VEGETARIANS THE STRONGER.
Yale’s Flesh Eating Athletes Beaten In
Severe Endurance Tests.
Professor Irving Fisher of Yale be
lieves that he has shown definitely the
Inferiority iu strength and endurance
tests of meat eaters to those who do
not eat meat. For more than a year
Professor Fisher carried on the experi
ments with two groups of men.
Athletes who were meat eaters vied
with those who were practically ab
stainers from flesh food, and in every
case the abstainers won. Some of
Yale’s most successful athletes took
part in the strength tests for meat eat
ers. and Professor Fisher declares they
were obliged to admit their inferiority
in strength.
Professor Fisher says in the Yale
Medical Journal:
“The first comparison (for arm hold
ing) shows a great superiority on the
side of the flesh abstainers. Only two
of the fifteen flesh eaters succeeded In
holding their arms out over a quarter
e-f an hour, whereas twenty-two of the
thirty-two abstainers surpassed that
limit. None of the flesh eaters reached
half an hour, but fifteen of the thirty
two abstainers exceeded that limit. Of
theso nine exceeded an hour, four ex
ceeded two hours, and one exceeded
three hours.
“In respect to deep knee bending, if
we take the number 3?5 for reference,
we find that of the nine flesh eaters
only three surpassed this figure, while
of the twenty-one abstainers# seventeen
surpassed it. Only one of the nine
flesh eaters reached 1.000 as against
six of the twenty-one abstainers. None
Cf the former surpassed. 2,000 as
against two of the latter. .
“In general it may be said that what
ever the explanation there is strong
evidence that a low r proteid, nonflesh,
or nearly nonflesh, dietary Is conducive
to endurance.”
A desire to sneeze can be stopped, on
the instant by pressing the upper lip
very hard with the fingers. It is a
remedy that rarely fails.

SHE PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY
Dissolution Wa3 So Peaceful that the
Physicians Had Difficulty in Telling
When Final End Came —Sketch of
Her Life.
Canton, 0., May 27. —At 1:05 p.
ra. Sunday afternoon, Mrs. McKinley
fed into the sleep that knows no
avfakening. The transition from life
ti> death was so peaceful and gradual
that it was with difficulty that the
vigilant physicians and attendants
noted when dissolution came.
There was no struggle—no pain.
Mrs. McKinley never knew of the ef
forts made for days to prolong her
life, nor of the solicitous hops against
hope of her sister and other relatives
and friends for her recovery.

Mrs. McKinley’s last words were
for death. An attendant said: “Mrs.
McKinley would say, ‘Why should I
linger?’ Pleas® God, if it is Thy
will, why ’defer it.’ She would say
also, ‘He is gone now., and life is
dark to m3.’ Other kindred expres
sions would .ilso fall from ter lips.”
A.t the McKinley home when death
came there wore present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Bar
ber, Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. LU
fher Day, Justice and Mrs. William
R. Day, Drs. Portmann and Rixey
and the nurses.
“Mrs. McKinley lasted hours long

tary. “Her vitality was wonderful,”
said Dr. Portmann.

A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
He Wanted a Photograph to Remind
Him of His LookN.
Having an engagement at his office
at an unusually early hour, Allen was
hurrying in that direction when he was
j amazed to see his friend Walters stand
ing in the doorway of a cheap photo
graphic studio nervously rattling the
handle of the locked door and tapping
Impatiently on the glass panel. Wal
ters was in a condition that comes un-
I der the heading of “untit for publica
tion.’’ He was in his evening clothes;
his once shiny silk hat was rutiled and
; dented, necktie askew and overcoat
j rumpled. As Allen hailed him he turn
ed a pair of bloodshot eyes and tried
to smile.
“What on earth are you doing here?’’
asked Allen in surprise.
“Want to get my picture taken,”
said Walters gravely.
“Picture taken? This hour? And in
your condition—that is to say, without
fixing up a bit? Don’t be silly, man.
Go home and get a little rest.’’ And
' Allen tried to draw Walters in the di
rection of a drug store. Walters
wrenched himself free.
“I know what I’m doing,” he declar
ed. “I want my picture taken—the big
gest picture I can get too. And I pro
pose to get it before I leave here.”
And, turning, he pounded again at the
photographer’s door.
Although Allen was in a hurry, he
felt that he ought to stay by his friend,
who seemed to be utterly irresponsible.
He coaxed, begged and pleaded, but all
the satisfaction he got was the state
ment, “I know what I’m doing.”
Finally, as Allen showed no disposi
tion to let; him alone, Walters braced
himself against the door and said;
“I was drunk last night, hopelessly
and foolishly drunk, and I look and
feel it. I’m all mussed up, got a head
like a barrel and a throat like a fur
nace. I/m dirty, disreputable and dizzy
and feel like the back yard of an east
side tenement house.

“This Is the second time I’ve been
drunk in ten years. The first time it
happened I was with some friends,
and in the course of the end of our
spree we invaded a photograph gallery
and had our pictures taken just as we
were. That picture was the best tem
perance lecture I ever had. I kept it
framed In my room. In the morning
as I went out it warned me not to
drink during the day. At night it
showed me plainly what I had avoided
by not drinking.
“There was a fire in the apartment
next to me a few weeks ago, and the
firemen burst into my place. They
upset things generally and smashed
my picture all to bits in hacking dow r n
the mantelpiece to get at the I
lost my guardian angel, so to speak,
but felt reasonably sure of myself.
Last night I met some congenial
friends, and —well, I’m going to get an
other picture taken if I wait here all
day.” And Walters kicked savagely
at the door, which this time was open
ed by a sleepy looking man, who ush
ered him into the studio, while Allen
hurried away.—New York Press.
The Spleen.
The spleen? Up to 1900 no physician
dared to stand up in a clinic and teil
what it was made for. For ages it
was supposed to be the organ of irasci
bility. “Oh, bis spleen is up!” meant
that the old man was hot in the collar.
Curious thing, that spleen. There is
a herb called “spleenwort,” which was
supposed to remove such splenetic dis
orders as ill humor, melancholy and ir
ritability. I saw a spleen the other
day for the first time and was astound
ed. It was a soft, highly vascular,
plum colored thing w r ith a smooth sur
face. It was nearly six inches in
length and weighed seven ounces. Now
here is the funny feature of the spleen;
After a hearty meal it is very much
smaller than at other times, which
may help to explain why a man is
good natural after dinner. In diseased
conditions the spleen may* reach a
weight of eighteen or twenty pounds.—

Melinda Had to Go.
One of the old governors of the Car
olinas was a man who had lived a
farmer’s life most of the time until he
was elected, and his wife, having nev
er seen a steamboat or a railroad and
having no wish to test either one, re
fused to accompany her husband to
the capital. When the governor reach
ed his destination, he found that al
most all the other officials were ac
companied by their wives, and he sent
an imperative message to his brother
to “fetch Melinda along.” The brother
telegraphed, “She’s afraid even to look
at the engine.” The governor read the'
message and pondered over it for a
few moments. At the end of that time
he sent off the following command:
“Bill, you blindfold Melinda and back
her on to the train.”
