The Ladies' Home Journal has
secured Julia Magruder's new nov
elette, which she has named "The
Voice in the Choir" The story
concerns "a young Southern girl
who serves as a nurse in a hospital
during the Spanish-American War.
Tn the discharge of her mission it
falls to her lot to care for the man
whom she might have married six
months before. Injuries to the eyes
necessitated his having them tight

With such plot it may he readily
saen that Miss Magruder has writ
ton a strong story, one full OF STIR

CROSSING THE LEGS.
New York Physfcian Claims That 1t is
Dangerous Habit.

Dangerous Habit.
From the New York Herald.
1t was recently announced by we'll
known New York medical man that the
reason Americans suffer so much from dys-
pepsia is because they do not know how to
sit correctly. Owing to the bad positions
in sitting that Americans adopt, the stom-
ach is crowded out of position and cannot
readily perform its proper functions.
Now comes a surgeon, well known in
Philadelphia, who puts forward the sug-
gestion that appendicitis is more common
in America than in other countries beca use
of the Yankee habit of habitually sitting
with one leg thrown over the other.
Many causes have been quoted for ap-
pendicitis, but none has satisfact orily OK
suffer from the disease than women, or
why Yankees should suffer from 1t far
more frequently than others.
1.-The habit of sitting with the legs cross
ed said the surgeon, restricts the action
of the digestive apparatus. espec. ally of
the lower intestine, and causes stagnation
of the contents and the stretching of the
opening of the vermiform appendix. nak-
ing It possible for distractions to reach
the latter organ, and thus causing appen-
dicitis.
1.-The appendix is only loosely attached to

aoisting Works at the Sir Victor
Blown Up.
SHAFT IS NOW ON FIRE
pAsTARDLY OUTRAGE COMMIT,
TED By UNKNOWN FIENDs.
Damage to the Hosting Works Will
Be $4,000 and to the Shaft Sew
eral Thousand Moreno Men
Were In the Mine at the Time
Works Will Be Rebuilt.

Yesterday afternoon Manager B. T..
Lloyd of the Sir Victor company, with
property at Sunshine, in the Camp
Floyd district, received a telephone
message apprising him of the fact that
the hosting works at the mine had
been blown up by unknown parties the
night before and that the plant was
practically a total loss. Last evening
Chief Contractor John Blowers came
in from camp and reported to Manager
LLOYD and from the latter it is learned
that the loss will be between $500 and
So. eco, outside of any damage which
may have been done to the shaft. AS
that was on fire from l o'clock yester-
day morning the hour at which the ex-
plosion occurred, up TO the time MI
Blowers left, il is feared the damage
viii amount TO several thousand dol
lars more, though before leaving Mr.
Blowers, with the assistance Of a good
force of men. had succeeded in closing
the mouth Of the shaft.
Men Had Left.
Mr.. Lloyd stated last night that the
men engaged in sinking the shaft on
the Sir Victor, which is now 420 feet
deep had been working all day and
part of the force were in the shaft till
nearly 10 o'clock Friday night. at which
time they tad fred a round of hoes and
after seeing that everything was safe
on top had left for their homes. When
the men left there was no fire about
the piace-not even in the Stove-and
as there was only a part of box or
giant powder al the mine, it is believed
that whoever the miscreants were who
committed the dassardly act, must have
carried powder TO the mine with them
and deliberately p aimed their work; not
only were the buildings and hoist COM
pletely destroyed. but great holes were
torn in the earth about the mouth of
the shaft and at other points.
Will Rebuild Works.
Who is responsible for the deed Mr..
Lloyd says he does not know, but this
morning he leaves for the mine to- size
UP the loss. on which there is not one
dollars worth of insurance, and before
returning he will. have made arrange
ments for the rebuilding of the works
and the repair of the shaft. In fact,
late yesterday afternoon he gave or
ders for lumber and other material to
be hurried out so that work could begin
without delay.
The Sir Victor is located about three

explosion was so heavy that it Jared

parts of the town, though few. if any
of them, had any idea of what had hap
