or Found In Norway.
Martin Luther's historical engage
ment ring has been found, and in the
possession OF a Norwegian peasant
woman, Sigrid Hansen Aim, In Sender
hordland, in Norway. How It came
to Norway and when is unknown, as
for centuries the ring has been an
heirloom in the family OF all the
women having the name OF Sigrid.
Two years ago the German State His
torical Museum had advertisements in
serted In continental newspapers.
Slowly the news found its way to Nor
way and was read by the Norwegian
peasant woman. The description Of
the ring tailed exactly with the ring
in possession Of the young woman.
Consul Jens Gran, In Bergner, was
notified, and at once offered the wom-
an 800 kroner for the ring, which was
refused. This is the description given
in Norwegian newspapers of the ring
found: 1T is Of silver, considerably
worn and badly scratched. Set In the
ring Is a red pearl, to represent q drop
of the blood Of Christ. On the outside
of the ring is engraved Christ on the
cross. and several of the subjects of
the c%ruciixion as the ladder, the lance,
etc., and the letters I. N. r. ]. Jesus

side OF the ring is engraved MARITIME

hearts" Through the German min
lister to Sweden and Norway every ef-
fort will be made to induce its presen..
owner to permit 1t to become the
property of the German Historical

Why Women are Nervous.

The British Medical News says: The frequent cases of nervous pros tration or utter collapse of the nervous system under which women ''go all to pieces" as the saying is, have caused much thought and in vestigation on the part of physicians. Certain inorganic substances are we'll known to cause various forms of nervous diseases which are readily traced to the poisons producing them. Further research leads to tho belief that alum is a prevailing cause of so-cslled nervons prostrs- tion, fol the symptoms it produces on the nervous system after its sb- sorption into the blood are very re- markable indeed. Experiments physiologically made upon animals by Orfila, Professor Hans Mayer. Paul Seim and others, show that alum frequently produces no visible symptoms for many days after its introduction into the body. Then follow loss of appetite and other alimeutary disturbances, and finally a serious prostration of the whole nervous system. The most prOmi- nent physicians now believe that nervous prostration" and many af- fectIons of the nerves from winch both men and women suffer are caused by the continued absorption of alum into the system.
 It IS probable that many men are unaware of the extent to which salts of alumina may be introduced into the body, being under the impression that the use of alum in bread IS pro- hiblted. Alum, however, IS used surreptitiously to some extent to whiten bread, and very largely in making cheap kinds of baking powder. In families where baking powder is generally used great care should be exercised to procure only those brands made from creum of tartar. The alum baking powders may generally be distinguished by the lower price at which they are sold.

BEAUTIFUL AND LOYAt,

The following Is taken from the Fl Paso. Texas, Herald. an independ- ert paper:
 "To have 1t go forth to the world that Fl Paso has turned traitor, and stands against the president in this matter in volving our national honor, would give this city a blow in the eyes of the American peo- ple that would not soon be healed. The Herald therefore calls upon the anti-eXpanslon- ists to wait until the war m the Philippines Is over before they take any action that would tend to give aid to the enemies of our country, and further calls upon every man Tn the city who feels that he owes a patriotic duty to his country, in time of war or any other great crisis--a duty that takes precedence. of every question of policy, politics or principle to use every means to count eract the bighting effect that this unworthy movement has had or Is likely to have, and let the word go forth that Fl Paso Is a community of loyal and patriotic citizens of the United States, who believe that our country, right or wrong, Is still our country, and must be upheld.

In conversation with Mayor Dougherty yesterday, that agreeable official informed us that while he and his co-labOreTs were happy that the city had triumphantly emerged from the water works and sewerage features of their duties in an official capacity, still there were many other questions to consider. Principally among these was the grading of ouI streets, task which would at once be undertaken and pushed speedily to completion, in so far as the principal streets figured. The county will also be asked to cooper ate in so far as their boundaries of iand permit, which if they do will be hailed with great deal of delight and satisfaction. One thing in con nection with municipal changes is said to be the probable transfer of the Goose Flat pumping plant Go the works north of town. This matter IS somewhat vexatious to many peo- pie residing in the south and is re- ceiviDg a negative regard, the argu- ment being that the present site in it's season furnishes good supply of water, and If removed to the new location cannot meet the emergency of the situation if disabled in the face of a lack of water and a sudden fire. This matter should be carefully con sidered, and DO doubt our energetic officials will regard the welfare of our people in a non-sectlonal strain in the future just as they have in the past.

The south African Bushmen Are Gttt-
 ed With Marvellous sight
 It has often been remarked that civil ized people tend to become short sighted This is because in towns and cities their vision Is mostly confined to short dis tances. Savage races. on the other hand, are generally gifted with remark ably keen sight. and few tribes are more note eworthy in this respect than the African bushmen. whose eyes are veritable telescopes. This power IS no doubt a wise provision of nature, for the bushmen are a small race, and If they were not able to see danger long way of they would soon be exterminated by their various enemies, whether saw ages Of other tribes or wild beasts
 A traveller in South Africa relates that while walking one day in company with a friendly bushman the savage suddenly stopped. and gazing across the plain cried out that there was a lion ahead The traveller gazed long and earnestly in the direction indicated by the bushman, but could see nothing. Nonsense. he said. there's nothing there And he went forward again. with the bushman following at his heels. trembling and unwilling and still asserting that he could see a lion
 Presently the native came tO a dead stop and refused to budge another inch. for this time. he declared, he could see a iioness with a number of cubs. fact which made the animal more danger ous than ever But the European, who could see no honess. much less its cubs. pushed ahead, declaring the bushman was dreaming After walking quarter of a mile, however. he could dimly make out an object moving across the horizon Still doubting that it could be the object which the bushman said he had seen. he continued to advance. and at last was able to distinguish lioness, with her cubs around her. walking leisurely toward the woods -Chums

A Woman Who Predicts Its Regen-

 There were many wild rumors in Phenix yesterday when the first In- complete news of the Jerome fire reached town. There was one man here who was present at the de struction of the camp last Septem- Der. Mrs. Thomas, one of PhenlX' representatives of the Salvation army. was there at tte same time. She was using the fire as an object lesson. a visitation of Gods wrath upon the sinful camp. She stood ID the street and prayed for the SOdom and Gemorrah of Arizona and said she was pained to see that the fire had not purified the Plsce, but had only temporarily interrupted the iniduity. She predicted that God wasn't done with Jerome yet. Since He had commenced He would re generate that town or He would have no town there.
 Her auditor mst her on the street yesterday and said; Well, 1 see you prophesied straight. God has taken another fall out of Jerome"
 Yes" replied Mrs. Thomas with the 9ardonable satisfaction of one who is on the inside. God isn't go- ing to glve up the fight with Jerome, He'll burn it up a dozen times, as fast as they can build it up. He's started m to make Jerome a Chris tjap town and it'll be Christian or Jerome might as well glVe up first as last and save money. "-

This being the case, judging from the results of the Courier's anti-exemption talk for the past two years that paper is respon- sible to some extent for the passage of the exemption laws by the last legislature, we are a little alarmed lest two years from now, if the recent experience is to be taken as a criterion and the Courier keeps up it's lick, all property throughout the territory will be exempt from tax tioD.
