PERSONAL AND 1MPERSONAL.

! There is man in Havant, England
who, having been completely bald from
the day of his birth, has started fine
crop of hair at the mature age of 90.
A north Chicago boy was recently
struck by lightning, and now the only
means of vocal communica ton left him
is bark, which is indistinguishable
from that of dog.
| One of the decisions of a lunatic
recently sent to an asylum at Ararat,
Victoria, was that he was being pur-
sued by a ghost which had come all the
way from the Galtee mountains, in
| Ireland, to haunt him.
The orders of decoration borne by
| the German emperor are worth about
| $225,0O0. His most valuable decora-
| tons are the insignia of the Black
Eagle, the Order of St. John, of the
Garter and of the Toison dor. In all
he has over 200 crosses, stars, badges
and other insignia.
A Wichita (Kan.) Chinaman tells the
Eagle that he is going back to China
to be married. When asked if he would
fetch his wife with him on his return
he replied that he would not; that
after two or three months he would
| come back and leave his wife to work
for his father.
Joseph NJ. Wade, of Boston, has been
made noble of the fifth Japonic de-
cree by the mikado and by virtue of
that decoration is entitled to inter-
view the ruler OF Japan at any time
the only American so favored. For
years Mr.. Wade has been a discrimi-
mating patron of japanese art andhas
given much attention to students from
the land of the chrysanthemum when
they came to this country for educa-
ton. 1t is on these grounds that the
emperor of Japan paid him such sig
nal honor.
Private" John Allen, of Mississippi,
congressman, seems to have an mex

a rail fence. The other man was about
to bolt for safer place when a shell
from federal cannon burst few
yards away. john said he, "what

VIRTUES OF THE PINEAPPLE,
The Juice of the Fruit Said by Scfen.
tihc Authority to Hold an Active
Digestive Principle.

The partaking of a slice of pine
apple after meal is quite in accord
ance with physiological indications,
since. though it may not be general
ly known, fresh pineapple juice con-
tains remarkably active digestive
principle similar to pepsin. This
principle has been termed 'brome-
lin, and so powerful is it's action
upon proteids that it will digest as
much as 1000 times it's weight with
in few hours, states London Lam
Get. Its digestive activity varies in
accordance with the kind of proteid
to which it is subjected. Fibrin dis
appears entirely after time. With
the coagulated albumen of eggs the
digestive process is slow, while with
the albumen of meat it's action
seems first to produce pulpy gelat-
nous mass, which. however, COM
pletely dissolves after a short time.
When a slice of fresh pineapple is
placed upon raw beefsteak the sur
face of the steak becomes gradu-
ally gelatinous, owing to the digest
i've action of the engine of the juice.
OF course, it is well known that di-
gestive agents exist also in other
fruits. but when it is considered that
an average-sized pineapple will yield
nearly two pints of juice it will be
seen that the digestive action of the
whole fruit must be enormous. The
activity of this peculiar digestive
agent is destroyed in the cooked
pineapple, but unless the pineapple is
preserved by heat there is no reason
why the timed fruit should not re-
tain the digestive power. The active
digestive principle may be obtained
from the juice by dissolving a large
quantity of common salt in it when a
precipitate is obtained possessing the
remarkable digestive powers just de-
Sscribed.
Unlike pepsin. the digestive prin-
ciple of the pineapple will operate in
an acid. neutral. or even alkaline me-
dunn, according to the kind of pro-
ted to which it is presented. 1t may
therefore be assumed that the pine
apple engine would not only aid the
work of digestion in the stomach,
but would continue that action in
the intestinal tract. Pineapple, it
may be added, contains much indi-
gestible matter Of the nature of
woody fiber, but it is quite possible
that the decidedly digestive prop
critics of the juice compensate for
this fact.

Superstitions About Birds.

Upon the graves of the dead in Turk
fish cemeteries little vessels of water
are placed for the benefit of the birds,
and some of the marble tombs have
basins chiseled out for the same pur-
pose, the superstition being that birds
carry messages about the living to the
dead, and, like everybody else in Tur-
key, are suspected of being spiteful
unless something is done to curry their
favor.-London Chronicle.

New York, May 1t,.--Dr. William Tod
Helmuth, one of the most famous
American surgeons, is dead at his
home, GG1 Madison avenue. Death
came suddenly and was caused by an
gina pectoris. Dr.. Helmuth had t
been in the best of health for soiac
time. but his death was not expected to

Dr.. Heimuth reached an age when
most medica! men arc not active in the
profession, he having been horn in
Philadelphia on Oct. 80. 1893. He grad
uated from the Homeopathic Medical
college in Philadelphia in 1853. He at
tended the Hahnemann college in San
Francisco and in 1866 received degree
from that institution. In 1877 he secur-
ed degree from the regents of New
York state, and in 1888 Yale conferred
on him the degree of IL. ID. *
Dr. Helmuth was not only surgeon
of rare skill. Int he was an accepted
authority on diphtheria. He also had
considerable literary ability. having
written several books and considerable
verse that have been highly commend
ed.
