TIE SCHILLER. last strange
story about the Schiller is referred to
by the Globe-Democrat, OF ST. Louis,
as follows:
We have waited for some time, but in
vain. to hear contradiction of story
that, instead OF losing anything by the
wreck of the Schiller, the owners of
that vessel profted by the disaster to
the extent OF 1915, ,000 The story,
which we must accept as true in the alb
sence of contradiction, is that in the
consolidation of the two German steam
ship lines. the Schiller had been put in
at 1926, 900, and that was the price the
owners would have received for her had
she been delivered in safety at Ham
burg. But she was insured for her full
Lloyd's value, $500, 900, and by striking
on the Retarriere ledge, she entitled her
owner to that sum, which we have no
doubt they will accept without ostenta-
tiously calling public attention to it,
While this circumstance does not JUS
tify us in accusing the owners of the
Schiller of conniving at her destruction, it
explains the fatal carelessness with
they instructed her commander to drive
on IL spite of storm and fog, and subor-
dinate SAFETY to speed. There seems to
be no doubt that the unfortunate Cap
tain Thomas was only obeving orders
when he kept blindly urging his vessel
through the fog, and on a course which
was guess-work at best.

Don't EAT SAVE WHEN HUNGRy.-Dr.
Hall declares unhesitatingly that it is
wrong to eat without an appetite, for it
shows there is no gastric juice in the
stomach, and that nature does not need
food and not needing it, there being no
fluid. to receive and act upon it, it remains
there only to putrefy, the very thought
of which should be sufficient to deter any
man from eating without an appetite for
the remainder of his life. If a tonic is
taken to whet the appetite, it is q mis-
taken course, for its only result is to
cause one to eat more, when already an
amount has been eaten beyond what the
gastric juice is able to prepare. The OBJ
ject to be obtained is a larger supply of
gastric juice, not larger supply OF food;
and whatever fails to accomplish that
essential object fails to have any efficiency
towards the cure of dyspeptic diseases.
The formation of gastric juices is directly
proportioned to the wear and tear of the
system, which it is to be the means of
supplying, and this wear and tear can
only take place as the result of exercise.
The efficient remedy for dyspepsia is
workout door work-benefcial and
successful in direct proportion as it is
agreeable, interesting and profitable,

Turning to Lucy he continued

sure he will need itl'
Turning to Lucy he continued
unless you wish to stay, Miss Grey,
we had better join your father.
And placing her hand on his arm he
led her away.
Lucy was dreadfully agitated at the
probable consequences of Caroline's
foolish selfshness.
While he was endeavoring to reassure
her, a violent splash in the water and
piercing scream, told that what he pre-
dicted had happened.
Rushing back, they beheld the unfor-
tunate young man struggling i'll the
water.
Caroline was wringing her hands and
uttering scream after scream.
The river was deep, and the current
strong, and young Simpson was already
some distance off.
Philip saw at glance that he could
not swim, and hinging off his coat, he
plunged in to the rescue.
Lucy stood looking after Philip, her
eyes dilated and as white as marble,
while Caroline continued her frantic
outcry
Phillip, in the meantime, had clutched
the drowning man, ana was swimming
with him to the shore.
Caroline's cries had brought plenty of
assistance, and the two young men were
drawn from the water.
Philip was none the worse, excepting
for his wet clothes, but Simpson was
perfectly insensible.
He was carried as quickly as possible
to the farm where they had left the
horses
A medical man was soon on the spot,
and his opinion was awaited with the
greatest anxiety.
Young Simpson soon recovered his
senses, but was not allowed to leave the
farm that night, and Philip being ac-
cemmodated with a change of clothes,
the party prepared to return to town.
As Philip thought over the events of
the Gay, he could not sufficiently con
gratulate himself on his escape
During their journey home he took
no pains to conceal his feelings, and
show to the heartless Caroline that her
power over him was gone for ever.
Since that time the visits of Philip
Leigh to Mr.. Grey's house have been
mere frequent than ever, and there are
whispers that the picnic viii end
in a wedding, and the water-ilies be
changed for orange blossoms.
Philip Leigh viii be the happy bride
groom, but Caroline Somers will not be
the bride.

SUICIDE FOR LovE.-A tragic occur
renee in San Francisco was founded on
Inconsistency in love, but the usual con-
ditions were reversed. D. K. Meek, an
insurance agent, did not believe in for
mai marriage, but held that the mutual
consent of the parties was a sufficient
MAJ sial bond. He formed a union upon
that basis with Miss Laber, the daugh-
ter of his business partner, and during
two years they lived happily lytogether.
Not long ago the wife left their home
without warning of her intention, and
declared that as there had been no mar
sia.4,e ceremony and as she had ceased to
love her husband, she was not bound to
live with him any longer. Meek was
heart broken. He implored her to re-
turn, but she cody retorted that she
was not his wife. Ee consulted lawyers
as to the possibility of compelling her to
be faithful, but they told him that al
though the marriage was as binding as
any in the regard of the law, q wife
could not be forced to live with her
husband. He thereupon swallowed
laudanum, and the first dose being
pumped out by prosy doctor, took
another and died. He left his sentiments
IN letter, as follows Ct staked my
all on your promise to marry me, and 1
have lost. I do not charge you, my
dear, but forgive you with all my heart.
/ will be charitable with you, and think
you thought and believed it was for the
best. I only hope such is the case. Oh,
my darling, never do with another as
you have done with me. Never again
promise to marry a man unless you in
tend to do SO. Only think of me, who
loved you SO dearly, and would have
died, and do for your sake. 1 leave my
best wishes for your future welfare and
happiness. May God bless and protect
you and keep you from sin and harm"

