Bil Anthony was one'of the best examples that came out of the Spanish war of the man who can keep his head when others have lost theirs says Richard Harding Davis is livery body's Magazine. His coolly indifferent an nouncement to Sigsbee that the Maine was sinking, either showed a soul disciplined tq the condition of an au tomation, or a spirit which nothing could dismay. I once asked Captain Sigsbee if the popular version of Anthony's speech was correct. He said it was, but that Anthony did not salute him as was generally told, nor preface his speech with "J beg to re port, sir." We bumped into each other in the dark, Sigsbee said, and if he had saluted and spoken with that formality, he would have been think ing ot himself and of making an effect, and not cf his duty. What he really said and did is better without any of the advantages which came later. Cruelly Beat His Sister.

Prof. Byron Tyler, the raw-food ad vocate, is going to establish a number of restaurants in Chicago. "I do not expect to make any money out of these eating nlaces,"said the professor, "but hope the novelty of the meals will attract people who, after thev have learned the value of food as it is prepared by nature, will eat none but raw food in their own homes. Raw food is a sure cure for dyspepsia. My first restaurant is to be located in La Salle street near the board of trade. I chose that location because the men in that vicinitv, owing, to the exciting life they lead, usually are dyspeptic and nervous. I know that it l can persuade them to eat food ' they will forget they stomachs and nerves." Here is a dinner bill: Oysters on the Shell. Celery. Radishes. Olives. Clam Juice. Steak a la Tyler. Cold Slaw. Waldorf Salad.' Cheese. Nuts. Raisins. Pressed Wheat Crackers. Figs. Oranges. Nothing on this bill is Hnnknd. raw have The steak is prepared like Hamburger, be ing chopped fane and mixed with minced celery and onions. The crackers are made of cracked wheat, mixed with a little milk and pressed hard. One of Prof. Tyler's favorite dishes is made of cracked wheat, mixed with chopped almonds and walnuts. This may be eaten with cream, and in this form is either a breakfast food or a pudding. Eggs are broken into a cup, well beaten and seasoned to suit taste. Prof. Tyler eats no meat himself, but believes it is beneficial to some per sons. , Prof. Tyler was a physical wreck when he began eating raw food. Now he has robust health. His theory is that if a seed cannot grow after being boiled or baked it is valueless for food.. Another Cure for Consmption. Professor Weinzirt, of the university of New Mexico.conducting experiments under the university biological depart ment," has devolved what he pronounces a complete cure for consumption. By careful testing, he announces, he has determined that the transitory effects upon the blood corpuscles of a person passing from a lowe? to a higher alti tude are renewed by irequent changes of altitude. By occasional visits to the sea level, the system can be reinvigorated, even when the effects of the higher altitudes have been worn off. Traveling Light. Col. Jack China, of Kentucky, is in town.
