ITEiif ELATED I"OR THE DISPATCH. J
One night, little Prince Henry had s
very strange dream. He thought that the
door of his room opened softly, and the
rich curtains hancimf about his bed were
"parted by a beautiful little girl, dressed as
a. princess; but her !ace v.is sad, and he r
large blue eyes were fciled with tears.
Without waiting for the Prince to speak,
the figure began in the sweetest voice, to
sing, tolt and low. When her song was
ended she disappeared and the hoy awoke
with the melody ot the song ringing in his
cars but of the words he could remember
only these: "And bow in the form of a
pure white fawn, the enchanted maiden
wanders."
r.ir nmiv divs in his waits and rides,
and even at liis studies, the Prince whistled
or hummed the air wch the beautiful
-vision in his dreams had suvg; and of every
person whom lie suet, lie asked: "Do yon
know the song about the white fawn and the
enchanted maiden?"
JSut none of the courtiers nor the
musicians in the place had heard the song;
and all must answer "no" to the boy's
earnest question.
Prince HenrT became so anxious to know
the other words, that he sent to distant
THE BKAT-TII 11 . .XIMAt, DBEW
ctiuntrirs tor other musicians, who, he
thought, would surely be able to gratify his
desire. Cut, although many wee' -voiced
singers from every land assembled at the
court of the King, the Prince conld learn
nothing further of the enchanted maiden
and the white lawn.
He then traveled into foreign reilras,
thinning that there he might gain the in
formation be desired. But all to no .pur
pose, and the King's son returned to his na
tive land no wiser than when he left it. One
s i try summer day the Prince wandered
alone into the great forest surrounding his
father's palace. Having become tired and
drowsy by the heat he lay down under a
wide-spreading oak, and was soon fast
asleep. He did not see the great storm
clouds mounting into the sky and throwing
a dark doom o er the lorest, nor did he hear
the heavy roll of thunder, always growing
lnnder; much less did he heed a rustle among
the bushes, where a white fawn stepped cau
tiously, as it fearing to rouse the sleeper.
But just before the rain began to fall in tor
rents from the heavens the beautiful animal
drew near and licked the Prince's hand.
The boy awoke with a start, and caught a
glimpse of the fawn as it bounded through
the bushes.
"That is the white fawn of my song,"
cried Prince Henry; and, in tpite of the
rain and storm, he sought diligently
through the forest; but was unable to find
the object of his search.
Jfoir the Prince became more nneasy than
before. He called together the hunters ot
the Linedom, but none of them had seen the
white fawn, and ihey were of the opinion
that their Ling's son was surety mad, while
the Prince cronounced the hunters "stupid
old men who cared for nothing but fat
venison." Even the king himself now be
came interested in his son's desire to hear
the strance song and see the white fawn.
One day having returned from a journey
through his realm he said:
"My son, near the palace is a large
meadow, where every dav a small boy comes
to tend the sheep. As x passed him to-day
I heard him singing your "song."
These words delighted the Prince, and he
et once sent to the meadow for the boy. But
when the poor shepherd lad arrived he was
to abashed in the presence of so much splen
dor that his memory failed him, and he
could remember only that part of the song
which Prince Henry already knew. Then
the young Prince exclaimed:
"1 shall nave no more beggars coming to
the palace. Take this fellow away; and
every day J shall go myself into the forest,
and watch for the fawn, which will surely
come again to me."
And the next morning, having dressed
lymelf in the garb of a peasant, the Prince
went into the forest, and sought again the
old oak tree, where first he bad seen the
fawn. There he whistled the air which was
always running through his mind. An old
woman, bent with age and bearing upon her
shoulders a heavy burden, passed. As she
heard the voice of the Prince, she said:
"That is a strange song you sing. I thought
that I and my grandson, who tends sheep in
the meadow, were the only ones who
knew it"
"Do yon know that song?" cried the
Prince excitedly. "Sing it for me, and 1
shall pay you any sum you ask."
The woman, mistaking the Prince for a
peasant boy, replied: "What great sum can
a poor lad like yon give? But if your desire
to hear the song is so great, bear my burden
to my cottage, and your wish "shall be
gratified."
The Prince willingly complied with this
request, and with the "heavy burden on his
strong, young shoulders, he accompanied
the old woman Nj her humble home, and
there heard the song which for so many
dajs he had been longing to hear. The
verses told the sorrowful history of a
beautiful princess who had been taken from
her father's palace by a wicked enchanter,
and had been chained to a great rock, in
one of the many mountain caves, Irom
which she was permitted to -wander In the
form of a white fawn, for a few hours each
day. When the old woman had ended the
wng, the Prince asked:
? "Is this story true, and is there no way to
fescue the Princess?"
