PEPPER FOR DIGESTION.

While it is true that too much spice
and pepper in ones food will in time
work some injury to the digestion by
over-stimulatlon, yet it is also true that
a moderate daily use of pepper is a
proper stimulant for the digestive
organs, and in the case of persons who
are inclined to have a torpid liver is
often quite sufficient to keep them in
proper condition without resort to
drugs, One physicians prescription to
a person habitually bi ious was to take
once week little pill made of bread
and small pince of cayenne pepper

THE WARM SALT BATH.
Warm salt baths, taken at a tempera
ture Of 90 to 95 dogs, are eminently
suited for those with whom the open
sea bath does not agree, says the
Lancet Many people believe-and it
is an idea that is hard to kili-that a
warm bath at this temperature is
relaxing; but as restorative after
bodily fatigue, especially in hot weather,
or as a means to relieve muscular pain
and tension, it is difficult to find a
better substitute. We go further and
hold that such a bath is better than
open-air bathing for the nervous and
debiIlated, and especially in cases OF
irritabiIity arising from mental worry,
sleeplessness, intemperance and late
hours. And the efficacy of such bath
in lumbago, govt and rheumatism,
paralysis, sclatica aud neuralgia, is time
honored and is capable of everyday
demonstration.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
How Did Newton Hall Sustain Con-
cusSion of the Brain?

Newton w. Hall. young Englishman
who recently returned here from Mexico.
where he had gone on a commission to in
quire into some mines, and was stopping
at the Miramar Hotel. corner of Leaven-
worth and Geary streets, was found on
Saturday afternoon about o'clock lying
on the sidewalk at the corner of Ellis and
Jones streets in an unconscious condition
With cash in the back of his head. due,
it was thought, to drink.
The patrol wagon was summoned, and
Hall was driven to the Receiving Hospital,
where his wound was dressed, and he was
locked up in the City Prison charged with
being drunk. The supposition was that
when he had fallen his head had struck
against the curbstone.
Yesterday morning il was found that
Hall had torn off the bandages round his
head, and he was again taken to the hos
pital, where the wound was redressed, and
as he was still in dazed condition
whereas the effects of drink, if he had
been drinking the previous day. would
have disappeared-th doctors came to the
conclusion that he was suffering from
conclusion of the brain and might die. He
was accordingly placed on a cot at the
hospital.
Friends of Hall called at the hospital
last night to see him, and stated that he
told them he was going out riding Satur-
day afternoon. AS he was in the habit of
using choral he may have taken a dose
before going out riding and fallen from
his horse, thereby receiving the wound in
the back of his head. But if an accident
of that nature happened at 5 o'clock in
the afternoon in such a public place it
could scarcely have escaped notice.
They also said he told them he was
going to collect bill. but did not mention
the amount If he carried out his inten-
ton there was no money found in his
pockets.
There is a mystery surrounding the
case, which the police will endeavor to
clear up.
One OF Halps friends, named Vincent
Frost, started in to make an Investigation
into the case, and lie ascertaiued from
Mrs. Warren. 419 Ellis street, that about
8 O'Clock Saturday afternoon she saw a
man with long black whiskerS throw an
other man down the front steps of the
house 430 Ellis street. She afterward saw
the man who Was thrown out lying on the
sidewalk.
Police Officer Mclean was sent about -
O'Clock last night to make inquiry as 10
the truth of FroSrs statements. He found
no such person as Mrs. Warren at 419 Ellis
street and the landiady at No. 43O denied
that any man had been thrown from her
house OF that man with long black
whiskers lived there. So the mystery is as
deep as ever.

particular. as each owner is prepared to
back his dog for ali it is worth.
A splendid lot Of hares has been secured

lating to the slipping and judging is being
