HUMAN MARVELs,

Strange Power of Magnetic C'l-
 Woman Had x-Ray Vision.
 There is no end to the peculiarly formed people in the world, and, cuff ously enough. the most remarkable of them are of the fair@sex.
 An account of a phenomenon observ- cd in girl of P residing at Vladikav- kaz, in the Caucasus, has just been for warded to this country. The girl. whose name is Luba, has marvellous magnetic powers, and every object she ap- breaches begins to move. If she goes near a kitchen dresser the crockery- ware upon it begins to dance, washing hung on line flies off, bottle stand ing on a table is raised in the air and stones lying on the ground leap in the air and fall again.
 Doctors and professors of physical science are unable to explain the strange power, while ignorant people assert that Miss Luba is possessed of an evil spirit, and that she should be sent to Father John of Cronstad to have the demon exercised.
 4 very strange lady is Miss Evatina Tardo, who was born on the Island of
 Trinidad some thirty years ago. From childhood she has never experienced
 the sense of touch and medical men are of the opinion that there is no connec- tion, between the sensoTy and motor nerves in her body, and she is there fore, utterly devoid of physical feeling.
 Doctors have thrust needles in her limbs and under her nails, applied red hot irons to the soles of her feet and cut her flesh with jagged knife, yet all she said she could feel was a
 slight jar.
 Miss Tardo can control the beatings of her heart, stopping it at will and then permitting it to beat again She is proof against poison and disease and consumption, diphtheria and ty- phoid germs have not the slightest eff feet upon her. Altogether she is ver- fitable wonder.
 A young lady of Narbonne possesses the strange gift of being able to see with the naked eye as if with the K rays. Her wonderful achievement has created a furore in scientific circles, and she has been found very useful by surgeons in diagnosing fractures,
 and. examining the interiors of patients bodies.
 Dr. Ferroul. of Narbonne, and Dr. Grasset, of Montpelier, who have ex- amined her, declare that she can see through opaque bodies as clearly and penetratfngly as if her eyes generated Roentgen rays, s..t Gs a>,>,'.r' .s ...t In a farmhouse near Delaware River, in Hunterdon.

merriment at frequent Intervals during the day.
 The malady first appeared in the fatlkr. While seated at the dinner ta- ble Une day be, without any apparent cause, burst into a loud fit of laughter, and continued laughing for several hours. Doctors were consulted, but they were forced to admit that the malady baffled them completely.
 [ Some weeks later Susie, the youngest child, burst into similar fit during one her fathers attacks. From that time onward she laughed without ees- sation for four or five days at stretch, One by one the remaining members of the family fell victims to the strange complaint. Charles, the oldest son, had his first attack while proposing for the hand of a girl at Wilkes-Barre. The maiden accepted him, nevertheless, and their children were taken soon after birth with regular attacks at the same hours as their father.
 l The entire family, including the grandchildren, have laughed incessant' i ly for years, and this has had strange i effect on their voices. Both men and women talk in the same tone, resembl- ing the voice of an alto singer.
 A weIl-known publican of St. Louis is a living chalk man. His whole body has become thoroughly impregnated with chalk as the result of bad attacks of gout: His fingers have turned to chalk and when he was visited by dele gates of a surgical society he actually wrote his name on slate with one of his little fngers.-Tid-Bits.

 all the family with you, and have a lreal old-fashioned time, with plenty of Iout-doors, and as much sport as possi-

Curious How Right Food RebuiIds Body

The benefits of the good, red blood made by Grape-Nuts food is described in g. letter from Chicago:
 q was for years sadly afflicted with hemorrhoids caused by constipation, which was the result of impure blood supplied by food not adapted to the needs of the body under certain con- ditions. My trouble extended to rectal hemorrhoids, which greatly reduced my strength. A surgical operation gave me no relief, and was compelled finally to quit business.
 Luckily, just when things were looking the blackest, some one recom- mended Grape-Nuts food as desira- ble article of diet, and began Oec. 1909 its use. and in few months brought my health back to me.
 "The action of my bowels is free and regular now, and this has brought relief from the hemorrhoids. At the same time q neurotic trouble which had been growing on me, and which the doctors could never do anything with, has also disappeared. All this re- turn to health I am free to say owe to Grape-Nuts food" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

He Isn't Really Taciturn, and He's
 Obliging.23
 In the mass, we believe, Englishmen have not in the past greatly resented being misunderstood and naisrepresent- ed on the continent. We are not really a. tacit1lrn nation-no Englishman, at all events, is quite so taciturn as a cer- tain type of German-but we rather admire taciturnity, We like deeds not words" and do not resent being told that we carry that preference to extremes, even though we may not think it entirely true. When again Englishmen are told that they are "coId" or "stand-offishi" they do not raise any strong objection, because they reflect in a comfortable manner that 1t is better to seem aloof and dis tant than to run any risk of being sup posed to be asking a favor. Yet all the while it is true of Englshrnen that they are neither "eold' nor stand offish." There is not, we believe, in the world a more warm-hearted people. nor, taking the mass of the. nation, is there any people better-mannered or more. genuinely polite. It is true that for sheer rudeness there is no one to equal certain kind of society woman or the worst type of official; but the great majority of English people who travel third-class in the trains, and crowd the tram cars and omnibuses, are charmingly polite out of pure good heartedness. No one, we think, who has ever found hirnsslf in any difficult ty in London, for. Instance, would re- fuse to admit that The kindness which is invariably shown to a child in distress in the street; the trouble which entire strangers will take to see, that a countryman finds his way about the puzzling maze of the me tropolis; the numbers of willing searchers who will stop on their way to help to look for. the smallest coin that fellow passenger has dropped; the readiness with which. men, espec- ially wrlinglnen, will give up their seats to ladies who are compelled to enter an over-croWded railway ca~-

