How He Saved the Money.

washingto Telegram to the New York
World: senator Quay. who has just re-
turned from Florida, told a story in the
republican cloak room today.
Some years ago, when there was a ses-
sion of the Pennsylvania legislature at
which many bills that needed promo
tion"-and got it-were up, a thrifty
Dutchman from one of the Pennsylvania
Dutch counties was in Harrisburg as a
member The Dutchman was not rich.
n after the session was over he aston
ished all his townsmen by coming homo
and investing $50. 900 in cash in q fine
farm and some village property.
Have you had a fortune left your a
friend asked.
mo, SIR the Dutchman replied. II
have just been saving money while 1 was
at Harrisburg"
but 1t Is impossible to save as much
money as that during a session of the Leg
~islature. Your salary was only 80 a day."
TT amt impossible for me. You see my
wife didn't keep a hired girl all that
time"

WIFE DEsERTER ARRESTED.
Rev. Charles Lyons, Principal in a SEN
sational Case Must Stand Trial.

Sational Case Must stand Trial.
Sioux Falls, S. D., May Snow that
Rev. Charles A. Lyons. who created a
sensation by disappearing from Sioux
Falls last December, has been ar
rested in st. Paul and brought back to
this city, he will discover that his
punishment for deCeiving q young
woman Of Sioux Falls will be swift and
sure. When taken before Judge Waits
the prisoner waived his preliminary
hearing and was held for the neXt term
OF state circuit court.
His arrest was due largely to the
personal efforts OF the woman he had
deceived. When Lyons reached Sioux
Falls In custody OF an officer, Mrs.
Lyons and n friend were posted at the
depot where they could see without be
ing seen, and she readily identified the
prisoner as the man who had deceived
her.
Lyons first appeared in Sioux Falls a
year ago this month, and for a time
made his home with Rev. f. A. Orr,
pastor OF the local Christian church.
Lyons exhibited credentials which were
apparently all right and which were
satisfactory to the ~clergymen OF the
city. For a time he occupied the pulpit
of the Presbyterian church, and also
OF the Baptist church.
Last ummer he met Miss Emma Per-
Wis, stenographer In the Sioux Falls
Savings bank. the leading financial in
stitution OF the city. He at once COM
menced to pay court to the young lady,
and OF October 8, last, this eliminated
In their marriage. They lived happily
together and Mrs. Lyons was nearly
Frustrated when on December % her
husband mysteriously disappeared.
It was not until within the last few
weeks that she became satisfied that
she had been deserted and that the
villain I'm whom she had reposed the
utmost confidence was still alive. Then
she determined to have Lyons brought
to justice. and opened n correspondence
with every book bindery in the country,
Lyons being a book binder by trade.
During her Investigations she also
ascertained that Lyons had been mar
ried three times before he married her
and that two OF these wives were still
alive.

Barton, n. d., May 9.-Many cases
are being published of how diseases
have been cured and lives saved by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, but there is a
family in this place who use this rem
edy as a protection against the con ing
on of diseases and with excellent re-
suits.
Mr.. w. A. Moffet says: I'VE have no
very serious illness or complaint, for
we always use Dodd's Kidney Pills
The very moment we feel the least
rymptom Of sickness and they cor
put us right. If we have n touch of
lame back or think the kidneys are not
right, we take a few Dodd's Kidney
Pills and the symptoms are 500 all
gone.
my brother had Diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. l got some Dodd's Kidney
Pills for him, and although that was
several years ago, he has lived through
al the winters and springs since and
IS still living. Dodd's Kidney Pills are
1 wonderful medicine"

WEATHER FAVORABLE.
Farmers Progressing Well With Sowing
of Grain.

Huron, s. D., May 5.-The weather
during the week was generally fair,
with s~easonablc temperature and con-
siderable sunshine, and was very ia
vorable for drying out the too moist low
or Hat lands and for field work.
The seeding of wheat, oats, spelt,
spring rye. and barley was very ia
yorably advanced. Seeding of wheat
and oats IL finished IN the southern
and very nea completion in the mid
die counties and wheat seeding is well
advanced In the northern counties.
Spelt and spring rye sowing is on
the whole well advanced, and cOnsid-
cradle barley has been sown.
Early own grain IL coming up nice
ly and Is looking well, and the medium
late sown is terminating favOrably.
AS q result of poor seed and the pre-
ceding damp and cold weather, some
r~eseeding of wheat and oatS has been
found necessary in "a few scattered To-
c%alities.
Winter rye looks we'll and is making
fair progress. and the small amount of
winter wheat grown I'm the extreme
southeastern counties is I'm good con-
dition.
Grass, though very backward, is now
making fair growth and affords Il lit
tie feed for live stock.
Potato planting and gardening are
becoming general and made good
progress.
Flowing and the preparation Of
ground for corn was rapidly advanced
except on some low lands.
Except In the extreme western por-
ton Of the state, where more moisture
is needed, the soil Is as n rulo amply
moist.

