New Fad in Sealing Letters.

My lady has a new fad about her
papeterie which this time has nothing
to do with the size Or shape of the en-
velope Or the tint of the paper. When
she seals her letters now the up-to-
date girl no longer puts the seal in the
apex of the triangle made by the flap
of the envelope, but carefully sets it
about two inches to the left as the en-
velope lies addressed side down on her
writing table. Just what the reason
for this is or what the origin of it is
none of the fair ones who are following
the fad seems to be exactly sure. Its
so novel. thought one of them ex-
planned, "and the seal really looks much
more artistic Off to one side than plant
ed right in the center. Chicago Times

A Sad Accident.

An accident occurred at Isle Royale on
Wednesday last which resulted in lady
being drowned in the arms of her hus-
bond. It appears that an outing party
from Chicago consisting of two gentle
men and their wives were out fishing in
row boat when one of the ladies caught
a large fish on her hook. Il being her
first fish she became excited and in her
efforts to land the fish it seems the
whole party became excited with the
result that the boat was capsized. This
lady's husband caught her in his arms
and in his efforts to save her it is said
that the boat was over turned three
times. She was still in the arms of her
husband when picked up, but could not
be resuscitated. The sorrowing husband
took his wife's remains to Duluth on
the Dixon Thursday night.

COPpER-LINED STOMACHS.
Remarkable GastronomicaI Feats
of an EnEIishman and an
American.

John Collins, who has lately distin-
guished himself by swallowing 81 peb-
bles and has come out Of Peterbor-
ough infrmary, where he has been in
confinement as the consequence of this
feat, no doubt thinks he has beaten the
record. He is mistaken, however. A
much more remarka BILE feat is recorded
in the museum of Guys hospital, where
they have some scraps Of pocket knives
that have been swallowed by one John
Cummings, an American sailor. He
and his mates went to a fair and saw
a :mountebank doing. some wonderful
things in the way Of swallowing knives
Most of them were greatly impressed
by the performance, but Cummings
made light of it, and declared he could
do the same if he liked. On being
dared to do it, he took out his own
pocketknife and bolted it. His ship
mates were naturally delighted. They
piled him with grog and aiTectionately
encouraged him to still further achieve
ments. Cummings boldly declared his
readiness to swallow all the pocket
knives On shipboard. Three were in
stantly offered him, and he actually
swallowed them all. One of the four
he seemed to have permanently appro-
printed, and for six years he expert
mented no more in this way. Even
tually, however, he tried few more
of these somewhat indigestible articles
OF diet, and, it was said, would swal-
low a knife with the utmost indiffer-
ence.
When Cummings told his story to the
doctors, as, of course, he had to do in
the end, they thought him a mono
maniac and were inclined to pay no at
tention to it. External examination,
however, showed that a metal point
had perforated the wall Of the stom-
ach and induced the hospital author
tiles to administer powerful solvents in
order, if possible, to get rid of the OBJ
structive~ fragments of this singular
dietary. Perhaps the stomach which
had held out against pocketknives gave
in to the doctors strong medicine. At
all events, the man died, and they have
on show at Guys some 40 or so scraps
of metal blades and bits of handles and
other component parts of pocketknives
all testifying to the truth of the story
the man had told and proving indis-
putably that he had long been in the
habit of amusing himself OF astonish-
ing his friends or perhaps turning an
honest penny occasionally in this orig
inal way. Collins certainly has beaten
him by coming out of the infirmary
alive.-London News.

WASHINGTON IRvING,s LOVE.
A Cherished Memory Which Re-
mained with the Gentle Humor-
list Through Life.

No man of letters has ever held a
warmer place in the affections Of his
eountrymen than Washington Irving.
When a"the gentle hunorist' died,
commercial New York few flags at
half-mast, and the city government
recognized his departure asan occasion
for public mourning. His life feltthe
touches Of romance.
7 Once the hand Of Washington was
laid on IrviDg's head, and neither as
boy nor man did he forget the blessing
then given. He was born in New York,
a few months before the British evacu-
ated the city, and his patriotic mother
said: 49,.
"Washington's work is ended, and the
child shall be named after him"
One day the child Scotch nurse saw
Washington enter a store, and followed
him in.
"Please, your honor" said she,
there's a. BARN was named after YOU
Washington tenderly blessed the boy.
It was while Irving was engaged in
writing his most humorous book,
':Knickerbocker's History of New
York. that there came to him the TO
nance of a. great sorrow. Miss Hoff-
man, to whom ne was engaged to be
married, died after a brief illness. This
death cause his life to lack "the great
event of marriage" and bequeathed a
cherished memory, which neither time
nor activity effaced
When Irving died, in his seventy
sixth year, "a lock to which he himself
had kept the key" says Mr. DeWolfe
Howe, in his "American Bookmen,' -
was found to guard a braid of hair
and beautiful Esiniature, with slip
of paper marked in his own handwrit-
ing, Matilda Hoffman, No less faith
fully had be kept her Bible and Prayer
Book throughout his life"
Irving's publisher, G. P. Putnam,
said that 40 years after Miss Hoffman's
death, he had the miniature retouched
and remounted for it's possessor, then
6s years old. "When I returned it to
him in a suitable velvet case, he took
it to quiet corner and looked intent
~ on the face for some minutes, ap-
parently unobserved, his tears falling
freely on the glass as he gazed."
''Who shall say asks Mr.. Howe, "that
the eherishing of such memory as
this did not find its direct expression
in the gentle, chivalry with which he
bore himself as writer and as a man,
towards all women?''
Yes, "seme griefs are medicinable"
they humanize the soul. - Youths

