A True Physician.
One summer In California a gentle.
man who had just removed from the
Sandwich Islands told me this incl
dent: You know that one of the Sand
witch Islands is devoted to lepers. Peo'
PIE getting sick of the leprosy on the
other islands are sent to the isle OF
lepers. They never come off. They
are in different stages of disease. but
all who die on that island die Of
leprosy.
On one of the islands there was a
physician who always wore his hand
gloved, and it was often discussed why
he always had glove on that hand
under all circumstances. One day he
came to the authorities, and he with
drew his glove, and he said to the
officers of the law: You see on that
hand spot OF the leprosy and that
ain doomed to die. | might hide this
for little while and keep away from
the isle of lepers; but l am physi-
clan, and can go on that island and
administer to the sufferings of those
who are farther gone in the disease,
and l should like to go now. 1t would
be selfish in me to stay amid the lux
urious surroundings when l might be
of so much help to the wretched. Send
me to the isle of the lepers?" They.
seeing the spot of leprosy, of course
took the man into custody. He babe
farewell to his family and his friends.
1t was an agonizing farewell. He
could never see them again. He was
taken to the isle Of the lepers and
there wrought among the sick until
Frustrated by his own death, which at
last came. Oh, that was magnificent
self denial, magnificent sacrifice, only
surpassed by that of him who exiled
himself from the health of heaven to
this leprous island of world that he
might physician our wounds and weep
our griefs and die our deaths, turning
the isle of leprous world into a
great, blooming, glorious garden!
Whether employer or employe. let US
catch that spirit.

An Artistic MIl.iner.

CARVED A TOME


IL
In 1t.
Angels Camp CCal) special San
Francisco Call: A unique burial took
place at Altaville cemetery yesterday.
Allen Taylor, pioneer, died at his
home on Thursday, and his family at
once consulted John Carley, an under
taker with whom the aged marble
worker had made arrangements four
years ago in regard to his burial. A
grave which the old man had prepared
was opened and in it was found mar
BILE box just large enough to receive a
body without a casket of any kind.
Taylor had some bitter disappoint-
ments in his family few years ago,
and since then life has had little in
terest for him. He conceived the idea
of constructing his own grave, cut the
marble and placed the box in a secure
position. He then called the under
taker. and after showing him the grave
was told that it was too small for the
reception of a casket, at which he
laughed, stating that he wished to be
buried that way, so in respect to his
wishes the body was draped in a
shroud, placed on a covered bier and
borne to it's last resting place by his
pioneer friends, where it was lowered
into the white marble receptacle made
by the hands which are now at rest
within.

How to Grow Stout.

Columns Of conflicting advice have
oeen written from time to time for
the benefit of women who wish to get
thin. and as it is not enough for the
woman who desires to put on little
extra flesh to draw her conclusions
from the reverse side of the fleshy wo-
mans instructions. she is coming in
for a goodly share of counsel, too,
which is all excellent in a way. but
the regime of exercise and diet which
is advised for perfect development
from the standard of too much or too
little flesh is usually an absorbing
process which leaves very little time
for other things, and the average wo-
man soon wearies of it if she has the
courage to attempt it at all. The SIM
pie recipe, Eat vegetables and plenty
of butter, drink milk and sweet cider;
take cod liver oil, go to bed early,
sleep some during each day and laugh
as much as possible" will often help
the thin woman immensely. Cream
may be substituted for the cod liver
oil if preferred

HE FLED FROM PERU.
AFTER SUFFERING BRUTAL OUT
RACES FROM NATIVE.
Edward Gottfried,. While Repres en- tins
the United States. Strung Up by the
Thumbs. by n. Band of Peruvian Rebels
-Claims 100000 Indemnity.
IWilkesbarre. Pa. Letter.

