Hlccouc4s TILL HE sTARvEs
patient Cannot Eat, and Abundance Of
Flesh 10 Wasting.

Chester, Pa.-George Sampsell, aged
IS years, Of this city. is hiccoughing
himself to death. A week ago Samp
sell was taken III with erysipelas in
his right arm. and about the same
time he was seized with hiccoughs.
DR.. Fred II. Evans is doing all he
can to relieve the sufferer, but without
success. The hiccoughing continues
at intervals of every few seconds and
the man is wasting away. He is un.
able to eat; his heart action keeps
growing weaker and the pain he suf.
fers is excruciating.
A week ago Sampsell was a big
strong man. weighing nearly 200
pounds. He is now but a shadow of
his former self, and his face is SO
drawn and distorted from the effects
of the afiiction that members of his
family and his intimate friends would
not recognize him. He must starve
to death, 1t appears.

back up the water 50 you have to get
up In the night and set pans and pals
around at different places to catch the
drips. This happens with compara-
lively new roofs that are improperly
constructed There are a good many
roofs In the north snowy states where
considerable shoveling is necessary
after heavy snow storms. The roof
must aot be too plain and it must
not be too fancy. There Is more in
the general design than in the fancy
features.
Next to the general plan and de-
sign the conveniences for doing the
house work are very important. A

fences that a woman uses every day

amounts to great deal in the aggre-
gate. Everyone likes to see a house
look well from the front, but really
the most important thing is the Gulf
nary department and the accessories
thereto.
In this plan these important fea-
lures have received great deal OF
careful consideration. They are
homely subjects but we have formed
national habit of eating about three
times a day and that foots up to more
than thousand meals during the
year. Women usually are not adopts
at figures, but these facts win appeal
to every woman who has managed a
house as large as this with family
numerous enough to fill it.

Mr. william A. Radiord win answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining 20 the
subject OF building for the readers OF this
paper. On account OF his wide expe-
rience as Editor, Author and Manufac-
turer, he is, without doubt. the highest
authority on all these subjects. Address
all inquiries TO William A. Radford No.
1874 Fifth Ave, Chicago, H.. and only
enclose two-ccnt stamp for reply.
A house 36k4O feet Is Just about the
right size when you want four bed
rooms with good.sizod living rooms
down stairs Il makes a great dc
ference in the cost OF the building
whether you have large rooms or
small rooms.
Many times architects are asked to
design an eightroom house with nc
sizes stipulated but Il is intimated
that large rooms are wanted. When
the plan is finished and the cost com
puted there is an objection at once
on the score Of expense and the ar
chitect is asked to reduce the size
to come within the owners means
This is a difficult task. In the
first place the owner has got his ideas
up to a rather pretentious house and
he has decided that he wants foui
bedrooms. which. with bath room. hal
and stairway means that he mus
either have a house about the size o
this one or he must cut down The
size Of the rooms considerably. The
decision usually Is to make the rooms
smaller, but this often alters the ap-
pearance of the house until the gen
eral effect is disappointing.
If a person can stand the expense
this eight-room house plan Is a good
one; the proportions are right and the
floor space is utilized to the very
best advantage for convenience, sani.
tation and general utility, when con.
sidered as a home for a good-sized
family.

voted to the stairway to make 1t one

SCHOOLOUSTSCUPID.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY oRDEa IS
OBNOXIOUS TO STUDENTS.
No Oates" No Moonlight strolls, No

Lawrence, Kan.-Red rebellion Is
abroad IN the fair city of Lawrence,
where the Olympic heights OF the great
University of Kansas cast their classic
shaoows to the westward for half the
day. and. with equal persIstency. cast
their shadows TO the eastward during
the droning afternoon. Lawrence is a
city Of peace, Of complacent introspec-
tion. of obvious culture and benevolent

OF its beatific air save the occasional
antics OF superenthusiastic students or

emplar OF perpendicular citizenship,

TO the red rebellion.
The University of Kansas was one
OF the pioneer educational institutions
OF this country in granting equal
recognition to young men and women
at the fountain of knowledge. This
has been one Of the secrets Of its great
popularity Thousands of the youth OF
both sexes have passed through It's
portals, and many Of these boys and
girls have gone forth into the world
hand in hand. The social life OF the
university town has always been at
tractive. with practically no restraint
upon intermingling except the or
binary rules Of social intercourse.
The man or woman OF mature years
claiming Lawrence as a dear old alma
mater looks back upon the intimate
but decorous social life OF that town

a-tete, no billing and cooling, save and
except upon the days and nights of
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The
object Of this infringement of ancient
and natural rights is to insure TO both
boys and girls a larger part of their
time for absorbing certain educational
data incidental to the university ca
reer.
But there are numerous and open
protests against the new order. Most
OF the young men and many of the
young women have signed the declara-
tion OF independence formally inaugu-
rating the rebellion.

Novel Process by Which They Keep
All Their Original Freshness.

London.-By a novel process of pre-
serving eggs six months old are made
to retain their new laid" freshness.
The process has been adopted by a
firm Of Hull importers acting on the
theory that an egg decomposes owing
to the entrance of bacteria through
the shell.
The shells by the new process are
first disinfected and then immersed
In a vessel of hot paraffin wax in a
vacuum. The air in the she'll is ex-
tracted by the vacuum. and atmos-
pheric pressure is then allowed to en-
ter the vessel, when the hot wax Is
forced into the pores" of the shell,
which thus hermetically seals it.
Evaporation Of the contents of the
egg. which has harmful effect, is
thereby prevented, and the egg is
practically sterile.
Some new laid" eggs treated in this
manner six months ago have been sub.
mitted to chemical and microscopic
examination and have been found
equal to new laid eggs In every re
spect.
The inside Of the shell showed un'
der careful examination that the wax
penetrates through the pores" the
contents being thus quite immune
from external influences.

Mr.. Ahern found the diamond in a

thought that It was worth the picking
