CLAIMED LOST BOY
Youpgslsr Sirsyed Awsy From
 Park Avenue To-day.

This afternoon oNcer Bowling picked up lost boy and took him to the police station. Doorman Mates gave the youngster lollypop and
 turned him over to Reserve Officer John Burns who tried to pull talk out of him, but he didn't understand
 English well enough to tell where he lived, still he appeared quite recon ciled and was telling the officer all about his sister Edna's doll when two men entered the police station, ap- parently very much excited and an nounced that they had lost a child. "I guess we've got him." remarked Captain Bannon as he walked to the foot of the stairway leading to the reception room and yelled, Jack, bring down that boy" In iiffy the officer appeared at the head of the stairway with his precious freight in his arms. As soon as the men saw him both exclaimed In the same breath, That's he The boy start ed to cry with joy, as he rushed to one of the men, who said he was his papa, and then the trio marched out, the men thanking Captain Ramon and the boy tugging away at his lol- ly-pop. The boy was Sammie Savin of Park avenue, five years old, neatly dressed and the picture of health and innocence. No wonder the family refused to sit down to dinner until Sammie was located and taken home

WE ARE ALL sUPERsTITIoUs.
Telephone 16s-4.

We are all superstitious, or do homage to superstitions. l do not believe that 1t is unlucky to see the new moon through glass, and yet. it always seems worth while to avoid doing so. even if risk my neck by walking into the garden backward. Why such folly? The force Of an irrational statement-this accounts for it. I am told that seeing the new moon through glass will bring trouble do not see why 1t should. But then. I do not see why It should not; and when sane, interesting and magnetic people around me are avoiding this way of seeing the new moon, in fear of untoward happen ings, think 1t just as well to conform. By the way, this particular supersti- tion must be comparatively modern: the ancients were not in danger of seeing the new moon through win dow panes The more you know about superstitions, the more super stitious you are. I have vague feeling about magpies; but as l for get whether 1t is unlucky to see one or to see two, l counteract the spill ing of salt in the usual manner, and I wish someone would explain to me why I do so I walk boldly under ladders in the Strand, and yet pay homage to the popular fancy in the priggish thought that someone be- hind me will say. There goes 8 mah who is above all foolish super stitions" This ladder superstition like the one about new houses would appear to be no more than a maxim whose common sense basis is forgotten. You walk under lad der at the risk of pot of paint fall ing on your head. I once saw this happen It was red paint. and there was plenty of it. Till then l had re- trained from walking under ladders fearing the unknown too much. Now I walk under them, not fearing paint enough.

PRICE OF FEED
Cause of Skyrocksl Prices ou
 MIX and Eggs.

The feed men sympathize with the milk producers and claim that if the price of the article is high the con sumers are more io blame than any body else. Look here" said feed man to reporter to-day, pointing to a bag full of cracked corn huddled up in the rear end of his wagon. We used to sell that for $1 and when 1t went up to $1,10 many stopped buy ing 1t and tried something else, but they all came back and now they are glad to get l. at $1.90. They kick, of course, but they do 1t in practical way. People who use 1t right along never bestow thought on the fact that year in and year out they con tlnue to boost men into office who are responsible for these outrageously high prices. but If should tell them so I'd lose their patronage, so keep right on and say nothing. feel for dealers who are paying these high prices and find 1t out of the question to convince their customers that they
 
 prices. The dealers are not getting the extra pennies. All these go to the trusts and those who are handing them out feel In duty bound to keep them in position to corner the mar ket so that they may continue to fix the prices. When the public open their eyes to these things, if they ever do, feed will be cheaper and milk will sell at price that all can afford to pay.
 T don't know what eggs are now, but they must be high. What can you expect when dealers have to pay $1.9O for what you see in that wa gon? A representative of the trusts strikes town and is heralded as a stump speaker. The papers herald his coming and half the town turns out to hear and shout themselves hoarse at his witticisms. Somebody aiming to expose the combines drops into town and invites the public to give him hearing. How many ac- cept his invitation? Not enough to say so, and many that go are there to SiitAeiACs NV hldttCl uoW CtoquciL hC Is dubbed as socialist or a dema- gogue of some sort that ought not to be at large and the victims of the trusts shake their heads and say amen. Then you hear these same people rail at the milk dealers and others who trade in the necessaries of life and find 1t extremely difficult to get living out of their business.
 The reporter wanted the gentleman to be more specific regarding how people should vote, but he evaded the question and drove off remarking as he went that anybody who has tried to live in this part of the world for the past few years and does not know what to do with his vote next Mo- vember must be an 'ass.'