OPIUM EATING.

Throughout the whole country. the
vice of opium eating is becoming fear
fully prevalent, particularly in those
sections which are supposed to be most
exempt from this and kindred social
scourges. In the crusades against the
liquor traffic and the spasmodic efforts
that are periodically made to promote
and advance the cause of temperance.
our phllanthropists appear entirely to
have lost sight of the monster evil that
IS growing up in our midst. and that is
year after year assuming svch terrible
and alarming proportions. Only the
medical faculty have the means of ascer-
tanning the extent to which the practice
prevails, and even they can only approx
innate the actual figures by a rough esti-
mate. 1t is estimated that of the whole
amount Of opium consumed i'll the United
States, only about one-third is EMPLOYED
In its various forms for medical purposes.
while it is maintained that not more. than
one-fifth is so used. What becomes of
tLe other four fifths ? This question is
fratlght with serious import. There is
not physician or druggist i'll the
country who is not conversant with more
than one case of individual ruin caused
by this insidious and almost ineradicable
habit. There is hardly a village in the
and that does not number among its pop
ulatlon its proportion OF opium eaters,
laudanum drinkers, or morphine con
sumers, and the sale of these articles is
not confined to the village drug store Or
the apothecary's shop, but even the gro
GERS have-a supply of the coveted stimu-
liant for their regular customers. The
familiar sign displayed in some shop
windows, eff you don't see what Won
want, ask for it, has for the initiated a
meaning that is we'll understood. Many
women OF fashion, and literary men,
become the slaves of opium and con-
corning the working classes many tale
OF woe and suffering, mental and physi-
cal, Is to be found in the medical records
of our great cities. Occasionally they
lind their way into the public journals,
but they fail to do more than elicit a
passing remark, while the great and
growing evil which threatens eventually
to r1val IN its proportions and the num-
Der of its victims the prevailing vice of
intemperanee, is hardly deemed worthy
of the slightest consideration at the
hands-of our so-called philanthropists.
Not few OF the inmates of our lunatic
asyluns have been deprived of their
reason by a long and excessive indulgence
In the use Of opium, for insanity is some
times the result, and the unhappy vic
tim finds only in death release from his
srtferlng5. Three hundred thousand
pounds OF opium, independent of the sup
ply used for medicine, is annually con
sumed in the United States compari-
son with China shows that we consume
more opium than the CelestiaIs in pro-
portion to our population. There is
certainly wide field presented here for
great movement of the benevolent
against the ruin wrought among thou
sands of our population by this terrible
vice.

A PETRFIED FOREST. T.-About midway
between two popular summer resorts in
California, Mark West Springs, Sononla
County, and Calistoga Springs, Napa
County, is to be found one of the uniuu-
est curiosities of this wonderful land.
1t is the celebrated petrifed forest, stu
ated In the heart of wild and mountain
GUS region. At a distance it appears like
q mass of fallen trees, and on approach
ing closely, broken sections of PROSTATE
pines with their stumps standing im sittt
look as if wind storm had suddenly
swept through the forest, snapped their
stems and thrown them to the ground,
Examining one of the stumps, the circles
indicating the annual growth may be
plainly counted, and the exact age OF the
tree determined. Passing on to q fallen
trunk, every knot end fssure IN the bark
is as nearly visible as though the wood
mans ak had felled the tree but yester-
day, while around, thickly strewfng the
ground, lie fragments-chips and broken
pieces of wood-evidently the work of
a wood cutter. But all are turned to
solid stone stems, stumps. slivers, and
sticks, all ring when struck. with a me-
talic sound. and are simply siicified rock.
The largest of these trees that has vet
been measured is IL feet in diameter.
Occasionally trunk has been split into
lengths of from to fleet, but the cracks
separating the sections are SO slight that
unless closely examined they would avoid
discovery. The general color of the pet
rifications is a greyish white, but there
IS single exception in o tree that has
the appearance and qualities of stone
coal. The proprietor of the forest de-
clares that it burns as well as the best
variety of coal. The Enclosures where
these curiosties lie is cleared-of under
brush, but contains many living speci-
mems of oak, pine, manzanita, madrona
and other trees peculiar to the vicinity.
