BEER POURED INTO DRAINS.
cry Mt Manchester, England, IL
Destroyed to Escape Excise Tax,

The Manchester corporation recent
~ set up a municipal brewery. but the
beer is all poured into the drains.
The explanation is that the Man
chester school of technology decided
some time ago to have every trade of
the North of England practically
taught. AS there were some IA stu
dents DESTROYS of being initiated into
the mysteries Of brewing, the corpora
ton decided to establish a miniature
brewery. A complete model brewing
plant was consequently installed, and
visitors to-the school have the oppor-
tunity of seeing how the operation of
brewing is conducted, just as if they
were in Burton itself.
The authorities of Somerset House
pondered for months before they gave
their consent to the working of this
miniature brewery, but consented at
last on condition that the beer brewed
be destroyed. In order that no mis-
take may be made in this matter an
excise officer attends the school to
see that the liquor finds it's way into
the drains. w." r.

HAVE GOOD SEASON. |
Hunters in Ontario Province, Cam
ada, Kill Many Deer and Moose.
From Figures which Have Juss
Been Compiled. 1t Appears Dur-
Ing short Open Season Thou
sands of Animals Were Shot.

The deer hunting season in the prov
ince If Ontario, open from November
LIS, Us last year, probably, the best
on record. Reports have just been re.
ceived from the chief game warden of
the province of Ontario, which give the
following particulars: "
Nearly 10000 licenses and permits
were issued to hunters, and, as it is .
low estimate to credit each hunter
with one deer, it will be seen that at
least 10000 deer were killed in the first
two weeks Of November, 1902. In ad,
dition to these there were in the neigh
borhood of 100 moose killed. The
Canadian Express company alone car
ried 2,2S6 carcasses, that aggregated
24S.9o3 pounds, In addition to>which
the Dominion Express company car
ried 240 deer and 40 moose. f
Of course, these figures by no means
represent the number of deer killed, as
probably three-fourths Of the hunters
who were in the woods during the sea-
son convey their deer to their respect
i've homes by teams.
1ue ulslFletS from winch the great
est number of deer taken were the
Magnetewan river, Lake of the Bays
district and Muskoka lakes region.
The chief game warden also reports
that partridge and ducks have been
fairly plentiful, but quail have not
been as numerous in 1902 as in former
years, owing to the wet season.
From the number of deer that are
killed each year in this northern dis
trict, it would seem that they would
be exterminated in short time,. but
they are increasing each year, owing
to the government protection, and the
fact that in most of the districts the
heavy underbrush shields them to
great extent from the hunter.

WHITE WOMEN THEIR BRIDES.

Marriages Between Caucas-

appointment of a colored lawyer to Of

4 Mr.. McGlenon's report states that
there were IS miscenegous marriages
in Boston last year. In 1901 there we're
IS such unions, and the yearly average
for five years past is 30. In nearly
every case it was white bride, cnly
about one white man year marrying
negro woman. None of the cases were
among the better class, most of the
brides being domestics thrown in con-
tact with negroes through their en-
ployment. One bride, however, was a
widow and stenographer. .

Prof. Ferdinand Braun of Strasbu1g

burg Scientific society that he had dis
covered method Of producing electric
energy OF unlimited volume and pro-
jecting it into space, in the form OF
electric waves, to any distance. Prof.
Braun's new method secures greater

ROUND HOUSES A NEW FAD.
Architectural Oddities Which Have
Come to Prevail ON Scottish
Estates.

~Round houses" are the latest fad
In architecture in England. For cheap
ness, warmth and general utility. a
residence of the ''round-house" variety
is greatly to be preferred to the ordi.
nary regular structure.
Such house has been built for Mr..
Barber Starkey at Knock Shamrock,
in Scotland, to be used as shooting
lodge. In appearance it In by no means
ugly, is embellished with bay windows,
and covered porches, and is a most
comfortable dwelling.
Mr.. Starkey's house is two-storied,
and the center hall has a gallery
around it giving access to the bedroom!
The roof is conical, and is surrounded
by lantern which gives light to the.
hall. Kitchens, stables, ETC., are built
on the same plan.

