while in Berlin one hot day" said
a traveller, 'I stepped into a combina-
ton beer garden and restaurant an0
ordered a glass Of beer and some fruit
The waiter shook his head.
"'You won't get fruit and beer to
gether in Berlin, herr he said.
Why not?' said l.
1t is against the law the waiter
replied. There is Il law here in Ger
many that no one is to be served beer
and fruit together. If a restaurateur
breaks this law he loses his license. It
is good law the waiter added. IT is
based on good sound sense. Beer and
fruit don't mix They are bad for the
stomach. Sometimes they cause death
''Since that time" the tourist ended,
81 have never mixed beer and fruit
1t is a strange idea, isn't it, to have
food laws like that? Suppose congress
should pass a law forbidding the eat
ing at the same meal Of ice cream and
lobster or mince pie and plum pudding.
What howl would go up, eh?'-New

The Greeks are considered the prin-
cipal sponge fishers, and it takes much
experience, skill and hardihood to quail
ify man for a first class place among
sponge divers. Many of the most valu-
able specimens are found at a depth
varying from ten to thirty-five faith
oms. To aid in the descent the divers
make use Of a triangular stone with a
hole in one corner, through which a
rope is spliced. On reaching the deep
sea gardens, where the rock lodges are
clothed with marine growths, the diver,
retaining a hold on his rope, dexter
ously breaks away the holdfast of the
sponges and places them under his arm
until a sufficient load has been CLEANED,
when a pull on the rope signals his
companions above that he is ready to
ascend, and he is then hauled to the
surface bearing his ocean treasures.

Danger of Burial Alive.

S0HACA u 9uGl6l FttNCu
There is a continual feeling that
there is at present no absolutely sure
method of telling when a person is
really dead. Every now and then an
instance comes to light where some
one has narrowly missed being
buried alive These continual dis
coveries arOuses each time a new in
terest in the subject and makes the
diving a little more uneasy and
afraid of finally being buried before
life has left its tenement of clay.
UnQueStionably there would be a
much more satisfactory feeling
among the members of the human
family if some more sure and certain
method Of determining when life is
extinct was discovered and put into
pTactice.-Tampa Herald.

health officer the next year, without

Havana, Sept 15.-Outside Of a
great amount Of more or less excited
controversy about the wisdom Of land
ing bluejackets from the Denver and
the propriety OF their recall to the
cruiser there is an absolute concensus
OF agreement on one point, namely
that this landing proved wonder
fully distinct and decided influence
towards procuring an offer of surren'
der from the insurgents. This offer
was made at the moment when the
concentration Of insurgent forces in
Havana province had been practically
accomplished, presumably In readi
ment upon Havana city. On this &C,
count the landing was an extremely
satisfactory incident to President
Palma. to the rebel emissaries. to
Commander Colwell and his officers
and crew. to the public OF Havana and
especially to Americans. The fact
that the insurrection has been held up
for at least day is gratifying to all
concerned. An exception to this feel
ing, however. are the radical advo-
Gates tor Intervention. followed by an
nexation. who would have preferred
not to have seen the landing and the
lighting continue until the United

charge OF the situation.
Everybody realizes. however, that
from the standpoint of such intelli.
gent and thoughtful leaders as AL
fredo Zayas the apparent Intervention
of the United States with an armed
force means nothing less than real
Intervention In fact and that the Lib
eral leaders would prefer to surrender
forthwith to seeing the sovereignty
OF the republic weakened or lessened
by American control.

ocratic Party.
St. Petersburg, Sept l5.-lt is now
said that the Russian Constitutional
Democratic party will hold It's caucus
Sept. 81 at Stockholm, Sweden, In
stead of at Helsingfors. Finland, as
flrst intended. The committee is ar
ranging to have a special steamer In
readiness to convey the delegates.
Professor Mouromtseff, who presid.
ed over the late lower house of par
lament, will not attend the congress.
He has gone to Germany, ostensibly to
visit his son, but 1t Is no secret that
he is out of sympathy with the Viborg
address and unwilling to further COM
promise his political future by partfci-
patton In an outlaw congress. The
Constitutional Democratic leaders pre-
fer also that his availability for the
presidency Of the coming parliament
shall not be impaired.
The ministry makes no concealment
of its intention to resort to all legit-
innate means to keep the more radical
of the Constitutional Democrats out OF
parliament. A member of the cabinet
reiterated Premier Stolypin's view
that the Constitutional Democrats are
undesirable as party in parliament
because their ''respectability" was a
cloak for highly dangerous sedition
and criticism.
