that dyspeptic nature is heir to. Ac-
cording to him, the practice of begin

tension of the stomach that is fatal to
the process of digesting tho solids

How q Snake Eats a Frog.

How snake eats frogs is worth the
telling. The writer distinctly remem-
bers witnessing a dramatic meal of this
kind, in which, of course, the snake
came out the winner, getting his dim
ner in excellent style and completely
vanquishing the frog.
The snake invariably grabs the frog
by one of his hind legs. This prelim-
mary struggle is one of the most i'm
pressive features of the combat. With
a we'll Agfned natural instinct the chief
effort of the frog is to keep his other
hind leg far away from the snakes
mouth, in the hope that he may speed
lily exhaust his enemy's strength, and
also because he feels that if his other
hind leg is made captive he will have
less power to fight.
Once both hind legs are within the
serpent's fangs the act of swallowing
begins. Inch by inch the struggling
frog is drawn further into the yawn-
ing orifice that expands ateach gulp.
The channel through which the frog
hos to pass is gradually enlarged by
slow efforts on the snakes part, ac-
companied by tiercer and tiercer con-
vusions of the wretched wiggler.
The gullet of the snake in its nat
ural proportions is quite large enough
to contain the limbs of the frog, but
as by frquent gulps the body is drawn
further and further into the gullet the
difficulty of swallowing increases.
Gradually the ophidian's throat is dis
tended, gradually the frog is COM
pressed and drawn out. Finally the
latter is double its normal length and
half his circumference. AS the
process of expansion on the one hand
and contraction on the other goes on,
the frog is worked down little, by
little until he is finally "Jonahed, "
| and the snake starts in on his after
noon nap. New York World.

PhOtOgraphing Deep Sea Life.

NJ. Louis Bontan, the naturalist
who studies the wild life of the Medi-
terranean in the garb of diver, has
now succeeded in taking some photo
graphs of the sea bottom. He uses a
flash light obtained from spirit lamp
and magnesium powder, which is COW
cred by water-tight bell jar. The
lamp stands on barrel containing
oxygen gas, which he employs to light
the lamp and the pneumatic shutter of
the camera. He breathes through the
supply pipe of the driving dress. The
camera is er-tight, and stands on a
tripod near the barrel, SO that he can
work the shutter and the flash light
together.

A BROKEN ENGAGEMENT
BY CLYDE HUNTER.

A day in June, the month of roses,
the air all fragrant with their deli
cious perfume; above, the sky one
mass of foecy clouds, cleaning and
white upon their azure background.
By the side of tiny lake upon
whose bosom water lilies rest their
snowy chalices are two ladies', one old
and one in the first exquisite dawn of
the loveliness womanhood has brought
her. Truly, Florence Adair is beauti-
full in every sense of the word.
There is an expression of loving
pride in the old lady's eyes as she
looks at her niece that is certainly
justifiable. She draws her closer to
her side.
"Flossie, darling, 1 have to thank
you for making me inexpressibly
happy" she says. "Rupert has told
me-"
faint crimson rises to the girls
cheek us, averting her face from her
aunt's gaze, she says softly:

about it just yet. 1t is SO new. I

childless widow she calls aunt, receiv-
ing all of mothers love and tender
ness, and giving in return an adoring
affection that would pause at no sac
rifce to prove its strength. And thus
it is that, solely to please her to whom
she owes SO much, she has betrothed
herself to the husband Mrs. Wilmott
has chosen for her.
In her youth, when old Mrs. Will
mott had been fair and attractive, she
had had two suitors. of whom the most
assidious had won the day.
The other lived for years lonely,
disappointed man, until at length he,
loo married.
A son had been born to him, who at
the aoa of eighteen had been left an
o. han.
But that SON Rubert Ludlow had
not had an opportunity to know want;
for old memories stirring within her,
and inclining her tenderly toward
him, Mrs. Wilmott had taken his well
fare into her own hands.
And now she makes no secret of the
lelight she feels in the consumma-
tion of her favorite scheme.
1t was Mrs. Wilmott's desire that
her niece's engagement should not be
announced just at present.

Wilmotts lively summer home; but
now the month is October, and the
country has given place to the gayer
attractions to the city.
1t is evening, and the drawing
rooms of one of fashions leaders are
thronged by those whom the cards OF

Two gentlemen stand at little dis
tance from the hostess, watching the
arrivals. One is slender and boyish;
tie other, Mr.. Heatherton, tall and
stately, impresses the beholder at once
with the certainty that he is no ordl-
nary character.

her loved niece, came, and Florence
was cast upon the world to battle her
own way as best she could.

