If have been in the habit of eating a steak now and then or a chop or a piece of roast meat in cold weather, there is no reason for cutting them out of your menu simply because the weather has turned warm.

To achieve success we must cease to regard China merely as a market and begin to consider it a REGION for PERMANENT INVESTMENT. WE CANNOT HOPE TO SELL OUR GOODS BY 8TANWNG AT THE DOORS OF OUR WAREHOUSES. WE MUST GET CLOSER TO THE CHINESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE UNUSUALLY FRIENDLY TO WARD AMERICANS AS A RESULT OF OUR GENEROUS POLICY IN CHINESE AFFAIRS DURING RECENT YEARS. THE GOVERNMENT IS LIKEWISE CORDIAL, AND INVESTMENT OF AMERICAN CAPITAL IS DESIRED. The time must come when our financiers and business to promote American trade in China wilj regard 7 per cent in that empire as safe as 7 per cent here. It is futile to hope for orders for suggestion in the line of hot weather diet would be, I E A W A O W A N E A I second would be, O N A E A N A S I N O I E I N O W E A E I BELIEVE IN EATING WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOUR STOM ACH SEEMS TO CRAVE AND WHAT YOUR POCKET CAN BUY. In these days of battle for mere existence with so many it is, of course, silly to lay down any rules of diet whatever. Most of the people of this country are obliged to eat what they can get. those who have any choice, however, I would say, E O E A E I N E E I N A E A E I would not say, as some do, "Quit meat altogether" or "Live on vegetables" or "Subsist on fruits and nuts." I am no believer in fads and am no prohibitionist in food. Al this talk you hear occasionally about vegetables or fruits being a panacea for all the ills that human flesh is heir to makes me sick. THE HUMAN SYSTEM WAS BUILT FOR A MIXED DIET. THE AGES HAVE PROVED THAT MODERATION IN THE USE OF FOOD, AS IN THE USE OF ANY OTHER OF OUR BLESSINGS, IS BEST FOR MANKIND, SO WHY SHOULD WE PAY ANY ATTENTION TO ANY OF THE FADDISTS THAT OCCASIONALLY ARISE TO CLAIM AT TENTION SO SAPS HUMAN WILL POWER, HYPNOTIZE8 AND ENSLAVE8 A MAN, WRECKS AND RUIN8 PERSON- There no more degraded,creatures than the O A E E I S without either the driving power of motive or the rudder of purpose, who drift about the whirlpools of Wal street, Monte Carlo, the race tracks or other gambling centers. I is argued that gambling is harmful only in that it hurts the one who loses. But that is not the truth. Whe a man stakes his fortune upon some trivial chance his will has E I E A E A I A E E O N E O S O E E E I N and has thrown itself prone under the feet of the blind forces it was meant to dominate. There is no spectacle more degrading than a man with a W I in him hanging breathlessly upon the throw of dice, the dealing of cards, the running of a horse, the whirling of a wheel or the sway of a stock market.

THEIR LAZY CLUB. English Workmen Make Late Comers Pay For Tardiness. In the engineering shops of a cer tain English firm tbe workmen of a year or two ago originated what they called the Lazy club. It was entirely their own idea, which for obvious rea sons has received neither recognition nor financial support from the manage ment, but has been the most excellent means of reducing the number of late comers. Whenever a workman Is more than five minutes after time he finds tbe gate locked, and he is not allowed to enter until the half hour is up. This half hour is deducted from bis wages, but in addition he has also to pay to tbe treasurer of the Lazy club about 5 centt for coming late. If he Is late more than once or so during a week everybody is aware of the fact, and the second or third time he makes his appearance after starting time he is greeted with a terrific com bination of noises produced on any available material by bis fellow work men. At certain periods tbe accumulated funds of the Lazy club' are divided, not among those who have produced them, it should be noted, but among tbe entire staff equally. Thus the late workman is made to pay the early comers for his laziness. The last distribution was just prior to a "bean feast." and funds accumu lated during twelve months were dis tributed, amounting to over $1.76 a head.—System. A Pepper Duel. A certain literary and diplomatic friend of ours once took part in a pep per duel at a foreign restaurant He was provoked to tbe contention by the quantity of stimulating condiment that a stranger across tbe table in dulged in. The stranger sprinkled an unconscionable quantity of red pepper upon bis food and proceeded to devour it, to the wonder and admiration of onlookers. Thereupon with studied nonchalance the American swallowed an immense piece of cbili pepper. Then the stranger added more red pepper, then the American another larger slice, covered with cayenne, and so on, till it seemed as if both would ex plode, while tbe other diners looked on aghast, the American finally win ning out with a prodigious dose defy ing all emulation.—Century.

