EFFECT OF DIET ON LIQUOR DRINK
1NG.-Charles Napier, an English sci
entific man, has been testing the truth
of Liebig's theory that liquor drink
ing is compatible with animal food,
but not with farinaceous diet. The ex-
pertinent was tried upon twenty-seven
liduor-drinking persons, with results
substantiating the Liebig theory.
Among the most striking instances of
reform brought about bya change of diet
was that ola gentleman Of sixty, who
had been addicted to Incorporate
habits for thirty-fve years, his out
bursts averaging one week. His
constitution was so shattered that he
had great difficulty in insuring his life.
After an attack of detirium tremcas
which nearly ended fatally, he was
persuaded to enter upon q farinaceous
diet, which, it is said, cured him COM
pletely in seven months. He seems to
have been very thin at the beginning
of the experiment, but at the close
of the period named had gained
twenty-eight pounds, being then about
the normal weight for person OF his
height. five inquire the cause OF a
vegetarian's dissemination to alcoholic
liquors, we find that the carbonaceous
starch contained in the macaroni,
beans, or oleaginous aliment, appears
to render unnecessary, and therefore
repulsive, carbon in an alcoholic form.

Is Ada Rchan Bow-Lcggcd

1t has been frequently noticed by
men who visited Montana's exhibits at
the Worlds Fair since the silver statue
of Justice was unveiled that whenever
there was party of women without
escorts around the statue they invarl-
ably got to laughing at great rate, as
if they had made some great discovery,
which was Just too good to let the hor-
rid men into the secret of.
Yesterday, however, in an unguard-
ed moment one of these unconscious
critics let the cat out of the bag. There
were four or five of them standing
around the statue gazing at its classic
pose, when one Of them, who had look
ing intently at the ankles of Justice for
several minutes, suddenly burst out
with: "Oh, girls, she's bow-legsed-
inst look !"
There was a gathering of heads in
one place, and craning of necks and
much raising and lowering of eyes, as
if trying to mentally follow the direc-
ton taken by Justices ankle where it
was lost under the folds of her toga.
Then there was unanimous nodding
of heads and a great deal of giggling,
as if the discovery constituted one OF
the rarest Jokes ever heard of.
A careful survey of the lines of
Justices right ankle confirms
the criticisms passed upon her by the
women. There can be no question
that, taking the original departure of
the ankle from the foot upon which 1t
rests and extending it in q straig hit
line, the upper end would leave the
main trunk of the statue somewhere
about three feet above the pedestal,
and, if further projected would strike
the roof of the Mines building, about
$50 feet north of the point Immediately
over her head. The only possible way
for her ankle to reach the main trunk
of her body after starting out the dl.
rection it has is to describe q sort OF
horseshoe bend somewhere about the
knee ioint.-Chicdgo Mter-Ocedn.

4 Death-Dcaling Cyclone.

PERRY, Kas., June 22.-The most
destructive and death-dealing cyclone
that ever visited western Kansas passed
through Jefferson county about seven
o'clock last evening. Ittook in scope
of half a mile wide and about six miles
long. Not house, barn or tree was
left standing in its path. 1t was &C.
companied by terrible rain storm and
midnight darkness. Eleven dead bo-
dies have so far been discovered and it
is known that at least five more were
killed. The bodies are all horribly
mansled. The arms and legs Of a wo-
man were found in a tree mile from
her house and the head of another was
severed from the body. Several per-
sons are known to be fatally injured
and many others are seriously hurt.
1t is probable that at least 20 persons
have been killed and 80 houses blown
down

EX-SENATOR EDMUNDs, who went
into retirement soon after the late MT.

net, has emerged again, to say that tne
capse of the existing financial depres-
sion and all its resulting evils is the
success of the last national democratic
platform But as yet, at least, notn-
ing has happened TO prove that tne
platform referred to will be successful.
Certainly not one of its provisions mas

lates to its chief one, that for the re-
neal of the Mckinley bill, the outslv-
inps Of those in authority are to the
effect that it will be matter OF minor
consideration when Congress snail

means of preventing free silver coinage
But wiser and more sincere men than
Mr. Edmunds believe that such CON-
age would not have proved more DIS
astrous than the bill he advocated, ouV
which he now wants repealed.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 22.-The
police think they have caught the muir
derer of Charles Doolittle, a well-known
young man of this city, who was found
last October near his home at Delta,
with bullet in his head.
Walter Gould, arrested on sus-
picion of being burglar, grew
confidential with Detective Witte
and told him all about the muir
der, saying it was done in revenge by a
man who was discharged from Doolit-
ties employ. Gould described the
man infinitely. The description fits
the prisoner himself and corresponds
to that given by Doolittle himself just
before he died, of the man he saw disap-
pear from under the gas-light after the
shooting. 1t is learned that Gould was
discharged by Doolittle.

LOCUST PLAQUES AT SEA.-Grass-
hoppers have blocked railway lines in
America, but it is only in the East that
such plaques have been formidable
enough to obstruct navigation. The
other day an account was given the
London chronological Society of the
recent visitation of the Gold Coast, in
West Africa, by several swarms of To-
Gusts, one of which extended east and
west as far as the eye could see and was
about two miles wide and from quar-
ter of a mile to mile high. In the
ensuing discussion, Col. Swinton stated
that he had seen much larger swarms,
and mentioned one which settled on a
steamboat in The Red Sea in such num-
bers that frequently stops were neces-
sary to clear the paddle wheels from the
insects. The locusts may travel or be
carried by storms far from land, an i'm
mense swarm having been once seen
1000 miles out in the Atlantic. Early in
the Christian era, such vast multitudes
flew to sea and were drowned off the
north coast of Africa that their dead
bodies were washed ashore in bank 3
or 4 feet high and so miles long.

producers produce more than will sup
ply the home market, they want Tor

is denied them by the high tariff, which

. A HUSBANDS REyENGE.-For some
time past DIR. John Hood, of Alden,
Tenn, has suspected that improper re-
lations existed between his wife and
Vim. Piper. Monday night DIR. Hood
left home, ostensibly on a visit to pa
tient, but, instead, hid in an outbuild-
ing near the house. In less than an
hour Piper entered the house. DR..
Hood forced his way to his wife's bed
room, and found his wife and Piper in
a compromising situation. The doctor
attempted to shoot Piper, but the pis-
tol snapped. Snatchinga coal-oil lamp
burning on table nearby, the wronSed
husband dashed the missile at Piper's
head, the glass horribly cutting his face.
The lamb exploded, the oil running in
streams of fire over Piper's body, burn
ing his right ear of, destroying the
sight of both eyes, literally cooking his
breast and shoulders and burning his
hair and beard. He died in less than
an hour. The unfaithful wife threw
herself upon the body of the mass of
charred flesh and cried for death to take
her with her lover. All the parties are
prominent people of that State.
