PLEA FOR A MEAT DIET.
Okacrmtlona aad Ariiaoti of■»
■■*Ush Physician on th* Swbject.
Should man be carnivorous or herbivo
rous? That is- a long debated question,
which goes back at least to the days of
Pythagoras. Jean Jacques Rousseau was
a stickler for tho vegetable diet exclusive
ly, and Holvotlua was in favor of meat.
Now It appears that a quarrel has broken
out again in England, having been started
by a long and carnivorous report to the
Royal Academy of Medicine by Dr. Vlgs
ford and followed up by the establishment
of a new society of meat eaters.
It Is well known that in England the
vegetarians are extremely numerous. They
have made a eortof religion out of their
diet aryl have built a church of their
own, dhteide of which, of ooune, there is
no salvation. The London society of vege
tarians has 4,000 members. It was doubt
less their excessive zeal that brought about
a reaction and Induced the roast beef eaters
to form themselves into a regular society.
According to Dr. Vigsford, there is lit
tle or no truth in their doctrine, and his
Dew plea for meat is based upon curious
observations.
For several days he experimented on
sparrows. He gave them absolutely noth
ing to eat at first and then gave to one
half the number meat and to the others
grain. Tho former digested the meat and
recovered; the others could not assimilate
the grain and died. Renewing the experi
ments of William Edwards, Starck and
Haller, he found in his own case, by means
of a dynamometer, that his muscular
strength increased In constant proportion
by following entirely a meat diet.
Finally he brings out evidence that he
considers extremely Important. During
the time-when the railroad from Paris to
Rouen was being built French and Eng
lish workmen were employed. The latter
worked very much more rapidly than the
French. They gained at least one-third
upon the French workmen. The engineers
then determined to put the Frenchmen
upon the same diet as the Englishmen.
They substituted roast beef for bouille and
soup, and at the end of a few weeks the
work done by the two gangs was exactly
equal. 1
Dr. Vigsford concludes by saying that
the animal diet is not only preferable to
tho vegetable, but that, taken in a reason
able quantity, one can exclude all other
kinds of food with an Immense advantage
to health.
Although supported by observations and
experiments, this latter principle will ap
pear doubtless somewhat exaggerated to
those who are not in the fight and who
perhaps will be wise in holding fast to the
precepts of their fathers and eating both
vegetables and meat. Man is ojpnivQroui,
as Buffon said.—Paris Cor. Courridr des
Etats Unis.
Before the Rapid Fire Gone.
A lieutenant who was among the
wounded before Santiago thus describes
the sensation of being a target for a rapid
fire gun:
“We were going forward under a scat
tering fire from the front, and all at once,
off at the right, a rapid firing gun opened
on us. There was no smoke, so we cduld
not locate the battery exactly, but we
could see the bullets playing over the long
grass like spray from a hose. They didn’t
have the range at first, and the shower of
bullets went swinging back and forth,
clipping off the tops of the grass and opin
ing nearer us with every sweep. You can’t
imagine the sensations It gave us to watch
that death spray, driven by some invisi
ble, relentless force, creeping on and on,
reaching out and feeling for us.
“There was something unnatural about
it, and we watched as though we were
fascinated by it. I didn’t feel as If men
had anything to do with it. It was an im
personal deadly enemy that I couldn’t
fight and couldn’t escape. There wasn’t a
living enemy within sight At last, with
one big sweep, the shower reached us. Men
all around me dropped, and then I felt a
sting In my side, and down I went I be
lieve we were all thankful when that gun
found us. It relieved the tension—but It
ended my fighting.**
Creole Wedding In Manila.
“Ah, senor,” said to me, sighing, an
old creole dame, “how times are changed I
If it had not been for this cursed war with
America, I would have prayed you to in
vite your compatriots, who must be dying
of ennui on their ships, to come td the
wedding of my granddaughter Carmen
olta. She and her friends, pretty as they
tell me I myself was once, would have
done you the honors of my poor house.
They would have served you with choco
late so much the more succulent in that it
was made by their little hands, and that
the Philippines produce the best cocoa in
the world. The evening would have passed
in smoking delicious puros, in listening
nonchalantly, seated on tilted chairs. to
native songs chanted by my CarmooOlto.
Then they would have danced the Whole
night an interminable habanera to the
sound of harps and guitars.’*
Sighing as she said this, the good old
creole asked me if it was true that the
Americans were pagans, and at my re
sponse in the negative she begged xqe to
light a puro as big as a stalk of muse.
Having respectfully given her the light
she desired, I left her absorbed in the
smoke of her voluminous cigar.—Cor. Le
Temps. « ■ - <
HU Wound.
They had surrounded him, had the pa
triotic women, this hero of the “Fighting
Thirteenth.’’ He had a most engaging
limp.
“Was it done by one of those dreadful
Mauser bullets?” asked the tall blond with
the eyeglasses.
“Will you be crippled for life?” queried
the plump brunette.
“I suppose he was shot while carrying
a wounded comrade off the field,” gushed
the romantic maiden.
The crippled veteran, as modest as he
was brave, was visibly embarrassed by
these tributes from the fair. As soon as he
could control his emotion he remarked
simply:

Spanish Wooden Bullets*
It is well known that Spanish sol»
diers in Cabs were poor marksmen,
says the Scientific American, but
great surprise has been expressed at
(be remarkable lack of execution
which characterized their fire at Guan*
tanamo and Santiago, and an officer
of the United States gunboat “Mont
gomery” has been able to throw some
light on the matter. He visited the
“Maria Teresa” after the destruction
of Cer vera’s fleet in search of souvenirs.
He found a large number of Mauser
cartridges in groups of five ready to
go into the magazines of the guns,
and, if the entire Spanish army and
navy were equippied with that kind of
ammunition, both Cervera and Toral
were amply justified in surrendering
when they did. The cartridges con
sisted of a metal shell loaded with hair
and a sprinkling of powder. The bul
let was of neitberjbrasa nor lead, but
of wood. Some army contractor had
imposed on the ordnance bureau of
the Spanish navy, but to what extent
the wooden Mauser bullets were used
will probably never be known.