Tes," replied the old woman, "the .story
is true, and happened many, man v years
ago. The old king Is long since dead; but
. his beautiful daughter, who never grows
older, still sits in the creary cave, Who
- ever sees the white lawn, and follows it to
the cave can rescue the Princess. Butthe
way is long and dangerous, ily two brave
-svr
t brothers lost their lives in inch an attempt"
V Ulle sne was aim Bucukiu, me wuiib
lawn bonuded through the forest, paused a
moment .before the cottage door, and then
hastened on its way. The "Prince, without
heeding the old woman' warning cry,'
sprang out into the path and after the
fitwn. Now it ranr up steep mountain
sides, and again through shady delli; some
times it sped as the wind, and again, walked
slowly, as if waiting for the Prince.
The old woman's words proved true; for
the way was, indeed,' long and dangerous,
often leading over stony paths and through
thornv bushes. Once the Prince thought
that he would no longer be able to endure
the fatigue. But the thought ofjhe beauti
ful Princess and her dreary life gave him
new conrage and seeuied to renew his failing
strength. Alter following the lawn up a
rough mountain path, the Prince saw be ore
him a shady grove, under whose great trees
stood a table, around which was a company
of happy people, enjoying the cool, refresh
ing air, and partaking of rich viands. A
tall, fair maiden, carrying a glass of cold,
sparkling water, left her place and ap
proached the Prince. In gentle tones, she
said: "You are tired and thirsty, drink of
this."
The parchedips of the Prince craved the
cooling draught; but at that moment the
fawn tnrned with such an appealing look-,
as if to say:
"Taste it not, taste" it not Follow me."
XEAK THE SLEEPING PEIKCE.
Prince Henry dashed the cup to the
ground and hastened on his way. Again,'
when the fawn entered a dense forest, the
roaring of wild beasts wag heard, and as a
hideous, poisonous serpent glided across the
path, the Prince shrank back in terror. But
once more the fawn glanced backward, and
a sweet voice was heard lo say: "Advance,
nob'e Prince, and fear not."
The youth, ashamed of his lack of cour
age, now boldly pressed forward. At once
the roaring of the beasts ceased, the forest
rang with the songs of birds and the
ground was covered with rare flow
ers. The fa-wn, too, disappeared, and
a beautitul miiden, with long, golden hair
and large blue eyes, stood before the Prince
and said: "At last I am released from the
dreary, dreary life which I have endured
so long. How can I thank yon for your
great kindness to me?"
But the Prince.dia not wish for thanks.
He hurried with the Princess to his father's
palace, which, to his great surprise, was but
a short distance away. -
Long years afterward, when the Prince
took his father's place as King of the coun
try, the fair Princess, whom he had rescued
from the power of the evil enchanter, ruled
with him. and was beloved by all who knew
her. And now the song of the White
Fawn and the Enchanted Maiden is Often
sung by one and all of the courtiers of King
Henry. Paysie.

A, STORY OF 3UTTNEB.
The Bogus Divorce Lawyer's Career at a
Cleveland Shyster.
William H. Buttner, the New York law
yer, who has recently obtained much noto
riety in the bogus divorce business, was for
merly a resident of Cleveland. He came
from some Western Territory where the con
ditions for admission to the bar are ex
tremely light and practiced law in this city
for several months, says the Cleveland
Leader. He spent the greater part of his
time at the Police Court, and by means of
'shyster' method? managed to make a
living. He was a tall, good-looking fellow,
with a long, yellow mustache, but
his face had the reverse of an
intellectual one. Whenever he appeared
upon the street lie wore a glossy silk hat,
which, during the progress of a trial in
court, always reposed upon tbe attorney's
table. One day, while he was in the midst
ot a flow of oratory in some petty case, Constable-White
attached the silk hat as the
only property he could find to seize for a
debt, and sold it in front of Richard & Mc
Kean's restaurant Buttner left the city a
few days later and went to Chicaso, and
afterward went to Cincinnati, where be
figured in a sensational encounter with a
detective. Afterward he drifced to New
Ycfrk, and about three years later came back
to Cleveland on a visit.
''How are you getting along in New
York?" asked a gentleman who happened to
meet him on the street
"First rate." replied Buttner, drawing
himself up to his lull height "lam prac
ticing law and am making money fast My
card, sir."
He banded out a business card bearing
the name of the well-known divorce mill.
"I am a member of the General Assem
bly," continued Buttner."
"I thought that you were a Republican."
"I was, but now I am a Democrat, sir.
