"My wife.snd I are tryin hard
To live on healthful diet;
We read the food chart by the yard.
And run our kitchen by it;
We've banished from our bills of far
All that such guides condemn ;
True hygiene is all oar care.
As planned and taught by them.
For .breakfast, coffee is tabooed,
Hot cakes and e?gs forbidden,
And milk, since it is oft imbued .
With germs profuse, though hidden;
Bread is unwholesome-so is steak;
Submissive to our lot j
Oatmeal and graham gems we take.
And drink boiled water, hot
For dinner, soup will never do.
And oysters typhoid nourish ;
8alads, entrees and ices, too, -.
Are mere dy septic flourish;
Potatoes (by the last advice)
Are poisonous, we're told;
We eat rare meat, chopped fine, with
rice,
And drink boiled water, cold.
For supper some professors teach
'Tis best to go without it.
But since discretion's left to each,
We take our choice about it;
On chicken, wsffles, tea and cake,
We are forbid to feed ;
But gluten wafers, cocoa (weak,)
A ad prunes are. all we need.
It grieves us much our friends to view
Bo reckless in their diet ;
Our wholesome menu we pursue
And beg of them to try it;
But appetite's ungodly sway
Their nature so enthralls,
We cannot get a guest to stay
Within our heathful wall!

that the 126,530 men to be added to
the British army cannot be had with
out a resort to conscription in some
form. A similar state of affairs may
may be disclosed in the United States
before the new army of 100,000 re
gulars shall have been recruited.
W'thin the past two months, accord
ing to War Department .records,
only 5250 enlisted men have been
secured by the Federal recruiting
omces. At this rate a twelvemonth
will have elapsed before the 35,000

The physical standard of the service
is high, aud men who can measure
up to it may easily find more useful
and profitable employment than is
offered in the army rank and file.

BORN OF A GRUMBLE.!
A TOOTHSOME MOR8EL OF THE EARLY !
DAYS IN OHIO.
Vinegar Pie, and How it Was Made,
aad Hew It Came to Be Made, and'
How the Hu Who Tint Bit Into
It Described It to Hla Friends. ry
"When ono nnIer.stancls Jiow pie is the
glad epiphany of tbe soul's yearning- for.
beaut of living, as it were, the. bud tip
of a plant groping its way upward be
tween tbe doll, hard clods to sunlight,
and the air. he understands also how
some kinds of pie hare a story to tell a
pathetic story for those who can appre
ciate," says Harvey Sutherland in Ains
lee's. . ' : ' :'' ' ' .'
"In the early days of Ohio there was
a vinegar pic A paste was made of
flour and watery Enough vinegar was
added to give it a pleasant tartness, and
sugar was stirred in to suit the taste.
Theu this was used as a filling for the
top and bottom .crust. Smile if you can
at this poor effort, but bethink you who
it was that made it and where and why.
We may set the scene in a log cabin in
the wild woods of the Western Reserve
and people it with settlers from Connect
icut, an ambitious husband and his young
wife who hare left behind them the old
folks at home, knowing that they will
never look upon their faces more. They
hare come the long, long journey in their
covered wagon to the far west of Ohio
to seek a. home in the wilderness. The
Indians are but barely gone. The timber
wolves still howl nights while the young
mother hushes her babe to rest. In the
twilight bears snuffle at the doorsill of
the rude cabin. It was a sufficient shel
ter from the weather, bat no rag carpet
covered the puncheon floor to soothe the
eye .with its coloring, no pictures hnng
upon the mud chinked wall of logs.
There was no lack of food to eat The
virgin soil, never before turned by a
plowshare, brought forth riotously. Stand
ing at his door, the husband might kill
wild turkeys with-his rifle. There was
game in plenty, deer and squirrels, pos
sums, wild duck, wood pigeons and, once
in a long while, a feast of that most
highly prized of all meats, pork. Wild
berries grew all about, andhere and
there upsprang a tree planted bjJohnny
Appleseed, ragged, wild enthusiast that
he was, almost a legendary hero in his
beneficent resolve to scatter far and wide
over the new country the best fruit ever
God gave to man. There was plenty to
eat, but when at last the store of fruit
for winter was exhausted the soul sick
ened at the plenty of mere animal food.
" 'I wooah 'twas so't we could hev pie
luck them we use to git back hum,' sighs
the husband.
"'Land sakes, Uriah Kinney! 1 ain't
got one mortal thing I could make a pie
aout of,' retorts the wife.
" 'No, I s'pose not I ain't a-f aultin
ye. I was unly sayir- I woosh 'twas so't
we could hev, a pie luck them we used to
git back hum. Twould kind fo' seem
more luck livin.' r
"Then the wife falls to bitius the end
of her forefinger. She plans; she medi
tates. O woman of a thousand wbnder
ful inventions! Something has got to
give when thy brain throws its weight
against a problem! Result in this in
stance, a vinegar pie!
" 'Gosh. Polly, this is llckin good! ex
claims the husband, wiping his mouth
with one hand while he holds out the oth
er for a third piece of pie. (Crockery was
scarce in .those days.) Then he spreads
the news.
".'By darn,' says he to the next man he
meets, my Polly Ann mod a pie f me
day b'fore yistiddy was the all fired est
best pie I ever et.' .
' 'Sho! doubts the man that hears,
him. 'Can't git nup pie this time o ye'r.
Frut's all gin aout.'
" 'By darn, she med it anyhow.' And
he smacks his lips. 'Smartest woman I
ever see. Med it aout o' vinegar, she
did. Tell yeou, tetched the spot, it did.'
' 'I want to know, says the other man
admiringly. And he did. The recipe
was passed around, and vinegar pie
spread like wildfire to tbe L:;.r.hward, to
the people that call a pail a bucket and a
basin a pan and where they have a letter
r broad enough and fiat enough to roil
out pie crust on in case of an emergency.
Years have passed and with them the
memory of that dear soul that first dis
covered vinegar pie; yes, even viuegar it
self has passed away, too, save in the
recollections of the older people, so com
plete is tbe triumph of the self sealing
fruit can. I have used the name of Kin
ney, but that was because I thoneht it
sounded kind of Yankee, but I should
like to know her real name and where
she sleeps that I might stand beside that
weed grown hollow that was once a
mound above her, that I might read the
mossy epitaph on her leaning tombstone:
"A Faithful Friend, a Mother Dear.
A Loving Wife lies buried here.
"I should ; like to lay a posy on that
grave, a posy of old fashioned single
pinks and phlox and Sweet William, flow
ers that she knew and liked. I am sure
she would know of it and appreciate it,
though she would protest it wasn't worth
while making a fuss about. Yet I know
that somehow she would feel that the
hard times she had when they were all
down with the 'fever 'n' ager,' she and
Jerushy and Uriah chilling one day and
Adoniram and the twins chilling the next
day. and the cows got lost in the woods,
and nothing tasted good, they were all' so
poorly, and tbe house looked like di&trac-
tion because, seem like, she hadn't the
ambition to keep it picked no that some
how all that hard time was being made
up to tier now. 1 lust know she is in the
good place, not so much because she dis
covered the vinegar pie, though that is
much, but because I don't see how the
Good Man could ever have the heart to
turn away any woman that brought up a
family in Ohio away back in the 'airly
days." - - ,

