POLICE METHODS IN WARSAW.
Arrested All the Men Of a Certain
Name and Imprisoned Them.


Name and Imprisoned Them.
Sherlock Holmes would not fnd
much to praise in the methods en-
ployed by the Warsaw police when try
ing to trace criminals. An instance OF
their brilliance is now making all those
not Immediately concerned therein
laugh. Some time ago Mr.. Hautke,
manufacturer, was shot while leaving
his works, and the murderers could
not be found.
The other day rumors ran through
the town that one of the criminals was
named Malicki. The police heard this
rumor, obtained the addresses OF all
males in Warsaw bearing this name
from the municipal address bureau,
and arrested them without delay.
Then they sent for the murdered
mans relatives, confronted them with
some hundred Malickis in turn, and
asked, us this the man who murdered
Mr.. Hautke?" AS none OF Mr..
Hautke's relatives was with him at the
time of the murder, their answers were
without exception, Il cannot say, and
they were finally dismissed.
But the Malickis were not so fortu-
nate, and are still under arrest pending
further inquiries. Some of them begged
the relatives to say they were implicat-
ed in the murder, so that they could at
least be let out on bail. AS 1t is,
though they declare they know nothing
of the crime, they are packed in cells
like herrings in barrel, and are like
ly to remain there till the real culprits
appear.
The incident sounds more like one

the Malickis VOW they will employ

News in Turkey.

The Turkish papers have published
heir version of the tragic death OF
Dom Carlos, of Portugal. In the Le-
want Herald we read that the King and
the Crown Prince died on their way
back to the palace after an excursion"
The STEAMBOAT says: Dom Carlos is
dead. His son Manuel has succeeded
the throne. There is. therefore, no
change in the destinies of the coun-
try" And this, of course, is in ac-
cordance with the traditions of the OF
toman press, which is never allowed
by the censor to odmit that any chief
of any State or any member of any
royad family has died violent death.
1t stated that Alexander, of Servia,
and Queen Draga died of indiges-
ton at the dead of night" that Presi-
dent Carnot succumbed to Chill"
and that Empress Elizabeth, of Aus
tria, had a sudden attack of apo
plexy on one of the steamboats, on
the Lake of Geneva"-Westminister

Japanese Banking Episode.

"After fruitless efforts to obtain
payment" says the Shanghai News In
all seriousness, "a committee repre-
senting about 1900 depositors of the
Chiyoda bank of Japan has sent a
written request to Viscount Hori,
president of the institution, asking
him to commit harakiri as an act OF
expiration"
Did an old or new civilization ever
more Enthusiastically meet? Here the
whimsically grave contrasts are infin-
itely more picturesque than the mere
anachronisms of the Mecca trolley car
pilgrimages or the photograph con-
certs in the Sultan's seraglio.
We do not know how the Japanese
harakiri statute runs, but we should
think that Viscount Hori would get an
order of court before complying with
the depositors' request. Although
this would probably be only formal
ity, a man in his position cannot be
too careful about such little things

Then one day mother asked Uncle
Nat to get bottle of chloroform at
the druggists. which she left on the
mantel-shelf in plain sight.
Father asked where the bottle Of
chloroform came from, and what IL
was for? Grandmother said it was
very careless of some one to leave a
bottle of chloroform round like that
where any one could get it.
Aunt Caroline asked who was go.
ing to use the chloroform.
Uncle Nat said he was willing tc
buy it, and had done his part, and II
any one thought he was going to kill
cats with it he was mistaken.
The day was Thursday, Susan's day
out. The family had gone for drive,
all except mother, who had a motive
in remaining at home. 1t was now
or never. With the light of resolu.
ton in her eye and her lips pressed
firmly together, with a bottle and
sponge in one hand and cats in her
apron, she started for the barn.
Pursuing her lips more tightly still,
she gathered up more cats as she
went. Then she shut all she had in
an empty box, which was to serve as
an execution chamber, and went in
search of more cats. Two more were
added; none was spared. The sponge
was saturated and thrust into the
box, and the executioner fed to the
house without once looking back.
When father came home and found
what had been done he was amazed.
He wouldn't have lost the cat named
Punch for anything, and he had al
ways regarded Punch as his own cat,
and Punch was first-class ratter.
Grandmother also evinced surprise
at what had happened, and said she
should always mourn the cat named
Judy, for Judy was such a ladylike
cat, and could always have a corner
l. her room to sleep in, for Judy was
never in the way nor the least bit OBJ
jectionable.
Uncle Nat said he wouldn't have
taken any money for Topsy, as he
regarded Topsy as his especial prop
erty, and the likeliest cat in the
bunch.
Aunt Caroline said it WIS bad luck
to kill black cats, and she couldn't
think of anything she was so SUPER
stitious about as black cats.
Susan said she wouldn't have killed
even one black cat for all the money
on earth, and that she should be
afraid to stay now, anyway, and
couldn't wait till her month was up,
either.
Mother hadn't word to say for
herself. That night black cats stared
at her out of the darkness, and once
she awoke from a nightmare of pur-
suing cats, an army of them, and
thought she heard them wailing-the
spirits Of the cats she had chloro.
formed
At daybreak she rose from her bed,
dressed herself, and descended to
the kitchen-and there on the back
doorstep, peering through the screen
door as usual, unhurried and ex-
pectant, were the six black cats,
waiting for their breakfast.
I'm so glad didn't put rock on
the top of that box!" said mother.
She gathered them in as If they had
been prodigals, and all six of them
had the breakfast of their nine o.
more lives.

