FINE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

Milwaukee Cor. Chicago Chronicle.
Indians of the Chippewa tribe up
North have discovered the elixir of
life, according to Graham L. Rice of
Madison, former railroad commissions
er, who has just returned from a trip
through the Superior region.
What l tell you is true, every word
OF it," he insisted. Il can prove it
because l saw the Indians You know
the Chippewas have their dances ev-
cry year and trot around in a circle for
two or three weeks at a time, crouch
ing and muttering and going through
fantastic performances. They enjoy it
hugely, but if they can get hold of
little whisky they like it better still
1t is hard to get howevr, owing to
the watchfulness of the federal Off
Gals, and they had a comparatively
dull time of it this year until few
days ago, when they actually discov-
cred fountain of booze flowing right
out of the rocks up there on Lake SUI
perior. 1t is some sort of a mineral
spring, the water of which has an in
toxicating effect on the red men, and
they have been imbibing freely, and
the dance is likely to go on now until
the snow falls. The marshals and
deputies are disheartened. They have
no right to prevent the Indians from
drinking spring water but this foun-
tain, which is up near Cranberry river,
is almost like alcohol, and the effect
is just the same as whisky. 1 saw the
Indians drinking it, and it certainly
made them drunk"

AN ANTI-FAT SERUM.

From the Philadelphia Record
Experiments made by a French
Psychologist, M. Ramona, on guinea
pigs, seem to him to indicate the pos
sibillty of a serum whose injection
shall enable fat people to absorb their
own superabundant adipose tissue.
After injecting olive oil into the
peritoneum of guinea pigs, he found
that the operation, on repetition, fin
ally determined a rapid absorption. He
then showed that the injection of Sc
rum from a guinea pig thus treated
gave, to second animal the power OF
absorbing injected olive oil very rap
idly. The reaction seems to depend
on the oil employed, so that II can be
easily told whether or not IL was olive
oil. The experimenter thinks Il posi-
BILE, by injecting into a fat man a Sc
rum obtained from an animal into
which human fat had been previously
Injected, to make the subject grow
thin to some degree. But fat people
need not hope for too much. says a
writer in Cosmos. They have not yet
been experimental on, and though this
process may have made guinea pigs
lean II may not do the same thing for
human beings. Besides, Il seems
scarcely probable that the reaction
would be the same with the actual
bodily fat as with drops OF emulsion
injected into the circulation from
without.

Judge Alfred Conkling Coke, of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals,
was telling the Cornell Law School
students the other day of an upstate
judge who came to sit in New York.
He reached the courtroom at $3.50. says
the New York Times. No one was
there and he sat down to wait. At
9:3O IN came young man. He began
talking to the judge, not knowing who
he was. and told of a case of his that
was on for that morning. 81 don't
know the first thing about the case,'
con1ided the young man, but there s
an old duffer from Podunk coming to
hold court, and I'll tell him my part
ner is sick or that there's a witness
from Jersey we can't get here, or
something of that sort. It'll be easy
enough"
Some time later, much to the young
mans establishment, the "old duffer''
assembled the bench. Several cases
We're called and several lawyers gave
the same excuses for not being ready
that he had said he might give.
His own case was called. Ready
said the opposing attorney. He look
ed UP at the judge, and the judge
spoke. Young man." he said, what
ever we do with these other cases,
We'll grant you an adjournment if you
want it. The court learned a whole

George Grey Barnard, the sculptor
is hard at work in France, in the town
of Moret, upon his decorations for the
state Capitol at Harrisburg, Pa, says
the New York Tribune.
An American visited Mr.. Barnard's
studio in September, and, while he was
watching the sculptor modelling, a
strange looking figure reeled. past the
Window long haired man in a vel
vet coat.
THAT is the town drunkard." said
Mr.. Barnard. HE is a person of tai

little, and has composed four popular
SONGS.
Sometimes he says the pleasantest,
brightest things. One evening, for in
stance, he was staggering homeward,
after an afternoon at the cafe, when
the town marshal met him.
See here, Casimir,' the marshal
said, why don't you stop drinking-if
not for your own sake. then for the
sake of your two boys? Your exam
pie to those little fellows is pernicious.
1t will ruin their career

his hand deprecatingly.

What is that?' said the marshal.

TOO MOST CURIOUS LAKES.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
In central Asia, near the Caspian sea,
is a lake of beautiful rose color, while
the banks are covered with salt crys-
tails as white as snow. From the wat
ers of this lake there arises a flower
like odor. The color and the odor are
supposed to be caused by vegetable
matter in the depths.
One of the most singular lakes in
the world is the celebrated Pitch lake
of the island of Trinidad. This lake
spreads over an area of ninety-nine
acres and it's surface is composed of
one great floating mass of asphaltuIn,
scanned with veins of clear water.
There is a similar lake in Venezuela.
The Pitch lake is a hideous place as
far as smells are concerned, for the
air all about it is heavy with noxious
vapors, and from the center of the
lake gushes a fountain of liquid asphalt
tum, in which there float and break
bubbles containing most horrible gases.
The workmen go out on the surface
of this lake and cut slabs of asphaltum,
which are carried away. But the next
morning the hole they left is filled up
again with the pitch which has risen
during the night, so that the supply
seems to be inexhaustible.
This curious lake was discovered by
Sir Walter Raleigh when he landed In
Trinidad in 1895 on his way to the
mouth of the Orinoco in search of Ell
Dorado

