Fads About Food.

1t has never been scientifically demon.
strated that fish and other phosphoric
foods can appreciably improve the brain
and mind. Fishermen, for example, and
fishmongers, who may be supposed to
live largely upon fish, have never shown
themselves to be in any measurable de-
gree more intellectual than their n9igh-
bors. Indeed it may be plausib1y ar.
gued that they are little less so. The
truth is that that particular food which
best agrees with the particular individ-
ual and which best maintains his gen.
eral health at high level is the best
for the brain and every other organ of
the body, as well as for the whole man.
Common experience has long ago formu-
lated the saying that ''what is one
mans meat is another mans poison. :"
Science now comes forward to tell us
exactly the same thing and to impress
upon every one of us the necessity of
finding out the diet best suited to our
selves and sticking to it.--London Hos

Cherry Stone Curiosities.

There is cherry stone at the Salem,
(Mass.) museum which contains one
dozen silver spoons The stone itself is
OF the ordinary size, but the spoons are
so small that their shape and finish can
only be well distinguished by the micro.

cherry stone on which were carved 1874
heads SO distinctly that the naked eve
could distinguish those belonging to
popes and kings and kings by their
miters and crowns. 1t was bought in
Prussia for $15, 600 and thence conveyed
to England, where it was considered an

domestic Arrangements IAN Century.

Domestic Arrangements i4th Century.
Carpets were unknown luxuries, but
the fashion of strewing the apartments
with rushes was being gradually aban.
doned. Rusaes were still used in the re-
tainers' hall. but for the better rooms
sweet scented herbs and fragrant twigs
were usually employed.
In the fourteenth century windows
were apertures filled with glass so as to
admit light, but to exclude wind. The
walls also were frequently hung with
cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates
of the room from the many currents OF
air that penetrated the strong but badly
built walls We learn from various an
Gent documents that it was the duty OF
the serving men and pages to sweep out
the principal apartments, but as the use
of water is rarely mentioned damp and
fragrant leaves and twigs must have
aided not only III collecting the dust
but also toward refreshing the atmos-
phere in such constantly closed rooms,
fresh air being only admitted through
the doors opening on to the battlements
or balconies.
From old inventories at Thurleigh
and elsewhere we ascertain how scantily
furnished were these ancient mansions,
although they seem to have been album

graved pewter, besides an infinite mum.

THE COMMON BLACK COAT.

IL Is Feared That 1t May BE Superseded
by One of Lighter Color.
It would appear from one OF their
trade organs that tailors are becoming a
little anxious about the prospects OF the
black coat Of civilization. They fear 1T
is in danger of being superseded by a
garment of lighter hue, if not of varie'
gated pattern. Perhaps, if they were to
give voice to their deeper approximations,
they would say that there was more at
stake than the black coat. There can, at
any rate, be little doubt, whether the
tailors are willing to admit it or not,
that with the fate Of the black coat is
bound up that of the black waistcoat.
Whether the two have been lovely and
pleasant in their lives is matter OF
opinion, but we feel sure that in death
they would not be divided.
We mean no disrespect to the vest in
describing it as parasite OF the coat.
1t is a humble dependant which has
only found its way into society under
the wing Of its influential patron, to
whom it adheres with single breasted
fidelity, rewarded on the other side by
an attachment which is rarely broken
save for a short period during the sum-
mer months.
The trousers, it is true, are connected
with the two upper garments by no such
feudal tie, but their own union is CON-
plete and, except in very hot weather,
indissoluble. Hence, the more farsight-
ed tailors no doubt perceive clearly
enough that if the black coat goes we
shall be within measurable distance Of
the "tweed suit" Nor are there want
ing those who would do their best to
accelerate the catastrophe.
Animated by the restless spirit of the
age, its impotence of sobriety and its
thirst for change and color in costume,
as in life, there is school of so called
reformers who are endeavoring to urge
the wearers of black coats to revolt Let
them give free play, exclaim these an
archistic counselors, to "their taste in
checks and stripes" and they will be
able to cut far more picturesque figure
at far smaller annual outlay. With the
outlay, of course, the public is not con-
cerned, though that matter, doubtless.
isnot without its interest for the tailors,
but we own to some uneasiness at the
idea of the entire community indulginp
its multifarious taste in checks and
stripes in headlong pursuit of the pic
turesque.
We have all of US, indeed, seen the
experiment tried under very favorable
circumstances, but with more than du-
blous results by those little bands of
vocal and instrumental artists. gener-
ally six or eight in number, who are
usually to be met with at race meetings
or on the sands at popular seaside re-
sorts. These pioneers of dress reform

Difficulty of the Social Purity League
in Finding Location for
Their Establishment.

