FACTS ABOUT TAPEWORMS.
Their Source Puzzled Scientists Until
Won Siebold Discovered 1t.

a German named Won Siebold made
himself Il specialist Oh tapeworms. and
III the course of his researches discov-
cred that cats and owls were infested
with exactly the same kind of tape
worms. he then cogitated on what the
bird and the cat could possibly have in
common, and concluded that it could be
only in the single matter of diet namely,
that both ate mice. lie proceeded then
TO investigate mice. and found in some
of them not tapeworms, but great
number Of minute bag-shaped creatures
now called cysticerci. which had bur
rowed into their flesh These had as
little resemblance as possible to tape
worms. which may be twenty feet long.
He then fed the meat of such unfortu-
nate mice to dogs, pigs and chickens,
and in due time, 10. all three grew the
same tapeworms with those of cats and
owls. The cOmmonest kind among our
tapeworms comes from eating beef not
sufficiently cooked to kill the cysticerci
in it.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson, III

N. r., June 24.--News of the death of former President Gro- yer Cleveland was communicated to President Roosevelt at his summer home here to-day and caused radical changes in the presidents plans for the immediate future. Mir. Roosevelt was deeply shocked at the tidings and immediately telegraphed to Mrs Cleveland at Princeton, N, J., tender ing his sympathy and that of Mrs, Roosevelt and asking to be notified at Mrs. Cleveland's earliest conven- fence of the time of the funeral. Af- terward announcement was made that President and Mrs. Roosevelt would attend the funeral services at Prince ton, Friday
 Mir. Roosevelt made 1t known im- mediately on receipt of the news of Mir.

Severance of Diplomatic Relations With Castro Now Technically
 Complete.

Washington, D. C., June 24.-Senor Velose- Goiticoa, the Venezuelan charge d'affaires in Washington, was q caller at the state department to- day, He talked with Acting Secre. tary Adee, but the latter declined to tell what the conference brought forth Mir. Velose had not; the re- motest Idea of demanding his pass ports as the outcome of the with drawal of Jacob Sleeper, the Arneri' can secretary and charge at Caracas.
 Acting Secretary Adee has commun- icated with Secretary Root and 1t is probable that conference will soon be held between Secretary Root, As- sistant Secretary Bacon and Acting Secretary Adee and as result all the correspondence that has passed be- tween Washington and Caracas may be made public
 The severance of diplomatic relations between America and Venezuela is re- garded here as technically complete and 1t Is not necessary for the state department to serve upon the Venezue- Ian government any further notifica- ton of the termination than was con veyed to that government by MT. Sleep CT in person when he withdrew from Caracas and indicated that the Bra zilian diplomatic representative would be placed in charge of the archives Of the American legation.
 The action of the Venezuelan gov ernmcnt in regard 10 passports to MT Sleeper is regarded by the American Latin element In this city as n rathe hopeful sign. They believe that MT Sleeper did not demahd his passports (which, of course, he might have had had he persisted) as political ster but rather for the purpose of insurinl free passage for the legation part. through the rigorous quarantine line which have to be crossed in order q take ship.
 Up to the close of office hours to-day Mir Sleeper had not formally reporte his departure from Venezuela.

All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

It is common thing in this coun- try to sec whole families growing up with nervous systems weakened by coffee drinking.
 That is because many parents do not realize that coffee contains a -caffeine-which causes the trouble.
 There are five children in my fam fly" writes an Iowa mother, "all of whom drank coffee from infancy up to two years ago.
 My husband and had heart trou- ble and were advised to quit coffee. We did so and began to use Postum. We now are doing without medicine and are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
 (Caffeine causes heart trouble when continually used as in coffee drink ing.)
 Our eleven-year-o boy had a weak digestion from birth, and yet always craved, and was given coffee. When we changed to Postum he liked it and we gave him all he wanted He has been restored to health by Pos tum and still likes it.

London Morning Post Thinks Clcye- land Strongest President Since 70
 Washington.

London, June 25.-The London morn Ing papers print extended memoirs and portraits of MT, Cleveland, the Daily Telegraph devoting six columns to this purpose. Some editorials also are pub lshed on death of the former president of the United States and most of these make note of the strange coincidence of his death on the day that the United States diplomatic representatives with drew from Venezuela,
 All the newspapers pay warm tri- butes to MT. Cleveland's independence of parties, his integrity and high pur- pose, and their references to the "un- fortunate Venezuelan incident" are made without bitterness. The Daily Mall says.
 Cleveland will stand out in history as one who achieved his popularity by Invariably placing the interests of the lnatlon above those of classes, however influential"
 The Morning Post In highly laud- atory editorial, says:
 cleveland was one of the great men of his time. He had Bismarck's breadth Of view and more than Bis marcks honesty. As president he did not lift a finger for the democratic party but merely served the United States. He was the strongest man that lived in the White House since the death of Washington"
 Berlin. June 25.-Although most of the Berlin newspapers conhne themselves to publishing record of Mr. Cleveland's career, several of them pay high tribute to him in their editorial columns. The Neuestor | Nachrichten says:
 Cleveland gained renown among partisans and adversaries as a stain less -principled patriot"
