GREENWICH, Conn. Feb. 4.-Charles r..
Waterbury, the last of the kidnapping
gang TO be arrested, has confessed that he
concocted the whole scheme. He said he
knew the boys father was rich and he be-
lieved portion OF that wealth ought TO
come To him and he had made up his mind
to go TO New York and start a dive with
the money he expected TO get for the boys
ransom. Waterbury told bis story with u
staggering manner and seemed TO regard
the whole affair as a huge joke.

A Difference.

How careful dairy writers, and espe
cially printers of dairy papers, ought to
be to get in the figures and decimal
points so as to truly convey the meaning
designed by the author. We make this
note from reading purported copy of
some facts IN Dr.. Babcock's annual report
in regard to using the small centrifuge.
All through the reprint he is made to
say the skimnlilk tested per cent. fat,
when his own printed report says i of
per cent.-which is only one-tenth as
much as the stupid or careless typo or
proofreader makes it. The pity is that
thousands of readers take the statement
for truth just as it is printed. -Hoard's

A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir--I would like to tell you of our eX-
perience with your Liquid Food, for Ifeel very
sure that in the mercy of God it saved my hus-
bands life.
Two years ago, my husband worn outwith ex-
cessive watching and anxiety by reason of a
severe illness of mine, together with the
pressure of his duties as principal of a high
school, broke down completely, nervous ex-
haustion, severe rhematism, amounting almost
to rheumatic fever, and complete arrangement
of the digestive system so that he could not
keep milk on his stomach, OF the simplest nour-
ishment, brought him down very low.
Our physician, nearly i'll despair, tried one
thing after another, but all to no good AT last
he hit on your Liquid Food; the effect was mag
ical The very first dose made itself felt like a
thrill of new life; his improvement was very
rapid, his appetite ravenous, and he gained flesh
very fast His rheumatism, too which had
troubled him exceedingly for several years, was
very much relieved, and, in short, he seemed
and felt like new man. To all who knew him
and his former condition. he was a walking
advertisement of Murdock's Liquid Food. Since
that time, when he becomes debilitated through
overwork or indigestion, d LITTLE of the Liquid
Food will soon set him right again.
Feeling that we both owe you a large debt of
gratitude, and this acknowledgement OF the
benefit received, 1 am,
Yours respectfully

Trying to Buy Back His own Body.

This queer story comes from Massa-
chusetts: "a man who lives in a sub
urb of Lowell is seeking to have deed,
given by him twenty years ago, recov-
cred. The deed conveyed his body to q
surgeon now practicing in Great Falls,
N. H., for the sum of $40 and other con-
siderations, possession to be taken on
his death. Since the deed was made
the giver has made fortune in South
America and has decided that he would
like Christian burial. The deed pro-
vides that the body shall be dis
sected and the skeleton articulated
and presented to medical university.
The lawyers have decided that the
deed holds good and the only alterna-
tive is to buy off the doctor. The giver
of the deed has made big offer, but it
has been refused. ,..,

WONDERS OF SLEEP.
A Scientist Explains Why We Lose Con
soiousness During That Period.


soiousness During That Period.
In paper published in French
medical magazine, DR.. Brown-Sequard,
the famous s'elixir Of life'' advocate,
adduces some of the reasons that have
led him to the conclusion that normal
sleep is the effect of an inhibitory act,
instead of depending, as formerly sup
posed, upon a vascular contraction TAX
ing place in the cerebral lobes. Ex-
exist whether there is little or much
blood in the vessels of the brain. That
the loss of consciousness in sleep in nu-
merous other accidental or pathological
cases is the effect of an inhibition of
the cerebral faculties is to be believed.
DR.. Brown Sequard argues, because Of
direct proofs showing that the loss OF
consciousness in the case of pune
ture of the bulb, and in other cases,
also, is, beyond all dispute, due to an
inhibitory act, and also because of all
that is known of the circumstances
which precede or accompany sleep. The
broad statement made by the cele-
brated author is that there exists, when
sleep occurs and as long as it lasts, irri-
tation at distance from the organs in
which the cessation of activity takes
place. Among the proofs of the exist
ence of such irritations the following
are cited; Feeling of heaviness in the
eyes, persistent contraction of the pu-
pill, contraction of the orbicular muscles
and contraction Of the blood vessels of
the retina Of the eye and of the
cerebral lobes.-Chicago Herald.

NERVOUS and SICK HEADACHE
How to Perfectly Cure Them.

All forms of headache are of a nervous char
acter, and are caused by a weakness, irritation
or disease of nerves of the head, or to the dis
orders of the system from Spring Debility, and
to cure such cases it is absolutely necessary to
use DIR. Greene's Nervura. The Grip also,
which has been so prevalent causes more mead
ache and leaves the nerves OF the head in
more weakened and diseased condition than
any other known affection. This condition
should nerer be neglected. Many persons who
suffer from headache have, by repeated failures
to find relief despaired of cure To such we
would say, by all means secure u bottle OF this
wonderful remedy, and watch its marvellous eff
fects. 1t is the most perfect cure known for
headache. Purely vegetable and harmless.

also mentioned for a place on the Demo-
cratic committee.
The Republicans this year all united in
supporting the amended citizens ticket,
and as a result they elected a majority of
the board of selectmen. This gives the
craftsmanship of the board to the Repub-
icans, a position that of right belongs to
them, inasmuch as the people of the
town will hold the two Republicans re-
sponsible for the proper conduct of af-
fairs, as well as the judicious expendi-
ture of their money this year.
determined but unsuccessful effort
was made in the adjourned meeting
Tuesday, to cut down the pay of tax col
lector. After much discussion, the pay
of former years. per cent.--was voted,
but two articles in the warrant, one al
lowing discount on taxes paid within
certain date, the other charging interest
after certain period, were both wisely
dismissed. This will result in saving
of at least $1,000 to the taxpayers, while
