Cured by fright was dn lA .>.-. o. Nancy, in France, who had arranged to go by a south bound pilgrims train to Lourdes, in whose miraculous wa ters he hoped to find relief. He was being borne on a stretcher to the train, and while the men who were carrying him were crossing the rail road track the station-master called out to them to hurry up, as the ex' press from Metz was approaching.
 The sick man, who was afflicted with paralysis, heard the station-mas- ter's warning and was so frightened that he jumped off the stretcher and ran down the platform. He got to his compartment long before his aston ished pOrters.
 He could not give any explanation of what had happened to him except that he felt himself cured and was able to proceed home instead of to Lourdes.

SECRET DIVULGED BY PARROT.
Servants in Nights of Merrinsnt Had
 Forgotten Bird.

The late George Winthrop Sands passed last winter at St. Moritz This robust and handsome youth, with his modest and pleasant air, was a great favorite with the distinguished band of curlers, bob-sleighers and skiers who frequent the sunny, snow-covered village of the Engadine.
 There was ball on Christmas night at the Kuhn hotel, and MT. Sands, who entertained George Corn. walliS-West at his table during the ball supper, told as a bottle of cham pagne was being opened, parrot story.
 Il once had parrot" he said Tt was a gray African bird, an excellent talker. I went away for month with my family and of course the parrot remained behind with the servants.
 Well, on my return 1 found that the parrot had learned a new speech. Every evening, at intervals of 15 min- utes or so, it would repeat:

Whats an inch of Ram?

The rain fell in buckets, the thun, der racketed terribly, and the light. ming drew zigzag lines of bright gold upon the violet sky.
 50 you, too, don't know what an inch of rain is exactly" said the weather clerk, as he looked at his rain measuring instrument Very few people do, it seems. I'll explain it to you.
 An acre is 6,272,64 square inches. An inch of water on an acre is there fore 6.272,640 cubic inches. That amount. at 227 cubic inches to the gallon, equals 22OO0 gallons, or 220,- 900 pounds, or 100 tons.

FOR CURTAINED BARBER SHOP.
Woman Decries the Common Practice
 of Publicity.

Queer, isn't it." said the observ- ant woman, that though American men are modest individuals, they have been content all these years to be shaven and shorn and massaged in full view of any one who happens to be passing. I mean that all the barber shops are on the street level or below it, and with a wealth of uncurtained glass front that allows a mans toilet to be regarded as a matter of public interest. You might think this expos ure was tolerated by the customer only because it insures good, strong light for the delicate operation of shaving; but not so. for even at night when the electric lights are glaring down the shades remain up, and pedes- trians may gaze upon unlovely lath- cred faces in any barber shop they pass. Going oyer comparatively small area last week I counted 200 tonsorial parlors and not one of them attempted even the gauziest screen ing between its customers and the public gaze. Personally I don't con- sider that a man is at his handsomest under the barber's hands, do you?"- New York Press.

RoTHsCHlLDs ONE LARGE CLAN.
Remarkable Number of Unions Be-
 tween Cousins Belonging to Family.

The founder of the Rothschild fam fly. Mayer Amschel of the Red Shield, dying in 1912, exhorted his five sons, engaged as loanmongers under him in Frankfort, Vienna, London, Paris and Naples, not only to remain faithful to the law of Moses and stand ever united, but to undertake nothing of importance without first consulting their mother.
 Nathan, founder of the London branch, also was so convinced of the business capacities of his wife. Cohen, that he not only left the huge residue of his fortune at her disposal, but, says the Ladies' Realm. added instructions that his sons were to en- gage in no undertaking of moment without her consent.
 How far the instruction was ob- served one is not in a position to say, but it is certain the Rothschilds have done their best to live in family unity, for from the Gentle point of view the number that have married cousins is appalling Of the five chil- dren of the great Nathan each mar ried a cousin.
 And, coming to contemporaries, Lord ROthschild is the son of cousins and the husband of cousin. Re turning to Nathan, the Sidonia of "Coningsby," though his offspring married cousins, a reaction followed in the next generation, for three of his granddaughters, two of whom have been already named, married not only out of the family, but out of the faith.

