Better Avoid This.

To get all sorts OF health fads on
the brain is a disease. in itself. It is
a very prevalent disease, too. With a
few foolish rules to observe, a whole
lot of hygienic quirks TO adjust to and
a schedule Of superstitiOus sanitary
notions diligently followed by day and
dreamed of by night, is a malady
which begins as a mental deranse-
ment and ends in a complete physical
izzle. No room left for a spOntane-
Gus life. no place for free. joyous lib
erty. Not a minutes space for roll
licking disregard. Everything fixed
every minute disposed OF, intrOspec-
tions without number FOrebOdings,
misgivings. lowering vaguely about
the mind, like hOcks OF carriOn crows.
Such a life is not worth living One
might a thousand times better go pack
TO the reckless regime Of a rough
rider.-ChicagO News

1T IMPRESSED The JURY.

Eloquent Lawyer.

Eloquent Lawyer.
Il was a characteristic OF a certain
Tennessee colonel that when once his
Oratory had begun TO flow before the
jury nothing could stop it till the
fOunt was exhausted On one Occa-
sion he had Just finished tearing his
opponents argument 10 tatters when
the court room stOvepipe fell with q
crash.
There" cried the colonel, as the
clouds Of SCOT arose. there is a sim
lie furnished by nature herself Just
as that stOvepipe has come unjOinted
and fallen useless to the ground, SC
my adversary's argument has fallen
with as loud a crash One is not
more hollow than the other, or more
in need of polish.
And, gentlemen Of the jury. what
do these clouds Of SCOT and smoke
resemble-those black masses smut
ting all they light UpOn-what do they
resemble more than the malicious IL
bells and black scandals which my
adversary has poured into your ears
and with which he has endeayOred &c
blacken the character Of my client?'
His case had seemed hopeless. but
when he had finished the stOvepipe
comparison the jury was converted.
and returned what became famous in
Western Tennessee as the stove
pipe verdict in favor Of the cOlOneTs
cIient-MOntreaI Herald.

Experts who have been over the
field of fire ruin in Baltimore find the
great steel and tile buildings practi-
cally intact, requiring only a minimum
of expenditures for repairs upon the
structural parts.
Floor arches, main partitions and
tile floors remain in rooms where the
heat fused typewriting machines into
molten masses. Ornamental marble
work, wooden floor strips. glass and
various fixtures have all disappeared,
but the gigantic steel framewOrks
stand.
It is the opinion Of the best experts
that if these tall buildings were fitted
with iron shutters and metal window
frames and equipped. as many in other
cities are, with water standDipes, they
would not only be well-nigh invulner-
able themselves, but would prove in
valuable obstacles to the spread OF
fires.

A CHASTITY tale OF heather supersti-

criminal session Of the supreme court
OF Georgetown, British Guiana, when
the chief priest and medicine man"
Of the Wapishana tribe OF Carib Indi-
ans was charged with instigating the
murder Of an Indian woman named
KaliWa, who was in iH-health- The
priest who was consulted, recon-
mended that she should be stung with
ants ana marabuntas- This was duly
carried out But Kaliwa continued
TO pine away, and the priest was again
consulted, with the result that he said
she had been possessed of an evil
spirit in the shape OF a camodiO
snake, and that the only means Of
disDOssessing her was by burning her
alive The woman was thereupOn
sIung in a hammock and placed over
pyre. which the husband Of the woman
lit When examined in court .Taruma
said he loved Kaliwa. but unless he
had done what the priest told him he
would have been afflicted with the
same .malady, and so would all the
village. The jury returned a verdict
Of guilty, with a strong recommends
ton to mercy. and the priest was sen
fenced to death. Immediately after
ward, however, the governor granted q
reprieve.
