Pictures by an Armless Painter.

A remarkable art exhibition is an
nounced at Bristol. 1t is an exhibit
tion of thirty paintings by Mr..
Bartram Hiles, an artist who, while
quite boy, met with an accident by
which he lost both arms. Having
from childhood shown strong dis
positian and love for drawing, he
was taken in hand by some artistic
friends and taught to draw, holding
the pencil in his mouth. After a
time be became a student at the
Merchant Venturers' Schools, and
studied 20 assiduously that he wS1 a
National Scholarship, value GO4,
which also carries the privilege OF
studying at the National Art Train
ing School at South Kenslngton for
two years. during which time he also
won one national silver medal and
two national bronze medals. In con-
sideration Of his having won these
hOnors, the authorities at South Ken
sington sent him to Paris for some
months to study at the museums,
paying all his expenses. The armleSs
painter at Antwerp Is we'll known;
but it will be news to many people to
hear of an English artist c0ntending
with the same disability.-St. James
Gazette.

FIVE QUARRYMBN KILLED.
A Fatal Accident in a Slate Mine in
Williamstown, Pa.

While seven quarrymen were at work In
the slate quarry of owen I. Williams q Sons.
at Williamstown, Lehigh county, Pa, the
top caved in, burying Joseph Reamley, Sam
uel Kreitz, Griffith o. PrItchard, WIN. R.
Jones and three Hungarlans.
The men were working in tunnel, the
roof OF which seemed firm and strong.
Without warning, soon after the men went
to work, the roof caved In near the opening,
completely filling the mouth OF the tunnel.
Jones was nearest the opening and In less
danger than the other men. When the
rescuers began work he was brought out OF
the tunnel, but was horribly cut and squeezed
aud he may not recover. Reamley was next
reached. He was all but dead.
While the rescuers were digging toward
him he conversed with them. He could not
see his other buried companions and could
not tell their fate. Kreitz was the third man
reached. He was dead, crushed oud mangled
horribly

Two STUDENTS of Princeton Coz
lege were lately fined $50 for i'll treat
ing a Chinaman. What spoils the
good effect Of this action is the in
comprehensive remarks of the Judge
when the students were brought be-
fore him. He objected to the con-
sideration of such cases. and said
that the college authorities ought to
have punished the students without
calling in the aid Of the law. 1t is
lust this idea that college students
are not like ether citizens amenable
to civil laws that has cen a prolific
source Of demoraizat on in cities
where colleges are found. Nobody
should be above obedience to law and
nobody should be beneath its pro-
tecting shield.

Since the original fall of man we have had
some signal examples of great falls-not 10
include Niagara or the immense fall in values
which the times have brought about in the
nature OF accidents which wayIay men at all

back. The use of st. Jacobs Oil completely
cured him. Mr.. G. Roeder, 600 S. 18th St.,

The Senate after a debate Of over two
hours. engrossed the bill chartering the Rich

back opposed the bill upon the ground TINT
It was n scheme to enable the people at the
back Of the proposed new line to become
purchasers OF the States interest In the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Road,
and thought that the Richmond and Manas-

at any rate, OF selling the States interest in
the former road before charter was granted
to this now line.
Mr.. McIwaine made a short speech in
favor OF the measure, as did also Mr.. Watts
and Mr.. Hay.
Mr.. Little OF Fredericksburg, made Wig
orous fight against the bill, saying that it
would in q great meas ure destroy the COM

A Folly of Fashion.

The quantity of rouge worn during
the recent Ascot week was the sub
iect of much comment The fashion
of painted cheeks and lips has been
revived with much intensity this
season, and the coloring seems to be ap-
piled without discretion, so palpabIe
is the artifice. 1t has been suggested
that the very numerous and brilliant
tints combined in dresses and on hats
have induced this method OF playing
up to them, in order to prevent the
face from being completely extin-
guished by the bright colors. The
effect. however. is far from pleasing.

