The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-08-26

Residents Of q certain block which
boasts a long sustained responsibility
were astonished recently to see the
basement Of a brownstone house con-
verted into a blacksmith shop. The
block beheld with. dismay, which grew
when 1t saw the bold signs which
ihe proprietor put upon his walls. Pres
unity a tailor's shop was opened on the
block. This was the Anal stroke.
Property began to exchange owners,
and furniture vans were busy for
time. Then the blacksmith shop and
the tailors store suddenly vanished.
What had happened? Nothing more
than that some designing real estate
dealers had attained their ends. They
had bought a few houses and had pur-
posely set about depreciating the value
Of the adjoining property so. that they
could get 1t at bargain rates. The black
smith and the tailor were allured by
the bait of cheap rents in the houses
which the dealers had bought, and per-
haps there was a secret understanding
by which the newcomers in business
were to make themselves as obnoxious
as possible to the resldents.-New York

1t Is Good to Laugh.

Health, an English publication, says:
1T is good to laugh. There Is prob
ably not the remotest corner or little
inlet Of the minute blood vessels of
the body that does not feel some wave
let from the great CONFUSION produced
by hearty laughter shaking the central
man. The blood moves more rapidly.
Probably its chemical, electric or vital
condition is distinctly modified. 1t con.
veys a different impression to all the
organs Of the body as it visits them
on that particular mystic journey when
the man is laughing from what it does
at other times. The time may come
when physicians shall prescribe to q
torpid patient SO many peals Of laugh.

NICHOLAS !. OF RUSSIA.
He Was n Great Man Who Was Scared
Out of Greatness.

Nicholas L. of Russia was q great
man scared out of greatness by the
ever recurring specter of the French
revolution. There had been much to
make him a stern reactionary. He
could not but remember that two czars,
his father and grandfather, had both
been murdered In obedience to family
necessities. At his proclamation as
emperor he had been welcomed by a
revolt which had forced him ito wade
through slaughter to a throne"-a re-
volt which had deluged the great pa
rade ground of st. Petersburg with the
blood Of his best soldiers, which had
sent many Of the nobility to Siberia
and which had obliged him to see the
bodies Of several men who might have
made his reign illustrious dangling
from the fortress walls opposite the
Winter palace. He had been obliged to
grapple with fearful instruction in
Poland, caused partly by the brutality
of his satraps, but mainly by religious
hatreds, to suppress 1t with enormous
carnage and to substitute a cruel des-
potism for the moderate constitutional
liberty which his brother had granted.
He had thus become the fanatical apos-
tie Of reaction throughout Europe and
as such was everywhere the implacable
enemy of any evolution of liberty. The
despots Of Europe adored him. As
symbols Of his ideals he had given to
the king of Prussia and to the Neapoli-
tan Bourbon copies Of two Of the stat
ues which adorned his Nevsky bridge
statues representing FESTIVE horses re-
strained by strong men-and the Ber-
lin populace with unerring instinct had
given to one of these the name of
Progress Checked" and to the other
the name "Retrogression Encouraged"
To this day one sees everywhere In the
palaces of continental rulers, whether
great or petty, his columns Of Siberian
porphyry, bowls of jasper or vases Of
malachite, signs Of his approval Of re-
action. But in justice to him 1t should
be said that there was one crime he did
not commit-a crime, indeed, which he
did not dare commit He did not vio-
late his oath to maintain the liberties
Of Finland.-Andrew d. White in Gen.

London Doctors, Fees.

Discussion by London newspapers Of
doctors fees has brought to light some
curious information. II know man."
one doctor is quoted as saying, "who
has a guinea practice in Harley street,
a five shilling practice In Kensington
and a sixpenny practice in Seven
Dials."
In Clapton, poor quarter of London,
fees Of twopence a cents are said to
be not unknown. One newspaper re-
marks: "Of the twopence fee it might
be said that it brings sickness within
the reach Of all. In Clapton, at any
rate, there is no excuse or justification
for any one being WELL"
This same newspaper says, "Now
that flats are so fashionable the doc
tors difficulty in guessing the paying
ability Of his patient is enormously in
creased, flats being alike the refuge Of
the wealthy and the INDECENT"

THE AGING PROCESS.
A Medical Suggestion ms to How 1t
May he Arrested.


