LONG SWIM IN THE SEA.
Hungarian Interpreter Changed His
Mind About Suicide When Wet.

New York, Sept. 9.-Swimming in
the Mediterranean Sea for 71s hours,
the shock of the plunge into the cold
water having caused him to aban-
don his desire to end his life, Walter
NJ. Quittner, a Hungarian interpreter
on the steamship Carpathia, who
jumped overheard from that vessel to
commit suicide, was picked up by a
Liverpool steamer and the next day
restored to the Carpathia
That is the astounding story that
Captain Pentecost, of the Carpathia
told when his vessel arrived today
from Mediterranean ports. He stated
that on the outward voyage, August
8, at $50 p. m, Quittner jumped
overheard. The alarm was given, an
electric buoy was thrown overheard
and a boat lowered. After an hours
search in the darkness, the boat re-
turned to the steamer without find
ing the man. TIL eneXt day the Car
pathia stopped at Gibraltar and sailed
for aples>
At 4:3O in the afternoon, the yes.
sci overlook a Liverpool steamer
which signaled that she had a man
ing the man. The next day the Car.
pathia \ boat was sent alongside
and, to the astonishment of the peo'
pie on board the Carpathia, he proved
to be the interpreter. 1t was learned
that, after swimming about for "
hours, the steamer came along ant
he was picked up.

In addition to this every mother
should discourage the practice OF
kissing.
We certainly have not the pre-.
sumption to suppress the kiss among
adults; we would be preaching in
the desert. But DR.. Julius Felix in
a remarkable work entitled The
Contagious Diseases of the Nine
teenth Century" says that in certain
countries many persons become af-
fiicted with the gravest diseases
merely by simple ignorance, without
hereditary reasons, and simply be-
cause in their nation the kiss unfor-
tunately remains as a form of salu-
tation.
Knowing now the dangers of the
kiss among children, as we'll as
adults, we wish that we might abol-
ish Immediately this ancient custom
of politeness, publishing an edict
against its further use.

Cure for Sick-Hea da che.

We had a letter the other day
from a lady in the town of Boulder
Colo, that should be of interest to
people who are troubled with spells
of sick headache. She writes that
she had these spells about four times
a week, was obliged to so to bed and
remain there from to 10 hours
each time. Had been troubled this
way for several years, and the at
tacks became more frequent. Doc
tors done her no good, she tried
dieting, as every body said 1t was
from her stomach. Seeing an adver-
tisement of DR.. Gums Improved
Liver Pills, which said, they cure
sick headache by removing the
cause, she decided to try one more,
and sent so cents for two boxes. She
said she had taken the last pill more
than months ago, has not had a
sick spell of any kind for over 5
months. Druggists sells these pills
for 25c per box. 1t only takes one
for a dose, they cure sick headache
every time.

THEY PUT OFF IN THE 11FEBoAT.

was that the small boats would land
in time to send help to them. Had the
eleven III the lifebOat been able to
make Sand island the devoted seven
might have been taken off the same
night. But the boat was driven by
that point by the furious nor wester,
and 1t took them all night to make the
mainland. The wind carried the boat
on a line parallel with the beach, and
the tremendous surf made it impossi-
bic for them to run in until next morn
ing.
Engineer Phillippi, who had begged
to stay on the ship but had been com
manded by his captain to take charge
OF the lifeboat, beached the boat soon
after dawn. The men were so ex-
hausted that only the thought Of their

miles. Phillippi boarded the fishing
tug Harrow and piloted the crew of
fifteen men to Sand island reef. The

Gladstone's Memory,

William E. Gladstone had a mar
velous memory. Sir Algernon West
tells this story of it: "We were dis
cussing in 1881 the conversion of the
malt tax into a beer duty. l had told
him that the estimated profit of the
malsterwas per cent. on each quarter
of malt. The following day he said:
i understand that the masters profit
is 4 per cent No, sir l said, g per
cent 4 certainly thought it was A.
And then, turning to Mr.. Young,
famous internal service official, he
said: Can you recolIect as far back
as 1882? Was not the profit then
supposed to be 4 per cent? Tt was
then, he replied. 'Ah,' Mr.. Gladstone
said, I see how 4 per cent. has got
into my mind 1 recollect studying
the question when 1 became member
for Newark in 1882 and it was that
figure then A gap of nearly fifty
years"

Heroism of a kind uncommon even
In the west came to light when the
story of the loss of the steel freight
steamship Sevona on Sand island rect
in Lake Superior, was told, says a dis
patch to the New York Press from
Bayfield,, Wis. Seven men, including
Captain E. S. Mcdonald of Northeast
Pa, and his first and second mates,
offered their lives. that the seventeen
others might escape. The heroes chose
almost certain death in the shattered
hull because the storm did not leave
enough small boats on the vessel tt
carry the entire ships company ashore
Officers and men alike sacrificed them
selves chiefly for the security of foul
women who were in the steamer and
who at last got to land after a night o!
