bodies and produces what we call
life. 1t has shown that most all sick
ness and chronic disorders are due to
lack of electric energy.
Drugs do not help Nature. Nature
needs electricity, something that
builds up. Drugs contain no nourish-
ment-no electricity - just poison
which tears down.
My way of curing is to restore
electricity where it is needed, and
pain and sickness viii disappear.

gan is in strong, healthy condition
there can be no pain or sickness.
Wear Eleetro-Vigor while you
sleep. 1t feeds constant stream of
electricity to your nerves, and they
carry it to every organ and tissue of
your body, restoring health and vim.
Electro igor is a simple electric
appliance, 1t is NOT an eleetric belt,
1t never needs charging, for it
makes its own power continuously.

A LAKE OF FRE.-The Lake OF Wa
terloo is a phosphorescent sheet OF
water 1000 feet long, near Nassau, In
the Bahamas. At night 1t Is like a
sheet OF living fire II any wind Is stir
ring to ruffle its surface. ......
II the night be calm, says the Rosary
Magazine, the water lies dark and still
until some object sets it in motion.
Little colored boys are ready to swim
out into the lake, where they seem TO
be clothed in garments Of fire, leaving
long trail Of molten splendor behind
them. ... ........... .,"
The oars when rowing are as when
dipped in fire, and II one holds up a
handful of the water and lets II. fall
1t looks like beads Of gold, and the fish
that dart here and there, startled by
the visitors, leave flashes Of mystic,
glowing splendor behind them.
The clumsy turtles that move about
look like balls Of fire, and when 1t rains
the lake is like a mass Of jewels. This
marvellous display Of phosphorescence
has never been accounted for, as the
lake is of artificial formation, hav-
ing been made for the breeding Of tur-
ties by a Nassau resident. The bed
of the lake Is cut out Of solid lime
stone, and 1t is filled from the sea, in
which there is little Of the phosphores-
cent quality.

TOILING SWISS.
Families In Whose Homes Looms Have
Not Stopped For Years.

Families In Whose Homes Looms Have
Not Stopped For Years.
Americans often wonder how 1t is
possible for the Swiss to produce arti-
cles requiring so much hand labor
at such ridiculously low prices, says
Consular report. To understand
the question one must to a certain ex-
tent study the sociological side Of the
Of the peasant life. I am very much
impressed with the industry of the
people. OF course, during the sum-
mer their work is largely in the fields,
but the moment the crops are har-
vested and the wood cut and stored
for the winter the entire peasant
family engages itself in indoor work,
such as weaving or knitting on the
hand looms (always loaned to the
peasant by the large manufacturers
Of knit and straw goods). know per-
sonally Of one family Of peasants, and
this is not the least unique case, but
Is typical Of probably 76 per cent of
these peasant families, who work dur
ing the six winter months Of the year
at three looms weaving narrow silk
and cotton tapes. This family con-
sists Of four persons who are grown
up and seven children, whose labor
is available out Of school hours and
every winter for several years two of
the looms have never stopped night
or day except for oiling or the in
PRODUCTION Of new raw material. The
| third loom is run only during the day
| time by the younger children when
| home from school. These peasants
are industrious andsober people, and
am informed authoritatively are sat
isfied with a daily profit on the work
Of the entire II members of the fam
lily Of from SO cents to $1.34 per day
on their entire output for six months
Of winter. This Is characteristic OF
| the labor Of the Swiss and especially
Of the "unskilled" labor, which pro-
duces the straw and imitation straw
braids, enabling the Swiss manufac-
turers to ship to the United States In
spite of American duties, in competi-
ton with American workmen.

RULING PASSION STRONG In DEATI

RULING PASSION STRONG In DEATH.
-Rt. Rev. DR.. Chadwick, bishop OF
Derry and Raphoe, in a speech at the
synod of the Irish Protestant church
referred to the story Of a pickpocket
having been found dead with the
watch of a clergyman who had come
to attend him in his hand. The clergy
man in whose experience this strange
incident occurred was the Rev. w. H,
White, chaplain of the Savoy and
chaplain to the speaker Of the British
house of commons in the reign OF
Speaker Brand. ...
Mr.. White was aroused in the small
hours of the morning from his sleep
by a sick call when early in his min
istry he was q curate in a Brighton
parish. He was summoned to a bad
quarter Of the town and was led to
the bedside Of a man who was rapidly
sinking amid surroundings Of destitu-
tion and squalor.
The man passed away while Mr.
White was offering prayers in his be-
half, and Mr.. White, on arising from
his knees, discovered to his astontsh-
ment, that his watch had been remov-
ed from his pocket and was held tight
ly in the grasp Of the dead man.