abe watched the lighted towns go by
one by one until the dawn. Then the
train dashed through the misty wilds
Of Cumberland, past streams and
heather and moors, and at last she was
in her own land. flying through the
Scots Lowlands, laundering across the
great Forth bridge, and its rival that
spans the broad waters of the Tay. She
drew near her home and the scenery
became more familiar; every spot she
passed was bright with memories of
childhood The train slowed down ard
stopped. She got out, left her luggage
at the station. and walked towards her
home.
In ten minutes she had reached the
house. II looked more cold and gray
han ever after the brilliance OF Lon

ed for a minute or two. and then struck
It again. Presently faint shutting foot

o, am so happy, Jeannle.' And she
tried to pass her. but the old woman
stood in the way, the tears rolling down
her face.
The girl shivered in her rich sables
and stepped back.
JEANNE JEANNE, what Is TT Lot
me by" she cried. and, pushing her
aside, she rushed into the dark dining
room where her father was wont to sit.
The oaken chair was empty, but the
Bible lay on the table-open at the
Book Of Ruth. One passage was mark
ed with blue pencil. II was the verse
beginning: "Entreat me not TO leave
thee" The blue pencil had dropped
on the floor.
JEANNE had followed her into the
room with totterlng steps.

"He Is not here. tell ye." shrieked

drag her from the room.
Ruth shook OF her feeble hold and
turned upon her like tigress.

The old woman moaned TO herself,
then orawled to the window. There
was a distant view OF the kirkyard on
the side Of the purple hill. The setting
sun fell on the white stones and they
glittered like stars. She pointed her
skinny finger In silence and then croak-
ed,

At this time IL is particularly neces-
sary for all to guard the purity Of the
milk supply. Especially is this advice
applicable to all that are producing
milk for use in the great cities. Re-
Gently representative of the Farm
ers' Review called on an army surgeon
located at Fort Sheridan. The surgeon
called special attention to the fact that
many of the returned soldiers had
been, or we're, now sick with typhoid
fever at their homes in the country.
The well water in such cases is almost
sure to become contaminated, and IL
not the well water, then the germs are
more than likely to get into utensils
used in the handling OF milk. These
germs live in the ground for years, and
during all of that time are constantly
moved from their first positions by
rains and drouths. being driven
through the soil by the lateral move
ment OF capillary water and otherwise.
In this way 1t may take wears for them
to progress from q sewer or vault to
the drinking water, but sooner or later
they find their way into the liquid that
is used for all purposes and then null
tiply for work.
All drinking water should be under
suspicion, and should be boiled. ALI
milk used in the households should be
pasteurized. The cans in which milk
Is to be sent to the cities and cream
cries should be purified at least by
boiling and by steam II possible. II we
are to make war on disease germs we
must begin with dairy products and
dairy surroundings. Very often a we'll
has been the means Of spreading ty-
phoid fever through a whole commtp-
ity, sometimes taking of several mem
bers from a single household. This
occurs often with wells that are be-
lieved to be pure. When such a well
becomes contaminated II not only
threatens Its immediate neighborhood,
but many other communities. We will
suppose that such well is used for
the washing OF cans and other utensils
employed In the dairy. The milk is
sent In the cans to the creamery and
the milk is there mixed with milk
from a hundred other farms. The
skinned milk is returned to the farm
ers, and the cream is made up into
butter to be sent into thousand
homes. In this way the disease germs
are carried into the homes Of the
many. Disease breaks out and the
physicians are utterly unable to trace
1t. 1t is called mysterious.
The dairy is especially to be looked
after for the reason that dairy prod.
ucts are consumed largely In an un
cooked state. Dirt and carelessness In
the dairy are responsible for many o
the Ills endured both by the dairymaI
and the general public.
