A Curious Lawsuit.

A curious lawsuit is in progress at
Kansas. City, Kan. brought by S. K.
Howe against the Armour Packing
company. to recover fourteen acres of
river front occupied by the packing
houses. The old man tells a veritable
Robinson Crusoe story. Many years
ago he took UP his abode on a little
island in the Missouri river, living in
a hut with a dog and a few fowls for
his only companions. He was lord of
the domain, and no one questioned the
fact. Finally the stream changed its
course, and what was an island became
valuable river front, and the Armour
company forced him off.

AMUSED DISRAELI
And Then Became His Secretary and
Close Friend for Life.


Lord Rowton, a very thin, pale man
with the quietest manner Imaginable,
is not ones ideal of dashing Irish
man, but at the same time he is a de-
tlghtful talker, with witty tongue,
and has a charming manner, says a
writer. His old nickname, was Monty
Cory" and when young fellow he
was brim full of fun and frolie As
may be supposed, he was a much de-
sired guest at country houses, where
he invariably proved "the life Of the
party" 1t was under these circum-
stances that he first attracted the at
tention Of the late Lord Beaconsfield.
Disraeli was never happy when one of
house party in the country. His wife
used 90 declare that feeling bored and
not Gin touch" with the rest of the
party, he used to sulk and eat too
much instead of talkin at dinner. This
made him inclined to be bilious, and
she would be under the necessity of
taking him home to Hughenden to re-
cover. One evening, when IN one of
these low-spirited moods, he heard
shouts and peals of delighted laughter
proceeding from a room near that in
which he was sitting, and on investi-
eating found that this state of iveli :
ness-so unlike what he himself was
feeling-was produced by the singing,
dancing and infectious good spirits Of
the good-humored young Irishman.
Monty Cory" Lord Beaconsfield
erept into the room and hung on the
fringe of the circle of laughing guests
and very soon an unwilling smile was
seen to creep around his mouth, the
said smile ending in hearty burst of
laughter, which effectually scattered
the last shadow of the weight of de-
preston which had been smothering
him. Soon after this pleasant intro
duetion he made Monty Cory his
secretary, and they worked well to-
gether for the remainder of Disraeli's
life.

MANY PEOPLE CATCH COLD.
Slight Causes OFTEN Produce Serious Re-
suits to Mems Health.

suits to Mems Health.
The various ways in which a cold
may be brought on are thus described
by Dr. J. H. Kellogg: "a little Anife
blade of air blowing in through a
crack in window upon some part of
the body will chill that part and the
blood vessels of that region will be-
come contracted affecting somewhere
In the Interior of the body an area in
renex relation with this portion of the
surface of the body. For instance, the
blood vessels of the skin of the top of
the shoulders and the chest are asso-
clated with the blood vessels of the
lungs, SO that whatever happens to
the blood vessels Of the skin of the
shoulders and chest happens also to
the blood vessels of the lungs If there
is a contraction of the blood vessels of
the back of the neck there will be a
contraction of the blood vessels of the
nose and throat, and If there is
contraction of the blood vessels of the
top of the shoulders and the shoulder
blades, there will also be a contraction
of the blood vessels of the lungs.
When the influence of the cold is con-
tinued this contraction is followed by
congestion. When one puts his hands
into cold water, for few minutes they
are first pale and then red. This is re-
action. The longer the application and
the more intense the degree of cold the
greater will be the contraction and
the congestion. So if the back of the
neck is exposed for long time to the
influence of cold one is likely to have
cold in the nose and throat; if the
shoulder blades and the tops of the
shoulders are exposed one is likely to
take cold in the lungs and suffer from
congestion of the lungs. If the cold is
long continued it may cause not only
congestion but an Inflammation of
the nose or lungs. So if the bottoms
of the feet become wet or chilled a
weakness of the bladder may result if
there has ever been a trouble there, or
a weakness of the stomach if there has
been eatarrh of that organ"

A Greatfui Mendioant.

A grateful mendicant has died in the
village of Hinstoek, near Newport,
England, and his gratitude assumed an
exceedingly novel form-for beggar.
His name was Meeson, ne was aged and
his generally destitute air and wretch
ed surroundings gave his neighbors
the impression that he had not penny
in the world. Out of pure charity they
accordingly for many years provided
him with food and clothing. Great sur
prise was caused among the good Sa-
maritans when it became known that
by his will he had left $4,000 and GER
tain real property for division among
those who had assisted him. AS one
of them remarked, 1t was a clear case
of casting your bread on the water, and
seeing it come back after many days
buttered ON both sides.

SUICIDE AND CIVILIZATION.
The More Progress the More There Is
of SeIf-DestructIon.

of SeIf-Destruction.
Felix Adler, the New York ethical
clergyman, says of suicides: Suicides
are on the increase in the present cen
fury. They have tripled in number in
the last one hundred years. 1t is the
disease of civilization, increasing in
numbers with the progress of civiliza-
ton. Germany, where civilization has
reached the highest point on earth, is
the blacklist spot in this respect. It
IS the same story as you proceed from
the less to the more liberal creed
Wnere the population Of a community
is made UP purely Of the Russian
church there are 40 suicides to the mil
lion; where the people are purely Of
the Catholic faith there are So to the
million; in Protestant communities
there are 1870 to the million. External
conditions appear to have much to do
with the act. There are more suicides
in wet weather than in dry, more by
night than by day, more on moonlight
nights than on dark nights, and there
are three times more mer to die by
their own acts than women. | can
not sit in judgment on those who have
done this deed; cannot enter into
their inner life. But | warn all who
think Of freeing themselves from this
life that they have no right to do it.
The duty of progress eompels us to
remain-we must stay. We are here to
solve the problems of life, not to eyade
them We are here to fulfill our task,
not to leave it unfinished. We must
make the soul victorious over the
senses, and we do that not by evadlng
pain but by conquering it.

Mineral Production in the United States
The Engineering and Mining Journal
in its annual statistical nun Der says
that the preliminary statement of min
eral production in the United States in
1898 shows that the total production OF
metals IN the United States for that
year was valued at the place of pro-
duction at SAB, 73S,414, as compared
with S314 ,255. 620 in 1898. OF non-me-
tallic substances, the total value of the
output was 1901, S72 .631, as compared
with s4S3, 991, $40 in 1898 Deducting
certain unavoidable Implications, such
as coal used in coke or iron ore in pig
iron, and SO on, the net value of the
mineral production reached a total of
1891. 424,0 S2, showing an increase of
s151, 607,3 1872 over 1898. The gold pro-
duction was valued at S72, 4S3, 055, and
the silver was 61,179,6S9 ounces.

Threa Poisons IN Tobacco Smoke.
C. Binz, in the Deutsche Aerzte-Zei-
tung, says there are three kinds of poi.
son in tobacco smoke: nicotine that
which is obtained by the slow ash for
nation, pryridin, etc, and earbonic OK
ide. Carbonic oxide is always easily
shown to be present in tobacco smoke
It's percentage depending upon the vol
ume of the smoke gas, varies between
06 and 7.6. The variations depend
upon the rapidity of the ash formation
and the quantity of the atmospheric air
drawn in or the lung air blown out. A
never-so-slight acute poisoning from
carbonic acid of tobacco smoke is, un-
der ordinary conditions, scarcely to be
expected. Whether the daily taking
in of the small quantity of carbonic
oxide which, through many years OF
smoking, gets into the blood of smok-
ers. cannot set up a chronic injury. Is
q question still to be settled.

Shoes can be readily polished by

to the upper side of a box, with paral-
Iel rods set on either side of the rest
