The Fatal Dice.

The German emperor has just made q
most interesting historic presentation to
the Hohenzollern museum. 1t consists Of

young girl had been murdered and sus-
picion fell on two soldiers. Ralph and
Alfred, who were rival suitors for her
hand As both prisoners denied their
guilt. and even torture failed to extract
confession from either. Prince Frederick
William, the kaiser's ancestor. decided to
cut the gordian knot with the dice box.
The two soldiers should throw for their
lives. the loser to be executed as the
murderer. The event was celebrated with
great pomp and solemnity and the prince
himself assisted at this appeal to divine
Intervention, as It was considered by
everybody, including the accused them
selves. Ralph was given the first throw,
and he threw SKIES, the highest possible
number, and no doubt felt jubilant. The
dice box was then given to Alfred. who
fell on his knees and prayed aloud, AL
mighty God, Thou knoweSt l am inno-
cent. Protect me, L beseech Thee!" Ris-
ing to his feet be threw the dice with
such force that one of them broke in two.
The unbroken one showed six, the broken
one also showed six on the larger portion,
and the bit that had been split Off showed
one, giving a total of thirteen, or one
more than the throw of Ralph. The whole
audience thrilled with establishment. while
the prince exclaimed. God hath spoken.
Ralph, regarding the miracle as Sign
from heaven, confessed his guilt and was
sentenced to death. 1t Is probable that
Alfred ever after did not number himself
among those who look upon thirteen as an
unlucky number.-London Taller.

nine miles out of town.
''AIl day during our stay at the Mus
coga camp We spent in fishing and
hunting and tramping over the coun-

and doing something, so that we would
not brood over our disease; and when
night came and dinner was over we
turned in with the tent-flaps up and
slept like logs for eight hours.
only few weeks were spent in the
MuScoga camp. Our next move was
to a point 100 miles west of San An
tonic, Tex, and there we settled down
to the real sort of life conducive to the
cure of the disease which afflicted us.
During our three months tent life
in Texas we practiced no unusual or
strange habits of living, save in the
point of sleeping with the tent flaps
up in all sorts of weather. We ate
three meals a day, consisting of game,
fish, fresh beef when we could get it,
potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables,
fruit and white bread. We took no
medicine of any kind. 1 started to take
a tonic when l began camp life in Mich
igan, but found that it did me no good,
so L left all medicine off the bill of
fare. 1 did not stop smoking either,
but kept my pipe as a companion
throughout my stay in the West. AS
l said before, the only unusual feature
of our camp life was the fact that we
slept practically in the open-that is,
all flaps of the tent were raised at
night; and, while we had a cover over
our heads, we got the benefit really Of
sleeping out Of doors.

That fresh air and plenty of exercise
constitute a cure fer consumption is
today an established fact 1t cannot
longer be regarded as theory.
The case of Dr. Thomas A. Berryhill,
now surgeon of the cruiser Baltimore,
of the United States navy, furnishes
testimony of a cure which cannot be
disputed.
There is no doubt that DR.. BerryhiII
had fallen a victim to tuberculosis. He
realized it himself, and his belief was
substantiated by a naval board of ex-
aminers. He asked the board for
fifteen months leave of absence, went
West, camped in Michigan for three
months. spent several months of tent
life in Texas, went to Coio1 edo for six
months as a finish to the fresh-air
course, and returned to be pronounced
by the board a we'll man.
DR.. BerryhiH consented TO tell what
course he pursued in curing himself
of consumption.

No longer can Simeon Ford. the slim
and satirical proprietor OF the Grand
Union hotel, boast of the finest assert
ment In New York of waif trunks and
valises left by persons who forgot to
pay their board bills. There are any
number of hotel managers in the city
now who can beat him out of sight.
The reason for this is that Mr.. Ford
sold his varied collection of 400 trunks
and dress suit cases at auction a few
days ago. before he sailed for Europe.
He refused to entertain a suggestion
that he send them to the Metropolitan
museum. He went there with his fam

$4,000 a year. No hotel Is immune

Consumption can be cured. Air, rec

essentials. The old theories regarding

Fresh air and exercise did the work
In effecting the cure for me, and 1t
will do it for any one else. AS long
as there is life there is hope for con-
sumptive, and my advice to sufferer
from that disease is simply this: Take
camping outfit and get away from a
city or town, get out in the country
where pure, fresh air is, and the drier
the air the better. There is no better
place than Southwestern Texas. Eat
good, wholesome food, and as much of
it as you please; sleep eight or nine
hours a night with the flaps of your
tent up, and during the day take a gun
and tramp through the woods and over
the plains as long as you have strength,
and don't worry. Exercise in the open
is the whole secret of the cure, but
you can seriously impede your progress
toward recovery by allowing your mind
to brood over your condition and wor-
rying about 1t. Keep busy out of doors.
Walking, / believe, is the best form Of
exercise, but one must walk with some
ODJect IN view. "A man would TIRE IN a
little while if he started out simply to
walk with no fixed destination or no
immediate object, but put gun on his
shoulder and tell him there Is game
in the surrounding woods and fields and
he can walk all day, and come home
just tired enough to eat a big dinner
and sleep well all night OF course
man must gauge his exercise by his
strength, and not oyerdo, but he must
not underdo himself.
1.-THE outdoor cure can be accom-
piished here in the East, and is being
practiced up In the Adirondacks."
