ing the crude fibre which forms the skin of the bean. Prof. Snyder points out that if housewives would, by the use of a small quantity of soda-half teaspoohful in two quarts of water remove the skins, the gaseous char acter of the bean would be modified and the process of digestion greatly aided.
 A pound of beans contains one-fifth of a pound of digestible protein, and somewhat less than three-fifths of a pound of digestible carbohydrates, mainly in the form of starch. Tn the experiments reported. over a pound of baked beans was consumed per day by men. engaged part of the time in active outdoor work. It is believed however, that not more sthan six ounces of baked beans should be con sumed in the daily ration.
 Though the amount of protein in beans is large they contain only a small amount of fat, and hence the addition of fat either by salt pork or butter, in preparing for the table, is reasonable.

that Haggerty's mother would sorrow to the end of her days if the body of her boy were left in the wilderness. and they also felt that the reproaches of all Hancock street, where they lived and were brought up together, would be upon them if they should fail to do what they could to bring the body home. The hove1 on the Allegash where poor Haggerty died, was 200 miles north of Bangor, and there was not even a tote road through the woods to Patten, the nearest settle ment. They could see, towering above the mists, the summit of Katah- din, and with that for a guide, they determined to make the attempt to carry the corpse out.
 Telling the boss of Lawier's drive that, so far as they were concerned, the logs could stay there and rot, Bell and Molloy placed the body of their dead chum in the bottom of canoe, and, taking handful of salt fish-and hardtack, they started down the AL legash. They Fad not gone far when they found that the canoe was in Gan- ger of being dashed to pieces against the rocks that studded the shallow stream, where the current runs a miE- race, and so they got out into the icy water, waist deep, and pushed the canoe, guiding it carefully, for 23 miles. At nightfaH Sunday they were so benumbed with cold that they were obliged to halt, and, pr;@ing the canoe up on the bank, they made big fire.
 On Monday they came to stretch where the water was so quick that one was obliged to care for the canoe while the other carried the body for five miles on his shoulder, struggling over powders, in rapids and through thorny underbrush. At noon they came to smooth water again, and from there to the journeys end it was merely a question of endurance. They reached Patten in the afternoon, ip time to have the body cared for and sent in the evening train to Bangor. They were so much exhausted that they staggered as they passed through the streets of Patten, and were un- able to eat the food set before them. It was an awful experience, ever for the wiry, tough-muscled Bangor log, drivers.
 Having seen the body on its way to Bangor, Jimmy" Bell and Danny Molloy turned back through tue will derness for the Allegash, sad over the. death of their friend "Reddy," but sat isf1ed that they had done all that men could do, and knowing that they need not be ashamed to go back to Bangor and face the neighbors in Hancock street. And in Bangor those who know them say:~ Jimmy and Danny's all right!"

How Two Log Drivers Took Body of ! Their Dead Comrade Home-Lots of Sand and Devotion in
 Their Makeup.

James Bell and Daniel Molloy, of Bangor, Me-, have proved themselves 'true blue" heroes, but they win get no medals-only the heartfelt thanks of poor people, the weeping mother and sisters of John Haggerty, and credit from every lumberman on the Penobscot for having lots of sand" in their makeup.
 It was seven weeks ago that John Francis Haggerty. of Bangor, better known as "Reddy" Haggerty, first class log driver, and he went to the far-away Allegash with 50 others, in- cluding some friends from his own town. Five weeks ago Haggerty be- came sick, having taken cold, and on g. recent Sunday he died-some say from typhoid fever, others from pneu- monia No one bothers to find out the details of woodman's taking off, for that takes time, and while men are plentiful, time is limited.

 When, after lingering for weeks in a wretched hovel, with no care save what his loyal chums could give him in their rough way, and with never
 
 a drop of medicine-when, after un- told suffering, poor Haggerty died, the first thing that occurred to, the boss of the drive was to dispose of the body, and he ordered it buried then and there, in the wilderness of the Ale gash, where the little mound would soon be lost in the tangle of under growth, unmarked and forgotten. The task of thus disposing of the mortal remains of 'sReddy" Haggerty fell to his two chief cronies-" Jimmy" Bell and Danny" Molloy, of Bangor. They were to hurry about it, too, for the drive was making slow progress, and their services were needed every min ute to prevent the logs from being hung up.

Do you watch your competitors newspaper advertising as closely as you watch his show windows? It's not good business plan to be too we'll satisfied. It's an undeniably good business plan to admit, if you feel that it's, true that the other fellow has made his advertising a little too good for your comfort and peace of mind; to find out by cold-blooded comparison, in what respects his advertisement beats yours-and then, in a quiet whisper to yourself, determine to set the pace for him for while.

