a Paving Business.

It is astonishing the number
of people there are in the world
who apparently bite at every
fraud that come along. A re-
cent Boston dispatch says that
Francis Truth, head of the Di-
vine Healing Association bear
ing his name, and whose adver-
tisements have been spread over
the whole country, was arrested
in that city charged with using
the mails for fraudulent pur-
poses. The dispatch goes on to
say that after Truth had been
taken away a thorough search
of his premises was instituted.
The place was elaborately fitted
up. On the first floor in one room
there were at work about a dozen
girls, typewriters and copyists,
whose wages are said to have
ranged from $500 to $500 per
week. In the next room there
was a printing press, which
turned out circulars and the
magazine known as "The Di-
vine Healer" Across the hall,
which was richly furnished, are
the parlors used by Truth and
his wife. They are all elaborate
ly furnished. On this floor there
is the crutch room, where are
displayed the crutcheswhich the
"Divine Healer" claimed were
cast aside by those who had been
cured by his treatment. There
was nearly a wagon load of let
ters, which had evidently been
accumulating for some time.
These were either orders for a
course of treatment, absent or
otherwise, as the case might
be, or else inquiries as to the
wonderful promises that had
been so literally advertised. In
all there were twenty-three girls
employed to look after the ex-
tensive correspondence. The
warrant for Truths arrest was
issued at the solicitation Of the
district attorneys Office. 1t
charges that by means of his
representations he secured many
paying members Of the associa-
ton, to whom he gave what he
called his "absent treatment" )"
The blanks for these ''absent
treatments" called for a first
payment of SIS 90 for one months
treatment. Truth has been con-
Quoting the establishment for
about six months and has had
all the business he could attend
to. The dispatch says the bust
ness brought in thirty thousand
dollars week regularly. Truth
certainly had a paying business,
but the whole story goes to prove
the correctness of what we said
in the beginning that there are
numbers of persons all over the
country who are just itching to
be swindled and who bite at all
frauds, big or little.

Eelcian Queens Home.

The Queen of the Belgians was
brought up in her fathers castle at
Pesth amid surroundings and customs
which remind one of the feudal ages.
At night her father himself descend
ed the great staircase to lock the outer
gate and the door Of the principal hall.
Thi hall was divided into two parts,
one end being raised little above the
other. At the elevated end the
daughters Of the house sat at their
needlework or painting or music,
while their attendants sat at the lower
end Of the hall.

thought he had been in every town in
