true Of breeds of lower animals and
races of people are true of the habits of
the individual. 1t may be that the ap-
petite and customs of the prison ought
to be refreshed by occasionally return
Ing to the habits and practices of the
savage. Maybe this all accounts for
the fondness of great men for hunting,
and Of many for wild adventures in I'M
known cllmes. Anyhow, it is worth
considering, for a solution of the pro-
blem might reveal a great truth that
would result in the perpetuation of a
race or nation, or the development of
individual genius.

She is Said to Subsist Largely on Raw
Foods.
Sarah Bernhard, who is said to sub
sist to large extent on raw foods, re-
veals her barbarlc tastes in more ways
than this, and leads us to wonder If
this very barbarlsm ia the secret of her
wonderful success,It was Thomas Car
lyle who said that all genius Is akin to
sayagery. Savagery of course, is the
fountain source of civilization.
Does the success of Sarah Bernhard
and others of similar tastes reveal the
fact that a person may dip from this
fountain source the clear waters that
aid in this advancement and perpetual
ton of genius? It is known that all
fine race horses must come from Ara
bian Barbary, or Turkish stock, yet the
original race horse could never win a
race with one of its trained descend
ants. 1t takes several generations for
the blood of the Arabian horse to pro-
lluce a speedy animal However, the
stock will play out In time if the blood
is not revived by admixture with the
original Arabian stock So 1t is with
human beings. Too long civilization
ever causes degeneration unless the
blood of the people is occasionally in
termingled with savage blood. Thus
have Rome, Greece, Persia and all the
nations of ancient history declined.

FOOD DETECTIVES.

The London County Council and In
spection of Meat Supply.
The public health committee of the
london county council is making in
qulres into the need Of improved adj
minstration for the inspection Of food
entering London and DIR. Hamer has
prepared report dealing with in
spection by riverside authorities.
Il SENS that about one and d half
million tons of food enter London by
the Thames every year. and DR..
.Hamer says the tendency Is to tranfer
from London nearly every process of
food preparation that can be carried
on elsewhere He points out that
while presumably the change has been
greatly to the Lond1ner's advantage
as regards quality, "as 1t undoubtedly
has been as regards price," the re-
moval of the place of origin or manu-
facture beyond any control London
can directly exercise emphasizes the
Importance of examination of the food
when 1t enters the county-an i'm
portance that Increases yearly as the
amount brought from without approx
mates more and more closely to the
total quantity consumed within the
d3unty.
The public health committee thinks
that the staff at present engaged in
food inspection is small, and that the
ideal to be aimed at In any scheme Of
reform must necessarily be that of
providing an efficient detective agency
which will serve to bring to lizht the
underhand methods of the dishonest
trader rather that that 3f establishing
a scheme of inspection in detail.
Dealing with the disposal of trade
refuse the committee notes the faci-
lities affored to dishonest traders for
obtaining, through contractors hr
otherwise, unsound food, which is SUBJ
sequently disguised by timing or pot
ting and ultimately sold for human
consumption, and urges the adoption
of the principle tht condemned food
should be destroyed by the sanitary
authorities themselves.

AN ALI,-NIGHT CITY.

New York Is an allnight town. No
other city in the world stays up at
night the way New York does, One
section of Paris does stay up late, but
that is the neighborhood whsre Ameri-
cans congregate and where the French
men stay up after hours solely that
they may collect more American mon
ey
Neithsr London nor Berlin Is an all
night city The closing hours In Lon
don are really enforced, as they are
not In New York, and the Germans
who inhablt Berlin go to bed at rea-
sonable hour by choice
OF the othfr American cities, Chicago
is the only one where there are spots
that keep awake all night. Boston goes
to sleep so early that the loss Of Gus
tom forces the clasing ofthe saloons
without botherlng the police In small
err American cities the retiring hour be-
comes earlier according to the dimin-
ishing size of the place
But in Nsw York everybody well
comes a pretext to stay up all night
and everybody from all the rest of the
United States who comes TO New York
takes every opportunity to indulge in
tho sama habit
The sixday bicycle merry-g o-round
brought out collection of these all
night stayers Every such exhibition Is
dependent for its profits on the New
York desire Of some excuse to keep
from going TO bed.
The number Of all-night restaurants
is yearly increasing. The crowds do not
begin to gather until midnight, and
they stay until the mllkman deposits
his cans and bottles on the sidewalk,
long after the newsboys with the morn
ing papers have made their first round.
What is there about New York life
which has developed so many thou
sands Of men and women who prefer 10
stay up all night, and who never seem
really to wake up untl the hands Of
the clock have met at midnight?
Possibly 1t is because there is so little
to do in New ork day times except to
work. True, there are things to do by
daylight-the shops and the stores, the
crowded tenement life of the East Side,
the hurry and worry of downtown

business, the roped-in brokers in Broad
streat, the doleful professions to and
from the elevated and subway stations.
True, also, thereare museums and IL
brarles to 80 to.
But besides these, the sights of the
hurry and worry of sordid monsy-mak-
ing and the sad impressiveness of over
crowded life and toll, what else is
there in daytime to interest any one,
and enable men and womsn to imagine
vain things, to make believe that they
still have hopes and that ambitions are
real?
The all-night New York is the abnor-
NAL reaction from the day New York.
1t is this time for dressing up, for ar
raging in the best apparel, for highly
spiced food and stimulating drinks, for
a general pretense of social gayety and
habitual enjoyment
Which is real, the day or the night
New York: the money hunting Of the
day or the money spending of the
night? Or are both unreal and unnat-
urai, the strain andthe effort alike at
both hours, the departing from natural
standards wrong at all times? One
could not exist without the other. The
day New ork pays for the night New
ork, and the night New York adds to
the shortening of years and crowding
