Insane Man on High Dome.
Liberty. Mo. Telegram to the New Tor Sun.

Liberty, Mo-. Telegram to the New York
 Sun.
 Alonzo Haggard an insane man, es- capped from his guards In the courthouse here this morning at 7:30 o'clock and climbed up on the high dome of the court house. As he had been very vio- lent. the officers were afraid to try to overpower him there, and he was left alone
 Crowds watched him from the streets. He kept on moving about at first, and at times the spectators held their breath in expectation of seeing him slip. Then he lay down on flat space eighteen inches wide. as if going to sleep. forty feet above the roof of the court house. flag gard then climbed the lightning rod to the top of the statue of the Goddess of Justice, on the dome, 150 feet from the ground, and sat composedly on the god dess' shoulder. At 2 o'clock this after noon he was still on the statues shoul- der, playing with the weather vane
 Haggard was decoyed down to the roof and captured at $40 o'clock this after noon by Sheriff Wymore. He was in- duced to come dowrr by his sister, who was sent from the attic by trap door in the roof.

The Sources of Japanese VIgor.
rom the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
 The Japanese are allowed to be among the very strongest people on earth. They are strong mentally and physically, and yet practically they eat no meat at all The diet which enables them to develop such hardy frames and such well balan- ced and keen brains consists almost wholly of rice. steamed or boiled, while the better to do add to this Spartan fare fish, eggs, vegetables and fruit. For beverages they use weak tea without su- gar or milk, and pure water, alcoholic stimulants being rarely indulged in. Wa ter is imbibed in what we should con- slider prodigious auantlties-by an Eng lishman. indeed the drinking of so much water would be regarded as madness The average Japanese individual swsl- lows about a gallon daily in divided doses
 The Japanese recognize the beneficial effect of flushing the system through the medium of tine kidneys. and they also cleanse the exterior of their bodies to an entent undreamed of in Europe or in America.
 Another-and perhays this s the usage on which the Japanese lay the greatest stress-is that deep. habitual, forcible inhalation of fresh air is as essential for the acquisition of strength and this meth cd Is sedulously practiced until 1t becomes a part of their nature.

SPICE OF MARRIED LIFE.
Lillian Russell Writes a Book of
 Human Interest.

From the New York Morning Telegraph.
 According to Lillian Russell, who has had sufficient matrimonial experience to write a book on Married Life as I Have Found It., the little spats that occur now and then between husband and wife are like the salad which belongs to a good dinner. Without the salad the meal would be flat, and so married life Is a flat, hum- drum affair unless some little squall arises occasionally.
 The case under discussion was that of a Kansas City woman who had obtained a divorce because her husband was so devoted to her that he never opposed her in the slightest degree. Evefything tlhe asked foE she got, and she Asserted even if she went so far as to tell her husband there was a bunion on ths end of his nose, she believed he would agree with her and send for a chiropodist to have 1t removed.
 Life" says Miss Russell, gets to be tiresome, indeed, when one can't find any one who Is willing to put up an argument. One of the happiest couples l have had he pleasure of meeting had to indulge h a spat every few days, just for the i'm of making up.
 Just fancy having your husband for ger granting all of your wishes, with nQer a word of oppositionl When your Clauncey comes home to dinner, and you Ea, to him: Dearest, I really must have $50 for a new bonnet, and $l00 rfore for a gown I had fitted today'-now 1t isn't pleasant to have him come back at you with All right, darling; here's a check all agned: just fill 1t out for as much as ydl want
 Tint isn't natural, and no woman with my kind of spirit will stand 1t for a whde lifetime"
 Good for you, Lillian And more power

Along a Railroad Track.

From the Tucson Citizen
 The Southern Pacific roadbed Is being oiled from Yuma to Fl Paso, the length of the Tucson division Already forty miles of track has been oiled, most of the roadbed between Tucson and Yuma having been treated up to this time. Of course. there Is considerable of the track age to be omitted. some portions not re- quring treatment, as also the points where bridges are in evidence.
 Superintendent Jones said today that fifteen miles of the Maricopa and Phoenix railway line would be treated to doses of the oleaginous, the other twenty miles not requiring treatment.
 The International from Benson to No- gales will be treated at points where fl is found necessary.
 Four thousand gallons of oil is used per mile. that being the average. The oil cars will be here early next week, so our citizens can see how the work of oil- ing tracks Is done. The distance to Mar icopa is eighty-five miles, so no more than forty miles is yet to be oiled west of Tucson.

Watch as a Shirt Stud.
,rom the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 The latest novelty in watches has just been completed by a watchmaker in Par is. who has made a set of three gold shirt studs, in one of which is a watch which keeps excellent time. the dial being about three-eighths of an inch in diam eter.
 The studs are connected with strip of silver inside the shirt. The watch con tained in the middle one Is wound by the turning of the stud above and the hands are set by turning the stud below. The most striking thing about the minute machine Is that 1t works with pendu- lum like clock, and the pendulum will act with ease and accuracy in whatever position the timepiece is placed, even if 1t be upside down.

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

A young Chicago stamp collector
says that two of the teachers in his
school are encouraging their pupils to
take an interest in stamp collecting by
offering prizes of packets of cheap
stamps to those scholars gaining the
best records in geography.
The new revenues seem to be we'll
calculated to defeat the manipula-
tions of the stamp wa ashers through the
extreme susceptibility of the black ink
in which the figure is printed. Col
lectors<who have tried to separate the
stamps from paper by immersion in
water have despoiled many of the
stamps of the black impression
through the action of the water.

The postal rates are the cheapest in

were ordered to be of the new type,
with King Edwards head, but either
through misunderstanding, or want
of time in preparing the new dies. the
new stamp was engraved in the old
