FRESH AIR AS A TONIC.


IL 10 More Valuable than . Whole Chest
FUN Of Drugs.
An interesting fresh-air experiment
was recently tried with wonderful sue
cess at children's hospital in New
York. A number Of the little inmates
of the place had been ailing for some
time with indigestion and lack of nu-
triton, and as q last resort the expert
ment referred to was tried by the ply.
sician in charge. The babies were
wrapped up as for the street and were
then taken into large room where
all the windows were open and had
been opened for twenty-four hours
previous. Here they were kept for
from two to four hours daily for .
number of weeks. At the end of that
time all of the babies showed wonder
full improvement and not one of them
took cold. The weakest of them had
bottles of hot water placed at their feet,
but the others were simply attired in
their ordinary street clothes. The doc
tor who tried this plan says that he has
no doubt that many of the ailments of
grown people, as we'll as children, could
be treated by the same method with
like success. Women, especially, he
said, were often made i'll through moth
ing else than lack of pure air.
1t is certain that there are many
women who, through the long winter
months. rarely breathe pure air. Stay
ing closely at home because they are
afraid they will take cold if they go
out, they feel every chill wind, and are
afflicted with headache and morbid
ness and sundry ailments which would
disappear it they would make it a habit
of going out somewhere every day for
walk. Working women who are
obliged to be out every day, no matter
what the weather may be, are usually
in far better health than the woman who
can stay ut home and who does SO day
after day, only getting as much
register or an occasional opening of a
window. Itis no wonder that they are
afflicted with nerves and moods and
the like-that they become discontented
and 'blue." There is nothing like a
walk in the open air for the cure OF
such woes. Try this plan and see if il
does not help you. Get out every day.
Don't always go shopping or down the
street, but go out of the city limits and
find where the wild flowers are be.
ginning to spring up. If you can not
attempt SO long walk take any of the
city :street-car lines and ride as far as
You can on them and then get out and
walk. There are meadows and woods
and charming spots all around this dea,
city, and all the joys they offer can be
yours for the finding. Chicago Times

TO ASK FOR A NEW TRIAL.

Dempsey's Attorney Not Satisfied Witl
 the Verdict and Will Appeal.
 PITTsBURa, Jan 21.-L. K. Porter, at torney for Master Workman Dempsey, who was yesterday found guilty as in dicted for causing poison to be admins tered to the non-union men in the Homestead mill, says the verdict Is a false one. and that he will immediately move for new trial
 On what grounds MT. Porter refused to say, but 1t is understood that one of the points he will raise is that, contrary tC the plain and positive instructions of the court, the jury found Dempsey guilty as indicted on four counts, when he should have been found guilty only on the first count.
 Another and more sensational point will be raised, which, if proven, will be sufficient to set the verdict aside.
 Capt. E. Y. Breck, of the prosecution, said he expected the verdict, as there had never been any. doubt in his mind as to Dempsey's guilt, and he thought it had been shown to the jury plainly enough.
 The maximum punishment for feloni- ous assault and battery is seven years imprisonment.

 body had expected it, after the jury had asked the court certain questions.
 Judge Stowe in charging the jury re
 viewed very carefully and impartially all
 points of the testimony brought out dur
 ing the trial.
 ''It is for the jury" he said, Ito de termine whether poison was put into the
 coffee or tea, or the food in the mill. 'This question depends solely upon tho testimony of Gallagher and Davidson. Il they tell the truth, then the defendant
 was the originator and principal in tn, business and is responsible for the acts of Gallagher and Davidson or either, and accountable for whatever they did in pur. su&nce of his instructions.
 Now, just here comes the great Ques ion so far as the defendant is concerned " Dempsey emphatically denies wha Gallagher and Dav;dso have to say in re gard to the purpose for which he em ployed them. He is a competent but al interested witness. They are also compe tent, but suspicious and tainted witnesses '' But the jury may, if they believ' their testimony, convict from it alone" The jury after being out until l:lO D. ! m. came in for further instructions from | the court. Foreman Guy wanted to know if the court had stricken out of the in | diCtment the third and fourth counts anC he was told that the court could not dc this, but had instructed the jury to ac- quit on the counts which related to Dem sey assaulting persons unknown, foI l there was no competent evidence offered on these counts.
 The judge told the jury that if they | found the defendant guilty at all it must l be on the first count, charging Dempse. | with assaulting w. k. Gritliths with in | tent to commit murder.

