AN ARTISTS SUDDEN DEATH.
EUGENE TANIERE'S BRAINS
DASHED OUT ON FULTON
STREET YESTERDAY.
He LOST CONTROL OF HIS BIcyc1 2
AND RAN INTO AN IRON
BOILER.

Eugene, Taniere, the artist, met with a
very sudden death yesterday afternoon.
Recently he purchased bicycle, and all
has leisure time was taken up in learning
how to ride it. He went out to the park in
the morning, and after spin to the Cliff
House, and back to the Haight-street ter
minus of the car line he started for home.
All went well until he reached Fulton
street. That thoroughfare, in the vicinity
OF Steiner street, is not in good repair.
and the contractors have been at work
laying down bituminous rock. The
boiler and necessary appliances are sta
toned at the corner of Fulton and
Fillmore streets, and everything was in
full blast yesterday afternoon. After
crossing Steiner street Taniere lost control
OF his machine and went down Fulton
street at break-neck pace. AT the cross
ing OF Fulton and Fillmore streets the bicy.
Gle swerved and crashed into the boiler
The machine was a complete wreck and
Tanlere had his brains knocked out against
one OF the iron wheels of the boiler. He
was carried into the nearest drugstore. but
no medical assistance was required. as
death must have been almost instan +

Taniere was well known among the arts

news OF his sudden death will come as a
shock to his numerous friends.

ITS TRACES LINGER LONG.
Why the Grip Is So Much More Feared
Than Many other Diseases That
Affect Us.

If the grip would run its course like another
disease and then go away, leaving no trace be-
hind, it would still be dangerous enough TO
justify all the precautions against 1t. But the
evil that grip does lives after it. People VINO
can't digest their food and complain OF cold
hands and feet or of shattered nerves, or are
tormented by persistent cough, say: 81 nave
never been well since had the grip"
The reason is simple enough. There has been
an immense drain of vital force during the
battle with the disease, and this loss has never
been made good. THUS the weakened body,
like town without Notifications, is open to
the enemy. A second attack OF grip is, for this
reason, more serious than the first. How shall
the harmful consequence of the first battle be
remedied and how shall a second siege be pre-
vented? Here is the answer
''My lungs have been weak Tor four months
after severe attack OF the grip" says Mrs.
Hague of Bridgeport, Pa. HThree weeks ago
/ began using Duffy's Pure Malt Whlskey, and
can highly recommend it. wish had tried
it sooner"
For the benefit of people who like to know
the why and wherefore, it should be said that
Duffy's Pure MaltWhiskey is a medicinal stimu-
LIANT which stirs all the functions OF the body
to such brisk and healthy action that the grip
can find no weak spot to seize upon.
Hard work, anxiety and exposure drag down
the most vigorous constitutions. IL is only
question of time, unless the strength be sus-
tanned by a stimulant that goes to help the
respiratory, digestive and eXeretory organs,
Because Duffys Pure Malt Wh1skey does this
it has robbed the dreaded grip OF its terrors:
Please remember, though, that remedy used
promptly is doubled in value.

at the killing season at the matanza spot.
When cattle were slaughtered, bears came
to the place at night to feast on the meat
that was left after the hides and tallow
were taken. The bears coming, the ran
cheros, with vaqueros, would go there for
the purpose of lassoing them: This was
one of their greatest sports, highly exciting
and dangerous; but the bear always got
the worst of it. One would lasso a
bear by the neck another would
lasso the same beast by the hind foot;
and then, pulling in different directions
the poor bear was soon strained and
strangled to death. Sometimes half a
dozen or more would be taken in single
night in this way.

Effect of the War on Tea.

Some far-Iooking people who are inter-
ested in the tea trade have been consider
ing how the trade is likely to be affected in
the long run by the war which is unhap-
PLY going on between China and her
neighbor, Japan. Of course, during the
progress of hostilities, the cultivation and
preparation of tea for the market by
the Chinese must receive a serious check,
but. how will it be afterward? Will
the striking advantages of the Euro
pean methods as exemplified in the success
of the Japanese forces make the Chinese
more amenable to Western ideas, and
will this have the effect of stimulating
the output OF Chinese tea in competition
with Ceylon and Indian teas through the
introduction of machinery? If the Times
OF Ceylon is to be trusted, the Ceylon
planters are in no fear of increased compe-
tition from this quarter. 1t is pointed out
that machinery always finds it difficult to
compete with efficient coolie labor, and
that in China it costs almost nothing to

about as much money on his chances as

to run away with the race and came very

Man, Monkeys and Primates.

1t is among the great group of the Pri-
mates, which includes both man and the
other monkeys, that the development Of
the hand reaches its highest point; so
much so, indeed, that the Primates as a
group might almost be described as the
hand-possessing animals. Yet as some
vagueness appears to exist in the minds of
persons who have not yet acquired the
higher culture, at Girton or elsewhere, as
to the precise meaning of this biological
term, 1 will venture to explain that it is
the modern name for all that vast group of
leading mammals most nearly related to

WEATHER AFFECTS HEALTH.
Factory Accidents Are More Frequent
in Bad Weather

J. s. Lemon notices the very great infiu-
ence OF weather on the health and tenn er-
ament and through them the customs aid
habits of men of all ages. This is rehectea
in the salutations of all nations, in their
religious ideas, particularly in their con-
ceptions of the future life, and thousand
petty details of everyday existence. It
affects even crime. Suicide is known to
depend largely on the weather, and it has
been calculated that in India As per cent of
certain crimes, disappear when hot
weather gives place to cold. The health
of idiots and those afflicted with acute
mania is especially dependent upon
weather, and its effect on the nervous
system is such that many people can
anticipate weather changes from their
own feelings. Accidents in factories
are said to be much more frequent in
bad weather than in good, and physio-
logical phenomena like knee-jerk seem to
be dependent on it in some measure
Its effect on the appetite is well known
and tea-tasters, who have cultivated the
sense of taste till it has become almost
abnormal say that in good weather this
sense is more delicate than in bad weather

There is said to be law in this State
making it an offense to give away any
object or thing as an inducement to pur-
chase other things, for example, to give
away picture with every certain amount
OF other things purchased. There was
once law which made II an offense for a
man to kiss his wife on Sunday, but was
strangely. silent about kissing some other
mans wife. Many a man still living can
remember when it was not permissible to
open the theaters in Boston on Saturday
evenings, and there was law to punish
any ,dissipated individual found smoking
on the street. Some of these fantastic old
legal freaks have been done away with,
but there are some communities which,
like some individuals, require an uncon-

She sat right opposite a bashful-looking

looked at him SO steadily for five minutes
that he grew impatient. Finally she
shifted the marketbasket, two bundles
and stalk of celery to the seat beside her

the conductor, as she climbed off the car.
But the young man didn't think so. He

seemed relieved as he started up the car
again.

Coquelin a warwick in REALTY.

M..Coquelin, who in his time has PLAYED

the French papers. But for him, it is said.
the present President of the French re.
public would never have attained to his
elevated position. 1t was in this wise:
Twenty years ago M. Felix Faure, then
respectable tradesman at Havre, used to
run up to town now and then, and when he
did he seldom failed to go to the Coincide
Franchise. In the greenroom, to which
he obtained access through a friend. he
made the acquaintance of M. Coquelin.
The actor, as is well known, was one of NJ.
Gambetta's most intimate friends One
day NJ. Coquelin said to NJ. Faure: Come
and see me between the first and second
acts, and will introduce you to some one
who will be interested to know you." The
''some one" was M. Gambetta, who after
ward induced M. Faure to enter upon a
parliamentary career, and helped him
forward in it.-London Daily News.
