LIVES ON ROOTS AND FRUIT.
New Jersey Man AScribes His Good Health and vigor to vege-
 table. Diet.

1T have attended the funeral of a lot of people who laughed at me for what they call my peculiar way of liv- ing and eating exclaimed Rodolfus Bingham, 75 years old, of Merchants vile, N. J. Mir. Bingham is believer in roots, herbs and fruit as diet and works hard every day with no meat to nerve his arms and back to the toll. He has studied the diet ques- tion with himself as the subject of experiments until he is. able to live comfortably on seven and three quarters cents a day.
 Those who think they must have meat are mistaken" he continued. sIt was never intended that man should eat meat. The best energy for labor and study is developed on a diet entirely of vegetables, seeds and fruits. In my own community my sons and others regard me as a crank. But those who reviled me in times past lived to see me healthy and strong, while to many of them death came early. l attended their funerals

Threatening Conditions Prevail at
 Richmond, Va.
 RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 1.-FIood, fru and general excitement prevail i'll Richmond. The water in the James river has risen to twenty-three and a half feet, within four feet of the level of the great freshet of 1877. Lower Main street and a greater part of Full ton, the extreme eastern section of the city, are flooded. When the freshet was near it's height, fire caused by the water coming in contact with the lime broke out in the plant of Warner. Moore & Co, millers and feed supply men.
 The property is situated on the creeks of the flooded district, and at one time it seemed inevitable that it would be destroyed, but change Of wind and the splendid work of the fire department averted that. The hose was carried over a line of partially submerged coal cars and buoyed on rafts made of small boats. The fire men fought the flames standing up to their waists in water. The fire was confined to the building in which it started.
 It Is estimated that the occupants of some 200 small houses on this and the Manchester sides of the river have been vacated temporarily. The gas works are partially under water and the gas supply cut off. This condition seriously cripples the newspapers, as the metal for their linotype machines is heated by gas. All are working lamps. The incoming southern trains had to run through several feet of wa ter. Bridges are reported gone in va rious sections of the state, and traffic IS greatly interfered with.

Two Odd Gentlemen 1 | from New York -5~ ]
 l By JOHN H. RAFFERTY
noBERT JOYCE, of St. Louis, ss

nOBERT JOYCE, of St. Louis, 35 his office reading the morning paper. He had no practice to speak of, but he had hopes and rich young wife, whose ambitions for his future career as public man were beginning to stir him to something like mental activity. Be- ing good mixer, handsome, eloquent and widely known as 'sgood fellow, z he naturally chose politics for his field of effort, and, as he sat boring over his newspaper, he was figuring in his mind that if he ever got the con gressional nomination on the repub- lican ticket in his district old John O'Brien, democratic and present in cumbent, would give him race for his life, and, probably, beating. There fore he was not overcheerful, and hailed rap on his door with a feeling of relief.
 To his vociferous "Come in!" two ut ter strangers entered. Both were well dressed, of about his own age, of good address.
 "Is this Mir. Joyce?" said one, smil- ing and extending his card as he saw the friendly nod. I'm Howard Beck, of New York, Mir. Joyce, and this is my friend, MT. Smyth, also lawyer"
 'Glad to know you both," said the radiant Joyce, motioning them both to seats. Then MT. Beck drifted swift ly into running fusillade of small talk, stories and witticisms, which, though apropos of nothing in particu- lar, amused and even delighted the friendly Joyce. MT. Smyth occasion ally slipped into the conversation with q 'that reminds me-" and the host him. self soon found that he had ''a few good ones." They swapped stories, smoked Joyce's cigars, and made few trips down the elevator to see the usual fourth party till it suddenly dawned upon Joyce that noon was at hand and that neither of his visitors had told the real object of the visit.
 Then, as lawyers will he began to get just bit suspicious. He acknowl- edged himself that he liked both Beck and Smyth, but what, he asked himself, did they want? Maneuvering to draw their fire. so to speak, he pulled out