A man has to be a Democrat in New York
to be in the swim, you know."
Where the Chinese Excel.
An Austrian impressario, who has im
ported whole galaxies of Oriental stars, says
an English.exchanje, holds that Japan ex
cels in acrobats, and .Hindostan in beast
tamers, but that China stands unrivalled
for sleight of band tricksters ot the myster
ious and incomprehensible kind. The ma
gicians of the flowery Kingdom seem to
form a special guild, and transmit their
trade secrets from generation to generation.
Our Gentle Words.
No obstacle can blunt bis zest
For dark revenge or cruel bate.
Those fiendish passions ot the breast
Can make him brave the darkest fate;
And whether banger, cold or pain
Or all proclaim the dark decree.
To him sucb sufferings are but vain
So he fulfills his destiny. v
If he can circumvent to creep
On foeman in the embrace of sleep,
Or victimize by slow surprise
Of deep dissembling disguise.
No obstacle of field or Hood
Can place a barrier In his way.
He stems the torrent; threads the wood
An I crawls like panther on bis prey,
At much at home in pathless wood
As squatter by his cabin door.
He ligtits lirsflrc, cooks bis food.
Furnished from nature's lavish store,
'Then sleeps tbe blazing fire nigh
With heaven's vault bit canupv.

SOCIAL . CUSTOMS "OF THE CAPITAL
rCOBKXSFOXDSXCX OT THE DISPATCH.
LrsiA, Peru, 'Dec a In these parts
gaily bedizzened military men are as
'numerous as flies in mid-summer.'averaging
about one brass-mounted warrior to every
ten "common" ones. While the rantand
file of the Peruvian nrmy it almost ex
clusively made up of 'Indians and negroes,
tbe line and staff represent some of the best
families in the republic. All tbe officers
are sons of the aristocracy, who have been
educated to their vocation in the various
military schools. They wear extremely
gaudy uniforms, with plenty of scarlet
cloth, gold lace and brass buttons, and are
never seen in anything but lull military
dress, off duty or on.
A Spaniaid, whatever his station in Jife,
is proud to wear a sword; bnt nothing can
induce him to carry a musket This
prejudice of caste was strongly exemplified
a few years ago, in the defense of Lima
against the Chilian armv, when doctors,
lawyers, merchants, priests everybody,
regardless of calling or condition rushed
into the ranks mnch-as did citizens ot the
United States in '61; but not a mother's
son of them could be coaxed or compelled to
put on uniform. They were glad to fight in
defense of their homes and country, but
refused to be degraded by wearing the
toggery of common soldiers.
AMAZOKS OF SHE SOUTH.
The Indians constitute the infantry, and
being accustomed from childhood to travel
on foot in the mountainous interior, they
have acquired wonderful rapidity and en
durance on the march. With each company
of soldiers there goes a squad of women who
are called rabonaa a dozen of them to every
20 or 30 men. These female volunteers serve
without pay, but are given rations and free
transportation; for the Government not only
tolerates but encourages their presence, as it
serves to make the men more contented.
They are really of much service on the
march, in camp and in battle. They share
the same fatigues and exposures as their
lords and masters, besides doing most of the
foraging fur the messes to which, they be
long, not to mention the cooking, washing
and other necessary work.
They are always with the men, are offici
ally enumerated in the rosters of troops, as
also in the reports of casualties so many
men and so many rabonas killed and
wounded for they.share the soldiers' death
as uncomplainingly as they do bis priva
tions. In battle they nurse- the wounded,
carry wateVand ammunition, rob the dead,
and perform any other useiul services that
may be required. The custom of allowing
rabonas to go with the army grew of the
babit the Incas had of taking their wives
to war; but as time went on the marital ties
among this class became lessened by common
consent.
BABIES IN THE BAKKS.
Their powers of endurance are extraordi
nary. Often they have to march 20 to SO
miles between daylight and dark, many of
them carrying bab'ies on their backs. There
is Tiardly a company without a score of
youngsters following at tbe heels of the
rabonas. The children of the regimeniliave
the hardest time, being homeless from birth
as well as nameless, generally without rest
or shelter, and often without food. -When
one of them.' dies on the march, the mother
strips off tbe rags and throws the poor little
body into the sand or leaves it under a tree,
glad to be relieved of the enenmbrauce.
