rhe STORY of john Smith.

1t was on Sept. 8 that John Smith, of
Virginia, narrowly escaped death through
the presence of mind of Pocahontas.
Smith had long whiskers and a blond
pompadour, which were novelties in Vir-
ginia at that time, and Pocahontas was
impressed.
She decided on a coup.
Hurriedly approaching the spot where
Smith was about to be pulverized with a
club, she uttered an exclamation of sur
prise.
'Why, Smithy," she cried, where have
you been all this timer"
Turning to her father, who stood near,
she smiled pleasantly.
Papa, Mr.. Smith-Mr. Smith, papa"
she evivaciously remarked. II met Mr..
Smith at the seaside, papa. And how is
your dear mother Mr.. Smith,"
The ruse was successful. In time Smith
married Pccahonttsass, ttsass, which was better
than being killed. Detroit Tribune.

About What to Eat,

If asked what would place of high

answer without hesitation abundance of
fruit. The apple is far more invaluable
than we have yet estimated. 1t should
be eaten before meals, and not after.
Not member of my family, myself in

breakfast SO long as they are obtainable,
and as many before dinner-about half
an hour before the meal. AS soon as the
fruit is begun we stop all study or work,
and spend the half hour in sport OF
walking or conversation.
After meals we rest i'll the same man
ner for one hour. No child is allowed

Fraudulent Jewels.

Since solutions of aniline dyes possess
the property OF imparting to genuine
jewels as well as glass paste deep
rich color if left long enough immersed
in them, and since they possess also the
property of imparting precisely the char.
acteristic color Of genuine jewel, the
swindler has it not only in his power to
dye cut glass paste, but also inferior cut
gems, of the color of a ruby, an emerald
or sapphire, since fuchsine is the hand
somest ruby red shade, while bleu de
Paris initiates absolutely that of the
sapphire, and aniline green that of the
emerald.
SUCH fraud, however, can be made
still more complicated by using genuine
off colored rubies, sapphires or emeralds
and dyeing them with the correspond
ingly aniline dyes, thereby raising their
value tenfold. 1t is exceedingly diff
cult to recognize this fraud, because the
color of such a we'll corroded jewel can
no longer be washed off, even with hot
water. Only the bleaching power of
sunlight might after time assist in re-
vealing the swindle.-Jewelers' Circu-

Tuberculosis in Rats.

Fortseven years have. been making
almost daily experiments upon the in
ternal organs of dead animals in order
to increase my knowledge of compare
tive pathology. The postmortem ex-
amirlations were made for the most part
at the Lamparter Glue works, in the
suburbs of Lancaster, Pa. Here of
course were the bodies of large numbers
Of animals which afforded me an abun-
dant supply of subjects for examination.
The vicinity of the works swarmed with
rats. Many of those, the workmen told
me, sickened and died from time to time,
and became curious to know something
about the disease that carried so many
of the rodents off.
could,fin next to nothing about the
rat in books, SO the thought growing
upon me that the disease so fatal to the
rat might be made dangerous to the
rats nearest neighbor, man himself,
undertook a series of experiments. My
first rat subject was sick one which
captured in the yard of the glue works
without any exertion. The animal
crawled about, made no effort to escape
from me and when picked up offered no
resistance. Its appearance indicated that
it was dying of general debility. Its
body was greatly emaciated. Its back
was arched and its face bore an express
sion of distress. 1t refused food, was
racked with constant cough and in a
few hours after being captured was
found dead in the comfortable prison in
which had placed it.
My next subject was a healthier and
more active rat. caught him only to
mark him and then gave him his free
dom. He came into the yard regularly
for his rations of flesh from various ami
mails, but gradually showed the same
symptoms that marked the condition of
my first subject, and. in fourteen days
after capture he, too, was dead. The
postmortem examination of these two
cases developed the fact that the lungs
| were badly diseased. tuberculosis had
destroyed the right lung of each and
| only part of the left remained.-Dr.

Platform and Resolutions.


ST. PAUL, July 14.-When the Peoples
party convention was called to order
in the evening the chair called for
the report of the committee on resolu-
tons. Chairman Doc Fish responded
and made few preliminary remarks,
saying a year ago the committee had 124
resolutions, and as this was altogether
too much, this committee had started
reform, dividing the thing into the plat
form and three separate resolutions,
making all brief. The resolutions were
then read as follows:
Resolved, That the Peoples Party of
Minnesota affirms and emphasizes the
principles and demands of our national
platform, and declares it's faith in the
ability and integrity of our candidates for
president and vice president. We pledge
to the citizens of Minnesota the fidelity of
the nominees of this convention to the
principles of reform, embracing an imme-
date and radical change in the state con-
troll of corporations and transportation
facilities, with direct reference to the
grain traffic and state taxation.
Resolved, That the constitution should
be so amended that the people shall have
the right to have all laws referred back to
themselves for approval or disapproval.
Whereas, it appears from sworn testi-
mony that gigantic frauds are perpetrated
upon the grain growers of Minnesota I'M
der our present system of grain inspect
ing and wsrehousing, therefore,
Resolved, That we demand that the
transportation companies shall provide
suitable shipping and warehousing facili-
ties at every station on their lines, also
that the state shall erect terminal eleva-
tors at Minneapolis, st. Paul and Duluth
for public storage of grain.
Resolved, THAT we extend our SYM
pathfes to the oppressed workmen at
Homestead and all over the United States
in their fight against the expressions of
monopolistic employers, and we urge
them to join with us in an attempt to
overthrow at the polls our common
enemy, the monopolistic millionaires who
are now through their control of the gov
eminent and the industries of the country,
rapidly and surely reducing the people to
condition of political and industrial
slavery.
Whereas. We believe there is corruption
caused by the forming of political rings

ried office shall have right to become q
