Why We Are Dyspetic,

Why We Are Dyspettc.
A Cincinnati business man tells the
Times-Star that he has just as.
certained why his stomach is always
tout of order, The simple reason is
that he gives it no rest. He lunches
between meals, taking nov and then q
social drink, and winding up with a
hearty supper and a visit to the club.
Under such a programme he adds.
"Your stomach is never given a rest,
and you finally began to take patent
nostrums just because you see them
ADVERTISED for every ailment under
the sun. By the time you are 45 you
are an old man, and no physicians
can save you from the horrors of a
tired feeling or aching bones and
sleepless nights. II a person conld fol-
low the rule, eat regular meals and
never lunch between, life would be far
more pleasant for most of us" Many
fail from alleged over-work of mind or
body, while in reality the cause isan
over-worked stomach. That is why
We are known as a nation of dys.
peptics.

Instances In Which People Have
Lost Their Lives Through Fear.

Instances In Which People Have
Lost Their Lives Through Fear.
81 have interested myself somewhat
in looking up unusual auses OF
death" said DR.. Elder to a Washington
Star reporter, land have meet sever
al well-authenticated instances where
fright was the cause. The English
surgeon general, Francis, tells OF a
drummer in India across whose legs a
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep. He was sure that a cobra
had bitten him, and it was too much
for his nerves and he died. Frederick
I. of Prussia was killed by fear. His
wife was insane and one day she es'
capped from her keepers and dabbling
her clothes in blood, rushed upon hel
husband while he was doing in his
chair. King Frederick imagined her to
be the white lady whose ghost was
believed to invariably appear when.
ever the death of a member OF the
royal family was TO occur, ana ne was
thrown into a fever and died in six
weeks. But perhaps the most re-
markable death from fear was that OF
the Dutch painter, Pentman, who
lived in the seventeenth century. One
day he went into a room full OF
anatomical subjects to sketch some
deaths heads and skeletons for a
picture he intended to paint. The
weather was very sultry, and while
sketching he fell asleep. He was
aroused by bones dancing around him
and the skeletons suspended from the
ceiling clashing together. In q fit OF
terror he threw himself from the win
dow, and, though he sustained no
serious injury, and was informed that
a slight earthquake had caused the
connection among his ghostly sur
roundings, he died in a few days in a
nervous tremor. l could cite many
other cases where the shock of the
nervous system which we know as
fright has produced DEATH"

WILL OF AN Ex-sLAvE.

All OF Her Property Left to Her
Former Masters Son.
There will be a queer last will and
testament offered for probate in the
ordinary's Office soon in this county,
says an Aikens (Ga.) specialize the At.
'anta Constitution.
Some years before the war Julia
Phinizy, a bright and buxom young
woman with health and energy, con-
tracted with the late Ferdinand Phin-
izy-her owner-for her freedom,
agreeing to pay q stated sum there
for. By industry, frugality, and econ
omys he managed to pay the amount
and gain her freedom just before the
emancipation proclamation was is
sued. Julia still continued to work
and economic, and was always re-
garded as an exceptionally good wom-
an. She thought q great deal of her
masters family before and after free
dom, and never ceased to hold them
in the highest esteem.
They also loved Julia, their old
slave. A few days ago she died. She
left a will duly executed and signed.
By the will she bequeathed all her
property, which amounted to a nice
little sum considering the fact that it
was entirely the savings of an ex-slave
made dollar by dollar with hard
work, to a member of her old masters
family.
She named as the beneficiary in this
carefully drawn document Marion
Phinizy, a son of the late Ferdinand
Phinizy, who lives in this city and
who is worth in his own right q quar-
ter of q million.
Having no heir other own this honest
and devoted old slave left her earthly
possessions az a monument of her old
masters family, which will be perpet-
uated by being spread upon the rec
cords OF the courts of the country g..

Evidences in a Sharks stomach.

The Chinese Cabinet at Whitehall
Yard, London, is also replete with
objects of interest, while among the
naval curios is the. tin box found in
the body of a shark, the story OF
which has been graphically narrated
by the late Mr.: John limbs in his
''curiosities of London" A ship
bound for the West Indies fell in with
and chased suspicious-looking craft
having the appearance Of a SLAYER.
During the pursuit something was
thrown overheard from the chased
vessel. Which being captured was
taken into Port Royal to be ad-
Indicated upon s SLAYER. The ships
papers were not Forthcoming, and the
vessel was in a fair way to escape
condemnation, when a ship came into
port which had caught a shark, in the
stomach of which voracious monster
was a tin box containing the missing
papers, and these clearly showed that
the captured craft was engaged in the
