In this respect, as in others, was

mo is ever hungry, but his taste is
normal. Things of doubtful value in
nutrition form no part in his dietary.
Animal food, meat an1 fat, is entirely

Quantity is important, but quality
applies only to the relative proportion
of fat. With this key to the CASTRO

selected as the staple food, which also

If True, It's Unfortunate.

Raleigh State Democrat.
It looks as if the punishments
meted out by some judicial officers
are to be Influenced by what the pub
lie NAV think-at least that portion
of the public which hold extreme
views concerning the violation OF GER
tain laws. If this be true, it is most
unfortunate innovation upon the
plain, old-fashioned dealings OF the
courts, where every man is supposed
to receive a Just reward OF punish
ment for his offense. A judicial offi-
Ger, of all men, ought TO be just and
fair in his Judgments; and public SEN
timent, which is often transient and
subject to all sorts OF changes and
notifications, ought not to have a
feathers weight in netting out pun
ishment in his court. 1t is true, ii a
man has been an old offender, often
reproved and still persists in vioiat-
ing the law, there is some reason why
his punishment may be intensified,
with reason and with view OF bene-
fitting the defendant. But that is
not what we have in mind, but to
refer to the practice OF some judicial
officers in serving special notice,
which goes out in the newspapers
that persons found guilty of violating
certain laws will get the limit in the
way of punishment.
If the violation of a prohibition
law is a misdemeanor, why should
I the offender be more severely dealt
with than the man who has violated
some other law which is also classed
as a misdemeanor? The man who
walks the streets with a gun in his
hip pocket breaks the law in more
serious manner than the man who
sells or conveys a bottle of whiskey
in violation of the law; and yet for
the former of these offences there is q
simple fine, while for the latter men
are sent to the chain gang. We have
no apology for any willful violator
of the law, and the preservation of
society demands that they should be
punished, but let the scales be held
| with a steady hand, and let every
man get what is coming to him,
without fear or favor to anybody.
As soon as it becomes known that
a judicial officer is particularly Sc
we're upon a certain class Of offenders
the jury requires more evidence and
of a more positive sort than would
otherwise be sufficient to convict.
The law, when wisely and impair
TALLY administered, will have a whole
some influence on every individ-
ual in the community; but if special
verdicts are rendered and hard sem
tences pronounced simply to crafty
the prejudices OF any class in society,
these good effects will not follow, but
rather the opposite.
It is probable that there was never
SO much light thrown on disease and
its prevention; never time when
people slept SO much out of doors,
| and used screens to such an extent
against flies and mosquitoes. The
practice of medicine is returning to
the old precept that prevention is

storms of the setting sun.
The gloom Of the coming winter
night now thickens. The splendor OF
the summer day has gone. A day Of
six months and a night of six months
are often ascribed to the polar regions
as a whole, but this is only true Of
very small area about the pole.
As we come south the sun slips un-
der the horizon for an ever increasing
part of each twenty-four hours. Pre-
ceding and following the night as we
come from the pole there is period
Of day and night which lengthens With
the descent Of latitude.
1t is this period which enables US to
retain the names Of the usual seasons

the period Of the setting sun. This
season begins when the sun first dips

moments.
The Arctic Night.
These moments increase rapidly, yet
one hardly appreciates that the sun Is
departing until day and night are OF
equal length, for the night remains
light, though not cheerful. Then the
day rapidly shortens and darkens, and
the sun sinks until at least there is
