are decidedly inferior. Moreover, we
ourselves aim to supplement- the rather
general information that has gone be-
fore with specific mention Of sucn
beers as we know to be absolutely
pure. One OF the latest examples OF
distinct superiority in this line that
Nave come before our notice is the
product OF the John Bremen Brewing
Company, of Covington, Kentucky,
"a scrutinizing chemical examina-
tion Of this article showed it to ht ex-
actly the physicians definition OF a
pure, high-grade beer, for, in addition
to being quite free from foreign ma
terlal, such as drugs, the beverage in
question proved Its composition to con-
sist of malt and hops. The beer above
mentioned, therefore, presents COM
bination OF the very circumstances
which are demanded by the medical
scientist as a condition precedent to
reimbursement. Such being the case,
we do not hesitate to bestow our heart
lest praise on the product of the Jonn
Brenner Brewing Company.
"This is one Of the few beers on the
market that the hygienist may recon-
mend, IN unqualified terms, as being
possessed of most salutary virtues.
We have thus far taken 1t for granted
that pure matted beverages we're
wholesome, because this is a fact on
which physicians of to-day are at one.
But it will be very easy matter to
show why the best quality Of beer
should have salubrious influence. A
pure matted beverage is good for the
health, because it unites the tonic and
nutritive virtues of malt and hops.
Every beer which can prove to the
ANALYST that its components are these
elements and that it contains no i'm
purities, will receive the same recog-
milton that we have accorded the beer
manufactured by the John Bremen
Brewing Company.
1--WE wish to have 1t distinctly I'M
derstood that the present editorial IN
dorsement of the above beer does not
in any way whatsoever partake Of the
nature Of a puff or 'write-up' that is
for sale. Public recognition at our
hands is open to all alike, and will
always be conferred openly and in a
glad and willing spirit on every arti-
fNcle which proves itself to be possessed
OF qualities that are valuable In the
advancement of physical well.being;
no consideration other than eminent
hygienic worth ever has called forth
or ever shall evoke an editorial in
dorsement such as we have freely be-
slowed ON the wholesome beverage Of
ferred by the John Bremen Brewing
Company"

The Wife Felt the Shock Expert
cnccd by Her Husband.
Il have heard several times of tele-
pathic communication" said gentleman
well known in the hotels of Washington
to Star reporter, but l never had it
brought home so closely TO ME as it was
the other day. l was visiting at the house
of Il friend who is practical electrician
and who has charge of dynamo in one
of the department buildings. He happen
ed to be absent at the time, although it
was past his usual time for getting home,
and his wife and l were sitting in the
parlor commenting upon his hardness,
for he was usually the most punctual Of
men.
Just as l looked at the clock for per-
haps the sixth or seventh time and had
noted that it lacked Is minutes of being
g o'clock my hostess gave slight gasp
and sat rigid in her chair. Every muscle
seemed to be tense, and she gave the APP
pearancc of one laboring under the
strongest shock. For the space of per-
haps second she remained in this con-
aition aud then suddenly grew limp and
helpless as il some strain under which
she had been lal,oring had been removed.

more than two or three seconds at the

% Isn't it funny she said on coming
IL. L feel exactly as though L had re-
ceived a terrible electric shock. l knew
the sensation because my husband has q
small battery in the house and often
gives me electricity for nervousness.
AT that moment the telephone bell
rang. and l answered it. The message
was that my friend had taken hold of the
wrong lever at the switchboard that dis
tribnted the current from his dynamo and
that the surgeons ut 4 nearby hospital
hoped to save his life. l asked when it oc-
CURED, and the reply came, About a
quarter to D.
Il can't explain it, and l don't intend
to try. l have trouble enough of my own
of a very material nature without going

A eoTToMLESS PIT.
One of the Curiosities of the Majestic
Palisades.

FaAlhuucss
Hundreds Of thousands Of New Workers
gaze at the Palisades, on the New Jersey
side of the Hudson, every day, but not
one in 10000 knows there is over there a
bottomless pit, as great a curiosity in its
way as is the caldron in the Devils lake
region of California. 1t is situated in
West New York, about three miles north
of Hoboken, on the summit of the Pali-
sades. AT this point the top of the ridge
is 227 feet above the level of the Hudson
river at its base.
This pit apparently ends in water
which rises and falls with the tides in the
Hudson, but the attempts Of the authori-
ties as well as of private individuals to
fill it up have proved futile. 1t is still
there, and the trees, rock and earth that
have been dumped into it have disappear
ed rs if into the bowels of the earth.
Soundings have been made, but no stable
bottom has been found.
The West New York authorities sever
al years ago thought they had succeeded
in finding a bottom. They had thrown
into the water a large quantity of tree
tops and upon these had heaped q pile Of
stone. This sank to n certain depth and
then appeared to be stationary. On top
VI lhiS were ueposltcu huHuEeuS VI C'iEl-
loads of earth, with logs crosswise, thus
making a roadway over which trucks and
vehicles passed.
The next morning, however, there
wasn't trace of the filling. The water
Mt the bottom Of the pit was us clear as
before. The surface of the lake covers
about half an acre, but there has never
been fish hauled from its depths.
1t stood in the way of the West Shore
railroad when it was about to be built in
1880. The road intended to run its tun-
mel from the Weehawken terminal to the
opposite side of the Palisades at New
Durham, directly over this pit. but after
the right of way had. been bought the
company had to abandon the route and go
about 1000 feet to the south.-New Yorl,

sagacity shown by Deer.

A stag had been turned out before q
pack of hounds, and, when somewhat
pressed by them, l observed it twice.

