The despatches say that President Roosevelt has called a meeting of all the governors of the states and territories of the Union to be held in Washington, D. C., May 13. In addition to the governors that are asked to attend the meeting, Grover Cleveland, W. J. Bryan, James J. Hill, Andrew Carnegie, and John Mitchell are invited as special guests. The conference is to last three days, and will be presided over by President Roosevelt in person. The purpose of the meeting is not stated, but it has the distinction of being the first meeting of the kind in the history of the Republic.
Raisins as a Diet.—The Bureau of Forestry has an agent in California, Mr. Enos A. Mills by name, who recently lectured in New Orleans. Among other things he gave this bit of personal experience: "As a rule I walk thirty miles a day over the forest of which I have charge. Much of the time I have to climb mountains. Some of my trips last three weeks, and when I am about to start on one of them, I strap fifteen pounds of raisins to my back, and there are my provisions all put up and easily carried. I find that I need no other food. Part of the time I am as much as 14,000 feet above sea level, where there is much snow, and I find that the raisins agree as well with me at that altitude as they do at more normal levels. I have no regular meal hours. I merely chew raisins when I am hungry. I make a point of chewing them up fine, seeds and all." Where is the man who could make such a journey on 150 pounds of beefsteak?
