FER STRANGE QUEST.
Bound by Mighty Oath to Kill Her Ras-
cally Father.

cally Father.
There seems to be colony of one legged
people-men and boys and girls-in Chi
cago just now.
OF late this crippled brigade has been
augmented by several one legged girls.
They are begging, on one crutch, in vari-
GUS sections of the city
The one seen on Wabash avenue and
Jackson street recently is a newcomer and
interesting. She is 10 years old and has
her left leg and cru w. to get about on.
She has that look in her face which senti-
mentalists call the poetry of Italy. She is
Italian, and she speaks that language only.
She is flower girl In her hand she car
ries punches of lilacs--the flower of the
day - and sometimes carnations. She
wears broad brim hat and twined about
the crown is a wreath of artificial forget
menots. Although she speaks no Eng
lish, she knows American coin and can
make small change.
An Italian fruit vcndcr on near corner
who can talk a little English was asked to
interview her. If she didn't lie to him,
and if he didn't lie to the writer, this one
legged girls story is of interest. Her IA

she was about 3 years old. He promised
to send for his wife and child within two
years. He has never been heard of since.
The mother, unable to come to this couD-
try. sent this child, who, according to the
fruit vcndcr, came under q terrible oath.
She is looking for her father, PictrO RO-
nell She reached New York, and for
quito awhile she remained there selling
newspapers, and when her days work was
over she secured the Italian quarter night
after night in search of her father. One
night she was run down by an engine, and
her right leg was mangled. She was taken
to the hospital. The leg was amputatCd.
No one seemed to know her or care for her,
and she was booked to die. No one cared
to ask her whence sho camo, and she did
not tell anything. She recovered. Her
mother sent her some moneyand told her
to keep up her search.
She went to Chicago two months ago
and lives with an Italian colony in South
Clark street Her mother sends her lit
tie money every six weeks. 1t is not sent
to her, but to an official, who gives it to
her as he thinks she needs it. She stands
where she does on account of the traffic Of
the Illinois Central road. With one hand
she supports her crutch; with the other
hand she offers the clusters of flowers. Her
attire is cheap of course, but it fits, for a
wonder. She has few communications,
preferring, apparently, to be alone.
The old fruit vendcr says the girl is re-
ligious. He means that she goes to church
Sunday, and in the evening she saunters
about, looking intcntly on the faces of her
countrymen.
The old vendcr who had acted as trans
lator said rather dramatically that some
time this girl would find her father, and
that her oath would compel her to kill
him, and then she would go back to Italy.
He could not understand why, in case of
such murder, she should not be allowed
to return to Palermo and live with her
mother.-Chicago Tribune.

Automatic Restaurant.

Europe's first automatic restaurant has
been open for week and appears to be ar
immense success. At the Italian exhibi.
ton in Berlin this peculiar mechanical
eating house attracts large crowds. Its
aspect is certainly curious. A number Of
nickel in the slot machines are arranged
in rows around the walls and dispense
sandwiches, wines or liquors, and even a
cup of hot coffee.
1t is not necessary to wait for the wait
er to get meal. A nickol-hero 10 pfen-
nigs or 213 ccnts-put in the slot of the
respective machine will clean the plate,
rinse the cup or glass and wipe it dry be-
fore the customers eyes. What a bowling
success it is may be gathered from the fact
that on Sunday, the 18th inst, the sales
amounted to 5, 400 sandwiches of different
kinds, 5000 glasses of wine and cordials
and 90, 600 cups of coffee.-Cincinnati En-
quirer.

A DEADLY DISEASE,
Paresis Seems to BE the Great Evil of Our
Times.

