Thomas CA.STOTIXA. Bmw th» Yb Kind yw Always Bought ffigaataas > of 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: “Ah, g’wanl ’Tain’t nawthin but a boil oa me knee.”—Buffalo Exureas. , - ACTIVE SOLICITORS WANTED EV ERYWHERE for “The Story of the Phil ippines,” Murat Halstead, commissioned by the Government as Official Historian to the War Department The book was written in army camps at San Francisco, on the Pacific with General Merritt, in the hospitals at Honolulu, in Hong Kong, in the American trenches at Manilla, in the Insurgent camps with Aguinaldo, on the deck of the Olympia with Dewey, and in the roar of battle at the fall of Manilla.

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.
