fes It.
There is now no doubt whatever but
that the body of the man found with
a bullet hole in his head, in Winnetca
last week Tuesday, was Lewis Mowry,
formerly of Kenosha. The brother, G..
A. Mowry, who was in Chicago looking
the matter up, finally had the body
exhumed so that he might make sure
that it was the body of his brother.
The moment he saw the re-
mains he was convinced at once.
The body was boxed up and shipped
to Sturgeon Bay, Wis, where the
family now resides. There was some
talk of the case having been one of
murder, bnt all the circumstances seem
to tend to show that it was a case of
suicide, instead.

The Growth of the Body.

Up to a certain period in life the
body grows; the process continues gen.
orally up to the twentieth year, and
even beyond. When the growth ceases,
1t is not that new material ceases TO
be added to the body, for this Is an
ceasingly being effected to supply the
pace of those constituents of the frame
which are continually being used up,
but the balance between the food
taken and assdmilated and the waste
of the body is equalzed, and after
growth has ceased this balance-wf.h
the exception of fatty deposIps-is,
during health, maintained with but
futile variation during the years Of
ldfe's prime. When old age comes on
that is, after the sxtieth year-the pal
ance inclines the other way; the waste
now exceeds the reparative nutriment
which it is in the power of the system
to receive and elaborate, and the It's
sues all diminish In bulk, the stature
even becoming less. Growth, or in
crease OF size Of the body as a whole,
or of any part of 1t, is dependent as a
healthy process first on proper
amount of nervous eNcluation, and
secondly on due supply of healthy
blood. Young people require nutri-
meDt, not only TO sustain the wasting
processes Uf respiration and of the
motor change or movement, but they
require also sufficient to supply the
growing tissues of their entire body
with the various elements which go to
perfect their composition. If these
elements are not supplied, develop
ment Is either arrested or, the ten
dency to growth continuing, the boncs

A LIFE-sAYING DoI.

How a mongrel, good for nothing
dog, cur of the streets, saved man s
life was lately recorded by the Louisville
Courier journal as part of the news of
the day.
Louis Carr was painting the rear of a
vacant house in Louisville. As the noon
hour approached he was at work at the
very top of his ladder, just under the
caves. Being in haste to finish his stint,
and not wishing to spend time to go down
and move the ladder, he stretched as far
as possible to one side.
just then he felt the ladder slipping
away from him, and as the only mean
OF saving himself he dropped his brush
and seized the gutter with both hands.
Down went the ladder, and there the
painter hung, thirty feet from the ground.
He shouted for help, but no one heard
him; no one but small dog, which came
round the corner in response of his cries.
Evidently the dog took in the situation
at once. He barked furiously, winding
up with long howl. Then he ran out
of the yard and across the street to a
police station. There he barked again,
and then ran back to the yard. These
manoeuvres he repeated two or three times
till the policeman began to see something
was the matter, and followed him to the
rear of the house.
Then it was but the work of a moment
to put up the ladder and rescue Mr.. Carr,
who was all but ready to drop from ex-
haustion. No owner could be found for
the dog. and Mr.. Carr, of course, adopted
him his own.

WHERE DEAD LETTERS GO.

just think OF it-over 20, 600 letters are
sent to the dead-letter Office at Washing
ton each day. They are from all sorts of
people and from oil parts OF the world
and in many cases they contain money or
valuable papers.
Twenty clerks are employed to open
these letters, and 1t keeps them busy all
the time. The object is to see IL they
contain money money orderv, checks or
any other article of value. If they do.
every effort is made to return them to the
sender
When a clerk finds money in letter
he Immediately writes the amount the
date and his name on the back of the
envelope, and 1t Is then sent to another
clerk, who studies the letter to find sorle
clew by which the money may be re-
turned. Sometimes success crowns his
efforts. and sometimes the puzzle cannot
be solved. The address on the envelope,
the name OF the examining clerk. the
amount OF money and the date are re.
corded, and the money is put aside for
two years AT the end OF that time, IL
no inquiry has been made for it, it is sent
to the United States Treasury. where the
owner, by furnishing conclusive proof
that 1t is his property, may redeem 1t any
time within four years of the day the
Treasurer received it.

At a recent rife meeting in Switzer-
hand IT was discovered, according q a
Geneva journals report, that the steel
tacketed bullets of the marksmen were
swerved from their course by the in
fuence OF telegraph and telephone
wires running along side the range.
Experiments were then made at Thun
by placing four stee cables parallel
with the range, and about forty yards
distant from IT, and sending a current
Of 5000 volts through them. The ef-
feet, II Is said, was to turn the bullets
so far from the course that the devin-
ufon amounted to twenty -four yards
on a range OF 260 yards. The bullets
on being taken from the targets were
found to be magnetized. Next, ON an
artillery range of 1900 yards, the cleo
influence was generated
200 yards in front of the targets and
forty yards 10 one side. The projec-
tiles were swerved Ia degrees from n
straight Zine.

