The former Secretary Of the Treas

imbued with the idea OF identifying
himself with the theosophists He

has made visits to Southern Califor-

Los. Angeles on private business On
the second trip it became known that
he had gone To San Diego and had
conferred with Nine Tingley.
The only admission his relatives
would make was that he had taken to
spiritualism That Mr. Gage has

Certain eggs are poisonous, and
among them are too kinds which are
commonly eaten by human beings,
namely, the hens egg and the ducks
egg.
Recent Investigations made by a
French chemist have demonstrated the
fact that the yolk of many eggs con-
tain poison enough to kiln small crea-
lures If administered in the form OF
injections under the skin The ordinary
hens egg Of the breakfast table is
capable of causing this result The
ducks egg is still more poisonous,
while the turtles egg takes first place.
Even the white Of the turtles egg
is poisonous.
Be it noted that the toxic action oc-
ours only when the egg is used for
what medical men call subcutaneous
Injections; there is no need to be
alarmed concerning the eating of these
natural products, says Home Notes.
The process of digestion utilities any
noxious effects which these useful
dietary accessories may have when
taken into the system in any other
way.

Meats or soups should not be coy

Large Jumps of unslaked lime placed
in dark or damp corners in the cellar

Hot water and soap generally re-

Abe Trot, well-know character Of
Peaks Island. Me-, was ON his way to
the woods to cut down some trees,
carrying an axe on his shoulder and a
small terrier dog following at his heels.
They espied woodchuck, to which
the dog gave chase and drove into a
stone wall, where action commenced at
once. Abe's sympathies being with
the dog, he decided to take a hand and
help him. So, putting himself in posi-
tion, with the axe above the dog. he
waited for the extraction Of the chuck.
Soon an opportunity offered and Abe
struck, but at the same time the wood
chuck gathered himself up and pulled
the dog in far enough forhim to receive
the blow and the dog was killed. For
years after, in relating the story. Abe

er which has a compartment distinct
from that for holding the fluid con
tents. The purpose of this compart-
ment is to hold ice out of contact with
the ordinary contents. The liquid in
the pitcher is shown by the shaded por-
tion Of the illustration, the pocket in
which the ice Is placed being slightly
below the lower end Of the handle
This pocket projects forward and
downward and is otherwise SO posi-
toned that when the pitcher is tilted
in the usual manner Tor the purpose OF
pouring out the contents the ice, to-
gether with any water, is careened for
ward and thus prevented from leaving
the pocket. Any water from the melt
ed ice in this way cannot dilute the
contents, and the liquid maintains its
proper degree of strength.

The popularity and usefulness of fold
ing beds have long been established.
Until recently this novelty was applied
to wooden beds only, but the uniyers-
al demand for iron and brass beds
has led a Detroit inventor to devise
the folding iron bed shown here. The
head and foot posts are connected to-
gether by side rails in the usual way,
but otherwise the construction is en-
tireIy different. The head and foot Of
the bed are made by lazy tongs, which

spikes cooperating with the fasteners,
which are nominally held in place by
the springs Through the top of each
spike is an eye, through which is
threaded a piece of cord or Irvine.
When sufficient papers have accumu-
lated they are passed over the end of
the spike, which naturally draws the
cord with them. The cord is then cut
into sections, and the corresponding
ends tied. This would make an effec-

not fewer than seven others who

THE main object Of these prose-

the men who were at the head of the
movement to raise the price of ice
and not to injure the small dealers,
who were their tools. The testimony
Of two men of this latter class, who
have offered to tell all they know
