Voices from the spirit world indi-
Gated to Mrs. Gulliford where the

explanation she gives. Martha the

ago that large sum of money was
buried at Chattanooga. The vision
returned again and again, she said,
and she was forced to believe that
she had a second sight.

WOMEN AS CHEMISTS.

at is inexpedient publicly to en-
courage women to adopt chemistry as
a professional pursuit.
In this concise way is expressed the
view of those members of the Chem
ical Society OF Great Britain who dis
approve of the proposal to allow
women to become members.
Out of 34O0 papers read on per-
sonal researches during the last th1r-
ty-five years only twenty-three have
been contributed by women alone.
There is a growing desire, however,
on the part of many of our leading
scientists to admit women chemists to
memb ership, and, as the wish has met
with the strongest opposition from
other members, the question is being
put to a ballot.
Nine Curie is at present the only
woman member, and she has been
made merely an honorary fellow,
with neither voting powers nor eligi-
bility for Office on the council.-Lon-

An Intelligent Turtle.

Ray Hadley and Thad Williams
think they have the most Intelligent
turtle in the world. The say that
though it can not talk, it can think.
The turtle was caught in a pond
near here and as each boy claimed
a share in it, they decided one should
keep the turtle two days and then
it should be turned over to the 9TH
er for two days. Yesterday the boys
forgot to transfer the turtle, and this
morning when young Williams went
to the turtles tub he found it gone.
Search was Instituted without sue
cess until this afternoon, when the
turtle was found endeavoring to
climb into the other tub, its home.
in the backyard of the Hadley home.
Evidently the turtle remembered the
date. and had crawled the entire
distance between the homes, which
is more than block, making the
trip by the alleys. the route always
adopted by the boys. 1t seemed
pleased. but almost exhausted. when
found.-Indianapo News.

REAUTY'S LAMENT.

The disadvantages of winning
beauty competition become evident in
ones morning mail. At least this is
the opinion of Miss Ivy Close, whom
a committee of nine English artists,
after considering $4,000 portraits,
recently acclaimed as the most beau
tiful woman in England, SURPRISING
the Chicago Tribune's standard bear
er of American pulchritude, Miss
Marguerite Frey.
Miss Close gave utterance to sew
eral sapient remarks about that time,
recommending as an aid to the
achievement of beauty, tea, coffee,
lobster, and cucumber for internal
application, and ANY nice handy
soap" for external use. This will
ingness to divulge her secret has
brought her the diurnal correspond
ence which she now finds burden.
"If you had raven-black hair and
brown eyes, would buy you a dark
red or a sky-blue dress?" wrote one
beauty seeker. rs it really true that
coal dust is good thing to clean
your teeth WITH" another anXiously
asked. One lady demanded to know
whether Miss Close believed in boiled
milk taken the last thing at night
a test of faith to which the advocate
of lobster and cucumber could pro-
pound no solution.
Miss Close has also received letters
of a connubial nature from strange
gentlemen. Il am handsome and
thoroughly domesticated," wrote one
correspondent. Il would never stay
at the club after one o'clock in the
morning, do not drink, never smoke
in the drawing room," etc.-the last
word being evidently an instance of
elastic currency. Another sutton was
more original. 81 am awfully busy
this week." he wrote, ''but all the
same am frightfully keen on marry
ing you. 1 shall have an afternoon
off on Tuesday next; if you have
nothing better to do, don't you think
we might get married ?"-Har-

THE PALE GIRL

In cold weather some people think

what it was to be real well. Took
medicine but it never seemed to do
any good.
Since being married my husband
and l both have thought coffee was
harming US and we would quit, only
to begin again, although we felt 1t
was the same as poison to US.
Then we got some Postum. Well,
the effect was really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now, headache
gone, and I have a great deal of en-
ergy I had never known while drink

Il haven't been troubled with indi-

Power From The Mines

A central plant of 5000
power is about to be erected i.
midst of the bituminous coal fl.
of Indiana. 1t is believed that a
large saving of expense, especially
for transportation of coal, can thus
be effected. 1t is intended to dis
tribute the power over a wide terri
tory direct from the mouth of the
mines. The distance from the plant
to indianapolis will be about 100
miles. This will involve a small loss
of power in transmission, repairing,
according to the calculation, an in
crease of about 10 per cent. in the
amount of coal consumed above what
it would be if the coal were burned
at the points where the power is
used. But the saving in other re-
spects is expected to much more than
counter-balance this slight disadvant-
age.

The Opium Trade.

When, in -1776, the East India
Company took charge of the trade.
which was the real beginning, except
in a small way, of the importation OF
opium into China, it was bitterly op-
posed by the Chinese Government,
and opium smoking was punished
with severe fines and penalties. In
1889 proclamation was issued
threatening hostile measures If the
English ships serving as depots were
not sent away. In the same year the
Chinese Government destroyed over
10000 chests of opium. The British
continued to smuggle, against the re-
monstrances OF the Chinese Govern
ment, and outrages on both sides led
to war, which was ended by the
treaty of Marking in 1912.
