LETTUCE PREVENTS SMALL
PO\.

Don't forget that lettuce is u pre-
ventive of smallpox.
So far as it is possible for a
human being to be protected from
catching smallpox, lettuce is "A pro-
lection.
No need for vaccination what
ever. Any person who eats Il small
quantity of lettuce twice day,
morning and evening, is as well
protected against smallpox as it is
possible for any one to be.
To be sure, one ought to be clean,
ought to live in ventilated rooms,
and avoid dirt of all sorts. Also
avoid contact with people who have
smallpox. Foolish exposure to the
contagion of smallpox is not to be
thought Of. But there is no need
for vaccination.
Go calmly on about your bIsi-
ness. Provide a small quantity of
lettuce morning and evening, and
you can feel sure that you have
protected yourself and your family
in the best possible way against
smallpox.
Lettuce is one of the oldest vege-
table remedies known To the med
ical profession. Long before it was
used as food it was used as med
icine. Many times it has been
claimed that it has magical or
miraculous powers to prevent con-
tagious disease. We believe this is
carrying matters altogether too far.
But lettuce does furnish to tho sys-
tenn exactly what is needed to pro-
tect it against the poison of small
poX.
We defy any one TO produce a
case of smallpox that has been con-
tracted by any person who made
daily use of lettuce as a food. II
there is any such case on record,
we would be glad to hear of it.

LITERARY NOTE.

Was there IA field for the new
periodical, The "Twentieth Cen
tury Homer The reader may
Judge for himself. 1t is an attempt
to present, for the first time in any
publication, the whole world of
living and household work from a
standpoint that will be strictly ac-
curate and scientific in every re-
spect The exact truth in every
thing applied to life. Not tradition
not old nurse-stOries, not imaginary
good, but how to do according to
the best lights Of modern science.
Certainly that is new field.
It's first reception by the public
has been so flattering that the edi-
ton was increased from 100, 900,
and then to al 200 copies. Its re-
ceptiOn by the press has been
equally flattering:

The first number of this new mag

there was room for it in the field !:

usually the case in IA first number.
1t deals with the affairs of the

habit to an extreme remarkable even
among native New Englanders. He
begins his dinner with pie when other
men are usually eating oysters, and he
ends it with pie, this time of another
kind. His taste in pie is catholic and
his appetite is large. Any kind of pie,
and big piece Of it, seems to be bis

habit has characterized him all his life,

CHAPTER XXXII.
THE SEED IS SOWN,

The summer has passed and autumn
has come. AS Hamilton Degraw sits
in his studio, the brilliant light Of an
exquisite September day shines on his
last great effort and brings out its
many beauties TO the observant eye.
1t is the picture Of a young girl lying
asleep upon a couch draped with white
and gold. The sketch Of it We have
seen, but this is the finished painting.
"How beautiful
This is the remark Of Mr.. Byrd, who
is looking over the artists shoulder.
Mr.. Degraw sighed. 1t was the, first
time he had let any other eyes than his
own rest upon this canvas.
But does it not possess too strong n
resemblance to the original to be ex'
hibited publicly?" pursued the detec'
tive, quietly.
1T is not for public exhibition. 1t Is
destined for my own house and my
own pleasure" returned Mr.. Degraw
II have let you see it, but I shall not
show it to many eyes. The man who
saved her life is almost brother to
me; that is the reason I make an. ex

To Disse ct Jumbo's Heart.

Professor Wilder, of the department OF
physiology of Cornell University, has prom
largest heart in the world to dissect and
examine. It is the great muscular pump
that forced the blood through the arteries
of Jumbo, the famous elephant. Jumboo's
heart is ninety-eight times as large as the
average human organ. It now weighs
thirty-six and half pounds. The human
heart is less than six inches long, Jum-
bo's is twenty y-eight inches long and twen-
ty-four inches wide. The ordinary heart
could be contained in the main artery of
Jumbo's heart. The walls of the artery
are fve-eighths of an inch thick, while the
walls of the ventricle are three INCHES

Leave her in peace" she pleaded
'Do not try to extort anything from
her. She will be unhappy enough al
the failure of her scheme. 1t Is not foI
me, in the enjoyment Of my good for
tune, to wish punishment to those less
fortunate than myself"
The bow which Mr.. Byrd made in his
sympathy and admiration was as ele'
CANT as if made by either Of the De.
graws.
You are generous" said be, and
said no more.
She gave him quick look. She was
evidently surprised to see such man

"Have you any commands?" he now
asked.
NO" she returned. mo commands
but you will hear from me again
And with a smile that suggested fu'
ture benefits she turned to go, but was
stopped by final entreaty.
Il hope" said he, very gravely, that
you will not consider any service
which may have done you deserving
of any further recognition than your
thanks. I was working in the way OF
my duty. and shall consider it favor
if you will let the matter drop"
Then I will" she frankly rejoined,
"but it is pity that you will not allow
me to inaugurate my good fortune by
a gift which any one would regard as
only a proper recognition of service
without which might not now be
standing here"
II am paid" said he, II am paid"
| He was such a gentleman that she
found it impossible to contradict him
Or to press the matter further. She,
therefore, smiled once more and van
ished.
He stood a long time looking in the
direction she had gone.
That night she received the following
| note:
II bid goodbye to Great Darlington
to-day. Mr.. Gryce tells me that the
valet was killed this morning while
trying to- escape. ,So=one serious dan.
ger is out Of your path. But remem-
ber the Portuguese. She may take
up his vengeance and seek to, carry it
through. IF you ever see her, if one
glimpse of her hateful face ever comes
before your eyes notify me, or, what is
better, telegraph to Mr.. Byrd at police
headquarters. She is now your evil
genius. I gather so much from Mr..
Degraw's descriptions Of the woman
who kept the house where Mr.. Delaney
died. 1t is identical with my rcmem-
brance Of this attendant of yours, only
the Cleveland woman could speak Eng
lish, as have no doubt the New York
woman could have done if she had
been forced to it. So, if your memory
Of her does not extend beyond last: Qc-
tober {the time when Mr.. Delaney
died) be sure she is the same woman.
