SURE CURE FOR TYPHUS.
Picked Cabbage Juice - Providing
the Patient He Not
GlaZfer.

At recent session of the Pegasus
club, an organization composed ex-
clusively of poets, the talk turned to
medicine, and DR.. S. Weir Mitchell,
who is novelist as we'll as a poet,
told this story, says the Boston
Post:
"There was once a physician who
was summoned hurriedly at midnight
to the house of an upholsterer. The
upholsterer had bad attack of
typhus fever, and was plainly dying.
Nevertheless the physician pre-
scribed for him, though he had no
hope of the mans recovery.
1.-THE next morning he called at the
house again, expecting to find the up
holsterer corpse, but he found him,
instead quite well. He had recovered
as by a miracle.
"'How does this happen? the
physician asked, and the man re-
piled:
"'After you were gone. sir. was
seized with a violent thirst, and
drank a quart of picked cabbage
juice. Immediately L proceeded to
get better
Wonderful exclaimed the physi-
clan, and he wrote down in his note
book: Picked cabbage juice-a cure
for typhus.'
slater he was summoned to an
other typhus sufferer, and pre-
scribed, of course, the cabbage juice,
but this second man died.
"'What was our poor friends bust
ness?' he asked the widow, and she
said: He was a glazier.'
"'Aha!' cried the physician. And
he amended his notebook so that it
read: Cabbage juice, a cure for
typhus, if the patient be not a
glazier.'" =

WORLDS PETROLEUM SUPPLY.
Scientist Declares That Deposits of
the Globe Are of Volcanic
Origin.

E. Coste, the president of the Cana
dian Mining institute, recently read an
interesting paper before that body,
says the New York Commercial Adj
vertiser, setting forth his reasons for
believing that the petroleum deposits
of the world are of volcanic origin. He
points out number of facts which
render the theory at present generally
held by ologists-that it has arisen
directly from the decomposition of or
ganic remains, animal and vegetable
untenable.
He calls attention to the fact that
no such process is at present under
way; that all organic decomposition of
animal matter is so rapid and COM
plete that there is no opportunity for
the entombment of anything but
bones in sedimentary rocks; that as
the oil deposits of the lower silurian
limestone of Ohio and other fields are
below the carboniferous beds and as
it is generally admitted by biologists
that previous to the latter age there
was very little vegetable life on the
earth, these enormous deposits could
not have arisen from organic remains,
because there were few organisms at
that time, and, finally, that if petrol
cum was due to the destructive distil-
la ton of coal, there would now be no
coal beds, all having long ago been
transformed into petroleum and
cokelike residue.

THE POLITE RETORT.
Royal Return to a Vulgar snub De-
Mvered In Smooth But
Telling Manner.

1t is my belief that every blessed
one of us really enjoys the denoue-
ment of a melodrama, not so much
villainy is crushed. Personally, l
know that 1 prefer seeing a rude
ness properly rebuked, to seeing it
turned aside by gentle word, and
play in which the villain is dis
armed off the stage is as nothing to
me, says a writer in the Washington
Post. l speak of this because l saw
a snub given and SO royalty returned
in the parlor of fashionable hotel
here in town, that the old Adam
within me had half days inning.
Before the open fire sat a richly
dressed woman who was used to
speak often and long of the ways
things are done "on the other side"
an expression, by the way, that al.
ways makes me think of the way
some people order their eggs fried
though we VOTED well, those of us
who VOTED about it at all, that she
was from the west, and had been
abroad for the last two years. In a
corner near the lady sat her daugh.

room isn't done up till four in the
afternoon, and clean towels are for

loud-voiced and rough-mannered, but
rue-gentleman-at-hea kind of a
man came into the room and shouted
out:
Good morning, everybody" and
then, not finding the friend he
sought, went out again. Said the
lady who knows all about the "othe1
side" in French, to her daughter:
ASK madam there who that i'm.
possible, vulgar person is"
The daughter translated the ques.
ton into English, for neither daugh.
ter nor mother wished to offend the
other woman in case the impossible
person should prove to be a frieno
of hers, by speaking of him as vulgar
in tongue she could understand.

The other woman made her answer

wroth and had moreover spent -four
years in Paris.

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.
Ornamental and Useful Articles That
Are Designed for Well-Ap-
pointed Homes.

A new thing in fern dishes, both
large and small, is lacquered copper,
oval in shape.
For the toilet table are dainty arti-
cles of cut glass, with gold mountings
and powder boxes of dull gold, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Glassware in all colors, and dark or
light shades, is being attractively
mounted in metals for vases, center
pieces, ash trays and similar arti-
cles.
A freproof ware for baking dishes
of all kinds comes from France. 1t
is light brown in color, and white in
side. 1t is non-porous and very light
in weight.
A convenient rack, to be placed on
the wall near the stove, will hold
from six to IL pot covers of all sizes.
There is also a rack for the cooking
spoons and forks.
A beautiful new cut-glass vase has
a rather small, round base, something
like water bottle, and a broad, far
ing top. The shape is antique in de-
sign, and the cuttings are varied and
artistic.
Bone-handled carving knives may be
had with adjustable blades, fastened
in place by spring. When the knives
need cleaning the handles can be cas-
lily removed, thus saving them from
injury.
Cheesecloth is of the greatest serv-
ice in house cleaning, as nothing is so
nice for polishing mirrors, windows,
furniture, silver and cut glass as this
absorbent cotton, which is even better
after being washed.
A chatting dish in golden copper, with
trimmings of silver around the edge,
is handsome novelty. The handle is
of stag horn. All the accessories are
also of copper, tray, spoon, fork, skim
mer and alcohol flagon-the handles
being of stag horn.
For children's rooms are burlap
screens, with Kate Greenaway pictures
across the top or delightful things in
burnt and painted wood, representing
chubby children In various attitudes
and having appropriate verses on each
panel.
Many quaint, old-fashioncd designs
are being broughtoutin quartered oak
furniture. A small, round table with
drop leaf is bordered with graceful
carving. Squares of tapestry are in
set in the backs of chairs of attractive
design.
If handsome, delicately tinted wall
paper has been marred by a great spot,
it may be removed by scraping piece
of French chalk, mixing with powder
thus obtained with clear, cold water,
and applying for at least 12'hours, after
which dust lightly off with a soft,
clean cloth.
A new design in screens particular
1y suited to a den, hall or country
house, has heavy black walnut frame,
with small upper panels don in bright
colored hunting scenes or Remington
pictures. The lower part is of gray
or tan leather, the natural stripe of
the hide, being laced together with
leather cords,

