Tried Il on Miss Schneider,

Miss Josefa Schneider, Il Turkish
subject. resident in Constantinople,
has brought u suit for damages against
the state which throws a vivid light on
conditions In Turkey under Abdul Ha.
mid II. According to the Paris Bclair
one of Abdul's daughters fell seriously
Ill In the days when he was still padi-
shah and the court physicians recon-
mended an operation for appendicitis.
Abdul refused to give his consent un-
til the operation had been performed
on some one else, to prove that 1t was
not dangerous to life. Miss Schneider.
who had recently spent some time In Il
Constantinople hospital, was handy, so
she was forcibly taken from her house
and deprived of her appendix. Abdul
Hamid was convinced, his daughter
was cured. and now Miss Schneider's
suit is part OF his successors troubles.

AUTUMN.

Thou comest, Autumn, heralded by
the rain,
With banners, by great gales in
cessant famed,
Brighter than brightest silks of
Samarcand,
And stately oxen harnessed to thy
waini
Thou standest like imperial Charlie
magne,
Upon thy bridge of gold; thy royal
hand
Outstretched with benedictions DER
the land,
Blessing the farms through all thy
vast domain,
Thy shield is the red harvest moon,
suspended
So long beneath the heavens over
hanging caves;
Thy steps are by the farmers pray
ers attended,;
Like flames upon an altar shine the
sheaYes;
And following thee in thy ovation
splendid
Thine almoner, the wind, scatters
the golden leaves.

DIR. Flano on Christian Science.

Addressing an audience of nearly
! 900 persons, DR.. Francis j. Fluno,
of Oakland, Cal, delivered lecture
on Christian Science under the aus
pices of the local church of that de-
nomination, few days ago. He was
introduced by Attorney A. r. Brandt,
who stated that the purpose OF the
lecture was to present the fundamen-
tails of Christian Science by way of
correction of mistaken ideas concern
ing the same.
DR.. Fluno held the close attention
of his audience during his address of
an hour and quarter. Among 9TH
er things he said:
christian Science is the science of
being; ii is the law of life, truth
and love understood and demonstrat-
ed. The eternal laws of life, truth
and love that are found having their
foundation in the one God can no
more fail than their foundation, prin-
ciple, the eternal God, can fail. The
science of being is as Independent
as the science of mathematics. Like
the spirit of love, 1t seeks no reward

Manson and "Thirteen,"

The thirteen superstition is not
universal. Or. Nansen can afford to
laugh at 1t. The crew Of the Fran
on its memorable north pole expedition
consisted Of thirteen men, who, after
an absence Of three years, all returned
to their homes in perfect health, de-
spite the trials they had gone through.
Then on Dec. 13, 1898, the doctor rec
ords the birth of q litter of pups.
There were thirteen-a curious coin
cidence-thirteen pups for thirteen
men. Further, DR.. Nansen arrived at
Vardo, in Norway, on Aug. 13, 1896.
and on the self same day the Fran
emerged from her long drift in the ice
into the open sea.

In a railway carriage chat the other
day London medical man told a
good story which had come within
his own experience. A mother was
frequently bringing her child to him
for treatment, but the doctor could
discover nothing amiss except its need
of good wash. She was certain the
infant was suffering from some terri
BILE complaint and begged the doctor
to do his best. He prescribed a daily
wash with the water in which pota-
toes had been peeled. Never sus-
pecting that this was merely a ruse
to get the child washed, the mother
followed the instructions to the let
ter Rosy cheeks appeared, and a
clean, healthy looking child gladdened
the mothers heart. She sounded the
doctors praises everywhere and ad-
vised other mothers to test the eff
cacy Of potato water. 1t never oc-
Cured to her that precisely the same
result would have followed the daily
application of soap and water.

Nerve Strain In Aviation.

Mr.. Grahame- White, the foremost

MONKEYS POST sENTlNELs.
Flight undor Leader and Roll Stones

Aesop's ape, it will be remembered,
wept on passing through a human
graveyard, overcome with sorrow for
its dead ancestors. and that all mon.
keys are willing enough to be more
like us than they are they show by
their mimicry.
An old authority tells that the
easiest way to capture apes Is for the
hunter to pretend to shave himself
then to wash his sace, fill the basin
with a sort of bird lime, and leave It
for the apes to blind themselves. II
the Chinese story is to be believed,
the initiative craze Is even more fatal

In their wild life baboons, as well
as the langurs and many other mon.
keys, undoubtedly submit to the au.
thority OF recognized leaders. There
Is cooperation between them to the
extent that when fighting in company
one will go to the help of another
which is hard pressed.
In rocky ground they roll down
stones upon their enemies. and when
making a raid, as on an orchard
which they believe to be guarded, the
attack is conducted on an organized
plan. sentries being posted and scolt7

One venomous creature there Is in
this country which may justly be
termed a public peril, in the wild
est sense. Proportionately to pop
ulation, more victims fall to it yearly
in the United States than to the
dreaded cobra in India. Some twelve
thousand Americans are killed every
year by it's bite. Three hundred
thousand more are made seriously ill
from the after effects. Unfortunate
ly, the virus works so slowly that
alarm is stilled. The victims do not
sicken at once. The bite is forgot
ten; but ten days or two weeks after,
the subject falls into a fever. His
blood is poisoned within him. Even
tually, in extreme cases, he becomes
delirious, succumbs to a stupor, and
dies.
Yet, because there is nothing hor-
rife to the sensation-loving imagin-
alton in the notwithstanding mos
quito, public inertia or ignorance
tolerates it with grin and permits
it to breed in city and county alike
throughout the length and breadth
of the nation. Compared with it, as
a real menace, all combined brood of
snakes, scorpions centipedes, taran-
tulas, and other pet bugaboos of our
childish romanticism are utterly neg
ligible; are as figment to reality, as
shadow to substance. II is perhaps
characteristic of our wryly humorous
American. temperament that we
should have invested the unimportant
danger with all the shuddering attri-
butes of horror, and have made of
the real peril joke to be perennially
hailed with laughter in a thousand
thoughtless prints. - Everybody S

EXCESS Fare Plan Upheld.

In n decision made recently the public
service street commission, Second DIS
trict. OF New York. sustains the legali
ty OF the practice OF railroad companies
in collecting a 5-cent excess fare FOR pas
sengers not holding tickets on interur-
ban and other trips where tickets are
required and the Issuance OF redeem
able receipts therefor.
The decision was made in the com
plalnt Of james Morris OF Albion, against
the Buffalo. Lockport Rochester Rail
way company.
In the opinion prepared by Commission
er Martin S. Decker, the commission
rules:
IAN iuterurben railroad company Is
entitled to make proper regulations Tor
the collection OF its fares, and requiring
a passenger at ticket station TO pnT-
chase a ticket for delivery 10 the con-
ductor with provision IN case OF failure
for collection OF an excess charge OF .
cents to be refunded at any ticket office
upon demand is reasonable.
"Wherc an interurban electric railroad
company has provided SUFFICIENT mum
ber OF ticket stations, properly distrlb-
utcd along It's line, with numerous stops.
at non ticket points, 10 take on and DIS
charge passengers. and where tho per-

for redemption OF duplex receipts exist
and arc actually used by passengers pay

cent excess fare with redeemable duplex
receipt Issued thereon. is not unreason-
