Unfortunate Heroine,

One of the eccentricities Of the English
language was lately brought to the notice
Of New England woman by her Swedish
maid. Tho girl had attended night
school for some weeks, and was much de-
lighted with her attainments in English.
She expressed her wish to try her kDowl-
edge Of the language by reading story,
and her mistress recommended for her
perusal one called "A Modern Cinderella"
In a magazine. 1t was short, simply
worded and appeared not to present any
linguistic pitfalls.
"Did you like 1t, Bertha2" asked tho
mistress when tho magazine was returned
to her.
"Yas, ma'am," replied the girl slowly,
"but am sorry she had SO much trouble
and dose glass eyes, too. My brudder, he
had ono glass eye, and it was vera hard
for him."
why, I didn't remember about her
having glass eyes," said tho mistress.
Bertha unfolded the magazine, and point
cd with respectful finger to the follow
Ing undeniable proofs:
"As Polly moved about the kitchen do
ing her work hor eyes suddenly fell on the
letter which lay unopened in her aunt's
lap.
Keep your eyes where they belong
said that lady sharply, and poor Polly col
ored with shame. "-Youth's Companion.

CheaD Fuel,

Il Tie Invention being shown Ey repre-
sentative of the Champion Oil Burner Go.
OF Cleveland low at AIS Market ST. oppO-
the 3 and 10 cent store is attracting cUnsid
crablo attention, and looks rs though it
might cause 4 revolution in the use of fuel
for general heating purposes.
Alter years vf experimenting, and n
large outlay Of money, this firm has suc-
ceulea ia bringing up TO tie height of per-
feGtiCn, a burner which, with its late i'm.
prusements. is doing wonderful work.
They generate natural gas out Of COM
mon lamp OIL without danger. and WITH
out making any udor, noise or .li:t, as well
rs free from ashes, dush and dangerous
gnses arising from the use of hard coal.
They ne heating the largest G,holo ranges
eight hour, using only ono gallon OF kero.
scne oil and eight and nine room houses
are being heated with their large furnace
burners, in hot air furnaces, using about
ono gallon Ii six hours.
When We take into Considera' ion the
low price at which Kerosene oil can now
be bought ii Is very evident the cost
would not DO more than ono-haIf that Of
wood and coal, besides being L. UGH more
effective and cleaner.
Their representative will be here fow
days, and our citizens should all improve
the opportunity of seeing tho burner in
operation before he leaves.

COLD BATHS.
Their Injurious Effects Upon the
AnHmic and the Old.

Annmic and the Old.
The Journal of Tropical Medicine has
an interesting article on the use Of the
cold tub in tropical countries, In which 1t
Is shown that, health giving as 1t may be
to those who are young and vigorous and
newly arrived, 1t Ia by no means a process
to be universally advised. In the tropics
daily bath of some sort becomes a necessity
for purposes Of cleanliness alone. But the
stub" which is INDUCED in by Europeans
that Is, immersion In cold water, or, at
any rate, in water that Is distinctly colder
than the body, for say, five minutes
has distinct physiological action besides
the removal Of dirt, and tho question Ia
| whether this is good or bad. 1t Is pointed
out that the shock Is relatively greater
than in temperate climates; that the alb
straction of heat during the process can
be but i'll afforded, and that the depression
| Of temperature induced Is difficult to re.
cover from.
1t is also insisted on that neither the
circulation nor the respiratory organs re-
spond to tho stimulus, and that, especially
in tho case Of those who arc "getting on"
in years, the digestive organs may DO con-
gested to q dangerous extent. We think
that all this is very true, but that 1t Is
true for very large number of people
who live in temperate chimes as we'll as
for those whose lives are passed in the
tropics. Many people who have, as they
would say, been always accustomed to
take cold tub every morning continue
the habit long after 1t had better have
been given up. They do this partly be-
cause 1t is a habit and partly because they
dislike the confession of getting old which
seems to be involved in giving up the GUS
toms of their more youthful days.
But we are quite clear that unless good
reaction very quickly follows cold bath
and follows it without much ''towelirg,"
such Tubing Ia very often Injurious.
Whenever q man has to rub himself
warm" or when he finds that ho Is not
right again until after his breakfast, he
may feel sure that his tub is doing him
harm and that he would do better to take
warm bath, finishing off with rapid
sponge over with cold water "FOr tho
young, vigorous and newly arrived youth
in the tropics the cold bath may DO in
dulged in with impunity, and 1t may be
with benefit, but as years clapse the trop-
ical resident calls FOR bath water warmer
and still warmer until he finds that he
has best health only when tho water Of his
bath is not below the temperature CT his
body"
And ID Is the same in temperate ell
mates. On the other hand, the anmma
Of the tropics renders a man more suscep-
tible to cold; but, Oh the other hand the
arterial rigldity which in temperate eli
mates Is SO common an associate Of ad-
vanoing years renders men peculiarly un
able to bear that sudden displacement of
blood and that sudden Encouragement Of
the circulation which is involved in get.
ting into cold water. Hospital.

Fined for Assault,

At this mornings session of City Court
officer Mari charged Frank Mckinley
with being drunk. He was fined 81 and
costs.
Grant Evans was charged with disor.
derby conduct. Harry W. Lisle deposrd
he WAS standing on the corner of Front
and Market street when Evans struck him
several times. He followed him to the
Armory and there assaulted him. The
case was continued until Tomorrow morn
ing.
John Shields, John d. Connolly, Doc.
". Daniels and William W. Brown wero
charged with assault and battery. The
testimony was submitted on Saturday
morning. Deputy city solicitor Cahoon
was willing to submit the ca %. Mr.. Smith
who appeared for the defense claimed the
evidence was such ,hat the court would
discharge these men.
Brown was not there during tho fight
There Is no doubt but that these men were
Injured in tho fight wi these three men.
The latter justified the assault that they
ware acting in sell defense.
Deputy city solici or Cahoon replied and
said that there was no doubt but that
these mon were on the street and whiia
living on the ground these three men
kicked thom.
Is that resisting an attack? Disintere't.
ed witnesses testified that they saw tho
three men assault the men while he was
on the ground. Tho captain was first
knocked out and then these three men
turned their attention to the mate.
The court dismissed the charge against
Brown. The testimony was reviewed by
! the court and Shields was the man that
i ASSAULT cd he captain. He was therefore
| fined $50.
If tho captain was assaulted on the
street tho man had the right to 20 to his
assistance in tho proper way. Daniels
| and Connolly assaulted the mate. There
were three men there on the street and the
only other man must have been Shields.
We wait to draw conclusion that II
Daniels resisted the attack by the mato
there is question whether they had not
gone beyond necessarily defense Dan
iels wa perfectly abe to take care of Coke
without the assistance of the Others. Dan
les and Connelly were fined So and costs

Pineapple Juice For Diphtherla.

Pineapple juice is the latest remedy for
diphtheria. The plneapples are compress,
cd and tho juice used as drink. 1t Is
said that the negroes Of Georgia and other
southern states have used this remedy for
years. The juice cuts or burns out the
membrane of diphtheria rapidly. Consti-
tutlonal medicines are always necessary.
The juice Is a local remedy only and taken
In teaspoonful doses every two hours un-
diluted. The local journals assert that
pineapple juice acts so promptly that few
II any cases of diphtheria perish. 1t Is
harmless and agreeable and eflloacious.
Pineapple juice (by aualysis) contains:
Sugar, water, albumen, oitrlo acid, malic
acid, tannin, cellulose. Ctrio acid Is
found In lemons, oranges and plums and
has been used in malignant throat diseases
for many years. Any mild acid acts we'll
