There is story of Crockett OF
"Stickit Minister" fame to the effect
that when he offered his first volume
to a Scotch firm it was returned with
polite note assuring him that there
was no market for that sort of thing.
The letter was marked "No, 396b" In
later years when the same publishers
asked him for one of his manuscripts
he politely requested them to refer to
their previous correspondence with
him marked "39Gb."

BALANCING the Diet.

A balanced diet means one In
which nitrogenous and non-nltro-
genous or acid combining foods
are properly combined, and to
find this proper combination we
have only TO turn TO the guide
that nature has given us. For
the maintenance OF life II is nec-
essary that the air we breathe
should contain approximately 10
per cent nitrogen and 2l per cent
oxygen. Strangely enough, the
foods we eat should be gauged
In about the same ratio. There
should be 10 per cent Of al
luminous or ultrogenous foods,
and there chould be 2l per cent
Of foods that will tend to Offset
the Ill effects or prevent the ac-
cumulation Of an overabundance
Of the nitrogenous elements.
Meats. poultry, corn, beans, peas,
cereals, cheese, potatoes, ETC.. are
among the most commonly eaten
nitrogenous foods. To balance
the diet satisfactorily get good
work on floods" and find out not
only what the heterogeneous sub
stances are, but just how much
nitrogen each contains. These
facts once firmly impressed upon
the mind, 1t will be an easy mat
ter to adjust the diet to meet
the necessary conditions,

UTILITY OF THE REVOLVER.
automatic Pistol Cannot Be Beater
in an Emergency,

lHere are three principal types of au-
tohiauc pistol on the market today-the
Ehauser' the Browning and the Webley-
ocot.. Inc pest known of these is I'M
oouptediy the Mauser, weapon which
Hrst came prominently before the public
notice during the Boer war 1t is really
"a holster pistol, weighing 2ls lbs, and with
case that can be used as a butt, thus
enabling it to be fired from the shoulder
like a rifle. 1t takes an S5-grain bullet,
ana ITS calibre is very little less than
that of the British service rifle. 1t is
simply constructed, amazingly strong.
and has apparently an unendng firing
capacity l have heard of Mauser firing
10000 shots without apparent deteriora-
ton.
The usual size of a Mauser takes clip
of six bullets. This. it will be remem-
bered, was the kind used by the Sidney
Street Terrorists. One of the newer pat
terms will take no fewer than 20 cart
ridges in its magazine. 1t is distributed
in this country by the we'll known house
of Wesley Richards, and during the past
II years they have sold no fewer than
5000. Every one Of these is numbered and
record is kept of their destination.
When news came that the Sidney Street
Terrorists had left two Mausers in the
ruins, "A. H. Gale, the director in London,
offered to trace their records and find
who had bought them. When I visited
the New Bond street shop the police had
not even replied to the offer. A strange
commentary on modern detective
methods.
The Browning pistol is the type that
was largely used by the Russian revolu-f
tionists during the uprising against the
Cars government. I we'll remember on
one occasion when travelling through Po-
land in those days some peasants came
up to me and inquired if were the Eng
lish agent who had brought them their
promised Brownings. They were much
disguised when they found that I had
nothing for them. The Browning patents

pistols are known as automatic Colts.

revolution is national uprising and not

paintings from the most famous OF the
Old World galleries and fund or
$20U0d0 to be used for the purchase or

PRINCESS IRENE AT NEW YORK
Vessel Believed Little Worse for Her
Four Days Experience.

New York, April 10.-Displaying two
black balls the usual mot under con-
troll signal, the steamer Princess
Irene today safely reached and pass
ed in the harbor entrance. which she
missed last Thursday morning in the
fog. burying her nose instead in the
Fire. Island sand spit. where She was
held a prisoner for the better part of
four long and anxious days
Except for a broken rudder post.
the Irene was believed To be none
the worse for her imprisonment off
the Lone Hill Life Saving station,
from which she was so fortunately re-
leased yesterday afternoon after her
1920 passengers had been taken off
and landed Saturday morning, Be-
cause of the arrangement of her
steering mechanism, however. the big
liner was not privileged to come in
under her own steam. She was sur
rounded by a fleet of tugs which had
escorted her from Fire Island waters
to an anchorage outside the bar la tie
last night and which. at 5.25 O'CLOCK,
this morning. took up the slack of
their hawsers and resumed the work
of getting the liner into port.
AT 645 O'Clock the Irene proceeded
in Sandy Hook in tow of the four tugs
From that point the process of getting
her up the harbor bays to- the North
German Lloyd piers in Hoboken, wag
simply matter of patient towing. At
her dock she will be examined by div
ers and then sent to Newport News
for examination in drydock. The great
er part of the cargo is still on heard
and it will be discharged at Hoboken
as soon as possible.
From Quarantine to her Hoboken
pier the Irene was welcomed by the
blowing of whistles on all craft. Quite
crowd had gathered on the Bat
terry walls to see the ship. and pas
sengers on ferryboats greeted her with
waving handkerchiefs.
But in all this demonstration of well
come and rejoicing there was one de-
pressed spirit, and that was Captain
Frederick Won Letten- Petersen,
commander of the Irene. He had lost
his usual cheerfulness and seemed to
have aged greatly since the ship went
aground. When spoken to on the
bridge as the Irene came up the bay
he said he deeply regretted his mis-
fortune, but was resigned to await the
result of an official inquiry.
Il have done my duty as best |
could, he said. and there was a tone
of deep emotion in his voice
