Hammurabi and Moses.

There is no foundation for the
claim, advanced in certain quarters,
that Moses copied his laws from the
code of Hammurabi of Babylon. The
best scholars are positively of the
opinion that there is no ground what
ever for supposing that the Hammu-
rabi code was known to or came with
in the purview of Moses. The very
contrast between the Babylonian code
and the Mosaic laws would seem to
give pointblank. evidence of the fact
that Moses had no access to the Baby
lonian laws as epitomized in this code
The laws of Moses are full of sanitary
provisions, provisions for the Sab
bath, provisions against unnatural
crimes, provisions regulating priest
hood, none of which subjects is dealt
with in the Hammurabi code.

CHANGE THE VIBRATION
1t Makes For Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, po-
ratoes, coffee, and ETC., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at
once for the reason that meat eater
will reach a place once in a while
where his system seems to become
clogged and the machinery doesn't
work smoothly
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink OF the highest
value, already quickly digested and
capable Of being quickly changed into
good, rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which
it Is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
soft gray substance which fills brain
and, nerve centres.
A few days use of Grape-Nuts will
give one a degree Of nervous strength
we'll worth the trial.

New York Man, Identified, Tells Why
He Killed Wife.

Mobile, Ala.-Julius venner, alias
Alexander Klein, was positively iden-
titled here as August Petersen, who
murdered his wife, Sophie Johansen,
in a West Ninety-eighth street tene-
ment house in New York City, on
February last and concealed the
body under the floor of the place. The
identification was made by brother
of the murdered woman,
Petersen, after the Identification,
broke down and confessed to the kill
ing and expressed a willingness to re-
turn to New York without requisition
papers.
II killed my wife," said Petersen,

room with another man. About dark

front door. After making me wait
for some time the door was unlocked
and my wife asked me what was the
trouble. The man went out of the
front door.

Natural Gas.

Natural gas is member of the
paraffin series formed by the decom-
position of animal matter, as in Ohio
and Indiana gas, and from vegetable
matter, as in Pennsylvania gas, this
decay having occurred within the
rocks, and probably at moderate tenn
peratures. When once formed it ac-
cumulates in the pores of the rocks
in which it originated, or in the over
laying layers, but is usually kept
from escaping to the surface by the
presence of some layers of impervi-
GUS rock. 1t is then obtained by the
piercing of these strata by wells, or
where the beds have been assured by
folding or faulting, it may issue from
natural channels,

He IS NOT GUILTY
Never Took Bribe Of $1,000
He Says.
BRIBERY TRIAL AT ALBANY
Witness, On Stand All Day, Charac-
terizes Conger Story as lie
Declares He Never. Saw Frank
in His Life.

Albany, N. Y-Taking tn, stand
in his own defense, Senator Jotham
P. Aids denied that he demanded and
received a bribe of $1,000 on April
%, 1901, to influence his action on
the highway legislation. More than
that, he swore he never received any
money from any one at any time to
influence his action on highway or
bridge legislation, and in his denial
he used the short and ugly word "lie."
Emphatically as he could Senator
Aids declared he never saw Frank
Conger in his life. When the testi-
mony of Senator Benn Conger regard
ing visit of Senator Aids to his
apartments, where he agreed to do
all he could to kill the highway legis-
lation for $1,000, was read to him by
Martin w. Littleton, his counsel, Sen
ator Aids half raised himself from
the witness chair and, pointing his
finger at the lawyer, said hoarsely
'Mr. Littleton, there are two lies
there. First, the conversation never
took place, and I never went to his
apartments.
He contradicted the story of Hiram,
G. Moe and Senator Benn Conger alb
solutely and entirely. He related the
story of his movements on that last
day of the session of 1901 and put
into the evidence statements of the
two bank accounts he maintained,
one at Norwich, his home, the other
in bank here. And he told about
his employment by the Forest Pur-
chasing Board as title searcher, CIV
ing a list of the sums he received for
that service.
Senator Aids was ON the stand
under direct examination all day, de-
spite bad attack of bronchitis, which
put him in bad shape physically.
The big marble chamber was filled
to the top seat in the gallery. There
were more women than men. Aids
in his many years of service has made
hundreds of friends in Albany and all
were. present to cheer him through
his examination. His frock coat, bou-
tonniere, silk hat and moon face have
been features of Albany society. His
good nature, always on tap, made him
a welcome figure in the topside of
life of this city. Therefore Albany in
part turned out to welcome him and

sentiment beats logic mile when the
human side appeals.
1t was a friendly crowd in greater
part that the Chenango Senator faced
when he took the stand. The frown-
ing Osborne and the alert Van Wyck,
counsel for Conger, were only remote
shadows in big group, for all the
atmosphere was for Aids from the
flowers to the pretty women and their
escorts.
The accused Senator did well as a
witness. He answered with the quick
ness of a schoolboy His usual good
nature was with him for almost every
minute of the time. Smiles ran over
his face with regularity His eyes
laughed in the old way that made
him so popular years ago when every
body called him Joe"

A Star That Winks.

