SOME STORIES OF GROVER CLEVELAND.

Hilary A. Herbert, Cleveland's Sec
rotary of the Navy, recently gave 10
the Philadelphia Public Ledger the fol-
lowing interesting "Reminiscences of Mr..
Cleveland's Venezuelan message and of
his method of dealing with Cabinet Of

Mr.. Herbert, was the note of Secre-

the Congressional recess, three months
before Congress convened, and before

theless, it was kept absolutely secret.

AT HAWAII AFTER 129 YEARS.
Vast changes have taken place in the
world since Captain James Cook, the
famous British navigator, was muir
dered by natives at Hawaii in 1873.
Captain Cooks ship was a leviathan
in the eyes of the Hawaiian of that
day. and his crude cannon were mon
sters of destruction. Today Hawaii,
now dependency of this republic, re-
ceives another marine visitor, though
more hospitality, the great fleet of AM
erican battleships, compared with one
of which Captain Cooks vessel was a
cockleshell, while the smallest of the
guns that frown from the battleships'
decks has more destructive power than

driven to the belief that some of the
preachers out that way know about as
much concerning the natural recrea-

Kanaka does about Greek. Social and
companionable enjoyments are what a

the country to see pretty scenery or

feited at sea do not appeal to him.

I'VE had pet bear On the boat, and
we called him Wineska He used to
climb to the cross-trees, going up hand
over hand by the ratlines. One day he
ventured out on the yard-arm and
there he stayed. We had to get a rope
and haul him down. Once he vaulted
over the head of our Chinese cook
and went into the lockers, where he
helped himself to sugar and butter.
We had tackling made for him,
much the same as a harness of pet
pug, and we would drop him over
board, with rope attached, to take
his bath. Once he landed in a native
boat and nearly frightened the occu-
pants out of their wits. He was as
playful as kitten and, althouh he
sometimes disobeyed, he was never
treacherous or unkind. When he was
lost, or hid himself, as he often did,
we would look in the dark till we saw
two little balls of fire. These were
his tyes and gave him away every
time"

IN THE MATTER OF DIET.
Case Where Individual Must PC Law
Unto Himself.

There are very few of Va who do
not delight in reading essays and dis
cussions on dietetics with the same in
terest that We scan directions on
How to make love-" but in either
case no one is guided by these disqui-
sitions, because so much depends on
the individual in either affairs of the
heart or gastric affairs. One author
ity says Eat this, another, Don't
eat that" But who can follow any
others advice? One enthusiast pro-
poses that all the world make apples
part of their daily fare, whereas We
know of one instance in which an ap-
pie stirs up such an interior eruption
that apples should always be tabooed
SO far as he is concerned. DR.. H. S.
Gridley, professor of general chemis-
try at the University of Illinois, has
issued paper in which he rehabili-
tates meat as continuous article OF
diet after 1t has been almost put on
the run by the vegetrians and the
semivegetarians Vegetables, he says,
are always less digestible, while meats
offer no obstruction to the natural
conversion of food into products
capable of being absorbed by the
blood. While reluctant to talk in the
tone of the school physiology and even
to discuss UPWARDS" as a topic of
light literature, we must protest
against classifying vegetables in one
general category of indestibles. 1t all
depends on the vegetable and on the
person who undertakes to assimilate
it benevolently or otherwise. Boiled
cabbage may Stay its tens of thou
sands while others walk the earth to
hree-score-and-ten their health unas
sailed by constant indulgence in boiled
cabbage. Fried onions killed Napo-
leon, where raw ones might have pre-
served him to scatter new terror in
Europe. In exile on barrel island
one may eat onions as he likes, and
some who are too careless and too
lacking in self-restraint may deserve
such Punishment. Stewed peas gave
certain prominent Californian an at
tack of appendicitis every time he at
tempted them, and young woman is
seized with fainting spells whenever
she nibbles at almonds. So we see
that no general rules for dining can be
established any more than general
rules for making love- Each must be
law unto himself and all directions
are valueless.
