"KING OF INVALIDS.n
Ihe sad Flight Which Gave That
Title to Young Man of
Philadelphia.

In small dwelling al 1918 Cabot
street, little thoroughfare running
west OF Twelfth street, Just above
GIrard avenue, lies young man known
throughout the length and breadth of
this broad land as the "Kinp of In
valids." His throne is bed from which
he has not moved for ten years. saws the
Philadelphia Times.
AS his only companions, his faithful
nurse, Miss Carrie Dentry, and his pet
dog, Charles H. Conrad waits for death
with the knowledge that nothing else
can ever release him from his suffer-
ings. Science can offer him no hope,
for hundreds Of the most eminent ply
sicians have visited his bedside and
turned away with shake of the head.
Rheumatoid arthritis is the name of
the strange malady with which he is
afflicted, and it's effect is the forma-
ton of bone around the joints, render
ing them extremely sensitive and per-
fectly motionless. Elbows, wrists,
knees and ankles are all dislocated and
nbnormally enlarged, while the rest of
the trunk is emaciated, and trunk and
limbs alike contorted and twisted
1t is not Justification pure and simple,
as in this case Conrad's sufferings
would be much less. As it is his whole
body is so sensitive that the least touch
causes excruciating agony. His arms
are bent inward, the left hand slowly
growing toward the stomach. between
which and it a heavy pad of cloth is
placed in IN effort to change its course.
Conrad was strong and athleticallv-
built young man when 81 years old, now
ten years ago. Exposure brought on
rheumatism. and this developed into
the present nla1adv
Through his nurse he is kept in COM
munication with every chronic invalid
in the country. and by them he has
been given the title of the king Of In
valids''

SPENT CORDS OF MONEY.
A Deceased Indian MaSnate Who Had
Mania for the Vices of
Europeans.

The people of Patiala, in India, will.
not seriously mourn the recent death
of their maharajah, the leading Sikh
chief Of the Punjab. He was the ruler
of the most warlike of all the races of
India, but singularly died in the service
of the British empire. Sir Raiendra
Singh had previously served through
the Mohmand campaign of 1897 on the
staff of Sir Bindon Blood Personally
he was the product of somewhat mis-
taken system, and represented in it's
fullest development that anomaly a
Europeanized Indian prince He
habitually wore English clothes and a
native turban, married an English wife
and regally entertained vast crowds Of
Englishmen, who, according to the
agreeable manner of Englishmen in
India, would receive neither him nor
his wife into their houses in return.
He was sportsman of the first order;
he had one of the finest polo teams in
India, played for it himself and was
almost worthy of his place. But with
the English taste for sport he had i'm
bibed the vice of sportsmen and spent
more than the revenues of his state
could afford on racing and dissipa tion
Though only young man of 20, he had
tried his constitution severely, and 1t
is little wonder that he succumbed to
the fever that attacked him. His sub
jects will be all the better for the nurs-
ing of TIE state revenues, which the
Punjab government will now be able
to take in hand.

Ch1cken-Picking Cyclones.

You no doubt have heard of cy-
clones blowing feathers off chickens,
or possibly you have witnessed the
operation, but whether you have or
not, 1T is fact that cyclones are
sometimes chicken pickers, as we'll as
the pickers of other things, says the
New York Herald. Well, an ingen-
1ous German, whit devastating cy-
clone for model, has invented ma
chime that creates cyclones to order,
while you wait, for chicken picking
purposes. His cyclones are inconsid-
cradle in size, but very intense in
their field Of action, which is large
enough to embrace a Shanghai roos-
ter. You take the rooster or other
fowl to him, he touches button, and
before you can wink twice every
feather is off the bird Several cross
currents of air from electric fans,
turning at the rate of 5000 revolu-
tions minute, do the work.