To drink the waters OF the fountain
Of youth Is still, in the opinion of
some, within the range of possibility.
A recent writer observes that man be-
gan In gelatinous condition and ends
In an osseous or bony one. He is soft
IN infancy; he is hard in old age Aging
Is process Of Justification. After mid
die life has passed a more marked de-
velopment of the ossiflc character
takes place. The arteries become thick
ened with calcareous matter and there
Is interference with circulation, upon
which nutrition depends. The whole
change from youth to old age is one of
steady accumulation of calcareous de-
posits In the system. Entire blockade
Of the functions of the body is q mere
matter Of time, and the refuse matter
deposited by the blood through the sys-
tenn stops the delicate machinery we
call life. The blood contains COM
pounds Of lime, magnesia and iron. In
the blood itself are these earthly salts.
In early life they are thrown off; in
age they are not. Almost everything
we eat contains these elements for de-
stroying life. Earthy salts abound in
the cereals, and bread itself, mistaken
ly called "the staff Of life," Is one of
the most calcareous of edibles. Nitrog-
enous food also contains these ele-
ments; hence diet made up Of fruit is
best for people advanced in years. The
daily use of distilled water is, after
middle life, one of the most important
means Of preventing secretions and de-
rangements of health. Diluted phos-
phoric acid is one Of the most power
full influences known to science for
shielding the human system from the
Inconvenience Of old age. Use 1t daily
with distilled water and so retard the
approach Of senility. To retain per-
petual youth, avoid all foods rich in
the earth's salts, use much fruit, espe-
cially juicy, uncooked apples, and take
daily two or three tumblerfuls Of dis
titled water with about fifteen drops
Of diluted phosphoric acid in each glass
full. Thus will your days be longer in
the land.-Medical Age.

WEDDINGS IN WALES.
| Quaint Customs That Still Exist
Among the Peasantry.


Among the Peasantry.
Some quaint customs still survive
among the peasantry Of south Wales
at least in the remote villages. One Of
the oldest Is the bidding" When q
young man and woman are engaged
circular is printed, known as IBID
ding letter." and distributed at market
and outside the chapels on Sunday so
that all may know of the event. The
form Is always the same and runs as
follows:
AS we intend to enter the matrimonial
state we are encouraged by our friends
to make q bidding on the occasion at the
young mans fathers house (here follow
the address and date of the entertain-
menD, when and where the favor Of your
bly, solicited, and whatever donation you
may be pleased to bestow on us will be
thankfully received. warmly acknowledge
ed and cheerfully repaid whenever called
for on a similar occasion by your obedient
servants, JOHN EVANS.
JANE DAVIS.
All being ready on the day, a party
goes to fetch the bride to the bidding.
She hides and has to be sought for in
all directions, but being at last found
Is escorted In triumph. Her procession
is met by that Of the bridegroom, and
they all repair to the church, where
the wedding ceremony takes place,
after which nll return to the groom's
house to make merry and to count the
gifts. These are generally In money
and vary from a shilling up to half a
sovereign.
Each item is carefully entered in a
book by the bidding clerk" together
with the donors name, so that 1t may
be repaid when he or she marries. As
all the money will probably not be
called in for many years-some not at
all, If the givers remain single-the
young couple receive a tolerable start
In life. Oddly enough, the bridegroom
is expected to provide the kitchen clock
and table, the glass cupboard and the
kitchen dresser, also the bedstead. Each
OF the young people is supposed to
bring half dozen chairs, the brides
especial contribution being the bed
ding, the crockery ware, the parlor
table and a chest Of drawers. Things
! are done methodically in that part of
| the world.-London Tit-Bits..

The Real Unicorn.

Early in the last century the unicorn
of ancient myth came within the realm
Of scientific knowledge in the form Of
the white rhinoceros, the largest, next
to the elephant, Of modern quadrupeds.
For long years the uniforms only
known habitat was on coat of arms.
Ancient writers who had told Of it
were discredited until a one horned
rhinoceros, found by Marco Polo in
Sumatra, received this name. And
early in the last century Burchell also
discovered in South Africa, between
the Orange and Zambezi rivers, the
huge white pachyderm. 1t had, in
truth, two horns, but one was so small
as to be scarcely perceptible, while the
other, tufted with bristles at the base,
was so many as four feet long, curving
and tapering to hard, sharp point.

Grewsome wedding Presents.

Among the Iloongotes, tribe Of saw
ages in the interior Of Luzon, according
to A. Henry Savage Lander, "the we'd
ding present given by the prospective
groom to his sweetheart does not lack
quaintness and consists of human
head, part of a breast and heart as
we'll as finger or two. Unless a man
can produce these gifts he has to re-
main q bachelor, but these gifts are in
variably procured. The inclined to
we'd lies in wait in the high grass until
an unsuspecting man, woman or child
happens to go by, who few minutes
later is left dead upon the trail minus
the anatomical portions enumerated

ARecreation Mad Generation.

