AUTO THROWS
VANDERBILT into
ICE COVERED LAKE

New York Dec. A.--As William X VAN
derbilt, Jr.. was driving along the public
highway through his place a Great Neck
T. l., IN a iQ-horsc- power automobile the
'front.' axle broke and he was sent flying
nto the lake, about 70 feet from the
shore There was a little thin ice on the
water, but he had no difficulty in making
MS way back 60 shore through the shall
,Jw water.
He was not hurt but his escape from
erlous injury and perhaps from death
was marvellous The force with which
Mr. Vanderbilt was thrown from tho au-
tomohile was such that had he met with
an obstacle OF any size he must have
been instantly killed.
There was no one with Mr. Vanderbilt
except his driver He found the chauf-
feGr dazed from being thrown 10 the
ground beside the road but otherwise un-
nurt The auto was hauled TO the garage
on the Vanderbilt estate for repairs
The road whore the mishap occurred is
the highway which Mr. Vanderbilt has
been trying 20 have closed 20 the public.
Failing In this. he has shut a. OF from
tho grounds OF his estate which lies on
both sides Of ~. by an iron picket fence
about iO feet high This fence also sep
arates the road from Success lake tho
deep pond on the estate. For most 81 tho
distance tho road follows the shore OF the
pond

REPAIRING BRAIN.
A Certain Way By Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure of modern condi-
tons to the active and sometimes over
active use of the brain.
Analysis OF the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate Of potash,
separating 1t from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day. II we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of pot
ash, as presented In certain field grains,
has an affinity for albumen and that is
the only way gray matter in the brain
can be built 1t will not answer to take
the crude phosphate of potash of the
drug shop, for nature rejects it. The
elemental mineral must be presented
through food directly from Natures
laboratory.
These facts have been made use OF in
the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and
any brain worker can prove the value
of the proper selection of food by max
Ing free use of Grape-Nuts for ten days
or two weeks. Sold by grocers every

81 see that DR.. Lasalle has been COM
municating his ideas of longevity to
the Academy of Medicine.
They are those of Flourens, who
set them forth in his lectures at the
Sorbonne. But Flourens had not the
same opportunities for basing his theo-
ries on a broad foundation of stats.
tics. Reasoning from analogy. he con-
Guided that human beings ought to
live five or six times longer than il
took them to attain the full adult state
that is to say, from twenty to TWEEN
ty-five years.
"It takes a cat eighteen months to
grow up, and the creature, if left to
die natural death. does so at an age
varying from ten to twelve years. The
dog takes two years, and lives to
twelve or fourteen; the horse five, and
goes on to twenty-five or thirty. A
well-constituted human being ought te
live from a hundred and twenty to a
hundred and forty
"In addition to the cases of longevity
cited by Flourens, DR.. Iasalle gives 9
long list. Some of then take ones
breath away. For instance: Peter
Czortan, who died recently at Temes
var, in Hungary, at the age of 1873, and
an old man (name not mentioned) who
has just turned his 200th year in an
asylum at Pulsk. He buried his wife
in his 1880 year. Would it not be well
to send scientific commission to PulsI
to investigate into this Metbusaleh':
claim to extraordinary longevity"

The telephone system Of Paris leaves
considerable to be desired and meets
with constant complaint on the part of
the subscribers. One of the latter en-
deavored to test the speed of the vari-
Gus means Of communication of the
city, sending messages in different
ways from his rooms in the Rue Rich
ellen, in the center of the city, to a
friend on the Avenue de la Grand
Armee, near the Bots de Boulogne. He
found that bicycle messenger made
the trip in eleven minutes and fifteen
seconds, as compared with twenty three
minutes for cab. A messenger sent
via the Metropolitan Railway required
thirty-five minutes, message by the
pneumatic tube three hours, while the
message sent by telephone did not ar.
rive at all.

The lawyers were discussing the
merits and dement's of a well-known
member of the New Orleans bar who
had been gathered to his fathers, and
one of the party, says the New Orleans
Times Democrat, recalled the time
when he studied in the old mans Office
We had a copying clerk whose ineffi-
cheney continually worked the judge up
to the point of explosion. One day a
wire basket fell of the top Of his desk
and scratched his cheek Not having
any court-plaster, he slapped on three
postage stamps and went on with his
work. A little later he had some pa
pers to take to the United States court,
and, forgetting all about the stamps, he
put on his hat and went out. AS he
entered the Office, the judge raised his
head and fixed him with an astonished
stare. The clerk stopped and looked
frightened. and finally said: Anything
-er-wrong, sir?" Eyes, sir" thun-
dered the old gentleman. "You are car
rying too much postage for second-class
matter"

Three FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods. displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation IL the stomach.
bearing-down pains, nervousness, dig
illness and sleeplessness.
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache.
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains 1t has also proved itself
Invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
hcited and grateful testimonials on file
at the PinkhaIa Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. PiLkhaIa's advice
Mrs. Pinkbam's Standing Invitation
toWomen.-Women suffering from any
form Of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia e. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
vising sick women free of charge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she does not take
advantage of this generous offer of
assistance.

Our Tendency to worship Heroe.

