Brain-Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish a particular
part of the body but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be. its nutriment is
destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
You must prepare for their appearance
or prevent their coming by taking
regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. Few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifes the blood, and makes
you feel buoyant and vigorous. You

the year just closed shows that con-
struction was greater during 1901 than
for any single year for the last eleven
years, the total milage built this year
being 5057 miles. In 1890 the total
built was 500 miles, and 1900 1T was
4437 miles. Of the total Wisconsin
secured 1856 additional miles this year.
The Chicago & North Western built,

of 223 miles: the Chicago, Milwaukee

Women are constantly complaining
that eligible aen show most uncom-

stead of selecting wife. It is. there
fore, good thing that the same con-
ditlons DO not prevail in England as
In some parts of China, or the prob

In these Celestial regions the bride
grson-elect has to submit to being
dressed up by his friends IN any sort
Of costume they like, and thus habitcd
they accompany him in state through
the streets of the town. Perhaps in
that part of the world men are over
anxious to be married, and everything
which can possibly be done to induce
them to remain single until they az

resorted to.

stories Of Snake Bites.

An English traveller just returned
from India says that the stories about
the great number of deaths from
snake bites in India are to great
extent unreliable as statistics when
carefully analysed. He accounts,
moreover, for these extreme exaggera-
lions in figures on very plausible
grounds. In India, he says, the la y
requires that when there is sudden
death detailed report of it must be
made to the civil surgeons, and as
there are many such deaths far from
the civic Offices where the report
should be made, the under officers per-
form their duty with the least possible
trouble. To save the annoyance OF
transporting dead bodies, or vital or
gans, and the loss of time In getting
evidence on the facts of the cases
which may be plain murders, by poi
son or Otherwise report of death
by snake bite" is made. This sort
of report Is very convenient and
makes interesting statistics.

SHOWING DOGS.
How Amateur Breeders Make Their
Worst Mistakes

WOFSL mfStdkCS.
There is no reason why any woman
well informed as to dogs should not
win her fair share of honors. One
great trouble with women exhibitors
land not a few mem is lack of judg-
ment where a favorite dog is concern
ed. Some one gives them, or they
buy. a puppy from well-known ken
mel, and, of course, the puppy has a
pedigree. To a novice, pedigree is
about all that is thought to be neces-
sary. So soon as the puppy is old
enough it is sent to a big show, where
its owner calmly, or otherwise, awaits
the blue ribbon, which, in her case.
she confidently believes to be her un-
doubted due In about ninety-nine
cases, this particular canine mareS
does not even get plain C. Where
upon the confident owner gets fearful
or furious or both.
Pedigree must be supported by indi-
vidual quality in order to win on the
bench. The unbiased and trained
eyes of the judge are looking for quail
ity, which. must be present If an ami
NAL is to win. In the judges mind is
picture of the ideal perfect dog, as
set forth by the adopted standard for
that particular breed, and only animals
rather closely approaching that ira
to serious consideration. Few green
owners rightly understand this scor-
ing. and fewer yet can fairly judge
their own dogs, because they are so
fond of the animals as to be blind to
what may be blaring imperfections.

One of the Oldest signs in Washing
ton is the cast iron figure of China
man, about three and one-half feet
in height, that stands in front of a
livery stable on Sixth street north
west between Pennsylvania and Louis

1862, and is one of the familiar land
marks of the city.
During the civil war Gems Grant,
Mcclellan, Hooker aud others. who
patronized this stable great deal,
tied their steeds to this hitching post,
and since then other distinguished
personages have lad occasion to use
thisspost during every presidential in
auguration that has occurred since

AS a matter of fact, this much of
Sixth and Louisiana avenues is q his.

It was on the corner of this street

commander, Gen. Winfield Scott, when
the former withdrew from the Union

Bees and rheumatism.

