AN OBJECT LESSON


physician puts the query: "Iave
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty. vigorous old
men at the tables; men whose ages
run from 60 to so years; many OF
them bald and all perhaps gray, but
none OF them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation
or comment, but nevertheless it is
an object lesson which means some
thing.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will OBJ
serve that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their
way through a menu card of new
tangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer juicy roast of
beef, properly turned loin of NUT
ton, and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored.
The point of all this Is that a Wig
orous old age depends upon good d.
gestion and plenty of wholesome food
and not upon dieting and an endeavor
to live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat.
coffee and many other good things are
rank poisons, but these cadaverous
sickly looking individuals are a
walking condemnation of their own
theories.
The matter in nutshell is that il
their stomach secretes the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quantity
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; If the stomach does not do
so, and certain foods cause distress

cling public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart's Tablets.

ton. her friends having asked that this
be done. She was unknown to him,
he said.
DR.. Mabon had a short talk with the
woman, and she appeared much calm
er while he spoke to her in French.
What the conversation was about
could not be ascertained. The superin-
tendent said papers in her possession
showed she is probably Mrs Maignen.
She had several hundred dollars in
her purse.
When DR.. Mabon ordered the wom-
an to be taken to the insane pavilion
she became violent, but whether or
not she understood where she was to
be taken or not could not be guessed
from her face or language. She raved
incoherently and struggled as the two
detectives who had had charge of her
in the cab tried to start out of the
room with her.
1t was decided, however, to search
the woman and see if any other indi-
cations of her identity could be found.
Then the two revolvers, loaded, were
found in her pocket. She had not at
tempted to use them.
One of the big attendants took hold
of her and the woman struggled still
more. Another and another seized her
until four attendants and the two de-
tectives were holding her. Her fine
physique made her struggles effective
for time, but the strength of half a
dozen men was too much for her and.
raving like a maniac, she was carried
to the insane pavilion across the hos
pital yard. There nurse was assign
ed to watch her closely
One of the detectives who was IN
the cab with the woman said she had
been at the hotel three days and had
shown a mania for buying diamonds.
He said she had visited leading jewel
ers and ordered at least 100000 worth
Of diamonds and jewelry, that amount
having been sent to the hotel for her.
The address of the woman or her
husbands business address, according
to this detective, is No. 1910 Arch
street, Philadelphia.

DREW PISTOL IN WALDORF,
Woman Started n Panic Among the
Hotels Guests.

Woman Started n Panic Among the
Hotels Guests.
From the New York Herald.
There was a scene of wild excitement
last evening in the Waldorf-Astoria. A
magnificent looking woman of 80 years,
who registered at the hotel three days
ago as Mrs. T. A Maigner of Philadel-
phia and is said to have ordered $780,
900 worth of diamonds at several large
jewellery establishments and had them
sent to the hotel, started almost a
panic by fiourishing two loaded .32-cal-
ibre revolvers. She was put into a
cab and taken to the Bellevue Hospi-
tai, insane pavilion.
DR.. Mabon, the new Bellevue super
intendent, says he thinks he knows
who her husband is, and he believes
she Is a French woman of prominence.
He would not divulge all he knew
of her case.
The woman was not violent in the
cab or in the hospital until she was
about to be taken to a pavilion, when
she raved. She is tall, splendidly built,
with exceptionally handsome features
and the immediate stamp of refine
ment. She wore four diamonds rings
each of the gems being more than a
carat in weight, and she had a dia-
mond studded watch, with a long, fine
gold chain. Her dress was of black,
with big feather. She had a great
mass of healthy black hair, which was
curled behind her tiny ears.
DR.. Merwin, superintendent of the
Outdoor Poor Department, said the
woman was to be held for observa-

for a criminal punishment as well.
Judge Adamson has had this bill in

STATUE OF GEN. LEE.
VIII Probably Be Placed I'm the
National Capitol.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 17.-In the State
Senate to-day bill was introduced
by Mr. Halsey providing for a statue
of Gen. Robert e. Lee in Statuary
Hall, in the Capitol at Washington. In
connection Herewith a letter from
Senator Daniel was read. in which the
Senator says, among other things:
"A letter from Elliott Woods, super
intendent of the United States Cap
itol building, addressed to me JAM. 3,
states that the state of Virginia is
entitled to two statues in Statuary
Hall, and that the statue of Washing
ton is now in place. 1t seems fit that
the Virginia artist, Edward v. Valen-
tine, whose recumbent figure of Lee
has attracted worldwide attention,
should also have the honor of repro
ducing his upright form and features
in the statue contemplated. There is
no one to whom L have mentioned the
subject who does not cordially APP
prove the placing of Lee in the Cap
itol of the United States by the side
of Washington"

AN ORIENTAL MAIL SERVICE.
Curious System In the Land of ,oOI
Nights.

From the New York Post.
There is a glamour around Bagdad,
a halo of mystery tinged with pomp
and splendor. The home of Haroun-
al-Rashid and the scene of his adven-
lures, 1t is known as widely as the
Thousand and One Nights, but like
Constantinople, the capital of the en-
pire in which Bagdad stands, 1t gilt
ters from the distance, the nearer view
dispelling many cherished ideal. Still,
even amid the strange hygiene, quaint
etiquette, and odd ways of the place,
the resident comes across scenes and
incidents so odd as to make one be-
lieve it is yet the days of Haroun-
that the sun of history has gone back
many degrees on the dial. Some things
cannot be compared with our institu-
tons, and others can-the management
of the mail is one of the latter.
There are two ways of sending this
in Bagdad-one the Turkish, the other
the British. Practically all letters go
ing west go by the Turkish system.
By this there are two routes, one by
camels to Damascus, and thence to
Beirut, whence 1t is transported by
steamer to Brindisi, and afterwards by
rail; the other by camels to Mosul. and
then by mules and rail to CONSTANT
nople. Letters from Constantinople
take some twelve days; not long ago
the time suddenly jumped to forty-six
days, and when the postoffice officials
were asked to explain, they said: Now
the mail comes partly by rail. Hence
the delay!" This is a sweetly Orien-
tai idea-a railroad to take thirty four
days longer than camels.
When your letters come depends
upon when the mail arrives and may
be any time of the day. Perhaps one
of the most comical parts of the service
is the fact that the carrier cannot
read. AT the office he is told what
houses are to. have letters. Then be
sings his bag over his shoulder and
trots off, hopping from side to side
of the concavity that is gutter and
street, and thus wends his tortuous
way through the city till he arrives at
a house for which he has mail. Upon
entering he unslings his bag, opens it
and pours the contents on the floor,
at the same time telling you to pick
out such letters as belong to you!
There is a charming naivete and in
genuousness about the whole proceed
ing which strikes the Westerner as ir-
resistibly comic. When you have
taken out your share the remainder
is bundled back, and off he goes to the
next house,

THE VAULE of CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

~ ahu beauty
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is . remedy that the more
you take Of 1t the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or. after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal, and other
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with money.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal. says: II ad-
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat; / also believe the liver is great

they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drug stores. and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet / be-