rious than the first upon which he was
arrested. SOrkilmo was located at TIA
Dor, and Deputy Sheriff Crooks pro-
ceeded to that place and arrested him

QUEER DWELLING PLACES.
Towns in Trees and Cities in Caves and
Craters,

Orators.
Tlt-Blts: 1t Is a mistake to suppose that
the whole OF the 1900, 900, 900 of the earth's
inhabitants live upon the surface of the
world. They do not. Some OF them dwell
beneath il. The people Of Tupuselel have
no need to travel far when they want TO
take a salt water bath. The town is built
on piles, which have been driven into a
submerged coral reef situated far out in
the Torres straits to the south of New
Guinea. Opposite this extraordinary set
Element, on the mainland, is another viii
lage that is perched high in the air among
the gigantic palm trees with which the
coast is fringed. The object of both COM
munities in choosing these curious sites
for their dwellings is identical. They de-
sire to assure themselves against being
surprised by their numerous enemies, and
especially they seek safety from the
prowling Dyak head hunters.
People afflicted with diseases not infre-
quently develop strange fads as regards
the choice of their abiding places. Not
long since, for instance, a number of con-
sumptives agreed together TO dwell with
In the dismal depths of the mammoth
cave, Kentucky. In pursuance of this eX-
traordinary project, building materials
were actually carried into the cave at
considerable trouble and expense, and a
tiny subterranean village spring by de-
grees into existence. When it was COM
pleted 1t was inhabited by thirteen fami-
lies.
But, as might have been foreseen, the
profound silence and eternal darkness Of
the place exerted upon the unfortunate
inhabitants a deleterious effect which far
outweighed any benefit derived from the
undoubtedly pure, dry air and equable
temperature. Some Of the invalids died,
others gave up the experiment in disgust;
and the houses so strangely and laborious-
~ built are now given over to tramps, out
laws and other similar chance sojourners.
Better luck has attended the little col
ony Of people similarly afflicted, who, a
few years back, settled within the land
locked crater bay which constitutes prac-
tically the whole interior of the volcanic
Island of st. Paul., in the Indian ocean.
ere they are entirely protected against all
wind, no matter from what quarter OF
the compass It may Chance to blow; while
hot natural baths at varying tempera-
lures are always available. The very
ground, too, Is kept at a constantly
eauable heat by the latent volcanic fires
within. And, lastly, food of all kinds is
plantiful and varied, and includes such
curious and unusual delicacies as sea ele-
phants' fms and tails, crayfish and other
crustaCea in endless variety, and the sue
culent "Kerguelen cabbage" No wonder
that many Of those who have been cured
have preferred settling on the island to
returning TO their homes.

Electric Currents.

Scientific American: NJ. S. Leduc re-
Gently explained before the Academy Of
Science in Paris his method of inducing
sleep n anesthesia by electrical cur
rents. He employees an Interrupted cur
rent in a low-resistance circuit, and sleep
is induced by gradually augmenting the
E. NJ. F. in the circuit. From further In
formation we have received 1t seems that
the frequency of the current used Is from
$50 TO 200 periods per second. Besides the
interrupter there is also placed In the
circuit q milliampere meter, the period or
oscillation Of which Is much longer than
the duration Of the interruption or the
current. Under these conditions When
the instrument is traversed by an inter-
mittent current the needle u~ndergoes a
permane't deviation, which enables the
intensity Of the currents having the same
intermittence and the same duration TO
be compared. Leduc has experimental
with currents of varying degrees OF In
tcnsity, but those which gave the best re-
suits had from $50 to 200 intermittences In
the second, with a tension OF from II TO
80 volts. The cathoue is made OF hy-
drophilous cotton impregnated with a So
luton Of sodium chloride of the strength
of O.60 per cent, and covered with a plate
of metal. This Is placed on the shaver
head Of the animal to be experimental on,
while the anode Is placed In the binder
part of the back, which Is also shaved.
The e. NJ. i. Is increased TIL commissions
take place, and the animal falls on it's
side and respiration ceases. The handle
Of the regulator is then brought back
ward till respiration returns, and with
a certain strength OF current tranquil, or
binary sleep is induced. The duration OF
the sleep Is variable, In many Instances
lasting for two hours or more without any
i'll effects upon the subject. The return
ing Of consciousness is effected by the
removal Of the current, and no injurious
consequences are said to follow.

