II this PLAZA is adopted it will lessen in
finitely much of the hardship of journey
and keep the mind and body in a strong
and active condition. 1t will also do much
to prevent the aching and swelling of the
legs which are so often complained of after
a long days confinement in the cars.
Breaking the fast often in this way is
also preventive of indigestion, from which
travellers of long distances are frequent
sufferers especially in summer. Often.
times they 60 much longer without food
than they ought, and in consequence tie
stomach becomes inactive and partially
paralyzed. When the stopping place is
reached, being half famished, they eat at
once and hulriedly. OF course full meal
on stomach in this condition, if it is not
vomited, remains for a long time undi-
gested. If a long period of fasting has
been unavoidable travellers should not eGt
heartily wEei they reach their stopping
places but. saould take something very
light, as SOU. eggs, little fruit, bread and
coffee. and make up for their denial at the
next meal. -0oston Herald.

Whether the theory OF the explosion of
nitrogen in the brain substance as the
cause of the epileptic seizure be true or
not, certain it is, according to John Fer
guson, that the malady is aggravated in
patients subjected to heterogeneous diet.
This fact seems to have been confirmed b,
clinical experience and actual eXperimel
tation. Ferguson, therefore, acting on the
strength of such Il fact has subjected his
epileptics to strict vegetable diet, and has
even dispensed with the use Of drugs. This
method has given, in his hands, excellent
results, especially in well marked cases.
In these cases a nonnitrogenous vegetable
diet alone has rendered better service than
the bromides without restriction in diet.

An Eccentric Mans Funeral.

Uncle Jared Wharton, an eccentric char
acter Of Forks township, died at the age of
ninety-one years. He hated music, and he
staid in church only while the sermon
was being preached, because, he said, the
singing irritated him. Several years ago
the congregation bought an organ, and af
ter that he never entered the church The
old man had been toothless for forty odd
years, and whenever his friends urged him
to buy some artificial teeth for himself he
declared that the Lord would cause natural
teeth to grow in his mouth before he died
In the summer time Uncle Jared went
about his place barefooted. When it rained
he visited the neighbors, and us he plodded
along the muddy road from house to house.
he had his trousers rolled to his knees and
an old cotton umbrella over his head He
seldom wore a hat in hot weather, and his
white hair was strong and thick when he
died. Many Years ago the old man made n
coffin for himself out of Pinch white oak
planks. The handles were made of horse
shoes that had been worn by mare of
which lie was very fond The gentle beast
was killed by a stroke of lightning, and
the old man buried her under tree where
she had fallen. He desired to have her
shoes buried with him, and so he nailed
them to his heavy coffin.
A few months ago Mr.. Wharton lined
his coffin with fox skins, the sly animals
from which they came having been shot
by himself He often expressed wish
that a bearskin robe belonging to him
should be placed under his head in the
rough oak box, and that his own sons
should act us bearers. Some of the old
mans relatives advised the sons to get
decent coffin, but their advice was not
taken Every wish of the aged dead man
was carried out to the letter, and on
beautiful afternoon last week the eccentric
nonogenarian was laid to rest in his oaken
casket.-Scranton Republican

FIGHTING WITH DYNAMITE.
A Louisville Millionaire Land Owner
Battling with Farmers

battling with Farmers.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. ia roadway
fight on the outskirts of the city which
has been in progress for a week, reached
a crisis Friday morning, dynamite being
employed by one of the opposing fac
tions. About year ago the city of
Louisville opened up a new boulevard in
the southern part of the city, obtaining
the right of way for a portion Of it from
E. V. Thompson, millionaire land
owner. The consideration was that the
city should fill up large pond adjoin-
ing the road belonging to Thompson.
The city did not fulfill its contract and
the millionaire retaliated by blowing sew
eral trenches III the boulevard making
it impossible to the farmers who came
to the city by that thoroughfare. The
latter then took up the fight and for sew
eral days they have been filling ND the
bitches dug by Thompson. The latter
employed force of twenty men and us
soon as the farmers filled up one trench
in the road he would dig another.
Numerous threats and demonstrations
have been made by the farmers, but no
violence was attempted until Friday
morning about 1 o'clock an explosion
took place in that neighborhood, and an
investigation showed that the farmers
had blown up Thompson's private road,
his fences and an outbuilding, the de
struction stopping only at the house in
which he lived. The farmers armed
with shotgCns, are now patrolling the
roadway, and as Thompson is very OBJ
stinate and determined man, further trou-
bic is expected. The city has 50 far refus-
ed to interfere.
