Somebody who has been canvasSins Il western prison reports that So per cent of the inmates attribute the crimes which led to their Imprisonment to the extravaganza of their wives
 Fiddlesticks. righteously exclaims the Rochester. \. l., Herald. A more im- probable story was never imagined, and it must have been a sanguinary sort of person thus imposed upon. In the first place, it may be doubted that 60 per cent of the inmates of the aver age prison are married; but if they are. it isn't at all likely that more than two or three out of 100 are the victims Of a wifes extravaganza. Man is too fond of attributing his misfortuncs to some one else-his wife. if need be. He is ashamed to confess himself a fool, but has no hesitation in deliber- ateiy advertising himself liar. If a searching and honest - investigation could he made of tho circumstances which lead men to commit crimes on account of women we think it would establish the fact that it was some other woman who was to blame. rather than the wife. and in spite of her. The man who respects women and cleaves unto his wife is in little danger of the penitentiary.

Americans as d rule are not addicted to much walking. The reason may be found in the fact that transportation facilities. by means of steam, elevated and surface railroads are so plentiful that the temptation to ride cannot be resisted. says writer ill Outing. There is the additional reason that the Amer jean citizen must perforce do every. thing in hurry, and, ill keeping with tlis idea, the business man rides to and from his employment, where in many cases he might walk with bene- fit to himself ill every way, on the same principle that he takes his lunch con at the rush counter. The feverish haste ill eating meals. coupled with the disinclination to take even moderate walking exercise. is undoubtedly the cause of the dyspepsia which generally afflicts the American people. and which produces the pasty complexion seen al- most universally in the youth of to. day. How uufavorably these complex ions compare with the rosy cheeks of the young men and women of England, who have yet to learn the dire results of rapid-tirc eating, and who have not yet given up the walking habit.

Of oats as human food has increased ten-fold. One of the most notable changes of diet is that in favor of
 fruits. They are used the year around.
 They are fine either fresh from the tree or cooked and are kept dried, evaporated, canned or preserved the
 year around. There is no more whole some or palatable dish for the supper table than a properly selected and pre- pared dish of stewed peaches or apples. The banana has gained continually for the last twenty years. Our bananas
 now cost us $s,000,000 year.

There has been an enormous in- c-case in the demand for fruits and nuts, for fish and eggs. for milk and butter and cheese. for poultry and for proprietary cereal foods. Fifty years ago the only cereal food known besides tic products of wheat and rye flour and corn meal was oatmeal. says an authority. and that was imported and was rare aud costly. Now no break fast table Is without some form of mush or grits. A thorough investiga. ton of the subject shows that AmeEI- cans eat 35 ger cent less meat per capita than fifty years ago. But VA eat more wheat. poultry. eggs and sheese. In Iss1 our consumption of egrs was 32o dozen for each iag Fer.

The following communication. lately received by the Portland Oregonian. is self-eyplanatorr: Max pracht has completed the details and will apply for patent No i-11-4i on an invention which he calls 'Pracht's patent steam tramp eliminator.' Manager Calvin thinks it is great. and he may offer a million or more for the control Of the patent. With this invention in use it will not be necessary for the engineer to dump his clinkers and live coals on inc tracks at Oregon City, and then slowly pull the train over it. causing the tramps to lose their hold on the hog chains and drop off on the broiler. creating q bad smell. In short. Pracht's invention consists Of series of rotary diaphragms, similar to some in use oh hose nozzlcs for watering lawns. These are attached to pipe running along the under side of the coaches. baggage and express cars. coupled together at the ends. similar tc the air brake pipes, and connected with the boiler of tn" engine, so ar ranged that any one the train crew can, by operating a simple device in inc coaches. etc. turn on the steam. ti.us causing the sputter mechanism under the train to rcvolvc and scald off the clingins tramp. without causing m offensive smell; and also gives the tramps the ever needed bath. What oregon City may do with the derellcts after the bath is an open question. but there are those in Falls City who seem i1 prefer the tramps to the railroad.

idence went to show that the former

brought out to prove that the shot was
fired in self defense. The affair took
place in Viscome's house. The respon-
dent, himself Of rather small physique
was attacked BY Phillippi, a man Of
much larger stature, the latter being
armed with chair. In defining an as
