APPEAL OF A Topeka GIRL.
Asks Others to Stop Offering Liquor to
Young Men.

Lead them not into temptation is
the cry of Miss Olivia Van Tassel, a
leader in Topeka society, who has Gre
ated a sensation by declaring that the
young society women of the town are
Turing young men to ruin by offering
them drink when they come into their
homes. Miss Van Tassel charges the
downfall of one young man to this
custom, and she has made an appeal
to the society women of Topeka to put
away their wine decanters and assist
in saving the young men from drunk
ards graves. She says:
81 think it is just awful the way
wine is served to young men by some
of the society women of Topeka. One
young man has been ruined by this
practice and others are on the road to
ruin. These society young women are
responsible for their downfall. 1t is
amazing that so many of the young
women of this town do not object to
the young men drinking liquor and it
is still more shocking to- know that
many Of the young women drink liquor
themselves.
Miss Van Tassel will carry her war
into the churches and will appeal to
the parents to throw the nasty stuff in
to the cutters.

SWALLOWS HATPINs TO DIE.
Strange Mode of Suicide Adopted by
an Englishwoman.

There were remarkable develop
ments at the inquest on the body of
Mrs. Dadswell, an inmate of East Sus-
sex county asylum. The superinten-
dent of the asylum said the deceased
suffered from recurrent melancholia,
and was placed under strict supervi-
sion day and night. Three weeks ago
she complained of illness and was tax
en- to the infirmary, where she develop
ed signs of peritonitis. The doctor no
ticed that there was a curious swelling
like an abscess, on the deceased's left
side, and two days later another alb
scess pointed" and, upon this being
opened, a hatpin several inches long.
was taken out Two days later an
other pin was removed, and on Sept
8 Mrs. Dadswell died from peritonitis
The result of the postmortem examin-
alton showed that the stomach was
perforated, the pins-which were i've
inches long-having gone through
over half their length. A week or so
back the deceased had told one OF the
nurses that she had swallowed an egg
spoon, but witness had not been able
to find it. The brain was perfectly
healthy.-London Mail.

TROUBLE OVER DOG.
Diplomatic Correspondence Caused by
Landing Canine ON British Soil.

It would be misfortune if even a
$3.50 dog was suffered to bring us into
an international complication. That is
registered as the cost of the McCor-
mick dog, just allowed to land in Eng
land on his way from Paris to- this
country, though there is a, British qual
antine on foreign dogs, and it took a
profusion Of diplomatic correspond
ence to procure it's suspen gion in favor
of this expensive animal. Even thus
it's exemption was not without condi-
tiors. It was not allowed to mingle
freely with the British dog and join it
in the customary forms of canine
amusement On the contrary It was
enforced to complete isolation from its
kind while on British soil, but was per-
mitted such solace as it might obtain
from the companionship of an under
cur in the legation. On the whole, it's
travelling experiences would be rather
humiliating to an ordinary dog; to one
costing $25 a pound, the sum paid for
this extravaganza animal, it should be
unusually mortifying if it's sensibilities
are as acute as it's price would lead
one to expect. Luckily it's transit has
not seriously embroiled us with Great
Britain, and now that the American
tourist is made acquainted with the
island law concerning the foreign dog,
ne will no doubt give due heed, thus
relieving diplomacy from any amount
i
the dogs themselves from an invidious
and painful situation. New York

STOWAWAYS SCARCE.
Investigation Proves He Is a Common
Sort of Individual.

The stowaway has been embalmed
III literature as a romantic figure-the
lad, you know, who runs off from
home all for love of sailors life ON
the blue sea. In drab world like
ours it is always a pity to spoil a pref

found precious little trace of a ro-

bias had long experience of ships and
seamen said:
II don't recollect within my expert
ence any instance of a lad becoming
stoWaway in order that he might be a
full-blown sailor. No doubt there have
been such instances, but with none
have become personally acquainted,
and at least that shows them to be
rather rare"
He appealed to colleagues only less
experienced tnan himself in the ship
ping world and they confirmed him
the stowaway of the sea romance was
profoundly scarce.
The nearest I got to the real thing
was a youthful bootblack, who, crow
ing tired of the old country, wished to
try his fortune and his polish some
where else. Accordingly he hid him
self on board a sailing ship outward
bound to the Pacific coast. In the
course of the voyage the ship caught
fire and the crew had to leave her.
Before that disaster the bootblack had,
Of course, been discovered, and indeed,
he had become quite a favorite On
board A point of detail to which have
been leading up is that he insisted on,
and succeeded in, saving his boot
blacking utensils from the burning
craft. Of his further career there was
no echo. only you can judge that he
will be shining leather in some other
corner of the globe.

FAIRY TELEGRAPH PLANT.

The signal corps of the United
States army now operates about 8O2
miles Of military telegraphs. The
most notable advance of the year in
it's system has been the adoption OF
combination telegraph and telephone
apparatus, which only weighs sixteen
pounds, and consequently can easily
be carried by one soldier. With this
apparatus one soldier can telegraph
message to another, while telephone
conversation with another station can
be simultaneously carried on, the
distant operators only receiving the
messages intended for each.

seasons, is what the potato crop

"Once in awhile we read" said Mr..
Bozzle, "that the ship So-and-so or the
steamer So-ard-so has returned to port,
or has arrived perhaps with a decided
list; cargo shifted. Sometimes we see
land craft, n truck, with cargo shift
ed--a big pile of boxes, towering high,
shaken over to Que side or the other by
continued jolting along ON the side of
the street on the slope.
"a load thus shifted can't be shaken
back by running along on the opposite
slope OF the road. 1t is like a stick of
wood that has been bent and kept bent
till the grain is set. Whatever you do
with it the crook stays in.
''If care is exercised in turning cor
ners and in navigating generally, the
shifted load can usually be carried to
its destination as it is without upsetting,
though 1t may work harder. The expe-
rienced truckman knows just what can
be done with it, and whether it has
shifted as far as it will CO. and all that.
If it is so badly shifted as to make the
operation of the truck difficult or dan
gerous, he hauls to one side by the curb
and anchors-that is to say, he halts
and unloads the shifted top courses of
his cargo and then reloads and makes
everything tim and secure and sets out
again. New York Sun.

Little Marble Imported Now.

The importation Of marble to the
United States has almost ceased. II is
only now and then that cargo arrives
at this port, while few years ago q
fleet of sailing vessels brought many
cargoes annually from the famous Car
rara quarries in Italy to Philadelphia.
Marble buildings seem to be becoming
things Of the past, and the tombstone
makers find little demand for marble
tombs slabs or monuments. Granite
has taken the place of marble every
where, even in the cemeteries, where
marble shafts and slabs were formerly
the only proper things. Granite, unlike
marble, does not require very frequent
cleaning and looks we'll without being
touched up for years. It also admits of
q high polish and does not show the
marks Of rust by contact with metal, as
marble does. s.-Philadelphia Record.
