Her hair was unfastened, and the loose

turned suddenly to the man standing in

Her eyes aroused him. The darkness

her gaze; ecstasy in that he was there at

the deathly illness was heart-starvation.
She touched his shoulder and his cheek

The Michigan Supreme Court In
O'Dell VS.. Goff, 112 Northwestern Re-
porter, 1856, holds that mere belief in
spiritualism is not evidence of insanity
but, on the other hand. one who thinks
so persistently on the subject as to be-
come a monomaniac, incapable of rea
soning, does not possess testamentary
capacity; and. where q believer in

A claim for personal injuries does
not pass to the trustee in bankruptcy
so as to debar the bankrupt from prose
cutting an action thereon, according to
the decision Of the Massachusetts Su.
preme Judicial Court in Sibley VS. Ma
son, 81 Northeastern Reporter, SS7. The
court says that the claim was not a
property right until reduced to judg
ment, could not be reached by trustee
process, nor in equity by a creditors
bill. In this case, also, the court holds
that plaintiff was not precluded from
recovering for reasonable charges for
nursing and physicians services, be
cause he had included such claims In
his bankruptcy schedules, and had been
discharged from legal liability there
for.
The validity of the New York law
prohibiting the employment of females,
regardless of age, in factories between
8 o'clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a. m. came
up for final determination by the State
courts in People vs. Williams, 81 North
eastern Reporter, rs. The Court of
Special Sessions of the First Division
Of the City of New York Goo New
York Supplement, 1879 held the law un-
constitutional as infringing the consti-
tutional right to contract This de-
cision was affirmed by the Appellate Di-
vision by a divided court (101. New
York Supplement, 562, ZIG App. Div.
379). The Court of Appeals now af-
firms the decision of the court below,
and holds the law unconstitutional on
the same grounds as the Court of Spe-
cIal Sessions. The court says that the
courts have gone very far In upholding
legislative enactments framed clearly
for the welfare. comfort and health of
the community: but when 1t Is sought,
as here, arbitrarily to prevent an adult
female citizen from working at any
time of the day that suits her, 1t is
time to call halt. Such law arbi-
trarily deprives citizens of their right
to contract with each other.

Six Frogs, Five Birds, Turtle Shells
and Beefsteak Bone in Him.
What's the use for a nature faker to
try to reform? Here comes Alton
again, says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
This time it's Al Borden's snake
which tried Dr. Paillous' new system Of
beating the beef trust by eating the
desert first and the meat afterward.
Al was driving along the Wood River
road near East Alton, wondering how
much higher the food was going TO go,
when he saw something long and black
lying on the wagon bridge fifty yards
ahead
swell, I'll swan, if somebody didn't
drop his whip" said AL.
But when he came nearer he found
that it wasn't the kind of blacksnake
he thought it was. 1t reared up on its
tail and Al recognized 1T at once from
a picture he had seen in the COmpen-
dunn of Art and Science, in three vol
umes, 81 down and 90 cents month.
1t was real live blacksnake, Ameri-
canus slipperinus niger. The serpent
looked at Al with its green eyes aid
stuck out its fangs as much as to say
you may have snake-bite medicine in
your pocket, but If you come any closer
I'll stick you for the drinks"
But Al wasn't afraid. He had his
trusty rifle with him and he drew a
bead on the snakes Off eye and hinged
away. He missed. The snake jumped
behind an upright of the bridge railing
just as Al fired second time.
Al kept popping away. At the sew
enth shot the snake gave a sickly grin.
whirled around three times and fell
with its tail grasping the pit of Its
stomach
When he reached the snake ii was
dead
AL took out the knife he got with
trading stamps and cut the snake open
so its skin looked like one of these new
tangled directoire gowns.
And what he found inside was a eau
ton. Starting from the head, there
were first, three turtle shells, then, in
extended order, six frogs, three spar
rows, two woodpeckers, a beefsteak
bone, two clippings from a German
newspaper and a quart of raspberrles
OF course they were eaten in the re-
verse order from the way Al found
them.
The snake was nine feet long and five
inches In diameter at the largest part,
where the raspberry box was.

THE HE'LL OF WAR.
Deaths from Battle and Disease In

Deaths from Battle and Disease In
Time OF War Are Appalling.
''1he splendid achievements OF scien-
tific medicine in civic life in the pre-
vention of disease. should be even
more effectually obtained in an army,
were only healthy men are accepted.
and vigorous outdoor camp life should
keep its units, who are subject to strict
military discipline. In perfect physical
condition. Health alone, however, is
no guarantee against the insidious at
tack of the silent foe that fingers in ev-
cry camp and bivouac" says an article
in AppletOn's. 1T is this foe, as the
records of war for the past two hun
dred years have proved, that Is respon-
sible for four times as many deaths as
the guns of the enemy, 10 say nothing
of the vast number temporarily invalid
ed or discharged as unfit for duty. 1t
is this dreadful unnecessary sacrifice Of
life from preventable disease that con-
stitutes the hell of war to-day. In
the Russo-Turkish war the. deaths from
battle casualties were 10000. while
those from disease were $4,000; in our
great Civil conflict. of the nearly 500,-
600 men who persisted on both sides,
about 100000 were sacrificed to disease
to 100000 from battle casualties.
"In a recent campaign of the French
in Madagascar 1900 men were sent
TO the front, of whom Twenty-Five were
killed in action and over 1000 persisted
from preventable diseases. In the Boer
war in South Africa the English losses
were ten times greater from disease
than from the bullets OF the enemy. In
our recent war with Spain fourteen
lives were needlessly sacrificed to ig-
norance and incompetency, for every
man who died ON the firing line or from
the result of wounds.
The difference between the martyr
and the victim. between the soldier who
falls on the field of honor and the man
who meets miserable death from pre-
yentable disease, for which his govern
ment is criminally responsible, is as
wide as the celestial diameters. The
one meets death compensated in the
thought that his life is given In the
protection of his country's flag and
honor, the other is ANONYMOUSLY fore
ed to his grave through the neglect OF
the government that shamefuliy failed
to protect the life he offered ia its
defense, This man represents the vic
tim Of tho hell of war
That the monstrous sacrifice of so
per cent is almost totally unnecessary,
was abundantly proved in the records
of the Japanese war, where 100000
men were sent to the front, in a coun-
try VIGOROUSLY insanitary. and only 81
coo men died from disease. to $4,000
who fell in the legitimate line of duty
on the field of honor. This because the
Japanese had properly equipped med
ical and sanitary department. whose
officers were empowered to enforce
proper sanitation and hygiene. In the
picked soldiers died in three months in
the pest camps of their native land.
