The responsibility of those persons
who supply the public with food and
drink is not sufficiently realized by the
community at large. Not long since
number of cases OF diphtheria broke
out in a neighborhood. The disease
was of very severe type, and, in sew
eral instances, proved fatal after two
or three days illness. 1t seemed i'm
possible, at first, to trace the conta-
gion to its source, but after a thor
ough canvass of the vicinity il was
discovered that dealer in milk had
in his family couple of cases Of diph-
iberia, He protested ignorance of the
cause OF the children's sickness. and
even when assured OF its nature,
claimed that he had no idea that il
could be conveyed in milk. The fact
that parents do not know how chill
dren could have contracted this dis
ease often acts as check upon any
efforts to combat ii, insisting that as
the little ones have not been exposed
to this malady 1t certainly must be
something else that ails them. When
illness of this sort breaks out in a
family the only proper course is to
have it investigated at once. Delays
are quite sure to be disastrous II not
fatal. and In the present condition Of
medical knowledge on this subject.
there is reasonable hope OF relief IL
attention is given when the first
SYMPTOMS of illness manifest them
selves.

she II was who was under discussion

Master of the Steam.

There Is one thing for which an en-
g!neer is noted. This is the absolute
obedience of orders. He Is brought up
on that from the time he starts to fir
ing till he becomes a graduate and
takes charge OF an engine. Then he
becomes the instructor OF others, and,
OF course, never loses the main point
There Is story told illustrative OF
this. Two men were applicants for
positions on one OF the railroads in
Boston not long ago. They both want
ed to be engineers, and there was but
before whom they appeared asked one
a question, which ran after this fash
ion: Suppose you were on a siding
with orders for a train to pass. A
message would go over the wire that
the oncoming train for which you were
waiting was two hours late. What
would you do?" The first one was
asked the question. and he pulled his
hat down over his face and said: 81
dunno. That Is the conductors Job
not mine" The superintendent said
he might leave his address, and IL they
needed him they would drop him a
line. The second man was standing at
a respectful distance. with his cap in
his hand. and was asked the same
question. Il tell you. sir" he said,
"if the orders looked all right. and
thought the signature was good and
all that. would stand on that siding
forever" Il guess you had better re-
port to the roundhouse for duty" said

The freakish performances of the
Mauser bullets, as reported by sur
geons from South Africa. are almost
unbelievable. Letters received from
Mr.. Frederick Treves. the eminent
London surgeon now at the front.
speak of one bullet which entered the
top OF the head, passed down through
the brain into the mouth and finally
out at the side of the neck. A little
headache and slight squint in one eye
were the only perceptible effects, and
recovery was complete and rapid. In
many cases the abdomen, bowels and
liver have been penetrated almost
without inconvenience. Wounds pierre
ing the lungs often give rise to nothing
more than little blood-stained expec-
grafton. In one phenomenal instance a
bullet entered just below the collar
bone. traversed the whole length of the
chest and body. emerging from the
inner side Of the left thigh, without
effecting more than little temporary
shock.

A YOUNG PROSECUTORS FIND.
Discovered Fortune In the Earth
Which Others Passed Unnotieed.

Relative to fortunate mining ven
lures, says westerner. know of one
peculiar case connected with the town
of Pierce, Arizona. One of the princi-
pal owners of the exceedingly prosper
GUS copper mine at that place is Sena-
tor Penrose of Pennsylvania. For
years there had been alongside the
road near the place an outcropping of
ore that looked something like cop
per, but it excited no particular atten-
ton until a comparatively short time
ago, when one day a-young prospector
who had been tramping all around the
territory passed along the road to
Pierce. His eye rested on the ore at
the roadside. and he filled his satchel
with 1t. Then he took a good view of
himself that there was plenty more
such ore right there. He took the ore
to Bisbee and had it assayed. AS he
expected, 1t proved to be rich with
copper. He went back and dug in an
other place and took more samples to
BiSbee. Inc assay was even more Ia
vorable. All this time the outcropping
was in plain view of other prospectors
passing through the neighborhood.
This young man, whose name have
forgotten, but who was personal
friend of Senator Penrose. put $4,000.
all he had. in the land surrounding the
spot where he had picked up the ore.
and he interested Senator Penrose and
others in the venture. Mining was be-
gun, and proved profitable from the
outset Now the property is valued at
several millions of dollars. Think OF
experienced prospectors passing that
outcropping by the roadside time after
time and never stopping to inquire into
the real value of the ore.

