CONSUMPTION IN FRANCE.
The Mortality In Pnris Particularly Is
Startling,

The Mortality In Paris Particularly Is
Startling.
According to official statistics just
made public for the last six years, an
average of 100000 persons have year
ly died in France from consumption,
while in Paris alone the total for that
period has been S3,274 deaths. More
over, a report of the prefect of police
of Paris shows that in that city, with
its population of 2,5l1 ,629 inhabitants,
there were 46,9SS deaths in 1900, out
of which number 1894 were caused
by consumption.
Again, according to the report of
the prefect of police, all classes have
suffered from the disease, but it has
been particularly fatal in those sec-
tions of the city occupied by working
families. Out of every 10000 inhabi-
tants the average number of deaths
in the richest residential quarters is
20; in the well-to-do quarters, 35; in
the quarters occupied by the working
classes, SO; while in what may be
called the poor quarters the deaths
from consumption have been as high
the two extremes. the figures show that
in the last year, while consumption
killed only IA Parisians per 10000 in
the Champs Elysees quarter, it caused
the deaths of SO per 10000 In the
Buttes- quarter. thus prov
ing, as the prefect says in his report,
that fresh air and good surroundings
must be employed in fighting the dis
ease in Paris IL the death rate is to
be lowered" Nearly all the Paris pa
pers are giving much and serious at
tention to the matter.

is able to tell just what it is

and is undoubtedly true. for in the ex-
periments that have been made with
it in Boise We have been able to res
produce the atmospheric conditions in
water that prevail where the mineral
is found, and therefore it is not
thought that we will have any trouble
in getting the desired result
so far as we have been able to
learn, this is the first of the mineral
ever found in the world. All assayers
to whom we have shown it say they
never heard of it before, and they are
not able to tell what it is. We will
go ahead and try to put it to some use,
and even at the present time are rea-
sonably sure of success. II 1t does
come out as We expect, the mine will
be more valuable than we ever be-
lieved.
There is large body of the deposit,
and the farther We go in the stronger
becomes the light. Another thing that
we are convinced Of is that, II we can
make it practical, it will be a perpetual
light, for in the throwing off of its rays
there does not appear to be any waste
of the mineral. Since the discovery
there has been large number of visit
ors to the mine, and the outcome is
being watched by all in the vicinity OF
where the deposit was uncovered"

Vegetables as Medicines.

AS most people are aware, vegetables
possess various medicinal qualities.
Here are some worth bearing in mind.
Asparagus is very cooling and easily
digested. Cabbage, cauliflower, Brus-
sells sprouts and broccoli are cooling,
nutritive, laxative and purifying to the
blood, and also act as tonics, but
should not be eaten too freely by deli
cate persons. Celery is good for rheu-
matte and gouty persons. Lettuces
are very wholesome. They are slight
ly narcotic. and lull and calm the
mind. Spinach is particularly good for
rheumatism and govt and also in kid
ney diseases. Onions are good for
chest ailments and colds, but do not
agree with all. Watercresses are ex-
cellent tonics and cooling. Beet-root
is very cooling and highly nutritious.
owing to the amount OF sugar it con-
tains. Parsley is cooling and purify
Ing. Potatoes. parsnips, carrots, tur-
nips and artichokes are highly nutri-
tious but not SO digestible as some
vegetables. Potatoes are most nourish-
ing and fattening for nervous persons.
Tomatoes are health-giving and puri-
flying. either eaten raw or cooked.
Chill, cayenne. horseradish and mus
tard should be used sparingly. They
give zest to the appetite and are val
liable stomachics. Radishes are the
same. but are indigestibie and should
not be eaten by delicate people.

