Among peasants of southern Italy,
Sicily and Sardinia curious malaay
has been noticed by physicians, which
is caused by eating beans. One OF the
most remarkable effects of the malady
is a species of intoxication resembling
that produced by alcoholic drink. In
some cases persons predisposed to the
malady are seized with the symptoms
of intoxication if they pass held
where the bean plant is in flower, the
odor alone suficing to affect them.

What The Planets Tell
Of Grover Cleveland

The predictions which 1 have al.
ready made show why l am bound to
arrive at this conclusion. In a word,
all the evidence obtainable tends to
show that the prosperous epoch
through which Mr.. Cleveland is now
passing will terminate about the mid
die of next year, and that it will be
followed by an unfortunate epoch,
which will last for several months.
During this latter epoch he will
neither be as ambitious, nor as pros
porous, nor as popular nor as happy,
as he is now. Consequently, if he re-
ceives the nomination and the fight
is to be won. it will be we'll for him
to abstain as much as possible from
taking any active part in the cam
paign and to leave all the work In the
hands of his managers.
His prestige and popularity being
so great, they may win the Battle for
him He certainly can not help them
to win it, and he may have reason to
regret it if he forgets that he is no
longer a young man and eXerts him
self oyermuchdurins The campaign.
Wisdom from the kabala.
In 1915, the year OF Napoleon's S
downfall, he was forty-siX years of
age, and forty-six added to 1915 is
equal to 1861, which again is equal
TO 1G, and the Babaliatic signification
Of this number is "manll catastIophes,
downfall and much danger Of ruin. .
On March Is, 1903 Mr.. Cleveland
was sixty-siX years Of age, and if we
ad &C to 1903, we obtain 1869. These
four numerals added together are
equal to %, and the Kabala says that
this number. which will be Mr.. Cleve-
lands symbol, so to speak, until his
next birthday, is always the portent
of success through contest, of power,
and high Office which will be obtained
friends and of prosperity, which will
be The fruit of an upright life and of
honest work"
The portent of 1904 is not quite so
favorable Mr.. Cleveland will then be
67 years Of ge,and 67, added to
1904, is equal to 1871, which again is
equal to eighteen. The Kabala says
that this number indicates hidden
perils, treachery and a false sense Of
security" and it adds that the only
way in which it is possible to escape
these threatened misfortunes is to be
constantly on ones guard.
Luckily, Mr. Cleveland is not
novice in politics, and, consequently,
it will be easy for him to follow this

Great Attraction Masks for
 Decorating Purposes

All day there has been lots of people looking in Keelar's iewelry store wiu- dow. The great attraction seemed to be some masks for decorative purposes. and some of them very fine. It is cer- tainly a curiosity to see the expressions of the different faces. The panuels Of ivory carvings are magnificent; uoJh- ing likei it ever brought here. Keelar is a great man to be always getting some thing new, and he always sells what he gets. You don't see any antiques OF old. shop-worn goods in his store. He keeps the ball a-rolling; never lets his goods get old and out of date. He makes the prices so people buy them Consequently, you always get the late and up-to-date goods at his store. If you are out to lose a few dollars on a watch or diamond, it would be well enough to see what you could do with Keelar. He has almost everything. Just take a look at those faces They are in Keelar's jewelry store window, opposite Case G Draper's, on Broadway.

Some Of the tories are trying to prove their right to be called such by questioning the patriotism of those who criticize the federal government because of the treatment Alaska has received at its hands. One would think from the observations of some of these monarchists, Alaska to be an imperial colony instead of a possession ofarepub- lie. The proper place for tories is on the other side of Boring sea in Siberia, where they could do homage to the czar. They seem to forget that the course of congress toward Alaska, and the conditions thatobtaiu in Che district have not had a more severe critic than President Roosevelt has been.