Paresis Seems to BE the Great Evil of Our
Times.
In connection with the cocksure state
ment of MIR. Howclls that the present race
was never so healthy and strong as now it
is interesting to read the following para
graph, written by DR.. T. S. Clouston, SUI
pcrintendent of the Morningsidc asylum
Scotland. He says:
Zone terrible form of brain diSSase, with
mental symptoms, is certainly increasing.
That malady may be described as n break
down of the great center Of mind and mo-
ton in the brain. 1t always goes on from
bad to worse till it renders its victim ut
tcrly helpless in mind and body and kills
him in few years. No cure and scarcely
any mitigation of this latter day curse has
been devised. 1t is a disease of cities, Of
restless lives, Of active brains i'll their
prime, sometimes of dissipation and de-
bauchery, Of life at high pressure COM
monty"
During the past year tho asylums of
Scotland received $50 new cases, those Of
England l, 400, and those of Ireland 80.
The asylum statistics of this country show
an even greater number.
In single asylum in New York, for cx-
ample-that at Ogdcnsburg-thcrc were
among the G59 admissions 81 cases of gen
eral parcsis. This would make the proper
ton of general paresis over per cent.
Among seven state asylums, to which
1912 patients were admitted in 1890, there
were &C cases of general parcsis, or little
over per cent. If 4 per cent be the gen
eral ratio for this disease in the state of
New York, then the total number Of pa
retics among the 10000 insane would be
about $40. As matter of fact, the num-
Der is much greater because the proportion
of this disease is larger in the New York
and Kings county asylums than in those
of the state at large But even if there
were but 1000 cases of general parcsis
among the 100000 insane Of this country
it would be an extraordinary evidence of
the development of a disease which. in tho
last century, was certainly not known,
even if it did exist.-Medical Record.

SECOND SUMMER.
Most Critical Year in the
Baby's Existence,
At no Time 50 Liable to Sudden
Intestinal Disorders.
The Earliest Victims TO Cholera
Infantum,
Extraordinary Care with Baby's
Food Essential.

Weaving baby in summer is attended
with peril when heat and improper feed
ing cunspire to derange the sensitive
stomach.
AS warm weather comes on, children
require the most wholesome, nOurishing
and palatabe diet possible, and lactated
food should be in the hands of every
mother. Sudden changes in the atmos-
phere are dangerous above all things to
infants whose digestive apparatus is out
of order, and the use of lactated food is
especially to be commended because of
its corrective influence in cases of irri-
liability of the stomach.
Then, too, the mother who has tried
hard to nurse her child, but growing
weak and losing her appetite until she is
nearly worn out, and finds now that she
must wean her infant while the days and
nights are growing hotter aud more and
more debilitaung can do so, as thousands
of mothers have done before, upon lac
tated food.
The infant will like it and grow strong
and happy upon it. The composition of
lactated food is simply this: Its basis is
sugar OF milk with it is combined the
digestive elements Of wheat, barley and
oats, producing pure food which meets
every requirement Of the growing child.
There is no secret about it. 1t is the
food physicians use in their own families
and IN st generally prescribe.
Thousands of mothers have testified to
the fact that lactated food has done what
nothing else could do-saved the lives of
their little ones.
No better evidence can be afforded of
its superiority than the many instances
in which fretful, peeviSh and ,leepiess
babies, as soon as put on lactated food,
sleep all night and wake up laughing.
The happy change, physicians say, is
solely due to the superior nOurishing
and satisfying qualities of this best IF
foods.
1t must be borne in mind that lactated
food is so inexpensive that it is within
the reach of every family.

NEW DEVICE FOR SHIPS.
An Anchor Which, When Fired From a
Gun, Will Carry a Line Ashore.