 If possible get him in the hall for a few moments before play begins and fix up the signals. A kick on the shin is a good one for leading trumps When you want him to open his club suit, a playful uppercut on the point of the jaw will answer. Your oppo- nents will merely think it part of your sunny nature.

 Tn all cases of postmortems, refer to your former teacher, asserting that 1t is difficult to make headway when you are playing with someone who doesn't understand your leads.

ARRESTING A MAN.
What the Policeman Says and What
 He Does With You.

What the Policeman Says and What
 He Does With You.
 Although everybody in Washington has a much greater chance of being as rested than is dreamed of, few people have any idea of what they have to undergo or the treatment they will re- ceive once they are taken into custody '' said police readquarters detective.
 '"The unc2l tainty that q man has to face once he has been arrested begins with the moment the officer of the law, be he policeman or detective, places his hand on the man wanted. There are many ways for the officer to do this. Most of the men have their own particular expressions. You're want ed.' I guess you had better go with me- Come young fellow, and step ov- CT to the station' and hundreds of a like kind but you never hear one of them say, as the stage policeman does: I arrest you in the name of the law nay, nay, not even the newest ap- pointee on the force would be guilty of that.
 Some of the boys try to make the arrest as easy for the unfortunate man as possible, and the gentleness used would really surprise you. They do their work more in sorrow than in an- ger but it must be taken this way by the unfortunate. Let man kick or resist and then the whole aspect changes. Kindness gives away to frmness and frnmess to roughness, for the maj jesty of the law must be, upheld at any cost. The patrol wagon is call ed and the offender is hustled Into 1t and sometimes 1t is necessary for the wagon man to sit on him to keep him still.
 "When the police station is reached the prisoner is stood up before rail- ing, where the desk sergeant puts him through the paces. Asks his name, age, whether married or single, natlv1- ty, occupation and house address. He is searched and record is made of the things found in his pockets. All these, insluding private letters, which are never read, are placed in an envelope ready for delivery to the prisoner when he is released.

A MECHANICAL, PHENOMENON.
at Right Angles to Per
 pendicular Plane.

Cyclo, the Kinetic Demon, is the in ventor and patentee of mechanical enigma which is a stumbling block to scientists. The act itself is one of ex- trene daring and hazard requiring all most phenomenal Judgment and skill on the part of the daredevil and seem ingly reckless artist, besides an ad- justment of the zoetrope in which he rides to such mathematical nicety as to avoid the possibility of an acci- dent. This latter, however, does not entirely obviate all danger, for at ev- cry performance there is more or less of the element of peril present The fearful act may be classed as an enig- ma, or paradox, for the laws relating to gravity are absolutely defed, as the daring artist rides at right angles to a vertical plane, a feature hitherto never performed by anyone at any time in the worlds history Tn this most remarkable act, Cyclo, the Kinetic De- mon, whirls around an inside circle ar ranged at an angle of seventy-five de- grees, and obtaining enough momen- tum he gradually works his way up- wards, all the time making rapid TO- tations until he reaches the perpendic- ular side, when, still making circumro- tations of lightning speed, he assumes a position on his wheel at right angles, curiously maintains this perilous atti- tude without any other support than that afforded by velocity. To say the feat is unique and daring does not con- yey tithe of it's wonderful and peril ous character. It is really amazing and so fraught with danger as to be classed as death-defying deed of fas- .cinating interest, and one that notwith- standing the thrills of excitement the amazed spectators experience whenl seeing 1t they will revisit a dozen times. This is but one of the many new startling acts to be seen this sea- son with the Barnum & Bailey Great est Show on Earth when 1t comes here on Tuesday, June 30.

HysterIa In Dogs.

Nerves are the disease of the pres ent day among human beings, but did not know until recently that hysteria is also palady of dogs. A friend of mine owned dog which suddenly one day was seized with an attack of nerves. Since then it has been very i'll, wandering necessarily round and round the room, refusing food, butstill recognizing it's owner. Another little dog suffered from hysteria in conse- quence of fright from railway travel ing, and it really seems as though civ ilization, in rendering dogs more deli cate and more susceptible, had done them a distinct physical injury. -Lon- don Graphic.

 Tn front of the store is row of heavy iron hooks, used to suspend meat for display. In his fall young Jacobs right leg was caught on one of these hooks, and he hung suspend ed head downward for minure CT two. This broke his fall, but before assistance came the hook had torn through the flesh and the boy fell to the ground.
 Assistance was quickly summoned, and the injured lad hurried to St. Tim othy's hospital. Examination showed that his flesh had been horribly torn, and physicians say his condition is serious.
