THE EXTREME OF FOLLY

THE EXTREME OF FOLLY.
The most foolhardy man who ever
risked his life, or the most infatuated
gambler who ever risked his fortune, is
a sage compared with the man who
attempts to get the best of Nature.
The foolhardy man may succeed. The
gambler may win. But the man who
takes chances with Nature is bound to
lose. If the obituaries of tens of thou
sands who are cut down annually in
life's prime were truly written death
would not be attributed to this or that
form of disease, but to an attempt to
evade the necessary laws of health.
The weak spot in the modern man Is
his stomach. It is in disease of the
stomach that many of the maladies
begin which carry off the busy men of
the day. The seed of disease once
planted in the stomach grows and
spreads like some climbing parasite
about tree. 1t throws out a tendril
about the heart and presently another
which grips the lungs, and others again
which take hold of kidneys and liver.
Then suddenly the man is smitten by
heart disease or lung disease; or sue
cumbs to some malady of kidneys or
liver. The real seat of disease is the
stomach. And one of the reasons why
the diseases of the other organs often
fail of a cure is that the treatment
ignores the stomach, and attempts to
treat directly the other organs, whose
diseases are only symptoms of disease
of the stomach and other organs of
digestion and nutrition.
THERE'S PLENTY OF PROOF
Of the soundness of the proposition that
diseases of other organs remote from
the stomach which are caused by dis
ease of the stomach must be cured
through the stomach, and, in fact, can
not be cured in any other way. The
best proof in the world is that Doctor

The Dog and the Bantam.

The strange friendships that some.
times exist between animals that are
by nature enemies have q new varia-
ton in the deep attachment between
dog and a chicken. The dog had
belonged to a certain family in city
days before the suburbs were in its
plan. Afterward the attempt to raise
chickens was idle because Of his se-
rious objections that were made plain
whenever stray chicken crossed his
path, unless that one happened to be
the little bantam hen. Finally all
the others were disposed Of, and the
two odd companions continued to spend
their time together. The little hen

licks her feathers, or she perches on

BURR FOUND THE ASSASSIN.
Famous Lawyer Once Cleared His CIi-

Famous Lawyer Once Cleared His CIi-
ent of Murder.
"I was particularly Interested" said
an old Washington lawyer the other
day, speaking Of the Manhattan well
crime, "in the paragraph that describ
ed Aaron Burr's dramatic act in hold
ing pair of lighted candles in the
face of a spectator in the courtroom
and shouting, Gentlemen, here is the
real murderer do not question this,
but I remember that Jere Clemens,
once a famous United States senator
from Alabama, told Of trial in which
Burr appeared for the defense of
man charged with murder. My recol-
lection is that the trial was in the
southwest. When Burr addressed the
Jury 1t was night. The guilty man
was In the room. He had been the
principal witness for the prosecution.
but Burr had learned that this witness
was the assassin, and in closing his
address for his client he picked up two
lighted candles from the table and
holding them in the face of the wit
ness referred to, he exclaimed: Gen
tlemen Of the jury, there is natures

he wrote an historical novel called

The book is out of print and has been
for many years. But it had a great
sale, particularly in the south, before
the civil war, for Clemens was a typi-
cal southern orator, and q man of
wonderful personal magnetism. The
object of the novel was to make Burr
hero, and to besrnirch Hamilton's s
character. In one chapter where Burr
was high in the esteem of Washington,
the latter is represented as reading a
letter from Hamilton in which Hamil-
ron detailed some scandaloua gossip
about Burr. Burr was standing behind
Washington during the reading Of the
letter. Washington incensed at the
contents of the letter, turned quickly
and saw Burr, to whom he said: How
dare you read my letter over my
shoulder?' Burr, as Clemens repre-
sents. stung to the quick, drew him
self up and replied with all the haut-
eur Of his nature: When your majes-

HOPE FOR NEW ENGLAND.
Fer Cotton Mills Not Hurt by Southern
Competition.