A mineral possessing Illuminating
power has been discovered in Idaho
The people of Boise City are very
much excited over the event Assay
lists have been unable, as yet, to de-
termine what the strange substance
is. The discovery was made by
George F. Ayres, well known mining
man of Boise, several weeks ago, in
one of his claims. about sixty miles
from the city. At the time he did
not think much of the matter and
therefore paid no attention to it. The
further he went into the mine, how
ever, the brighter the light became,
until, afr few feet had been worked,
it was not necessary for him to use a
lamp. 1t was then that he took some
of the mineral to Boise, and had it ex-
amined by an assayer.
Terry L. Williams of Boise, who Is
interested with Mr.. Ayres. was in Ia
coma, Wash, recently, and had piece
of the mineral with him. He will have
an assay of it made and expects that
its true worth will be determined.

exhibiting it. land it is for that pur-
pose l have brought 1t here. There Is
large body of it at the mine where this
was taken out about sixty miles from
Boise City. Mr.. Ayres. owner of the
mine, found it four weeks ago at a
depth of 800 feet from the surface. He
was running a cross cut tunnel to tap
his ledge at this depth, when he struck
this deposit. At first it attracted his
attention by giving forth dull light.

necessary to say of Kelly that once in
his life he figured in celebrated in
ternational law controversy which the
then secretary of state, Thomas r.
BaYard, ended. His mother was
friend of John A. Logan. Malone was
nothing more nor less than a frontier
cattleman. He met Kelly first at Cal
gary where, in dispute over cards, an
enmity arose between them. Subse-
quently they clashed in the Medicine
Hat country, and Malone wrongfully
accused Kelly of stealing stock. kei-
ly would have killed him then and
there but for the interference of the
Canadian mounted police. Subse-
quently one of these policemen sug-
gested to him that he challenge Ma

well of the suggestion, for day or
two later meeting Malone in that iso-
lated and abused town, Medicine Hat,
he quietly told him that he would

sun rose on the Tortured trail and
prove to him with a gun that he was
not a thief. Malone nodded his head
in acceptance of the defiance. and that
was all there was to the challenge.

Kelly slept in a ranch house that
night, but was up before dawn sad
ding his horse. He carried for arms
two siX-shooters and short-hilted
bear knife. He rode away from the
ranch in the heavy darkness before
daybreak, headed for the Tortured
trail. He was six-footer, sandy
haired, heavy -jawed and called Bull

self against an animal Of that title and
whipped him in free fight. His cour-
age was extreme from the brute point
Of view. To illustrate this, years after
this event, when he was on trial for his
life in murder case, he was instructed
by his attorney to kill one Of the wit

Americans are not the only people
who are ingenious in originating and
committing crimes. From Vienna
comes most remarkable story Of the
arrest Of Herr Vogl, proprietor of
large exchange. He is charged with
having poisoned, in April, 1900, rich
Russian named Taubin, who was sup
posed to have verbally bequeathed his
property to Vogl, who has since en-
joyed it. Taubin, who was Jew miser
and drunkard. lived in a sQualid ma l.
ner One night a policeman took him
home drunk and bleeding. A doctor
who was summoned told Taubin's old
charwoman to bring his friends as lie
was dying. She brought vogl. whom
she knew was an acquaintance of TAD
bin. Vogl took a lawyer and clerk
with him to the miser's house. Upon
arriving at the bedside. the dying man,
1t is stated, recovered sufficiently to
say that all his possessions should 20
to Vogl, after which he died almost
Immediately. The bequest thus os-
tensibly made in the presence of wit
nesses was legally regular, and Vogl
inherited property to the value of
100000. Taubin's body was cremated.
His Russian relatives subsequently
represented to the police that Vogl
poisoned him. and they also declared
that Vogl is ventriloquist and him
self spoke the words bequeating the
property to himself when Taubin was
already dead.

Well, Kelly rode down the trail as
gay in spirit as man of Is nature
could be. He did not whistle, for
whistling men are rarely brutal. But
he abused his horse, and that was the
best of evidence that he felt WE'LL. He
watched the darkness hang closer and
closer to the plain grasses, the stars
grow more brilliant until suddenly in

opponent was. They were a mile apart
when they recognized each other. Kelly
reined in his horse and waited, Malone
came on. No surgeons nor seconds
were in attendance. Malone drew
nearer, moving little to the left. as il
to circle about Kelly. The latter sud-
denly dropped under his horses neck
and hred. His bullet just clipped the
name of Mahone's horse. Malone gave
wild whoop and fired back, riding as
Kelly was. Indian fashion, and looking
for an opening. Both horses we're now

and filled his eyes with blood. He
