proceedings against Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick. after which the hearing was
continued until tomorrow. when Receiv-
er Nathan LOcser hopes to have the
woman present. Mrs. ChadWick's ap-
pearance will depend on her physical
condition. Several physicians will make

From several admissions made Receiv-
er Loeser will, however, continue his
inquiry. with the hope of locating the
property.
When J. L. Crossman. counsel for the
creditors. was through questioning the
witnesses, he and Attorney Dawley had
an informal conference concerning Mrs
CNadWick'S appearance before the refe-
rec. Attorney Crossman insisted that
Mrs. Chadwick should he brought into
court as soon as possible.
Attorney Dawley then. addressing the
court, questioned the right to subpoena
Mrs. Chadwick and have her testify.
To bring her into court, in her present
condition, would be nothing short of
inhumanity, he declared.
Grossman said he did not want to
cause Mrs. Chadwick any unnecessary
| embarrassment, but he had been adj
vised by physicians she was in condi-
ion to testify.
Referee Remington then suggested
that the physicians visit Mrs. Chad
wick, tomorrow. and he will announce
his decision concerning her appearance

DR.. Wall, the Jail physician, said, to-
day. that Mrs. Chadwick was in better
condition than she has been for several
| days. She was somewhat weak. this;

ternoon.

Ancestral Breakfasts.

According to the Oxford Dictionary
1863 is the date of the earliest mentloll
of breakfast, but until a century ago. IL
consisted of a draught of ale or tea OF
chocolate. There were only two meals
p day-dinner. ranging from O'Clock
in the morning in the fifteenth century
to noon in the seventeenth, and supper
which similarly advanced from
o'clock in the afternoon to Z O'Clock.
PeDys. for instance, went down TO the
admiralty at or 5 o'clock i'll the morn
ing on no other breakfast than half
mint of wine or a dram Of cordial. But
in the eighteenth century dinner was
gradually postponed until or O'CLOCK
in the afternoon. When it passed mid
dav breakfast became necessity and
a meal. Before this hunger had de-
manded the addition of bread and some
such relish as radishes to the morning
draught
But when, hundred years ago, cold
meats and fish began to be served at
breakfast the utmost surprise was ex-
pressed. Its novelty made it fashions
BILE and led to the giving of breakfast
parties. of which Mr.. Gladstone's were
the last. Eleven or IL o'clock was the
hour, and it was declared to be par ex-

Little Japan"

There is one illusion about Japan which
seems to survive evidence and to work
most serious political mischief. The con-
tinental powers. and Russia more es-
pecially, cannot get rid of the belief that
the island empire however brave or as
the or lucky its children may be. is. after
all. but little state. which in a very
short time must bleed to death"
1t is not very easy to trace the origin
of tins belief. unless 1t be the habit of
expecting great size in all Asiatic en-
pres, or OF comparing the area cf Japan
with that of Russia Itself So compared,
Japan is, of course, little place. which
looks on the map almost Insignificant
Compared. however, in a more sensible
way. with the other island empire which
has so long been one of the great poWers
Of the world, Japan is by no means small.
Its total area. without counting Fomosa,
is by ZOO square miles greater than
that of the British Isles. and as large a
proportion Of it is fertile and thickly
populated. That population. again, is

ASTONISHING RESULTS.

Follow Each New Discovery of Science.
The great strides that medical science
has made in the last few years is due
to the germ theory. When the germ
of a disease has been discovered, the
doctors have not been slow in finding
a drug to kill it. In a few years, it
will be rare to find a bald-headed man
or woman. The falling out of hair is
due to dandruff germ, and now it
has been discovered how to kill this
germ. The remedy used is called New
bros Herpicide. It's success has been
marvellous. Not failure has been so
far reported. It is also a delightful
hair dressing free from oil or sticky
substances. Try it and be convinced
of its actual merit. Sold by leading
