THE BRAD CURE,

How st. Louis Man Learned the Secret of
Health from tho Indians.
s'Do you see th6se large copper brads in

to The Man About Town Of the st. Louis

study was finally led to the conclusion that
the aches and pains to which civilized man

Now, I reasoned, if this was correct
the secret Of the Indians health

his whole body to the vitalizing in

while my i'll health was attributable to my
feet being insulated from these currents.

store the broken connection by inserting

encountered the other part of the COM

about eighteen, who was one of the Indian

A TRAMP WITH TEN THOUSAND.
His Philadelphia Uncle Leaves Him a
Legacy to SQuander.

Jesse Matlack, a well-to-do farmer living
about four miles from West Chester, Pa, few
nights ago was called to his door by a loud
knock. He answered the summons and found
two men there. who asked if there was a large
barn in the neighborhood in which tramps
slept. Mr.. Matack answered that his barn was
probably the one meant. The men said they
were looking for tramp named Jack Murphy
and asked permission to go to the barn to look
for him. Mr.. Matlack lighted lantern and
went with them. They went to the haymow
and after calling several times for Murphy a
ragged, misunderstanding fellow crawled out
from under the hay.
Are you Jack Murphy" asked one of the
men. He was. Then come along with us.
Your uncle in Philadelphia has died and left
you $4,000"
This announcement made Murphy open his
eyes to their widest extent and brought out of
the hay half dozen more tramps as ragged as
Jack himself. Jack went with the men, who
proved to be lawyers clerks. and true enough
got his $4,000. But he did not desert his COM
panions at Mr.. Matlack's barn. He roosts with
them as usual,

EMIN GOING BACK TO EGYPT.
Confident He Can Regain Control Of
His Province With Little Difficulty.

Emin Pasha will probably leave Zanzibar for
Egypt April 8. He does not intend to visit
Europe. Emin's great desire is to return to
his province on the upper Nile as soon as pos
sible. He told former official in the Egyptian
Soudan, who met him at Bsgamoyo about two
months ago, that he had no other wish than to
return to the upper Nile. He said he was con-
WINGED that with 200 armed men he could
return to Albert Nyanza, and fully reassert his
authority over his province. The Egyptian
soldiers who rebelled against him, and whom
Stanley left behind, had, in his opinion, very
little influence over the people, and he had no
doubt tho entire country would rally TO his sup
port.
Emin would like to visit Egypt, but he would
not accept post in the Egyptian service, un-
less IT was TO re-establish Egypt's authority
over the upper Nile. He fully intended to
live and die in tropical Africa He added that
the journey from Zanzibar TO Albert Nyanza
and back could be made without difficulty in
nine months and that SANKEY'S last journey
was no criterion, as, DESTROYS to make discov-
cries, he took an unnecessary length Of time
between Albert and Vistoria lakes.
