civil, but apparently insane, deliber-
ately butted his head through a sa-
loon window, fearfully lacerating him

strained he cut his throat with a

records show that considerably more than

down thirty and forty feet, and in other

highways were similarly treated. Homes

left high on the bluffs and others deep in

Pickles and vinegar Diet Fatal.
Pickles as steady diet, washed down
with copious draughts Of vinegar, caused
the death Of Miss Annie Gross 25 years
old, who was training to reduce her
weight. She dropped dead-the other day
in the bath room at the residence of her
brother. Adolph Gross, 200 Magnolia ave-
nue., and the inquest revealed the cause Of
her death.
Dr. ]. A. Hartman performed the post
norton examination and discovered that
the walls OF the girls stomach were al
most entirely eaten away. Never before,
he said, had he seen the walls Of a human
stomach as thin. He gave rupture OF the
stomach as the cause OF death, saying that
the vinegar and pickles made this possible.
The girls brother testified that Miss
Gross had been twitted about being so
stout, and that she decided to diet to re-
duce her flesh and avoid the jokes OF her
companions She refused to eat meats and
other heavy foods, and subsisted almost
entirely on pickles and vinegar She lost
flesh rapidly and in the end sacrificed her
lie.

Migratory Omaha Homes and Their Meanderin9S

until offers so large that refusal
was out OF the question were made,
the old homesteads were taken down from
their foundations, like the Haney house,
and carted away to a retreat on some out
lying lot. Here, rule, began their
social decline. At first painted, papered and
repaired they rented to householders Of
caste. Later, when age showed its deadly
hand for all that maintenance might do
they fell into the hands Of clearinghouse
mistresses and thence their decline was
rapid. The last phase was reached when
they became tenements for folk of indiffer-
ent standing in the community, and pride
rejoiced when the building inspector con-
demned them and had them reduced to
lumber bricks and mortar again.

to year or so ago a few were left in the
downtown district on lots not seized for
business purposes. The sale of the Haney
corner takes away the last good example
Of the transition period and leaves the
court house the only downtown building

Estate Exchange building, calls to notice
the fact that a certain kind Of blemish to
the appearance OF things in Omaha Is
rapidly disappearing. This is the yellow
clay crag, towering high above the level
of the street, and mounted by long flights
OF steps, usually implanted, leading to the
domiciles on the crests. In the old days
unfriendly visitors never failed to comment
on these unsightly excrescences, and the
hideous distortion of form, color and taste
they produced. The condition. however,
was essential to the creation of metro
polls on the Missouri river BLUFFS. and is
nearly thing of the past.
Casual observers seldom understand how
the yellow clay monuments and Ghe aerial
dwellings came about. They saw the
houses alongside were at proper level with
the sidewalk and pavement, and further
along. some much below the grade despite
the fact that the street line dipped to
the valley. They did not stop to reason
out that the thoroughfare they were walk
ing on would scarcely have been passable
had It not been cut down and built up to
a degree OF uniformity, and gradual ascent.

where the Charleston Lies.

To my mind Rio de Janeiro is one Of the
most beautiful cities of the world. The
harbor in which our man-of-war, the
Charleston lies waiting TO take Secretary
Root on down the coast. is surrounded by
great mountains with their tops in the
clouds. The mountains are covered with a
tropical vegetation from base to summit,
and they are of most curious shapes. One
rises out Of the sea like sugar loaf to a
height Of more than twice that of the
Washington monument; another is a mighty
hunchback, and others are great forts and
massive battlements. The harbor itself is
shaped Just like a pear, but 1t is 50 large
that all the ships Of all the world could
anchor there and have room to spare. It is
19a miles around 1t and the water is
almost everywhere over sixty feet deep.
The bay is dotted with islands which APP
pear to ioat, as It were. upon its diamond
studded surface.

In the DrazIIian stores.

The American delegates will bring pres
ents home for their friends, and 1 doubt
not Mrs. and Miss Root, and the other
American women of the party will spend
considerable time shopping in the Ouvidor.
They will pleLty to buy. The Brazil
ians are fond Of jewelry, and Rio is said
to be one of the best diamond markets
OF the world. Most of their stones come
from South Africa, although the mines
near Bahai are still producing fine dia-
monds. Among the purchases usually made
by foreigners are humming birds set as
jewelry. About Rio there are many such
birds of the most brilliant plumage, some
of which are no bigger than the first
joint Of your thumb and some hardly as
big as ones little finger. There are also
egrets and numerous beetles of iridescent
hues. One can buy beetles by the pint, of
such a kind that one set In gold forms
a beautiful scarfpin or earring.
queer thing about shopping in Rio is
the price mark. Silks sometimes sell for
10000 refs and cotton at 1000 reis or so per
yard. The sums seem enormous until one
learns that thousand reis are worth but
a few cents of our money, and that several
thousand go for dollar. During my stay
in Rio once took some gold coin to the
bank and got a million and quarter ries
in exchange This seems extravagant until
you know that II then took just that many
ries to equal $500.

families live in one room and negroes and
whites seem to herd together.
This is also the warehouse section. The
smell of coffee fills the air. and in some
of the wider streets long lines of carts
are moving back and forth loading and
unloading coffee bags. There are also fac
tories nearby where coffee is sorted, pol
ished and sometimes colored for the diff
ferent markets of the world. There are
coffee grains on the roadway with negro
women and boys down on their knees
brushing them into dust pans to save
them, and there are scores of half-naked
blacks and whites trotting from the
wagons and carts to the warehouses with
great bags on their heads Each bag

Hi. wife in the rrap.

Philip Rodney OF Centerville, Pa, a
prominent business man, discovered re-
Gently that his wife had been obtaining
spending money out of his trousers pockets
while he slept. He demonstrated with her,
but his wife insisted she had right to the
money.
Serious quarrels followed, but Mrs. Rod
ney kept getting the money. The other
night Rodney, determined to break up his
wife's practice, got a. small. strong rat
trap and placed 1t in his money pocket
with the jaws toward the opening.
He was awakened shortly after midnight
by his wife's screams. and. jumping out
OF bed, discovered her hand tightly wedged
in the sharp jaws OF the steel trap.
The woman begged TO be released, but
Rodney, she declared allowed her TO suf-
