OF doing so, and that too at times
when no one would have q er suspect

tf Stylus Burlington on the morning of
the tragedy before daybreak for the
purpose of seeing about the purchase
OF some stock, and that he was not

and was delivered without any appar-
ent hesitation or nervousness.
The defense offered no other testi-
mony, and both the state and defense

President Castro Is LII

New York, Sept. ia dispatch
from Trinidad states that the critical
condition of President Castro is unfm.
proved. His mysterious sequestration
continues. President Castro. the dis.
patch declares, has performed no ad,
ministratiye act in two months. II
was on the day of General Castro'e
return to Caracas from his suburban
residence that he caught cold, which
was the beginning of his illness, and
which has developed malaria. The dis.
case proved stubborn, and soon the
most alarming reports began to cir
culate. 1t was said that the president
was at the point of death and despite
repeated official denials, the report
gained such general credence that Ca
racas dwelt in continuous alarm. 1t
is nowhere denied that despite the
adverse criticism of General Castro,
his powerful hand preserves peace in
Venezuela and that his untimely talk.
Ing off would plunge Venezuela into
civil war.

Ancient Salads.

The lettuce was deemed by the an.
clients the food of the dead because
when Adonis, the beloved Of Venus.
was mortally wounded by wild boar
the weeping goddess laid him upon
bed of soft and tender lettuce, whose
milky juice possesses soothing and mar
cotic qualities. Lettuce was eaten by
the ancients at the close of their re.
pasts, as from its cooling qualities
1t was considered an antidote to the
heating effects Of wine. The bitter
herbs which the Jews ate at the pass
over were wild lettuce, succory, tansy
camomile and dandelion, and this
same race are the inventors of the sal
ad compounded of oil, vinegar, sugar,
salt and mustard to render the bitter
herbs palatable. The Irish two centu
ries ago made their salads of sorrel,
wood sorrel and beet chopped with vim
egar, beer and little sugar, but no oil,
salt or mustard. Readers Of classic
history will remember how lettuce
caused the cruel death Of Cambyses,
king of Persia and Media, and of his
consort, who was also his sister.