The Peruvian soldiers are all volunteers,
because, as in most republics, conscription
is forbidden by law. But the way they
"volunteer" is unique. When more soldiers
are needed, men are sent out who capture
Indians wherever tbey can at their homes,
on the highway, or in the thicareas. These
are locked up until there are enough to send
to headquarters, wben they are taken before
the proper recruiting officers and made to
sign a statement to the eflect that they "vol
unteer" lo serve their country as long as
she may need tbem. Of course thev cannot
reaa, ana -sign Dy 'mating a cross; but
thus the law's demands are satisfied. A
dozen or more "volunteers'' are then lashed
together, each having bis hands tied behind
him, and they are driven to the garrison,
like sheep to a slaughter-bous?, and are
turned over to the tender mercies of a drill
sergeant - -
HO-W THE CRIMINALS FABE.
The Lima penitentiary, which bv the way
was built by a Philadelphia arohitect, o'n
the plan of the Philadelphia House of Cor
rection, contains about 150 prisoners, who
are serviue out life sentences for murder.
The Liberal Government long ago abolished
capital punishment, but political offenders
are still tried by military courts, and sbot
when adjudged guilty of conspiracy or
treason. 'Hanging was never perpetrated in
.Peru, even in tbe darkest days of Spanish
cruelty. The prisoners are mostly engaged
in making uniforms, shoes and other equip
ments lor the army.
Though Lima is surrounded by some
mot romantic and inviting spots, there
seems to be a univesal indifference to coun
try life; except during a certain stason.)
when it is the cutoui of those who can af
Jbrd it to flock to Miraflores (the Newport
of Peru) or to make themselves uncomfort
able for sake of a little sea-bathing at Cho
rillos, the local Long Branch. There are
plenty of other places within short dist-nces
irom the crowded city, which, were it New
York, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago or
any other North' American metropolis,
would be covered by suburban villas.
People do not even ride out to these lovely
spots for a breath of Country air, but fashion
confines itself to the busy streets, except on
All Souls' Day, when everybody prome
nades in the great pantheon, just outside
the citv limits, and on the 22d day of June,
when the Limalan world proceeds to the
hill of Amancaes to pick daffodils.
THE DESTRUCTIONS OF "WAR.
In Lima the splendid trees of the parks
and boulevards, even those of the botanical
gardens, were chopped down for fuel by the
unman soldiers auring tne (Jhiii-reruvian
war. Tbe entire museum of Peruvian curi
osities one of the largest of ltx kind in tbe
world was packed up and shipped to Santi
ago. The most valuable boots of the no
tional library, fncluding a vast collection of
old manuscripts, inquisition relics and other
priceless relics, were thrown into sacKs and
sent after the museum. Musical instru
ments were hacked in pieces by swords and
axes; historical paintings cut from their
frames, and many smaller pictures, statues
and articles of virtu were carried off as
private plunder. Peru's greatest painting,
Marini's "Burial of Atahunlpa, the List of
the Incas," was Btolen irom the wall Where
it hunc, but the protests of the diplomatic
corps finally induced the Chilians to leave
it Churches, as well as private houses,
were stripped, and what could not be
destroyed or carried away was consumed by
fire, the purpose of the invaders being to
deprive the Peruvians of everylbiug tbey
prized.
But despite the present poverty of the old
capital, evidences of fife refined taste of its
people in music and art is everywhere ap
parent Its aristocratic circles are ex
tremely exclusive, and their social laws are
very rigid. However rich or respectable a
foreign resident may be, he finds it difficult
to obtain any Art of social standing among
the highest "set;" but if he comes for a tem
porary stay with good,. letters of introduc
tion, he will be received with cordial hospi
tality, and will 'be.well entertained. "This
is especially true rin regard" tJBnglishand
American officefs,who are in great demand
at balls, dinners, etc,,. whcnevcMheir ships
fa f - c
are in the harbor; for here, at elsewhere,
the ladies have "an especial liking for gold
lace and brass buttons.
THE SOCIAL, DISPLAYS. -
Since that terrible war there have been
few public balls and receptions; and for the
tame reason, povertv, there is not.nearly n
much display in dress and jewels as for
merly. However, the glitter of "gaud and
gear" It still dazzling on first nights ai the
opera, and on other fiesta occasions; for the
ladies of the present generation inherited
many splendid gems, from their fair an
cestresses, bought in the golden days of
Peru when money was poured out like
water. From tbe same source descended
the priceless lace and the rich, old-fashioned
fabrics one sees so much ot in Limaian
"best society," which make a nineteenth
century senorita look as if she had just
stepped down and out ot an old painting.