BUTTONS MADE OF MILK.
Cows Will Also Supply US with Combs,
Brush Handles, Etc. An English

For a long time buttons and other
articles for witch bone is generally
used have been made from concealed
blood, purchased by the button-mak-
ers at the slaughter houses and treated
with some substance that hardens IL
to the sufficient consistency. From
blood to milk is q long remove, bgu
the same articles that are made from
blood can be made from milk by q
process inverted by an Engl.shman
named James CaIander and soon 10
be introduced into this country.
The mink used Is the skim milk that
IS of little use for domestic purposes
and can be obtained very cheaiGy.
1t is the milk That remains after the
cream has been SKINNED off. Tie
process Of turning this liquid into
buttons, pool balls, combs, backs of
hair brushes and similar articles con-
slsts, first OF strainlng the milk through
a cloth in order to remove every vestige
Of cream, and then mixing 1T with a
substance the ingredients of which
are a secret of the inventor, and com.
pressing 1t. AIT the end of three days
the substance Is us solid as ceEuOid
and is ready to be cut and shaped u
any way the manufacturer wishes.
At present a factory in Holland Is
engaged in fashdonlng the hardened
milk into various articles, buttons be
ing the chief. The buttons made in

appearance from ordinary bone blrt-
tons. They are a creamy Write in APP
pearance, but can be colored black or
red or any odner color by simply mix
ing the cofocing matter with the milk
before the hardening process begins.
They are said TO possess advantages
over the bone and celuOid article in
being less brittle and less liable to
chip. For this reason the blizzard balls
and pool balls which have been male
In England from this substance have
found favor where cheap ball is re-
quired instead Of the expensive ivory
ones.
For combs the milk substance has
been found to be especially well adapt
ed, as 1t Is smooth and delicase TO the
touch, and derives from its creamy
origin a glossy surface that is just
the thing for combs. In the same way
1T is n good substitute for ivory in
billiard and pool balls.
The great difficulty the inventor had
ITO overcome, and which he grappled
with unsuccesssfully for seven years
before he hit upon the right plan, was
to keep the color Of the substance of a
uniform shade. according to Mr.. ].
X. Burdoch, of BrVolnyn, who has

Rebuilding Noses.

In this era of reconstruction through
which New York Is passing even noses
come in for their share of remodelling
and rebuilding. SO many people are
AFFLICTED width a disfguring disease
which eats away the bones of the nose
and face that plastic surgery" has
felt called upon TO find means to re-
store broken or decayed noses to their
original beauty, or even to improve on
that. DR.. Robert Weir was among
the first to discover a practical solu-
zion. He experimental with some sue
cess in TRANSFORMING bones of living
fowls to the human face. One of his
earlier operations was conducted in a
stuffy Hanem fiat. His patient was
stretched on rhe table under ether; her
face was laid open and streaming
Blood; but the duck, not receiving due
attention, had escaped unnoIriced from
the assistant. "Now, doctor" said DR..
Weir to dignified participant, 'Ol,llge
me by half-killing THAT bird and let
me have about three inches from its
breast-bone for this girls nose"
Amfd the grewsome surroundings
there were ten minutes of vigorous ex-
erd.se in catching THE bird and reduc-
ing it to a state of insensibility. Since
then he has dispensed with dive birds
and has turned HIS attention to gutta
percha, rubber, silver and gold for nose
bridges. All these failed because
el'afsfrsifsa1 ofsfinn vvaS oanoa.otad raunir-
ing further operations. Finally, pire
aluminium was resorted to with salts
factory results. Now the nose bone is
made Of that metal.
1t has a stout hook at the upper end
by which it is secured to the base or
the forehead, whfle the other enl is
held out from the face by two short
legs terminating in sharp spikes which
are anchored in the bone. There is no
necessity for ugly scars, because the
operation is carried ON entirely be-
reath the skin. A long incision is made
under the upper Zip above the teeth,
so that the whole flap of the face
can be turned back like q mask or an
old glove. Then when the metal frame
work is secured the skin is drawn
down again, and the nose tissue Is
shaped into Grecian, Roman or pug
nose as desired.
Seven years ago DR.. Weir got his first
ideas from French publications, but
has since made many notifications
and improvements. Other prominent
surgeons have followed his example,
such as Dr. AbDe, DR.. Powers, of Den
yer, and DR.. Knight. The operation
is comparatively simple, and all have
succeeded in restoring noses, which, If
they are not of service in distinguish
ing bad odors from good, are at least
beautiful in looking natural.-New

SPANS Possessions Abroad.

The only possessions now left to
Spain besJdes Cuba are Puerto Rico, in
the West Indies, and the Philippines in
Oceanica.
The island of Puerto Rico is more
populous than Cuba, quite as rich and
productive and almost as disaffected.
The Spanish government. has been
Obliged to Increase its forces there for
fear of an outbreak.
There is rebellion also in the Philip
pine islands. The principal islands
are Luzon, Mfndanao, Panay. Zebu,
Bohol, Leytte, Samar, Africans, Mas
bate, Jolo, Solo and Sulu. The total
area is 1926 square miles and the
population something over 7,0O0OO0
The latitude o. the archipelago Is
Slightly lower, but the temperature
about the same as that Of Cuba, with
fresh sea breezes. The islands, how
ever, are not considered healthy. Cold
weather Is unknown, but terrible hurri-
canes are Of frequent occurrence. Dis
eases Of the digestive organs are preva-
lent, and European residents fadi an
easy prey to Asiatic cholera.
The Philippines are high and noun
tainvus, with large tracts Of virgin
forests, and are chiefly remarkable for
an enormous variety of natural prod
ucts. There are ninety nine different
kinds Of rice, indigo, Indian corn, cot
ton, cocoa, tobacco, wheat, coffee,
sweet potatoes, honey, black pepper
and other SPICES, orchIl, birthstone,
swallow nests, tortoise shell, mother
of-peaa1, wax, tar, lockwood and in
Vulnerable kinds of fruit. There are
also MANY precious woods and consld-
erable unexpected mineral wealth.
The islands are inhabited almost en-
tirely by native Malays and Chinese,
with a sprlnkling of halfJbreeds and
whites. The natives work at cabinet
making, hat-p.afting, weaving, en-
broidery, etc. The principal agrdcul-
tural product Is tobacco.