Four of the finest pieces of tapestry
turned out by the celebrated Gobelin
looms in the last century have Just
been purchased in Italy and brought
back to France by DR.. Henri de Roths-
child, who will add them to his cell
lection here. The pieces, besides be-
ing of artistic value, are of historic
interest, as they are gifts presented by
Louis Quinze to the Marquis de Grim
adj. the Spanish prime minister of
the time. They eventually became the
property of the Portuguese family Do
Silva Carvalho, in whose palace at
Genoa they have hung for over a CEN
fury, and. from whose descendants DIR.
Henri de- Rothschild purchased them
the other day. Three of the pieces are
reproductions by Coypel Of scenes OF
Quinalt's play "Armide," on which
Gluck founded his opera, one bearing
the artists signature. The fourth de-
picts a scene from another Of Quinalt's
plays. Copies Of three Of these pieces
Of tapestry are preserved at the Louvre
and at the National furniture store
rooms. one OF them being unique. The
four were sold to DR.. de Rothschild
for s23,0o0.-London Telegraph.

TERRIBLE TORTURES
inflicted by Indians During q seven-ds,
Medicine Dance,


Tacoma (Wash.) Cor. Chicago Inter
Ocean: The Yakima Indians have
closed a seven-day medicine dance
near Toppenish. A peculiar feature OF
this dance, and one that the neighbor-
ing white people supposed existed only
in the minds of the dime-novel writ
ers, is self-inficted torture of the par
Elephants. 1t has deep religious sig
nificance for them. OF course, not all
of the Yakima Indians take part in
these barbarous practices. Many of
them are well educated men and wom-
en- and live much as their white neigh
bors do. The Indians who tortured
themselves this week included several
young bucks who have been away to
school. Returning home they relapsed
into savagery and discarded white
mems dress for blankets and feathers.
All of the dancers inflicted numerous
wounds upon themselves with knives,
stones and sharpened sticks. Cutting
holes in their flesh. they inserted
thongs of leather through them and
pulled at these thongs until the flesh
gave way. Some of them stopped only
when physically exhausted. A buck
about 80 years old held out the longest
ana was declared the tribes head med
icine man for the next three years.

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
viii Come Out in the Washing

Mr.. Bryan shortly after he was de-
feated for the presidency in 1896, issued
portentious address to the people, and
after scoring those citizens, especially
the foreign born. for not voting for him,
orifather attributing his defeatto "tha
ignorant foreign born vote"-we believe
those were the words he used-he made
this wonderful prophecy:
Before the year 1900 arrives the evil
effects Of gold standard will be even
more evident than they are now, and
the people, then ready TO demand an
American financial policy for the Amer
lean people, will Join with US in the i'm
mediate restoration OF the free and un-
limited coinage OF gold and silver at the
Present legal ratio OF l6 to !"
You see. Sir. Bryan had not yet lost
his prophetic SOUL He was then
waiting for the dire disasters and desc.
lation he had predicted would sweep
over the land. All that he prophesIed IN
those days have not come to pass. On
the contrary all is prosperity and con-
tentmcnt. Mr.. Bryan must stand up
and make good his prophesles or be for
eyer dlscredIted. and there Is one good
Bryan paper that thinks he will yet DO
30. II Is the Memphis Commercial APP
peal, which says:"Certainly the nnar-
cial issue Is even more important than

that have elapsed the gold standard

tainly he will insist 10 the utmost OF hls
