What Shall We Eat?

A writer in Harper's Weekly makes
a plea for the scientific regulation OF
food. 1t is striking fact, he points
out that science, which has weighed
the moon and measured the orbits OF
tie planets and split the atom into
electrons. has not Yet been able con
vincingly 10 tell man what is and what
is not his proper food. And yet it is
evident 10 every intelligent observer
that very large proportion OF men
and women are poisoning themselves
every day, running their bodies and
their minds. shortening their lives and
bringing upon themselves pain ana
misery through eating and drinking
substances and quantities that are not
fitted for human assimilation. Re
formers are at work everywhere, but
the reformer who could. with author
ity, show humanity what it should eat
and drink would surely do more good
than a whole army of wiseacres tinker
ing at the effects Of the evil. What
the world needs is an authoritative
science Of food"

When Sandow poses and the muscles

of strength in those magnificent muscles.
But we haven't. Starve Sandow, or,
what is practically the same thing, let
him be dyspeptic, and his muscle would
soon fail. Strength is made from food

no man is stronger than his stomach, be-

that had impeded the progress of
the workmen. All preparations
were made, the fuse was fred, and
all quickly fastened to place of
safety and anxIously awaited the
burning of the fuse, and the ex'
plosion that must follow, when
suddenly Charley Knight, who stood
apart from the others, discovered
sitting behind heap of earth and
stones, busily engaged In construct
Ing a miniature house, Superinten-
dent Johnson's FIVE year old boy,
who, unnotlced by his father, and
unheeded by the miners, had follow
ed into the mine. Quicker than

boy meant death, as he was so busl'
ly engaged, and so absorbed In his
work he would not hear, and If he
should, could not reach a place of
safety; for the fuse had almost per-
formed Its deadly mission. With
one bound, and silent prayer to
God for the protection Of the young
wife he was leaving behind, he
caught the boy by the arm, and
with almost superhuman strength,
threw him to a place of safety, just
as blackened, cru milling, mass of
earth and stone, came crashing
down upon him.
The first the superintendent
knew of the awful tragedy, was
when the frightened child landed
almost at his feet. One glimpse he
caught of a CHASTITY white face; and
when next they looked upon 1t,
they did not see the merry, laugh
Ing face of Charley Knight, but a
crushed, bleeding mass of human
flesh.

in all Its horrors, from the pulpit
that day; but the old old story OF
Chrlst's great sacrifice In giving
his life to redeem the world, as
Charley Knight had given his, to
save child. He spoke of the Fa-
theirs great love for the beings he
had created, and his great sacrifice
In giving his Son to suffer an igno-
minous death for us. You felt as
you listened, that he had been
chastened and purified, by sorrow:
that he had also made sacrifices,
and was a living example of one
who had been tried, and found
worthy. He then spoke of the
great debt we owed the Father, for
all we had received and would con-
tinue to receive, from his hands:
and there resolved that my life
should be spent In paying the debts
that I had allowed to accumulate
from year to year.
His language was low, intense,
and earnest; but so plain and simple
that the most illiterate and ignor-
ant, could not but understand every
word.
He had been at Thornton Gulch
for six years; and for FIVE years
past, crime, drunkenness, and dis

Christ, was practiced.

GOOD SUM TO PAIR.
House cOmmtte WIN Favor 100000
Appropriation.