There is in the constellation Pc
gasus little variable star that may
reasonably be said to wink Two or
three times in the course of single
night this curious star can be seen
to fade and then to brighten like a
signal light. For about two, and
three-quarters hours it becomes faint
er and fainter; then comes a change,
and at the end of two and three-quar-
ter hours more it as bright as at the
beginning. Unfortunately, it can be
seen only with a telescope. Yet it
ranks as sun.-Harper's Weekly.

Peonies For Medicine.

Peonies were originally esteemed
less for beauty of bloom than for
value as a medicine. In recognition
of it's curative virtues the peony was
named after Paeon, the physician of
the gods. An old writer says: about
an infants neck hang peonie. 1t
cures Alcydes' cruell maladie." Nor
did the use of the plant stop there.
for peony water was esteemed and
drunk in bygone times, though wheth-
er as medicine or merely as refresh
ing temperance beverage is more than
modern writer's can say.

ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
Steps to Have Fortune Used For
Benefit of Mankind.
Incorporation Bill Introduced in Sem
ate at Westinghouse Be En-
dowed by j. ID. Rockefeller.

Washington, D. C.-Steps were
taken to incorporate the Rockefeller
Foundation in the District of Colum-
biag A bill for this purpose was in
troduced by Senator Gallinger, of
New Hampshire, and was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary. The
purpose of the foundation is to pro-
vide for a general organization to
conduct philanthropic work along all
lines. 1t is understood that the foun-
dation will be endowed largely by
John D. Rockefeller, and that he
takes this means to dispose of large
part of his enormous wealth.
The incorporators named in the
bill are John d. Rockefeller, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., Fred T. Gates, Starr
J. Murphy and Charles o. Heydt.
The Rockefeller Foundation, ac-
cording to the bill, is organized to
promote the we'll being and advance
the civilization of the people of the
United States and it's possessions in
foreign lands, and for the acquisition
and dissemination of knowledge; for
and the promotion Of any and all of
1t was stated by Senator Gallinger
that Mr.. Rockefeller already had
given away S52,000,000 through the
General Educational Board and his
gifts altogether are estimated at
119,304,000, and that he was seek
ing a method of disposing of his for
tune that would benefit mankind.
The foundation is organized on lines
-. d.
for the advancement of teaching. AS
in the case of the latter institution,
the Rockefeller Foundation will be
authorized to receive and dispense
gifts of money other than those OBJ
tainel from the original endowments,
the amount of which has not been
fixed.
The fortune of John D. Rockefeller
has been variously estimated at from
100000, 900 to 1,000,000.000. In
1907 Frederick T. Gates, commonly
known as John D. Rockefeller's
almoner," made the statement that
the fortune would be found to be, on
the financier's death, between $780,
100000 and $500, 100000.
There have been amusing mis-.
statements about Mr. Rockefeller's

with a fortune of thousand millions,
and recently statements have been
published throughout the country
that he has yearly income of $780,
100000 Mr.. Rockefeller himself
has authorized the statement that his
fortune cannot exceed $500, 900, 900,
and his income in his most prosperous
year has not been more than $780,
100000. The public generally is un-
der the impression that he owns a
majority of the Standard Oil stock.
AS mater of fact, his holdings of
Standard Oil stock are about twenty
per cent"
On the other hand, only the year
before, Henry H. Rogers was quoted
as saying:
II know for fact that Mr.. Rookie
feller's income this year will be sixty
millions" John D. Archbold, who
was in the room when this statement
was made, is reported to have agreed
with the estimate. At that rate it
was computed at the time that Mr..
Rockefeller made more than $780,
600 a day, or about $1,000 an hour.

San Francisco RECEIVERS.

Financially and commercially the
city is now very close to the normal
basis, and it is evident that popula-
ton and business are having regu-
lar normal increase. Doubtless our
population is less than it would have
been at this time had we met with no
disaster, but it is certainly larger
than ever before, and if we take in
the whole metropolitan area which
would be included in Greater San
Francisco" it is improbable that
growth has been checked in the least.
