Capt. 10. A. Wilson was out on the bluff,
last Sunday, looking at the river. While
m~editating over the matter he saw a
colored couple approaching. The woman
was a small, silly thing, who seemed to
think that she had a distinguished beau,
and must entertain him. The man was a
strapping big fellow, who acted as though
intended to buy some more pretty soon,
They gazed at the surging flood for a
minute, and the woman, In a baby voice
remarked: ode ribbah am tolable high

Anecdote of Heureaux.

Some years ago conspiracy headed
by several prominent young men OF
the Santo Domingo republic, who hop
ed to gain wealth and position through
the death Of Heureaux, attempted to
take his life ana start revolution.
Their plot was clcverly planned and
seemingly sure OF success, for the pres

time he was fully posted In every de-
tail of their scheme, and when their
plans were fully matured and their
time for action Mt hand he had them
all arrested and thrown into the dun
geons Of the old Notifications.
The penalty for crimes of this sort
Is always death. So soon after their
arrest they were drawn up In line on
the old parade grounds within the
walls OF the old fort and told to pre-
pare for death, after which the firing
squad lined up In front OF them and
were ordered TO fire. Az they did 50
one man fell.
The president, who was witness,
then stepped forward and said: "My
children. you have attempted to ruin
your country and take my life, and
for this you are legally subject to

WHEN FASTING is FATAL.
Loss of Weight below Certain
Point uFings Dentb,

Point brings Denth,
During a long fast the duily loss of
weight becomes gradually less and
less. Death comes when the total loss
has reached n certain percentage,
which percentage varies with the orig,
innl weight. Fat animals may lose
half their weight. thinner ones per.
haps two-Gfths.
A man or woman OF rather spare
habit, weighing 143 pounds, could.
therefore, lose about IS pounds before
succumblng. Heart action, respiration
and blood pressure remain unaltered
during starvation, but the tempera,
ture Of the body falls nearly q degree
Ia most cases The secretion of gastric
juice ceases. but saliva and bile are
still formed. The duration Of life de-
ponds upon the extent and activity OF
the physiological processes.
Children die after II fast of from
three 10 five days, during which they
have lost quarter Of their weight.
Healthy adults, however, have tasted
60 days when water has been taken.
DR.. Schacffer, German physician,
notes the case of n woman, aged AZ,
who died after II fast Of 43 days, dur
Ing which she drank water freely.
