Peculiar European Law.

The extraordinary announcement that
has recently appeared in the German
papers to the effect that, by virtue of a
decree obtained from the courts, Baron
Albert Won Ohlendorf had disinherited
and disowned his eldest son, the Baron
Oscar Won Ohlendorf, on account of his
extravaganza, habitual drunkenness and
general misconduct, is necessary, &C
cording to Teutonic law, in order to
render imperative the claims, which
the young man would otherwise possess,
upon his parents property. On the con-
tinent Of Europe parents are held to
have certain obligations, 50 far as prop
erty and maintenance are concerned,
toward the children whom they have
brought into the world, and disinherit-
ance is only permitted when the sane
ton of the courts has been obtained "a
sanction given in such cases as the
above alone or where the son has be-
come a criminal Letter.

Sorry said he, but can't let you
have it. -
why not?'' and the young man was
greatly astonished.
Because you have disappointed me,
and I don't want to be disappointed
again.
The borrower was more surprised
than ever.
"What do you mean by being disap-
pointed?'' he asked
'This,'' explained the money man.
Il let you have that $40, not expecting
ever to get it back again, and I did

Blood as q Medicine.

LET me have three ounces of that
bottled blood qu1ek!' bids fair yet to
become a not uncommon order in the
corner drug store. According to a well
known Philadelphia physician, startling
progress has been made in blood healing,
or hematherapy. BLOOD is not only
hfe,' he declares, but lives itself in
dependently. It is highly organized
living tissue simply in the transition
state It can be made to live apart from
the body indefinitely in perfect condi-
ton and can then be returned into any
tissue by any opening at any time, when
it will instantly resume its full creative
activity. It can even be swallowed
when the patient, suffering from drain
ing of blood or hemorrhages, can take
no other drink. Death from blood star
walton will one day be exceedingly rare
indeed, and these corked up vital corpus
cles will be used not only for immi-
nent1y dangerous but for inhactable
lingering cases Philadelphia Record.

"Sacred" Water Analyzed.


A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England Of the Zem-Zem water
from the sacred we'll at Mecca, which,
according to the Arabs, is the well that
the angel showed to Hagar, and whose
water saved the life Of Ishmael. After
reading the results of this analysis one
cannot wonder that pilgrims who drink
the water are frequently attacked by
cholera
The specimen examined, which was
Theoretically sealed in tin bottles 40
years ago by Sir Richard Burton during
his visit to Mecca in the disguise of a
dervish, contained 50 grains of chlorine
to the gallon Water which contains so
little as 9 grains of chlorine to the gal
lon is ordinarily regarded as scarcely fit
for human consumption
Moreover, in the case of the ZEN Fem
well, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom Of pouring
the water over the pilgrims and allow
ing it to run back into the we'll The
sacred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree OF hardness, -
three times as great as that of average
water. It also held 30 times as much
ammonia compounds as drinking water
should contain.
No bacteria were discovered, but this
IS accounted for by the fact that the
water had remained for so long a time
sealed up in entire darkness. Forty
years of such confinement had complete
~ sterilized it, but the chemical i'm
purities remained Compan-