RED ROCKETS TO
ANNOUNCE HAWAII

w. H. McInerny has received the
following letter from the Los Angeles
representative of the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee:
Ny Dear Mr. McInerny: By re-
quest of Captain Harris of the Hawaii,
| have sent him this day a half dozen
rockets to be sent up if he approaches
Diamond Head by night.
These rockets will show red light, so
that your lookout can be on the watch
for red rockets about the time you
think the boats ought to arrive.
No doubt everything will go off as
per schedule. All four boats are now
in the harbor and are in racing trim.
No doubt it will make a very pretty
start and we expect a great many
thousand people to witness the event.
Captain Harris has been a most de-
lightful entertainer while in the port,
and what money has been spent in this
manner / feel has been well spent.
l think the Captain will carry away
with him a very good impression of
Southern California I know that the
feeling here toward him and the crew
of the Hawaii is more than friendly.
Hoping that the Hawaii will land a
winner in the race-and she looks
every inch winner-I am, very truly
yours, LLOYD CHILDS.

WOODS CARRIES
MANY LETTERS

San Francisco Bulletin-There was a
large delegation of baseball fans at the
steamer yesterday to say good-by to
Jess Woods, who sailed for Japan, and
wished him good luck. Among the
crowd was a delegation of japanese,
who brought letters of introduction,
which Woods will use in his travels.
Jess carried more letters and creden-
tiais than an American ambassador go
ing to a new country He must have
had over 200 letters to prominent peo-
rle all through the Orient. q Barring
accidents, | expect to return to this
country the LIST of October said Jess

the business. This is no bush league

fixed so that Mike Fisher can take his
team and go over the circuit without
a hitch of any character. [ have the
finest sort of letters to people who can
do US a lot of good. Really, / think
it will be an easy matter arranging
games, but by me going through the
Orient ahead it will be more satisfac-
tory. From all I can learn the fans
over there are crazy to see a good team
play, and we will send over good
one. This trip is going to be talked
about all over the country. Already
the Eastern papers are publishing
stories about it.
The steamer win stop at Honolulu

Sentiment is Moree Cheerful in Busi.
 ness Channels.

New York, March 14.-R. G. Dun & Go. s weekly review of trade reports as fol- lows:
 Sentiment is more cheerful, because of good weather for farm work and higher prices for securities. Actual progress in commercial channels is slow, but there is a little improvement each week. while evidences of an early spring have stimu- lated sales of seasonable wearing apparel in most jobbing and wholesale depart ments. Many manufacturing plants have increased forces, especially the factories that supply farming implements. and the canning industry. Some reductions Of wages are announced to take effect on April l, and thus far no serious strikes are threatened. Building permits in Feb ruary showed a large decrease as com pared with the same month last year. but most of the loss was at this city, which has shown the effects of the set back more than other sections of the country. Small gains are recorded in some departments of the iron and steel industry, while other lines remain un- changed. Best news this week comes from the branches that supply farming and canning interests. which show sea- sonable tendency toward increased &C., tivity Tin plate mills are resuming, production now falling little below \nor- nal in this division. Merchant steel is quiet, and new business is light in struct- ural material.

CITY MAY PENSION
 INJURED EMPLOYES

Atlanta, March 14.-(Special.)-- 1.-The proposition to pension policemen and firemen disabled in the service, and their families in cases where they are killed in the discharge of their duty, will be taken up for serious consider ation by Atlanta's city council Mon- day.
 It is proposed to begin with the ap- pointment of a commission to make a thorough and complete investigation of the subject, particularly in other cities where the plan has been adopted. The subject has been discussed spasmodi- eally for the last decade but this is the first effort to get it on a definite basis. When a policeman or fireman is killed now, a public subscription is usually taken up for ms family if he has one, but it is desired to get away from this desultory, uncertain and unsatis- factory way of making provision for such officers. Sentiment strongly favors some action in this direction and it can hardly be questioned that it will soon come.
