Japanese Banking Episode.

after fruitless efforts to obtain

all seriousness, "a committee repre-
senting about 1900 depositors of the
Chiyoda bank of Japan has sent a
written request to Viscount Horl,
president of the institution, asking
him to commit harakiri as an act of
expiation."

whimsically grave contrasts are infin-
itely more picturesque than the mere
anachronisms of the Mecca trolley car

certs in the Sultan's seragllo.
We do not know how the Japanese
harakiri statute runs. but we should
think that Viscount Hori would get an
order of court before complying with
the depositors' request. Although
this would probably be only a formal

The Turkish papers have published
heir version of the tragic death OF
Dom Carlos, of Portugal. In the Lee

The STEAMBOAT says: Dom Carlos is
dead. His son Manuel has succeeded
the throne. There is. therefore, no

by the censor to odmit that any chief

Ostrich eggs are being Matched In
an incubator in this city. A novel
egg-hatching is being carried on al
the store OF Crenshaw Bros, on upper
Franklin street. Thirteen fine ostrich
eggs from the recently established
Tampa ostrich farm have been placed
In an incubator and they will hatch on
some time early in May.
1t takes an average heat OF 107 de.
grees and f~orty-ive days of constant
exposure to such heat to develop the
germ in IN ostrich egg and hatch q
young ostrich. The eggs are worth
$40 each, and 1t is a conservative
estimate to say that the young bird
will be worth more than twice that
money after 1t has passed the first
month of its existence.
Some idea of the size OF the eggs
may be gathered from the fact that
the Mandy Lee" incubator, which is
being used for the hatch, would hold
40 average hen eggs. Fourteen of
the ostrich eggs would fll 1t COM

Magazines for the Army.

The Woman's Army and Navy
League is making additional request
for books and magazines to be sent
to the soldiers in the Philippines,
Alaska, Cuba and far western posts in
the United States. The coming of
spring has brought many requests from
these stations, particularly from Alas
ka, and contributions of such litera-
ture are requested. With the prac-
tical eye OF the nations housekeep-
ers. members of the league believe,
now that the spring housekeeping is
here, there may be an extra allotment
of magazines and books for the sol
diers.

Gals give the soldiers is not to be dis

each finding a sort of message from

out before another assortment arrives.

STRUGGLE WITH A TIGER.

Two brothers, Khuda Bakhs and
Shaikh Abdul CHAM, of Moradabad,
were despatched recently to Rampur
on an errand, and while entering a
grove at Khadpura a tiger sprang
upon Khuda Bakhs, who, being an
athlete, warded off the blow aimed
at him with his right hand and
caught n Of the paws with the other
and maintained his hold, though the
tiger was mauling the other hand.
Abdul CHAM now rushed up with a
stout stick, which he forced down the
tigers throat, making it release his
brothers hand, when Khuda Bakhs
seized another paw with his wounded
hand, forcing both the paws back.
He wrestled with the tiger, keeping it
down by sheer force, while Abdul
CHAM belabored it with his lathi and
killed it.
The tiger vas carried by the broth
ers to His Highness the Nawab Of
Rampur, who kept the skin as a me-
mento and sent Khuda Bakhs to the

vention of Cruelty to Animals.
Grandmother said she had read in

how, it vas humane. Uncle Nat said
he never saw SO many cats in his life,

one whenever he put his foot down.

rs Stomach Cntn,7A

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are a large number of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fleshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, Hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the d~uodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, If not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
lion Of acid. A ~hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids Of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
> The beginning of the trouble is q ca.
tarrhal condition OF the stomach which
causes h~yperacidity Of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
Rch, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion Of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. BY
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents Of the
stomach and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in it's normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat
sufficient amount OF fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

POLICE METHODS IN WARSAW.
Arrested All the Men Of a Certain
Name and Imprisoned Them.


