1t has been an old wives notion from
way back that certain kinds of food must
be avoided because they tend to produce
certain kinds of disease. This notion has
been fostered by alleged physicians who
publish health journals, and are always
laying down rules about living which, if
any one undertook to follow literally and
scrupulously, would make life a burden
from the cradle to the grave. Some
years ago DR.. Dio Lewis, who was re-
garded as somewhat of a health expert,
announced that tomatoes were unhealthy,
were the cause of cancer, loosened and
destroyed the teeth, etc. For generations
boys and girls had been warned not to
eat so much butter OF their faces would
break out with .'butter Sores" 1t is an
old time tradition that buckwheat cakes
are productive of skin diseases, and the
Scotch are said to be cursed with the itch
because they eat so much oatmeal.
DR.. James C. White, professor of der
matology in Harvard university, in a re-
cent article on %cutaneous diseases, pricks
some of these annoying traditional bub-
bles. He says that uncooked butter is
perfectly harmless food 30 far as the skin
is concerned, and it is difficult to con-
ceive how any one could have thought
otherwise, unless, possibly, the use
of bad butter in food otherwise indi-
gestible may have disturbed the stomach
and produced impure blood. Buckwheat
cakes do not produce cutaneous diseases,
unless improperly cooked and eaten hot
with too much syrup, they upset the
digestion. Oatmeal is perfectly harm
less food, and the idea that tomatoes
cause lancer is ridiculous. DR.. White
says that the eating of fruits, nuts and
fish may lead to irritation of the skin in
certain individuals, but this arises from
some peculiar to the individual.
The notion that certain kinds of food are
detrimental to the complexion is a false
one. A good digestion and a healthy
appetite will take care of the skin, and
it matters little what one eats, if the
stomach is allowed to do its work prop
erly and furnish good material for pure
blood. Springfield Union.

CHAPTER III.

Great Gawd, what's being done about
the escape?" anxiously inquired a heavy
taxpayer, as he leaned with much emo
ton against a hitching post.
Haven't you heard The news2" in
quired another taxpayer who had Just
mingled with this particular coterie.
NO replied the first with an inter-
rogativc infection in his voice.
why, the editor of the little Erening
Bladder has volunteered his services for
the capture of Mccoy"
"Horoar," yelled the man as he swung
his hands in a perfect ecstacy of delight.
1--WE are saved, we are saved"
IF Johnson goes along the party can
never lose the SCENT" interjected a medi-
tative looking man in the outskirts of the
crowd.
Lets soap not" remarked a com
panion as he fell dead.
The joyful tidings spread rapidly and an
hour later the streets were deserted except
by patrols. Everybody lad retired to
peaceful slumber in the sublime conf
dence that while they might mourn the
temporary loss of the flaming editorial
genius he would rctu ere long with
McCoy's scalp dangling from his fetlock.

Preservation of Severed DicIts.

There have been published within a
year some half dozen cases of digits sew
cred and afterward reunited. That there
nave been some failures counts for moth
ing. There have certainly been no re-
ports of any unpleasant results following
the attempt. The public, too, are begin
ming to realize that the useful little mem
Der is sometimes needlessly sacrificed.
Another case can be added to those
already published, which presents one
unusual feature-the long time that
elapsed before the severed end was adj
justed to the stump. A boy, while
splitting wood, cut off part of his right
thumb. 1t dropped to the ground, and
he ran into the house. The mother
hunted up the father, who came to the
barn, harnessed the horse, wrapped the
piece of thumb and the stump up in a
rag and drove nearly three miles to the
doctor. Fully an hour and a half elapsed
before l saw him. l removed the band
age and found the thumb lying loosely in
the bandage, and covered with sand and
dirt. l washed it off and secured it to
the stump. 1t united promptly, and two
years afterward it would have been hard
to tell which thumb had been injured

The gardens of Economy are one of its
most pleasing features. They are an in
dex to the peoples Shady, retired, full
of old fashioned flowers and plants, they
are very un-American. One feels that
there are shadows in them not cast by
trees, shadows born of a peculiar life.
Every inch of ground is cultivated. Such
flowers and fruits are seldom seen. There
are golden ounces hanging over the
fences, within easy reach; there are
SeckeI pear trees bending down with de-
licious fruit; there are peaches and plums
ready to pluck, and grapes that make
ones mouth water. Hollyhocks tlaunt
between the pickets, sweet peas perfume
the air, and nearly every garden is ablaze
with phlox.
'Do you like howers2' we ask of
August.
'Truly," he answers; "und cabhagesl"
This remark will illustrate the mingling
of the esthetic and practical that prevails
in Economy. There are cabbages grow
ing in the church yard.-H. d. Mason in
American Magazine.

CHAPTER ii.


