Appetites of wild Beasts.

A very lucrative If, somewha. spec
ulative industry is the traffic In wild
animals. The stock Is most dificult
and expensive to procure, and equally
SO to maintain. Its mere existence
calls, not for square feet, bu: for
whole acres of space; and when one
considers that single elephant will
Iunke away with $50 pounds of green
stun in a day, he begins to realize
~liat a serious matter 1t is to keep "a
stuck of wild beasts on hand ut all.

ouAkEs OF BIBLE TIMES.
Record of Earth Upheavals in ths
Holy Land Found in Bib
lical History.

Earthquakes, more or less violent,
have been of frequent occurrence an
Palestine. but the recorded instances
have not been many. The most re-
markable one recorded in biblical his
tory occurred in the reign of Uyziah

Josephus connected with the sacrilege
and consequent punishment OF that
monarch QI Chron.. XVI. 16).
From Zechariah. xiv, 4. one is led to
Infer that a great convulsion took
place at this time in the Mount OF
Olives. the mountain splitting so as to
leave valley between its submits
Josephus records something of this
kind, but his account is by no means
clear.
An earthquake occurred at the time
of the crucifixion of the Saviour (Nat-
thew xvii. 51-54).
Earthquakes are not infrequently
accompanied by fissure5 of the earth's
surface. Instances of this are record
ed in connection with the destruction
of Korah and his company Numbers

of the Saviour (Matthew XVI, Sd:

victims and twist until the screams
because of the excruciating pain could
be heard across the street.
81 have never heard of case ap-
preaching this in cruelty" said Miss
Minnie Jacobs, juvenile court officer.
The testimony and the pitiable con-
dition of the children evoked the SYM
pathy of the court attaches and spec
tators. and found expression in a sub
stantial collection being taken for
them. Particularly pathetic is the
case of Annie, the little one who may
die. While Inspector LAWN was ques-
tioning her an elderly woman, whose
tear-flooded eyes were mute evidence
of the shock of the revelation and of
the outpouring of love and sympathy
she felt for the abused child. gently
touched her on the shoulder. With a
sharp exclamation of pain the little
girl jumped back out of reaching dis
tance. Where the motherly hand of
the stranger had touched her was re-
membrance of her legal mother-a raw
spot of quivering flesh that had been
scared with the iron.
The Janoszeks were held in SIC, 900
bail and the two younger children, one
a babe in arms. were taken by charit-
able workers to be cared for.

CELERY GAINING IN FAVOR.
Grows Best in the Rocky Mountains,
Where 1t Is Neglected by
Farmers.

Celery is native of Europe
where 1t has always been much more
used than here. not only in salads
and as a relish, for which 1t is still
principally demanded In this country.
but as a seasoning for soups and other
dishes and cooked by itself like any
other vegetable. Its traditional place
on the American table has heretofore
been with the turkey and cranberry
sauce at Thanksgiving and Christmas
and other special feasts. but of recent
years 1t has come into more general
use at all times of the year. while as
one of the ingredients of salad 1t Is
more than holding its place, despite
the coming of so many new dishes Of
the salad family.
The old discussion as to whether
celery is properly a winter or sum
mer food is rapidly giving way before
the generally accepted idea that 1t is
a good thing to eat 1t whenever IL
can be had, and in Philadelphia this
means all the year 1t is definitely
established, too, as nerve tonic harm
less In large or small quantities.
While II is extremely perishable
after 1t has once been harvested. and
loses rapidly the crispness which
makes one of its most delightful char.
acteristics, 1t can now be had after
being only a little while out of the
ground; also from many climates, In
rotation. Besides. there are ways Of
storing 1t and keeping It in good con-
dition before 1t is picked-or. rather,
pulled up by the roots-until the mar.
ket calls for 1t. The all-season supply
comes from as far south as Florida
and as far west as California.
Curiously enough. the Rocky noun.
tain celery. which is declared by con-
noisseurs to be superior to all other
varieties. does not reach this market
or any other. This appears to be a
case Of neglected industry among
the Iiountaineers, who are too busy
with mines and cattle and some fruits
to raise more than enough celery for
their own consumption. Right in the
heart of the Rocky mountains" says
n man who has been there, where
celery is SO much better than any
where else that 1t seems like a diff
fereut thing, 1t is hard to get and
high priced"