Washington, March 1S.-The house
subcommittee on industrial arts and
expositions today fayorably reported a
substitute for the Lewis and Clark ex-
position bill, recently passed by the
senate, carrying total appropriation
Of 1885, The substitute bill con-
templates the expenditure Of $3.50, 900
for government exhibit, $4,000 for
the eretcion Of government building,
t175, 900 for the erection Of buildings
for the Alaska, Philippine, Hawaiian,
Oriental and Oceanic exhibits, and
$3.50, 900 for an Alaska exhibit, in adj
dition TO amounts heretofore appropri-
ated for the Alaska exhibit at St.
Louis.
At its next meeting, the full COM
mittee will consider the Substitute bill,
and may possibly add an appropriation
for forestry building.
In addition to making provision for
the various buildings and the govern
ment and Alaska exhibits, the substi-
tute bill provides for free admission Of
foreign articles imported for exhibit
purposes, and creates government
board to collect, install and care for
the government exhibit, as was done
at st. Louis and authorizes, in connec-
tion with the government exhibit, a
fish commission exhibit and life saw
ing station.
The subcommittee will further re-
port in favor of authorizing the coin
age of 250, 900 souvenir gold dollars,
which are to be coined at such times
and in such quantities as the expo
sition authorities may desire. These
coins are to be sold to the exposition
corporation at part and may, by them
be sold at premium Of 81 each, thus
enabling the exposition to increase its
earnings.
While the subcommittee made no
recommendation as to Sunday closing
of the exposition, it is expected that
the full committee will amend the SEN
ate bill by striking out the Platt Sun
day closing amendment, and leave the
matter entirely in the control of the
state.
Chairman Tawney, speaking of the
subcommittee's report, says that an ap.
preparation Of $3.50, 900 for Portland il
equivalent to an appropriation of s600,-
600 or 500, 900 at any other expo
sition, as Portland will enjoy the ad-
vantage of having many of its exhibits
already collected, requiring only tran
shipment from St. Louis. He says
Portland will have better government
exhibit than Buffalo had for 5000 900
and should also have as fine if not fine
exhibit from Alaska, the Philippine
and the Orient than will be made a
st. Louis this year.

PRESERVE FUR SEAL INDUSTRY.
Senate Desires President to Negotiate
With Britain for Change In Rules.

Win brlkaAn tOr Snhnge IN kuiess
Washington, March l9.-After elimi-
mating all but three sections of Senator
Dillinghams' Alaskan seal bill, the
senate committee on foreign relations
has authorized Senator Foraker to
make favorable report on the meas
ure. The bill as originally introduced
was practically the same as had been
presented in the house by Representa-
tive Tawney; of Minnesota. The first
section of the bill prohibited the kill
ing of male fur seals on the Pribyloff
group of seal islands, except $500 to
be used as food for the natives of the
islands, and this was stricken out by
the committee.
As passed, the bill provides that
the president of the United States shall
negotiate with Great Britain fol a re-
vision of the rules and regulations
which now govern the taking of fur
seals in the open waters of the North
Pacific ocean and Behling sea, pursu-
ant to the treaty articles of award OF
the Behring sea tribunal of arbitration
made at Paris, August 16, 1898.
The revision of the regulations is for
the purpose of restoring and preserving
the fur seal industry and to abate the
killing of nursing mother seals on the
high seas.
1t is provided also that the president
shall endeavor to conclude negotiations
with the governments of Russia and
Japan for the purpose of securing their
areement to any satisfactory revision ol
the rules that may be had.

British Submarine Boat Run Down and
her Crew Lost.
Portsmouth, England, March 2i.-
British submarine boat No. "A-1u was
run down and sunk off the Nab light
ship today by Donal Curry liner and
IL persons were drowned, including
Lieutenant Mansergh, the senior officer
engaged in the submarine work. The
liner passed on and reported that she
had struck torpedo.
At the time she was struck the SUBJ
marine boat was off the lightshipe en-
gagged in the maneuvers, and was lying
in seven fathoms of water waiting the
approach Of battleship. The boat
was one of the newest Of the feet OF
submarine vessels and was built from
the latest models, but she had always
been bad diver. She was inspected
recently by both King Edward and the
Prince of Wales.
The name Of the liner which struck
the submarine boat is the Berwick
Castle, from East London, South AT
rica. The loss Of the boat was not
known for several hours after the
liner had reported to the manueyering
fleet that she had struck a torpedo.
The officers of the liner say that they
saw glistening torpedo like shape in
the water, and it is supposed, there
fore, that the submarine boat rose just
before she was struck. There is no
doubt that all the members Of the crew
died in the steel tube. 1t is thought
that the Berwick Castle, in striking.
upset the trim Of the boat and spilled
the gasoline in the tanks, rendering
her helpless. The crew was battened
down and must have met death from
suffocation in the absense of air and
owing to the fumes.
