A Biloxi Kick.

The General Assembly Of Alabama has re-
Gently INDUCED itself in amost unique piece OF
legislation on the subject of oysters. We
venture to say that of all the absurd and i'm
practicable laws on the subject OF oysters
this IS the most peculiar and remarkable.
The author of the bill has so rolled mp MS
ideas in words tina. ii j. with great difficulty
one gets glimpse of what is intended. The
legislative mind was wrapped in fog dense
rs ever settled down on the sound. but amos,
its density one clear idea Is expressed ana tha'
j. that no oysters are TO be allowed 70 go
out of the State without being shelled; eN-
cept for a period of thirty days IN ana ABOUT
Christmas times when Alabama opens '9
valves and permits the outside world 70 tax a
few on the half shell. for all the rest OF tue
time the outside could buy Alabama oysters
OF ten cents a barrel if the shell was lett 10 roI
on Alabama soil. II may be that Alabama 50"
requires shells for fertilizing purposes A pc
culiar thing in the exception made for CDrsl-
mas times is that you could at that season eeI
oysters in the shell ifyOu had them brought 10
the railroad but il YOU dared 10 bring them
away from the sacred oyster beds OF Alabama
i'm boats Won were liable TO have your boat con-
fiscated and be imprisoned and fined.
But seriously. section Of this extraordinary
law provides that 1T is unlawful for any per-
son, whether a citizen Of the State of Alaba-
ma or any other State OF country, to ship be-
yOnd the limits of this State any oysters taken
from the waters Of this State while the same
are in the shells Provided, that between the
middle of December and the middle of Jauu-
airy oysters in the shell may be shipped IN ban
res mot tubs or sacks by railroads mot
boats 10 other States. and provided further,
that such oysters in the shell may be shipped
bona fide from any point in the state of Ala
bama TO any other point in said State by the
lines Of transportation which lie partly within
a1d partly without the State of Alabama"
Now peculiarthing about this mos, extra
ordinary provision is that the Soons 81 the Ala
bama Assembly have given TO Mr.. Boothe,
who has recently established a canning estab-
lishment in Mobile, n monopoly in the oyster
canning business The Legislature says to
the hard tolling fishermen Of oysters. you
shall not seek market IN Mississippi or Loui-
siana factories for the oysters you have caught
in Alabama and paid ten cents a barrel for;
you con only sell your oysters 10 Mr.. Bootnes
factory. Now Is not that creating monopoly
for an oyster factory in Mobile or other points
IN the State and limiting the toilers of the
sea 10 the one, TWO OF more factories that may
be in the State and denying them an open
market. No law Of commerce could be move
unjust. and for the honor of our sister state
we hope il may soon be repealed.-BlloM

OPPOSED TO BEDS.
People Who Sleep on tho Floor, In Chairs,
Standlnn

People Who Sleep on. tho Floor, in Chairs,
or Standing Up.
Several persons, from some cause or
other, have resolved at various periods
not to sleep in bed. Perhaps the indi-
Vidual who kept to his resolution the
longest, says Spare Moments, was
christopher Pevitt, Of York, who died
in 1906, aged ninety-three. He was
carver and guilder by trade, but during
the earlier part of his life served in the
army. His house at York, after he had
settled down, was accidentally burned
down, and he therefore formed the sim
gular resolution OF never again sleep
ing In q bed, lest he should be burnt to
death while asleep, or not have time,
should such a misfortune again befall
him, to remove his property. The
resolution he rigidly kept for the last
forty years of his life, his practice being
to repose on the floor, or on two chairs,
or sitting in q chair, but always with
his clothes on. He lived entirely alone
aud was his own housekeeper, and
seldom admitted anyone into his hab-
itation. Among other articles which
composed his home was human skull,
which he left strict injunctions should
be inferred with him.
A pedestrian named Ernest Mensen,
who houriShed in the third decade of
this century and who once ran from
Calcutta to Constantinople in fifty-nine
days when employed as courier, took
very little rest and never slept in a bed
when on his travels. He got short maps
OF only ten or fifteen minutes at q time
each day, as and when he could, and
took them standing or leaning against
tree, with a handkerchief over his
face. Only the other day a man on
being charged with begging declared
that he had not slept in bed for thir-
teen years, but took his nights rest in
doorways and passages.
The Japanese never sleep in a bed,
but the same spotless floor that answers
for table, chairs and dancing stage is
utilized also for sleeping purposes.
They sleep in a great wadded coat, and,
putting their arms into the long sleeves,
fold it over them and go to sleep upon
the floor, with a block of wood placed
under the neck for a pillow. Perhaps
the strangest sleeping place was one
discovered few years ago, when the
police of Budapest found thirty per-
sons Of both sexes lying in dirty but
warm stream of water that flowed out
of mill. The water was shallow,
and the vagrants had got into it for
warmth, taking stones for pillows.

now to Breathe Properly.