The young woman fled In time, how
ever, and Is now In New Brunswick.
She knew she could not be extradited
from that province on a charge Of
conspiracy.
Sometimes the faker Is caught in
his own trap. Instead Of a pleasant
rest in an airy hospital ward, he suf-
fers occasionally actual injuries. Da-
vid Slutski was one Of these. He came
to this country from Russia to join the
army Of takers. After numerous at
tempts in this city to get sums Of
money from the transit company, he
tried to make graceful fall from a
car at Fifth street and Washington
avenue. He fell under the car and his
leg was crushed, necessitating ampu-
tation. Suing for $4,000. the tables
were turned upon him and he went to
jail for three years.
Abraham Rosenberg and Julius
Michael were confederates, but neith-.
er was anxious to get hurt. So they
would tie a corner Of handkerchief
into knot, roll 1t UP and snatch at
Il. The one who got the knotted cor
ner in his hand had to take q chance
with the trolley bucking. The last
time they played 1t, Rosenberg drew
the fatal knot. He sprained his wrist
lin dive from car and sought dam
ages. n..
To both men was traced series Of
fraudulent attempts to get settlements.
and they went up for three years.
But It is not so much this class Of
criminals as the shyster lawyers and
runners whom the detectives are now
after.

thought she would do that. This was

thought she would do that This was
not what occupied him the most. II
was the thought of her here alive and
more beautiful than ever. He recalled
how he had met her in Germany,
where she was travelling with her faith
er, and after a short courtship had
won her affections and married her
And then--but no. he could not think
ot that. She had been right in all that
she had said. And now she. was here,
like one risen from the dead, and his
passion famed forth more violently
than ever. She, she alone was his
lawful wife. And yet that other stood
between them.
while she lived!" ..
He stopped short, cold perspiration
broke out all over him, and he trem-
bled from head to foot.

Beatrice Graham's Tricks.

firing Of the merry whirl Of stage
life, pretty Beatrice Graham went in
t. partnership with John Mcintyre,
only one of the aliases Of a decadent
New York broker. He had her in two
collisions between ferryboats and bat
tleships in New York harbor, and was
by her side when she received a mys-
terious injury on the Third avenue
IL" They worked the foot caught
elevator trick, the slipping on ba-
mana peels game, the falling down de-
partment store stairs on crowded
days; in fact, every scheme that could
be- turned into a pleasing little suit for
damages.
Mcintyre got four years in Jail after
a fake suit against the transit COM
pany for an injury Miss Graham said
she had sustained when Reading
railway train struck a Girard avenue
trolley car in which she said she was
a passenger Then the detectives be-
came suspicious. They doubted that
she was on the car. and they doubted
that she was on the ferryboats.

Devices Of the Ambulance chasers
are many. They obtain entrance to
the homes of victims on the slightest
pretext. Their stock In trade Is abuse
of the company and the promise OF
large damages in return for signature
t. power of attorney papers. The poor
are ready accomplices, and willingly
consent to be laid up for a couple OF
weeks until the settlement is made.
Then they jump out Of bed and go
back to work.
But now each successful claimant
Ia closely watched like a suspected
criminal, and Il the poison Of easy
money-making has lodged in the ex-
victims ethical trait, more fake claims
are patiently waited for and charges
of conspiracy to defraud follow. But
not before the professional victim has
duped the claim agents several times,
II has been shown. In the last hVe
years nearly 100 persons have been
sent to Jail for periods varying from
two to five years.
Organized Bands.
Falling off the back platform OF cars
is the most frequent method or that
class Of victims who go so far beyond
the petty chicanery of the chasers as
tn work in organized gangs. who do
not stop at the wrecking OF cars TO
give color to the injuries which they
assume and sometimes actually re-
ceive. Some Of the cleverest work or
the agents who are fighting them is In
swapping photographs of men and wo-
men who have been confined to their
beds for life" when they sought settle
ments, but who are caught by the tell
tale camera in the act Of disporting
themselves in the surf at the sea-
shore, and In other active pleasures
and in the performing Of hard labor.
1t was the lot Of one young woman
to be crippled for life" Her rooms
were darkened and her friends were
not allowed to see her. The company s
physician was not deceived. A suit
was pending. One fine day the cam
mera took a good look at her when
she was out walking with the man
whom she had promised to marry. She
didn't get a settlement.
A man who was unable to move, ac-
cording to his legal adviser, was SIM
ilarly betrayed while shoveling dirt In
to a cart. He had sued for $4,000
damages.
