Lady Jane is dear, good soul, but
she is accustomed to be unwise in her
management of Sigma. She allowed
her new approval of Noel to be read in
the growing maternity of her manner.
Hitherto she had been cousinly in her
treatment of him-she was not his
aunt or that might have been her atti-
tude-and when things looked very
black In the matrimonial market she
comforted herself aloud with his ad-
vantages. Sigma hated the obvious.
Her temper had been decidedly uncer-
tain since Captain Verney had come
into what she henceforth STYLED his

1orth this very afternoon in a mood
that was ripe for mischief.
She found it at Lady Bloomfield's
afternoon crush where the Bohemian

Sigma hardly glanced at him. There
was no doubt that she was in very
bad mood indeed, and her eyes, roam
ing about for some evil deed to prove
this, did not alight upon Batsburg, as
the special means arranged by the
Powers of Darkness to help her. 1t

Practice Said to Account for Japs,

The Nichi-Nichi, a prominent Jap

markable health of the Japanese sol

degree of his endurance and immunity
from disease to his habit of drinking
about gallon of water every day Of
his life. The statement was verified

| would not say they are unclean; it
is only that they are less particular in
their cleanliness. 1t is a difference in
the point of view. The Japanese

cleansing the pores and giving the
soul chance to breathe. And the
air bath is equally a habit. My peo-
pie cannot at first live in the close
American houses. They crave the
freedom and perfect ventilation of
their bamboo cottages. Drinking and
bathing are national traits. We be-
lieve that cleanliness of the internal

comfort as cleanliness of the skin.

The Nichi-Nichi discourses further
on the subject, stating in naive way
the benefit of free Indulgence in ma.
lures drink:
Health is gift Of the gods, and
the way to health lies through the do
main of cleanliness. AS we wash our
linen so should we wash our bodies
inside and out. Water is the sweetener

sweet and pure as a mountain brook:

MAJOR BURKE ALIVE, MAJOR
BURTON DEAD.

The Picayune Of June II says: The
report OF the death Of Major t. y.
Burke which rearhed the Plcayune Sun
day night, and which was given public
ity in Mondays paper, has been proven
unfounded, from two sources.
One source is a cable which Manager
Ellis of the United Fruit Company re-
ceived from Puerto Cortez yesterday
morning, stating that Burke was not
dead
The other is the discovery, after the
most dilgent search, of the fountain
head Of the report, which was that Ma
jor D. l. Burton was dead, and this
name was unwittingly transposed into
that of the ex-State Treasurer, in pass
ing from mouth to mouth.
The authority Of the report, says the
Pic, came in letter from Mr.. Penny,
who was associated with Burton in a
railroad contract in Guatemala, and told
of his death on a train between Puerto
Barrios and an interior point. Major
Burton has lived in Central America
many years, and was a man who had
many friends. He travelled all over
those republics, and wrote a pictorial
history of them, which was printed by a
local firm.

1t is reported in the Guardian Journal
of June IA that the eight men who on
being informed that they were charged
with assassinating Dick Craighead on
April rs, surrendered to the sheriff OF
Claiborne, have been released from jail
on bond fixed at $4,000 for each of the
accused. 1t is announced that this con-
clusion was reached after the Attorney
General of the State had conferred with
the States witnesses and the defense had
waived an examination before the court.
If the accused could not be held in the
preliminaries it is doubtful if the grand
jury will find bill against them. To
convict, evidence is necessary, but this
essential is, seemingly, not in the reach
of the State. From Our view, this effort
at conviction may be recorded as another
travesty on justice
