The Fountain of Youth.

Sanford Bennett of Alameda has dis
covered, so he declares, the fountain
Of youth. He stated a few days ago
in addressing the Unitarian club that
to attain length of days and undimin-
ished spryness one has only to drink
distilled water and rub olive oil on the
joints, besides taking proper exercise.
Bennett has passed his fiftieth mile
stone, and he has, he says. preserved
the vigor of youth by putting his the
DRY into practice. A friend Of his in
San Francisco who is 104 years old at
tributes his hale longevity entirely to
applications of olive oil and the exclu-
sive use Of distilled water as a bever-
age.
Ordinary water contains mineral
substances and sediment which find
their way to the joints" said Bennett.
"Thus we find men and women trOu-
bled with rheumatism. Their joints
prematurely ossify. and old age comes
on. The method which l have put in
to practice has proved its efficacy in
warding off old age. There is no rea-
son why any one should not live to be
n century old and enjoy his declining
years If he will simply use pure olive
oil and drink only distilled water"-

Betrayed by n Pigeon,

The Duke Of Marlborough, at the
Woodstock agricultural and historical
show. told an amusing anecdote of the
Boer war. Referring to the use Of
homing pigeons. he mentioned that at
the siege Of Mafeking General Baden
Powell expressed a wish that no la
dies should remain in the town. Lady
Sarah Wilson went out distance Of
some 10 miles, and being anxious to
communicate with General Baden-POw-
ell, she attempted to do so by means
of a carrier pigeon. Lady Sarah wrote
a letter and dispatched it with the
pigeon, in the hope that it would fly
straight into Mafeking, but instead Of
that 1t settled on the house of the Boer
commandant who was investing the
town. The result was that the BOer
commandant ascertained where she
was, and she had to explain the reason
why she was near Mafeking.-St.

DELIGHTED THE SULTAN.
An Electrical Blaze In the Royal
Palace at Constantinop1e.


Palace at Constantinop1e.
American electricity has just given
Turkey q shock that promises to awak-
en- 1t from the sleep that has settled
for so many generations over the east.
The authorities in Turkey oppose all
inventions. They believe them the
works of the evil spirit Manufacture
ing, war and commerce would be car
ried on in the same way that 1t was
1000 years ago If the conservatives
had their way In the sultan's land.
Particularly has Turkey objected to
electrical innovations. The scholars OF
the Koran cannot understand them and
so hold them as unlawful An Ameri-
can firm did not know this and, finding
that Turkey was behind the times In
matters of electric lights and tele-
phones, sent a smart young Yankee to
ConstantinOple with shipload OF tele-
phone, lighting and other apparatus.
Not only was the young pioneer, up
on his arrival. forbidden to take his
materials out of the ship, but they
were taken out for him and seized. He
appealed 10 the American consul gen
eral, who took the case to the grand
vlzler. After a discussion of witch
craft the vizier gave his consent to the
setting up of the American apparatus
In the sultan's palace. 1t was for the
purpose of giving the grand vizier a
chance to prove that the electric ma
chimes were the work Of the devil.
When the rooms Of the palace had
been filed with colored glass bulbs,
telephone bells, clicking telegraph in
struments and other electrical appli-
ances, the grand vlzier was called In.
The effect was truly electrical. He
fed In dismay as soon as the dynamo
was started. He ordered the Ameri-
can seized. and the apparatus was TAX
en- out.
The American appealed to the sui
tan, who inspected the lights and tele-
phones himself He was wild with de-
light and Immediately ordered the
whole palace fitted with wires for light
and telephones. He installed the engi-
neer as electrical expert Of the palace
and issued an trade taking the prohi-
bition from electrical apparatus.
The story is told in the latest report
of the American consul at CONSTANT
nople, just received here.-Washington

II Happened in a Drug Store.

Zone day last winter lady came
to my drug store and asked for a
brand of cough medicine that | did
not have in stock" says Mr.. G. r:
Grandin, the popular druggist Of
Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappoint-
ed and wanted to know what cough
preparation / could recommend. L
said to her that 1 could freely recom>
mend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and that she could take a bottle OF
the remedy and after giving it fair
trial if she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle and l
would refund the price paid. In the
course of day or two the lady came
back in company with a friend In
need of a cough medicine and advised
her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1 consider that a
very good recommendation for the
remedy" 1t is for sale by VIM. 2. Bell

A Costly Fit of Temper.

An irreparable act Of vandalism has
DESTROYED one of the most interesting
objects Of art that have come down
from antiquity. The famous "Fran-
co.'s" vase at Florence has been smash
ed to bits by an Infatuated custodian.
The man had been reprOved by the d.
rector Of the museum for neglecting his
duties. He drew a knife and stabbed
the director three times, then turned to
the collection and destroyed what he
could before he was overpowered.
The vase was the finest piece of black
on red Greek pottery in existence and
a perfect repertory Of archaeological
information. On it were pictured the
Caledonian hunt, the burial of Patro-
clus, the wedding of Peleus and Thetis'
Dionysus and Heph9stus in Olympus
and other legends. 1t was made In the
sixth century before Christ and was
discovered at Poggio Garella near Chlu-
81 In 1874 by the arch@OlOgist Francois.
The value set on 1t by the museum au-
thorities was 100000.

The reported destruction Of the IA

year on the excursion steamer Queen.
pearce says:
"The Muir glacier Is just as grand as
ever. The trouble this season has been
that vessels have not been able to get
close enough for passengers to see It..
The earthquake shook off large masses
of Ice from the face Of the glacier,
which, when floating In the bay, ap-
pear as huge icebergs and block the
passage Of vessels. By next season
the bay will be clear again, and the
glacier can be approached as In former
years.
"The damage by the earthquake Is
but as a drop In the bucket. | can bet
ter explain Its work by saying that 1t
took off the face of the glacier for 90
feet or so, while the main body extends
back, visible to the eye, 20 miles. The
glacier runs back from It's face on Gla-
cier bay to the head Of the Davidson
glacier, which faces on Lynn canal, a
distance Of 45 miles. All this season
Muir inlet has been full Of small bergs,
so that vessels. after proceeding as far
as they could. were forced TO back out.
On the August trip Of the Queen the
surface of the glacier looked TO be from
25 to 80 feet high, but It is In reality
from 100 to 200 feet high. Next year
people will be able to get close to II
and will find 1t Just as large and just
as grand as II ever was"