Five pears have elapsed. In the
home of a wealthy widow with one
daughter, we again meet our heroine
the humble capacity of seamstress.
Poor Florence her struggle has
been hard one. At first she had
tried for and obtained position as
teacher; but her health failing under
the unaccustomed confinement, she
had been obliged to turn to her needle
as last resort.
In few days Rosemarie Villa is to
be the scene of wedding festivities, to
witness the union of the daughter of
the house, Marie, to the husband of
her choice.
The day arrives. The ceremony is
over, and the rooms are thronged
with the gayly costumed guests, when,
desirous to avoid notice, and feeling
| the sadder for the recollections of
former days the billiant scene recalls,
Florence slips out into the quiet gar
den, and makes her way to distant
arbor, where only the faintest sound
of the dance-music penetrates. She
enters, and starts back to find it al
ready occupied by gentleman and an
elderly lady.
She turns to go /; but an exclamation,
in voice whose well-remembered
music falls upon her ear with vivid ef-
feet, stays her steps.
"Miss Adair, can it be that at last
my prayers have been answered, and L
have found you?"
Then, answering the surprise in the
eyes which she lifts to his face, Max
Heatherton-for it is he-takes her
hand gently, and goes on with eager
rapidity:
81 heard of your aunt's death and
that you were free, and l sought you
ut once, but to find you gone, in what
| direction l could not ascertain. Do
you know why it was that am more
| disappointed than 1 can tell? 1t was
because of your expressive face and
manner, when you told me of your
engagement, showed me that your
heart was not in it, and 1 dared to
hope that my enduring love would
eventually win the day. You do not
| speak. Have l been too presumptous
or is there a possibility that in the
future may gain the boon I crave?
But stay, in my eagerness am for
getting propriety. Miss Adair this is
my mother. A half hour ago, feeling
faint with the heat of the crowded
rooms, she requested me to bring her
to some cool, secluded spot, and we
came here. Mother, this is the Miss
Adair of whom l have spoken to you
so often"
Then Florence, who had been stand
ing listening to the above almost in
dream, feels her hand drawn into q
gentle clasp, while n sweet voice says
softly:
81 am more than pleased to meet
the girl who has won, by her goodness
and beauty, such lasting place in my
sons heart, and 1 hope that we may
grow to know each other WELL"
Not at once does Florence give her
wooer an answer, but when it comes
it is very fervent and satisfying.
"You have always been my idea of
everything noble and gooo. and as
your wife | cannot help but he con-
tent"
SO the love that endured conquered
in the end, and one more married pair
testify each day that passes to the true,
heart-deep happiness a congenial
union brings. New York Journal.

LAWYER WAKEFIELD IN TOWN.
Brought Down from HilO Last Night
to Make a Statement.

FIN. Wakefield, an attorney of
Hilo, arrived by the Kinau last
night in charge of Detective Van
Giesen, who went mp on the last
trip of the vessel to deliver a guam
tity of arms and ammunition to
the authorities at that point. Van
Geisen had instructions to bring
Wakefield to Honolulu for investi.
CATION. If any protest was en-
tered by him against the action of
the authorities, he was to be placed
under arrest.
When the Kinsu arrived at Ma
hnkona on her up trip, Van Geisen
lelephoned to Sheriff Williams at
Hilo that Wakefield was wanted,
and to see that he didn't get away.
The sheriff insisted upon knowing
the charge against Wakefield, but
Van Geisen refused to give the in
formation. Upon the mere state
ment that the man was wanted,
Sheriff Williams arrested Wake
field Oh a charge of treason on
Wednesday morning. He was kept
confined in the sherlff's house, and
all intercourse refused him until
Thursday morning, when Van Gel
sen arrived and was then released
after proper explanation by the
detective.
Wakefield will be Intercepted by
the authorities while in the city.
He is not under arrest at the pres
ent time, or likely to be.

Many suffer from serious disorders
of the liver and stomach. Impurities
in the blood tend to poison the vital
fluid. The failure Of the organs to
properly remove the waste from the
system allows the germs of disease to
accumulate and not until the whole
system is affected do many realize that
impure blood is the cause of all their
trouble. Mr.. Sidney S. Masten of
Pleasant Valley, N. Y, whose testimo-
NAL letter follows, is q well known
painter. His health was impaired by
lead poison and gradually his whole
system became affected. He rcsorted
to Hoods Sarsaparilla and in it found
q purifier of the blood and restorer of
the liver and kidneys to natural action;
in short, a good appetite and renewed
strength and vigor has followed his
taking Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read and