Mrs Sophia Lovejoy Dickinson,
chairman Of the local science depart
ment Of the Denver Women's club,
threw bombshell intn club circles the
other day in a signed statement, Of
which the following extracts are the
most sensational:
GAS a class club women are con-
sentative. They closely follow race
Inheritance. What they feel is expect
cd Of them they do. The world ex-
poets them to be honest, therefore they
do not steal large amounts. The world
expects them to be vi,tuous, and some
are. Whether they are equally moral
may well be questioned. s...s B
Their idea Of truth is very often
feminine and their growing tendency
to kleptomania is alarming. They
are much like children in the way they
conduct business and assume RESPONSE
bility, and their sense of an obligation
is often very faulty. II the weaknesses
which we have enumerated are not
suppressed the entire club movement
will degenerate into social function"

LAZINESS 0 ERCOME.
Paris Physician Tells Of the Mar
vels Of Auto-Sugg estion.
DR.. Felix Regnault Suggests Treat
ment for Those Afflicted with %
Undesirable Tendencies OF
Mind and Body.

Dr. Felix Regnault, OF Paris, con-
tributes an article to the Forthcoming
number of La Revue on ply gym
nastics and the education of the will,
in which he deals with auto-suggestion,
and gives hints of the practice thereof.
He says it is necessary for success to
withdraw the mind from external
things and to avoid noise and CONVEX
sation, while such disturbing sensa-
tions as cold feet and headaches are
fatal to achieving complete control by
the WILL ~
According to DR.. Regnault, night is
the best time to engage IL auto-sug-
gestion, just when one is dropping off
to sleep. The first thing to do is to
think hard and engage in mental repe-
tition. Those endowed with strong
wills have obtained extraordinary re-
suits by this method, such as controll-
ing the muscles, moving the ears, and
quickening or stopping the beats of the
heart. The writer cites well-known
marvellous feats performed by Indian
fakirs, which, he claims, can be imi.
tated by Europeans through auto-sug-
gestion. 1t is possible when the will
is thus completely exercised to pierce
the flesh without pain and without
blood flowing, although when the will
is not paramount the same experiment.
er will suffer and bleed.
Similarly misanthropic persons may
become gay, the lazy may become
active, and the passionate may be-
come reasonable by education of the
will A simpler and easier method is
to repeat aloud mechanically the sug-
gestion you wish to obtain. Spoken
prayers are equally as efficacious, even
If pronounced without fervor, for they
penetrate by the ears and are i'm
printed on the brain. Some persons
are strongly impressed by visual i'm
ages. DR.. Regnault says he cured a
hypochondriac by advising him to
write upon the wall of his bedroom
every night with phosphorent powder
the words IT am gay" so that he would
fall asleep with them before his eyes.
He advises those fond of lying abed in
the morning to cure themselves by in
direct auto-suggestion. He says that
if a person will place an interesting
book by the bedside his eyes will hard
ly open before they will fall on it, and
he will commence to read. The person
will then be in full possession of his
will, and rising will be easy.

SAND SHOWER In MIDOCEAN.
Novel Phenomenon Witnessed by
Crew of British Ship Dunslow
or African Coast.


Officers Of the British ship Dunslow,
recently at Portland, Ore, report hav-
ing witnessed strange phenomenon
while the vessel was about 600 miles of
the African coast.
One bright, clear morning, when most
OF the ships company were on deck, a
light shower Of sand began to fall. It
was of a reddish brown color and in
creased in volume. Within half an hour
the air became SO laden with the sand
that it was difficult to distinguish OBJ
jects a ships length distant. The sand
was Of very light composition, much
OF it drifting on the air currents.
Some OF the sand was heavy and fell
upon the decks, and so great was the
downpour that the deck Of the ship was
soon covered about half an inch deep.