IDENTIFY with the intention Of battling the
pursuit Of the dogs. 1t would thus seem
that the animal was aware of its being
followed by the scent and not by sight
Mr.. G. S. Erb, writing from Salt Lake
City, tells of the sagacity of deer in that
district in avoiding gun traps. The deer
are very partial to the tops of maple
trees. and, when food was scarce ON &C.
count Of snow, it was his custom to cut
down a maple tree and to place IL gun,
connected with the tree, in such way
that the deer could not pass between
the trees and the gun without pressing
the line so as to discharge the gun and
consequently to get shot. This expert
ment, he says, he tried at least 60 times,
but never succeeded in killing the deer
until he substituted black linen thread
for the fishline which lie had first used,
and then he had no difficulty in killing
them, as the thread was so small and
black that they could not distinguish 1t.

THE PELICAN.
A Bird Tint OTends Both the Eye
and the Nose.

n Bird Tint OHends Both the Eye
and the Nose.
Pelican bend. in the Missouri river,
near st. Charles, Mo-, Is the scene of a
great annual gathering of pelicans. There
is big fiat bar in the river there which
has endured far beyond the usual span
of bars existence in the treacherous,
shifting current of the Missouri. This
bar is the semannual stopping place of
vast focks of pelicans that migrate from
south to north in the spring and from
north to south in the fall.
Persons who have observed their habits
claim that they invariably arrive ut Peli-
can bend on Sept. and remain until cold
weather sends them south.
The pelican Is not an attractive bird.
He offends both the eye and the nose But
he Is commercially regular in his ha bits.
The parent birds catch fish and after
eating their fill deposit the others in their
pouches under their bills and carry them
to their young. These pouches will hold
from three to eight pounds of fish. They
are elastic and when distended to their
utmost nearly touch the ground. When
empty, the pouch lies close up under the
big bill and is merely a mass Of wrinkles.
1t Is this pouch that gives the pelican his
characteristic and disagreeable odor,
caused by particles of decaying fish.
The pelican's legs are short and strong,
and its feet have large webs. 1t is not
a fast swimmer nor a rapid fiier, but it
is practically tirelcss in both air and wa.
ter. On land it is awkward and un-
wieldy. Its feathers are pure white ex-
cept for a fluffy tuft of brown plumage
that is seen in the top of the head for
about six weeks in the early summer
This tuft disappears in August and leaves
n pimply bald pate that is red, then pink,
then n straw color. BY Nov. the skin
on the head hardens into horny crest,
which grows as the winter progress, un
til by the time the bird arrives Mt its
breeding place in the northwest 1t Is SO
prominent that it is called the center
board" because Of its resemblance to the
centerboard Of sailboat. When proper
ly cured, the pelican skins and plumage
are largely used ip women's garments and
hats.-St. Louis Renuhlic.~

PARIS OF THE FAUBOURGS.



An article in The Century, Paris of
the Faubourss," by Richard Whtcing,
throws bright light on the difference
between the lives CT the laborinS cla
in the French capital and in London
The Partisan lives in the streets and
pridcs himself on their beauty and cleGn-
illness. The Londoner has less to boast
of in this respect and takes less interest
in the external aspect of his city.
The people of the faubourgx, the hum
bic folk gcncrally-small traders and
small annuitants, as well as workmcn-
like all the rest OF us, are the product Of
their surroundings. They are shaped by
the private life and by the public life, by
the street and the home. These people
in Paris owe great deal to the public
life. 1t condesccnds to their needs for
color, variety, movement, il a way uni
vcrsal among the Latin nations. Out Of
doors is merely their larger home, and
they expect to find adequate provision
there for every kind of enjoyment. Our
own race tends to regard that domain as
a mere thorOughfare between the work
shop and the fireSide, where all our inter
ests are conferred. If it serves that pur-
pose, that is about all We ask of it. 1t
may be as ugly as it likes and within GER
tain limits of Indulgence almost us dirty.
To the FIcp Gilman it is more than Il place
Of transit. 1t is almost place of So
journ.
So the Partisan common man has bis
share of the Champs Elysces and of the
boulevards in his freedom of access to
their fountains and promenades and their
bordering alleys of tender green. He
comes down stairs to them, so to speak,
as soon as the scavengers have done their
timely work. He descends to his thor
oughfare as the millionaire expects to de-
scend TO bis breakfast room or his study,
with all its appointments fresh from the
broom and shining in their brightness of
metal and glass. SO whatever the gloom
of the domestic prospect his street helps
him to feel good. The beauty Of the stat
uary, of the public buildings. is n means
to the same end. For nothing the poor.
est Of poor devils may see the glorious
bronZes in the terrace garden of the TUT.
leries. the outdoor figures of the LuXem-
bourg, the great horses of the Place de la
Concorde, the magnificent compositions
of the arch. The very lamppost that will
light his way at nightfal serves the pur-
pose of a thing of beauty all through the
day. Compare II with the English bar Of
cast iron, hideous to the eye in form and
color, foul with the mud stains OF years

opinion and whose services he greatly
valued. One fine morning this favorite
abruptly announced that he was going to

with Indignation for moment, and then,
Glaring at the culprit, he growled out,
What on earth am going to do for an
other secretary"
Without waiting for reply he strobe
from the room, slamming the door behind
him with great violence. His good ma
ture, however, prompted him to extend
the forgiving hand later on, and he gave
to the bride some fine diamonds In nd.
dition, he lent them his own carriage and
horses for use to and from the church.
1t never entered his head to give his
erstwhile fayorite secretary any more
employment. Such crime as matrimony,
though forgiven. could not be condoned.