=
A tale Of torture and amazing out
RACES in Peru, of which Mr.. Edward
Gottfried of this city, recently our
consular agent at Trujillo was the un-
willing hero, comes to light with the
return to his home of the victim Of
the atrocities. and the lodging of a
claim for 100000 indemnity which the
state department will press for collec-
ton.
The story related by Mr.. Gottfried
almost passes belief, but 1t is attested
by many prominent Peruvians, among
them some members of the govern
ment, who were eye witnesses of the
outrage. which left Mr.. Gottfried ner-
vous and physical wreck.
Mr.. Gottfried in 1898 lived at haci-
enda near Haamachuco, about 100
miles from the coast. His family con-
sisted of himself, his wife, six children
and Miss Zollner, German governess,
besides the servants.
On the morning of August 2S band
Of rebels under Colonel Verastegui sur
rounded the house and looted the resi-
dence and outbuildings. They then
demanded $4,000 in money and twenty
five rifles. Mr.. Gottfried was dragged
before the rebel colonel and protested
that he was an American citizen and
consular agent of the government.
The colonel smiled sardonically and
ordered Mr.. Gottfried to be strung up
by the thumbs and he was drawn up
until his feet barely touched the
ground. Then rifles were hung upon
his shoulders until the weight stretch
ed out his thumbs and his feet stood
fatty upon the ground. The thumbs
were broken and the cords of the
wrists were drawn out, and the victim
of this devilish torture tainted from
agony.
He was let down and revived, several
times, and again subjected to tor
ture. Not only was he suspended by
the thumbs, but his fingers were
wrapped with cords so tightly that the
blood burst from their ends. His fin

1t is a mistaken idea that actresses
are as a general rule handsomer on
the stage than off, writes Franklin
Fyles in the Ladies' Home Journal.
The reverse is as likely to be true.
Nevertheless. all theatrical faces have
to be painted 1t may be assumed safe
ly that none of the complexion Is gen.
uine. An exceptionally clear and pink
skin may require no falsity. A dark
one may chance to suit the character
to be assumed.
But these exceptions to the rule are
rare. The glare of artificial light
would make most faces CHASTITY white
or unpleasantly sallOw If bright hues
were not laid on. The art of coloring
a pretty visage just enough, and not
overriding it, is one which all actresses
should learn. Many do not, and so
we see beauty disfgured instead Of en-
HANGED. Others are very expert. There
are two distinct processes. One makes
use of colored powders applied dry.
The other mixes the same powders
with grease, making a substance
called grease paint.

Tip on Sum mer Decorations.

There are no more dainty patterns
in wall papers this season. Severity
and strict soberness are the watch
words of the wall furnishings OF
dwelling rooms, and the white and
gold era fades away in abundant
shadows. According to the dealers in
wall papers, old fashions are to be re-
vived. The colonial primness is in
favor, and when a modern house is
dressed up in the primary colors as
to wall papers it has a dignity that re-
minds one of the square coats and
knee breaches of a past generation.
One of the patterns used in the new
home of Mrs. Andrew Carnegie Is
made up of verticle stripes in various
colors. They are red and green, yell
low. blue and violet hues that make
striking combination. Other pat
terms are of flowers of the oldfash-
Toned kind-hollyhocks, morning glo-
ries, honeysuckle, dahlias, etc.

Exciting Fight with snakes.

Frank Purnell of Bebee Run, Cum
berland county, had a fight Saturday
with two black snakes. which came
near getting the better of him. He saw
them basking in the sun, and thought
he would kill them. He claims each
would measure five feet, and while
tackling one the other rushed at him.
In his fight he was well nigh exhaust
ed, when the reptiles gave up and took
to the woods.-Newark IN. j. News.

gers were disjointed, and he was cut
and bruised in many parts of his body.
Finally, Mr.. Gottfried, almost dead
from suffering, agreed to pay over all
the money he had and eighteen rifles,
promising to make up the deficit later
on. One of his servants attempted to
aid him and was beaten until life was
almost extinct.
Meanwhile the premises were being
looted and the women terrorized.
Again Mr.. Gottfried protested
against the robbery, reminding the
colonel that he was not only an Am
erican citizen, but a representative of
the republic.
"All right. Tell your government to
send ships up into our mountains"
jeered the insurgent leader.
The rebel colonel then told Mr..
Gottfried that If he would renounce
in writing all intention to lodge a
claim against the government of Peru
the rifles would be returned, but Mr..
Gottfried declined
An armed rebel guard was kept
around the house for long time. At
last, one night when when Mr.. Gott-
fried's wounds had partly healed, a
sympathizer crept to his side and wh:s-