Some people arc thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number Of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed OF
fat.
Fat Is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion Of fat is mainly, If not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton Of acid. A hyperacidity Of the
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is a ca.
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity Of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, If the process Of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pan
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose Of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. BY
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat q
sufficient amount Of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

ALIVE IN CAPSIZED VESSELS.


A striking example of one among
fhe many strange accidents that be-
fall sailors was reported the other
day from Newcastle, New South
Wales.
The barkentine Kate latham
turned turtle in a gale, and one of her
crew was shut up in her hold. The
survivors, who had climbed on her
keel as she heeled over, naturally
took it for granted that he was
drowned. What was their surprise
therefore presently to hear faint
knockings from beneath their feet,
evidently made by their imprisoned
comrade.
Help was at hand, and a hole was
cut through the ships bottom, when
the man was hauled out, little the
worse for his terrible experience. He
had, it appeared, been kept alive by
the air which had been imprisoned
in the hull when the vessel capsized
and which, becoming compressed as
the water rose, had eventually
stopped its further encroachment. He
had used balk of floating timber to
support himself.
His Imprisonment lasted for two
hours, and in the cabled reports sent
to this country the incident is char
acterized as unparalleled. This, how
ever, is by no means correct. There
are several cases on record of men
having lived in similar circumstances
in the huks of capsized ships not
hours only but days, the most re-
markable authenticated instance be-
ing that of Captain Engallandt, of the
Erndte, who was rescued alive after
an entombment lasting altogether
eleven days eighteen hours.
During this period the derelict,
drifting bottom uppermost, was sight
eo by the masters of several vessels,
all of whom, however, passed nom
chalantly by, none imagining for a
moment that the semi-submerged and
capsized hulk contained, shutup in its
vitals, living man.
Eventually the Erndte drifted
ashore near Danzig, and Captain En-
gallandt was taken out alive, al
though greatly emaciated.-Pearson's
Weekly.

Money is being raised in Japan to
restore the monument of Will Adams,
the first English resident of that
country and the founder of the jap
anese fleet. No fiction of adventure
is more romantic and seemingly i'm
probable than is the story of this
Kentish pilot of the seventeenth CEN
fury. Mr.. Lafcadio Hearn, in one of
his books on Japan, tells the tale of
the young Englishman's rise to for
tune.
In 1900 Will Adams arrived in
Japan in command of a Dutch ship.
Adams had partaken of many a sea
adventure, and had probably been
brought in contact with Hawkins,
Drake, Sir Richard Granville and the
other celebrated veyagers of that day.
He says himself, in his account of his
life, that he SERVED for Master and
Pilot in her Majestie's ships"
On landing in Japan, Adams was
taken prisoner and sent to Osaka to
the great Emperor Iyesyasu.
"As soon as I came before him he
demanded of what countrey we were, ="
says Adams. $50 I answered him on
all points. He asked whether our
country had wares. 1 answered him
to the countrey. Having chart of
the whole world I showed him
through the Straight of Magellan. He
viewed me we'll and seemed to be
wonderful favorable"
The Emperor attached Adams to
his personal service, and later we
read of the late pilot teaching his
royal master Geometry and under
standing of the art of mathematics.
Adams was we'll provided for, and
commanded to build ships for deep
sea sailing. Before long he was Gre
ated Samurai, and an estate was given
him.
Surely no romance of that romantic
age was stranger than the rise of this
plain English pilot, with only his
simple honesty and common sense
to help him. He was in such extra
ordinary favor with the greatest and
shrewdest of Japanese rulers that we
read in a contemporary account:
''The Emperor esteemeth hym much,
and he may goe in and speake to hymn
at all times when Kynges and Princes
are kept out"
Adams only cause for regret in his
elevation to fortune was the fact that
he was never allowed to visit his ma
tive land. His services were regard
ed as too precious to be spared. The
Emperor never refused him anything
but this one privilege, and Adams
did not dare to urge the matter too
hard, for, as he writes, when / asked
one too many times the Ould EN-
perour was silent"
