distance Of IL feet.
When found he was in an unconscious
condition.
Drs. Hannig and Haskins were hasti-

his home. There his injuries were
dressed. The most serious OF these was
a cut on top the head. Last evening
he was resting easy and he will re-

drop OF 80 feet, but as it was he struck
the kitchen, which broke his fall and

A Slick Game.

J. w. Odell, of near Jacobsburg. was
arrested on a charge of obtaining
goods under false p%retenses, On COM
plant of T. D.. Jones, the shoe man.
The fellow worked a pretty slick trick.
He displayed a bond of the Frisco Con-
solidaled Mining Company, and would
detach coupons valued at SIS each. He
went to Mr.. Jones and purchased goods
to the amount OF SO and he was given
Sc in cash.
Odell stated that a Chicago Bank
would cash the coupons. The coupons,
however. were returned by the bank,
as being worthless. A letter to the
company was returned unopened. The
young man was fined $40 and costs and
twenty days in Jail. Several other

in the same game and for considerable
more money. The young man is not
out of the scrape yet. as an effort will
be made to bring a more serious charge
against him.