Our contemporaries seem to be
elated over the bee cure for rheuma-
tism and devote considerable space to
this stringent remedy. For ourselves,
W. can see no reason for rejoicing.
We have been set upon by hive full
Of bees and we have been rendered
helpless by q rheumatic onslaught. OF
the two evils it's toss of the penny
which is the "wusser." The bees
make up for the short duration Of
their inniction by the pungency of the
pain; rheumatism isn't quite SO Sc
we're as numerous bee stings, but it
detains one from business more than
a day and makes one feel like walk
ing barometer, twenty years older in
damp weather. One thing is certain,
however, an aggressive, able-bodied,
active bee can make itself so bust
ness like that the rheumatic not only
forgets his rheumatism, but every

Novel Pet OF n Philadelphfa Woman
Catches Mice.
A Philadelphia woman who dislikes
both cats and mice has discovered a
novel substitute for one as an exter-
minator OF the other. This substitute
is nothing more nor less than an ordl-
nary land tortoise.
Ever since last summer, when the
tortoise was added to the family circle
by the woman's youngest son. aged 9,
she has noticed that the mice. with
which the house had previously been
overrun, were gradually disappearing.
IL was not ratii the ether day, how
ever. that she discovered the cause.
She was sitting very quietly with some
fancy work. and the tortoise, which
has the liberty OF the house, was APP
parently asleep in corner. Presently
little mouse made It's appearance,
and the tortoise opened its beady eyes.
Round and round ran the mouse, get
ting nearer and nearer the tortoise as
though fascinated. Finally It was with
in striking distance. The tortoise
darted out its head. there was snap
of the jaws. tiny little squeak, and
the mouse was dead.
Then the tortoise calmly and DELHI
erately set to work, says the Philadel-
phia Record, to eat its victim.

The three most popular games OF
the last twenty years have all required
mora or less physical skill, and all
originated in England. Others, en-
titled to little serious notice perhaps,
but which have assumed the position
of definite "crazes' for considerable
time, are -tiddley winks," ''pillowdex'
and now ping pong. This last was
first played in England with rubber
balls. All the ping pong material used
in this country, it is said, is made by
one New England firm who secured

of the water and started the craze
that has since swept the States.-New

WANTED TO FIND OUT.
Scientist Used a Friend TO Test Certain

When ones friend is scientist and
given to experiments, little caution
may not be out of place before con-
senting To do him favor. That, how
ever, did not occur to a well-known
public man whose experience is related
in an Austrian paper, says the Youths
Companion. He went to the laboratory
of an old schoolmate, Melbourne pro-
lessor of chemistry, to make friendly
call. The professor was studying a
dark brown substance spread out on a
sheet OF paper.

been exchanged, would you kindly let
me place bit of this on your tongue?
My taste has become yitiated by try
ing all sorts of things"
Certainly responded the accom-
modating friend, and he promptly
opened his mouth.
The professor took up some of the
substance under analysis and put 1t on
his friends tongue. The man worked
1t around in his mouth for fully a
minute. tasting 1t much as he might
have tasted a choice CONNECTION.

has this to say of the origin of the
deception, by which thousands were
taken in
The catastrophe now approached
rapidly, and soon affidavits from men
of high character in Iowa and Illinois
established the fact that the figure
was made at Fort Dodge, in Iowa, OF
great block of gypsum there found;
that this block was transported by
land to the nearest railway station,
Boone, about forty-five miles distant;
that on the way the wagon conveying
it broke down, and that, as no other
could be found strong enough to bear
the whole weight, a portion of the
block was cut off: that, thus diminish
ed, it was taken to Chicago, where a
German stone-carver gave it final
shape; that, as it had been shortened
he was obliged to draw up the lower
limbs, thus giving it a strikingly con-
tracted and agonized appearance; that
the under side of the figure was
groved and channeled, that it should
appear to be wasted by age; that 1t
was then dotted or pitted over with
minute pores by means of a leaden
mallet faced with steel needless; that
it was stained with some preparation
which gave it an appearance of great
age: that it was then shipped to
place near Binghamton, New York
and finally brought to Cardiff, and
there buried. 1t further came out that
Hull, in order to secure his brother
in-law, Farmer Newell, as his confed-.
crate in buying the statue, had
sworn him to secrecy, and in order
that the family might testify that they
had never heard or seen anything of
the statue until it had been unearth-
ed, he had sent them away on little
excursion covering the time when it
was brought and buried. All these
facts were established by affdavits
from men of high character in Iowa
and Illinois, by the sworn testimony
of various Onondaga farmers and men
of business, and finally by the admis-
sions, and even boasts of Hull himself.
