But the Inventor Refuses Il Give Out Details
Of His Invention.
Rabbi Sigmund Frey, of Wabash,
Ind, who has proposed to the Post
master General to transmit postal
matter TO Europe in two days, was in.
vited to explain his invention recently,
but beyond few hints declined to go
into details until he received advice
from Washington.

but supposed that my attorney alone
knew of it. 1t would interfere with
my plans were I to state just how
propose to achieve the results. but my
scheme is feasible.
"I have been in conference with a
celebrated electrician, working out
my ideas. and have progressed to a
point where may put it to a practi.
cal test. Electricity will coutrol a
Car, which, with safety, may travel
over sea and land at speed OF from
200 to 300 miles an hour.
eff the government sees fit to make
a conditional contract with me / ex.
pect to demonstrate the success of my
invention at an early date.
II am irritated that the matter has
gotten into the newspapers, but hope
to take the work up in earnest with
the Postofflee Department. Until the
contract is made I must refuse to
particularize."

The Doctors Little Daughter.

Here is story Of little girl, the
daughter of local physician. She is
a bright child Of six, and has beer
much petted by her admiring friends.
Perhaps this has spoiled her a little,
but she is 80 sweet and entertaining
that visitors can't keep their hands off
OF her.
One of these visitors, a new neigh
Dor, made call on the little maids
mother, and it wasn't but few mo-
ments before the little maid was on
her lap.
In the chatter which followed the
woman made some allusion to the
little ones grandmother.
"Why. didn't you knowf" cried the
child.
"Know what, dearf" said the visitor.
"Why," answered the child. grand
ma is dead, and grandpa is dead, and
Aunt Jane is dead, and most all of
papa's patients are dead, too"

breeds for which there is ever a ready
sale as curiosities. The two men de.
voted several years to experimenting
in snake culture in the Pine Ridge
agency. They claim that the garter
snake and the common house snake
are the best oil producers, and these
will constitute the main stock of the
proposed farm. These snakes have
short, fat bodies; mature for oil pro-
ducing purposes in three months, and
are very hardy and we'll adapted TO
this climate.
Both Standing Bear and Chief Poi
son Whip believe snake-raising will
soon become recognized industry in
this section of the country. They say
it is more profitable than hog and cat
tle-raising and pays better than tilling
the soil. The snakes, they say, need
but little attention and their oil is
ever in demand at big prices. The
demand for snake oil, it is claimed, is
much greater than the supply.
1t is the intention of Standing Bear
and Chief Poison Whip to get the
farm started and stocked before the
summer is over. Next summer they
expect to kill several thousand snakes,
and the year after that more than 1OO,-
600 will be killed for the purpose of
extracting the oil.

NEWEST FOOD WHIM.
Vital Stuff is the Sort to Take Into the
System.

Vital Stuff Is the Sort to Take Into the
system.
We are told that in order properly
to support life it is essential to feed on
vital food. Byvital food, apparently,
is meant food that in some sort lives.
Nothing must be cooked, for I" fire
destroys life;" but anything may be
sun-dried, for "the sun imparts life"
All meat is vigorously excluded from
this new dietary, on the ground that
fresh implies the loss OF life to the ami.
NAL, and therefore, by metaphorical
implication, to the man who con.
sumes it. But on this theory it would
surely be permissible. to eat. for in
stance, fresh oysters. AS they have a
larger share of vital force than, shall
we say, a cabbage stalk, they ought to
impart q greater degree of vital force
to their consumers. The chief merit
OF this strange system lies in the
necessity it lays upon its supporters
to consume large quantities of fruit.
1t is probable that the ordinary mans
diet would, from the point of view OF
health, be greatly improved if he ate
something like 20 times as much fruit
as he does.

young woman in one OF the back seats
of an East Tenth street car. who was
carrying diminutive poodle dog un-
der her arm.
"No, madam" said the conductor.
" I will tell you when we come to it,"
Later on she repeated the question,
and the conductor answered with some
show of impatience. Finally, when
Hazel street was reached. he rang, and
the car came to q stop. "This is
Hazel street," said the conductor.
80, l don't want to get off at that
street; I only wanted to know where
it was; l 60 to the end of the line"
Then. as the car started again. she
looked down at the pup and said, in
tones OF extreme affection: "There,

When he took his car in the con.
ductor would have resigned if it had
not been for the entreaties OF the

AN IOYL OF THE KING,
In Which Missionary to the South Seas Re
luctantIy Figured.

