Washington Letter.

Both parties in Congress are
busy in the work of platform
making. They know of course,
that platforms, like Topsy, are not
manufactured, but "iest grow,
but the assembled statesmen fancy
that they can do something to-
wards formulating them. The
President iinagines that he conld
draw one in about fifteen minutes
that would entirely fill the bill,
and Judge Parker says he knows
what the Democratic platform
ought to be. The President is
willing to go into the campaign
on platform based primarily on
his Panama policy and on his hui
name attitude concerning trusts,
labor, and business monopolies of
.all kinds. Through Congressmen
spend a week now over the obse-
.quies of Senator Hanna, and
though three or four large appro-
priation bills are still to be got to
the front, members of both Senate
and House think they see day
light and hope to get home by the
middle Of May.

The death of Senator Hanna
has thrown a black pail over the
Senate, whatever may be said
about his public career, and about
his thick-and-thin championship
of his party, he was a man of
popular manner and lovable quail
ties in his private life. He was a
good friend and a dangerous and
relentless enemy. He hated shams,
pretences and affectations of every
sort, and always opposed the Gus

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

Sour the Disposition.
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
English. Everybody knows that.
Go to England, and they'll give you
nothing fit to eat but meat. Morning
noon and night they'll set before Won
the best meat in the world, but no
vegetables to speak of, no desserts. no
entrees; meat only.
THE consequence of all this meat
eating is that the red faced English
man is worse than a bear to have
around the house.
''If you go to France you don't get
much meat. The French like fruit
vegetables, salads, little fish and a
little chicken. I'd venture to say that
an Englishman eats more meat in a
day than q Frenchman does in week
"What effect on his disposition does
the Frenchmans 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 fruit and sweetmeats and
fish. They don't touch meat from one
years end to another And their tenn
perance and delicacy at table give them
the best dispositions in the world. On
the streets of Japan there is never any
fighting or quarrelng You never see
a disturbance of any kind among that
people. Tolerance, courtesy, high bred
and ceremonious manners are as prev
alent in Japan as gl1mbling in Eng
land
"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
there comes a long effect of i'll humor
and irritablity All heavy meat eat
ers have bad dispositions. because they
are always suffering from their foods
Acknowledgements they are always,
so to speak, getting over a spree.
'This' holds good, too, among ami
mails. Lions. tigers. leopards ard the
rest of the carniyora are fierce and
treacherous and mean. The herbiyora
- elephants, an;clopes, camels = are
good tempered. mild creatures. New
York Telegram.
