Great Library In Distress.

An appeal for help has recently been
made by the Bodleian library ut Ok
ford, which is the largest university
library in the world, and is surpassed
by only Eve national libraries, the
Bibliotheque rationale at Paris, the
British museum, the Imperial library
at St. Petersburg, and the royal libra
ries at Munich and Berlin. 1t receives
for all purposes forty-five thousand
dollars year, and needs money to sup
port its staff; touprepare its catalogue
which is now years behind the times;
to heat the portrait gallery; to repair
the building, the finest public edifice Of
the time of James l., and to provide
shelves for books in the Ashmolean
museum, which has just been put at its
disposal. The Bodleian contains over
half million volumes, the separate
titles in the catalogue amounting to q
million and half; the new accessions
of books al,d pamphlets are nearly
sixty million year; 1t has the second
largest numismatic collection in the
British empire. Books and coins are
declared by the librarian to be in a
state of chaos owing to the lack of
funds; the library needs at least
seventy-Ave thousand to be kept ef-
ficient. and he calls on the public for
assistance, ns Oxford, owing to the
agricultural depression, is too poor to
support its own library.

More Elegant.

At the flower market in Washington
are many interesting occurrences which
have nothing to do with buying flow
ers, for there, as at any place where all
sorts Of people gather together, human
nature expresses itself in odd and vary
ing ways. A lady from the north, says
the Youths Companion, who was in
the habit of frequenting the market to
see what new floral treasures would
appear from day to day, one morning
spied flower she had never before
seen. "What is that?" she asked of
the old colored woman who had brought
it in. "That, miss?" was the reply.
''That's Dutchman's breeches." Now
the lady had heard the name before,
and was quite aware that there
was nothing funny in it. Never
theless, there was something about
the present moment that amused
her, and she laughed. just then
gentleman came up and the same
flower attracted his attention. "What's
that?" he asked of the woman. She
hesitated and looked distressed. Evil
IDENTIFY there had been something
wrong about the name before, and now
she was asked to say it again. "It's-

Among the many queer fads OF roy
atty is one possessed by both the late
czar and his brother-in-law, the duke
of SaXe-Coburg- -Gotha, namely, craze
for collecting models Of ships, especially

they are oil of silver; there are some
sixty or seventy of them, several being
three to four feet in length. and they
form an imposing feet in the long gal

Apropos Of the queens recent sojourn
vt Balmoral north Of ScotiSnd news
paper has been cleaning from among
the Deeside peasantry some new stories
about her majesty's early visits to her
Highland residence. One of these re-,
lates to the boyhood Of the prince Of
Wales, says the Scottish American.
The prince on one occasion, when he
had temporarily escaped from the sur
veillance Of the parental eye, played q
trick on young country lad whom he
saw approaching with a basket of eggs
on his arm, the result of the trick be-
ing to break all or most of the eggs.
The lad was tough Aberdonian and
could not brook this injury, so he
turned to and doubling his fists gave
the prince thrashing in spite Of the
latter's protest that he was the prince
of Wales.
"Prince an o. though ye be-" said the
boy, Eyed nae business tae break my
eggs" Just then the queen appeared,
having seen part of the fray. She
quietly said: ''You are quite right, my
lad, he had no right to break your
eggs and he richly deserves what you
have given him" Her majesty after
ward made inquiries about the boy
and sent him to school at her own ex-
pense.
Another story relates toher majesty's
visit to the cottagers in the neigAbor-
hood. On one occasion, when She had
tean making calls prr,onu the cOttape
women, she dropped in, on her way
back to the castle, at the house of an
old woman who did not know her vis-
itor. The old lady was both talkative
and querulous; and, referring to
fete at which the queen had been pre-
sented that day, complained about peo-
pie, including her own household,
running like mad to see common
clay woman" Her grievance was that
she had to wait till her folks returned
in order to get their tea, for she was

A Trick In killing Turkeys That Was Not
Altogether Successful.
A young couple from Chicago bor-
rowed q farm for week not long ago.
Some friends who own little place up
in Wisconsin were going away for a
visit, and they proposed that the young
couple should look up their fat, bring
their servant with them, and enjoy the
snap of an early winter month in the
country.
They went.
They know more now than they did
then.
The owner of the far,n. SAYS the chi
cago Times, stayed fora day and
showed them about, and the departing
host showed his successor very tricky
way of killing q turkey. Instead of chop
ping its head OFF or wringing it in the
old way he took it by the feet and
snapped its head lightly against stone,
Us though it had been whip. The
spinal column was neatly broken with
out any of tho struggles and agonies
usually attendant upon the death Of a
fowl.
The farmer forgot and locked up all
his chickens. taking the key with him.
Only one turkey gobbler was left at
large. 4
That night the city man took him hys
the feet and snapped his head against a
stone. Then he took him to the cook
and told her to give him Il dry pluck
and let him lie in the icebox until
morning. The next morning screams
of terror awoke the visitors. They
sprang out of bed and ran into the hall.
The cook, praying to all the saints,
was stumbling up the stairs. Stalking
majestically after her came the "ghost"
Of the gobbler, without feather on
him. He had only been stunned, and
when the cook lifted the icebox lid in
tho morning he had arisen in his
nakedness and gobbled in her face.

