Woman without Feeling.

Evatima Tardo, 26-year old wild
Of the We Indies, has passed thus far
through life without the sense og
touch. She is . i'd to be absolutely
without feelings or sense of pain. She
has swallowed deadly poison been shot
bitten by rattle snakes whose fangs
were torn out OF her flesh. She drinks
bsnzine and lights the gas which she
expels from a hollow needle stuck
through her cheek. She has permitted
a physician to puncture the apex Of her
heart, and is able to stand dislocation
Of the neck.
These remarkable and almost unbe-
lieyabIe assertions are vouched for BY
reputable lhysicians, one Of whom says
there is no doubt about Mrs. Tardo be.
ing the greatest physiological freak ol
the age. He attributes her anomalous
condition to corba bite she received
when she was child Of years. Ths

The Home influence.

"Charity begins at home," says the
old adage, and we might add, $50 does
every other good thing" Possibly we
might go farther still and say much OF
the mischevious evil OF life begins
there too. Certain it is that whenever
good men set themselves to do good
work in this crooked world, their
thoughts turn always to their homes.
as If there they must look for the very
heart Of the nation.
Make the home what it should he
and he land will take care of itself.
Save the children Of to-day and we
have made sure Of blessed tomorrow.
Any uplifting-infuencs, then, that
puriies and strengthens the home, any
cheerful influence that gladdens it,
should meet with cordial welcome from
the hearts Of those who desire that the
''axe be laid at the very root of the
tree" !" Nay; more than cordial vel
come should be given; every movement
designed to bless the home should have
the earnest aid of parents, and even d
the little ones themsei yes.

The commission engaged in investi-
eating the conduct Of the war, which
has started for Jacksonville, Fla,
where tbe work of hearing witnesses in
the camp will this week be inauguratsd
was preceded by the ringing assertion
Of Gen. Dodge, chairman of the COM
mission, that the commission would see
that every witness was protected who
had anything to tell that might arouse
enmity on the part of his superior of
ficers. These words of Gen. Dodge are
all the answer that is needed to the
senseless charge that witnesses have
been afraid to tell the commission what
they knew. There has been no such
fear on the part of any wisness, but
there has been wide differences in the
stories told to the commission and
those published as having been told by
the same witnesses to yellow journals.
A notable case of this sort was that of
DR.. Seaman, who arrived in New York
from Porto Rico, last week, and whose
alleged sensational statements to yellow
reporters caused him to be summoned

The presence in Europe of some of
the yellow correspondents who did the
tallest lying during the war with Spain
accounts for many Of the sensational
stories from Paris about dead locks in
the Peace Commission, the probability
of European interference in. the nego-
tlation in behalf of Spain, and other
equally silly fakes. European inter-
ference in behalf of Spain might have
been serious thing in the beginning
Of the war, and there were really some
reasons for fearing some attempt of
sort, but. having let that opportunity
go by without action, there Is not the
slightest reason for expecting anything
of the sort in connection with the peace
