Common Sense h Diet.

As man, was created for a varied and mixed diet. he has abundant op- portunities for selecting his food and supplying his individual needs. In most cases appetite is the surest guide to healthy digestion and proper nourishment. This certainly is the common sense view that must appeal to all rational feeders: Eat with reg ularity and in accordance with the de- mands of hunger such dishes as have always been regarded as innocuous. and remember that. as a rule. it is neither meats nor bouillon nor wine nor spices nor coffee which poison us. but their abuse"

How the Pendulum was Found.


 Like many of the commonest me chanical instruments in daily use, the invention of the pendulum Is due en- tirely to chance. Calico, when un- der 20 years of age. was standing one day in the Metropolitan church of Pisa, while some painters were at work on the ceiling of the church. A suspended lamp which was hanging before the altar was disturbed In some manner, and the scientist was struck with the almost perfect reg ularity with which 1t swung back and forth. The idea of measuring time by such an instrument found instant gen. eration in his brain. and he completed the system in use to this day.-Sun- day Magazine.

There are sufficient people in Eng. land and Scotland paying the annual tax imposed by the inland revenue upon the use of armorial bearings to produce sum of s350.0oo each year. The great bulk of this sum is paid by people who care not an atom either about their family or their arms, but pay the tax regularly simply because they have carriages or plate herald ically decorated. The really old fam flies of the realm, however. use ar morial emblems for decorative pur- poses to an extent almost incredible in the eyes of those familiar with them only on note paper. table silver and carriage panels.

ANTIQUES WITH AN AXE.

Pioneer Importer oT Tapestries and for
Forty Years q Buyer for hich New
Workers Crossed the Atlantic Forty
Times OFTEN Advised Customs Ofncials
Obadiah Lum Sypher. one OF the pioneer
dealers in antiques in this country, died
yesterday at his home nc 50 East Park
street, East Orange. in his seventy-fourth
year. He had been a sufferer from heart
trouble for some time and returned only
last Friday from a two months trip to
New Hampshire, where be had been trying
to regain his strength.
Mr.. Sypher was born in Flushing, l.. I.
When few years old his father, Abran
Sypher, moved TO Orange county, and the
boy after getting the ordinary education Of
those days entered a country store. His
ambition, however, led him to New York
and when ri years old he came to this city
and entered the employ OF Daniel Marley,
Q dealer In cheap antiques, who had a store
in lower Broadway. After he had been with
Marley two years he bought him out and
started to run the business as he thought II
should be run, taking in Henry X. Tresdwell,
until then Of Tiffany h Co, as a partner.
The business Of dealing in antiques took
on a new aspect with the starting OF the
new Arm. IL is related OF sypher that II
he bought a piece Of furniture which he
found out afterward to be bogus he would
take IL out on the sidewalk and put il out
Of circulation with an axe. This gave him
. great reputation for honesty. and people
felt that IL Sypher vouohod for an antique
II must be all right.
II is believed that he was the first New
York dealer TO import tapestries. He inn
ported the Barberlni tapestries from the
Barberlni palace In Rome, which were owned

He onoe went Into a ruined palace In Italy In
which the walls were black with age and
dirt. Going up TO u wall. he brushed on
some of the dirt and saw that underneath
were some magnificent tapestriee.
How much do you want for these?' he
inquired OF the owner. He was named
well. I will give you $4,000 for them
said Sypher. He brought them with him
70 this country. had them CLEANED and sold
them at good profit; The tapestries
Heights were bought at his suggestion,
Mr.. Sypher crossed the Atlantic forty
times gathering articles Of value from
various parts OF Europe.

would tell to his intimate friends. His
advice was sought continually on the fur
nishing Of homes and evidence OF his work
may be found in many Fifth avenue man
sion. He was called upon almost daily
by the Custom House officials to decide
on the value Of antiques.

TO SAVE THE PEARL CROP.
Dealers Say supply Is Failing and Radical
Measures Are Needed.

