HEART JUMPED TO RIGHT SIDE
Is Now Well Again--Offer of conneoti-
 cut Physicians.


 Alive after her heart had jumped from the left to the right side of her bodv. never i'll a day since, although always in poor health before. Lillian Moog. 25 years of age who lives with her sister, Mrse. Catherine Young, at No. 764 East One Hundred and Fifty fourth street, has so interested physi- clans that she has been offered as much as $10,000 to bequeath her body at death to the medical world.
 The latest of these offers came from a Connecticut physician, who a year ago offered her 5000, but who yester- day doubled his price. Miss Moog, however, has been steadfast in her re- fusal to sell her body for any such purpose,
 It was three years ago that Miss Moog made the startling discovery that her heart suddenly had switched to her right side without any pain or feeling to her. She did not even know it had happened until she felt it beating there, and then, alarmed at the discovery she hurried to her physician, Dr. E. L. Corbett, of No 336 Alexander avenue, the Bronx.
 Dr. Corbett made an examination, and found the girl was right He be- came immensely interested in the case, and attended her constantly, and noted that, instead of being a weak, sickly girl, she rapidly was developing Into a tall, strong, healthy young woman.
 Although every effort was made to keep the matter secret, it leaked out from the circle of family friends, and quickly became known in the medical world.
 The girl has been besieged by phy- sicians, who have been trying to per suade her to let them make an exam ination in the interests of medical science. For two years Miss Moog has refused to submit even to this.
 Then the Connecticut physician of fered her 5000 to bequeath her body to him, but she decided that she would prefer to be buried without being dis. sected, and after doubling his offer yesterday and offering every argument he returned home disappointed.
 Miss Moog looks the picture of health She is bright and vivacious, and talked about her ease for half an hour yester. l day.
 T feel far better now than when m, heart was in its proper place." she said "As a child I always vas i'll, but now I am as we'll as I can be-
 T feel no bad effects whatever, and while I do not run about violently ol indulge in any vigorous exercises, I gC out every day and busy myself witt the work about the house.
 Dr. Corbett said he knew of only on, other such case.-N'ew York American

WHEREIN WINES DIFFER.

Just as it is a profound mistake to regard wine as mere mixture ot al- eohol and water, so is 1t equally erro- neous to assume that different wines possess identical properties, Alcohol apart, the physiological effects of champagne, claret, hook, port or sher- ry show variations which can only be ascribed to certain subtle and different constituents in these wines which chemical analysis so far has failed to elucidate with anything like complete ness. Broadly, we know that for one thing the stimulating ethers vary con- siderably in amount in different wines, and the same, to some extent, may be Isaid of the higher alcohols.
 Sherry, for example, contains more of these stimulating ethers than any other wine, and probably for this req son it has proved to be a valuable stimulant in disease, and especially so in the enfeebled nervous system of old persons. Good port is similarly valua- Ible, but this value is somewhat dis counted by the fact that it is compar- atively rich in coloring matters and i'll tastringent substances. Sherry has mild laxative action, while port may have effects quite the reverse of this. The keeping properties of sherry, whether it be of the light or heavy" itype, are notorious; 1t never turns sour, or grows mouldy, or loses it's del- ! icate almond-like flavor, It may be kept for months in an open decanter without deteriorating On the contra ry, it improves, and the peculiar bou- quet and flavor steadily develop. The reason of this is probably that sherry contains a notable amount of aromatic substances which, coupled with alco- Ihol, serve as antiseptics and preserve the wine against unfavorable changes. This receives some support from the fact that sherry is frequently used in the country of its production as an an- tiseptic application to wounds.
 Good claret has no keeping proper ties at all; 1t soon becomes sour and develops a mould, Claret in fact, is the most delicate of wines and re- quires careful handling and careful bottling Its delicate flavor is also easily spoiled, as by contact with to- bacco smoke, which, however, has no appreciable effect on the flavor of sher- ny. Sherry is also sharply distin- guished from other wines by the fact that it can be drunk as an accompani- ment to sweet dishes without its flavor being spoiled, or enjoyed even when smoking is indulged in. No one would think of drinking champagne, hook or claret in similar circumstances,
 Champagne, on the whole keeps afr ter it has been opened rather better than claret, owing most probably to the preseryative action of It's carbonic acid gas, but as soon as champagne ceases to effervesce 1t Is stale and un- interesting and soon turns sour. When uch different characteristics be- tween different wines are easily noted by the ordinary observer it is reasona- ble to conclude that each wine must possess it's own distinct physiological qualities.-Lancet.

