There need be no more trouble in regard to
excise cases, according to the figures given by the
special Grand Jury. The accumulation OF such
cases which the Jury has been wrestling with
appears to have been the result Of " lack Of
disposition or efficiency, or else a lack of time and
opportunity on the part Of the officers appointed
TO prosecute such violations of law" The Dis
trict-Attorney has more money and n larger
force this year than ever before and besides there
is an additional Judge; hence Mr.. Fellows will
have no such excuse as may have awaited with
his predecessor for pgcon-holng cases Of this

The action Of POlice-Justlce Welde In post

There is DO doubt of Mays guilt The
evidence against him is overwhelming. he

offensive manner and when policeman checked
him in his brutality he tried to murder Ito
officer But there seems TO be a conspiracy
on foot to delay action to bring him TO trial.
It was reported az the time Of his arrest that

of a well-to-do mechanic, whom she mar

the child had been called Frances The
latter also contained SIS rs gift to the in

Potency OF Water as a Diuretic.

The most powerful diuretic, according
to DR.. Brunton, is water-its action in
this respect, drank by healthy man,
being very marked, and 1t appears impos.
sible to explain its elimination by mere
increase in blood pressure, whether loca
or general; 1t has the power OF increasing
tissue change, and thus multiplying the
products of tissue waste which result from
it, but IL removes these waste products a.
fast as they are formed-and thus by Civ.
ing rise to increased appetite, provide,
fresh nutriment for the tissues, and acts as
a true tonic. In persons who are nccus
toned TO take too little water the products
of tissue waste may be forced faster than
they are removed, and, thus accommodating,
may give rise to disease. Many equity per
sons are accustomed 10 take little or no
water, except in the form of small cup
of tea or coffee daily, besides what they
get in the form of wine or beer. A large
tumbler of water drank every morning,
and especially with the addition of some
nitrate or carbonate orpotassium. will pre-
vent equity paroxysm.

A Valuable Caro-.

A costly convoy passed the other day
through Berlin, Germany. II consisted
of fifteen heavy iron trunks which were
carted from the depot at the eastern
boundary to the western limits OF the city
and there stored in cars bound for Pari,
and Amsterdam. At the latter place nearly
all the older Russian loans were made
and the interest on them is still being paid
there, The stock exchange OF Paris hav.
ing Of late been selected as broker for
floating the loans OF the Russian govern
ment it is of importance TO set as much
Russian gold rolling there as possible
For such reason the fifteen cases. weighing
about 2, 100 pounds and containing 5000,
600 of gold rubles. were sent westward
The population Of Russia is hardly ever
granted the pleasure Of seeing gold coins
They have to do their business on the de
preciated greenbacks Of the Imperia
treasury.

An Ideal Girl.

DO you know my ideal girl2 She Is sell
dom TO be met with, but nevertheless sac
exists She has a modest, girlish sort of a
way about her that Is very likely TO de
ceive, but TO those who know her well She
is the happiest, wittiest, brightest Of girls,
and every inch the true woman when
fairly aroused to action She may not be
prettest of girls, but when she gets fairly
started in conversation you feel as If your
very soul is being drawn through her bril-
liant eyes, and you become fully convinced
that there is something else to live FOR in
this world than simply your individual
self. When you are strong, and your way
is clear before you, she is girlish, full of
play and song; but when your heart has
been wounded, and the path before you is
dark and trcacherOus, you will find this
ideal girl OF mine both tender in her sym
pathies and strong in her womanhood-a
divine light to lead you safely through the
channels of darkness, and despair There
is one charm IN particular that | admire in
this ideal girl of mine, and that is she
never finds time to gossip over the defects
of her weaker sisters neither does she lind
any particular fascination in q man WHO
has, through cunning and strength, caused
The downfall and ruin Of some poor, weak
minded girl.

A CANNIBAL MANSION.
Description of Dining Hall in New
Guinea.

Guinea.
There are two large posts In front,
eighty feet high, on which rest the large
peaked shade, around which there hangs
a graceful fringe of young sago leaf. The
front is about thirty feet wide, and the
whole length of the house is 100 feet,
tapering gradually down to the back,
where IL Is small. Our compartment is
about twenty feet high and ten feet broad.
The front is common platform floored
with the outer skin of the sago palm and
kept beautifully clean. The whole is di-
vided into courts, with divisions of cocoa
nut leaves, nine feet high, on which hang
various figures, not at all good looking
From the top TO the cocoannt leaves hang
graceful curtains Of the young frond OF
the sage palm.
Standing on the platform in front and
looking down the whole length along the
passage or hall, with the various divisions
and their curtains it has wonderful effect
In each Of the courts are numerous skulls
Of men, women and children, crocodies
and bears, also many beasts of the casso-
wary. All are carved and many painted.
The human skulls are of those who have
been killed and eaten. The daintiest dish
here is man, .and it is considered that only
fools refuse and despise it. In the last
court there are the same kind of ornaments,
and then screen with curiously formed
things of wood and native cloth hanging
on it, also, sibis, (their only clothing)
belts, small bags and other things belong
ing 10 those murdered, which have been
presented 10 the gods.

belief in the healing power of Christian

LOVE-LETTERS.
Difference Between the Fictitious and the
Real-An Interesting study.

Reai-An Interesting study.
1t is not everybody who can write love
letter, perhaps because it is not every one
who knows how to love. People fancy
That they love when their hearts are not
touched in the least, and their vanity is
the only thing that is kindled. When
women are young their first lover Is reve
lation, and they often marry him from
sheer inability TO understand their own
emotions. The lovc-letters of such people
are apt to be flavorless they lack the true
aroma. The genuine lover loves to write
letters TO the adored one; he does not limit
himself to covering four pages; he has so
much to say that ii seems 10 him as If II
would take lifetime To say it all lie is
not Obliged TO study how to turn a pretty
compliment or phrase; it turns of itself.
ms if by inspiration; like the genuine poet,
it is merely the expression Of his
inmost being, the vibration of his
heartstrings. He does not write ii simply
because his sweetheart expects 1t of him;
he writes because he must; but If he Is only
lukewarm, and not certain but there are
others equally taking" who could ill his
heart quite as satisfactorily, his letters will
SHOW IL If her eyes are keen enought 10 see
and she is not blinded Ly Selfconceit.
There are many who can write more
gushingly than they can speak; not that
they have more time to consider their
words and weigh their thoughts, and not
that a lovc-letter need be gushing-gush is
always more or less questionable-but shy
people always find difficulty in express
Ing themselves at times, and the more in
love they are the more likely they are ito
write like an angel and talk like poor
Poll" The letter is like talking in the
dark; 1t says the eloquent things which the
lover would never dare to utter. Spoken
words one may IN measure forget, but the
written lines are always ours, a precious pos
session so long as a shred of the paper
holds together, something more tangible
and real The loveletter is no doubt com
mon enough; everybody writes it and
everybody receives it, but its theme Is
never tiresome; it has always perennial
interest, and the same old story reads like
a new one year in and year out, genera
lion after generation, like an immortal
idyl; but one must not fall into the mis-
take of believing that it is only youth to
whom il is dear. that youth alone inspires
it, although the first love-letter like first
love, has flavor more divine than any
other; what it lacks we are not quick TO
perceive-orthography is at discount we
are not too critical, nor are we experienced
enough to detect flaws; it is the best lit
erary production of the age, in our eyes.