We live in generation that has gone
recreation mad. Outdoor sports and
indoor sports fill up our leisure mo-
ments, in some cases all our moments.
Athletics, golf, tennis, games Of all
manners, and lacking manners, rise,
flourish and decay. The race horse, the
bicycle and the automobile pursue each
other across the stage Of action. We
play at being intellectual, we play at
being religious, we play at being
tough" and all three are merged and
included in being men and women "of
the world" The instrument Of an oc-
casional hilarity has an unfortunate
tendency to develop into the minister
to quenchless thirst.-Mrs. Martha
Baker Dunn in Atlantic.

This was Latinized into Pict. So, too,

NIGHT ATTACK AT SEA.
Boarding n Hostile Ship From a
Fleet of Small Boats.

Boarding Hostile Ship From n
Fleet of Small Boats.
Imagine a hostile ship lying at an
Choir in an apparently secure position
on dark and cloudy night. There are
just enough breeze and sea to make
sounds on the water indistinct Around
q low headland half mile away from
the anchored vessel steal four or five
boats, pulled with muffled oars and fill
ed with armed men. They approach
noiselessly.
Perhaps they are not discovered and
thus reach the sides Of the ship. The
next instant the armed men are pour
ing over her bulwarks, and a desperate
fight takes place on her decks. Per-
haps they are discovered before they
reach the vessels side. The alarm Is
given. The men in the boats hear it
and lash their oars through the water
IN determined effort to reach the ship
before the rapid fire guns can open up
on them. Flashes Of fire illumine the
night. The searchlights send out shafts
Of binding white. The sharp peals of
the six and three Founders, the rapid
hoarse barking Of Hotchkiss revolving
cannon, the vicious sputter Of Cuttings,
break upon the frightened air. "Give
way with a willv' shout the officers Of
the boats as the men bend to the oars
and the light guns in the bows hurl
their defiant answers back at the wall
sided ship. AS the boats sweep up to
the vessels side gongs clang and rat
ties sound calling away the riflemen to
repel boarders from the boats. If the
boats crews can board the ship and
clap down her matches before the crew
gets on deck, theirs is the victory, but
If her secondary battery is manned and
her riflemen stationed before the boats
are alongside, then goodby to the boat
expedition, for there is nothing more
pitiless than Cuttings and revolving
cannon.-W. ]. Henderson in st. Mich

"The Highroad" is the title of a new novel to be issued by Messrs. Herbert IS. Stone and Company, Chicago, by the middle of April. It is published anony- mously, but it's subtitle, The Autobio- graphy of an Ambitious Mother" ex- plains in measure its scope. It is said to be a study of the worldly American widow-the woman of the small town who in adapting herself adroitly to her environment gradually rises above it. She has too much tact to be fiashy, and too much cleverness to be brilliant, but she knows how to get what she wants.
 MT. Arnold Daly's performance of Candida and "The Man of Destiny v in New York, has awakened new in- terest in Bernard Shaw and his plays. Messrs. Herbert s. Stone and Company announce that they have had difficulty in filling orders.
 "The Worlds Painters" by James William Pattison, will be issued during the month by Messrs. Herbert s. Stone and Company. It has been delayed by difficulty of securing just the right il- lustrations The book carries it's narra- tive down to the present day For this reason it will he especially valuable as few books of the kind touch contempo- rary painters.

fly engaged in editing and preparing for the press the Memoirs of Senator John Fl. Reagan" the only surviving member Of the Confederate cabinet
 Marie Coreili has nearly completed a new novel. which Dodd. Mead and Con- pany will issue in this country In it, we are told, she reVerts to her earlier manner (the manner of '-Thelma..). and temporarily forsakes the problem story. There can be no question but that her last two books have been problem sto- ries: and many of her admirers will be glad to hear of the reversion to her for mer manner.
 Dodd. Mead and Company will bring out shortly a curious book. entitled When a Maid Marries. This book, we understand, the result of certain arti- cles which have been running serially in Golfers Weekly. The author is La vinia Hart. In it she has tried to set forth some ofthe problems which con- front the young woman of to-day who is contemplating matrimony. Curiously enough, these articles in Collier were voted every month by it's readers to be far and away the most popular features of Golfers" monthly num- bers: and they so remained as long as they continued in the magazine.
 Lucas Malet's new novel, on which she has been so long at work lever since the publication of Sir Richard Calmady'). is announced by Dodd, Mead and Company for publication this fall Its title will be "The Paradise of Dominic"
 While Mrs. Harrison has given out no exact intinations of the contents of her story, it is generally understood that the novel will deal with modern English so- ciety; more especially the intrusion into it of certain rich and vulgar people; so that the suspicion is gaining ground that the story will challenge comparison, in plot at least, with Frank Danby' $ Pigs in Clover and Ouida's 'Massa- renes." "Calnady,' that sinister but powerful last novel of hers is. we learn, still selling in this country; and its vogue in England. although dimmed, is not extinguished.