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia (Pa.) Record
(Dem.) says: There is something sin
ister and menacing in the policy of 81
renee which the Republican leaders
nave imposed upon their presidential
candidate. The campaign has so
shaped itself that an authoritative
disclosure of the relation between the
republican candidates and the trusts
that have been rallied to their sun
port cannot be in honor withheld.
What was the inducement that sud
denly converted outspoken enemies in
to confidential friends?"
The Pittsburg CPa) Post (Dem)
says: The administration carries on
the business of extracting stump
speeches from its Office holders in the
colonies, who constitute a big part of
American Imperialism, in response TO
the well-tempered and prudent obser-
vations Of Judge Parker. It provokes
the remark, What right has Roosevelt
to run a telegraph line around the
world at the expense Of the taxpay-
ers to meet legitimate criticisms on his
public acts at home? II Is something
unusual in the conduct of American
politics. The President telegraphs a
long extract from Judge Parker's
speech to one Of his sub iceroys>at the
Philippines, and his response is pre-
cisely what might be expected from a
well-paid officeholder sure of advance
ment and waiting on preferment."
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem) SAYS:
we hear constantly more about the
infamy of saying things likely to in
terfere with the governments plans.
or likely to give the government
trouble In some of its imperialistic
undertakings. The talk takes on more
and more the sound OF what is usual
In nations governed by the monarchial
system, where the people and the
government are separate and distinct. "
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.). In speak
ing OF Judge Parker's speech, says:
His Republican friends have been
kept busy explaining that his speeches

HOW 1T REACHES HOME.

The average reader is not greatly i'm
pressed when he is told how the tariff
affects steel billets or blooms, or
structural shapes. Those are abstract
and intangible terms to him. He knows
they mean something. but just what he
cannot say. But when the average
reader, man or woman. is told that
the breakfast batch of biscuits cost 50
per cent. more than they did two years
ago, then we have a concrete PROPOSE
ton that reaches home. And that is
precisely the condition of affairs to-
day.
AT the beginning Of November, 1902,
the wholesale price of flour was about
"a per barrel; now the price is $40 per
barrel. The millers and Republican
| leaders say this increase is due to the
fact that there has been a shortage in
the American wheat crop suitable for
milling into the standard grade Of
family flour. So far as It goes, that
is true; but it doesn't go far enough
Taking advantage of the natural short
age, Chicago grain spectators have
sent wheat and flour prices soaring.
They were enabled to do this by rea-
son of the existence of a tariff which
shuts out importations of Canadian or
other wheat to meet a possible short
age in the American supply. There
was raised the greatest abundance in
Canada Of the very grade of wheat
that makes standard family flour. Had
American millers been permitted to
import this wheat, the Chicago spec
ulators would not have been able to
manipulate prices and every Ameri-
can family's breakfast, dinner and
supper table would not have been lev
led on for tribute. The tariff, there
fore, operates to make the Americans
daily bread cost him more money.
But, oddly and unjustly enough, the
tariff in this instance. as in others,
operates to the benefit of the foreign
consumer, who can buy American
milled -four much cheaper than is pos
sible to the American citizen. For in
stance, the Minneapolis -four miller is
permitted to import Canadian wheat in
bond, to be manufactured into flour
for export He pays the government a
duty of rs cents a bushel on the wheat.
If he sells the flour in Canada or
other foreign country, he gets re-
bate of about "a cents on the bushel;
but If he sells it in the United States,
the whole tax standsi The tax Thus
is added to the cost of the American
peoples food, and the foreigner gets
his bread from our mills cheaper than
we can.
Is there another country in the world
that would submit to such manifest
injustice? Three-quarters of CEN
fury ago England was in a ferment
because of the corn laws: but the
champions of those laws never pro-
posed anything as indefensible as our
wheat tariff

FEAR ron EGYPT's TREASURES.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
London, Oct. PA British bluebook,
dealing with the irrigation problem and
other matters has revived the fears
of psychologists concerning the safe
ty of some of the most notable ancient
monuments in Egypt.
1t appears, from dispatch of Lord
Cromer, that the first new work in
connection with future irrigation of
Egypt is almost sure to be the highten-
ing of the dam at Assuan. When this
is effected the river level of. water
stored at the reservoir will be liz met
ers, or six meters higher than the
present level, and further submersion
of the temples on the Island of Philae
will ensue. Sir William Garstin, in
another. report, points out that this
will destroy much of their pictures
queness and will impair much of the
beauty of the present landscape, es-
pecially at a time when tourists and
others visit Assuan.
lie also alludeS to the damage,
through the action of deleterious salts,
to the lower parts-the stone walls and
columns of the temples; but does not
allude TO the damage likely to occur
through submersion of their upper
parts, the great blocks of stone work
81
Neither Lord Cromer nor Sir William
Garstin refers to the almost inevitable
damage which must occur to the SPLEEN
did temple thirty miles south of As
suan, at Kalabsheh. This is a stone
temple of the Roman period, built upon
a brick base, which will be submer-
ged, and is likely to decay quickly,
involving the fall and ruin of the stone
superstructure. The temple at OAK
ken is twenty-five miles or so south
or kalabsheh, and it's massive tow
ers are in finer preservation than any
others in Egypt. With the raising of
the dam, however, this monument will
also be submerged and more rapid
ly ruined than the temple at Kalabsheh.
These and other considerations are to
be submitted at once to the Egyptian
authorities, but the necessities of the
country are pretty certain, in the end,
to outweigh all historical and artistic
sentiment
