‘Meat in the Diet.
How much meat is in = a normal
diet? The answer to this question
is impossible of universal application.
In a matter of diet, as in almost ev-
erything else, man is idiosyncratic.
Some people naturally choose, nor-
mally, more meat and some less. The
same ‘is true of every other com-
{ ponent of the diet. Many people have
a repugnance to certain articles of
food, vegetable or animal. ‘Some peo-
ple, normally, eat a larger percentage
of meat than others. A stated
amount, therefore, can only be a gen-
eral one, applying to man as a whole
and not to any particular individual
When normal, man is left with the
choice of the diet, and, where all
forms of food are equally accessible,
it is surprising to see what uniform-
ity exists in the choice. While it is
true that there are great differences
in the dietaries of different nations,
so much
those of choice as of necessity. The
true comparison, therefore, would be
in the dietary of men in different na-
tions of practically independent
means who thus have an unrestricted
financial opportunity to gratify their
wants. Among this class of the com-
munity a remarkable degree of uni-
formity in the choice of diet is
found. A well-to-do man who takes
moderate exercise consumes about a
quarter of a pound of protein, .35 of
a pound of fat, and 1.1 pounds of
starch and sugar per day. By “mod-
erate exercise” I mean the man en-
gaged in moderate labor. Persons
of sedentary habits, of course, should
eat much less, but unfortunately they
do not all do so.—Dr. Harvey 'W.
Wiley in Collier's. :

"RAISING A LEGAT, POINT.
His Name? :
A ‘case of interest te ‘hiewspaper
men came up before Chief Justice
Meredith last month, when J. B. Mac-
Kenzie, a Toronto lawyer, entered an
action against the Toronto World and
George M. Lee, its Osgood Hall re-
porter,to obtain an injunction against
defendants restraining them from
omitting his name from reports of
cases in which he may be engaged as
counsel or solicitor.
Chief Justice Meredith took the
stand that the World published the:
report for the information and inter-
est of its readers;
long as it was in no particular incor-
that this report |
must necessarily be brief, but that so
rect and contained no reflection in
the nature of libel or improper state-
ment of fact, the World had a right
to publish what it pleased.
In the present case the plaintiff did
not claim that any incorrect state-
ment had been made or anything in
the nature of a libel published, but
merely that the report was not full
enough to suit him in that his name
and connection with the case had
been omitted from it. It really
amounted to a complaint that the
World had not given him the benefit
of advertising in connection with the
case, and this, his lordship claimed,
Mr. MacKenzie could not compel the
World to do.
ously that a contract at so much a
line be made to cover the situation.
Mr. MacKenzie claimed, however,
that the court had intérest right to
deal with the matter, and that every-
body should be placed upon the same
footing or the reports excluded. He
claimed that such an omission was an
injury to his calling, in that solicitors
from outside points would thus be
hindered from sending him retainers.
His lordship dismissed the application
for injunction, but Mr. MacKenzie in-
timated that the matter is not yet
closed.— Printer and Publisher.
The End of the World.
The scenes of dissipation that have
recently taken place among the Hun-
garian peasantry serve to remind one
He suggested humor-
of the old truism that human nature.
has not changed very greatly in a
thousand years. The Magyar laborers
were convinced that the end of the
world was at hand, and took the ar-
rival of the comet to be an augury of
the near approach of the catastrophe.
The parish priest, good, faithful man,
warned them to prepare themselves
by due penance and the proper relig-
ious exercises; but the pleasure-lov-
ing flock instead gave themselves
over to rioting and feasting. They
and their priest were soon disillu-,
sioned when the appointed day passed
without anything unusual occurring;
but their fright had exactly the same
effects as the universal belief that the
end of the world would come in the
year 1000. The chroniclers of those
times tells us that people gave them-
selves over to drunkenness and vice
rather than to religious exercises;
the contemplation of so awful a
catastrophe was apparently too much
for human nerves. At the same time
it has been observed that whenever
a sudden earthquake in tropical coun-
tries has convinced people that the
actual day eof judgment was ‘upon
them, illicit unions have been hastily
regularized and many a son has found
a father who never before acknowl-
edged him. Such, at least, has been
English experience in the East In-
dies, and the same was noticed in the
great earthquake during the Venezue-
lan revolution a century ago. = It ap-
pears that men must be convinced
that the disaster has actually arrived
before they will lay bare the inner-
most secrets of their hearts.—London

Conscience Makes Cowards.
A quiet, bashful sort of ‘a young
fellow was making a call on a Capitol
Hill girl one evening not so very long |
ago, when her father came into the
It
was about 9.30 o’clock. At the me-
ment the young man was standing
on a chair straightening a picture
over the piano. The girl had asked
him to fix it. As he turned, the old
gentleman, a gruff, stout fellow,
said:
“Young man, do you know what
time it is?”
The bashful youth got off the chair
nervously. Vos, sir,” he replied. ‘I
was just going.”
He went into the hall without any
delay and took his hat and coat. The
girl’s father followed him. As the
caller reached for the doorknob, the
knew what time it was.
“Yes, sir,” was the youth’s replr.
“Good night!” And he left without
waiting to put his coat on.
After the deor had closed the: old
gentleman turned to the girl.
“What’s the matter with that fel-
low?” he asked. “My watch ran
down this afternoon and I wanted him
to tell me the time, so that I could
set it.””—Denver Pest.
