Orange Rind as a Malaria Cure.

From the Palm Beach News.
The Tampa Times i'm an editorial on the
commercial discovery of a new kind OF
orange on account of the medicinal value
Of the rind in malarial diseases makes a
suggestion: This is remindful of the
orange leaf tea used by the housewives
of Florida in the earlier days as cor
receive for malaria. There is no doubt or
its excellence as a tonic, and IL Is quite
possible that the rind of the sour and
wild oranges might be made useful along
the same line. Tea made from the fresh
leaves of orange sprouts is of most excel
lent effect as tonic and anti-periodic,
and steps ought to be taken to provide
supplies of II for the public" Those who
have once experienced the benefit of this
old-time household remedy are aware or

A Passing Thought.
From the Columbus Journal.

Life is very largely a strenuous effort
to grab bubbles. things that quickly fade
after we get them. the realization of
which often creates less pleasure than re-
morse. Sir Oliver Lodge. the great scien-
fist. In a recent article thus speaks:
THE class of things which is certainly
not persistent. but must individually be left
behind US forever. is the weird collection of
treasures for which most of us work SO
hard. scoring delights and living laborious
days for their acquisition.
Sir divers thought. however is deeper
than we express. That weird collection
Of treasures"-very like museum of rel
les and remains that one has gathered up
with such anxious zeal. but now only
curious for what they once were. The
things that are persistent. that go with
us through life and beyond. that create
JOY and hope. are the real things out Of
which truth and honor and duty are built.
They last. and uplift at last SO our great
scientist says. 1t is well to give him
passing thought in these glimmering days.

Winning Back the Suffragette.

The Englishman began to lose his mas
terry over his fellow-countrywomen when
he abandoned gorgeous clothing: he must
return to the latter to regain superiority.
The present-day woman generally finds
the uniforms of the soldier and sailor and
the costumes Of the actor on the stage
irresistible. The principle which causes
this attitude toward brilliant clothing is
the same that attaches multitude to
monarchical system by means OF jew
"led crown. gilt coaches and the splendid
liveries of the royal man servants The
"suffragettes' would quickly become
submissive wives devoted, and maidens

which our predecessors abandoned

in the street, to which he threw her.
Dr. Crawford keeps herself in condi-

Henry PomerantZ. after showing some
signs of insanity, went crazy yesterday
and tried to cut his wife to pieces with
his shoemaker's knife. Lott and Ma
honey smashed in Pomerantzs door and
held him while some one sent for an
ambulance.
When Dr. Crawford entered the room
Pomerantz tore himself away from the
captors and rushed at her. She coolly
extended her fine right arm to his great
surprise. Pomerantz ran against her
clenched fist with much force.
The policemen grabbed him again and
yanked him down to the waiting ambu-
lance They held him, struggling. while
DR.. Crawford strapped him down.
I'VE will take this man to the Kings
County Hospital at Flatbush," said the
doctor.
She and Policeman Lott sat on the
rear seat of the ambulance. MahOney
sat next to- the driver. They had not
gone far when the shoemaker. with
maniac's proverbial strength. broke the
straps that held him. The driver pulled
up.
Thrown Into Street
DIR. Crawford and the policeman jumped
at Pomerantz, but he eluded the man
and seized the young woman. Wrestling.
both were thrown from the ambulance.
Dr. Crawford hurt her back, but she
was on her feet before Pomerantz and
as he tried to rise. she dealt him a blow
that dazed him. The officers then threw
themselves on him.
Get rope. II you please" said DR..
Mary to bareheaded man in the crowd
that gathered quickly. He brought
rope from a house nearby. The policemen
bound Pomerantz until he was as help
less as a mummy, and SO he was carted
to Flatbush.

BOYS THIRD ARREST
Fifteen Year Old Lad Held on Three Counts of
 Theft.
IN REFORM SCHOOL ONCE
Father Says He Has Tried Ever, Means to Keep the Boy
 Straight.

For the third time in brief career of fifteen years, George H. Sullsan little lad for his age and rather bright-looklng, was arrested by Detec- tive Sergeant Dennehy yesterday af- ternoon. He is held on three charges of theft One dates back several weeks to the theft of cigars and to- bacco from the Rabanus store on State street. The second is the ob- tainlng of six boxes of soap from the Frank C. Bushnell company under false pretenses while the third at present is of team.
 The I'd called up the Bushnell com pany and gave the order under the name of Markle. He said he would send q clerk Dr it and himself ap. peared with a team and took away the goods,
 Yesterday he tried to repeat the op. eration. This timo he called up Stod. dard, Gilbert, under the name oi Fahey, an eighth ward dealer, and ordered eight boxes of soap. Fahey | ltiA'l ilSNlelHifh iilH olh'l anu iIlt police were informed. Sergeant Den. nehy went down to the store and saw the lad backing up team for the goods. He arrested him and after OK. animation drew forth complete con fession. The team he took the lrti. cles away in was 'borrowed' even,
 The lad was first arrested about two years ago on theft charge. Anoth. CT time he was arrested for obtaining goods under false pretenses which may be the charge in one of the casei this time. He was sent to the State Reform school but later through tho | efforts of his father, he was released.
 His father came to police headqiar' l ters yesterday afternoon and declared 1 that he had tried every way possible to keep the boy straight and sorrow. 1 fully admitted that it had all been of no avail. The lad will probably bc l sent to the Reform school again as hc | Is still under sixteen, the age for iai or state prison sentences. He was ap- parently entirely unmoved by his pre-. dicament yesterday.