Name and Imprisoned Them.
Sherlock Holmes would not find
much to praise in the methods en-
ployed by the Warsaw police when try
ing to trace criminals. An instance OF
their brilliance is now making all those
no Immediately concerned therein
laugh. Some time ago Mr.. Hautke, a
manufacturer, was shot while leaving
his works, and the murderers could
not be found.
The other day rumors ran through
the town that one of the criminals was
named Malicki. The police heard this
rumor, obtained the addresses OF all
males in Warsaw bearing this name
from the municipal address bureau,
and arrested them without delay.
Then they sent for the murdered
mans relatives, confronted them with
some hundred Malickis in turn, n
asked, is this the mar who murdered
Mr.. Hautke?' AS none of Mr..
Hautke's relatives was with him at the
time of the murder, their answers were
without exception, 81 cannot say,
they were finally dismissed.
But the Malickis were not so fortu-
nate, and are still under arrest pending
further inquiries. Some Of them begged
the relatives to say they were implicat-
ed in the murder, so that they could at
least be let out on bail. AS 1T Is,
though they declare they kno nothing
of the crime, they are packed in cells
like herrings in a barrel, and are like
ly to remain there till the real culprits
appear.
The incident sounds more like m
of Gogol's satires on Russian bureau
cratic methods than of plain fact. All
the Malickis VOW they will employ
their first hours Of liberty in tracing
and l~ynching those who floated the
story of their implication in the MUIR

Then one day mother asked Uncle

Then one day mother asked Uncle
Nat to get a bottle Of chloroform al
the druggists. which she left on the
mantel-shelf in plain sight.
Father asked where the bottle oil
chloroform came from, and what II
was for? Grandmother said 1t was
very careless of some n to leave a
bottle OF chloroform round like that.
where any one could get 1t.
Aunt Caroline asked who was GO.
ing to use the chloroform.
Uncle Nat said he was willing tc
buy it, and had done his part, and II
any one thought he was going to kill
cats with it he was mistaken.
The day was Thursday, Susan's day
out. The family had gone for a drive,
all except mother, who had a motive
in remaining at home. 1t was now
or With the light of resolu.
ton in her y and her lips pressed
firmly together, with a bottle and
sponge in one hand and cats in her
apron, she started for the barn.
Pursuing her lips more tightly still.
she gathered up more cats as she
went. Then she shut all she had in
an empty box, which was to serve as
an execution chamber, and went in
search of more cats. Two more were
added; none was spared. The sponge
was saturated and thrust into the
box, and the executioner fed to the
house without once looking back.
When father came home and found
what had been done he was amazed.
He wouldn't have lost the cat named
Punch for anything, and he had al
ways regarded Punch as his own cat,
and Punch was a first-class ratter.
Grandmother also evinced surprise
at what had happened, and said she
should always mourn the cat named
Judy, for Judy was such a ladylike
cat, and could always have a corner
l. her room to sleep in, for Judy was
never in the way nor tho least bit OBJ
jectionable.
Uncle Nat said he wouldn't have
taken any money for Topsy, as he
regarded Topsy as his especial prop
erty, and the likeliest cat in the
bunch.
Aunt Caroline said it WIS bad luck
to kill black cats, and she couldn't
think of anything she was so super
stitious about as black cats.
Susan said she wouldn't have killed
even one black cat for all the money
on earth, and that she should be
afraid to stay now, anyway, and
couldn't wait till her month was up,
either.
Mother hadn't a word to say for
herself. That night black cats stared
at her out of the darkness, and once
she awoke from a nightmare of pur-
suing cats, an army of them, and
thought she heard them wailing-the
spirits of the cats she had chloro-
formed!
At daybreak she rose from her bed,
dressed herself, and descended to
the kitchen-and there on the back
doorstep, peering through the screen
door as usual, unhurried and ex-
pectant, were the six black cats,
waiting for their breakfast.
"I'm SO glad I didn't put a rock on
the top of that box!" said mother.
She gathered them in as If they had
been prodigals, and all six of them
had the breakfast of their nine o,
more lives.
