Insanity in a man was demonstrated in a singular fashion yesterday. In the afternoon, wearing the ribbon of the Le- zion of Honor, he left a cab and entered a Christmas bazaar in the Rue de Rivoli. Proceeding to the china department he ordered five dinner services to be set aside for him and gave the assistant his name and address. He next went to the toy department and ordered six dolls. who could say Papa, Mamma" eight punches, three theatres, 15 aeroplanes, 12 airships, etc. The assistant ventured to remark to the buyer he had a large num- Der of Christmas presents to purchase. "Do not speak of it, my dear sir replied the buyer. My family is composed of persons, big and little. not to speak of numerous friends" He now strolled into another department and ordered fishing rods valued at 600 francs. Up till that moment he had made purchases to the amount of 5000 francs. He was closely watched, and it dawned upon the shop walker that this departmently wealthy customer did not enjoy the plentitude of all his faculties. He was taken before a police commissary, but refuse to dis close his real identity and was taken to the lookup. It turns out that he Is the proprietor of a dairy.

IMMIGRATION IS
 BEING SOUGHT

Larel, Miss, January 9.-(Special.)- The most important announcement in connection with the movement to divert the tde of immigration into the cut-over land of south Mississippi has just been mad by the Eastman Gardiner Lumber comnny to the effect that 25,000 acres of theii stump land, covering an area 20 mile across, will be placed on the mar ket ior settlement as soon as the lands can be listed and graded. The market ing operations will be conducted. by F. J. SullFan, the company's land and timber department manager. The tract extends romLaurel westward as far as the Leaf riverat Taylorsville, and surrounds such important towns as Soso, Service. Gitano and summerland. The lands will be mar kete, at a reasonably low figure and on ternB that will bring them within the reacl of the average immigrant settler. MT. Sullivan has made 1t known that the resent occupants of the land within the area who wish to increase their hold ings will have the preference in the dis- tribuion, and they are required to file their applications for the same at once. As tiis land, situated in Jones and Smith and Jasper counties, Is among the most fertile in the state, it is expected that the opening of the same will bring quite a rush of buyers and settlers as in the days of the opening of the Indian Ter ritoiy lands by the government.

.ROSTAND'S PLAY
 IS ON REHEARSAL Great Secrecy EnveIeps Placing
 Of Performance A FRENCHMANS INSANITY Is Arrested When He Buys Christmas Presents by the Thousand Francs
 and Will Not Disclose
 His Identity.
By PAUL VILLIERS.

Paris January 9-Edmond Rostand's s new play, "Chanticler," concerning which there has been so much secrecy and ac- tual doubt as to whether it would be pro- duced at all, was put into rehearsal to- day at the Porte Saint Martin theatre The characters in the play are birds and animals, represented, of course, by art ists, who will include M. Coquelin. Mime. Simono, exile Bargy, and M. Galipaux.
 It Is stated today that the rehearsal will last three months, the first perform ance taking place at the end of March. Rostand himself will be present at the re- hearsals, but 1t Is understood that he will not consent to be interviewed on his arrival in Paris or during the rehearsal period. As to the nature of the piece the players are pledged to absolute se- crecy, and 1t Is hinted that the news papers which seek to glean information concerning it will lay themselves open to prosecution. The manuscript of the play was not sent through the post. A spe- cial messenger travelled between the Porte Saint Martin theatre and Cambo, in the Basque country, where Rostand has his home, and brought the manu- script of each act as soon as it was fin- ished.