Our Tendency to Worship Heroes.
The names of many heroes have been
preserved for posterity in the nomen-
clature of places i'm the United States,
evidence of our tendency to indulge in
hero worship to quite an extent. We
have postoffices bearing the pame Of
every President down to and Including
Roosevelt. Only two of his predeces-
sors are lacking in the list of counties.
Naturally, the favorite in the naming
of towns and counties is Washington,
and he is the only President for whom
a State has been named. But others
than Presidents enjoy these honors.
Successful soldiers, sailors, statesmen,
editors, authors, inventors, the heroes
of ancient history and mythology, and
even popular actors and athletes share
like distinction. Our list of post
Offices is long one and contains names
from almost every language, living and
dead, and chosen on almost every con-
ceivable principle or impulse. Two
counties IL Kansas present a curious
association of ideas. Greeley County
has for it's capital town called Tri-
bune, and Ulysses is the county seat of
Grant

SALOON Law IN 22so B. c.

Ii Was Formulated by King of
Babylon and Engraved on stone.
The oldest law In the world relating
to dram shops was formulated by
Khammurabi, King of Babylon, about
the year 225o b. c., and with other
archives was engraved upon tall
diorite column which was placed in
a prominent place lii the temple of Esa-
gil-the temple of Bel Merodach, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. 1t was
so placed that those who had legal
case might come there and consult this
standard lawbook.
The fees of doctors, the wages of
servants, the hire of beasts of burden,
implements, ETC., are all regulated by
royal statute 1t is therefore not sur
prising that the trade In intoxicating
liquors should receive attention. The
laws were as follows:
If wine merchant (female) for the
prizes of drink does not take corn, but
takes silver by the great stone and the
tariff of drink-makes smaller than the
price of corn; that wine merchant shall
be called to account, and they shall
throw her into the water.
If wine merchant permits riotous
persons to assemble in her house and
does not seize and take them to the
palace (guard ROOM, that wine mer-
chant shall be put to death.
II a divorce or the wife of god,
who I'm the temple precincts doesA
reside, opens wine shop or even en-
tiers into wine shop that female shall
be burned
Such were the licensing laws in
Babylonian cities some 1000 years ago,
and it must be said that many of the
difficulties of the trade were even then
known and legislated for. The clause
relating to the price of wheat was in
order to stop the custom Of cheating
the customers who did not know the
regular tariff of corn fixed by 1.-The law
of the king" As to the law as to riot
Gus ,,r noisy characters it is drastic In
compelling the publican to perform the
duties of the police and lock his I'M
pleasant customers up. The law as to
the prohibition of women connected
with the temples trading or entering
wine shops was due probably to the
fact that they did not bear a very
savory name, and so would be unfit
places for those devoted females.

sLUM PROBLEM IN ENGLAND.
How Peabody Donation Fund Sc.
cureu Chem Rents for Poor.

How Peabody Donation Fund Sc
cures Cheap Rents for Poor.
Through the munificence of an Amer
ican-George Peabody-and the pru-
dent management of his fund of ST.
100000, donated at different times
from 1862 to 1873, the governors of
the Peabody donation fund are solv-
ing the problem of the London slums
most admirably. In a city so over
whelmingly vast as London there will
always be the poor, for poverty is the
inevitable lot of some, and there will
always be a shady side of the town
and men who prefer it to the SUMMER
side.
But the forces working for better
ment of conditions in London have no
stronger nor any more powerful auxil-
larry than the Peabody donation fund.
Its governors are the Duke of Devon
shire, the American ambassadors, Lords
Ashcombe and Revelstoke, Messrs. Cav
endish and Long, of the House of Com.
mons Z. A. Hambro and ]. Z. Morgan,
Jr., with f. B. Crouch, secretary.
OF the admirable management of the
great trust there is sufficient showing
In the fact that, beginning with Mr.
Peabody's donation of $2,500,OOO, the
funds ON Dec. 81. 1905, aggregated the
sum of SI,46S.735, with an expenditure
of S7,047,i30 for the purchase of sites
and the erection of cottages for occu-
pancy by ''the artisan and the laborine
poor of London
The number of tenements in various
districts of the great city may be
gagged by the fact that there are 49,.
G15 tenants of the fund. At the close
of 1905 the governors had provided r..
32S rooms, besides bath rooms, laun-
dries and lavatories. The 1925 rooms
comprised 5,469 separate dwellings
cottages of rooms, 105 tenements of 4
rooms, 1888 tenements of rooms
$3.50 of 2 rooms and 800 of / room.
Each room is well lighted and thor.
oughly ventilated, the cottages and ten.
ements have surrounding grounds; the
tenants range from bagmakers to cooks
from cooks to police and from police
to watchmen, with printers, typefound
ers, soldiers, watchmakers, letter car
riers and other callings sandwiched be
tween. The average rentals are 81
cents per week for one-room tenements
Is cents for two-room tenements, 81
cents for three and SLIGO for four-room
tenements, with slightly higher rates
for the individual five-room cottages
There Is care and there Is circumspec
ton over tenant and tenement. but
nothing whatever of espionage, nor II
any tenant treated with other thsI
respect.
OF the character of the tenants the
report shows that the average wages
of each head of family was $3.50
per week, with the average rental OF
each tenement $1.0S per week. AS t.
the sanitation of the dwellings and the
morale of the tenants the following
extract from the report will show the
facts:
The birth rate for the year reached
32.9 per 1000, which is 5.S per 1,O0t
above that of all London for the sam,
period. The death rate, including thu
deaths of sixty inhabitants of thu
buildings who were removed to hos
pitfalls, was IL per 1000, which is q
per LOO below the average of London
The infant mortality was 113 in eacl
1000 births. or 10 below that of Lon
