remark that that mysterious Bowdoin-
ham mirror isn't the least bit mysteri-
ous--that Mr.. Warren thinks" he sees
outlines of familiar faces. but that the
editor of the Record thinks he
doesn't The Record has made a
psychical research. and this is the edi-
tors conclusion: 1T is evident that
the mirror has been affected by light or
heat so that the quicksilver on the back
has disintegrated, causing a dimness

The Eowdoin and University of Maine
relay teams both covered themselves
with glory at the annual mid-winter
meet of the Boston Athletic Association
at Mechanics hall. Saturday evening
The Bowdoin boys won their race from
Brown in minutes and 20 80 seconds.
and the Orono team defeated Tufts in
3 minutes and % seconds. Neither
team was pushed to its limit of speed
as both won their races by 4 lead of
many yards over their adversaries.
These victories reflect much credit up
on the Maine athletics who do not have
such good opportunities to train for
these winter races as their opponents
enjoy. Eowdoin has sent relay team
to this meet for half Il dozen winters
and has earlier Victories over Amherst
and Mass. Institute of Technology to
its credit. This is the second winter
that the L. eff NJ. has completed, its
team being beaten by TuftA n year

DIET AND TEMPER.
Claim That Meat Eating Tends to
 Sour the Disposition.

From the New York Telegram.
 A butcher claims that meat eating is responsible for most of the bad temper that exists in the world.
 "Who are the heaviest meat eaters?' he asked. "The English. And who have the worst dispositions? Why. the Eng lish Every ybody knows that
 "Go to England. and they'll give you nothing fit to eat but meat Morning, noon and night they'll set before you the best meat in the world, but no vege- tables to speak of, no desserts, no en- trees; meat only.
 "The consequence of all this meat eat ing is that the red faced Englishman is worse than a bear to have around the house.
 Tt you go to France you don't get much meat. The French like fruit, veg etables, salads, a little fish and little chicken. I'd venture to say that an Englishman eats more meat in a day than a Frenchman does in week.
 What effect on his disposition does the Frenchman's less gross food have? A good effect. The French are polite. The world over they are noted for their polIteness and good humor. But the Japs prove my point best. The mass of the Japanese people live on rice and frunit and sweetmeats and fish. They don't touch meat from one years end to another. And their temperance and deli cacy at table give them the best disposl- tions in the world On the streets of Japan there Is never any fighting or quarreling. You never see a disturbance | of any kind among that people Toler- ance, courtesy, high bred and ceremoni- ous manners are as prevalent in Japan | AS Prumbluq in E.pQlan6
 What is the philosophy of all this? Why simply that meat Is a stimulant like beer. and that after the brief hap | py effect of this stimulant has worn off 1 there comes a long effect of i'll humor and irritability. All heavy meat eaters have bad dispositions, because they are l always suffering from their foods after math-because they are always, so to | speak. getting oyer a spree.
 This holds good, too, among animals. Lions tigers, leopards and the rest of the carnivora are fierce and treaeherous and mean. The herbivora--elephants ante lopes camels-are good tempered, mild l creatures"

q position in the revenue department in Kansas? @ Please give a recipe for pre- serving eggs?
 A.-The internal revenue service Is very extensive, and therefore your question is difficult to answer. If you mean in the custom house, apply to the collector. You can easily get pointers from some revenue official. CD For every three gall Ions of water use one pint of fresh slaked lime and a half pint of common salt, well mixed. Place the eggs in this fluid carefully. so the shells will not get broken The eggs must be fully submerged.

STATEMENT FAILS ID SHOW THE GAINS Loans Are Shown to Have h.
 creased APPROACHES THE RECORD Circulation Shows an Increase of $2s9,- 5oo-DaiIy Average Bank Clear ines for Week Past Were
 $2o5, oo,ooo.
APPROACHES THE RECORD

New York, July 2-The Financier this week says;
 The striking feature of the official state prent of the New York associated banks last week was its failure fully to reflect fhe gain in cash which was estiamted on the basis of the traceable movement of money during the week, the estimates in- fiicating an increase of $7,5So.SoO while the gain as shown by the bank returns was only $71,S0O. Considering the fact, how ever, that the total cash made another record. the smaller gain in this item com pared with the estimate is not important. The discrepancy of $7o14.5O0 between the actual and the estimated gains seems to have been due to specially large pay ments by one of the banks.
 Loans were, as expected increased and the expansion of $s. 2ls. 300 in this item car ried the total to within sS.S97,10O of the highest on record. The increase last week was most likely due to loans of funds ear iy in the week, which had been deposited preparatory to the disbursement of July snterest and dividends and also to so in- dicate borrowing. The deposits were in- creased by $96747O0, or S793, 400 greater then the sum of the expansion in loans and the gain in cash. therefore the state ment was technically out of proof
 The required reserve was increased s2,- 41S675, deducting from which the gain in cash left $2 ,375 as the decrease in sur- plus reserve to $36. 1053O0.
 Computed upon the basis of deposits, Jess than those of $23.246.000 public funds, the surplus was $41, ,916950. Circulation was increased $2S9. 800 making a gain in this item of $3,205,9 900 since May 14 It may be noted that the public deposits have been becreased $32, ,976. 100 since the end of April, mostly the result of surrenders of those funds which were specially held on Pan anna canal account and of subsequent withdrawals in response to treasury calls.
 The daily average of bank clearings for the week was s205O00,0Oo against $176,- 000,0OO in the previous week. This in crease partly reflects operations in con- nection with preparations of the half yearly interest and dividend payments. The clearings on Saturday representing Fridays business were $290 8l0,057 or con siderably above the daily average Com parisons of loans show that seven banks gained $6,300,00 net. Eight banks decreas- ed cash by $400000 and the reduction in the cash of at least one bank was quite important

''Insider," in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Some wondered where Mckinley had picked up the Pittsburg lawyer as the virtual head of the American bar, for his present position entities him to that very great honor To most of them Knox was an unknown in every other respect than that he was the successful attorney. of Andrew Carnegie. No one believed that he would be anything else than a dyed-in-the-w combine advo- cate, friend of the trusts.

 Knox first revealed to dissatisfied country that he was an able man, law yer among many thousands. The next realization was that he was thorough ly honest man whom no undue influence could swerve from the course he had out lined. He displayed to a surprised world that he could cope with the very best legal experts in the world, hold his own combat of exceptional legal brillancv. that he was sincere in his efforts to exc cute the laws framed to restrain viola.
