Eall Cured MnsInnn.

In London a gentleman of high rank,
whose name has not been revealed, re-
Gently became insane on the subject of
religion. He saw gods and goddesses
in all sorts of inanimate things and
spent hours on his knees adoring them.
Eminent physicians regarded his case
as hopeless, and he was placed in the
charge of two attendants, who were
instructed to take him to lunatic asy-
lum.
Just as they were about to start,
however, the unfortunate man jumped
from high window and fell with
crash OH the pavement. He was severe
ly bruised, but in few weeks not only
were his wounds healed, but his reli-
gious mania also entirely disappeared.
The physicians say that his reason
was restored to him by the violent
shock, and they assert that such an oc-
currence is unprecedented in the an
nails of medicine.

At Bellevue hospital, New York, a
man named Smith, who had endeav-
ored to commit suicide by cutting his
throat, was recently cured in most
remarkable fashion. A tube was in
serted into the windpipe, so that the
man could breathe, but symptoms of
pneumonia appeared. So the doctors
placed kettle of boiling water beside
the bed, a pipe from which conducted
hot vapor into the artificial windpipe,
so that as he breathed a steady jet of
hot vapor passed into the injured mans
lungs. A tent was also placed over his
cot so that no chilling draft might play
upon him. This saved him from the
threatened pneumonia, and the man
was well again within three weeks.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Pure water is more essential than
clean grass.
Even though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them go
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until well feath-
cred.
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
NIiddlings make a good food for poul-
try, but If wet up alone it is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
Whitewash is better than paint on
the poultry houses for the reason that
1t costs less and has Il purifying influ-
ence. 1t may be applied as often as
once a month to advantage.
The properties Of sunhower seed are
peculiar, and a small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
imparting to the plumage of adult
fowls gloss that no other grain will
produce,

Slovak and Hungarian.

From the Slovensky Deunik, Pittsburg.
A considerable number of the hard
working people of our anthracite re-
gon are Sloyaks by. birth or descent
In the daily press, however, they are
frequently spoken of as Huns or Hun
garians, though neither of the two
names is correct and both do them in
justice.
The name Hungarian" is a purely
geographical term, absolutely meaning
less In ethnography. The kingdom Of
Hungary is inhabited by Magyars, Slo-
vaks, Russians, Roumanians, Germans
and Servans-there is no such thing as
an "Hungarian" nation. The Slovak
may be called Hungarian-in a polti-
cal sense only-as long as he remains a
subject OF Hungary, but when he comes
to the United States and becomes an
American citizen it is absurd to call him
Hungarian.
President Roosevelt might, with equal
propriety, be called Spaniard because
the land of his ancestors at one time
was ruled by the king Of Spain.
The other appellation, that of
Huns" is still more mlschevious, for
the Huns of history were enemies and
oppressors of the Slovaks. At present
there are no Huns known to ethnogra
ply, unless the Magyar of Hungary be
identical with the ancient Huns, whom
they strikingly resemble in appearance.
Both the Huns and the Magyars are
closely related to the Tartars and the
Turks, whereas the Slovaks, being mem
bers of the Slavic family, are Aryans.
Considered from the standpoint Of
ethnology, the difference between a
Slovak and Hun (or Magyar for that
matter is about as great as that be-
tween an Engishman and Turk.
The Slovak is neither Hun nor Hun
garan and altogether unwilling to sa il
under false colors. In this country he
seeks to acquire American citizenship,
and may add that the largest Slovak
organization in this country makes
American citizenship a condition pre-
cedent to admission.

FEAR OF A CAVlARE FAMINE
America Now Supplies the World
With Sturgeon.

NOW supplies the
With Sturgeon.
The time Is said to be not far off
when caviare will be as expensive as
canvasback duck or diamondback ter
rapin. Though supposed to be for
eign delicacy, 1t is almost exclusively
American. AT one time all the caviare
in the market was of European origin.
European waters have been nearly
fished out of sturgeon, however, and
today the German and Russian manu-
facturers, who have practical monop-
oily of the finished product, rely upon
the United States for the sturgeon eggs
out Of which the finished delicacy is
made. The same process of extinction
is going on in this country at very
rapid rate, and thus far no steps have
been taken by either the national or
the state governments to regulate the
industry. At the present time the three
centers of sturgeon catching are the
Delaware river, the great lakes and
the Columbia river. A limited number
are caught in Puget sound, and, ac-
cording to ship captains, there is still
vast and untouched supply in the
waters of southern Alaska. The water
ways which run from Vancouver
northward along British Columbia are
another field of considerable promise.
But the first quality and the one
which all epicures prefer comes from
the Delaware. That of the great lakes
is inferior IN flavor, while the Pacific
article is altogether too rank and
coarse for the most refined palate. 1t
was the latter which was described by
an Irishman as shad roe dressed in
cod liver oil. Up to the present century
there were many sturgeon in the Hud-
son and Connecticut, in New London
and Narragansett bays, as well as
Long Island sound, but the number
has grown steadily smaller and today
is scarcely worthy of consideration

One of the earliest members of the
Royal academy, it was Gainsborough's
custom to have his pictures conveyed
to the metropolis by Il prosperous Lon
don carrier, Mr. Wiltshire of Shock
erwick, near Bath. This man refused
to accept payment on the ground that
he loved pictures too well. He was
not, however, allowed to go unreward-
ed, for Gainsborough presented him
with six of his best works, and some
idea of their ultimate value may be
gained from the fact that when at