Baby Finds a Bottle of Carbolic Acia
and Drinks 1t.
While the mother was %unpacking an
old trunk a little 1S-months-old baby
cot hold Of a bottle Of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor, and his
stomach was so badly burned 1t was
feared he would not live, for he could
not eat ordinary foods. The mother
says in telling Of the case:
ut was all two doctors could do to
save him, as 1t burnt his throat and
stomach so bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothing would
lay on his stomach. Finally l took him
into the country and tried new milk,
and that was no better for him. His
grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts
and I am thankful l adopted the food,
for lie commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleShy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he is
entirely well.
Il took him to Matamoras on a visit,
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and l would
have to explain how he came to call
for it, as it was his main food.

attended the baby are DR.. Eddy, Of

Brain Flag" a Myth.


From Literary Geniuses and Brain

So-called brain flag" is a silly myth.
The brain does not tire; intellectual
work does not hurt under normal on.

the brain flag which the newspapers
have been exploring of late. Spencer
learned this lesson and escaped the
tragedy of Nietzsche and Carlyle by
debating his writings, getting others to

being willing to go without vast realms
Of accurate knowledge. Parkman was
driven to similar eXpedients. But all
the rest groaned and suffered even
while they wrote little notes and postal
cards instead Of letters to their best
friends.
The result in suffering was incalcul-
able and horrible. There are biograph-
les Of these people which do not allude
to It; physicians and medical editors
have been known VINO smiled ironically
at the "exaggeration" of vivid imagi-
%nations;" and there are numberless
fools who think they are excused from
all sympathy with a Carlyle or \
Nietzsche. They do not know that the
misery of the pain of one attack OF
nausea or sick headache has not been
equaled except in some medieval or
oriental torture chamber. When for
some profound reason the dominant
and Oldest instinct Of the organism
that for food and n~utrition-is violent

the stupidest mind that the deepest
wrong exists and that the very springs

The duke of Maine, as all the world
knows, disavowcd his wife's act in
treating with Spain, and thus saved
his w dainty carcass from sharing
her captivity in the bastille. But both
he and madame were imprisoned until
he made some abject submission and
apology to Orleans.
Madame dc Chartrain was sent to a
provincial fortress. and bore her In
generation, with great ~fortitude, win
ming even from her cnemies the admir-
alton always accorded to firmness and
virtue.
Philip Of Orleans being once firmly
established in the regency, changed his
usual course, and Iardoned many OF
those who had cunspired against him.
Their prison doors were opened, and
the duke of Maine, becoming recon
Ciied TO mis- naughty lady, forgave her
ana gained great credit in the vulgar
mind. They spent their lives quietly
at SCeaux during the regency, and
naught else of teen concerns this his
tory.
Philip of Orleans possessed some Of
the virtues Of a great man, and nan
Of a good man, but these he kept ever
locked within his own bosom. His
mother, the rigid and austere madame,
said once Of him:
Though good fairies have gifted my
son at his berth with numerous noble
qualities, one enViOus member OF the
s~isterhood sp~itcfulIy decreed that he
should never know how to use n of
these gifts" Such was the character
OF the regent.
OF Jerome and Madame de Chartrain
/ would fain tell more, but during the
troubled times in America com
pietely lost sight Of them, and my in
quirieS developed nothing Of sufficient
verify to give Credencc to here.
All FrcnChmen know OF Jerome's gal
liant death at Malplaquet. 1t is a fire
side legend now, and young French
lads turn their moistened eyes away
at the hearing. Marshal Villare being
there fought beside his litter an UNI
known gentleman who. without name
or rank, yet Dor" himself so com
m~andingly, the discouraged guard raj
lied again and gave him willing obedi-
CrCe. Arrived At 4 narrow bridge he
urged The littCr-bcarers safely across,
and fighting at the rear to be himself
the last to each a place OF safety, he
WAS struck and fell. Prince Eugene,
the courteous enemy, who had himself
witnessed the incident, sent a guard OF
honor to the marshal at ValenCiennes
tho next day with the body, dceming 1t
that Of a man Of consequence. His let
ter congratulated the defeated Villars
upon having such chivalric friends.
1t was poor Jerome, and no one knew
him thea. He rests now with his
fathers.
