MYSTERY OF A SKELETON.
A Yankee Youth, Whose 1t Was Thought to
Be, Turns Up in the Flesh.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
BIRMINGHAM, CONN, July 17.-When
Horace Barnes, of West Granville, Mass,
was ''hired out" by his father to work on
farm several months ago he rebelled.
Horace was young man, stout and strong,
and he thought if he worked he ought to
have the money he earned. Horace quietly
wrapped up his spare clothes in news
paper and left town. Nothing was heard
from him and his people had given him up.
A few weeks ago, while hunting in the
woods near West Grenville, skeleton was
found. The bones were those of O young
man about Horace Barnes size, and nearby
was hat and shoes. His father determined
in his own mind that Horace had committed
suicide, and the bones were decently in
tered.
Last week copy of the american Sentinel
found its way to West Granville. Among
the local bits of news was one concerning
Horace Barnes. Two men searched this
town and finally found Horace driving an
ice wagon. He acknowledged his identity
The owner of the skeleton has not been
found.

THE ECHO OF THE FLOOD.
Another Suit for Damages Brought Against
the South Fork Club.


the South Fork Club.
Lewis McMullen, attorney for Mrs. Nancy
W. Little, yesterday filed statement in
her suit against the South Fork Fishing
and Hunting Club of Pittsburg. Mrs.
Little, in behalt of herself and eight chill
dren, asks for $50, 900 damages for the death
of her husband, John A. Little, who was
lost in the Johnstown food. Mr.. Little
was travelling salesman, and at the time of
the disaster was a guest at the Hubert
Hotel, Johnstown.
The South Fork Club, it is charged, is re-
sponsible for the food by reason of the
negligent and unskillful manner in which
the dam at South Fork was constructed.
The sluice was not sufficient to allow the
water to flow through, and the dam was not
capable of holding back the great body of
water accumulated above it. The dam was
built in 1880.

DYsENTKRIc DISEASE ABoUNDs.
Many Cases Exist in the Two Cities and in
Williamsburg Due to the Grip.

The grip is responsible for many strange
visitations. In Williamsburg there are
many cases of dysentery that the physicians
say arise from the grip. Although at this
season dysenteric diseases are by no means
uncommon, it is noticeable that peculiar
form of the ailment is abroad now in many
parts of the two cities, and that they are
traceable directly to the disease that created
such sad havoc in this section last winter.
The disease is almost epidemic in Will
kinsburg, in spite of the fact that the
weather has been easy upon those who are
subject to this sort of trouble.

Food for Brain workers.

The intellectual worker needs plenty

culent vegetables. The proper diet for
all sedentary people is an early and
entire supply of digestible food, includ-
ing plenty Of cereals and fruit. A cup
of some warm drink should be taken
just before rising, or as soon as It can
be prepared and positively NO
work should be done until after break
fast As the digestive organs are
most active early in the day, q second
hearty but digestable meal can be eaten
at noon, II an hours rest intervenes
before continued labor or exercise.
The afternoon work should be light
and part OF the time passed out OF
doors. A light digestable dinner may
follow about nightfall, and the even
ing be devoted to recreation or social
relaxation, When any night work is
contemplated, food should be taken
about midnight and again at dawn

not sick spells, showing the need Of
fresh air and OF transplanting to the
seaside. Prepare for summer dresses

ideas that the European travel treat
ment would best suit your case. Begin
TO mulch your husband with kindness
and hattery. It may encourage the
growth Of his liberality.
When he is ripe for picking he should
have more fondling and be put into the

should be kept up until he begins to
drop big leaves from his checkbook.

for himself is churl, and it matters
not what he has. the true fountain OF
happiness In his soul is dried up. He
who lives for himself alone might as
well not live at all. In falling to do
good to others. he fails to receive
good himself, the very end OF his be-
ing is defeated, and his life Is rendered
a perfect failure. But every effort
that man puts forth to benefit others
has reflex influence on himself, and
enlarges the fountain Of happiness in
his own soul.

national Nick I'M On.

Most OF the nations of Europe have
nicknames. which willingly or un-
willingly, they have accepted. The
appropriateness OF some Of them Is
evident, but to explain the origin of
some others would be difficult. A
writer in Lippincott's Magazine has
collected some interesting facts on
this point.
Englishmen have submitted to the
name OF John Bull, as suited to the
national character. A Scotchman Is
Sandy; the Irishman derives his
name, Paddy, from his national
patron saint; while an ancient
nursery rhyme records the fact
Taffy was Welshman. English
sailors call the Frenchman, in con-
tempt Johnny Crapand; but In France
he is Jacques Bonhomme, or as
bourgeois, Monsieur Prudhomme.
Cousin Michel is the name by which
the German is known to the Conti-
mental nations. Mynheer Closh, an
abbreviation OF Nicholas, sums up the
Hollanders, who are often known
simply as the Mynheers, while the
Switzer rejoices in the name of Colin
TampOn.
Don Whiskerandos is almost
national nickname for the Spaniards,
dating from Elizabethan times. Ital.
ians are known rs Lazzaroni, and
Danes as Danskers.
