The Potato as a Medicine.

The good results of administering
potatoes in certain forms of diabetes
are affirmed by a French physician
DR.. Mosse, who states that he has eff
fected cures-by this means. m. Mosse
thinks" says the Revue Scientifique
that this treatment probably acts by
alkaliniZation of the humors, in the
same way as the treatment by the al
kaline mineral waters of Vichy; be-
sides this, potatoes contain eyeglasses,
and bring to the tissues ferments fav-
orable to those oxidations that are
habitually retarded in diabetic pa
tients. The quantity of potatoes that
should be taken by the invalid varies
from two and one-half to three times
that of the bread eaten. But altered
potatoes should not be employed; when
jellied, they contain sugar; in too
warm a medium they begin to sprout
and their termination also develops
sugar, as well as solanin."
The writer remarks that in the
spring. when potatoes are scarce and
not very good, potato-bread may be
used to advantage, although little
known. This is prepared by mixing,
in proportions varying from one quar-
ter to one-third, wheat flour with
mashed potatoes. This food tastes
enough like ordinary bread to make it
palatable to persons who feel that they
must have plenty of the latter. The
use of the potato instead of bread de-
prives the body of certain useful phos-
pilates that are contained in the latter;
but this objection may be removed, we
are told, by adding eggs to the diet, es-
pecially the yolks. The Literary Di-

INSURANCE.
The Lloyds Concern Will Take Chances
on Anything.

When the fact of King Edward S
illness became known the underwriters
at Lloyds took insurance on his life for
SIX days at the rate of 80 per cent.
TO insure the kings life till the end of
July they charged 80 per cent.
OF course no physician acting for the
underwriters had examined the king
as he lay in bed in Buckingham palace.
The underwriters had no means of
knowing the kings chances Of sur
vival, apart from comparing the news
paper reports with such information
as they could obtain themselves. 1t
was merely gambling on the kings
life--a bet of 100 to 80 on the part of
the insurers on the kings lasting over
that period of time.
That is Lloyds. The underwriters in
that gigantic agency will insure almost
anything, will take chances, so long as
the premium is large enough to cor
respond with the risk.
They had already insured against
loss many who We're financially in
terested in the coronation. and many
who were not. They had insured stand
owners. decorators and florists. 1t is
estimated they have lost, on a con-
o'i DdSlS, Ut least SI,UUD.uDU DN
the ceremony's postponement over the
days set for it. If there should be no
coronation at all, they stand to lose at
least half as much again ON policies
covering that risk.
On the other hand the underwriters
insured the late queens golden jubilee
and her diamond jubilee, and, as both
took place according to schedule, they
made money in the outcome. They in
sured the queens life, too, for long
years before her death and made
money on that risk.
There is no institution in this country
which does this kind of thing. Lloyds
has marine branches here. but this
branch of its business is limited to con-
sentative England, possibly the last
place where the gambling spirit might
be expected to enter into business
transactions to anything like such an
extent.
In insurance in England there is
totally different spirit from that shown
here. Even the life companies will in
sure great man or a prominent wo-
man without the formality of a medical
examination.
1t is a curious place, the underwrit-
ing room at Lloyds in the Royal nx-
change in London. 1t has three rows
OF desks or boxes, at each of which six
persons may sit, and at these on. every
workday, the underwriters may be |
seen signing policies and discussing and |
paying claims for all sorts OF queer |
things.
They keep their hats on, as the

WOODEN LEGS FOR CAKE WALK.
An Interesting Dicussion by Two Gen.
tIemen, Each With Ligneous Limb.
Denver Republican,

fDenNer
A debate of much moment occurred
on Market street during the small hours
of last Thursday morning. The ques-
ton was: Can a man with a wooden
leg do justice to cake walk?' THOMAS
|O'RourISe took the affirmative and Mar
tin Marchiano the negative. AS each
possessed a wooden leg many argu-
ments based on experience We're offered.
O'Rourke asserted that the wooden
leg having a rhythmic swing-when at
tached to the stump of man with
music in his soul-kept perfect time
with syncopated music and gave forth
a sympathetic click which those who
were given to cake walking with ordi-
nary legs could not hope to secure.
Marchiano, on the other hand, insist
cd that on numerous occasions, at
Con- KelIeher's and BILLY" Roberts
he had tried the cake walk, both fast
and slow. and had been unable to do
anything with it. In fact, he asserted
that at one time he had been thrown
bodily from the dance hall because his
wooden foot had inadvertently come
down upon the toe of his partner in the
dance and she had screamed murder
IDC lOO lluIileTOuS anu lOO
personal to mention.
O'Rourke again insisted that it was
due to Marchiano's harsh and unsym-
pathetic nature, and offered to show
him a few pirouettes if he would agree
to buy the next drink. The debaters
adjourned to Keleher's dance hall
CRourke gracefully took the center of
the floor, and to the strains of Ma
Tiger Lily by the orchestra, performed
several steps to the wonder and ad-
miration of the crowd, ending his per-
Torrance by standing on his wooden
leg and whirling with the rapidity and
abandon of Dervish.
Marchiano was induced to attempt
the same performance and he tried to
demonstrate that while the sensa tionaI
feat of his friend could be duplicated,
there was nothing artistic about it. He
got along very well until he tried the
whirl, and then the fastenings of his
leg became loose, hurting him to the
| floor. striking on his head and still
whirling. O'Rourke laughed heartily,
| whereupon Marchiano recovered him
self and grabbing his wooden leg
dubbed it and attempted to commit
manslaughter. The combatantS We're
| finally separated and turned adrift in
| the street, still arguing the merits of
the cake walk as performed by wood
en-legged man.

