At War Over "snore slIencer..

Davis B. Date, 62 years old, an in
ventor who lives at Is Greene Place,
Brooklyn, was arrested by BROOKLYN
headquarters detectives at O'Clock
last night on the complaint of Henry
Pferdekamp, a barber, of 400 law
street, who charges that Date de-
frauded him to the extent of $500.
Pferdekamp says that Date invent
ed device to attach to the noses of
persons addicted to snoring. and
which he guaranteed would Compile
tely cure them of the habit in a few
nights. Pferdekamp became inter
ested when Date gave him few off
hand statistics as to the number of
snorers in the United States, and
showed how if only 'one-half of them
should buy the antisnoring machine,
there would be millions in it's manu-
facture.
Pferdekamp says he invested $500
and was to receive half the profits of
the snore silencer. He says Date con-
verted the $500 to his own use.
Date told the detectives when he
frauded Pferdekamp, but the trouble
was that Pferdekamp hadn't advanced
enough money to put the desnorer on
the market properly. and that $500
was a mere bagatelle anyhow, or
words to that effect. He also told
the police that he had invented a re-
markable knife-a knife that would
cut bananas and pineapples while you
ate them.
He had one of the knives with him,
and all the detectives at headquarters
in Brooklyn were trying to figure out
how to use it last night. and trying
to discover why man should want
to cut a banana anyhow, when It is
SO much easier to bite it.-New York

ECONOMIES.

Those highly trained gentlemen Of
the army who prepare the annual es-
Inmates have experienced a new SEN
sation. They have been instructed to
back up" and, just to show them how
it can be done, some eighteen millions
of dollars have been Topped off the
budget. A strong hint has been deliv-
cred at the same time that q cut of
sac, 100000 will be counted upon by
the White House.
The President deserves universal
applause for letting the army feel the
strength of his policy of economizing
in governmental expenses. Since the
Spanish war the service has been de-
manding more and more money, using
politics and family influence and
score of other tricks for getting in
creased appropriations. The army has
surely squared accounts for its many
years of neglect, and ought to be con-
tent now to ride an easier gait. The
estimates for 1911 were $1S9.65O,00O
The acting secretary of war was per
suaded to cut them to s171, $50 900,
but this still gave a lead of 81 900
600 over the appropriations for 1909

WATCHING THE GAME.

The umpires of the National League
of professional baseball players had a
conference q few days ago. They were
urged by the executive head of the or
ganization to enforce to the letter the
regulations against rowdy ball. This
official declared that the few players
who are inclined to be rowdfes on the
field must not be permitted to negative
the good results achieved in recent years
of watchfulness. The patrons of the
popular American game appreciate this
attitude. Baseball has strong hold
upon the people. There are millions
who like to watch it played The over
whelming majority want clean sport
on the diamond. It requires little ar
gument to prove that rowdyism Is a
losing proposition in the long run A
manager or player who is debarred
from the game for a few days because
of offensive language or conduct often
INJURIES his team greatly. From the
point of view of playing strength, row.
dyism is harmful. From the point of
view of those who like square, honest
lighting and who patronize the team to
see real sport it has no place in base

Congregation OF Ono.


From a mission in Null with 5000
a year, DIR. Cameron Lees went to one
of the remotest parishes in the High
Landslide parish of Carnoch-a
shadow of a congregation. The peo-
pie had been all swept into the Free
Church, and handful only were left
in the Moderate Kirk" There on
one stormy Sunday the young min
lister preached to a congregation of
one. The Gaelic service was the first
service of the day, and only one man,
Macrae by name-Macrae of Achior-
achan, the legend says-braved the
elements and came to the Gaelic SER
vice. The minister went out and ask
ed him to come into the manse and
wait for the English service, but the
promise" said Macrae, sis this. Where
two or three are gathered in my
name, and where the two or three
will be. there too will be the blessing;
and T am one and you are two-and
we will just go on with the service"
And the service did go on, and the
young minister preached TO the Gaelic
congregation of one.-Lolldon Globe.

A California Garden.

H. E. Huntington. who is building a
country mansion on the old Shorb
rancho, II miles northeast of Los An
geles, is ransacking the earth for rare
trees and shrubs to grace his beauti-
full grounds of 46S acres. Already the
landscape admirably balances with hill
and dale, plain, plateau, and deep can
yons on the edge of the San Gabriel
valley, containing the largest collection
of old oaks in the south, and to these
the trolley magnate has added $23, 900
worth Of plants from many lands, while
expanding 100000 On the grounds, upon
which 40 gardeners have been at work
for two years.
Every week shipments of trees and
shrubs from Asia, Africa, and South
America arrive. Huntington has just
bought $1,000 worth of trees in China
and Japan. Included in these are FIVE
palms, which cost 5000 to $3.50 each.

The Cri de Paris prints story of Sarah
Bernhard which has a characteristic
ring to it. In Belle Isle, where she in
stalls herself every summer, leading an
absolutely out-of-door and simple life, she
plays the Lady Bountiful. In the tiny
commune in which she is rated as resi-
dent, the great tragedienne gives money
freely to all local and charitable OBJ
jeets.
With particularly noble gesture she
presented a lifeboat She requested that
1t should be called after her. The fathers
of the commune sat and pondered the
matter. They accepted the lifeboat, but
hey declined to call 1t THE Sarah Bern
hardt."
1t was argued that to put to sea in a
storm under the aegis of an actress, how
ever distinguished, was like tempting
Providence.
The mouthpiece of this sea-faring su-
perstition was the cure, who had received
many demonstrations of La Grande
Sarah's bounty-a fact, I imagine, that
made the blow he inflicted the harder to
bear 1t is just possible that the tight
lit island of Belle Isle will have to wait
for its lifeboat.

The deeper, therefore, we breathe the

What impels our body to inhale oxy-

oxygen is propelled into our blood and the
more vivid our respiration.
Thousands of persons have no idea

to gasp for it eagerly. They all forget to

'Inhaling and exhaling, or the process

to apply this law in order to save our

chef has impaired a delicious sugges-
ton to the moues, Just that indehnable,
evanescent memory Of garlic-garlic
which in the hands of the ordinary cook
is an offensive and deadly weapon nest
ling amid water-cresses, and then, per-
haps, some peaches in a little basket
where the fruit is EMBODIED in leaves
from its own tree and ripened to pre-
cisely the right turn on some ancient
wall in the sunshine Of an old French
garden.
Then, perhaps, some pulled bread and
bit of Camembert and a cafe Maza-
gran in long glass. No one remembers
now the battle that gave its name to this
particular preparation of coffee, which
shows that man may come and empires
may fall and armies may be dashed into
fragments upon the battlefield, but the
genius of cookery remains triumphant
and its achievements are never lost.