riage-it is not in any spirit of self gIorifcation that We set out what we believe to be the truth. The writer may, perhaps, refer gratefully to two recent experiences of his own. It hap pened not long ago that he was in yolYed in dispute with a not over sober cabman, the point at issue being an alleged attempt to pass counterfeit coin in payment of the fare. The ineY- itable crowd collected, and a police man was sent for, but before he ar rived the cabman's embarrassed fare was drawn aside by a bystander, who, after. begging his pardon, offered to lend him whatever money was neces- tion. ''I really beg your pardon" he was answered.: T thought the diffi- culty was you hadn't enough to pay your fare" On the second occasion referred to, owing to a mistakz as to trains, an extremely sleepy traveller found himself at midnight one Sunday turned out upon the platform of a sta ton dozen miles from his destina- ton. There was no train back until the following morning, and there were particular reasons making it necessary for him to reach home, that night. He wandered disconsolately out into the town and asked a policeman to help him find a. cab. The policeman shook his head; it was midnight on Sunday.

LOVES BLOWERS

F. f.,. LON ES EAOEN EIIGos. .5sas .e#t s##.t@
 Her majesty's love of flowers was one of her characteristics which seemed most incompatible with the idea I. had formed of her from what I had heard, and her love of flowers and all nature caused me first to change that idea. It seemed to me no one could love flowers and nature as she did and be the woman she had been painted.
 She had flowers always about her. Her private apartments, her throne rooms, her loge at the theatre. even the great audience hall where she went. only to transact affairs of state and hold official audiences all were deco rated with a profusion of flowers, cut and growing, but never, though. of more than one kind at a time. She wears natural flowers in her coiffure always, winter and summer; and hoW- ever careworn Or harassed she might be she seemed to find solaee in flowers. Y She would hold a flower to her face, drink in it's gragrance and caress 1t as if it were a sentient thing. She would go herself among the flowers that filled her rooms, and place with longer ing touch some fair bloom in a better light, or turn jardiniere so that the growing plant might have a more fa- vorable position. #tt$fs Asss ! 2 The Chinese do not place certain cut flowers in water, but keep them dry in bowls or vases to get their full fra grance. The Empress Dowager had some quaint conceits about the ar- rangement of these. She would have fthe 'corollas of the lily bloom or the E fragrant jasmine placed in shallow bowls in curious, star-like designs, beautiful to look at as well as most fragrant. .
 Her passion for flowers being gen. erally known among the courtiers, princes and high officials, they send daily offerings to the palace of all that is rare and choice in the way of plants and flowers, for they know this is one present her majesty will always ac- cept and appreciate.

The active pallbearerS were the ser geants of the Second regiment.
 The floral tributes were magnificent, and were a fitting testimonial to the esteem in which the colonel was held by his comrades and associates. Among them were large standing reproduc- tiOn of the regimental pin, from the l Officers association of the regiment; standing open gate, from the admins tration of the Springside home;, a | standing cross, from the Veteran Light guard; spray Of chryanthemums and autumn leaves, from the active 1 Light guard; wreath from the Inde- pendent German Rifle club; a stand ] ing wreath, from the First infantry: 9 standing harp from the New Haven ] Grays; a pillow of roses and carna- tions, from the First Separate compa- ny; a standing wreath from the em- ployes of the Bradley-Smith company: a standing cross and pillow from Com pany I, and numerous other tributes from friends.

 AT THE GRAVE.
 The scene at the interment was high ly impressive. Besides the military, thousands of people were assembled to do honor to the deceased. At the bu- rial, Rev. Dr. Phillips officiated, assist ed by the Rev. pr. Timm, and there was singing by large gathering from l the different German singing societies of the city, which was deeply affect ing. There were about fifty of the singers, led by Professor Diehl. 4 vol ! ley was fired over the grave by a del- egatfon from each company of the sol- diers. The tributes of flowers were de- posited at the cemetery lot in advance of the arrival of the funeral process sion, and filled three of Champions wagons, which were used to convey the flowers to the grave. After three | volleys had been fired over the grave the regimental buglers sounded taps, and the band played 'The Lost 1 Chord" Stahl & Son were the funeral directors. The remains are inferred on Beach avenue. l Among the mourners were the aged mother of the deceased, for whom the deepest sympathy is felt in her very
 sad bereavement.