Those ancient social restrictions, which
make it a breach of decorum foi a lady to
see a gentleman alone for one moment until
after marriage, still prevail in Peru among
the upper classes, and the numerous petty
conventionalities arc as strongly marked as
is the entire absence of all conventionality
among tbe lower orders. For example: A
gentleman has had repeated Invitations to
call upon a certain family, and some fine
day he goes. In every case he must ask for
tbe gentleman of the house; or, if he is not
at home, the point may be stretched to the
extent of asking fortheelder brother, should
there be a grown up yonng man in the fam
ily. Ifit happens that both are absent, the
visitor must depart at once, leaving his card
for the master of the ,cas i and his verbal
compliments for the ladies, but on no ac
count must he ask to see the latter:
"WILLi FLIRT OJT OPPORTUXITT.
If the father or brother are at home they
will welcome tbe caller most hospitably.
One by one the female members of the
family will all drop in; some music, on
harp, piano or mandolin,1 will be beautifully
rendered by thesenorftas, who, coquettish by
nature und eager to entertain and be enter
tained, will "make eyes" at the caller if he
has the faintest approach to attractiveness
about him; tea or chocolate with dulcies will
be served, and a most charming honr or two
may be spent
Peruvian cookery is an incongruous mix
tare of foreign and native styles, tbe latter
predominating at private meals, the former
at all ceremonious repasts. A dinner table
custom, which was once common and is not
yet entirely done away with, even in proud
Lima, is called the bocadita, and is a rather
comical if not always entirely accept
able demonstration of friendship, or
something warmer. It consists in selecting
a choice morsel from your own plate, and
handing it on your fork to some lady pres
ent; who, in her turn, privileged to notonly
pay back the delicate compliment, but to in
tensify it by taking a tid-bit Irom her own
plate, without the oid of a knife or fork,
and presenting it to the gentleman who has
made the challenge, he leaning over the ta
ble and receiving it in.his mouth from her
ringers, it used to be customary in Peru,
on all occasions of formality, for tbe host
and hostess to eat by themselves, imme
diately before the banquet; and then during
the progress of the ceremonious repast to
take nothing whatever, though sitting one
at each end of the table, being supposed in
that way to give their undivided attention
to the guests.
BECIPES FROM PERU.
One article that may be called a national
dish of Peru is known as puchero. I have
obtained the recei pt for you, and here it is:
Have a kettle according to your puchero ;
put into it a large piece of beef or mutton,
some cabbage, sweet potatoes, salt pork,
sausaee, pigs feet, yucas, bananas, quinces,
Irish potatoes, pears, peas and rice; with
spices, salt and plenty of red peppers. Add
sufficient water, and' stew tbe whole gently
four or five hours; then serve on a deep
platter. Puchero is patterned somewhat
after theolla podrida of Spain, tbe chowder
of New England and the bouillabiasse of
Southern France, but contains more ingre
dients and. more flavors than all of them put
together. I cannot say that I dislike it, but
could get along with it a great deal better
if they would put in less red pepper.
Another stew, simpler than pucnero, is
called chape, a favorite breakfast dish, but
not often served ai dinner. The lower
classes are fond of the hottest picantes, com
pounded of meat, fish, crabs, meal, potatoes,
bananas and red peppers, mixed with tbe
juice of bitter oranges and stewed in water.
We have tasted this wonderful mixture, but
could not get to a second spoonful in conse
quence ot the fiery nature of tbe peppers.
Swallowing a torchlight proccssiou would
be preferable to a dinner of picantes.
Around the landing place at Callao we saw
women with little braziers of iharcoal, lad
ling out steaming picantes to the laborers
and idlers of the port and were told that it
is their only article of food. In the poorer
parts of Lima ther? is a picaoteria every
few yards and each establishment has its
patrons among workmen employed in the
vicinity. There are many varieties of
picantes, each having a distinct name; but
every one of them is red hot with peppers.

THE DYKES OF HOLLAND.
Should They Spring a Leak Terrible Besolts
Wonld Follow.
A certain zealous dame is said to have
once attempted to' sweep the ocean away
with a broom. The Dutch have been
wiser than this. They are sldw
and- delicate people. Desperation may
use brooms, but deliberation prefers
clay and solid masonry. So, slow
ly and deliberately, the dykes, those
great hill-like walls of cement' and stone,
have risen to breast the buffeting waves.
And the funny part of it is they are so
skilfully slanted and waved on the outside
with flat stones that the efforts of the
thutuping waves to beat them down only
make them all the firmer!
Those Holland dykes are among the won
ders of the world. I cannot say for how
many miles they stretch along thecoast and
throughout the interior, writes Mary Mapes
Dodge in St. Nicholas, but you may be sure
that wherever a dyke is necessary to keep
back the encroaching waters there it is.
Otherwise nothing would be there, at least
nothing in the lorm of land; nothing but a
fearful illustration of the law of hydrosta
tics water always seeks its level.