Character.
A growing tree is not thinking of the
shadow it will cast. It is growing to
bear its fruit or furnish tbe timber of
its being. The shadow grows in conse-.
quence. And it is so with, an honest;
good life. The inspiration of it is not
the desire for others' applause or the
growth of personal influence, but the
wish to do the duty of the day because
it is duty. It is not by mere brains that
good, enduring influence is secured.
Character, which . inspires confidence,
wins respect and by the very laws of
life tells on others-this is the force
which a good man directs. But self con
ceit, personal vanity , and overconfidence
in oneself are not consistent -with this
character. Let there be unaffected mod
esty behind obvious power, and respect is
won, and respect implies influences of
the best kind. Weekly Bouquet.

WASHINGTON, ttareh 16. The cable
reports from Tien Tsin indicating that
a collision between the Baosian and
British forces is imminent, is not re
gard-din a serious light in the diplo
matic circles moat : concerned in tn
Msue involved. It .la said in tbese
quarters that it relates to comparative
ly minor concessions, -which are not
of a character to strain the relations
between the governments. 8o far,
the matter has not assumed an inter
national aspect in the sense of being
communicated to any of the embassies
here.
A cablegram was received at the
State Department today from Mr.
Rockhill, our special commissioner at
Pekin, asking for instructions upon
some of the points which have been
made during tbe negotiations relative
to the subjects of indemnity and pun

ever, made no reference to wLat is de

REVEfSUE REDUCTION ACT.
Becomes Operative Joly 1st Statement
Issaed by the Tressary Department.
Redenptloa ef Stamps.
By Tetetrravb to the Morning Star.
Washington, March " 16. The
Treasury officials are actively making
preparations to carry - into effect the
war revenue reduction act which
becomes operative on July 1st, 1901,
and with a view to giving the public
all information on tbe subject possible
at this time tne Internal revenue
oureau to-day issaed the following
statement:
"All documentary and proprietary
revenue stamps in the banks of pur
chaser? on and after July 1, 1901,
will be redeemed by the government
under the provisions of the act of
May 12, 190q.
"Such sUmps should be presented
for redemption by the owners thereof
m the collector of internal revenue
irom wnom tney were purenaseu. wna
will supply the applicant with neces
sary forms and instructions for the
preparation of bis claim, it is prob
able that regulations will be prepared
and Issued providing for the red em p
tion of imprinted documentary stamps
without requiring tbe destruction or
the checks or drafts on which they are
imprinted."
Tbe amount of stamps which will be
offered for redemption on and after
July 1st cannot be calculated with any
degree of accuracy, but the official
moat familiar with tbe. subject esti
mate that of the classes of sumps for
documents, checks, eta, from wbieb
tbe tax was entirely removed, the re
dempliona may aggregate $1,600 000
and possibly a little less. This eetunate
is based upon the assumption that tbe
public will have on band July 1st one
month's supply. A 7
Tbe arucies upon wnicb tbe tax was
reduced represent a very 'much larger
sum, but in those cases tbe re
demption will be in the nature oi
au exchange, although these stamps,
like tbe others, probably will be re
deemed in csb, but other stamps made
to conform to tbe reduction in the rate
or tax will be immediately Issued, ao
that tbe net loss to the government
will not be very large. On tbe basis
of users having a month's supply of
stamps on band on July 1st, 1901, it ia
estimated that the redemptlona will
approximate tbe following amoun a:
checks and drafts. $600,000: docu
meats. $400,000: proprietary. $400,000,
tobacco and ar uff. $3,500,000; cigars