THE OCCASION AND THE MAN.
People focked in crowds to the Jail.
Stern proved officials moved noiseiessly
through the throng. A tall, lean man
paced the sheriff. Office excitedly giving
orders. Telegraph messengers dashed in
and out; crowds thronged the corridors
and eagerly discussed the situation. Ever
and anon men dashed up on horseback to
the entrance and dismounting disappeared
into the sheriff. office. Guns began to
appear, and rifles and six shooters and
muskets. Volunteers to take up the
deadly pursuit came in rapidly. Every
passing minute served to intensity the ex-
element. The crowds had sweIled to
throngs, who packed the approaches, the
corridors and offices like sardines in a box.
Suddenly the babel of voices was hushed
as if by magic, and the multitudes in
stinctiyely opened up a lane to admit the
passage of a single individual. He was
arrayed in all the dread paraphernalia of
devastating war. His coat was opened at
the breast, apparently to give his heaving
bosom a fair show. Two belts studded
with cartridges were strapped about his
person. On either side within ready
reach, was the butt end of a murderous
looking Colts revolver. On the off side,
the side ornamented by the boot, a buck
handled hunters knife was to be seen.
He carried a rifle on his shoulder.
But what struck terror to the souls Of
even stout hearted men was not simply
these e%xtraneous evidences of a sanguina-
ry civilization, but the Eye of the new
conner.
To be strictly accurate, both eyes did
the business.
There was an intangible something in
the hard steely ~glinting of those azure
orbs which caused men accustomed to
iasarnage to shndder, for they foretold of

five Hundred Tons OF Pills n Year.
''There are eleven and one-half tons of
postage stamps sold at the New York
post Office every year" remarked a man
ufacturing chemist to a reporter the
other morning. Now guess how many
ton of pills are made in this country
every year"
"What have postage stamps to do with
pills2"
Nothing whatever, a v that each is
useful in its way. l only cited the post
office vend to give you an idea of the
great weight of small things when con-
sidered in bulk. Give it up? Well, as
nearly as can be figured they will amount
to over fifty-two tons n year. A ton a
week is a fair estimate. In England
alone there are 1000, 600, 900 consumed
every year. That reduced to tons would
make about forty. How many are used
in other countries it would be hard to
say, but the total estimate would not
come far from 450 tom Say 500 tons
are used a year by the entire world. The
habit of pill taking is ancient. 1t is the
most convenient form for carrying and
taking, and is the most popular.
Formerly they were made by hand. Now
they are produced by machinery. There
are a few manufacturers who make
1000, 900 pills a week. Big business,
isn't ita'-New York Mail and Express.

majestically into the sheriffs office and
disappeared from view.
"Who is that MANI" asked, in an awe,
stricken whisper, an individual who was
evidently a stranger in the city.

lie is?' inquired a gentleman at his side.

THE PURSUIT OF rnE OUTLAW.
CHAPTER /.


THE NEWS SPREAD BROADCAST.
Lengthening shadows had Just begun
to envolop the city in their gloomy folds
one evening last fall when a fearful Rumor
began to spread like wildire. Unlike
most rumors this particular Rumor was
very definite. 1t waste the effect that
four prisoners confined in the county Jail
had sawed their way through the steel
cages, climbed through a ventilator to the
roof OF the jail and then disappeared from
view as though by magic.
In a gilded saloon Of the city a gentle
man in a white apron stood behind a bar
ladling out beer to an expectant crowd.
In a remote corner, like a lonely Lara,
stood a solitary individual. His attention
seemed to be Mechanically divided be
tween the beer glass i'll his hand and the
free lunch spread out before him with
reckless prodigality. The man thus mod
esty, but industriously, engaged is the
Hero of this little story.
He was neither young nor old in ap-
pearance. His head was covered with
curling locks, dark as a ravens wing, and
fecked with the subsoil Indigenous to
Wyoming Territory. His complexion
was what might be called murky-black
and tan, so to speak-relieved by a silky
moustache to which remnants of his re.
past adhered with close affection. For
greater comfort apparently he Wore one
boot and one shoe. Around and about
the gentleman foated an Aroma, some
thing less intangible than the aureola
which crowns n saint, but adhesive as
a porous plaster.
Mccoy has escaped" excitcdly yelled
a man as he burst through the swing
doors of the saloon. "McCoy and three
others have escaped from the Jail.
Gimme some beer.
"Whad's that?" shrieked the man at
the lunch counter prickIng up his ears
aud surreptitiously thrusting a solled
wristband farther ur his coat sleeve.
"WHAD's thar he repeated with the
air of a man on whom n crushing calam-
ity had just fallen.
Mccoy and three other prisoners
have broke out of JAIL said the first
individual as he turned around in some
alarm.
Great Jehosaphat, can this be true?"
yelled the patron of the lunch counter,
as he wildly cIutched his dishevcled locks
and removed thCrcirom a bunch Of lead
pencils.
Alas alas Alonzo," said the first
speaker ironically, "methinks it is but too
true"
"Lemme go, lemmn GO" irantically
exclaimed the man with the Aroma, my
country calls me"
well guess there are no strings tied
to you, suggested a bystander.
Without another word the excited man
pulled from his pocket a note book which
measured three feet by two and a half in
dimensions and weighed four pounds.
With his eyes set in a stony stare and a
look of c~astiron determination marking
the lines of his mouth, he stepped forth
into the evening air bent upon his deadly
mission.