Sometimes the dykes, however carefully
built, will "spring a leak," and if not at
tended to at once, terrible results are sure to
ifojlnw. In thieatened places guards are
stationed at intervals, and a steady watch is
kept up ni;ht and day. At the first sig
nal of danger every Dutchman within hear
ing of the startling bell is ready to rush to
the rescue. When the weak spot is discov
ered, what do you think is used to meet the
emergency? What but straw; everywhere
else considered the most helpless of all
thlnes in water 1 Yet straw, in the hands of
the Ddtch, hai a will of its own. Woven
into huge mats, and securely pressed against
the embankment, it defies even a rushing
tide eager to sweep over the country.
These dykes form almost tbe only per
fectly dry land to be seen from the ocean
side. They are high and wide with fine
carriage roads on top, sometimes lined
with buildings and trees. ( Lying on
one side of them and nearly on a
level with the edge is the sea,
lake, canal or river, as the case may be; on
the other the flat fields stretching damply
along at their base, so that cottage roo's
sometimes are lower than tbe shining line
of the water. Frogs squatting on the shore
can take quite a bird's-eye view of the land
scape; and little fish wriggle their tails
higher than the tops of the willows near by.
Horses look complacently down upon the
bell towers; and men in skiff and canal
boats sometimes know when they are passing
their friend Dirk's cottage- onty by , seeing
the smoke from tbe chimney; or perhaps by
the cartwheel that he has perched upoq tne
peak of its overhanging thatched roof, in the
hope that some stork will build her nest
there, and so bring good luck.

THE VEGETABLE DIET
It Is Belter From tbe Standpoints of
Health and Economy.
E0PULAE ERRORS ABODT MEAT.
About Two-Fifths of the World's Popula
tion Abjure Flesb.
THE AEGD1ILSTS FOR AND AGAINST
rWKTTTEX TOB THZ DISFATCB.1
Of modern vegetarians, the greater part are
such Irom religious "conviction; as witness
the immense body of Orientals, embracing
Brahmins', Buddhists, -and others, number
ing in all at least some 800,000,000. Vege
tarians from racial habit, and those who are
such per force.or from principles of ecopomy,
come next in number. The scientific vege
tarian, and the vegetarian from esthetic and
humane principles, close the list. All told,
probablr two-fifths ofthe world's population
are vegetarian in diet.
But,whatever the moving cause or motive
thereto, tbe results, other things being
equal, are substantially the same. Tbe
physically healthiest and strongest portions
of mankind are said to be found among these
voluntary or enforced followers of Pytha
gorean doctrine. The so often quoted
"beef-fed Briton," is no example to the con
trary, his sturdy physique being largely a
matter of inheritance from forefathers, who
rarely, if ever, used meat as an ordinary
article of diet. Before, however, entering
upon tbe rationale of tbe vegetarian argu
ment, we present that advocating the use oi
meat, and the vegetarian's dissent thereto,
POINTS OF THE MEAT EATERS.
Meat, it is claimed, is (1) more easily
digested, because of having already passed
through the process of digestion in the body
of the animal slain; and, (2) tha't because
j)f the immense amount of food consumed by
tne berbivora in particular, man, by eating
its flesb, gets his own in a more concen
trated and vitalizing form; (3) that meat is
richer in certain elements of physical force,
noticeably and superlatively, nerve and
motor force; (4) that it has at least two nu
tritive elements not to be found elsewhere
viz., gelatine and chondrine; (5) that meat
has valuable stimulent and tonic properties
pecular to itsel'.
Tne first argument the vegetarian contro
verts, claiming that the latest analytical
and experimental chemistry does not sup
port it. Scientifically prepared tables, the
result of experiment on man himself, show
that taken as a whole, a vesetarian diet is
actually easier to dispose of than an animal
one. But even the plant world must needs
digest its formative elements before it can
appropriate them, and the vegetarian insisU
that "that which plant and animal have
once digested and assimilated, at once com
mence to harden back again in the human
system and that for man to be in any appre
ciable degree benefitted by the process that
takes place in the animal's interior, he
should be able to appropriate its provender
while in its chyle state." Take it one way
or the other, then, the argument in question
has no actual foundation to stand on what
ever. ANIMALS DON'T STORE FOOD.
