Sand n Cure for Dyspepsia.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Eat half a teaspoonful of sand day and
you'll be healthy" says Louis Corners,
who keeps bakery at No. 2G21 Wabash
avenue.
Corners takes his own medicine and swal-
lows a mouthful Of sand in a glass of
water every twenty-four hours. He de-
clares that he thrives on the peculiar diet,
and that all of his family are sand eaters,
more or less.
No, I don't buy 1t at the drug store; sea
sand nor none O. that" says Corners: 'I
just dip up cupful of sand and silt and
drift all mixed up out on the lake front.
Then I wash the dirt out of it and eat the
sand. I think it probably would do just as
we'll to eat dirt and all, but I'm little par
ticular about my diet"
Corners theory is that every human
being like some lower animals, needs a
certain amount of sand in the stomach to
aid digestion.
FIR instance a canary bird" says Con-
Eers, will die in a few days unless 1t gets
sand or something of that kind to eat A
child, If it's allowed to crawl around, will
eat dirt. lots of 1t. and then the mothers
invariably give their children a prompt
spanking for doing the very thing that's
good for them"
Corners has been eating sand about six
months. and declares he hasn't had a
diet.

THE PORT OF BOTTLES.
4 SPOT From Which No Floating Flask
Can Get Away.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
There is dead spot in the Caribbean
sea-" said the first officer of a Brazilian
ship chatting at the custom house the
other day, that ought to be called the
port of bottles. 1t lies very nearly mid
way between Cartagena, in Colombia, and
Kingston, Jamaica, and at a guess I should
say it was due east to Cape Gracias a
Dios. 1t is out of the steamer tracks, and
the action of the great currents going one
way and another has left a space of stag
nant water without any real movement at
all. Anything that gets into the dead spot
is apt to stay there unless driven out by
some big storm. and will simply drift
round and round gathering seagrass and
barnacles.
THE last time 1 saw the place was in '95,
wren l was on board tramp from Rio
that had changed its course little to take
up some rubber at a Central American
port. While we were passing through we
noticed a floating SPAR and among a lot of
rubbish attached to it was a peculiar look
ing round object, bright red in color. We
put off boat to investigate and it proved
to be patent buoy, which had been set
adrift from a Florida lighthouse station in
49, and was part of a systematic attempt
to ascertain the speed and direction of cur
rents. Inside was an Official memoranda
which was afterWard returned to the Navy
Department with data of when and where
round. But what is a good deal more in
teresting is the fact that while we were Sc
curing the buoy we discovered three bot
ties sticking in the drift, all covered with
weeds and slime. One was empty and the
other two had papers inside. The first was
a memoranda that the bottle had been
dropped from a yacht off the Grand Cay
man In, l think, the year 1892, and the
other Enclosure showed that it came from
a ship bound for Montevideo, on what date
forget. In each case 1t was evidently the
whim of some idle passenger, but 1t was a
little odd that we should find the whole
collection together.
L noticed lot of other driftwood In the
dead spot, and I am confident that no end
of bottles could be culled from the place
Hundreds are dropped overheard every
year, but very few escape being knocked
to pieces unless they happen to find their
way to some such a still Place as 1 have
described.

and low, taking them as they came, would
rather not accept the hoodoo; some re-
fusng outright, and others, not that they
had any real belief in it, but they were
not disposed to take any chances. Their
refusals were generally accompanied by
series of dry grins. more or less uneasy
laughter and tendency to look foolish.
A widely-known and successful dramatic
writer agreed to accept it, at which l was
a little surprised, as 1t was Friday that

How He Went to War.
Though he enjoyed student life at Fay
cite immensely, he did not finish the course
of study there. 1t was interrupted by the
civil war. One of his best friends was a
student named W. w. Warner. In August,
1861 while the war was still young, Hem
derson and Warner spent a Sunday even-
ing with Warmers sisters. Later in the
night Henderson told Warner he was
ashamed of himself because he had not
enlisted volunteer in the army of the
north. 1t would be pity to leave school,
he said. but the country needed young men
just then. The friends talked long and ear
nestly over the situation and the result
was a plan the elimination of which oc-
CURED at Fayette on September Is. Hen-
derson was then twenty-one.
On the morning of that day, Just after
prayers, young Henderson, who, with
Warner and another student named Burr,
had been working quietly among the stu-
dents at their conspiracy" arose and
asked permission to say a few words "on a
subject of vital interest to every one pres
ent." He had no complaint no protest 20
make. he said but he wished earnestly to
be heard. This was an entirely novel propo<
stion. and the faculty hesitated, but permi4-
sion was finally given. Then the youngster
stood out upon the floor and made his first
war speech" He dwelt upon the governs
ment's need for the services Of its strong
young sons and declared it to be the duty
of all who could to rush to the front His
effort eliminated in a whirlwind of passion

he read series of resolutions setting forth
the situation in sober phrase, and conclud-
ing with this paragraph:
We therefore drop our books to fight
our country's battles"
To this was appended a muster roll bears
ing the names of twenty-five students, the
flower of the schools student body.
Before he went to the front Henderson
enlisted 104 more volunteers, and thus the
career of this typical American soldier
professional man and statesman was begun.
His war record is known to all the world.
Though offered captains place, he said
he was too young, and so was made second
lieutenant. Twice he was wounded, once
in the face, when he was first under fire,
and once below the knee, which made ans
