THE USE OF MEATS. Shall Wo Eat Doric Heat?, Instit Bf emt* or Leso Bf eat t The opinion has boen greatly prevc- ' lent not only In the medical profession, but with the general public, that light meats are more easily digestible, that they contain less deleterious constitu ents than the dark-meats and that therefore they are better suited for the nourishment of sick people in general, and for those suffering from gout, uric acid diathesis and certain forms of kid ney disease In particular. This suppo sition was based, no doubt, upon tho statements which may be found in medical literature-that the dark meats contain rory much more nitrogenous material and extractive*, than the light meats. In Nos. 43, 44 and 40 of the Berliner klinische Wochenschrift Offer & Itc senquist publish the result of a series of earef ul analyses which do not agree with those of the older analyses. They show some of the fallacies of previous investigators and come to' the conclu: sion that, while the white meats of poultry, fish, etc., do In certain cases contain less nitrogenous and extractive materials, the average amount does not differ greatly enough In the w? :te and dark meats to make cither pre ?rable. In concluding"their article '.ney state that if it is desirable to limit the amount of these deleterious food con stituents we may accomplish the result much more certainly by limiting the amount of meat taken rather than by forbidding dark meats. It is a well known fact that almost all the food materials contain a propor tion of waste matter, and this ls de sirable; most foods also contain con stituents which In large quantities are deleterious, but In smallor quantities may be beneficial. Tho extractives of meat, among the more important of which are^lactic acid, butyric add, acetic acid, etc., are by no means harm ful If taken In small quantities, as is or dinarily the case, and the same ls true of the nitrogenous constituents, There can be little doubt, however, that these constituents do have sf* bad effect among certain people who eat large quantities Of meat, and this evil is without question more prevalent in America than In almost any other part of the world. It arises from the fact that the meat supply Is comparatively large with us, and the people are rela tively prosperous and caa afford to buy larger amounts of meat than people of most other nations. Throe heavy meat meals In a day Is nothing unusual among certain classes of people, and on nearly all of the bills of fare of leading restaurants and ho tels the Hst of meats Is as great or greater than that of vegetables. We would not decry the uso of a reason able amount of meat, but believe that disorders arising from uric acid dia thesis would be less frequent If wo were accastomcd to use the meats less freely.-Philadelphia Medical Record. An Eye For Badness Only. "A West Philadelphia woman," says the Philadelphia Record, "tells of an Incident which she witnessed, Illustra tive of the Ignorance of many immi grants and the lack of Interest which they take In their surroundings. " 'There Is an Italian who sells flow era In Market street, near the city hall,* she says. 'To my own knowledge ho has been there for five years, perhaps longer. I was looking Into a shop window the other day, when I noticed a couple of women, who were evident ly strangers In the city, stop and speak to the Italian. ""iWhat Is that large building?" asked one, pointing to the city hall. " 'The Italian shook his head. " ' "Me no know," he said. "Me sell da flower, IO cen ta da bunch'." i " 'At this juncture ? stepped up and volunteered the desired Information. But that fellow made me mad.

SNEEZE COST $10,000.* How a Detective Loet a Blsj Rcvrard Offered For Thieve?. While the detectives were sitting around the office writing for the ser geant to Issue assignments and make details one of the men, an old sleuth whoso hair bas grown white shadow ing criminals, suddenly gave a loud sneeze that made tho incandescent tights vibrate. "Great stars1." exclaimed one of the younger brood. "You aro tho most vo ciferous sneezer I ever heard." "Yes, and let me tell you something, boyo," replied the old detective. "That sneeze of minc once cost me $10,000." The expressions of Incredulity upon the faces of his hearers caused the old detective to tell the story of the costly sneeze. "Maybe some ot you remember," he said, "about the police In Atlanta being notified back In the eighties of two bank robbers heading this way. They had robbedH bank in tho east, and thc report was they were coming to Atlan ta to meet and divido tho spoils, hav ing separated after the robbery to avoid suspicion. I was detailed td work on the case, and lt wasn't many days be fore I had spotted a suspicious stran ger stopping at a boarding house In tho city. I kept a close watch on him, and a few days later another suspicious character turned up and went to the same house to board. I knew the men were only suspected and that to secure evidence upon which to convict them I would have to see them together when they divided the money or hear them discuss their plans when they thought themselves unnoticed." Thc story was getting Interesting, for the "boys" In the detective office knew that no matter how much the old sleuth fooled other people he never went back on the "profesh."- , * "So I arranged with the landlady of the boarding house," continued the old detective, "to lock me up In the closet opening into the room which my birds occupied. I was afraid not to have the closet locked, because the fellows might have pried around and opened the closet to bc sure they were alone. I was to stn y In the locked closet until the men held their meeting, and as soon as they left the landlady was to hurry Into the room and release me. The rest would have been plain sail ing. Well, the fellows met, and I was In the closet all right I heard them talk about how they lind worked the robbery abd discuss the division of the monoy. Then at a most critical mo ment I felt that I was going to sneeze. I did everything In ?tty power to keep the sneeze down, but the dust In the closet had got in its work, and I gave one of my regulation sneezes, greatly intensified because I had attempted to suppress it.

The London Chronicle relates thc fol- , lowing, which goes to show that "truth ls stranger than fiction:" A Polish Jewess who married a Pol ish Jew was subsequently divorced In accordance with the communal law. Coming to England, she represented herself as a widow and waa then woo ed and won by a "Cohen." Now, a '.'Cohen," as one of the tribe of Aaron, must not morry a divorced woman. On discovering the real facts th's mau not only ceased to live with her, but he refused to maintain her. The mag istrates, however, before whom he was brought, refused to recognize the com munal law and several times sent him to prison for uonmaintenance. Thc man has now been advised to apply to ' the divorce court for a decree of nulli ty of marriage. Will the divorce court recognize tue communal action?

Tho sale of wigs jets larger every year. One of the leading causes of baldness ls the stiff hat. Bowler and silk hats exert a firm pressure around tho head, preventing tho circulation of the blood. Soft hats would be less hurtful; no hat would be still better. Most of the arti ficial hair sold in this country comes from the heads of tho peasant girls of Europe. Hair cutters constantly go about making baigains for this hair. These girls never wear hats. There are more bald heads in tho cit ies, where stiff hats are worn, than In tho rural districts, where the men wear a looser head covering.-Philadelphia Ledger. One Taina That Won't Stop. Marla Mitchell, who has been called the "Mother of thc Stars," when pro fessor of. astronomy and director of the observatory at Vassar was an In spiring teacher, and, in spite of her brusque manner and severity, was adored by her pupils. Every spring Just before tho commencement she gave a "domo party" to the girls. Small tables were placed around the large telescope in the observatory, and roses from Miss Mitchell's own garden brightened the atmosphere. Nonsenso poems were a feature of these* break fasts, and the astronomer was proud of her skill In writing them. She was not without a keen senso of fun, in spite of her constant and absorbing duties, as was shown by her dryly con soling observation to an awestrlckeu student whom she was leaving one doy In charge of the instruments of the observatory.

He has not conquered upon so largo a soale. I observed that ho had shown great judgment and caution latterly, but that at first ho had been too precipitate in advancing into Spain.