PROHIBITION sNAG IN GEORGIA

Proceedings just instituted in a federal court at Atlanta by Cincin- natl brewing concern are marked by novelty and will be watched with gen. eral interest. The brewers ask the court to declare Georgia's prohibit tory law unconstitutional in that it restricts public worship. The letter of the law-as was pointed out when Governor Hoke Smith signed it. seems to forbid the sale of wine for the eucharist. That might not dis turb religious bodies in which unfer- mented grape juice Is thought to be as good or better than wine. But to the Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans and other Christians. who consider wine essential to the sacra- ment, the matter stands very differ ently. If the failure to make a special provision in the law for eucharist wine was an oversight on the part of the Georgia legislators. it was serious oversight. All men" l" says Georgias constitution, have the natural and inalienable. right to worship God according to the dic- tates of their own conscience. and no human authority shall in any wise control or interfere with such a right of conscience" What an un- expected and queer turn in events it will be If. upon the petition of the Cincinnati beermakers.

ADVICE TO FAT MEN.

It was profound philosopher who made popular stage character ob- serve that nobody loves fat man. v The average man and woman object to getting stout, not so much be- cause it lessens their capacity for work and play, as 1t surely does, but for pride of personal appear ance-call 1t vanity.
 To add to the agonies of the fat, here comes Dr Brandeth Symons in the Medical Record, and shows by statistics taken from 100000 life in, surance cases that in the matter of health and longevity it is better to be under than over weight.
 Everybody grows heavier as they grow older, but the under-sized man stops putting on weight after 45; middle-sized men keep on until 50, and the tall men to 55 and SO.
 Girls at 20 are on the average six pounds lighter than a boy of the same age, but as both grow older the difference gradually diminishes.
 Under 30, 5 to 10 per cent over weight is to be encouraged, and such persons have very low death rate, but after 30 the ratio of actual to ex- pected deaths rises as the individual is over weight.
 A man of five feet six inches should weigh about 140 pounds, but a group of men of this height weigh ing 195 pounds is shown to have a mortality of 172 as against 100 ex- pected deaths. Even long-lived ancestry does not appear to offset the excessive mortality of over. weights over 30 years of age.
 Overweight persons show an ex- cess of organic diseases, especially cerebral congestion, apoplexy and paralysis, Bright's disease, etc Un- der-weights are more liable to tuber- culosis, pneumonia and the like.
 Summing it all up, the thin per son who is at the same time in good health has a much better chance to see green old age' than the overweight.
 The lesson is for each person to apply. We all eat too much. If the fat man and woman will eat what is good for them and cut out the fancy things that do no good get out in the open air and exer- else; keep the windows open at night; practice deep breathing and take daily cold bath, it Is marvel ous how soon the benefits are mani fested. It may come hard to cut out the pastry, pies and starchy foods. but life is precious and worth fighting for.-Boston Tray eler.

Penguin Battles.

The penguin, a notable diver among sea birds, wins his mate by right of conquest. The male birds fight for the possession of the females. These cu- rious birds have regular duel grounds. where relics of innumerable combats in the shape of feathers He scattered about Tn the center Is the fighting arena, clear of all debris. The pen guins' feathers and blubber form an efficient shield against their opponents peaks. so the weapon used is the short flipper. the only wings the birds pos sess. The fight begins with the two combatants walking round each other waiting for an opportunity to- grip. Once this is done the flippers come into play. The fighters shower blow after blow upon each other. There is no record as to how these fights end. but 1t is a safe supposltion to say that they are seldom fatal. The force of the blow from penguin's flipper Is such that three or four of them will draw blood from the human hand.
