A Singular Band.

of the queerest things imaginable.
At the head marched an enormous
bull, from whose horns flashed forth
fire, while between them was seated a
little devil. Before the bull q boy
covered with bearskin, was seated
on horse with tail and ears cut of.
Then came the archangel Michael. in
brilliant costume and holding balance
in his hand. But a stranger sight
than these was chariot in which was

There was bear playing tho organ;

Probable Fate of the Great
Eastern,

Messrs. Henry Bath & Sons. of LIVER
pool, the owners of the Great Eastern.
apparently think that P. I. Rarnum
doesn't move quickly enough in his
contemplated purchase of the famous
steamship. A few weeks ago Barnum
announced that he had made the VEN
ders an offer such as they were not
likely to refuse. What the owners of
the ship consider the hest offer how
ever, is one from syndicate of Ital an
capitalists, who think they can use the
Great Eastern with profit in carrying
grain and other freight between the
ports of the Med .terranean.
The price originally named to Mr..
Barnum. $3.50. 600. is now considered
by the owners to be an inadequate one,
as the expenses of keeping the ship
afloat are very heavy and constantly
increasing. The firm of Bath & Sons
are div ded into two parties. one wsh-
ing TO sell out at fair profit. and the
other believing that more money will
be realized by breaking up The big
steamer. Their estimate of its value
for this purpose is $3.50, 900 gross, and
1915, 900 after paying all the expenses
Of breaking up. They have also re-
ceived over a dozen offers for the hull
after the ship has been 'gutted." and,
SO far as present indications go. this IS
likely to be the fate OF the biggest
steamship ever constructed.-Neao York

HOW HE ROBBED HIMSELF.

A Georgia Merchant Who Hides His
spare Money In His sleep.
Detective Bill Jones was at the play
last night, and between the acts told
how he had been amusing himself for
a few days past. He had just arrived
in the city from working up case in
one of the counties below Americas.
A merchant with pretty fair business
had no safe, and ne was in the habit of
hiding his money about in spots for
safe-keeping. Not long ago he awoke
one morning to find $195 gone. He
informed his neighbors that he had
been robbed. and 1t was suggested that
Detective Jones be sent for. The sug-
gestion was no sooner made than
adopted. Shortly after sending for
him a trampish. looking man turned up
In the neighborhood, and by all but the
merchant was eyed suspiciously. The
trampish-looking man was the detect
i've. He made thorough investiga-
ton and quietly drew his conclusions.
Calling up the merchant he told him
he had not been robbed. The merchant
was astounded, but the detective was
firm. Then the erchant said posi-
bly, he might have hidden the money
in his sleep, and the detective agreed
with him. After considerable talk be-

Mr.. Alsop and one of his men, John

rocks one morning after their sheep.

into basin in the solid rock; which
was about forty feet in diameter at the
top and was shaped exactly like the
upper half OF an houf-glass. He
thought he would 90 down into this
basin and see what it was like, when
he observed another inlet close by
which seemed to offer easier passage.
Jackson walked around the corner of
the rock, and brought up very sudden

Alsop happened to be close behind
him, and coming up at this juncture.

tom OF the basin and disappeared.
Being anxious to secure the hide of
the lion careful investigation was
made, and it was discovered that tho
bottom of the basin was hole about
twenty feet in diameter. opening into
cavity beneath. into which the beast
had tunbled. A rough ladder was con-
structed and Mr.. Alsop descended into
this curious cavern, where he met
sight that sairly paralyzed him for
moment. He found h mself in the

The "Tobacco Heart ),

OF the cases of heart disease rec emily
treated in the writer's room at the dis.
pensary. nine were diagnosticate as
functional disorders due to the exres-
sive use Of tobacco Ali the nine cases
occurred in young men between the
ages of IL and "a years
The tobacco was used In sill the
cases In the form OF chewing the
amount raging from bali pound to
one pound week. The habit Of chew
ing was begun early in life in all the
cases; in one case at the age Of s years;
the oldest age noted at VIII CHI chewing
was begun was IL years; the average
was 7 years.
The symptoms complained Of were
palpitation. pain and dyspnea Pal
pitaton was present In all the nine
cases, and was greatest Upon making
any exertion. Irregular action of the
heart at the time of the examination
was noted only in one case. Pain was
complained of Id seven cases, and al.
ways had its seat Immediately over the
heart or under the sternum- Dysnhea
was only complained of in three cases
and was not excessive. Hypertrophy
OF the heart, as evidenced By increased
area of cardiac dizziness. was noted in
two instances. In both cases the dull
ness extended to the right edge OF the
sternum. In the two cases in which
hypertrophy had occurred care was
taken to exclude any other cause than
tobacco. No murmurs were noted in
any of the nine cases.
Treatment consists in prescribing
total abstinence from the use Of tobac.
co. and in some cases, where this alone
did not suffice. the moderate use of
bromide Of potassium. Notwithstand-
ing the great length of time during
which tobacco had been used, and the
early age at which The use had been
commenced, this simple, common
sense treatment usually sufficed to give
entire relief after three or four weeks.
