A SENSATIONAL RUNAWAY.

Johnny Eagan made sensational stop
of runaway horse at Railroad square
yesterday afternoon about half past i've
o'clock. A light carriage in which were
seated two men came down st. John
street past tha Maine Centra; offices. Sud-
denly the bride of the horse dropped of
and the startled animal began to run
at breakneck speed. Those who wit.
messed the start of the runaway would
not have. given niokie for the mems
lives or the safety of the carriage.
Johnny Eagau, hack driver for the
Prebte house, ran--out into the street,
grabbed the runway horse by sths. nose
and held on for grim death. The brave
man was dragged some distance but by
HIS pluck finally stopped the horse and
saved the carriage from being wrecked.
Eagan was the recipient Of considerable
money. much praise and has the credit
of having made sensational stop of
runaway horse.

HOW 10 BUILD A BODY.
One of the most Important discoveries
of late is the application of the right
kind Of food to rebuild the lost SUBJ
stances OF the body, thrown on by the &C.
tive, nervous work of Americans.
Careful investigation by experts In
food and dtatetics, has brought out the
fact that albumen. which is contained in
various foods. is acted upon by phosphate
of potash, not such as optainsd in drug
stores. but such as is found in certain
parts CT the deld grains in most minute
PARTICLES, arranged in Natures labora-
tory, not mans.
The part of the grains containing phos-
phats of potash is used In the manufao-
ture Of Grape-Nuts food, therefore the
active, nervous, pushing brain worker
can feed the body with food that goes d.
rectly to the rebuilding Of the broken
down gray matter in the brain. solar
plexus and nerve oenters all over the
body, with the result that the Individual
who refreshes and rsbuilds the body with
proper material of this sort, obtains a
definite result, which he can feel end
know of and which is apparent to his
friends

WASTE OF SEBAGo WATER.

Mr.. j. Herbert Shedd, the noted by.
draulic engineer of Providence, r. l., has
been spending few days in Portland.
He has for many years been employed as
consulting engineer TO the Portland
Water Company and while here he has
reviewed in some particulars the present
condition of the company's works.
One striking fact of special interest to
water takers has been observed. 1t ap-
pears from the estimates of the officers OF
the company that during the hot weather
of the summer and the cold weather of
the winter months about 9, 200, 600 gallsns
of water are poured into this city daily
from Sehagc Lake, equivalent to about
one hundred and fifty gallons of water
foi every man. woman and child within
the district supplied by the pipes, About
two-thirds Of this water is recklessly
wasted and in eject Is taken from the
company without just payment in wats~
rates or othei wise. II these persons he
permit this waste of water should
made TO pay fair rate for what t,as
waste the company coald afford to re a j,
largely the rates now charged its patrons
for water.
In Providence the cold weather use is
about nifty six gallons per capita and that
Is city having large manufacturing In
terests and an unusual proportion Of
steam boilers.
1t Ia understood that the water compauy
has reliable means Of detecting the indi-
viuual takers who waste water and such
takers ought not to be sueprised II stems
are taken to collect from them the value
OF water wasted. A full payment for
water now being wasted would swell the
revenues of the water company enormous
ly.

CURRENT COMMENT.
BASIS FOR ARGUMENT.
(Biddsford Journal.)

The Portland Advertiser. In a well CON

exceDently illustrates the remarkable
positions into which imperiaiist advo-
Gates are forced when they seek q basis for
argument.

three centuries has been transferred to
the United States regularly by treaty
compact, and we must assert and estab-
establish that sovereignty.

Here the Advertiser assumes the univer-
sal imperialist attitude that the oppon-
ents OF imperialism are in some way on
posing their own country.
IL Is because they are Americans OF the
Revolutionary spirit. lovers of liberty and
Justice. that so many are sturdily opposed
to this empire business. Our sympathy
is wholly with our own country, If

A Colony of Outlaws.

Writers of fiction have frequently
pictured the idea of an unknown tropi.
cal paradise being turned into gen.
eral asylum for outlaws and criminals.
In the Bonin Isles, not far from Japan,
such q refuge has actually been dis.
covered. Men of every nationality,
who have made civilization too warm
for themselves, have decamped to this
ideal rendezvous, leaving the police to
record the unsatisfactory result of their
investigations as "gone abroad" No
rates or taxes have to be paid, and
government seems to be entirely dis
pensed with. The discovery was made
by Japanese vessel which called at
the island. In future the aliens will
have less freedom and consequently
less happiness, for the Japanese do.

Correct Hat Pins.

1t is modish now to show more of
the hat pin than its mere head, so the
pins themselves are made ornamental.
The finds of inventive geniuses are
turning toward pin that will stay in
the hat without any danger Of falling
out. Recently there was a patented
split that was provided with q little
spring which worked by pressure.
A very nice hat pin, with head of
amber, had an amber fastening accom-
panying it, made secure by gold
chain. The fastener" was stuck in
the hat, so that to lose the hat pin you
must lose the hat also.
A very special little piece of iewelry
is band of pearls connected with hat
pin by gold chain. The pearl band
is used as brooch or as pin upon
the breast.
The gold chain bangles from the hat
pin, and makes pretty bit of fnery
for the woman who likes fripperies.
The band may match the hat pin, and
be of any jewels or plain gold.
Hat chains are seen ON some OF the
French toques. They are only pin.
in another guise. One of fine golt
and pearls pretended to clasp huge
nosegay of violets upon a chenill,
toque. OF course, it only pretended
but what was its deception worth whel
it looked so nice?-London Mail.

