ouarternary Bears.

The excavations for the Under
ground railways Of Paris has Yielded
s goodly array of additions to4

ELIJAH DOWIE INSANE.
Founder of Zion Loses Senses While
Delivering an Address.

Chicago.-John Alexander Dowie,
the founder of Zion City, went raw
ing mad while delivering a sermon
to a few faithful of his flock. Little
hope is entertained of his recovery.
Unless he improves he will be taken
70 an insane asylum, where he will
probably spend the remainder OF his
lays.
While it was known that his mind
had been failing for some time, his
seizure was most dramatic. Elijah
Ill.," as Dowie is popularity known,
preached in Shiloh House in the even
ing to about 200 of his followers.
He had not gone far before his audi
tors saw that something unusual was
the matter with the white-haired old
man.
The audience was dismissed with.
out further ceremony and the news
quickly spread through Zion that the
former autocrat of the city was hope
lessly crazy.

IA POISON EATER.

There is now living at Constantinople a very extraordinary character known throughout that city by the name of "solyman, the eater of corrosive sub- Innate" says a quotation from the Times of 1906. He is now 1O6 years old, and in his youth he accustomed him. self like all the Turks, to take opium, but after increasing the dose to great extent, without the wished effect, he adopted the use of sublimate, and had taken daily, for upward of thirty years, 50 grains.
 He some time since went into the shop of Turish Jew, to whom he was unknown, and asked for a drachm of of water and swallowed in an instant sublimate, which he diluted in a glass. The apothecary became greatly alarmed lest he should be accused of poisoning the Turk his astonishment may be con- ceived when the next day the Turk came again and asked for a similar dose.
 Lord Elgin S. Smith and several gentlemen now in England, continues our century old authority, have con- versed with this extraordinary charac- ter; have heard him declare that the happiness he derived after swallowing that active poison was greater than he experienced by any other means."-i South China Post.

A LONG STEP FORWARD

If the charges that have been made against some of the great packing in- stitutions of the country contain even the germ of truth, the regulations made by the Secretary of Agriculture, stringent as they may be considered by the packers, and destructive of div idends as they unquestionably are are none too stringent to meet the neces- sites of the case. The rules adopted are rather better than one would have expected from the lukewarm attitude of congress toward the reform, and many persons will believe that they can see the influence of Professor Wi | ley, who Is unquestionably in deadly earnest in his desire to protect the public from unwholesome food, behind the hand of the secretary.
 In any case the regulations are a long step forward, and it is to be hoped will result in the good that will be generally anticipated from their promulgation. They seem to meet the case as fully as the law permits, and whatever defects may be found in them can doubtless be traced to the
 provisions of the law itself,New Or leans Times Democrat.

 The young woman arose hastily, and walked into the other room. Pa, she said MT. Smith wants to see your new gun"
