A Scots Sea SERPENT story.

Mr.. McNaughton, as his name signi-
fies, is Scotsman, and is consequent
ly scarcely likely to exaggerate. He
has been visiting Clevedon, in somer-
set, and relates the following story of
strange adventure, says Reynolds
Newspaper The incident was, he
says, witnessed ny many spectators.
Mr.. McNaughton was quietly rowing
in little skiff about a mile off the
Clevedon pier, when a large snaky OBJ
ject, which he describes as f'like a
huge mummy, with large sunken eyes
enveloped in a sort of hairy flap sud
denly appeared at the rear of the
boat, about 20 yards away.
It approached by a series Of leaps
and dives, causing the sea to be great
ly disturbed. Mr.. McNaughton says
that by plunging the oars into the surf
he endeavored to keep his antagonist
at bay.
But his efforts were only momentar-
lily successful. In few seconds it had
reached within a few yards of the
boat.
Il can only dimly recollect what
happened" he continued. THE fabby
monster seemed to leap straight out
Of the waters straight as an arrow at

THERE is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April in a
moment of frankpess explains the
whole opposition of physicians to pat
ent" medicines which are taken with
out prescription, in the following
words:
eve will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year $62,000,000 has been ex
pended on patent medicines in the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country a yearly
income of $4,000. In the face Of such
facts as these, all talk of love of hui.
manity, altruism, selfabnegation and
the like becomes cheap and nauseat
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the 'patent" medi
cine business is about $40,O00,O00 in.
stead OF $62,O00,O0O but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay of con 5iderably
less than 81 per capita for home meGi
cation. The cost Of doctors fees ex
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period
probably was approximately $23O,00O,
600. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each OF
the $4,000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that a gross
business of $62,0OOOO0 is to be divid
ed between 115.0O0 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
more than $40.

An Olive street florist says that we pride ourselves nowadays on the size of our carnations. but the florists of 5000 years ago grew carnations three to four inches across, as large as any that we see, and thought nothing of it. a All through Spain, southern France and Italy, the carnation is the favorte flower and has been for hun dreds of years, but along the Mediter- ranean there are few glass houses. for in protected situations and on south enr slopes of hills even delicate flow CTS crow outdoor al winter long and rbloona as freely at Christmas as in July

They may have grown just as large carnation flowers in Spain aS in England at that time, but in England there was record made of the fact and also of the size, while in Spain there was not.

become more accustomed to her sur- roundings, pushed aside the veil which had hidden her features. There was a decided murmur in the court room as the spectators noticed the striking re- semblance between the countess and the prisoner. The lines of her face were delicate, and the features daintily moulded, but these served to make the resemblance all the more striking
 Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, anoth- CT sister of the defendant, came in with the countess and there was lively craning of necks to catch the first glimpse of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, around whom the storm of the great trial will rage. She quickly appeared with May Mckenzie, the actress who has been her sole companion since the night of the tragedy, when the artists model wife of Stanford Whites slayer fled to Miss McKenzie's apartment. The younger Mrs. Thaw was dressed in dark blue and wore plain dark hat, which was almost entirely covered by white tulle veil. Not once during 
 but her features were plainly discern ible and there was about them much of the beauty which caused her to be so wildly sought as model by noted artists. Her dark mass of hair made a pretty setting for the ivory of her cheeks. She seemed to take the keen est interest in every question put to the talesmen and was constantly nod ding her head as if to give assent to some mental conclusion she had reach- ed. Hardly once during the day did Harry Thaw take his eyes from the front and look at his relatives His brother, Edward Thaw, and brother in-law. George Carnegie, sat almost at his elbow.
 The family party was escorted to waiting automobiles at the end of the day by squad of policemen. Quite a crowd loitered about the building to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Thaw and oth- CTS.
 Aside from the members of the fam fly, there were only four women in the court room, and these were newspaper writers.
 The attendance to-day was confined to newspaper people and jury talesmen , The jurors who remained in the box when the day was done and who were turned over to a bailiff, who will have them in charge until the end of the trial, were Deming B. Smith, a retired manufacturer of umbrellas, and Charles H. Feke, an employing teamster. Both men are married and have families Smith is about fifty-fve years old and Feke forty-five years

PERSONALITY IN A HorsE

A wonderful house is described very graphically in Appletons for February. It was built by the artists Louis C.. Tiffany, and is thus descibed in part:
 The house. half hidden in the na- tive woods of Cold Spring Harbor. is notable for many things, and they can be briefly expressed in three words. They are modernity, utility, beauty.
 ''The planning is frank and straight forward; the natural result of clear sighted understanding of things And there is romance and imaSlnation in it all. The perfume of the Orient and the horse sense of America, with it's revitalizing influence, are seen every where. By no means is it a rich mans house as we understand it to-day. be- cause the dollar does not appear. And as to beauty. the central court is a gom; possibly one of the beautiful pictures of the land, The rest of the house is plain. The strength and ma jesty of man prompted the outside, the delieacy and innate charm of woman characterizes the inside, and the gard en has charm all it's own.
 Refusing to yield to the imprison- men't of historic styles, because of the many phases so false to the ideals of our civilization and to his own under standing of true beauty, the painter determined to work alone and fight out the problem in his own way. With a dnvolritlo lnVe for activitv l1a daUot : ed himself to the labor of holding the hillside. to shaping the woods, and to the making of models. This struggling with the soil taught him many things; and the planning, scheming, eontriving and attaching led to his use Of local material to express his thou-hts, in many quaint and original methods and in this long fight for beauty he has won. The ground yielded him sand and gravel. Every tree that had to be cut down lived again in some part of theme. The study of the ground also led to the inception of the waterepurses and fountains that are romantic and appealing.

 Senate Committees Adverse Action on
 the Bill Granting Senator's Widow
 Pension.
 At the urgent solicitation of sena- tors Bulkeley and Brandegee, the sen ate committee at Washington, Jan, P, took a vote on the bill to grant Mrs, Joseph R. Hawley a pension of $lO0 per month, as widow of Senator and Brig adler General Hawley. The two sena- tors from Connecticut have long de- sired the committee to take some ac- tion on the bill and have been urging the committee to report it favorably, The committee has before it a number of similar bills, and did not want to establish a bad precedent, in reporting favorably bills for widows of officers whose incomes are already large.
 At the meeting yesterday it was, however decided to put the bill to a vote, and the result was adverse to a favorable report. Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee have been notified of the action of the committee and it is for them to determine whether to have the bill reported and put upon the cal ender or not, even though the com mittee report will be adverse. There might be a chance to bring the bill up and have it pass. The Connecticut senators could use the argument that Senator Hawley was on the retired list only few days and consequently re- eeived very little remuneration. Mrs Hawley did not receive the usual al-