"Shure," and the customer reached.
II was then the cyclone struck. And
1t came with terrific force. Ike saw a
gray streak and the next moment he
was sitting in the middle of lie street
The lone customer saw II coming and
attempted to duck. But he was a mo-
ment too late and the next instant he
was standing on his head in the mid
die of the pavement.
''Vot vas it?" queried Ike.

toner
Lets go in" suggested Ike.
No, let's look through the windoy, -
advised the customer.
And they did. They saw the goat
reaching for the onions. They stood
on the lunch counter and were Just
beyond the reach of the animal. But
he was not to be outdone He stepped
back pace or two. Then he went
forward with lowered head
"Ach du lieber," broke from Ike.
'It vas a fine counter" agreed the
customer
The goat stood in the midst of the

the lettuce. He ate the. radishes and
he ate the carrots. -.,...-.

agreed Ike. r-~----

Then Ike performed an act that will
ever live in the memory of those kho
worship him. He entered the saloon.
He lodged the infuriated animal and
caught him by the horns. He sat on
his head until the lone customer could
enter. Then they dragged the animal
to his stall in the rear of the saloon,
locked the door and nailed it and
placed heavy pieces of timber against
1t.

Ike.

GIRLS TORTURED WITH FIERY
IRONS BY INHUMAN PARENTS
Shocking Case Of Cruelty Discovered in Chi
cago-ChiId Branded Until Flesh
Blazes Into Flame.

Chicago.-Parental love has been
woefully lacking in the lives of Mary
and Annie Janoszek, aged six and
-FOUR years respectively, and in their
wretched home on Concord place they
have known more of burns from red
hot pokers than of caresses and kind
ness. according to testimony of the lit
tie girls. corroborated by the evidence
of neighbors. who have witnessed the
injuries inflicted upon the children by
Mrs. Mary Janoszek. the mother.
Reluctant to interfere, neighbors
have silently sympathized with the
unfortunate little ones, until. sickened
beyond endurance at the continual tor
ture, they notified the officers of the
Illinois Humane society.
Investigation resulted in the arrest
of the woman and her husband. John
who are now in the county Jail, while
Mary and Annie are being cared for
at the Children's Memorial hospital,
where it is feared Mary. the elder,
may die of her injuries.
All during the hearing the other day
before Justice Mayer the woman main
tained stolid Indifference, and even
when her neighbors detailed instances
in which the helpless little ones were
branded with irons fired to white heat,
and made to endure other sufferings
e'or trivial causes, she only yawned as

proceedings.

That the tortures they have under
gone have bred in the children a loath-
scSne fear of their mother was shown
in Inspector LAWNS office, where the
mother interrupted the examination
by the inspector and spoke sharply to
than in Polish. Instinctively they
shrank and covered, not realizing that
they were safe even with the protec-
tion of the officers. The testimony of
acquaintances of the family indicate
that the mother delighted in fiendish
acts of cruelty.
In winter the two girls were denied
shoes and stockings, and in their bare
feet were sent on errands, particularly
to the near by saloons. Nicholas Nau-
mes, who lives across from the Janos-
zeks, testified that one day last win
ter, during bitter cold spell. Annie
was seen coming from the groggery
in tears. Naumes saw the door opened
by the mother, who, when the child
spoke few words to her, picked her
up bodily and threw her to the side
walk, where she lay senseless and
bleeding from wounds in the face.
Naumes subsequently learned that the
child's offense was losing Is cents
change. also that she suffered a broken
arm and fractured nose. Naumes
reported the case to the Humane So
ciety.
That the cruelty has been recent

witness said the victims cries could
be heard for hours.