In all the various systems of physical
culture now in vogue the greatest i'm
portance is attached to taking the
breath properly. The breathing should
be slow and deep, six breaths minute
being safe average. There is still a
difference of opinion in respect to the
relative value of abdominal and chest
breathing, and each system has it's ad-
vantages. One of the best exercises
for increasing the capacity of the lungs
is to draw full breath very slowly and
through the nose. Keep the lungs in
hated as long as possible and then ex-
pei the air suddenly through the mouth
and repeat the process. Care should be
taken not to try to make the period of
holding the breath too long Mt the start;
the more gradually the power of doing
this is attained, the better will be the
permanent results. There are many
breathing exercises, and one of the best
is the taking of q deep breath and
swinging the arms, first one then the
other and finally both, while the breath
is inhaled. Excessive practice of any
system should be avoided and the golden
rule of taking moderate and judicious
exercise should be observed.

PARIS, Sept. 2S.-A curious accident
has just occurred at Saltbach, near
Strasbourg. A girl found an obus shell
imbedded in field, and was taking it
triumphantly to her house when the
Uhians, stopping her, it was decided TO
divide the obus into pieces, so that each
should have bit as souvenir. One
OF the Uhlan's undertook to break it and
seized hammer. AT the instant he
struck it terrible explosion was heard,
the house was knocked down and the
hands and feet of the Uhlan were
tilated,

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The champion
swimmers, Samuel w. Thornton and

Brooklyn FROM Florida. A loyal recep-
ton was prepared by the faithful
brother, William Thornton, for these
fiisky disciples of Sinbad the Sailor.

Sans wife, who has thought herself a
widow since Aug. 27, changed her black
dress for n white one, and took her hus-
band back into her arms. Eva has also
been at the Thorntons all day.
Evidently Williams Interpretation of
the story is accepted by all parties con-
cerned. Eva looked weary In her white
flannel suit, and Sam seemed utterly ex-
hausted. The pair have been away for a
month.
The explanation of their absence, as
given by Sam, is that when he and Eva
went in bathing at Coney Island, on
Aug. 27, they were drifted out to sea,
picked up by Spanish steamer, and
carried to place near Jacksonville,
Fla. A conductor on a sleeping car,
however, has said that he recognized
these people in berth on a car.

Been In the Ruins, Turn Up.
ST. LOUIS, Sept 2S.-At $3.50 yester-
day afternoon an alarm of fire was
turned in from the mammoth establish
mont Of the Plant Milling company at
the foot of Choteau avenue. The flames
covered the entire fifth floor before an
engine arrived on the scene A second
and third alarm followed in quick sue
cesslon.
Soon the roof of the main building
fell with crash, and its weight ON the
now burning floors beneath caused a
general collapse.
AT 5:i5 p. IN. the firemen were called
to Tenth and Spruce streets by gen
eral alarm, leaving but a few streams
playing on the now smouldering en-
bers of the once massive milling struc-.
ture.
The firms suffering from the fire on
Tenth and Spruce streets were the

the loss of each amounting to some
$1,000 The loss sustained by the Man

tim bers and seriously injured, and were
carried into house near by and lost
sight of in the excitement.

APECULIAR DISEASE.
Wonderful Case of Exfoliation in
Tennessee.


The Victim OF This Strange Disease
Is n Lady Named Sarah Heas. II
Years of Age--oyer 600 Sections
Of Bone Have Been Expelled Thus
Far from Her Body.
BRIsToL, Tenn, Sept. 28.-Dr. B. F.
Bell, of Parrottsville, Tenn, read before
the East Tennessee Medical society q
paper on q wonderful case of exfoliation
or the election Of bones from the human
body. The victim of Che peculiar disease
is lady named Sarah Heas, II years of
age. residing in Covey braach.
About twsnty-one years ago the doc
tor was first called to Iris patient, and
since that time he has given her ailment
close attention. Curing all these years
more than 6U0 bones have been expelled
from different parts of Miss Heas' body.
This exfoliation, DR.. Bell says, has
taken place without pain on iniiamma-
tion, and soon after tae election of the
bones the sores would quickly heal up
and nothing more would be noticed till
another baJch of bones would start out.
Where tho Disease First Began.
The disease first began on the index
finger iof ner left hand. Every bone in
that hand disappeared and new ones
took their places. Tho next member of
the body attacked was the arm, then
shoulder blade and then the lover jaw
bone. Some of the bones worked out
Through the throat and others pene-
trated the ear. The doctor said the
process worked SO rapidly that he had
ant near the patient many times and
watched the bones as they come out
without any assistance whatever except
fhat OF nature itself. Some of them were

SAN LUIS oBlsPo, Cal, Sept. ga
horrible murder has been unearthed
which was committed at the eastern
border of this county recently. Martin
Heines suddenly disappeared, leaving no
trace. Within the last few days his
blankets and clothes were found in a
well covered up with stones. Frag-
ments of bones and flesh were found in
hog wallow near the shanty of pre-
emptor named John Silvia, for whom
the man worked. The eoroner's jury
found that Heines was murdered by
Silvia. The evidence tends to show that
Silvia had killed Heines by shooting
him in the back, chopped him up and
fed him to the hogs.
