Those persons who do not enjoy
being vaccinated will be interested
in the following statement from
the New York Sun: Lettuce is
an absolute preventive of small
pox. No one is in the least parti-
Gle of danger of catching smallpox
who eats a little lettuce every day.
Smallpox belongs to the scorbutic
class of diseases. Sailors at sea
deprived Of fresh vegetables get
scurvey. Scurvey is a typical
scorbutic disease. Smallpox is
another. Smallpox always RACES
during the winter season, when
the poor people are deprived of
fresh vegetable foods. Celery
and onions are good for this pur-
pose, but there is such long in
terval between their being gather
ed and being eaten that they lose
most of their anti.scorbutic prop
critics. Lettuce is served shortly
after it is picked, and, hence, con-
tains the valuable properties which
will prevent smallpox. 1t is a
thousand times better than vacci-
nation. 1t has no liabilities, like
vaccination, to produce other dis
eases. We are willing to stake
our professional reputation on the
broad statement that anyone who
eats lettuce daily will not catch
smallpox, whether he is vaccinated
or not" If the Sun is correct,
how delighted the world will be.
Nothing could be more agreeable
than vaccinating ones self with a
dish of crisp and succulent lettuce,
accompanied by a dressing pre-
pared in accordance with Sidney
Smiths receipt, which is still
about as good as any other. All
hail, lettuce! Commercial APP

The Methodist Sunday-school
embarked from the union station
last Tuesday morning with over
four hundred excursionists, men,
bers and friends of the Sunday
school. The beautiful grove on the
premises OF Mr., Marshall Martin at
Martin was the place selected this
year and right it was i'll every par
ticular. The crowd reached the
grounds and soon entered into the
days sports. Of course all games
were in order, including a game OF
baseball played by the boys of Mar
tin for the entertainment of the
visitors, but the event of the occa-
sion was the mock trial, in which
Stsnly Shives figured as the de-
PENDANT. He was charged with
stealing a sixteen-year old girl with
the Romantic name of Appletree,
and the jury and court assembled
to dispose of the case.
The jury was composed of ladies'

nesses for the prosecution were W
P. Davis, Russell Garth and San

ing, and the lawyers contested
every inch of ground. The charge
to the jury was brief and the twelve
honorable gentlewomen promptly
returned verdict, giving Mr.. ShiV'
his liberty and the girl gentle

WOULD NOT OBLIGE THE DUKE
King Edward Declin I'd to Change I h c
Name of MARLBOROUGH House,
the Royal Palace.

The duke of Marlborough recently
asked King Edward to change the
name of the royal palace now called
Marlborough house SO that the new
palace which the duke is building
for himself on Curzon street, May
fair, may have that name. But after
consulting with the prince of Wales
and with court officials the king de,
cided that it might cause great con-
fusion IL the name was changed. so
the duke has decided to call his new
mansion Bandford house, after his
second title. 1t might far more fifty
be called Vanderbilt house, although
the duke never loses an opportunity
of denying emphatically that it is in
whole or in part a gift from his
father-inlaw. Like most building
operations, it is said to be costing
the duke more than double the origi-
nal estimate, and is making a far
heavier drain on his resources than
he ever contemplated.

METAL THAT WILL NOT RUST

Alonzo Ramsdell the city hall ele-
vator conductor at Chicago, who has
invented an alloy that will not rust,
after experimenting with his compo-
sition for so years, received a few
days ago patent papers from Wash
ington, and he now proposes to start
a foundry for the manufacture of his
iron.
II have discovered q composition
that results in an iron as nearly inn
pervious as it is possible for metal to
be" said Mr.. Ramsdell. THE mate
rial will be practical for all purpos es
where iron is used, particularly fer
metal that is used under ground
such as gas and water pipes. 1t is
also just what mechanics have been
trying to discover for use in the
manufacture of plows. Flows rust
so rapidly that they soon wear out
and become valueless.
~ have experimental with my
composition in various foundries
around Chicago. and practical men
who have seen me manufacture the
metal have been convinced that tn"
composition is all that is claimed for
il. Rust or moisture cannot pcnc-
trate it."

VARI-COLORED THOUGHT.
scientL~t of philadelphia Backs Up
Prof. Gates, Saying Theory 10
Probable and May BE Proved.

John Quincy Adams, the scientist,
OF Philadelphia, believes in the dis
covery made by Prof. Elmer W. Gates
Of Washington, and is inclined to think
with Gates that knowledge of mans
mentality may be gained by inspect
ing the colors of the breath under
varying moods.
He does not doubt that Gates has
Invented a method of ascertaining the
breath colors.
Prof. Gates theory, he says, is, at
its root, the same as that OF the Eu-
ropean scientists. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the various colors have
a more or less potent effect upon
the spirits OF man-quite as much, in
deed, as material stimulants, such as
drugs and liquors. Fed, for instance,
is the most powerful color.
Prof. Adams cites the case OF a
photograph concern in France, which
noted that workmen employed in a
room lighted by red panes of glass
talked necessarily throughout the day,
were merry-eyed to boisterousness,
and nightfall found them completely
exhausted. They called in an emf
nent Partisan scientist, who ascribed
the conditions of the workmen to the
color of the light in the shop, and sug-
gested that green lights be substituted.
His advice was taken. AS a result
work in that department was carried
on quietly and the condition OF the
men at the days end was normal.
Green light, though stimulating, is
but half as powerful as red, and has
a restful quality the brighter light
does not possess. Blue is a sedative
and yellow and white even less po-
tent in stimulation. In the treatment
of nervous diseases the confinement
OF cases in q blue room has been help
full.
The effect of different colored light
upon moods has been clearly demon
strated, Prof. Adams argues, and
there is every reason to believe that
mans moods might reflect different
colored lights.

PARROT AT THE TELEPHONE
The Sound Of Loved Ones Voice Sets
the MOckinE Bird to Talking
HiA Best.

Not all parrot stories are pretty,
but here is the prettiest that ever
was told-and fact, too, says the
Boston Transcript. Caddie is the one
of all the family with whom the
parrot really cares to talk, and to
her his condolences and his criticisms
of the various members of the house
hold are ever ready and voluminous.
Silence, long unbroken, had fallen
for days on his corner, and, to tell
the truth, was not unwelcome, alto
gether, considering the satirical
rogue's sneering laughter when out
of sorts as he was during Caddie's
absence, or when for any reason a
prey to gloomy views Of life and its
mysteries. At last one day Caddie
got back to within telephone range
Of home. and called up the bird after
talking with the rest OF the family.
The moment he heard her gay and
familiar hail the parrot was almost
beside himself. futtering about and
rapidly retailing his whole stock OF
observations, calls, shrieks, whistles
and nicknames; all the while he eyed
the telephone with that cold air OF
suspicion and contempt mixed with
curiosity peculiar to the oblique
glance Of the creature, and then pro-
ceeded, followed by the family at
a careful distance on the sly, to
rubber" through the various rooms,
ND stairs and down, in search Of the
real presence OF Caddie.

DR.. X. b. Blandell, formerly of New

has invented device for the hanging
OF murderers which he wants tie
county commissioners to adopt. He

device will work. A piece of steel is
fitted behind the neck of the con
demned, The steel has sharp cor.
ners, the edges rounded off, and it is
covered with three thicknesses OF
cloth. The rope is passed through
the holes at either end, and when
the rope Is drawn taut the steel
presses against the neck. by this
means, the inventor says, the neck
will always be broken and quick
death will result.
