THE PEPSIN HABIT.
Continuous Taking of This Simple

According to DR.. Mckenzie, of st
Louis, Mo-, there Is such thing as the
"pepsin habit" People take pepsin day
after day, until the stomach is made in
capable Of producing pepsin. The pepsin
which the patient has swallowed has
taken the place Of the natural pepsin of
the stomach. The food has been di-
gested in an artificial way, and the stom-
ach, finding itself excused from any fur
Their effort in this direction, quits the
business of making pepsin altogether,

Perhaps this description carriers the
matter little too far, says Medical Talk.
but it serves to call attention to the fact
that to take peps1n continually, month
after month, and year after year, more
harm than good is done. This is also
true Of any other remedy. There is no
remedy so simple, no medicine so potent,
no dope SO beneficial, but that the con-
tinuous taking of it will produce con-
dition as bad, if not worse, than the con-
dition for which 1t was originally taken.

MINUS AMERICAN FRIEND.
COrean MOHarch's Confidential Adj
wiser Former School Teach
er and Boomer.

Should Russia and Japan go to wal
over Corea, another turn of fortune
might come to Lehigh J. Hunt, the
American who is now confidential ad-
wiser to the king of Corea, says the New
York Sun.
He has already had more exceptional
experiences than fall to most men.
After having thrice met with financial
disaster and thrice Cancelled all obliga~
tons against him, he is said to possess
now fortune of $15,0OO,OOO, besides
holding the post already referred to.
He was born at Columbia City, Ind,
and for years taught in the public
schools of Iowa. He often wrote poetry
that was published in the state papers.
From Mt Pleasant he went to Des
Moines, where he was superintendent OF
schools. Next he was elected president
of the state agricultural college at Ames,
Iowa.
In the early '8Os he went to Seattle.
where he raised money by organizing a
stock company, and purchased the Daily
Post-Intelligence, paying $4,000 for the
plant. 1t was not long before It became
one of the strongest and most infiuen-
tial newspapers on the Pacific coast.
1t was the medium through which
Seattle made its boom, and the city was
greatly indebted to Hunt for the rapid
strides it made.
Hunt became identified with many in
terests in and about Seattle He was
president of one bank and director in
half dozen financial institutions. He
was interested in most of the railways
on the coast and an acknowledged po-
litical leader.
A seat in the United States senate
was offered to him at one time.
In the financial crash of 1898 he met
with losses and went from Seattle ow-
ing 81 100000. He sent word to his cred
itors that he would return and pay every
dollar with compound interest.
He crossed the continent and went
to New York, where he fell in with some
wealthy men who sent him to China to
build railroad.
Here he was again in hard luck, for
after his arrival the Chinese rescinded
the concession that had been granted to
the American syndicate.
After a few months, in which time
he learned much of value 10 himself
from the Chinese, he went to Corea, and
in some way became acquainted with
the king. He and the king grew to be
close friends. With his remarkable
knowledge Of finance, he was able to ne
gotioate a large loan from Russia to
| the king of Corea.
AS reward the king of Corea gave
him large tract of land upon which
were mines containing gold and sill
yer. Then again fortune smiled upon
Hunt. He organized the Oriental Min
ing company and sold an interest to the
Rothschilds, 1t is said, for Sc, 100000.
He returned to America and called to-
gether his creditors from every point.
In one day he paid out more than
| 100000. He also rewarded those who
had befriended him in his adversely.

American Divorces.

The increasing number Of divorce
cases has now become a racial danger
in the United States, and a union of
the clergy Of all denominations has been
formed to try to stem this tide of di-
vorce. 1t Is pointed out that in 20 years
more than half million divorces have
been granted In the United States. Dur
ing the same period In ali Europe, with
$50 100000 population, es against 81, O0o,-

STRANGE "HEALTH RESORT"
LOathsome CannibaI Meal Made on
an Island Recommended
for Invalids,

Grewsome details Of man-eating
orgy are furnished In the annual report
on British New Guinea, lately present
ed to the commonwealth parliament.
The information is supplied by resi-
dent magistrate, before whom six ma
tives had been brought charged with
murder and cannibalism, reports the
London Express.
Two women and boy were the wit
nesses. Laido, one of the women, swore
that the people Of her village had eaten
four neighboring villagers. The VIC
Tins were two men and two women,
who had come ashore at Laido's viii
lage In wrecked canoe.
They we're got out Of the canoe, said
speared one OF the men.
Then came Taubara," the woman
continued. "He took his tomahawk and
killed the other man with two blows
upon the neck. Wariwarubu then killed
woman with blow Of tomahawk
He held her hair in one hand and struck
her on the neck with tomahawk held
the other woman, also by blow with
a tomahawk.
81 saw those four people killed. I
saw with mine own eyes the four men
l have named kill them. When the four
persons were dead the people made a
big fire and scorched their bodies on 1t.
Then they cut pieces off with knives
and put these pieces into pots and
cooked them. And when they were
cooked the people-and there were many
sat down and ate of the flesh"
Had these people done her people any
injury? Laido was asked No, she
said; 1t was deliberate, cold-blooded
murder.
Let us kill these people," one of the
murderers had said, "but no one is to
talk about it, because of the police and
the government that will come and pun
ish U.S."
In view Of this occurrence 1t Is inter-
esting to note that New Guinea is Off
cially recommended to colonizers as a
charming health resort"
