PATRIOT WAS IN A PICKLE
&ngAish ConSul at San Diego, CAL,
Was Mistaken for q Marauder
When Raising Flag.

Maj. Allen, the British vice consul at
San Diego, CAL, is a patriotic man and
on the day preceding the coronation of
King Edward desired to see the flag
OF his country floating over the lega-
ton Offices bright and early. So he
decided to hoist the flag on Friday
night before retiring. The consuls
Office is in one of the largest lodging
houses in the business part of the city.
and when he. had made his way through
the dark corridors and up the ladder to
the roof he accidentally knocked over
seVeral chairs and q few boxes, alarm
ing over half the dodgers, one of whom
rang in burglar alarm and SQUAD of
officers responded. A conference was
held with the frightened lod gers. after
which quick advance was made on
the fat roof, reports local exchange.
AS the posse appeared Consul Allen
was taking the kinks sout of the flag.
When he was ordered to th>ow up his
hands he refused. A second demand
was made accompanied by the infor-
nation that the challenging party
were police officers. The consul re-
piled that he was the local representa-
tive Of Great Britain and he dared them
to arrest him. OF course when he ex-
planned his midnight journey to the
roof the discounted officers quickly
departed and allowed the consul to
nnash his flag raising in peace. 80

APPETITE. AND AGE.
Well-Known Physiefan Who Depre.
Gates PreSent-Day. Practice of
Overlooking the AIRED.

Sir Henry Thompson deprecates in
creased eating as q means of keeping
up the strength of those who are adj
vancing in years, and particularly OBJ
jects to the repeated and general use
of concentrated forms of animal nour-
ishment for the aged. ,Overnourish-
ment in old age is apt to- lead to pains
and aches due to the impairment of ex-
cretion and a long protracted course
of overlooking will end in an attack of
govt. Even artificial teeth are not to
be considered an unmixed blessing,
for by provision of nature the teeth
begin to decay and become uxele SIS
just when the system begins 20 thrive
without much animal food of coarse
fiber. Indigestion, says Sir Henry
Thompson, is mostly not a disease,
but an admonition. "It is the lam
guage of the stomach, and is mostly an
unknown tongue to those who are aa-
dressed" 1t means that the ,indi-
vidual has not yet found his appropri-
ate diet. "There is no food whatever
which is wholesome in itself; that food
only. is wholesome which isl SO to the
individual."> /.

TURKEYS ARE NOT, STUPID.
Very Well When the Roos4 Was
In Danger.

"People generally think turkeys
have the least sense of all the de-
nestle fowls" said Frank Wilkinson,
Virginia farmer, the other day, re-
lates the Washington Star, "but I've
got some that seem to have more gray
matter than great many human be-
ings I know.
Zone night short time ago my wife
and T and some visitors were out driv-
ing in the evening. AS 7 was putting
up the horses after returning home I
noticed my turkeys were not roosting
as usual in the big buttonwood tree
by the barn. Instead they were
perched on the fence posts and in the
limbs of other trees.
."It struck me as mighty funny, as
turkeys on the place had roasted in
that tree ever since I could remember.
I mentioned it to my wife when I went
in the house, and she said she had no.
ticed it when we drove in and thought
it peculiar.
/. "'That night about midnight hard
wind and rainstorm came up and the
old buttonwood blew down. Now, how
did those turkeys know that tree
was doomed? At shutdown there was
no sign of a storm, and the buttonwood,
was fully so years old and apparently
as stanch as ever. ] tell you, I've had
great respect. for the Judgment OF
turkeys since. then" 49, =, =, :,

POISON POUND & n potato Es;


