erybody knows, the violet grows in the
shade, In pastures, woods and fields
where the grass Is abundant and long.

flowers at a time when the grass is

VAGARIES OF WEIGHT.
How Can a>Pound of Food Make One
Three Pounds Heavier?

Here are two personal experiences
Of my own that are equally striking.
After having put on rather too much
weight, probably through excess and
other mistakes Of food and drink"
played a severe tennis match and lost
seven pounds in weight. Then / took
O glass Of wine and at once by this
put on two pounds. Then l took a
meal slightly larger than usual and
put on another two and half pounds,
though the meal itself weighed only
one pound.
On another occasion when / had
tasted for day or two and had natu-
rally lost two or three pounds day
ate a meal weighing about one pound
and went up in weight not one pound,
but three pounds.
How can only one pound In food
add three pounds in weight?
How, in the case Of other people,
can three pounds-a days food and
drink-add nothing at all?
in my own case one principle ap-
pears, and this Is that my nature IL

phenomenon Is that Of the shampooer

SWOONED AT THE BELL.
Odd Effect Of One Cure Through the
Subliminal Consciousness.


A very well known oculist tells OF
one case where healing through the
subliminal consciousness was really a
source Of embarrassment to the physi-
clan who was responsible for 1t. Sew
eral years ago when the eye specialist
he knows about ears and throats, too
was studying in Vienna young girl
was brought to the hospital to be treat
ed for some nervous disorder. Hypno-
tism-or suggestion, as one Is asked to
call it these days-was used, and she
was brought under his influence by
the ringing OF a bell. After a few
treatments she went to sleep, or into
the unconscious and receptive state. as
soon as she heard the bell She was
speedily cured and left the hospital.
Next day she was brought unconscious,
reused and sent away. The day after
that she was brought in again. Indeed,
for some time scarcely n day passed
when she wasn't carried In limp and
unconscious. She became a positive
nuisance to the great neurologist that
had hypnotized her, and he finally sent
persons to watch her. 1t was found
that on her way to work she passed n
certain church and usually was at the
door at the moment during the cele-
bration Of the mass when the bell rang
At its tinkle she calmly curled up and
went to sleep. 1t was necessary to
suggest to her the next time she was
brought to the hospital that no bell in
the world could have any effect on her
except the one rung in the hospital by
the neurologist. After that she went
about the city quite unaffected by the
bells. and the neurologist drew a breath

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
The Way the Captain Of q Slave
Trader Was Convicted.


Romance writers are often blamed
for making the plots OF their stories
turn upon slight chances and improba-
BILE Incidents, but here is an incident
In real life stranger than fiction.
In 1899 the cutter Sparrow brought
the brig Nancy into harbor at Kings
ton, Jamaica, under suspicion that she
was engaged in the slave trade. But
although many circumstances pointed
to this fact, no clear proof could be
obtained, as the brig had no papers
from which the charge could be sub
stantiated. The suspected vessel was
therefore discharged, but the day be-
fore she left the harbor q man-of-
war arrived, bringing some documents
that clearly proved her guilt.
These papers had been obtained In
a "highly improbable manner" While
cruising off the coast Of Santo Domin-
go the crew Of the man-of-war had
amused themselves by fishing for
sharks. One monster was captured
and cut up on deck, and In its stom-
ach was found q bundle of ships
papers, the very documents flung over
board 10y the captain Of the Nancy
when he was boarded by the Sparrow
Curiosity led the captain Of the man
of-war to clean and examine the
papers. and the result was that he
brought them before the authorities at
the nearest port. The unlucky brig
was condemned on this romantically
acquired evidence. - st. Paul Pioneer
