Malachi Explains.

Many people do not believe in the no
meat theory" continued Malachi, but let
me explain it to you. An athlete is a full
blooded person to begin with. Let him eat
raw meat in August, and his troubles come
on The meat diet adds to the red corpus
cles in his already full-blooded system. and
fills his brain with bubbles. He looks into
a high sky for the ball and sees flock of
bubbles. OF course, the ball is among the
bubbles, but nine times out of ten he misses
1t. and the cranks set him down as dub.
No meat in mine

Senators Still Eating Meat.

.In spite of all / told them about the
evil effects of meat" said Kittredge, the
others went back to that diet, and it fin
ished them There was nothing in the story
of a pitched ball breaking Mccormick S
arm He couldn't stand it to go without
meat, so Barry took to eating crabs. The
crab meat went to his head one hot August
day He bit himself on the arm and got
blood poisoning. Barry is now in Chicago
looking at the meat strike. He cannot keep
away from it.
Then. look at the sad case of Bill Cough
lin, one of our bald athletes. Bill was doing
great on a diet of short ribs of cabbage
without the gravy. 1t made him stout and
husky. But in one evil moment Bill took
to frogs legs-said they made him good in
the corkscrew slide He seemed to be going
all right at that. but one day Bill crossed
his legs in the slide and snapped a tendon.
Now he Is out of it. 1 tell you, meat will
queer the best of them"

CONGRESSMEN CLEARED.
Report of Committee to Investigate
Charges Against Congressman
In Postoffice Investigation.

The report OF the special committee
of the national house OF representa-
tives appointed to investigate the re-
port from the postofice department
printed under the caption Charges
Concerning Members OF Congress.
was made to the house by Chairman
Mccall. The report is signed 'by
seven members OF the committee. The
minority members. however. append
supplemental views.
The important phase OF the report
is it's finding regarding the connection
OF members with the business OF the
poStoffice department. This finding
is as follows:
After a careful consideration OF all
cases specified in the report the
committee have unanimously reached
the conclusion that nothing has ap-
pearcd in connection with said cases
that would justify the finding that any
member of the house OF representa-
tiveS has proited financially III the
slightest degree. or that any mem
Der was guilty OF improper conduct
in connection Herewith. or that any
member has done in connection with
anv OF said cases anything that did
not appear to be within the line OF
his official duty according to long es-
tablished custom.
Having reached this conclusion,
the committee feel constrained to add
that in their opinion it would be
we'll to make formal as may be. and
70 retain within the narrowest posi-
bic limits. the action of the members
in connection with postofice and the
details OF other executive matters. and
that me severance Of members from
work of that character would aug
ment the efficiency of the house of re-
preSentatives."

The Delegations Views.
In this connection it is said that
all "f the South Carolina delegation
in congress. with possibly one ex-
ception. favor the nomination Of
Judge Parker. Senator Latimer
while not committed to any candidate,
is favorably inclined to Judge Parker
under existing conditions. So are
Representatives Legare, Finley,

Trained from expressing a personal
preference, but at the proper time he
will join the other members of the
delegation in cordially supporting
the nominee of the party.
The report that the South Carolina
delegation has been captured for Mr..
Hearst probably originated from the
fact that some of the over-zealous
and perhaps indiscreet missionaries
OF Mr.. Hearst sent to South Carolina
over-estimated the effect of their in.
dividual work.
One instance is cited where an at
tempt was made to intimidate one of
the members OF congress by threaten

election unless he used his influence

PATRIOTISM OF JAPANESE.
From Empress Down to Peasant Girl
All Make Sacrifices to Help
Relief Fund.

Societies and associations have been
organized in Japan 10 relieve the fam

makes certain contributions to the relief
fund Some men contribute money or
goods, some their labor, and most of the
lint and bandage used for the wounded
are the works of women, from the en-
press down to the peasant girl. writes
Nobushige AmenomOri, in Atlantic.
Little boys and girls willingly forego
their daily sweetmeats, and give the
small moneys thus saved to the relief
societies. A boy II years old in a country
school made one day contribution Of
two yen. 1t was thought too much for
country boys gift The school-teacher
and the alderman of the village suspect
ed the money might have been given the
lad by his parents to satisfy his vanity;
in which case it should be admonished
against. An inquiry was accordingly
made, and brought out the fact that the

to the making Of straw sandals. Even
some criminals working in prisons have
made several applications to contribute
their earnings to the funds, though
their wishes have not been complied
with. In every village compact has
been made that those remaining at home
should look after the farms of those at
the front. SO that their families may not
be disappointed of the usual crops.
Since the outbreak OF the war the gov
ernment's bonds have been twice issued
at home, and each time the subscription
more than trebled the amount called for,
the imperial household taking the lead
by subscribing 100000 yen. Thus the
hardships of the war are cheerfully borne
by every man. woman and child in the
land.

The Color of Hair.

From the color of mans hair may
be learned a good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability, says a professor
who has for some months been closely
studying the subject School boys with
chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely
to be more clever than any others, and
will generally be found, at the head Of
the class, and in like manner girls with
fair hair are likely to be far more studi-
Gus and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and recitations these
boys and girls, he asserts, especially ex-
eel. On the other hand, he says that
boys and girls with brown hair are
most likely to attain distinction through
their individuality and style. and that
those with red or auburn hair do not
often excel in any respect