his watch. They took the hint, but in- stead of disclosing the object of their long call-they had been with Joyce nearly three hours-they arose and with great friendliness admitted that they had stayed too long.
 ''We've had delightful visit," con- cluded MT. Beck, land we're glad to have met you"
 "Call again some time," murmured the mystified Joyce, shaking hands.
 When they were gone he puzzled over the matter for awhile and then went to lunch. He didn't return till nearly two in the afternoon, but when he opened his door he found Beck and Smyth sitting within waiting.
 They greeted him with fresh vol ley of scintillant stories, jokes and "reminiscences, and before he could make polite display of his astonish- ment he found himself involved in the conversation, laughing with them and ready for more negotiations with the hospitable fourth party downstairs. Nobody but the letter carrier inter- ruted the visit, it was even more pro. longed and pleasanter than that of the forenoon. and the clock was striking six when Mr. Joyce pulled out his watch with an expression of natural bewil. derment.
 They took the hint again, stood up, shook hands, and for moment looked foolish. Joyce thought that at least they only hesitated moment and then rE11-. much for him.
 "Gentlemen," he beloved after them. "before you go would you mind tell ing me what, that is, why, you-you called on me?''
 They came back blushing and loolo ing sheepishly at one another.
 "Glad you ask,' said Beck. s'Ths truth is, MT. Joyce, we came away from New York with good supply of money, Intending to stay two weeks in St Louis. We thought we knew the great American game, didn't we, Smyth But, well, to make long story short, we met some Texas fellows coming out on the train who knew it better. What they did to us was plenty, for we land. ed here flat broke, and neither of US had the nerve to telegraph home for more.'
 "You see," broke in Smyth, "they'd never let up on us at the club if they knew. A New Yorker hates to ad. init"
 "Fact is," interrupted Beck, i've asked the clerk in the Planters if he knew downtown lawyer who was a good fellow and he steered us up here We found he was right, but"
 ssWell?" suggested Joyce, amazed and amused.
 "Well, we haven't had anything to eat yet to-day. We thought you would ask us to lunch, and we came back hoping you'd ask us to dinner, but"
 Why insthe name of Zeus didn't you say so this morning?" roared Joyce grabbing his hat and hooking arms with them.
 Afraid you'd take us for con men, said Beck.

Teunessee River yery Hieh,

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Jan. l. The Tennessee river reached a stage of forty feet here last night and is still rising. According to prediction, it will continue to rise slowly and may reach forty-two feet here. Several factories in low ground here were compelled to shut down yesterday, and working people in the more exposed lowlands were compelled to move out of their houses. Some damage was done by the flooding of basements. The river is falling at and above Kingston, Tenn, and is rising at all points below Chattanooga.

Live stock Lost In Floods.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 1.-Tal- lassee, where the great dam of the Montgomery Water company is locat- ed, $ still cut off from all communica- tion. The Tallapoosa river, which sep arates it from Montgomery, is a raging torrent, and all efforts to cross the stream have failed. Reports from the territory below the dam indicate that much live stock was drowned. There was no loss to crops, as they had been gathered. One of the state farms was in the path of the flood, and the super intendent reports that many hogs and cattle were drowned. The branch line of railroad connecting Tallassee with the main line of the Western Railroad of Alabama is washed out, and trains are not running.

A True Tale of Charity.

During the blizzard of 'e9 I started one day from the central office of the bureau of charities to distribute money to some cases reported for 'sin- stant relief" In an attic I found a poor widow. a seamstress, with one child, a boy, of six. The room was cold and bare; there was no fire; the windows were loose and snow lay upon the floor. The boy had been kept in bed for two days to keep warm. I asked the usual questions and gave the woman two dollars. All this be- fore I discovered the boy. Suddenly his head bobbed from beneath the bedclothes, and at sight of the two bills his eyes became moons. "Gee-e-e. mister! All that for us? Then we can give some to Ted Burns mother downstairs to buy coal. Can't we, mom ?"-Rev. David M. Steele, in La dies Home Journal.

EATING RAW MEAT.
Nearly All Cases of Trichinosis Are Due to This Practice by
 Germans.

That uncooked meat should be eaten by civilized people, and to such an extent as to make it matter of the between two of the most progressive of nations, would, at first sight, seem absurd, and yet the habit of the Ger man people of eating raw pork brings aDout tariff disputes and economic wars with America, says the American Medicine. Thousands of microscopists are employed in Germany to prevent trichinosis. A tithe of the expense and trouble expended in preventing fool ish people from eating raw meat would accomplish the result much more per- fectly. And this under a government both grandmotherly and great-grand- motherly! Dr. Stiles finds that in 274 cases of trichinosis in America, POS were in Germans. The fact is of sig nificance also as an illustration of the slowness of the acceptance of science by the people, and of how indifferent we may become in the matter. Among the most scientific people, and with a most perfectly organized profession, the simple and effective method of pre- venting the disease in question is ig- nored and interest devoted to silly tar- if and ineffective protective devices. Science has in many things outrun practical realization. There is needed a more determined effort on the part of the profession and of the govern ment to bring home to the people the knowledge as yet entirely too the oretic.

The gale snapped of the monster pole at the entrance to the Ford Street bridge, and in fall ing the telephone, telegraph, electric light, fire alarm and trolley wires were aorn loose and carried to the ground in tangled mass.
 Never was such a brilliant electric display as followed witnessed here be- fore. Sheets of flame shot to great height, and there was a continuous blazing of the swaying wires. Many persons going to work were crossing the bridge on the gifders, on which many live wires were lying, but no one was injured. This was probably due to the fact that the bridge was covered with SHOW and ice, and the current was shut off at the street car power house and the tangled wires cut cn each side og fhe bridge, pre- vent1n. danger to pedestrians