Buenos Alren, the capital of tbe Ar gentine Republic. Is in some respects tbe most cosmopolitan city iu tbe world. No ImiMirtant European nation but has contributed its capital and Its people to the upbuilding of this great metropolis. It also has the distinc tion of being tbe second city of Latin population in tbe world, being larger than tbe largest cities in Italy and Spain. There is perhaps no city which ex hibits a greater variety of pleasing contemporary styles of domestic ar chitecture. Tbe city council tries to encourage beautiful building by an nually offering a gold medal to the ar chitect who Is found to have planned the most attractive facade and by freeing from tbe building tax the building thus favored.

SWISS TRAMPS FEW. A Poor Place For the Man Who Doesn't Want to Work. 1 Switzerland is not a place for tramps, because tbe man out of employment and who makes no effort to find work is not tolerated for a moment in that country. The'district authorities will secure him a job at hard labor and little pay, and such an offer can be re fused only under the penalty of going to a penal workhouse. These Institu tions are under military discipline, the work severe, the wages a penny or threepence per day, and release Is granted only upon the advice of those in charge. No difficulty Is experienced in determining between beggars and unemployed, because all legitimate la borers have papers given them by the district in which they live containing information concerning the position they have held in every part of Switzerland are es tablished "relief in kind" stations for the exclusive use of respectable unem ployed. Only those, are admitted who have had regular work during the previous three months and have been ont of employment for at least five days. These men must be on the look out for work and accept any situation that Is offered, because the chronic loafer is soon detected,by tbe police and his papers are marked" so that he can never again seek refuge in a "sta tion."—Exchange. "Old Hickory." The following story Is told of how General Andrew Jackson got his title of "Old Hickory." Captain William Allen, who was a near neighbor of the general, messed with him during the Creek war. During the campaign the soldiers were moving rapidly to sur prise the Indians and were without tents. A cold March wind came on, mingled with sleet, which lasted for several days. General Jackson got a severe cold, but did not complain, as he tried to sleep In a muddy bottom among bis half frozen soldiers. Cap tain Allen and his brother, John, cut down a stout hickory tree, peeled off the bark and made a covering for the general, who was with difficulty per suaded to crawl under it. The next morning a drunken citizen entered the camp and, seeing the tent, kicked it over. As Jackson crawled from the ruins the toper cried: "Hello, Old Hick ory! Come out of your bark and jlne us in a drink."—Detroit News. The Retort Erudita. A famous scholar, whose hobby was the derivation of words, bad occasion to store his furniture while proceeding to the continent in quest of tbe origin of tbe term "juggins."

One friend who has speqt a long and useful life and looks good for an other half century expects his reward in heaven and meantime is a philos opher. He can talk on any subject under the sun, from "the flower of poesy" to "the precession of the equi noxes."

At one of the regattas of the Na tional Association of American Oars men during the early nineties James Pilkerron. for many years the cham pion sculler of America, was matched to row double against another team. He and bis mate were the champions, and the general belief was that they would win without effort But the night before the regatta public opinion suddenly and mysteriously changed. Mr. Pilkerron Tinew that this was not caused by any new development of strength in his opponent or any loss of skill on bis own part After making some quiet inquiries be discovered that there was talk of his rowing mate hav ing been bought up by the other side and of an arrangement to throw the race. He didn't say anything about bis sus picions, but when the two men were seated in the shell and were well out into tbe deep water he leaned over to his mate and said: "Look here, you blooming cutthroat! You've got to swim, drown or win this race! You know me!" He won. Would Bequeath Her Ears.

Dr. Woods Hutchinson In Success says that a craving for sweets is nature's call for the substance which is "a full blown member of tbe great trinity of nutrient materials, sug ar (carbohydrate), meat (protein) and fat. Sugar is wood, coal, gasoline for the muscle engine. Every time the tiny engine gives one of its rhythmical explosions-that Is to say, when a mus cle contracts—a certain ariunrar^of sug ar is burned up. It is fortunate for people whom a mistaken conscience deprives of sweets that the human body can manufacture sugar out of many foods, out of meat milk, vege tables and grains otherwise the body would go Into the desperate business of manufacturing sugar out of its own tissues, which is precisely what dia betic's did in tbe days when this dis ease was supposed to be due to too much sugar in the food and physicians tried to cure it by cutting sweets and sweetmakers out of tbe patient's diet Shakespeare on Baseball.
