ANTI-FREAK LAW.
To Prevent the Exhibition of Deformed
Persons to BE Tested.


Chicago Chronicles: George Middle
ION of the Clark Street Dime Museum
has been arrested for violation OF the
new freak law, which went into effect
July /. A warrant sworn out by A. j.
Dickson, a collector, was served upon
Mr.. Middleton yesterday morning
while he was in conference with his
Barney Nelson. the armless colored boy
named in the bill as the freak In ques-
ton, drew crayon portraits yesterday
with as little concern as though his
means of earning a living were not up
for final settlement. The freak and
criminal law, which prohibits the pub
lie exhibition of deformed persons or
those persons bearing criminal no.
toriety, is an outgrowth, it is said by
museum proprietors, of disagreement
between Mr.. Middleton and Represen-
tative Stephen Malato. During the an
archists' trial Nina Van Zandt gained
considerable notoriety through her en-
gagement to Anarchist Spies, a leader
of the movement. Portraits OF both
Nina and her lover were bought and
exhibited by the Clark street museum.
Later, when the girl married Repre-
sentative Malato, she regretted the
hanging of her portrait and tried to
have it removed from the public gaze.
The museum people refused, knowing
that the picture was among the most
interesting of their collection. For
many years the battle ragged before it
finally found expression in the anti
freak bill, which was aimed as the
death blow to the museum business.

Another pretty little story has been
spoiled and another tale OF marvellous
fortune laid away on the same shelf as
the legends of unlimited gold finds In
the Klondike. A young man who paid
"a for an old coat at South Side auc-
ton, and who found $4,000 in bonds in
the inside pocket, has learned that his
bonds are worthless and that his profit
of 1896 has vanished utterly. 1t is
Just as well. That story would have
been quoted at every gathering OF un-
lucky men for thirty years to come,
and would have shared honors with the
narrative of the farmer whose plow

ing $4S,597 IN Spanish gold and a chart
locating the rest of Capt. Kids buried

But let us all surrender to the charge.
What an ado about things here. What
poor preparations for a great eternity.
AS though a minnow were larger than

though a nettle were taller than a

though time were higher. deeper,
broader than eternity. So the text
which flashed with lightning Of wit as
Christ uttered it, is followed by the
crashing thunders of awful catastrophe
to those who make the questions or
time greater than the questions OF the
future, the oncoming, overshadowing
future. Oh, Eternity! Eternity! Eter-

Mcteors Fall In Africa.

A fine collection of meteorltes has
Just been added to the department of
minerals in the British museum. 1t
consists of four stones which were seen
to fall on January 25 in the native
villages on the eastern slopes of Mt.
Zombo, British Central Africa. Two of
them weighed fourteen and seventeen
ounces, respectively, and the other two
twenty-nine and nineteen ounces. At
Zomba crash like thunder was heard,
and the reverberations lasted for few
minutes afterward, and the defamation
was heard at place ninety miles dis
tant. At one of the new villages the
people were found squatting around
the stone in a circle discussing the
miracle, as they termed it. None
would approach the stone, and II was
still lying where 1t fell when the Off
Gals arrived. AS far as It is at present
known, the area over which the Zomba
stones fell represented nine miles long
and about three miles wide.-Scientific
American.

The death of valuable cattle from
eating wild cherry leaves in New
Hampshire has led to investigations
which show that while the wild red
cherry and horse plum are harmless,
the dwarf cherry should be viewed
with suspicion, and the wild black
cherry and choke cherry are danger
GUS. The common impression that
only wilted leaves are harmful was not
verified. Both wilted and fresh leaves
were found to be poisonous and dried
leaves not beyond dlstrust. Vigorous,
succulent leaves from young shoots
the ones most likely to be eaten by cat
tle-are far more poisonous than the
leaves of a mature tree or stunted
shrub. To sum up the facts in the
most forcible terms, the farmer who
permits these trees to flourish is sim
ply cultivating prussic acid in his own
pasture.

Value of the Experiment Station
In speaking of the experiment stations

man is at the head of the station he

stand, they ought to go to the expert
ment stations for help. You may be
sure the help will be forthcoming"

Where Ladies Coal Ships and Resent
Being CURED.

Being cured.
From st. James Budget: Mary
Kingsley tells an amusing story about
West African woman. There was a
beautiful young black government OFF,
cial, in uniform complete, and fate
ordained one day that he Should be told
off to superintend the coaling of lit
tie gunboat. The coaling was being
done by ladies. He, full of zeal and
DESTROYS of demonstrating it, shouted,
talked and gave directions to those la
dies, as he stood, uniform and all, I'M
der the government flag, on the gov
eminent quay. They went on with
their work merrily and paid no atten-
ton to him. Presently, other govern
ment officials being about, he, still de-
sirous of demonstrating zeal, cuffed
one of the ladies and said something
disagreeable. They turned upon him,
threw him into the thin black batter
that goes for water in that part of her
majesty's dominions, and went on with
their work. A sicker chicken than that
man when he returned to society you
never saw. His uniform you could not
see for mud, and the other government
officials behaved in an unfeeling way.
They roared with laughter.

be so nervous and sleepless at night that
It would be impossible for me TO get any

more tired than when going to bed.
My liver was so bad that my complexion
was very yellow and even the whites of
my eyes were yellow 1t seemed impos-
