miring family and CARRIED in black

Mrs. Stogsdill, who had been most
happy with her husband, surrendered
at discretion and accompanied her
former lover. Ethel Lynch, 14-year-
old girl, who witnessed the strange
proceedings told Stogsdil about the
matter when he came home from work.
Mrs. Stogsdill was Miss Jessie
Shrum. Her marriage to Stogsdill
took place at Kansas City, whittier
the couple eloped to escape from Car
penter. They then came here and
went to housekeeping. Carpenter soon
located the couple and is alleged to
have written to Mrs. Stogsdill and
told her to leave her husband and re-
turn to him, or else he would go to
Pomeroy and kill both of them. 1t was
said that large number of letters
were written in the last two months to
which Mr.. and Mrs. stogsdill paid no
attention.
There is no trace of the two.

What Human Beings Should Eat,

Those who do not want to rank as
extremists will DO we'll to eschew the
glandular organs, such as sweetbreads
and liver. to pin their faith to mutton
and one or two kinds of fish, to give
up coffee and drink weak China tea.
Those who wish to go further shout
reflect first that man is neither car
niverous nor herbivorous. For long
scientists have obscured the view by
useless arguments as to whether or
not man was meant to live like COW.
There are other species than the flesh
and grass eating animals; all students
OF comparative anatomy know now
that the teeth of human beings are
identical with those of the frugivorous
apes who live on fruits and nuts. Not
only so. but the proportion of bowel
length to body in man corresponds ex-
actly with that In the same species in
marked contrast to what obtains in all
carnivOrOus animals where the bowel
is proportionately short.
\ study of anatomy therefore sug-
sests a fruit diet as the most suitable;
further confirmation is afforded l,y the
obvious prediction OF nearly all
children for such food. The best fruit
for food are apples, bananas, grapes,
nuts, dates, raisins end figs.
Nuts are especially valuable owing
to the large amount of fat they COLI
tain: the old-fashioned idea that they
are indigestible is due partly to the
error In taking them ut the end of an
already more than ample meat meal,
and partly to insufficient mastication.
Chestnuts are the easiest to digest and
make an excellent food. Many other
fruits may be taken. always remem-
bering that stone fruits sometimes
disagree, and that acid fruits should
be taken in moderation. Strawber-
ries contain a considerable amount of
purins and should be avoided by all
with a equity or rheumatic tendency.
Among fruits we include those of the
cereals, such as wheat and rice White
bread is free from purin. but brown
contains Il varying amount derived
from the husk. The most wholesome
form of bread is unlenvenet.--I0 DIon

Praying by Machinery,

Some OF the Buddhists have novel
and easy method of praying Inst cad
OF going through a long and tiresomt
verbal prayer. they have hollow CYL
inders on spindles about which are
wound reams and realms of paper con-
tanning printed copies OF prayers.
When a man wishes to pray, he
merely gives one OF these rollers
spin which unrolls the paper, and thus
the prayer is sail. These cylinders
are OF various sizes, the smaller ones
being about as large as an average
rolling pin, and the larger ones are
sometimes immense affairs which are
reyOlved by windmills or water pow

eral hundred prayers in single roll.
These great wheels have often been
revolved by complicated machinery,
and the use of electricity in turning
them might be practical. The small
domestic prayer wheels which were
used in homes. were often hung over
the fireplace and turned by the heat
OF the fire.
The smaller wheels are usually set
in rows on the walls Of buildings, SO
that passersby may give them whirl
and go on their way. rejoicing In hav-

Thiess is dead, and on her deathbed
she accused her husband, Julius, of

According to the woman's story, she

Bile burning in her throat. She saw
her husband slipping out of the door
with a bottle in his hand.
Screaming from the torture of the
fiery fluid which had been poured into
her mouth, the woman seized the fee

daughter, Mrs. Henry Beeman, who
ran into the chamb.r and helped her
mother hold her father for minute
until he redoubled his struggles and
succeeded in breaking away from the

a physician was hastily summoned
and he said that Mrs. Thiess' mouth
and throat had been burned severly.
An examination of the bottle. which
had dropped on the floor. showed that
it had held muriatic acid.

Beet Sugar in England.

