DEAD WOMANS HONELOOTED
Widows House Robbed in PhiIa-.
deIphia and Death Unexplained.
Furs, Gowns and Old Masters OH
Painting Are Among the
Objects Missing.

u ID
philadelphia has been learned
that $4,000 worth of jewels, furs,
gowns and masterpieces of art disap-
pesred from 1899 North Broad street,
the home Of Mrs. George Wood, rich
widow, who was found dead there on
October IS.
The disappearance of the yaluables
and the cause, of the woman's death
are equally mysterious. Her body
had lain in the house at least day
when it was discovered by an employe,
of the American District Telegraph.
A copy of Leonardo Da Vinci's fa-
nous Mona Lisa, picture not
more than ten inches long, is missing.
Il This painting was the rarest and
best in the wealthy Widows collec-
ton. Once she placed a valuation of
$4,000 upon it, Other valuables
known to have been in Mrs. Woods
possession and now said to be missing
include:
A topaz pendant, which was recent
ly reset by Tiffany at cost of $500;
pair of black pearl earrings, a
bucklet set with diamonds, a set of
rubies, which Mrs Wood was heard
shortly before her death to declare
she had refused to sell abroad for
100000; seven necklaces, among
them two of great WORTH diamond
crescent pin, which in her will she be-
queathed to the Countess Sormanni
Moretti, of Venice, Italy; pearl and
diamond crescent; several old-fash.
toned jewels, heirlooms of Mrs.
Woods mother; one ermine opera
cloak; a number of Paris hats, gowns
and quantity of lingerie.
Thus far all efforts of the dead
woman's friends and the executors of
the estate to trace the missing vaiu-
ables or ascertain who might have OBJ
tanned possession of them after her
death have proved unavailing.
1t was popularity of the dead
woman that her effects were kept in
great confusion
Since her death valuable ornaments
have been found in trunks, tucked be-
hind sofa cushions, and poked in out
of the iway corners.

Rheumatism Prescription.

Considerable discussion is being
caused among the medical fraternity
by the increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism. 1t is an almost infalli-
BILE cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken properly.
The following formula is effective:
ITO one-half pint of good whiskey
add one ounce of Toris Compound
and one ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla
Compound. Take in tablespoonful
doses before each meal and before re-

CURIOUS FLORIDA HERE.
Red Plant That Feeds Upon Ants and
Other Very Small Insects.

Ked Plant That REEDS upon Ants ana
Other Very Small Insects.
Almost everybody knows there are
such things as insectivorous or car
nivorous plants, but it is doubtful if
many know we have any such plants
growing right here in South Florida.
Nevertheless, there is plant, or
rather, herb, growing here, which is
really insectivorous.
1t is likely that on account of it's
being extremely small it has escaped
attention. In fact, it seems to have
been overlooked by the botanists also,
as we are unable to find it classed
among the sentitive plants.
This is an annual herb, and the
entire plant, including the flowers, is
Of a deep rich red color. 1t rarely
reaches a height of more than three
inches and is never so broad. The
leaves are spatulate when undis-
turbed, and present many small
fibrillae and secrete at their tips a
tenacious fluid which is capable of
holding the very small insects, such
as ants and the like, upon which it
feeds. When any Of these get lodged
in the fluid and disturb these fibrillae
the leaves slowly acquire a deep cup
shape and sometimes curl completely
up over their victim. When they have
absorbed the insect they slowly re-
cover their original shape, leaving
only the skeleton Of the insect re-