Iuctantly Figured.
The Missionary stood trembling in
the presence OF the King of the Can
nibal Islands with one eye on grid
iron sizzling over neighboring fire.
He was young, and fair to look upon,
pink-cheeked and plump, with the
fragrance of the Theological Seminary
still upon him.
The gridiron sizzled on.
The King was clothed in fresh
coat of real olive oil and shone in the
tropic sun like statue of Liberty en-
Tightening the world. The shirtwaist
man compared with this Potentate of
the Pacific would look like carload
of dress goods. The King addressed
the Missionary in thunder tones.
Well, Sirrah," said he, "what have
you to say to the proceeding of this
court?"
Nothing, yonr Serene Satrapness,"
replied the Missionary, except to Of
fer a demurrer"
Estate it," said the King. "No
man shall say that King Boobumboola
ever sought to curtail the liberty OF
speech"
"My gratitude is yours, most Daz-
zling Demigod," said the Missionary,
"and my demurrer is to the effect
that L do not desire to be eaten by
your Majesty, albeit l do not prefer
another before you"
"The demurrer is not sustained"
said the King. Must the Monarch
60 hungry to satisfy the whim Of a
silly boy?"
The gridiron sizzled on.
"Choose one OF your subjects. Oh,
Most Puissant Potentate."
Pooh, pooh. l need change OF
diet. I'll wager my kingdom you are
toothsome Wand"
"Nay, nay, your glittering Nibs.
Pardon me, but I cannot agree with
YOU"
The King laughed low and rip.
pling silver laugh.
You can't agree with me, eh?" he
roared. "But I'll make you agree
with me. l have some of Doctor Jill
lywiggle's Dyspepsia Tablets in my
sideboard that always make my food
agree with me, and I fancy you are
no exception. Pm sorry, my dear
boy, I can't prove to you how mis-
taken you are, but under the circum.
stances even my kingly power is not
equal to that. Ia, Ia. Ho there,
Gentlemen OF the Meat Axe, attend to

wiaEa FoRErELL WEATHER.
Telegraph Strands Are Accurate Meteorological
Prophets.

ieue9raph Seran0S Are accurate mese0rOl0SicAl
Prophets.
There are no more reliable weather
prophets anywhere than the tele-
graph wires. This novel discovery
was made by German physician in
the following manner: As he was
waiting for train at country station
he heard = shrill sound, which was
made by the wind as it passed through
a network Of nearby wires. At once
the doctor remembered that he had
frequently heard . similar sound either
Immediately before or after a storm
or heavy fall Of rain or snow, and it
naturally occurred to him to try and
ascertain whether there was any con-
nection between the sound and such
changes in the weather.
As q heavy shower OF rain fell with
in 48 hours after he had heard the
sound at the railroad station he con.
cluded that there was such conpec-
tion, and he then determined to in.
vestigate the matter thoroughly. AS
result he now maintains. first, that
any unusual disturbance in the tele.
graph wires is an infallible indicator
Of bad weather, and, second, that the
nature OF the changes in the atmos-
phere may be learned from the sound
which the wind makes when passing
through the wires.
Thus deep sound, he says, which
is Of considerable or medium strength
indicates that there will be slight
showers OF rain with moderate wind.
within from 80 to 4S hours, and, or
the other hand, sharp, shrill sound
is the sure token of heavy storm
which will be accompanied by mucl
rain or snow.

THE ENEMY IN DISGUISE.


YAKIMA Democrat.
The Mckinley Democrats who talk
so glibly and so much about the re-
organization of the Democratic party
are reckoning without their host.
The reform element is in control Of
the party machinery in nearly every
State and if the eminent gentlemen of
New York, Ohio and elsewhere who
have lately been in revolt think that
they will be able to regain control
without first winning it in titanic
struggle, they are simply hugging a
delusion. The great mass of COM
moners that make up the bulk of the
Democratic party, believe sincerely in
the principles enunciated in the Kan
sas City platform and they are not 60
ing to consent to any pruning process
that would destroy the usefulness OF
the party in the future. And what is
there to be gained by such costly sac
rifice of principle? Nothing; for any
unprejudiced man we'll versed in poll
tics knows that such policy could
have no other effect than to ALLEVIATE
from the party perhaps treble the
number of voters that it would attract.
The object sought by the "re-organ.
izers" is to regain control of the party
and make it pure negative quantity
in its relation to government. 1t is
already cleai that the movement re-
ceived its inspiration from q number
Of great tinanciers Of New York, whose
ambition it is TO again have both the
great parties Of the nation subservient
to their will. The idea is very
pretty one from their standpoint, but
it cannot be made to work unless the
people can first be lulled to sleep and
their leaders betfay them. This they
cannot do il the masses shall receive q
warning in time.

FOOD VALUE IN VEGETABLES.

Watercress, which is now at its best,
is "good, all-around" bracer up for
the system.
Celery is an acknowledged nerve
tonic, and is more and more used in
medical prescriptions.
Onions are also a tonic for the
nerves, but people will be forever pre-.
judiced because OF their odor.
Spinach has medical properties and
qualities equal to the most indigo Of
all blue pills ever made.
Beets are fattening, and even mod
erately lean man will expand because
OF the sugar they contain.
Parsnips, it is now contended by
scientists, possess almost the same vir.
tues that are claimed for sarsaparilla.
Asparagus is eflicacious in kidney
ailments to an extent that is not yet,
perhaps, thoroughly appreciated.
Potatoes should be eschewed by
those who shave horror of getting
fat" as that is one penalty of eating
them.
Ordinary Lima beans, some one has
said, are good to allsy thirst, but the
same can be said, with equal truth, of
a pitcher OF water.
Cabbage, in Holland, is regarded as
something OF blood purifier, but the
authority is vague. In Germany its
efficacy is purely sauerkraut.
Parsley will assist good digestion,
like cheese and nuts, but quantity
in excess of ordinary capacity has to
be consumed. Therein lies the joker.
Cucumbers, aside from sunbeam
emitting properties known to readers
OF facetious paragraphs, contain an
acid that is helpful in some cases of
dyspepsia.
Pumpkins are an ingredient in y

they hear.