A Spanish Hero.

"The greatest exhibition of courage
1 saw in the big Santiago fight was by
Spanish officer" said Trooper Charles
r. Leaning, late of the Sixteenth
Regulars (Kent's division). sit was
on the I'd of July, when the desperate
fighting occurred before San Juan
Hill. At the extreme south end of
the third row of Spanish trenches
there was little mound of fresh dirt
on which stood an officer looking
through pair Of field glasses and
shouting encouragement to his men.
The air all around him was simply
alive with projectiles, but he paid no
more attention to them than to flies.
In less than five minutes I saw him
have three almost miraculous escapes.
The first was from piece Of shell
which struck some entrenching tools
stuck in the mound, less than a yard
away. 1t tore the tools all to pieces,
and the splinters killed several men,
but he was entirely untouched. A
moment later a couple of men jumped
up, one on each size of him. He
seemed to be directing their attention
to something, and while doing so
dropped his glasses. He stopped to
pick them up, and before he could
rise both men were cut down by n
sweep of machine-gun bullets which
probably took them on about the line
of the head. In almost less time than
it takes to tell it his sugar-loaf straw
sombrero flew into the air, and when
he picked it up it was total wreck.
At that the men around about where
we lay all burst into a laugh, for the
figure he made looking at the tattered
hat was irresistibly funny, in spite of
the horrible tragedy in progress.
After that 1 lost sight of the officer,
and can't say whether he came through
or not. He was certainly insensible
to fear"

Adventure With q Tiger.

The ardent seeker after big game is
often in peril of life and limb, but he
rarely counts the danger, or if he
does, the excitement and glory strike
the balance in favor of the risk.
Colonel R., an English officer
stationed in India, met with singular
adventure while tiger hunting, in which
he lost an arm.
The Colonel had wounded q tiger
from an elephants back. The tiger
charged, and the elephant, taking
fright, bolted through the jungle. To
save himself from being Drained and
swept off by overhanging branches,
Colonel r. seized stout limb, and
raising himself, left the elephant to
go on alone through the forest. To
his dismay, ho found he had not
strength and agility sufficient to swing
himself up to sit on the branch. In
vain he strove to throw leg over, and
SO raise himself.
Looking down, the sportsman dis
covered that the tiger had spotted
him and was waiting below. The hor-
ror of the situation can be imagined
the enraged tiger, and the helpless,
dangling man knowing he must fall
into those cruel jaws.
How long he hung there he never
knew. He shouted and shrieked in
an agony of fear. He eased one arm
little, then the other; then hung
despairingly by both-till at last
tired nature gave way and he dropped!
He remembered thrusting one arm
into the tigers jaws, and then con.
sciousness left him. His life was
saved by the arrival of friendly rifle
barrel held close to the tigers head,
and through the subsequent amputa.
ton of the mangled arm by skilful
surgeon.

An American Sailor-Boy.

''Ben Porter" was about fifteen years
old when. in 1859, he wrote from the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, to which
he had recently been appointed, "Just
think of my being here, going to
school, and the Government paying me
thirty dollars month for my com
pany! Aint it bunkum?" 1t turned
out "bunkum" for the Government,
which "had the worth of its money
from that schoolboy before it was done
with him." So writes DIR. Il. Clay
Trumbull in his "War Memories of a
Chaplain" in which he sketches the
career of this "wide-awake, enthusi-
astic American ilor-boy-for 10y he
was to the last"
Immediately after the capture of
of Fort Sumter, the Secretary of the
Navy graduated the first class of the
Naval Academy, and Porter began his
active service as q midshipman on the
Roanoke, then on blockade duty.
In the Burnside expedition he COM
manded six launches, with q battery of
Dahlgren howitzers and one hundred
and fifty men. In the sharp fight on
Roanoke Island Porter's battery was
on land in the advance position, and
the boy Of seventeen did such execu.
tion that he was commended by his su.
perior officers as having mot only con.
tributed largely to the success OF the

A Hint For Girl Writers,

If young girls with literary aspira-
tons would devote their energies to
writing for children, they might sue.
ceed beyond their widest imaginings.
They are not sufficiently removed from
the period of childhood to have for
gotten all their youthful fancies, while
they have not yet learnt the bitterness
and sadness of lost illusions. Clever
children's stories, too, are difficult to
obtain, SO the editors say, and, there
fore, command fair price. No one
has yet stepped into the shoes of the
gifted authors of "Alice in Wonder
land" or ga Flat Iron for Farthing"
and many other delightful tales, and
the post is open to any youthful aspir-
ant. Miss Farleon, daughter of the
well-known writer, who is only seven
teen, has already started on q pros
porous career of story telling, and two
young members of the aristocracy,
Lady Clementine Hay, daughter of the
Marquis of Tweeddale, and Lady Mar
iory Gordon, daughter of Lord Aber-
deem, the late Governor of Canada,
edited children's magazines in their
schoolroom days. 1t should be de-
lightful career, that of telling stories
to children, with their appreciative
and unerringly right enthusiasm and
nIoyment.-Lonpon Graphic.

The town of Pullman, ILL.,, as or
ganized and established by its founder,
whose name it bears, is soon to give
up its distinctive character and become
in fact as well as in name a part of
the municipality of Chicago. Under
the supreme court decision the COM
pany is reported to be preparing to
give up its building other than those
used strictly for the purposes of car
building, which means that it must
give up its control over the town of
Pullman.