FVeoutV NV ENNvucus
Pear dealers of the Maiden lane district
are starting a movement TO save the West
ern pearl fisheries from destruction threat
ened because there Is now no restr ction
on the fishermen who are taking from
the rivers tons Of mussels. from which
only a few pears are obtained. II is pro-
posed also to restock some Of the rivers.
Eastern and Western, from which the
mussels have been exterminated. Pc
tition was sent to Washington recently
asking for an investigation Of present
conditions affecting the mussels in the
Western rivers and the feasibility Of estab-
fishing hatcheries in which the fish may
be propega tad. as in the case Of various
Ards Of food fieh
The men in the movement have received
assurances that a report ON this subject
will he presented after an investigation
Of the pre- ent fisheries is made. The
inquiry a ready p under way. the Federal
commissioners having started in a launch
TO make an inspection along the Miss ssippi,
Wabash and White rivers. The dealers
also hope to obtain by Federal or STATE
laws. or both, a restriction on tho activity
of the pearl fishers so as to protect the
mrssels from what is termed promiscuous
The dealers agree that although 800
OF 1000 men are looking every day for
pearls in the upper Mississippi and the
Wabash rivers, now the most promising
fishing grounds, yet less number Of round
pearls are being received in New York
than in any preceding year. Even in
baroques. the irregular shapes Of pearls,
the supply is said to be failing. Baroques,
which a few years ago were allowed to lie
along the river banks, not being esteemed
Of any value, have been growing in demand
Of late. They are used especially in the
cheaper kind Of jewelry.
The Maiden lane wholesale dealers
divide these irregular and eccentric shaped
pearls into different classes according to size
and iustre. selling the assortments by the
ounce. The Chinese buy the baroques of
the finest texture and lustre and pulverize
them for use in medicine.
The fishermen prefer to sell mussel shells
TO the pearl button factories, and many
fine pearls are destroyed in the process
Of heating the mussels to get them out Of
the shells

WILL FIDDLE TO UNION RULES.
Director Paur OF Pittsburg Orchestra Makes
Terms with Musical Union.


PITTsBURo, Aug. Is.-Organized labor
has triumphed over art and when the famous

mitted to take up his tools.
Emil Paur, the conductor and director,

and one Of the most prominent members Of
the orchestra, Henry Bramsen, the famous

fused TO take any part in the fight. declaring
that the matter was entirely in the hands

SHORT LINE WILL LOAD WOOL.
Bolts Agreement Trans-Missouri
Freight Bureau.

Says the Pocatellp Tribune:
The question of whether or not the
railroads will continue the practice
OF loading wool on the trains in, be-
balf of the buyers and growers has,
it is understood, been decided ad-
vorsely by the trans Missouri freight
bureau, which has jurisdiction over
common point traffics in this local
ity Instructions have been received
at some of the local railroad agen-
cies that such action was taken by
the convention just held at Kansas
City, and that in accordance there
with the roads cannot do otherwise
than refuse to load the wool.
Heretofore, and for 10 years, 1t
has been the practice on the part of
the railroads to send out men to re-
ceive wool, for buyers at the differ
ent shearing pens along the line Of
the western roads. The duty of
these these agents was to receive the
wool from the growers, weigh and
check the same, mark the sacks,
make the invoice and pay the grower
by means of a signed blank draft left
with him for that purpose by the
buyer. This system enabled the
grower to dispose Of his clip at the
time he had it ready to ship, and
there was no trouble and no delay
as far as he was concerned. The
new ruling of the freight bureau
does away with all this. except the
receiving and weighing of the wool,
which, of course, must be handled by
the roads representatives as is the
case with all other shipments. But
the grower must now wait until the
buyer can get to his particular lot Of
wool in order TO receive it, and there
will be a great deal of relay in many
cases. as the buyers cannot be every
where at once. The hardship will
necessarily, therefore, fall largely on
the wool grower.
The Oregon Short Line, however,
will not abide by the ruling of the
freight bureau, and has officially no.
titled Chairman w. A. Poteet of the

In an interview with Assistant Gen.
eral Freight Agent Tuttle yesterday
morning, that gentleman said that
the Oregon Short Line had decided
to take independent action in this
! matter, and would. as heretofore,
weigh and check wool and give the
shipper a clean bill of lading on his
shipment.
