Divide the Wreckage.

The wreck of the great ship Tan tallen Castle on the rocky shore of Robben island has attracted attention to the leper colony located on that speck of terra firma. The lepers, of whom there are several hundred, have a peculiar custom of dividing the fore shore of the island into portions. one portion being given to one leper. Whatever jetsam is cast upon that portion becomes the private property of the individual to whom it is as signed. This unwritten law is rigidly observed and causes no disputes. A more dreary existence it is hard to imagine than that on this cheerless spot of sand and rock, which is sub feet to great heat in the summer and very boisterous winds in the winter. London News.

The natives of Mindanao, in the Philippine islands. have novel way of crossing the river in the rainy sea son when it is in flood. Instead of working the ferry by means of rope or sweep they harness it to a carribao, or water buffalo. and drive" across the river, These water buffaloes are used as beasts of burden in the Phil ippines, and the wealth or otherwise of a native chief is gauged by his neigh bors by the number of carribao he possesses.

$500 FOR $1.O0.
A Profitable Investment.

John Blakely of w. Lebanon, Pa. reports that he got more value from $10O worth of Grape Nuts food than from 5000 spent in noted hospitals trying to get well from stomach trouble. He says: After all my experience, I had to come home thinkin g there was no cure for me. I was so weak and nervous I could hardly walk, and for three years I hadn't a good nights sleep. I was run down until I only weighed i20 pounds
 'I commenced using Grape-Nuts about a year ago and now I weigh 16S pounds and can do as good a days work as any one. When I go to bed sleep all night peace- fully and am refreshed in the morning. I use Grape-Nuts food every day and know it is the greatest blessing that ever was sent to suffering humanity I believe if it had not been for this food I would have been under the sod before this." There Is a reason. No food in existence contains, in a concentrated form, the clements that will rebuild the nerve centers and the brain as Grape Nuts, and the beauty of the food is that it Is perfectly cooked at the factory and by process of manufacture is predi- gested in a natural way, therefore requires but trif1ing power of the stomach to di- gest 1t.

Reason Why Clock in Federal Building is Not Illuminated
NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE
Custodian Bingham Says the Tower Was Not Wired for Electricity and That the Gas Was Cut off-Re-
 ceives Attention.

The wasted energies of the big clock in the tower of the government building, whose face becomes hidden as soon as the shades of night fall upon Jones valley, is charg- able to no less a parsonage than Uncle sam who has failed to provide the neces- sary funds for Illuminating the dial.
 Julian H. Bingham, collector of internal revenue for Alabama, who is custodian of the building, when seen yesterday regarding the matter, said:
 When the clock was formerly lighted 1t was by gas lights at an expense of $6O per month. When the building was wired for electric lights no provision whatever was made for wiring the clock Why not, do not know and therefore cannot say. What I do know Is, that after the building had been wired for electric lights the use of gas was discontinued. which order included the tower clock. The lighting of the clock by gas lights was discontinued purely as Q matter of economy. No arrangement has ever been made for lighting it by electric ity.
 "All federal buildings are under the juris- diction of the Treasury Department, and are under the immediate control and manage ment of the superintendent of public build ings. If the matter should be brought to his attention and meet with his approval he could order the clock to be lighted, but at this time there is no fund out of which to pay for 1t.
 Asked as to why the clock did not keep correct time, MT. Bingham expressed sur prise, and intimated that somebody might be mistaken in preferring such a charge against so august a thing as a government clock. He had never before heard its in- tegrty questioned and had supposed it was above suspicion It was apparent that he was intensely in earnest, and this is what he said. "The contract for regulating, re- pairing and keeping in order all the clocks in this building was awarded to Rosen- stihl Bros, and refer you to them for an answer. That contract expressly included the tower clock"
 John Rosenstihl, who has charge of the clock was seen and said: "Yes, I have charge of that clock in the tower of the federal building. It is exactly on time now; the fact is, it is usually correct. To be sure it gets out of whack now and then. I watch it carefully and just as soon as I find it the least bit Off I go and regulate and set it. That is all there is about it."