''If some one was looking for a Ioca-
ton for a Kelley cure institute or a
joint they could find it, said Mrs. E.
A. Van CIeave, president of the Social
Purity League, but we have been un-
able as yet to find suitable place for
the Rescue Home.A fallen woman has
but one chance to a mans ten to re-
ceive assistance. We have been trying
for some time to locate the home here
in Topeka, but nobody wants a Rescue
Home in their neighborhood. We want
a house situated near a street car line
so that it will be easy of access. We
have found several houses that would
suit our purpose very well, but as soon
as we told what the house was to be
used for we were informed that we
were not wanted in that locality.
The people Will send money away to
foreign missions and pack box after
box of clothing to be sent somewhere
else, but when it comes to doing mis-
Si0nary work at home there seems to
be but little encOura cement The Flor
ence Crittenden home at Kansas City
has about 80 inmates and the home at
Ieavenworth has about 20. The Social
Purity League of Topeka has sent sew
eral girls to both of these homes and in
many cases the interest we have taken
has not been in vain.
Major Crittenden has promised that
II IOpeka viii get home started he
will aid it with a sum of money but in
order to receive this help we must get
1t started. 1t must be situated where
it can be reached by car. Our physi-
clans will all be ladies and they do not
want the home to be out in the country.
We found a suitable place in Oakland,
but that we thought was too far away
The American Volunteers are assisting
US in the work and Capt. Shannon is
doing all he can to find a suitable home.
Several well known persons of Topeka
have promised to furnish rooms as soon
as the time comes. The rooms will not
be elegant, but will be fitted uD much
like hospital room. Nice white iron
bedsteads, no carpet but perhaps a
comfortable will be our motto but not
elegant. The home will be supported
much the same as the Salvation Army
hospital is, but the ones who are en-
plOyed at the home will receive at least
a little pay. The money of the Volun-
teers is kept in America and not sent
to England as it is said the Salvation
lists money is"
Mrs. Van Cleave said that the league
could find plenty of work to do in To-
peka. DO you think that in propor-
tion to the population Topeka is as
good field as Kansas City?" asked the
reporter.
.'Oh, no. was the reply, but if the
sale of liquor keeps on increasing as it
has there will be the same increase of
work for the home. Drink and fallen
women are two evils that go hand in
hand. The ones whom we help are not
all from the poorer families but many
of them are from the best of families.
They have taken a step that they will
repent if they are helped in time

ONLY ONE CAT NOW.
Though it Was Two and So Was

Chicago, Oct. 25-A so pound wildcat

the worse for mastication and fresh
battle scars innumerable about its body

Messenger Gambel of WeIIs-Fargo's
Express company and forwarded to its
cOnSignee in Ohio.
Messenger Gambel avOwed that as a
matter of fact there were really two
cats in the cage, although only one was
visible. The other, he said, was some
where in the innermOst recesses of the
disreputable looking beast who spat
viciOusly over his shoulder at all cOraers
and some 'fragmentary SeSamOids and
tufts of gray fur strewn about the floor
of the cage and the ensanguined Whisk-
ers of its occupant seemed to bear out
his statement
The cats previous to assimilation
were entrusted to Messenger GambeI's
care at Kansas City. He was there as
sured that the animals Travelled togeth-
er from Falbrook, Cal, in peace and
harmony.
How the difficulty arose." Gambel
says he can't tell, but an hour out of
Kansas City there was a sudden
'sphhtt' from the cage that made him
OYerbalance in his chair and fall over
on the floor. When he got up he no
ticed that his pets were crouching in
opposite corners of the cage, their ears
laid back and their bob tails twitching
nervously. He also noticed that there

about the structure in which they were
confined as he would have liked, so he
hastened to poke some beef in between
the bars as a diversion. He had no
sooner done this than the cats came to-
gether with a thud of extreme sudden
ness and two yowls that made his blood
drop Is degrees in temperature. He
would have left the car right there only
that he scorned to leave his post He
would also have been compelled to de-
scend from the top or the safe to get
to the door. SO he drew. his revolver
with trembling hand and rising hair
and awaited developments. Every min
ute the combatants struck the bars of

cloud Countv Conviets.

The board of pardOns recently rec
commended that the governor pardon
VIM Swenson, sent to the penitentiary
from Cloud county for arson, in 1895, for
SIX years. Implicated with SWensOn
was a young man, Orvi1le Webb, who
had neither friends or money to prose-
cute his claim for a pardon. Consequently
ne, while only under a sentence of three
years, was to be left in the penitentiary
by the board. While looking over the
papers Gov. Leedy noticed this circum-
stance, and he Immediately sent a let
ter to the board stating that unless
Webb was pardOned SWenSOn should
not be. The attorneys for Swenson
thereupOn went to work and secured
the necessary application and petition
for Webb and today the two men were
restored to their liberty by the govern