.'There has been much talk of recent
years of the growing manufacture OF
cotton in the South" writes John Gil.
mer Speed in Ainslee's Magazine,
''and it has even been intimated that
the increase in the number Of spin
dies in the South was menace to the
industry in the North. Undoubtedly
there was apprehension in Fall River
or thereabouts six OF eight years ago,
and some capitalists felt the cotton
manufacturing property in New Eng
land was doomed. Such, however,
was the fear of the timid and the
easily scared. The cotton industry
in New England is likely to keep on
growing and to remain prosperous so
long as the world demands such tre-
mendous quantity of cotton cloth.
Manchester and the people of Eng
land will feel the pinch of Southern
competition long before Fall River
and Providence. But unquestionably
the South is to be congratulated on
the brave start that has been mace in
what is in that section new industry.
There are one hundred millions of
spindles in the world. OF these,
II, $40, 900 are in the United States,
and 3,50O,O00 are in the Southern
States. So we see that while in the coun-
try seventeen and one-half per cent. of
the cotton cloth of the world is woven,
that in the Southern States twenty
per cent of this is made. This is
more than beginning. 1t is brave
achievement. But it is silly and timid
to have fears for New England. New
England is thousands of miles nearer
the cotton fields than old England,
and old England last year made forty
five per cent. of the cotton cloth of
the world, and in Continental Europe
thirty -one and one-third per cent. was
made. Those are the fields upon
which the Southern industry will en-
croach, if it must encroach upon any.
But it is likely that the increased con-
sumption of cotton cloth will always
keep up with the increase in the num-
ber of spindles. There is no fear in
the world, that is, no reasonable fear,
that New England will not be able to
take care of herself"

LAKES FAR ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
Mysterious Eodiex of water Found in
the CordilleraA

tho Cordiuer8R.
From Crucero Alto, the highest town
in the world, the Southern railroad of
Peru drops into Lake Lagunillas, or
lake region OF the Cordilleras, where,
group of large lakes of very cold
pure water without inlet or outlet,
says the Boston Journal. They re-
ceive the drainage of the surround
ing hills, and conceal it some
where, but there is no visible means of
It's escape. A fringe of ice forms
around the edges of the lakes every
night the year round, yet they contain
an excellent variety of fish called the
pe1erray, which is caught near the
shore and sold at Puma and in other
neighboring towns The two largest
lakes, Sarachocha and Cachipascana,
with several smaller ones in the same
nelghborhood, are owned by the family
OF Mr.. Romania of Arequipa, who has
just been elected president of Peru.
He owns immense tracts of land in
this locality, with thousands o. sheep,
cattle, lamas, alpacas and yicunas.
which are herded upon it. A curious
phenomenon about the lakes is that
they keep at the same level all the
time, regardless of dry and rainy sea-
sons. No amount of rain will make
any difference with their depth, which.
however, in the center is unknown.
And this adds to the awe and mystery
with which they are regarded by the
Indians. There are no boats upon the
lakes except a few small balsas, or
RATS, made Of bundles Of straw, which
keep very close to the shore for fear
OF being drawn into the whirlpools
that are said to exist in the center.
There is some foundation for this fear.
for only two or three years ago a
balsa containing five men disappeared
in the darkness, and 1t was never heard
OF again. OF course, it may have been
tipped over and it's occupants have
been paralyzed by the cold water in
an ordinary way, but their bodies were
never recovered. nor did the balsa
ever float to shore. Therefore the peo-
pie think the whole party was lured
into maelstrom and swallowed I'D
by the mysterious waters. The whirl-
pool near the center of Lake Popo,
which receives the waters of Lake
Titicaca, is well known, and hundreds
OF men have lost their lives by ven
turing too near it. Boats that are
drawn into the current are whirled
around swiftly few times and then
disappear. For the protection of navi-
gators the government of Bolivia has
anchored lot of buoys in Lake Popo,
and boatmen who observe them are in
no danger. There is supposed to be
an underground outflow from all these
lakes. 1t is claimed that articles which
have been thrown into their waters
have afterwards been picked up on the
seacoast near Africa, and careful OBJ
servers say that on the beach in that
locality are frequently found corn
stalks, reeds and other debris which
do not grow on the coast, but are found
in great abundance among the interior
lakes.