EAGLES ABOUT NEW YORK.
The Birds Are Protected by the Game
Laws of the Empire
State

An unusual number of eagles have
been seen lately in northern New Jer-
sey, and many have ventured even
within sight of New York. A remark
ably fine specimen was captured alive
near Nineland recently, several were
seen at Orange and two at least are
known to have been shot on the pail
sades near Fort Lee. Eagles are pro-
tected by the game laws of New
York, but not in New Jersey, says the
World.
1t is commonly supposed that eagles
are practically extinct except those
preserved in geological gardens or on
the American dollar. But a great many
exist in their wild state comparatively
near New York. In the milder re-
g1ons OF this section they are still
familiar sight. The game law of New
York has fixed as a penalty a fine of
$50 for killing an eagle or disturbing
It's nest. A few eagles nests have been
found on the upper palisades.
During the winter months, when
food IS scarce, the eagles are obliged
to traverse large area. This fire.
quently carries them SO miles or more
from their nests.
La the case of the eagle captured
near Eineland the other day the bird
was only imprisoned after a. fierce
struggle. The capture was made by
John Barracliff while driving through
the woods.
He found two immense bald eagles
III mortal combat on the top of a great
oak tree. The birds fought Desperate
ly Tor about ten minutes, showering
feathers on the ground below them.
Finally one of the eagles in an attempt
TO escape flew downward, but caught
one OF It's wings in bush. Barracliff
rushed at it, club in hand. Before he
could oVerpower it he was cut in the
head by blow from it's beak.

Dwarfs of the Congo.

A study has recently been made Of
the dwarfs who live in the Congo for
est in the vicinity of the Semliki river,
in the Uganda protectorate. These
dwarfs are of two types. Those of one
are black-skinned with considerable
stiff black hair on their bodies; those
Of the other have red and yellow skins,
with tendency to red hair on the
head and yellowish-gray hair on their
bodies. They are quite intelligent,
and, though extremely ugly, are de-
scribed as being usually of winning

POOR PEOPLE IN PARIS.
Gan NO Longer Live in the City Be-
cause of the Advance in
Rents.

The housing problem is one that for
years has lain heavily on those with
small incomes in Paris.
Every day the French capital be-
comes more and more impossible as
residence for poor people, and while
handsome houses grow more nu-
merous, reasonable lodgings become
scarcer.
The poor no longer find it easy to
secure apartments at a modest rental
in the city unless they are willing to
be confined in barrack-like tenements
in the sixth or even seventh story
or shut off in a courtyard where they
get very little daylight and hardly
ever see the sun. writes the Paris cor
respondent of the London Mail.
The workingman has, therefore,
been obliged to migrate to the out
skirts of the city, and whole suburbs,
like La Nillette on one side of Paris
and Grenelle on the other side, are
now inhabited exclusively by indus
trial colonies
Every exhibition in Paris has
brought rise in rents all round and
to-day the landlords dues are higher
than ever. Less accommodation is
available in Paris for a given rental
than in London and the sanitary con-
dltions are generally inferior.
The better housing Of the working
classes, however, is beginning to at
tract the attention of reformers and
when the extension of the city even
tually takes place perhaps some i'm
provement will be effected

GOT A JOB LOT OF RUBIES.
By Chance 81 minneapolis Man Sc
cured Choice Collection
of the Gems.

James 0. Beaudry, Minneapolis
man, is being congratulated upon the
remarkable fortune which has at
tended chance purchase of his,
says the Minneapolis Tribune.
Some five years ago, while in Hall
fax, n. S., he CHANGED upon a Russian
who had in his possession several
rough stones of peculiar red color.
Mr.. Beaudry was impressed with the
appearance of the stones, and finally
procured one for a mere song and
placed it with some other trinkets,
all of which he soon lost sight of.
About three weeks ago the circum-
stance was brought to his mind by
seeing another stone which resem-
bled the one he had bought. He
looked up his possession, and, after
examining it little, took it to a
local jeweler for examination.
A close scrutiny of the stone led
to the belief that it was some kind
of a ruby, and, at the suggestion of
the jeweler, it was sent to New York
for the opinion of an expert.
The stone proved to be a Siberian
ruby, from the mines in the north
western part of Siberia, and some
idea of its value may be obtained
from the fact that it is worth $75
per carat. The Minneapolis man has
ten stones which were cut from the
rough piece. Four of these weigh
each 1A carats, two weigh one carat,
two seven-eighths of a carat each and
quarter carat in WEIGHT