YAWNS OF A WAKING CITY.
Beauties of Sunrise as Viewed from the Top of the Washington
 Monument.

The journey began at the darkest hour before the dawn, in weary climb through an eehoing dungeon 90 fathoms into the sky, with no guide for my steps but the flicker from smoke-dimmed lantern. and no com pany save the spirits of the night. al- ready spreading their wings for flight, says Francis E. Leupp, in Scribner's.
 At the top at last. The winding staircase ends in a square chamber pierced with deep-recessed windows, like the eyes of a giant peering from under g,owering brows. Through them may be seen haze overhanging everything below, thickening in the west and south, where a dense mist marks the tortuous course of the Potomac. The lamps in the city no longer twinkle. but merely lend vel low radiance to the veil of yapor above them. The only distinct points of light visible are the stars in an inky Armament. Yes, one other; against background of black in the east g,ows a flame like fixed meteor. Flowing curves which lead down from ii, so shadowy a to seem like phan- tom etching. suggest a cone-shaped dome. By degrees the contour be- comes bolder as the stars go out and the colorless sky ia kes on a grayish tinge. Then slowly the rosy flush of morning rolls up from the horizon and oyercomes the gray; the haze in the foreground melts away; the flame at the top of the dome vanishes like the light of a candle snuffed. and the mass of the capitol stands forth as man. moth block of marble on terraced pedestal of green-the detail of the facade barely visible, but the round outlines sweeping down and disappear ing in tangle of roofs and foliage.
 Faint sounds float skyward from the streets-the first yawns of a waking city. They are presently drowned in echoes which come whirling up the hollow shaft. These repeat the ex- change of greetings between the watchman mounting guard and the colleague whom he is relieving from nights vigil. The morrow is here, and life is astir again even in the Washington monument.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

At Plogastel in Brittany the bishop of Quimper lately found 66 couples waiting to be married. After he had finished the mayor was obliged to re- peat the civil ceremony as many times.
 Paris is smoking cigarettes made of the leaves of the coffee plant. They are made of different strengths, and are said to make the man who smokes them never want to smoke tobacco again.
 By the New Zealand census of 1901, Auckland has population of 67,@26, Christ Church 57.O41, Dunedin 52,390 and Wellington 49.344. The whole pop ulation of the Islands, including Mao ris, was S15,S20.
 French tenants have some rights after all. X Paris tradesman weigh ing 240 pounds hired a cottage at Fee camp, and on sitting on the balcony fell through and hurt himself. He sued for damages and won his case in spite of the defense that French houses are not built for persons of abnormal weight.
 \ portrait of John Bunyan, painted by Thomas Sadler in 1885, and he only authentic likeness known, with the eX- ception of pencil drawing i'll the British museum, has been acquired by the National Portrait gallery. It came from the Dowager countess of Cavan, whose family had possessed the picture since Bunyan's time.

 London young woman who at tained notoriety two years ago by marrying Lobengula's son while he was on exhibition at the Earl's Court show; has applied for a divorce on the ground of her husbands cruelty and misconduct She testified that he had given her black eyes and stabbed her with an assegai, when the judge, Sir Francis Jeune broke in with: That was what you expected in marrying savage, was it not?" The judge put off his decision. as he doubted wheth- CT ii could be shown that Lobengula's domcile was in England. He said, too, that he had only behaved like savage and that the petitioner had insisted on marrying him and now saw the re- suit of it.

Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters all over the Unit ed States. A recommend recently re- ceived from Catholic institution in the Southwest reads as follows:
 4 Prominent Mother Superior Says:
 "I can testify from experience to the efficiency of Peruna as one of the very best medicines, and it gives me pleasure to add my praise to that of thousands who have used it. For years l suffered with catarrh of the stomach, all remedies proving yalueless for re- lief. Last spring l went to Colorado, hoping to be benefited by change of climate and while there a friend ad vised me to try Peruna. After using two bottles l found myself very much improved. The remains of my old dis ease being now so slight, I consider myself cured, yet for a while l intend to continue the use of Peruna. 1 am now treating another patient with your medicine. She has been sick with malaria and troubled with leucor- rh9a I have not a doubt that a cure will be speedily effected.'
