gently, but hard enough to close it to

six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut ana almost latched,

Human eccentricities seem to
have reached the llmit.in the case
of Frank Taylor, an aged resident
of Brooklyn, who declares that he
has beer cured of dyspepsia by
eating nothing but grass. He
has bought farm in New Hamp-
shire, where he will lay out in
grass and clover so that he can
have all inexhaustible supply to
draw from. He now gets his daily
supply from a park, where it is
gathered by his daughter. The
young woman makes daily trips
to the park and plucks the grass,
bringing it home in paper bag.
Her father eats it with relish.
His palate has now become accus-
toned to the juice of the grass
that nothing tempts him any
more, and he considers that he
has taken a new lease on life.
He has been made an offer of 500
a week to lecture in museum,
but it has been declined, cs, he
says, he desires no notriety.
