New Bedford Mass, March 2d.-At
658 First street, this city, lives a very
happy man. His anne is Uric Levas-
seur and he certainly has good reason
to feel glad and proud.
Mr.. Levasseur has been sick for a
long time with general weakness and
a ore pain in his back. At the last he
got SO very bad that he could not
walk without great misery. Now he
is well, and in speaking of this won
derful change in him he says:
II believe it to be my duty to tell
everybody how I was cured. l was SO
weak that I could not stoop. In fact, I
was unable to walk without great pain.

and after a two months treatment l
am well and sound again.

GEN. BOOTH A VEGETARIAN.
Salvation Army Leader Will Not Eat
Meat.

Few people are aware that Gen.
Booth, head and founder of the Saliva
ton Army, who recently visited this
city, is a pronounced vegetarian. In
years he has eaten neither fish, flesh
nor eggs, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial-Tribune. Even butter, milk
or vegetables cooked with fat are de-
MED. His diet is solely upon cereals,
boiled rice being largely his susten-
ICE He occasionally eats rice for
breakfast, dinner and supper, and
then enters upon the same diet the
next day.
A member of the army said recent
ly: Gen. Booth believes in his body.
Yet meats and strong drinks he heart
lily despises. He will not smoke, be-
cause he realizes that he has a nerv-
Gus system that must be protected. He
will not drink, partly from principle
and partly because he realizes that for
every stimulation there is an equal
and consequent reaction. He is a
vegetarian not merely because he be-
lieves that primitive mankind-the
Adam and Eve of the Bible-were
v~egetarians, but because, after a long
practical trial, he finds himself far
younger than his years, while the NOR
tai parts of most men, who laugh at
what they call his crankiness, are like

Gen. Coughs Victory.

A good story is told in connection
with one of "Goof Bahawder's" battles
with the Sikhs. Cough was a man Of
extraordinary personal bravery, but
he was also extremely reckless and
impetuous. and his great idea on all
occasions was to charge. His staff,
soon realizing what risks attended
this dashing description of tactics in
dealing with such an enemy as the
Sikhs, persuaded Cough at the COM
mencement of one Of the more impor-
tant fights to mount a high tower, only
accessible by a ladder, the suggestion
being made that he could better d.
rect the operations from that emf
nence. Cough climbed to the top of
the tower, and rapidly came to the
conclusion that the only course was.
as usual, to charge; but when he
wished to descend, the staff and the
ladder had disappeared. The story
goes that there was no immediate
charge. and that the battle was won
for that reason.-London Globe.

A Ceiiino Duster.

In the nursery tales the famous o.l
woman who is credited with the de-
sire to "sweep the cobwebs off the
sky" was armed with a broom, and
in the household realm the broom has
long been recognized as the most eff
fective medium for busting the walls
and sweeping the obnoxious cobweb
from it's lofty resting place. An expe-
rienced housewife living in a country
town. however, states that in this ad-
vanced age walls and woodwork are
best busted with a long-handled win
dow brush covered with canton fan
mel. "The brush not being in Such
frequent demand as the broom" she
says, "can be put away with it's cover
on, and thus is always ready for an
emergency in the shape of a cobweb."

A Third Y

In ancient times a short-sighted SOL
der or hunter was almost an impos-
sibility; today a whole nation Is at
flicted with defective vision. It Is al
most certain that man once possessed
a third eye, by means of which he was
enabled to see above his head. Tho
human eyes formerly regarded the
world from the two sides of the head.
They are even now gradually shifting
to a more forward position. In the
dim past the a flap was of great
service in ascertaining the direction of
sounds, and operated largely in the
play of the features. But the muscles
OF the ear have fallen into disuse. for
the fear of surprise by enemies no
longer exists. Again, our sense of
smell is markedly inferior to that of
savages. That it is still decreasing
Is evidenced by observations of the
~olfactory organs. But the nose still
indicates "a tendency to become more
prominent.

CHECKS CLEARED BY PHONE
Novel Scheme Is Practiced In the
"Prosperity Belt"

"~Prosperity Belt"
Down in the Prosperity belt as
we call it, we've got the whole world
beat for real progress" said a coun-
try banker who was in the city last
week. After delivering this declara-
ton he bit the end of a cigar and set
tied back in a chair in a lobby OF n
Of the big hotels.
Eyes, stree, we beat the world for
genuine progress" he continued.
We've got something down in central
Illinois that you won't find anywhere
else. on the globe. It's telephone
clearinghouse. We call it a clear
n g-house right here in Chicago or in
New York. Now you'd think banks
couldn't clear their checks by tele-
phone, but, as 1 said before, we beat
the world for progress and have in
vented the new system.
"The whole scheme is very simple
and has proved a safeguard against
some Of the bugaboos that worry
bankers-such things as ~overdrafts,
for instance. Every day at noon n
bank will call, up another by tele-
phone, read off the amount Of the
checks and the m of the drawers.
Some of these checks will b. on the
bank at the other end of the wire and
some of them will be drawn on an in
stitution with which that bank has
considerable business.
Now, you see, half a dozen or more
banks in M county or section OF the
state a arrange a certain time for
calling up some one bank, which is
the central bank. All the banks call
this one, notifying it they have checks
on it or upon any of the others. e
When each bank has found out
how much it owes the other banks up
until a certain hour drafts are for
warded to owe the balances. By
using the telephone clearinghouse we
expedite business, saving an entire
day in many instances. It's a paying
scheme and is pretty nkely to be
adopted by other groups Of country
banks wherever the telephone is in
general use."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Love triumphant.

Helen's lips are drifting dust:
Ilion Is consumed with rust:
All the galleons of Greece
Drink the oceans dreamless peacs:
Lost was Solomon's purple show
Restless centuries ago;
Empires died and left no strain
Babylon, Barbary, and Spain
Only one thing. undefaced.
Lasts, though all the worlds lie waste.
And the heavens are overturned,
Dear, how long ago we learned!
There's a sight that blinds the sun,
Sound that lives when sounds are lone
Music that rebukes the birds
Language lovelier than words,
Hue n scent hat shame the rose,
Wine no earthly vineyard knows.
Ocean more divinely free
Than Pacifc's drainless sea,
Silence stiller than the shore
Swept by Charon's stealthy oar
Ye who live have learnt 1t true,
Dear, how long ago we knew!
