DISEASES THAT DO YOU GOOD.
People Suffering From Rheumatism
and Gout Live Long.
From Parsons Weekly.


Have you had smallpox? If you
have, and you have recovered from the
terrible disease without your eyesight
or hearing being seriously affected, as
is very often the case, you may con-
graduate yourself that smallpox at
tackled you, for you will probably,
barring accidents, live considerably
longer and enjoy better general
health than if you had never had the
disease.
1t is a remarkable fact-one of ma
lures peculiar compensations-tha
people who have suffered from small
pox generally live longer than people
who have not. Why this should be
the case there is only an improved the
ory to explain. and the theory is that
the microbes which go to make small
pox being very powerful and pug
nacious. swallow up the microbes of
many other diseases which they find in
the systems of persons they attack.
Hence, by contracting smallpox Sc
verely you stand a good chance of
eliminating from your system other
diseases which would seize upon you
at some time or other, and, likely
enough, prove fatal.
At the same time IL must be admit
ted that smallpox is not scheduled as
a preventive medicine, and the number
of persons it either kills, mains or

When will fashion return to the white
or gray stocking of undyed wool? Doc
tors, since colored stockings have be-
come the mode, have been reaping a
golden harvest from the leg maladies
of ladies. Violent shooting pains
weakness and numbness, swollen joints,
muscular atrophy, false or nervous
rheumatism or grouty rheumatism are
among the ailments attributed to COL
ored stockings. 1t was remarked by a
Vienna doctor that the wearers of silk
stockings suffered as well from verti-
go and retching. He thought of having
the stocking analysed, and found they
were loaded with a preparations of
lead, which the skin absorbed. His
patient returned to the old fashioned
white stockings, and has been improv-
ing since she did so. This case has
made noise in Paris. and let us hope
it will dethrone the present mode Most
dyed stockings are poisonous. Those
beautiful aniline red ones into which
the neither limbs of children are thrust
contain arsenic. Lavender stockings
derive their beautiful tint from a pre-
paration of mercury.

TO GROW RAMIE IN FLORIDA.


st. Augustine Record: Mr.. George
F. Miles will leave tomorrow for Eau
Gallie to inspect the operations now
under way of the National Ramie
Company, Of which he is a director.
The culture and preparation of the ra-
mic plant. from the ram state to
condition making it ready for market,
has been undertaken, and p success
full will result in one of the most inn
portant industries on the East Coast.
One of the main difficulties in the way
of the profitable cultivation of this val
liable fiber plant has been the eX
pense of preparing it, and this has been
removed by the invention of a ma
chine owned and controlled by the
company, which not only effectively
does the work, but also greatly cheap
ems the process. The company now
cinity of Eau Gallie, under the super
vision of Mr.. Warren Bedding of New
York. Two hundred acres are being
prepared and the work of planting
the ramie root begun. The character
of the enterprise is indicated by the
names of the officers Of the company,
which has been incorporated under the
laws Of New Jersey: President, Rich
ard G. Delafield, president of the Ma
tional Park Bank of New York; direc-
tors, Stuyvesant Fish, president of the
Illinois Central Railway; Richard G..
Delafield and William II. Bliss of New
York, George l.. Bradley of Washing
ton, D. c., and George F. Miles of this
city. Ramie is largely used in the
manufacture of damask goods, blend
ing with silks, and the waste product
makes the finest class of paper; in fact,
the bank notes issued by the French
government are made of ramie.

SECRET ROOMS OF ENGLAND.
Mansfons-Trap Doors, Swinging
Pictures, and PRIESTS Holes"

Pictures, and PRIESTS Holes"
From the London Mail.
There lived long ago. in the old
olas Owen, who devoted the greater
part of his life to constructing hiding
places for prosecuted priests.
The places were called priests
holes" and were made in various ways
with the greatest skill and ingenuity,
in the principal Roman Catholic houses
all over England.
AS Mr.. Allan Fea shows in his very
interesting book on "The Secret Rooms
of England" no precedents were al
lowed to bias the choice of hiding holes
in those who designed them, for the
more remarkable the place the less
likelihood there was of its being dis
covered. One house would have its
secret room in a chimney, entered from
the hearthstone, though cases are re-
corded in which chimney-pot unsul-
lied by smoke has led to the detection
of the prey; another would utilize a
sliding or swinging picture like that
one in Lyme Hall. Cheshire; an inno-
cent-looking settle" would prove the
entrance to a hole, or a false floor
would accommodate refugees.
At Upton Court a curious place for
concealment exists in one of the gables
close to the ceiling.
1T is triangular in shape, and is
opened by a spring bolt that can be
Unmatched by pulling a string which
runs through tiny hole pierced in the
framework of the door of the adjoining
room. The door of the hiding place
swings upon a pivot, and externally is
thickly covered with plaster, so as to
resemble the rest of the wall, and is
so solid that when sounded there is
no hollow sound from the cavity be-
hind, where, no doubt, the crucifix and
sacred vessels were secreted.
Not far off, in an upper garnet is
a hiding place in the thickness of the
wall, large enough to contain a man
standing upright. Like the other, the
door or entrance forms part of the
plaster wall. Again, in one of the pas
ssges of this curious old mansion are
further evidences of the hardships to
which Roman priests were subjected
a trap in the floor, which can only be
opened by pulling up what exteriorly
appears to be the kaad of one of the
nails of the flooring; by raising this Il
spring is released and a trap door
opened. revealing large hole with a
narrow ladder leading down into it,
When this hiding place was discovered
III 4ooV lts contents were Slgnlncant,
viz: crucifix and two ancient pc
tronels."
On the occasions that mass was to
be celebrated in these secret chapels
1t was customary to inform the neigh
borhood by some such understood sign
as the hanging out of linen to dry upon
the hedges hard by.
The narrow escape of some of the
prosecuted priests would fill several
volumes and for thrilling excitement
that of Father Blount at Scotney Cas-
tie, the old house of the Darralls on
the borders of Kent and Sussex, is a
good example.
"One Christmas night, toward the close
of EliZalbeth's reign, the castle was
seized by party of priest hunters,
who. with their usual mode of proce-
dure, locked up the members of the

The killing of the two Lloyds by
Charles Mikell in Jacksonville Thurs
day night. an account OF which was
given in the Morning News, has caused
quite a sensation in that city. The
Lloyds were both we'll known and well
liked, but since Mikell's statement Of
the manner in which he was decoyed
out Of the city and the assault upon
him by the Lloyds many have come to
the conclusion that the Lloyds were re-
sponsible for the several highway rob-
berries which have recently occurred in
Jacksonville. Mikell was completely
exonerated by the coroner's Jury. He
told very straight story and the man.
ner in which he was beaten and
bruised shaved the terrible fight In
which he had been. Dee Lloyd, who
survived the shooting about twenty
Tour hours. had his clothing set FIRE
py the shot which brought him down
ana was painfully burned. He made a
blet dying statement, In which he said
Ahat his brother and Mikell got into