Gun, VIII Carry a Line Ashore.
Thousands of human lives have been
sacrificed because of tho absence of a suit
able apparatus for establishing communi-
cation between stranded vessel and tho
shore, but an invention has now been pat
entcd which, it is believed, will effect this
purpose Hitherto resort has been had to
the bomb, which carries line from the
shore to the stranded ship, so that a
breechcs buoy can be rugged to land pas
sengcrs and crew in safety. All of our
life saving stations are equipped with this
apparatus which has saved many lives and
justified itself.
But the ship that is driven ashore upon
an uninhabited beach can have no hope of
such succor. The surf raging during o
storm makes landing in boat impossible,
and the bomb which flies through the air
affords the only hope for the crew. The
aim of the inventor of the new apparatus
is to equip every vessel with gun and
bomb, so that she is not dependent upon
life saving crew ashore.
The new gun fires a long and heavy pro-
jeCtile, which in reality is an anchor. The
arms of this anchor spring into place as
soon as it leaves the muzzlc of the gun,
and it will bury itself on the shore or in
the sand in shallow water. Even on a
rocky coast such an anchor is pretty sure
to catch in some crcvice. If it does not so
catch, it may be hauled back to the ship
and again fired, and this may be repeated
until good anchorage is found
The projectile carries light line along
with it, or rather two lengths of the same
line, each end of which is kept aboard the
ship. This line runs over pulley in the
heavy bomb, and as soon as the latter has
firmly anchored itself the crew aboard the
ship have established communication with
the shore.
1t is the invention of Anton Schmitt of
Butler, n. j., to whom patent has been
granted.-New York World.

The Morning Bird.

A bird sat in the maple tree,
And this was the song he sung to me:
"Oh, little boy, awake, arise!
The sun is high in the morning skies;
The brooks aplay in the pasture lot
And wonderful that the little boy
1t loveth dearly comoth not
To share its turbulence and joy;
The grass hath kisses cool and sweet
For truant little brown bare feet,
So come o child, awake, arise!
The sun is high in the morning skies"
So from the yonder maple tree
The bird Kept singing unto me,
But that was very long ago.
did not think, l did not know,
Else would not have longer slept
And dreamt the precious hours away;
Else would from my bed have leapt
To greet another happy day
A day untouched Of care and ruth,
With sweet companionship of youth
The dear old friends which you and l
Knew in the happy years gone by.
Still in the maple can be heard
The music of the morning bird,
And still the song is Of the day
That runnoth DER with childish play,
Still of each pleasant old time place
And Of the old time friends l knew
The pool where hid the furtive dace,
The lot the brook went scamporing
through,
The mill, the lane, the Bellflower tree
That used to love TO shelter me, -
And all those others | knew then,
But which l cannot know again.
Alas, from yonder maple tree
The morning bird sings not to me,
Else would his ghostly voice prolong
An evening, not a morning song,
And he would tell Of each dear spot
knew so well and cherished then,
AS all forgetting, not forgot,
BY him who would be young again.
o child, the voice from yonder tree
Calleth to you and not to me.
So wake and know those friendships all
/ would to God could recall.

A LOADED EAGLE.
For Weeks He Travelled With a Steel
Trap on His Right Leg.

For Weeks he Travelled With Steel
Trap on His Right Leg.
An eagle measuring seven feet from tip
to tip and Juggling with him as he flew a
heavy steel trap was recently shot by H.
Cooley, u division superintendent of the
Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Cooley was hunting on Mount
Shasta, near Sisson, Cal, when he saw u
big bird rise slowly from the ground. Tho
bird was big enough to be an eagle, but
his slow rate of flight did not agree with
Mr.. Cooley's experience of the nature and
characteristics of tho eagle bird of freedom
that looks at the sun and says, "Ha! ha'
or words to that effect However, he shot
the thing and satisfied himself that it was
an eagle, a good deal hampcred in his
flight by n heavy steel trap that had been
snapped on the right leg of the bird where
it hung and tapped and tangled. Fastened
to the trap were some links of an iron
chain that had been broken by the bird in
his efforts to free himself.
The tremendous power of the eagles
wings was shown by the fact that he was
able to break this chain without any of
the impetus that might be gained in a
long flight
For weeks the bird had carried the trap
on his leg, as was shown by the fact that
the scar made by the jaws Of the trap on
the leg had almost healed. How the bird
was able to live during that time is not
clear, for he was so greatly hampcred in
his flight as to make it difficult to catch
his natural prey.
All the arteries but one in the leg had
been severed by the jaws of the trap, but
that one was enough to supply blood to the
claw.
Mr.. Cooley cut off the birds foot and
sent it with the trap attached to the office
of the fish and game commission in the
Flood building, where it may be seen.-
