Strength and Keenness.

Bernarr Macfadden. in Physical Culture
Few Of us appreciate the tremendous
influence of the physical body upon ones
general mentality. The mind Is credited
with such IA vast influence over the body
as to be actually able to cure serious
chronic ailments, and / am firmly con-
Vinced that II does possess such power
IN few instances. The value for in
stance, of cheerfulness and hopefuIness
can hardly be too strongly emphasized
The value also of strong determination
TO accomplish certain results Is rarely
properly appreciated. / am fully confident
that the influence of the body upon the
mind Is almost equally as great In other
words, a diseased body cannot possibly
create that Particular quality of blood
which is necessary TO thoroughly nourish
the brain. Therefore. the brain and the
entire nervous system are affected by this
impoverished nourshment. Even when
every effort of the mind is made with a
view of counteracting influences OF this
kind you can we'll understand that the
mind would not have the same power as
if II were supplied with different quality
OF nourshment. n weak body. for IN
stance, cannot endow one with strong
determination. The weak body usually
means a weak will.
II is clear that any effort that might
be made for the purpose of thoroughly
developing the body in all its parts will
also enable one to secure rich rewards
from mental standpoint. With more
powerful body you are endowed with a
greater. degree of mentality You will
have what might be termed more mental
force. You will have more driving
power" behind your mental efforts Your
conclusions will be more hrmiy nxe0 ana
YOU will be more capably equipped to
light for them in the arena OF existence.

ROMANCE OF A MISER.
Table Always Laid for an Absent
Bride.

From the London Express.
A miser who had lived for years in
squalor on a few shillings a week, while
he was in receipt OF an income of E60O
a year-and had, it is believed, 100000
worth OF property-has just forsaken his
solitary life and sought better shelter
in a Stafford hospital.
His name is John Clarence Hudson
For a considerab BILE time he has tenanted
a small house in Railway terrace, Sal
ford. There he lay i'll, until at last he
was driven to ask for assistance. He
was found by the hospital officials lying
on a bedstead covered with a dirty rag,
with a stick by his side to keep the rats
from his food.
II can do well on two shllings
week" he told the officials. His food
supply was said to be as follows:
Half penny's worth of milk every
four days.
One loaf of bread week.
One-half pound OF sugar every three
months.
Half a pound of meat a week.
Yet he admitted that he had G3,o0O
worth of railway stock and some house
property, and it is stated that he re-
ceived a legacy of G:0.O00 from his par
ents. He also declared that he had not
been bathed for twenty years. and it took
two nurses two hours and n half to make
up the arrears in this respect.
But amid all the squalor Of his home

dead romance. A table was laid in one

efforts this year. The bill passed by the
House and now before the Senate was
submitted to Congress by them. 1t is
different from either of the former meas
ures. in that il provides that all the cost
of the extension should be assessed as
benefits.
Tire commissioners have informed the
District committees of Congress that they
have decided this latest the best bill to
accomplish the purpose.
This conclusion mas been reached,
they have explained, first, because the
corporation counsel advises the Commits
sioners that requirement that the meas
ure of damages for improvements, if any.
should be a determination by the jury of
the cost of their removal to adjacent
grounds. would complicate and probably
vitiate the entire proceedings: and. sec
Ond, because il has been concluded that
benefits to the entire amount of the dam
ages and the cost of the condemnation
proceedings can and should be found in
large proportion by assessments upon
abutt:ng property lying on each side of
the proposed extension between Nebraska
avenue and the District line, the de-
yelopment of this property for number
OF squares on either side of the extension
would be greatly advanced by the pro-
posed extension.

Wine Aged With Ozone.

From the Pathfinder.
AS is we'll known wine Is much better
twenty years after 1t has fermented than
a few weeks after. but the process of
aging keeps q good deal of capital tied
up and winemakers have been very eager
TO get hold of some way of aging the
wine quickly SO IL can be put on the mar
ket a short time after being made. The
action of oxygen in the wine will cause
it to improve. but until recently a good
method for this artificial aging had not
been discovered. BY the successful meth
cd oxygen is introduced into the new
wine. where ii is transformed into ozone.
A tubular electrode is connected with a
tank of oxygen. and into the cask is in
serted an induction coil, SO that a portion
of the oxygen which goes into the cask
is converted into ozone by the electric
current. The process Ii allowed to go
on during a period OF from twenty to
ninety minutes, and In some cases for
six hours Afterward it Is necessary to
allow a little natural aging TO take place.
but IL Is claimed that new Bordeaux
wines after having been treated with the
oxygen, will in from forty to sixty days
acquire the quality of wine which has
been kept in bottles for many years.

which comes within the freedom Of the