The second cUim is also sturdily ques
tioned. Granted that the herbivora con
sume nn immense amount of food, it is food
of that kindrbest suited to their own pe
culiar needs. Man's natural diet, we repeat,
is fruits, grains and vegeatables; and these,
the herbivora are not, as a, general thing,
disposedfor able to get as ordinary articles of
diet. The food elements, therefore, that
man derives from their flesb are not particu
larly snited to his own system. The vege
tarian, however, denies that tiiere is any
such concentration . of food elements
in the flesh of. 'animals. Tbey eat
for the same purpose that we do
that is, to support life and use up their
vital forces in the same manneralso. That
which goes to the formation of fat and fiber
is then but the residuum and the coarser
and least nourishing of tbe elements con
sumed. Couple this with the fact that these
coarser animal elements are not particularly
rich in the substances best suited to man,
and the force ot this especial argument also
becomes almost nil.
The claim that meit is richer in certain
elements of force than a vegetable or fruit
diet, has also little if any weight from tbe
vegetarian point of view. Tables prepared
by Fresenlus, Pavy. Letheby, Church,
-Wolff, Knoppand others, show conclusively
that the plant and vegetable world has all
the nutritive elements present in animal
tissue, and has then rather
THE MORE ADUNDANTLT.
The argument to the contrary is based
chiefly upon an error made by Leibig.
Food e'ements are classed as nitrogenous or
non-nitrogenous, and it was the German sci
entist's opinion that tbe former contributed
.almost exclusively to growth and nntrition
ana to tne production oi muscular and ner
vous force, while the latter served only as
fabricants of heat and tat. As meat is rich
in nitrogenous substances, the misconcep
tion concerning itj nutntiue value is, there
fore, hardly a matter of surprise. It is now
known to be almost exactly tbe contrary,
and that the production of nerve and motor
force is almost entirely due to the oxidation
of the non-nitrogenous substances, the more
special task of the nitrogenous being that
"of giving birth to the substances that make
part ofthe animal organism itself."
Now, the plant and vegetable world is
particularly rich in those non-nitrogenous
substances, furnishing, morever, a whole
class of which there is hardly a trace in
healthy animal tissue. We refer to the
carbo-hydrates or sugary bodies, to the oxi
dation'of which Is principally due the evo
lution of vital heat and energy.
OF DISPUTED VALUE.
As to the two elements,gelatine and ebon
Hue, their nutritive value has been greatly
disputed-. the latest opinions beincr
that they serve to some slight extent to cover
proteid waste. Mineral salts and phosphites
are also found -in sufficient quantities in
grains, fruits and vegetables fruits, more
over, yielding tbe acids, which form so im
portant a part in our diet. So far, there
fore, from being deficient in this respect, the
vegetarian menu may be made especially
rich and nourishing.
'That meat has stimulant and tonic proper
ties peculiar trf itself, is true in much the
same way as the like arsument holds good
with regard to alcohol. It is a stimulant of
the thermal force consuming kind, kindling
up a temporary overplusof heat and euergy,
to be ufterwurd followed by commensurate
languor and depression. Actual intoxica
tion has been known to follow flesh eating
by those not habituated to its u;e. Exces
sive meat eaters are also apt to be pugnaci
ous, irritable and quarrelsome, a fact due to
this over stimulating property of its ele
ments. We recognize the principle involved
when we feed our house dogs raw meat to
make tbem alert and savaze. As a matter
of fact, however, all food is or should be
stimulant, the desideratum being a healthy
equipoise of contrasting chemical forces, to,'
ne brought aoout Dy right (.election in the
matter of food an equipoise most perfectly
attained, it is claimed, by the use ot a vege
tarian diet,
A POISON IN THE MEAT.
Assuming the aggressive, the vegetarian
points to the tact tnat flesh food contains
about 3 per cent of extractive matter, i. e.,
matter which would have been eliminated
from the animal had its life been prolonged.
As many of these extractives are extremely
poisonous,. und as our own systems are also
more or less similarly burdened, "any addi
tion from outside sources is, of course, an
added eviL There are also certila elements
mall livings tissue that become toxic or
poisonous soon afler death the length of
time, depending much on the state of tbe
surrounding atmosphere and the ante
niorteu condition of the animal slain. For
this and other reasons, Prof. DnjarJla
Beaumetz.. of 'Paris! recommends, a vege-
tarian diet to alt troubled-wrttr chronic gas
tritis a consideration jrhich brings nsdown
to the vegetarian argument from the point
of sanitation and health.
That a large number of diseases are gen
erated or airgravate'd by the flesn-eating
habit is a generally conceded fact. Among
tbeseare more especially alcoholism, scrof
ula, tuberculous phthisis, gont, rheumatism,
nervous troubles, kidney and liver affec
tions, scurvy, etc. Fur all these dis
orders do the most advanced physicians now
recommend a vegetarian diet.
THE MENTAL EFFECTS.