CUT THE WILD CARROT.
It Is So Plentiful Along Country Roads
 it is Becoming a Menace.

1t is Becoming a Menace.
 T believe that you will do public service if you will call attention to the law requiring the destruction of wild carrot" said man who drives through the neighbomng country great deal, to reporter of the News.
 This weed, which is one of the rank est nutsances that grows he continued is becoming so plentiful along some of the country roads inthe neighborhood that it will soon be, if it is not already a menace to grass and other products of the farm. Steps should be taken at once to destroy every bit of the weed before it goes to seed and the seeds are spread broadcast over the fields to spring into life next season and in- crease the pest thousandfold I can not understand how farmers will pass the wild carrot along the highways bordering on their property or in their meadows and fields and neglect to de stroy it.
 The wild carrot is so much of a nuisance to farmers that special laws requiring It's destruction both along highways and upon private property have been enacted by the Legislature. Section 1,S67 of the General Statutes pertains to the wild carrot and its de- struction and provides a method of making complaint against those who permit the growth of the weed upon their premises and fixes severe penal ties for violation of the law. Anyone interested may take the matter up and compel the destruction of the weeds wherever they way be, but the matter is so much to the interest of every farmer that it seems strange to those who are not engaged in bucolic that the owners of farms do not see to it with out being compelled by law to do so, that the weed is stamped out whenever and wherever it appears.-DanIbury News.

 In the statement made by Joseph Degnan in the city court yesterday morning, members of the grievance committee of the striking switchmen were implicated as being present at the time of the assault on Harry Dexter in Keleher's saloon on George street, Thursday, in which Dexter, believing that he was to be injured, after he had been assaulted, drew his revolver and fired a shot into the air.
 The police put Degnan under arrest. He was later released under $500 bonds, while Dexter, who is stranger here, was unable to get ball and spent the night in jail.
 The case came up before Judge Tyner yesterday morning Tn the final war rants presented to the court Degnah was charged with assault and Baxter with breach of the peace When he was arrested yesterday Dexter was listed under the heading assault with intent to kill"
 Dexter and his lawyer, Sidney c. Rosenberg, were eager to take up the case, but Degnan wanted postpone ment. The significant thinig about Degnan's request for delay was, how ever, that members of the grievance committee were in the saloon where Dexter was attacked. Dagnan said, in talking to Judge Tyner:
 T haven't had time to get my wit nesses, and I can't get them here be- fore next week. My witnesses are members of the grievance committee ot switchmen and they left Thursday to | go to other points in New England They may be In New London, they may be in Boston, or they may be in some other city to-day. I can't get them here before next week.
 Acting City Attorney Hoyt spoke ot the seriousness of the case. He admit. ted that, although there were about 3Ot people in the saloon and on George street when the fighting wound up, ht had been able to secure only one wit ness. He said that while he was will ing to try the case he was also willing to have 1t continued. Lawyer Rosen berg asked that, if the case be contin ued, 1t proceed to trial thls morning but Judge Tyner decided to let 1t gc over until Monday. He fixed the bond of Dexter at $500, exactly the fgur Degnan is held under,
 Much interest is felt in the efforts o Degnan to induce the members of thu grievance committee to return to thi city and testify in the case, Dexte says he can identify the companions O Degnan, who helped Degnan attack hin and who threatened to kill him.

 It is expected that within a short time the subcommittee in charge of the memorial to James Beardsley, donor of beautiful Beardsley park to the city of Bridgeport, will throw open the com petition for designs of @ statue of Mn Beardsley to be placed in a prominent position in the park.
 At one time the members of the conn mittee, which comprises Judge Morris B. Beardsley George w. Wheeler, con- sidered the plan of a memorial arch instead of a statue. The plan was laid aside as impossible for an arch would be the most expensive form of a nen- orial, though it would undoubtedly prove the more pleasing and suitable. It was proposed to erect the arch at the entrance of the park, at Noble avenue. Collector Fred Enos, presi- dent of the board of trade, is chairman of the committee.
 The committee now has the sum of $10000 for the memorial Mt least S1,000 or $2,000 more is desired by the committee before starting the work.
 The competition for the plans of the statue of MT. Beardsley will be thrown open to all. Some time ago drawings by John Caveleti, artist, were offered to the committee Mir.