Horrible Cruelty i, Russia.

The peasants of the Russian village of Jagodzints, in Lithuania, wrecked their vengeance on suspected horse thief recently by setting fire to his dwelling during the night while he, his wife. mother and family of five chill dren were within, and burning the whole family to death. The peasants stood around the hut, and when the in mates rushed out they were thrust back into the burning house with pitchforl1s and scythcs. One of the women was murdered outright in the attempt to force her back in the flames. The peasants gave. themselves up to the Russian police. and will most probably be imprisoned for year and then exiled to another part of the country.

uE CAME DOWN HEAVILY.

the White mist that hung low along the further edge of the swamp he fancied he could see again the battery smoke through which the ghostly figure of the dead rider had charged his gun three years before; in the bending white plume of a funeral plantin the long avenue, he thought he saw once more the light figure of Miss Sally of only yesterday. In another moment, in his already dazed condition, he might have succumbcd to some sensuous memory of her former fascinations, but he threw it off savagely TOW, with n quick and bitter recalling of her deceit and his own weakness. Turn ing his back upon the scene, with half superstitious tremor, he plunged once moro into the trackless covert. But he was conscious that his eyesight was gradually growing dim and his strength failing. He was obliged from time to time to stop and rally his slug gish senses that seemed to grow heavier under some deadly exhalation that flowed around him. He even seemed to hear familiar voices-but that must be delusion! At last he stumbled. Throwing out an arm to protect himself he came heavily down upon the ooze, striking dull half elastic root that seemed-it must have been another delusion-to move be- heath him, and evkn-so confused was his senses now-to strike back angrily upon his prostrate form. A sharp pain ran from his elbow to his shoulder and for moment stung him to full consciousness again. There qrcre voices surely-the voices of their former pursucrs! If they were seeking to revenge themselves upon him for Cato's escape, he was ready for them!

 What did you do that for?'' gaspcd, and shook the pins out, and what do you take up such a monstrosity for any how?"
 ''Therc ees nothing like an object les son. madame" pleaded the hairdrcsscr, dcprrcatingly, "and it ees not so very unbcconing. There must always be the change, madame EnOws."
 Yes, there must, thanks to the Cm- bodied capriccs which are women, and so. good people, you are welcome to my newly acquired knowledge of how to "dn" the hair in a rhgnou.
 If you don't feel inclined to take up the new mode immediately perhaps the bun" may appeal to you. The 'bun'' Is almost as correct as the other. and tO achieve it the hair is waved in front, parted a little on one side and then coiled to look like a birds nest with very little room for the birds. You don't wear net with 1t, and you do with the chignon. This Is ono of the main differences, or so it looks to me.
 Some other learning I have possessed myself of on the subject of underwear. There Is an immense amount of buying of silk stuff because it Is cheap, because it Is no longer fashionable. It never had any excuse for existence outside the sensuous luxurics of the vom ell of the hnlf world, because the woman who Is clean in soul must be clean in garments. and her clothing must not shrink from tho purging of soap and hot water. In ugly English silk is dirty wear, and tho fine cambric and muslin and lawn which have replaced 1t have stronger claims upon respect, even though they be so claborately stitched and belaced that the modern belle In her night robe looks rather as If she were fitted out for q boudoir high tea.
 Huge square cape collars, with full lace hounces and run with broad rib bons, lead, rather than follow, the fash ion of the daytime gown. Over these immensities little round lace collar is gathered at the throat, and lace ruffs that reach from the elbow to the wrist finish the sleeves.

He cooked his revolver and stood erect A torch flashed through the wood But even at that moment film came over his eyes; he staggered and fell.
 An interval of helpless, semi-con. sciousness ensued He felt himself lifted by strong arms and carried forward. his arm hanging uselessly at his side. The dank odor of the wood was presently exchanged for the free air of the open field; the flaming pine knot torches were extinguished in the bright moonlight People pressed around him, but so indistinctly he could not recognize them. All his conscious. ness seemed centered in the burning throbbing pain of his arm. He felt himself laid upon the gravel; the sleeve cut from his shoulder; the cool sensa- tion of the hot and bursting skin barred to the night air, and then a soft and indescribable pressure upon wound he had not felt before.