Changes in the Road Law Suggeste

Changes in the Road Law Suggested
In the Senate Mr.. Barry made a report
from the special committee appointed TO con-
slider changes necessary to be made In the
present road law by reason of a recent de-
cision of the Court OF Appeals declaring As
unconstitutional the law compelling citizens
TO work on the country roads. The COM
mittee reported two bills, one general law
amending section 978 Of the code so as to
give to supervisors the right to levy as much
as 20 cents instead of Is cents, as under the
present law, on the SOD for road purposes.
The bill was passed under a suspension Of
the rules.
The other billsproyldcs that where counties
have special road laws the board OF super
visors miy, in their discretion, adopt the
geners&1aw as above.

The Site of Venice.

The city of Venice is approached from
behind by a railroad constructed over a
stretch of swamp Out beyond this swamp
was another swamp which was little
higher. 1t had been out of the water lon
ger and had caught enough of seaweed,
sand, shells and sediment to be fit for birds
to nest on. There was one island called
the Rialto, which was really quite secure,
and around this one there were said to be
about 75 or so other islands which today
are occupied by the city of Venice. Some
of these were originally not islands at all
They we're mere high places in a great
bog, which, by the cutting of channels and
by artificial means, were converted into
more or less fit places for the erection of
buildings.
Without consulting history one could al
most guess that such an unfavorable spot
as this was not selected as the site for city
out of free choice, and indeed it was not
Venice was started during the fifth and
sixth centuries. The inhabitants of Padua
and few more north Roman cities, chased
out by the Huns, the Goths and other
tribes Of barbarians, took refuge here in an
Adriatic lagoon. The savages of Asia had
no boats, SO that the settlement was very
safe, and leading an Independent life pros

It.was monstrous work to make the
city secure from the sea- Ship loads of
stone were brought from other coasts.

and the residents finally got enough of dry
land about them to feel moderately safe.

MISCELLANEOUS.
WHAT is NAL -NUTRITION?

Mal-nutrition means that the food you
eat does not nourish you. The plain
English of it is starvation.
Everybody who is thin suffers from mall
nutrition. Everybody who is getting thin
ner than he ought to be suffers from NAL
nutrition.
Doctors have given itmany learned names:
Anaemia, Dyspepsia, Phthisis, Diabetes.
1t is all mal-nutrition.
To learn how to re a disease We must
first find out the 5e of it. The cause of
your food not noui ming you? What can it
be that you do no. digest it? And how
can we possibly help you, if you cannot
digest your food? BY giving you food that
is already digested.
Cod liver oil and other fatty food is Of
ten given to people who suffer from mai MAJ
Iutrition. But it never does them any per-
manent good. The reason is plain. FatS
and oils are the most 1nd1gesti lie Oh all
foods. They cannot be pre-digested. You
cannot help a tired horse by. giving HIM
more work to do. Nor a tired stomach
either.
If your stomach cannot nourish your body
with ordinary food, you must take food that
will nourish it in spite Of your stomach.
PASkOLA is such food.
If PASkOLAwere fatty food it would
be no better than cod liver oil PasKohdAi .o 4
gest starch food. PAShOLA is pre-digested.
PAShOL - contains natural ferments
that help to digest other food.
Of the three great classes of foods,
Starches, Albumcns, Fats. only one has any
effect in the diseases of mal-nutrlt1on: :
THE STARCHE5. If we want to get fat
we must have starch food. If we
suffer from malnutrition we must have
PASkOLA
PASkOLA is not a medicine, and does not
contain any drugs. 1t is pleasant natural
food, prepared from richest grains and
certain kinds of fruit. 1t has been pre-
scrioed by eminent physicians, and is rapid
ly taking the place of drugs in all cases of
mal-nutrition

MARY's MISTAKE.

Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow;
It strayed away one summer uay
Where lambs should never go
Then Merry sat her quickly down
And tears streamed from her eyes:
She never found the lamb. because
She did not advertise.
And Mary had a brother John,
Who kept a village store;
He sat him down and smoked his pine
And watched the open door.
And as the people passed along
And did not stop to buy,
John still sat down and smoked his pipe.
And blinked his sleepy eye.
And so the sheriff closed him out,
But still he fingered near.
And Mary came TO drop with him
A sympathetic tear.
"How is it, sister, can you tell
Why other merchants here
Sell all their goods so readily
And thrive from year to year?''
Remembering her own bad luck
r The little maid replies:
"Those other fellows get there, John,
Because they advertise"
