pell, who is said to be the greatest living
authority on diet. found upon examina-
ton that Mr.. Hartman was suffering
from rheumatism of the muscles, which
caused stiffness Of the spine. and from
neurasthonia The last was caused
partly by mental overwork and partly
by lack Of nourishment The railway

! For the spine and muscle trouble Har-
riman Is ordered to take electric and car
/ bonic acid baths and light gymnastc eN-

When Professor StTuempell started to

ordered him to take at least two bottles
/ Of beer In his daily menu, Mr.. Hartman

well then" said the professor, that
/ Is partly the trouble with you and L
shall give you a beer very light in alco-

The exact diet prescribed for Hartman
I is as follows.
I O'Clock in the morning-One pint of
milk
/ s o'clock in the norning-A small cup

United States Luckily. he car afford
the time and price Of nourishment eight

An interesting story comes from New
/ York concerning the health of Mr.. Har-
riman, where it has become known that
/ a member Of the London stock exchange
has taken out a policy on the life of the
/ American railroad man.
The policy was written by London
/ Lloyd's and is understood to have been
/ for 100000. The rate was ~ guineas
/ per cent. The member of the London
/ stock exchange could not allow his
name to be used because of the rules of
/ that body. He said that the current
rate upon Mr. Harrinians life was be
/ tween u. and 5 guineas per cent, the
/ equivalent of S to s 1-3 per cent in
/ American rating. He declared the writ
/ ing of policies on Mr.. Harrimans life to
/ be of daily occurrence in London. and
that they were doubtless in the nature
of insurance against stock depreciation
/ I'm the event of his death.
Three months ago the Lloyds rate
| quoted in New York was 10 guineas per
| cent, and in some instances as high as
L guineas per cent The favorable re-
ports upon Mr.. Harriman's health &C
count for the lower rates quoted at
present. The policies cover every con-
tingency and run for 4 year.
II Will be remembered that policies
were taken out i'm New York, under
written by the same London company,
against the election of Mr.. Bryan to the
presidency. Gambling in insurance has
evidently become part of the everyday
life Of the financiers.