ED Y TEST rs THEORY d
The Kite Expert Declares Bell Has
Solved Airship Problem.
Experiments with AeropIane Similar
to One Used by the Telephone g$
5,E Man, and Finds. IT VIII 43s;
9 IA HI j55 Garry Weight. s

William "a. Eddy, the greatest kite
! flyer the world has known as he is
styled by experts in his line, sue
cessfully experime the other day
at his home in Bayonne, N. j., with an
aeroplane similar to the one with
which Alexander Grail ham Bell recently
made the discovery that led him to
announce the flying machine Of the
future would be of this type. Mr.. Ed
dy's experiment was in zorro boratlon
of Prof. Bells statement. that an aero
plane kite could be made. that would
carry the weight of motor and a
man, and thus solve the problem Of
aerial navigation.
AS a result Of his experiments Mr..
Eddy said the other night that Prof.
Bells discovery would revolutionize
flying machine inventions.
In order to obtain the free dismissal
of his weighted aeroplane, Mr.. Eddy
affixed in the, string attached to the
kite two metal rings and soaked the
cotton cord between them in solu-
ton of saltpeter. When lighted with
match this chemically treated string
between the rings burned, or rather
scorched, very slowly, permitting a
good height to be gained before burn
ing through and releasing the kite,
which then became flying machine en-
tlrely, without the guiding hand of
man. a.
Mr.. Eddy sent up his aeroplane twice,
the first time at II o'clock and tie
other at three. The aeroplane was
composed of cloth, and was nine feet
IN diameter and nine feet in length.
The crossbars were in the form Of q
cross. The machine weighs 2h
pounds. 1..1 =.
In the afternoon Mr.. Eddy affixed
cross-bar 1h feet in length and about
half an inch in diameter to the forward
end, and this gave the aeroplane the
required elasticity of motion and the.
requisite weight to make it almost sta.
tlonary at height of 300 fet when re.
leased. 1t descended in one minute and
landed at the spot whence it had been
released.
Mr.. Eddy said this added weight was
oil that was needed to prove the fea-
slblllty of the areoplane as the aying
machine of the future. =.
All that is needed to accom-, plisb
successfully the feat of aerial ma e;,a-
ZION is money" declared Mr.. Eddy. s.If
some wealthy man like J.. p. Morgan
would give the necessary funds there
is no doubt in my mind that expert
ments could be made that would lead
very soon to the building of practical
nylng machine thatwould carry people
through the air safely, and that could
be driven as well against the wind as
with it," =

INTRIGUE FOR AN ESTATE.
Polish Countess Charged " It'll SUBJ
stitutlns Child which she Nj
CIaims ms Her own.

A sensation has been caused among
the Polish and German nobility by the
arrest OF Countess lisa bella Weisierska
Kwileski, wife Of a great Polish mag
nate, on the charge Of substituting a
child as her own for the purpose OF
securing for her family an estate Of
$4,000 acres. 4 ;g,
The story reads like an oldfashioned
romance. The incidents were first
made public in 1896, when the countess
claimed that she had borne q male
child. She was then. SO years old, and
had not borne child for II years. The
remarkable, though not impossible,
occurrence excited the suspicion Of
Count Mirjislaw Kwileski, member
of the upper house Of the Prussian
diet, and the head of collateral
branch of the family, which, in the
event of the countess and her husband
dying without son, would have in
herited the estate. ;s :t &
When the child was four years old
Count Mirjislaw thought he had OBJ
tanned sufficient evidence to prove the
substitution. He brought civil ac-
ton to set aside the boys rights. and
lost the case. This was two years ago.
He continued to gather evidence,
which is now abundant enough to have
induced the police to arrest the coun-
tess, the charge against her being sub
stitution for the sake of gain, to which
a penalty of ten years penal servi-
tude attaches. The trial will take
place in Berlin. Two hundred wit
nesses have been subpoenaed.
Both branches of the family have
many friends in exalted circles, and
the case has caused great excitement
among them, a'
