The head physician asked permission to 'cut,' as he expressed it, ' and find out.' I asked how big place he wanted to cut. He said he thought four inches far enough.' I did not want any such hide-and-seek game played with me, so the operation did not occur. I continued under the doctOr's care, but my con- sidercd hopeless. made my will, balanced my accounts and made every preparation for death.

To escape desth sftsr being given up by four doctors, and bidden goodbye to family and friends, is an experience not granted every man. Yet it happened to Mir. Le Roy Bowen, of Decoria township, Blue Earth Co.,, Minn.

 His story is of the greatest interest. He said:

 Finally went to Mankato and consulted c specialist. He stated that did not have gravel, but thought it was rheumatism of the Stomach. I continued to visit him until the end of August. Then I became completely bedridden and sent for another doctor. He called my complaint inflammation of the bowels and treated me for that. "The doctor laid my case before the fac ulty of Rush Medical College, Chicago. and it was decided that I had neuralgia of the stomach. I was treated for that until De- eember but continued to grow worse. Then the doctor said, T can't do you any good.

 The standard attained by the per formance of modern pumping engines is pretty high, as was illustrated by an incident which occurred not long ago here in New York, where some large pumping engines that had recently been set up and were working at rather high speed and almost absolutely without noise were inspected by an expert in such matters who hailed from an inte- rior city He remarked, Well, those engines work very nicely now, but wait until you get to pumping water at that speed and then you will hear something from them probably"

FEAR OF i.L.lN IN CUBA.
The Evil Effect of Water Is Not a Mere
 SuncrHtitIOu There.

The Evil Effect of Water Is Not a Mere superstition There.
 The average Cuban IS drcahfully afraid of raInwater He believes that drenching in a rainstorm, followed by exposure to the rays of the sun. pro- duces fever-not necessarily yellow fe yer, but an attack something similar to
 what is known as swamp fever III Mis- sissippi or chagres in the isthm as of Panama
 The same belief prevails in Central and South America. but in 8 greater degree. On both coast lines of Nicaragua 8 light shower is the signal for gen. eral scampering indoors and a disin clination to come out again until the sky is perfectly clear Up on the high | plateau on which the city of Caracas in Venezuela is situated and where there should be little or no fear of fever the natives are afraid to get even their faces wet. At the first appearance of a rainstorm the cab drivers, of whom
 there are more than 400, put up oilcloth
 screens in front of them and direct the
 course of the horses through a couple of peepholes, avoiding even 8 slight splash in the face.
 All strangers from northern attitudes
 visiting Caracas are advised that not | only is rain dangerous, but that it is
 not safe to take 8 bath within ten
 days after their arrival. Men accustom-
 ed to a daily plunge find this advice difficult to follow, especially in such 8 i warm climate. Most of them disregard it and find that it does them no harm,
 and that it is a superstition based upon the laziness that follows 8 residence in
 an atmosphere so enervating that the dogs are too tired to get out of the way of the horse if the horse wasn't too
 tired to step on them.
 The Cuban fear of rain, however is
 based upon experience and is not 8 mere
 superstition.-New York Press ROBBED THE GRAvE.-A startling incl