In nearly every county in England,
Wales and Southern ireland 1t has
been demonstrated that beets of high
sugar content can be commercially
and profitably manufactured from
these beets. The failure of an attempt
at sugar production in England some
30 years ago would seem to answer
this in the negative. But it apears that
beets used at that failure contained
only ten per cent. of sugar, and that
farmers found it more profitable to
feed them to their stock than to sell
at the price the factory could afford
to pay. In the present Essex expert
ments. however, the average percent
age Of sugar in the beets is placed at
16h, and even this has been exceeded
in several recorded cases in other
counties. This striking improvement

to other details of culture.
The experiments in Essex last year
showed that beets could be grown
equal to and in some cases better in
quality than those raised in sugar pro-
ducing countries. While this is the
first thing to be investigated, the COM
mittee says, ut does not follow that

Miss Beatrice Harraden is the recip-
lent OF many curious letters from un-
known correspondents, a large pro-
portion OF whom are men. Shortly
after the appearance of the German
edition OF ships That Pass in the

German officer thanking her for the
pleasure and stimulus he had derived
from reading the book and assuring
her that he prayed for her every
night" He further described himself
somewhat infinitely. AS recorded in
the Grand Magazine he was as years
of age and belonged to a Prussian cav
airy regiment. 1t then appears to
have occurred to the gentleman that he
was writing to a single lady with
whom ne had no personal acquain-
lance, and, seized by the spirit Of
caution, he added the postscript: This
is not an offer of marriage!"

A Millionaire Tramp.

While the country is burdened thea
trically with tramp plays, few have
attained any standing with theater
goers "A Millionaire Tramp" very
first in the field has outlived all its
imitators. and nightly proves its popu-
larity with theater goers by being
greeted by overlooking patronage. But
"a Millionaire Tramp" contains much
interesting dialogue. excellent conf
edy and splendid climaxes. The fun
is of uproarious soart, and brings forth
laughter and applause Of lasting dur
alton. The dramatic portion of the
play is calculated to please a thinking
public. 1t is constructed with a strain
of morality dealing with temperance
teachings, and many of the lines evoke
thunderous applause from the Par
quette as we'll as from the gallery. "a

MEN CURED BY ACCIDENTS.
Occasions Where Calamities Have
Effected Remarkable Cures.

Some months ago workman was
the victim of an accident which utter
~ destroyed the hearing of one ear.
Although he consulted numerous spec
ialists. he was unable to receive any
benefit whatever and at last gave up
all hope.
The other day while painting q
house. he happened to stand on the top
rung of the ladder with a bucket of
paint in his hand. 1t CHANGED that he
lost his balance and fell. When he
regained consciousness it was found
that his hearing had been fully re-
stored by the blow.
A private soldier was struck by
lightning at Charleston short time
ago. This rendered him totally blind.
Three days later he was struck again.
Afterward it was discovered that he
had fully regained his sight.
In Australia, however, they claim
to have a more curious case. An
English boy lost his speech as re-
suit of a fall. Some time afterward,
he fell off ladder and recovered his
speech.
4 Barry laborer's life was saved at
Cardiff infirmary by cutting his throat.
The patient stopped breathing and
when artificial respiration failed
hole was cut in his throat in order to
induce the hearts action.
A man who was formerly music
hall artist had been paralyzed for four
years in both legs. When he was go
ing along the Dials, London, on crut-
ches to his lodgings. he discovered
that shop was on fire. He gave the
alarm and became so excited that he
dropped his crutches and rushed up
stairs and saved the life of an infant.
He went home carrying the crutches
on his arm and hopes that he will be
able to commence work again.
A Glasgow man drank deadly dose
of laudanum; the police officers cured
him by giving him a good thrashing.
His life was saved by his being kept
awake until the effect of the poison
had passed away. The police officers
who were present kept on beating him
with piece of hose pipe and with wet
towels until he was quite we'll again.
A we'll known player for the Hall
fan football club had lost the use OF
his arm, owing to an accident at foot
ball. Some little time ago when h.
was playing he received some very
hard treatment. indeed. with the re-
suit that when the hatch wac over he
had recovered the use of his arm.
The halfback player for the Holbeck
team was playing against Horsforth
in the cup series some years ago aud
received an injury to his leg which
caused his retirement from the game
One day he had what appeared tc
be the misfortune to fall down full
flight OF steps. 1t was, however, a
fortunate fall, for on getting up he
found that he had regained the use of
his injured leg, and from that day to
this he has walked as straight as
though he had never had anything the
matter with him. London Answers.