Abstinence from meat, also in time, brings
about certain phys cal improvements, re
sulting in a finer "sense of taste, a clearer
brain and a more vigorous will. Flesh
eating has, moreover, been Known to ruin
naturally fine voices, and a recent writer in
London Truth goes so far as to say that a
"meat-eating country is a voiceless rouutry,
and that ev; n a habitual fish diet alters the
vocal organs, for the worst."
On economic principles, also, the. vegeta
rian produces argumeotsof weight. Briefly
stated, everything else being equal, the sav
ing in living expenses is almost quadrupled
by the exclusion of meat as an article of
flood. A given acreage of wheat will feed
ten times as many men as the same acreage
devoted to raising mutton. A single acre
given over to scientific gardening will quad
ruple its yield of fond. Supposing a uni
versal adoption of vegetarian diet, tbe sav
ing in land would be quite as great as that
of expense a saving coatributiag directly
to the advantage of labor, as more men
could find employment in an agricultural
country than in a pastoral. The great aim
of the London Vegetarian Society is largely
in this direction of land, labor and expense,
and, as a matter of fact, the vast majority of
Occidental vegetarians are such from prin
ciples of economy, rather than as a matter of
choice. That they are none the worse for
this involuntary abstinence from meat is
another fact quite as patent to the careful
observer of the hardy peasantry ot Europe.
THE TAKING OF LIFE.
Vegetarianism, from the humane stand
point, recognizes the sacreuness of life in
eeneral and in particular. Thev point also
to the suffering indirectly inflicted on ani
mals for this one cause, and the moral effects
produced on abettors and executioners in
'shambles and slaughter houses. The argu
ment ' that did we abandon flesh eating, the
world would speedily become overstocked
with animal life, is met with tbe other that
did we stop their farced breeding, nature
wonld soon right herselt in this direction.
Eggs, milk, butter and cheese are recog
nized as part of a reasonably vegetarian
diet, tbough tbe more rigorous exclude
tbem The intelligent vegetarian, more
over, urges no sudden transition Irom one
kind ot diet to the other, the.stu.ck of such a
change being physically injurious. He
recognizes, too,.the fact that lor many such
a change is, for reasons hereditary or con
stitutional, or from circumstance and en
vironment, practically impossible. All
he asks is a candid consideration of the sub
ject in all its bearings, and an honest effort,
when possible, to follow the higher and
more purely human way of diet.

A Woolly Poodle Made to Serve as a Snow
Plow By a Lazy Han.
New yorlc Times.
A frisky little dog that lives in a com
fortable home in Niuety-fi th street, west of
Ninth avenue, has a master with a resource
ful mind. The fact that the aforesaid mas
ter, when not too busy arranging invest
ments for his surplus cash, does a little
newspaper work, perhaps accounts for the
resourceful mind.. Late last Friday fore
noon this gentleman opened the front door
of his residence prepared for his customary
saunter to the elevated station. A snow
drift from two to three feet deep completely
covered his doorstep. His wife at his elbow
suggested that he go down stairs and get tbe
snow shovel, but he treated the suggestion
as a playful jest.
After contemplating the suon bank a few
seconds, lie whistled for his dog. An ani
mated bnndle of hair came tumbling into
the hallway. "Oolahl" spoke the master,
"do you want to go for a walk?" With a
quick bark of delight the little dog plunged
out of the door and rolled down the steps to
the sidewalk. Then, after a good deal of
kicking and rolling about, tbe animal re
gained his feet, and, obeying bis master's
call, scrambled up tbe steps and back into
the house. Again he was sent out and
called back with the same snow-scattering
result, and, as he seemed" to enjoy it, the act
was repeated for even a third time.
Thus was an ouen path down the steps
made for the man with the resourcefnl
mind. Oolah's "walk" was postponed until
a pleasanterday.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
A good one is told on George Kleeman, of
the County Engineer's office, son of old
"Nic." On last Tuesday morning at about
2 o'clock he got out of bed and raised a
regular war-whoop racket on the Indian
ghost dance style. He cried out at the top
of his voice: 'There's a man in the house:
shoot him."
"Nic," who sleeps in an- adjoining room,
was disturbed out of his fast slumbers and
his dreams of Bacchus by the ternffic noise,
and as soon as be heard the call for burglars
he rusbed for the top shelf of the closet,
where a "Bull-dog." saved from the Lot
Wright raid of political fame, was peace
fully reposing. He seized it and ran for the
bail. There he met his son, who smilingly
stopped him, say ins: "Papa, there's a man
in the house. I am 21 years old to-day."
"Nic" said nothing, but embraced bis oil
spring, and. slapping him on the shoulder,
he said: "You're a chip of tbe old block,
anyhow.
