She became run down in health, and at
times was very feverish, lGnguid, and

alone. In spite Of the cold weather

Saw a Red Sea Serpent.

Long Lake has a serpent. Upon
the authority of four women and one
man the word has gone forth that the
placid little lake is the home Of a
monster about as long as good-sized
street is wide, with the head of an
alligator, the neck Of turtle and a
dark red skin.
The serpent made it's first appear
ance at the lake a week ago, when II
was seen by William Delevan, of this
city, a fisherman. AS Delevan re-
turned to the city minus his bait after
seeing the sea monster, his story was
scoffed at until Sunday afternoon,
when the monster made its appear
ance again.
This time four women-Mrs. Clara
Wheatley and her daughter, Elise, OF
No. 702 Grace street, and Alma and
Ellen Arnold, of No. 704 Grace street.
had an experience on the lake.
According to the women, the SER
pent appeared less than Ave feet from
their boat, raised its head above the
water, blinked at them two or three
times, and then, apparently fright
ened by the screams of the women,
took a quick dive to the bottom OF
the lake. 1t has not been seen since.

The ceremonies attending the ac-
cession to the throne of the new king

hlties,in that the new monarch was

king has ever assumed the right to
wear it or has put it on his head. But
the ceremonies lost nothing Of their

president of the Chamber of Peers an
nounced the ancient formula, I'VE sa.
Lutte the very high, very powerful and

afterward repeated from the grand
balcony to the applause Of the popu-

Canine Intuition.

A railroad eating house in Southern
Georgia, which enjoys the reputation
of being one of the worst places Of
it's kind in the State, has an ancient
darby who announces dinner to the
incoming passengers by ringing q
huge bell.
One day the old negro was accom-
panied by a sad-eyed, long-eared
hound, who at the first ringing of the
bell, lifted up his voice in a most dis
NAL howl.
The old darby stopped and gazed
at him for a moment, and with q
"Hush yer mouth" started ringing
again.
Again the old hound with nose IN
the air sent forth long-drawn howl
This was too much for the bell
ringer, and, turning on the hound, he
remarked:
"Now, what in de worl is YOU
maxim sech a fuss erbout? You dom

when Is a pressmnker an ArtIst9

When is a dressmaker an artist aad
when mere workwoman? Nine.
Azenor claimed in the courts that she
is an artist, and the courts have de-
cided that she is. She was "premierN"
at a ladies' tailor's, and was div
charged without notice as mere
workwoman. She was hurt, not only
in her pocket but in her feelings, as
she is an artist, and consequently an
employe, and therefore it seems en-
titled to one months notice according
to law. The Court went into the mat
ter and found that Dame Azenor"
was employed ito create models" ID
the discharge of her duties she was
called upon "to frequent race meet
ings, theatres and concerts, and to
consult engravings and prints.
Truly, in the workshop she made up
her models, or rather, as the Court
put Il, in grander language, realized
her conceptions" with her own hands.
But In so doing she did not discharge
the duties of a mere workwoman.
She "did the work of an inventor, and
one may say to certain extent that
of a creative artist" Once the mod
els were built up by her own hands
and brains, the mere manual labor
was left to workwomen. Therefore
Dame Azenor, who realizes her con-
captions, is entitled to full months
salary, Sic. The legal precedent now
laid down that premiere" is an
artist has duly impressed the world

mounds, was admitted, and 1t acted
Instantly to relieve pain and to pro-

told to open the throttle valve and
let the pressure out 80 that he might

ticed that the temperature was gradu-

known as the dew point, he was en-
veloped in fog. The pain returned
about this time, so that he shEt of

summer influenza Endemic.

A sudden epidemic of summer influ-
enza broke out in London. One of the
most marked characteristics of this
epidemic is the fact that its victims
are mainly those who resisted the
more virulent attacks of the disease in
the winter. The effect of summer in
fuenza is short, but severe. In most
cases the first symptoms are gastric
pains, soon followed by bodily pains
and headache. The temperature rises
rapidly in the first stages Of the at
tack. This is succeeded by fall to
a temperature well below the normal.
Severe pains in the throat are added
to the other symptoms. When the first
effects have been thrown Off, great
weakness follows, and persons are as
much run down as after many weeks
OF ordinary illness. Isolation, COM
plete rest in bed, and the simplest pos
sible diet are recommended to suffer
ers by medical men.-London Stand

told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l would not be-
lieve 1t, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stoI
coffee and try Postum. After much
hesitation concluded to try 1t. That
was eight months ago. Since then ]

Terrapin and MuSkrat.
BY j. w. d.

Those who pay large prices for So
called "terrapin" at hotels and res
taurants, to say nothing of sumptuous
private establishments furnished by
caterers in respect of their more pre-
tentious banquets, may have heard
and been more or less distressed by
the rumOr, now rapidly spreading,
that "terrapin" nowadays is often II
not generally represented in the flesh
by muskrats. Formerly bob veal'
and chicken livers played very i'm
portant part in the concoction of this
expensive dish. Cream sauce, sherry,
slider" eggs and other condiments
made up the masquerade. But the
muskrat to-day is supposed to con-
tribute the real substance, and many
squeamish persons are thereby trou-
bled in their minds.
l want to say, however, that there
is no real occasion for all these pangs
and apprehensions. 1t Is true enough
that the rumors in question are
founded upon fact, but 1t is not true
that any one, even the most hnicky
epicure, need balk at the muskrat in
its capacity as an edible. 1t is an
ugly name enough, no doubt, but as q
matter of fact the animal itself is the
very cleanest and most dainty feeder
in the whole kingdom. The muskrat
eats only she'll fish, succulent roots
and things of that kind. Moreover
the muskrat invariably washes every.
thing with the utmost care. 1t builds
two or three story houses for the &C
commodation of its winter commissa.
rlat, but always after the most in.
dustrious cleansing of the food sup.
ply to be stored therein. Indeed, II
we were notified in advance and made
acquainted with the real qualities oil
the muskrat there would be no serious
revolt against the substitution. What
judicious persons complain of-and
with justice--is the attempt to de-
ceive them and prey upon their limo
cent credulity. Muskrat is muskrat
and a mighty good thing for those
who like 1t. But terrapin, properly
cooked, is very different matter.