QUICKEST HANGING ON RECORD
Legal Execution Performed Inside OF Four
Aflnutes to Accommodate Reporters.

Legal Execution Performed Inside Of Four
Minutes to Accommodate Reporters.
Capt. j. B. Patten, warden Of the In
diana state prison at Jeffersonvtlles
has the record for experimenting the
quickest legal hanging ever accom-
plished In this or any other country,
says the st. Louis Republic. The laws
Of Indiana prescribe that the death
sentence must he executed between
midnight and the dawn Of the day set
by the court. A man named Stone had
butchered q whole family in Davis
county, of that state, and had been
condemned to death. The case was q
celebrated one, and newspaper men
from Indianapolis and Louisville went
down to Jeffersonville in q perfect
phalanx to witness and report the
famous criminals exit from this vale
Of tears. They arrived in the early
evening, expecting to return to their
homes on train leaving Jeffersonville
about one o'clock, by which time they
expected the execution to be over. To
their intense disappointment and
chagrin they discovered that the last
train they could take departed from
the prison town at twelve o'clock at
night.
Having determined this they set
about arranging matters SO they could
see the hanging and yet catch the
train. They telegraphed the circum-
stances ahead to the conductor, asking
him to hold the train until after the
execution. He consented to hold 1t
five minutes only. They were filed
with despair! Who ever heard Of a
hanging, including prayers, speech
making, etc., in fve brief minutes?'
But, nevertheless, they commenced to
work on Warden Patten. The result
was that everything was at once gotten
ready for sending the murderer to
eternity. Promptly at the stroke of
midnight the parson finished his
prayer; in five more seconds the moose
was around the condemned mans neck,
the black cap drawn, the trap sprung
and in two minutes and twenty-five
seconds the attending physician pro-
nounced the murderer corpse. Car
riages waiting outside the inclosure
bore the reporters to the train in an
other minute, and with nearly seventy
seconds to spare the train pulled out.

RIcN. BUT STOLE A SAUSAGE.
A Queer Case OF Kleptomania Recently
Brought to Light In Paris.

A Queer Case OF Kleptomania Recently
Brought to Light In Paris.
We all have heard in our lives of
kleptomania, but do not think that
anyone ever really believed in it, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph. We know
vaguely that man who steals whole
railroads and dies millionaire is o
great financier, and we also know that
a man who steals loaf of bread to
save his family from starvation is a
thief and goes to jail, but it is hard to
realize that there are people who steal
trifes simply from species of insan-
ity. Yet shining example Of this has
just come to light in Paris. The lady,
whose name for obvious reasons it is
not we'll to mention, is a well known
figure in Paris society.
She is extremely handsome and
public alone. Some member OF her
family always accompanies her and
never leaves her side for an instant, al
though a married woman over thirty
years ef age does not usually require
such minute chaperonage. She is q
very charming woman, and a very
brilliant conversationalist, and is
most deservedly popular here. The
horror of her friends may be guessed
when she was arrested recently on the
Faubourg Montmartre for stealing q
sausage valued ut eight cents from the
front of grocery. The grocer had her
promptly arrested, and on searching
her they found some potatoes, some
eggs, an opera glass, a photograph of
Carnot, a coffee cup and saucer and a
spoon, and also, unhappily, her card
case, giving her full name and address,
the only thing that was legally her
property, as the other articles were
claimed by their rightful owners, from
whom she had annexed them: The
family were sent for, and by paying
fc- the stolen objects were able to re-
lease their poor relative, who sat weep
ing bitterly. 1t seems that this ire
sistible impulse to appropriate other
pcoDle's goods is periodic.

THE SHAKERS IDEAS OF MEDI.
CINE,

Nowadays when a man goes to his doc
tor. he is usually told that he has some
unheard-of disease with a long name, and
when he leaves the Office he does not
know whether 1t is st. Vitus' Dance or
consumption that is gradually undermin-
ing his health.
It is, therefore, refreshing to talk with
the shakers for their very simplicity
commands confidence and respect, and we
have the further satisfaction of knowing
that they have devoted themselves to the
study of disease and its cure for more
than hundred years.
The venerable old man whom the writer
saw was only too glad to discuss his pet
subject. He said that strange as It might
seem, very few doctors realized that
quarters of the most prevalent dis
eases were all attributable to faulty diges-
ton.
He then went on to say that a child of
average intelligence knows that putrid
meat or decaying vegetables are poison
Gus, ana must be avoided, and yet these
same foods, even if taken into the stom-
ach in the freshest possible condition,
soon decompose unless digested and alb
sorbed.
In such cases the resulting poisons en-
ter the system, when aches and pains.
weakness and debility soon follow as a
natural consequence.
It was recognition of this that led the
Shakers to devote their energies to the
perfection of product which would slim
ulate the digestive organs and assist
them to perform their proper work
The first symptom of disordered diges-
ton is loss of appetite, and the Shaker
Digestive Cordial is wonderfully effi-
cient in supplying any deficiency in this
respect, at the same time it relieves all
distress after eating Furthermore, as
was carefully explained by our venerable
friend, IL is absolutely harmless.
Better evidence of the Shakers conf
dence in ii could not be found than in the
fact that they have placed 10-cent sam
pie bottles in the hands of all druggists.
assured that IL once tried II will produce
such immediate and marked benefit that
it will be continued.