4 Potatoes contain 9 poisonous aka
loid known as solnnine. Lit tlesof this
poison il found IS the new potatoes,
but even fresh potatoes which have
grown above the surface of the soil
+ a: and have q green skin are generally
known to be poisonous, says s scien-
tific authority. When potatoes are
kept long time they contain a1large
amount of this poison, and many cases
OF serious poisoning have occurred in
late summer from eating old potatoes.
About ten years ago many soldiers in
the German. army were i'll from an IN.
known cause. They suffered with head
ache, collie, diarrhea, vomiting, weak
ness, and slight stupor, and in some
cases dilatation: Of. the pupils. u The
matter was investiga ted and it was dis
covered that the men; had been eating
potatoes which had been kept for q
long time in a damp place until they
had begun to sprout. Chemical ex-,
animation revealed the fact that these
potatoes contained "a times as much
solanine as is found in new potatoes.

STORIES OF SNAKEBITES.
ststisties Regarding Fatalities In In
~: y dias Are Unreliable andthe
ReasOn. - 49, i:

An English traveller just returned
from India says that the stories about,
the great number of deaths from
snake-bites In India are to a great
extent unreliable, as statistics, when
carefully analysed, show. He ac-
counts, moreover, for the extreme ex-
aggerations in figures on very plausi-
BILE grounds. In India, he says, the
law requires that when there is sud-
den death a detailed report of it must
be made to the civic surgeons, and as
there are many such deaths far from
the civic Offices where hereport should
be made, the under officers perform
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 poison
or otherwise-a report of death by
"snakebite" is made. This sort of re-
port is very convenient and makes in
tere&ting statistics. !" u.+..

siderable increase is apparent in re-
cent years. OF the total number in 1901,
$3.50 were males and 1895 females,
showing the same proportion as for
several years past. The causes Of self
murder were reported as follows: De-

CITY SAFER THAN COUNTRY.
More People Killed by Lightning in
the Open Than In the Wles-
Bound Houses.

It is in the country that most of the
fatal accidents from lightning occur,
and they are about evenly divided be-
tween people who are struck in houses
and those who are killed in the open
or while seseking refuge under a tree,
says an article on lightning, in Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly. To stand
under tree in thunder storm is per-
haps, next to clinging to lightning
rod, the most dangerous position that
can be chosen. The comparative safe
ty of the modern city from lightning
is due to the network of wires which
covers it, and the number of tall
buildings with iron points, tin roofs,
metallic cutters and steel frames con-
nected with the water, sewer and gas
pipes, which form an excellent system
of conductors. Still the city is not by
any means absolutely protected, for
when cloud with tremendous store
of energy approaches quickly, all the
wires and pipes in ten cities cannot
prevent it from discharging recklessly
right and left. 49,

BANKRUPTCY IN LIVERY.
Curious Laws That Were Enforced
Centuries Ago In England and
Scotland,

At one time in England and Scotland
bankrupts were compelled-to wear q
distinctive dress. This was result Of
enactments passed at various times in
Scotland from the year 1906 to 1858,
says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Edinburgh court of cessions speci-
fled the dress to be of parti-color, one
half yellow and the other brown, some-
thing after the style of the dress now
worn in English prisons by the worst
class of prisoners, those who have at
tempted to escape or been guilty of
murderous assaults on officers. The en-
actment also provided that the bank
rupt should be exhibited publicly in
the market place of his town for a
period of two hours, and then sent
away, condemned to wear the dress
until such time as he had paid his debts
or some one else had done it for him.
Although this was a period of laws
which can only be described as fero-
cious, this law was such an outrage on
public sentiment that in 1858 it was SO
far repealed that the wearing OF. the
dress was only compulsory in cases in
which fraud had been proved, or, Gu
riously enough, if the bankrupt had
been convicted of smuggling. The
same practice was legal, but not gen.
orally in force in England down to the
year 1886. The idea was, Of course,
to warn persons who might have given
credit that the bankrupt was not able
to pay, but popular sentiment soon
recognized that it was wholly unfair
to impose such excessive penalties on
q man who might have become bank
rupt through no fault of his own, and,
as usual, when the law became con-
trary to public feeling, it ceased to be
operative.
