DR. SALlsBURYS WORDS.

Anyone who has ever met Dr. Sails bury will never forget him. Although over 80, he has as bright a mind and in- telleet as most younger men. Of course, every one knows him as the inventor of hot water cure and the Salisbury steak. and that he Is the authority on digeS- tion and stomachic troubles.
 .tI studied the subject direct from na- ture," he said. Tn order to know just how much nourishing power there was in various foods, 1 employed four men whose only duty it was to remain in the house with me and eat such food only as l directed. They thought they had se- cured the finest kind of a position. I be- gan by taking a diet of beans. and in thirteen days there was not man who could walk across the room. l myself was nearly prostrated. After recovery we tried various other vegetables. A person can live eighteen days on oat meal and twenty days on cracked wheat"
 What are the most 1nhealthful things doctor?" was asked
 ''The most unhealthful vegetable in the world is asparagus. No man or woman can exist to exceed seven days on this insidious vegetable. Why it is that peo- pie have gotten the idea that 1t Is health full cannot understand, unless it is from the peculiar odor it gives to the fluids that pass from the body. Some people believe 1t is healthful for the kidneys, but there is nothing which I know of that Is more injurious. As for beef it is sustaining and streng thening. and in valids should take it as much as possible and avoid such vegetables as they know to be unhealthful."

Beneath the Hailr.

Disappointing is a glance beneath the haik of Moorish maiden. The faces of the Moorish women arc too broad to be beautiful. Their eyes are dark and lus- trous but every device of art is used to give them the appearance they present. In the street to the curious stranger. Art also generally supplies the complexion. The eyelashes are luxuriant, and the eye brows finely arohed. The mouth is large, but the teeth are beautifully white. In the middle of the forehead and on the chin are generally two tattoo marks of peculiar device-the distinctive badge or crest of the family to which the individual be- longs.
 Whatever may be said of its women, Tangier has long been famous in the an- nals of art. Hefe Regnault painted his " "Executioners" and Fortuny his "Snake Charmers and here also Alma Tadema is said to have received the inspiration for many of his characteristic combinations of color. The chief hunting ground of the brotherhood is the sok but at every street corner innumerable scenes present them selves worthy of artistic treatment.-Good Words

For Mental Worry.

An eminent physician of the last cer- tury, Dr. Mansendah in an exhaustive treatise on "The Physical and Mental Treatment of tho Human Body" gave remedy for mental worry as follows: "Let the sufferer think of the person whom he or she loves best, dwell upon his or her charms and graces, cogitate deeply upon tho affection one bears for the other" The good doctors postscript however, suggest cd want of faith either in himself or his patients for it reads: "If this does not have soothing effoot, then let the patient try small draft of strongly brewed tea, with lump of ginger in it. The efficacy of this is wonderful" an encomium, by the way, which he did not bestow upon the first paragraph. New York Times.

Montgomery Wants the Game.

It is very probable that the great game of football arranged between Auburn and Tuskaloosa to take place in Tuskaloosa on Saturday, November 23, will be trans ferred here. The faculty at Auburn, after much wrangling, has consented for the Auburn team to play here, and it now only remains for the faculty at the uni- versity to do the same.
 There is much local interest here taken in athletics and especially football, and there is no doubt that if the game takes place here that there will be large crowd to witness it from this city and the sur rounding towns.

FIVE HUNDRED FILIBUsTERs

Well Armed and Equipped With Dynamite
 Left for Cuba.
 Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 15.-A cable gram to the Times Union from Key West, Fla, says
 The Times-Union correspondent is re- liably informed that an expedition con- sisting of between 800 and 600 men well equipped left Cudjoes on Monday for Cuba. It is stated that besides of plenty of ammunition, rifles, matches, etc., they carried considerable dynamite. On Sat urday midnight flash lights were seen by parties on the south beach in the d- rection of the reef, which caused it to be reported in the city that some vessel in distress was signalling for assistance. Several pilot boats left for the direction in which the lights were seen, but at day light Sunday they could see nothing to indicate an accident. It is now reported that the signals were intended for the men on the Keys and for them to get ready.
 The name of the steamer which car ried the expedition is known to some of the prominent Cubans, but they refuse to talk on the subject and profess to be surprised at the report. These men are some of the same captured on the schooner Lark and Antoinette, who i'm mediately upon being released by the United States commissioner before whom they were tried for alleged viola ton of the neutrality laws, left for the Keys and remained there until Monday of this week, where they were constantly drilled in military tactics by General Cuspere, an ex-captain in the French army.