I have had an interesting interview with Dr. Arnold, who claims to have dis covered cure for consumption. At the recent medical congress at Geneva pr. Arnold read a paper on the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis by inhalation. This paper 9having aroused considerable interest the doctor was invited to develop his theories and indicate the results achieved by his cure.
 The doctor Is of the opinion that pull monary tuberculosis Is a disease against which serums can do nothing. His own cure is the inhalation of antiseptio products judiciously chosen. But this method, he points out must be adopted in time; he does not claim to restore a lung which has been completely de- stroyed.
 Dealing with his experiences. Dr. Ar mold declares that most of his patients who came to him were condemned Now they are restored to perfect health. as their own doctors will testify. A number of patients now under treatment declare that they experienced relief after the first inhalations. The fever disappears; there was cessation of precipitation; the appetite was restored, and there were no more sleepless nights. By Dr. Ar holds treatment the patients only spend two hours in his surgery; during the re- mainder of the day they can follow their ordinary vacations. T have devoted long years to the solution of this peril ous problem" says the doctor, "and the results obtained give me the right to affirm without contradiction that pull monary tuberculosis can be cured. My hope is to propagate this method. to make 1t applicable ito all, so that this terrible scourge can be vanquished ev- anywhere And to arrive at this end, I am ready to accept such control as may be imposed upon me.
 The Investigation of curious crime at Boucheres has resulted in a dramatic confession being made by a woman who wanted to become a widow so that she could marry another man whom she loved. On October 12, M. Louis Jolais, a farmer, led his horses to pond to drink in the absence of his manservant He had just reached the pond when two shots rang out, and the farmer fell mor- tally wounded Suspicion fell on Joseph Foucault, the manservant, 1s years of age, who denied having committed the crime. The authorities were in fix, when FoucauIt's mother declared that her son had really murdered the farmer, and that he had been urged to commit the N by the victims wife. Mime. Jalois wase questioned, and finally ad- mitted that she had urged Foucault to murder her husband, whom she declared she hated and wanted to become a widow so that she could marry the murderer's elder brother when he returned from the regiment.

BEAUTY AND
 BAD BREATH
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a Woman May Try to Make Them.

Cdnnot to oqetner NO Mattef TOW
 Woman May Try to Make Them.
 It does not matter how beautiful wom- an may be, if she is afflicted with bad breath she will be summed and pitied by men and even women will studiously avoid her.
 If any woman doubts this statement let her make a point of asking friend in whom she may confide, a man friend or relative. If he be honest he will tell her that foul breath from the mouth of a woman will drive men from her more rapidly than any other personal affliction.
 Foul breath arouses in Jman disgust and where this quality is brought into play no amount of self-denial or reasoning can overcome the natural repugnance which comes to man when he is in company with such woman.
 What is true of bad breath in woman is not true in so great a degree in men. Women are looked upon as the incarna- tion of sweetness, breeding, virtue and re- nnement Foul breath will sicken a man so that he cannot feel for such a woman a oompanionship necessary to make him desire to be In her company
 There is absolutely no occasion for bad breath in either men or women. Char coal the strongest absorbent known, when taken into the stomach, will prevent this repugnant tendency or affliction.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold in tremendous quantities all over America and Canada. They cure and have cured all forms of bad breath. A single box will convince you of this fact. One should eat some of these lozenges after each meal and upon retiring. You might eat 50 of them without harm. They are not medicine, but pure willow charcoal mixed with sweet honey to make them palatabe and compressed into a lozenge to pre- serve their peculiar and lasting strength.
 The next time you wish to go into com pany and don't want your foul breath to humiliate you. eat several of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your breath will be pure and sweet.
 Every druggist carries them; price 25 cents, or send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

The Figaro relates an interesting expe- rience which happened to Sir Conan Doyle when he arrived in Paris recently. The creator of Sherlock Holmes arrived at the Care de Lyon from the South of France and hailed a cab. When the cab took him to his hotel, and he paid the driver the latter, mentioning him by name, thanked him for his generous tip Naturally the author was astonished, and asked the cabman how he knew his name. q read in the newspapers that Sir Conan Doyle would arrive in Paris from Nice, breaking the journey at Mar seilles and Lyons." replied the cabman. Now I saw that you had had your hair cut by Marseilles barber and that you had still on your boots sopoe of the mud of Lyons. It was therefore not difficult for me to identify you" Sir Conan Doyle was little surprised to find that his own deductive method had been applied by tho cabman to discover his identity.
 He asked the driver If those were the only indications that has guided his as- tonishing perspicacity. My faith, mo-" replied the cabman, with a sly smile. "There was another indication. It was your name, which Is written in large let ters on your trunk.

Merry Party at the Manchesters.

London, January 9.-The Duke and Duchess of Manchester spent their New Year with a merry party at Kylemore Castle, Connemara, the Dukes Irish seat. The castle stands in a sheltered position on lake of the same name, and the mildness of the climate makes the place very pleasant in winter. The Ducal party was large, and in addition to the usual holiday festivities the guests had some excellent shooting.
