Harris has said farewell to his parents and

life is approaching, and while he shows
nervous apprehension and full apprecia-

ing the past, and seeking to place himself
right with the world he leaves.
Harris was trife more nervous than
usual today, the situation having its effect
upon him, and the man who allowed no
sign of emotion to escape him during the
scenes of the past month is at last show
ing that he is human.
The prison physician saw him twice to-
day. and said that while Harris was q lit.

She took her last farewell of her boy yes

the saddest that has ever been witnessed
within the grim walls where all is sad

said good bye yesterday. This afternoon
Charles d. Harris, his father, accompanied
by young Allan, went to the prison, and
father and son met for the first time in
years. Mr.. and Mrs. Harris have lived
apart for some time. Afterward the father
took the train back to his home in Syra-

The Amiclx Discovery.

On another page of this issue is an ex-
haustive article on the treatment and cure OF
consumption. The subject has lately been
brought TO the attention OF the press OF tho
entire country as result Of the action OF the
Michigan Board of Health In declaring con-
sumption n contagious dlsessc, and recon-
mending the isolation OF affected persons to
special hospitals erected for the purpose.
Should other state boards Of health follow
the example of the Michigan body 1t seems
impossible to measure what the consequences
would be. The New York Recorder, actuatcd
by that spirit which should pervade every
editorial sanctum, offered reward OF III 200
to any physician eifecting o cure for con-
sumption. The oifers was promptly accepted
by Dr. w. r. Amick of Cincinnati, who had
already distinguished himself by curing
some patients selected by the Cincinnati
| Post, newspaper. The management of the
| Recorder selected ten patients In various

| willingness but his great desire to have his
| treatment impartially tested before any
| money for the medicines has been expended
| by the affected. He offers to send to all
| local physicians, regardless of school or code
or creed, test packages of his medicines sufii-
| Client to show just what results will be pro
| duced in each case. The fact that these out
fits are only sent to the patient through hi
or her physician is a guarantee that they vii
stand the test 10 which they may he subjected
by medical experts. DR.. Amick Is willing Il
let each physician and each patient judge a
to whether he has accomplished what h
claims. There is already the testimony o
physicians and patients who have foun'
reasons for endorsing the discovery. In tn
face of such evidence Of its worth there cal
be but little hcsitancy in pronouncing tn
discovery great boon to suffering mankind
and therefore of incalculablc benefit to tn
whole human race.

A Queer wedding.

During medieval times q woman
who had nothing when she was mar
ried escaped the responsibility OF her
debts. Women were then often mar
ried in a single garment to relieve
themselves of Indebtedness. A young
and noble German lady OF the six
teenth century, to make assurance
doubly sure, had the marriage cere-
mony performed while she was stand
ing in closet entirely Invested OF
clothing. She put out her hand
through the crack of the door and
was thus married. AS soon as the
ceremony was performed the groom,
clergyman and witnesses left the
room, she came out, arrayed herself
in clothes provided by her husband
and took her place at the marriage
feust.

Peculiar Features About the Appetizins /

The lobster is much more agile
than the crab. and having eaten
whatever food he can find within o
pot, chambers about the netting UNI
til he discovers one of the ever open
apertures in the sides, and then he
passes once moro into freedom.
When fishing for Holsters, it is there
fore necessary for the men to exam
inc their pots as frequently as posi-
BILE. Crabs, being slower in their
movements, do not so readily escape.
and an extra good haul is anticipated
If the pots are unraised for longer
period than usual.
HOLSTERS are not only evilly dis
posed toward crabs. but, sad to say,
they do not bear good will to one an
other. AS soon as they are safely
landed their formidable nippers are
encircled with piece OF string to
prevent them mangling their neigh
bors They are most pugnacious
creatures. If two happen to meet in
confined space they will at once
"make for" each others eyes. In
the words of an ancient, "They fight
like men,"
Perhaps it Is because crabs are
less active than Holsters that the pot
into which it is hoped the former
will crawl must be moved to fresh
ground every time they are exam
ined; otherwise few or none will be
caught. On the other hand, the
! pots for Holsters may be dropped or
the very spot from which they were
raised, without the subsequent catcl
being thereby lessenod.