Strauss was at the house the children
were sent to the woodshed and re-
mained there two days. subsisting on

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out

Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
In the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.

subjected to the saliva and to the PAN

human system must handle the starch
as best 1t can. without the help that ma
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis. peri
tonitls. constipation and all sorts Of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food. knowing
these facts, made use In their expert
ments of the entire wheat and barley,

In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grare-sugar in perfect

chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place Of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch In the
food, and that is very common In the
human race to-day.
The ecffct OF eating Grape-Nuts ten

in Santa Rosa, all larger than your
Capital, in perfect and complete
ruins. The county courthouse,
costing 800, a grand pile of
brick. Not one business house left
standing. 1t is utterly impossible
to locate the streets, the town is
one solid mass of ruins. Over forty
dead bodies have been taken from
the ruins. / was there three days
after the catastrophe and the
offensive Odor of other dead was
evident from the wreck.
San Francisco was a wicked city,
she has sown to the wind and is
now reaping the whiN wind. All
her fine hotels, immense structures,
arts and science, are leveled in the
dust. The city hall, twenty years
in erecting, costing over $3, 600, 600,
was completely destroyed in forty
seconds. What the quake did not
destroy fire completed the job.
The trembler did it's work, bursting
the principal water mains, cutting
off the water and the city was
doomed. Block after block ahead
of the fire was blown up to check
the fire, but all to no effect for
three long, weary days, and it con-
tinued to destroy. No water even
to quench ones thirst. Many of
her citizens lying dead on her
streets, burnt and charred beyond
recognition. Near 1000 is the loss
of life there. and possibly more
will be added. Bread sold rapidly
at 81 per loaf, soda crackers at D
cents. Many acts of vandalism
were perpetrated, but many of them
shot by the soldiers. In some in
stances innocent men were shot.
One case, the owner was trying to
find some piece of his own property
burnt over, and he was shot down
without warning.
In this place there have been
from four to five distinct shocks

Healdsburg, CAL, April %, 1906.
Editor Roundabout:
Dear Sir-It may interest your
readers, many of whom probably
are my old friends, to have an ac-
count of the terrible earthquake we
have just experienced, of which l
saw and felt it all. We have often
read and heard of horrible and dis
astrous tremblers, but now / have
seen and passed through one of the
most destructive ones on record
We had heavy rain storms and
high water from January to April
/. Since then, the most beautiful
spring weather. Everything and
everybody was full Of life, buoy
ancy and happiness. At a quarter
to five o'clock on the morning of
the 18th, as people were beginning
to rise, We felt slight tremor,
nothing uncommon here. In sec
ond or two another shake, a little
stronger, and in ten seconds more
we were being tossed about the
room. the house rolling and tremb-
ling about like ship in storm.
We managed to get to the door and
look, when we saw the widest con-
fusion of nature. The earth was
rolling in wave after wave, the trees
were bending their tall heads to
the ground and then flying back as
far the other way, the terrified birds
were scudding in terror through
the air, the horses neighing and the
cows lowing in great distress.
Dust and smoke filled the air and
bricks from falling chimneys flying
in every direction. Springs of
water were gushing forth where
no springs had existed before.
The streams, which were clear and
shallow, were now turbulant and
muddy. Land, which the day be-
fore was too dry to pillow. was now
too wet. The tremOr lasted fully
forty seconds. l thought it was
an hour, but on my, what destruc-
ton was made in that forty sec
onds. There is not whole brick
building standing in this county
or San Francisco. Healdsburg
suffers a loss of $l50,0OO. Santa
Rosa, our county seat, lost every
thing but the churches and a few
little farm houses, many of which
are badly damaged. L never saw
or heard of such complete destruc-
ton as I saw in Santa Rosa, the
same as in San Francisco. What
the trembler did not destroy, the
raging fire did. Four large hotels