Ragged Rebels
copyright. 1908, by w. L. Vail


I" - Aged rebels" was the COM
mon epithet applied by
MA naughty British officers to
belittle the Revolutionary
soldiers. The sheer lost it's point after
few battles, for in spite of an occasion
nj flag of truce visible along the rear
of the line, their patched up and nom
descript weapons and go-as-you-please
discipline, they killed the redcoats man
for man and sometimes two to one in
battle. They were out for a killing
time and they had it, therefore they
were a success as soldiers.
But for the spirit which fred the man
behind the gun in 1776 the Continental
army would have been a beggarly
crowd indeed. The minutemen came
to the rendezvous armed with any old
thing, apparently believing, with Mrs.
Darlington, that shooting iron is
dangerous even without lock. stock or
barrel They bought powder and
lead, likewise old army muskets, sur
reptitiously, for the market towns were
patrolled by Jealous British regulars,
and they nodded bullets by hand at
their secret camp fires, using lead clock
weights in many instances, for that
metal was very scarce in those days.
Regular soldiers were objects of ha-
tired to the Continentals, for the only
ones they had ever seen were minions
of oppression. Some of the older "reb-
els" had fought the battles of the reg
ulars in the French and Indian wars.
They knew them and despised them,
for the backwoodsman and farmer was
the best man in border fight Regu-
lars had lost Braddock's Field, and
Washington's ragged militia had pre-
vented the humiliation of Braddock's
army. Having a touch of vanity in
spired by election to office the petty
leaders of the Revolutionary troops
tried to put ON military style. Grand
fathers sword was taken from the wall
and strapped upon boys lacking the
inches to lift it's point from the ground.
Uniform coats that didn't go half way
round and cooked hats much too large
gave little appearance of authority to
the wearer even though they excited
ridicule.

Yet Men Drink 1t,

A molecule of alcohol is composed of
two atoms of carbon, six of hydrogen
and one of oxygen; so synthetical al
cohol is obtained by uniting these
atoms accordingly. For long time
it has been known that by direct com
bination of carbon and hydrogen in the
electric are, acetylene can be obtained.
Sufficient hydrogen must be added to
the acetylene to produce ethylene. a
constituent of Illuminating gas. In
combining water with the ethylene al
eohol is obtained. Thus, alcoholis pro-

The Foundation of Health,

Nourishment is the foundation of health
-life-strength. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
is the one great medicine that enables the
stomach and digestive organs to digest,
assimilate and transform all foods into
the kind of blood that nourishes the
nerves and feeds the tissues. Kodol lays
the foundation for health. Nature does
the rest. Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and all
disorders of the stomach and digestive
organs are cured by the use of Kodol.

Pope Bicycle Calendar

The REISSUE of the Pope bicycle
daily-leaf calendar may be considered
the opening gun proclaiming the nat
ural and healthful return of bicycling.
Col. Albert A. fope, the founder Of
our bicycle industries and the pioneer
in the good roads movement, is again
at the head of the bicycle industry.
Upon the 1865 calendar leaves are
freshly written lines, from the pens of
our greatest college presidents, doc
tors, clergymen, statesmen, and other
eminent men and women, all of them
enthusiastically supporting bicycling.
Half of each leaf is blank for mem
oranda. The calendar is free at the
Pope Manufacturing company's stores,
or any one of our readers can obtain
it by sending five two-cent stamps to
the Pope manufacturing Co., Hartford,

Song Recital.

A very large audience was at the
city hall last evening to hear the song
recital by Mrs. Hollingsworth- Watkins.
The recital represented three periods
in American music, the singer wear
ing costumes BETTING the times. The
affair proved very enjoyable social
gathering.
Thirty-two members of the John H.
Reagan Camp of Confederate Vete-
rams attended the recital in body,
and to those old comrades the airs
which are linked with scenes of their
boyhood days were indeed pleasing.
The costumes of the sixties took them
back to the time of their first avowal
of love and caused them to live over
again the days when their young
hearts gave passionate throbs for the
dainty lass wrapped in so many frills,
ruffles and hoop. In fact, they were
made boys again, just for the night.

Only One Thing.

"Will you forgive me?"
The young and beautiful girl buried
her face in her hands.
"Alasl" she murmured, "when I
told you last night that l loved
you, and when allowed you to press
your attentions upon me, fear that
l was not conscientious enough. The
truth is that the beauty of the night
and the influence of the full moon
all the surroundings, had such a sem
timental influence upon me as to
make me lose myself. Will you for
give me?"
The man she addressed, overcome
by the. sad truth, was for time too
much moved to answer. But sitting
his emotion, at last by supreme eff
fort he murmured: "And there is no
hope? Can nothing be done?"
Nothing" she sobbed. "Nothing-
except to wait for another night like
that" -Life.
