gate Murder Mystery.

Boston, Oct %, - Acting upon or
ders from District Attorney Pelletier,
the body of Miss Avis Linnell was
taken from the grave in the Oak
Grove cemetery in Hyannis and
brought to this city, The ostensible
purpose in conveying the body back
to Boston was for the purpose of ex-
aiming the interior of the casket to
ascertain If there is a poison con-
tanned in either pocket of bath robe
which is beneath the body and which
the young women had over her the
night she took the fatal draught.
But there is not the slightest doubt
that there is another object in bring
ing the body to Boston 1t is pretty
well understood that another and more
complete autopsy is to be performed.

YOUR MORNING MAIL.

London Lancet, it il daDgerous-very
Professor KrOn has succeeded In trac
ing several cases of contagion to the
old custom Of waiting until you sit
down Mt the breakfast table before
opening and going through your morn

fact that the average man or woman
goes down to breakfast with hands
and face scrupulously clean, teeth
scrubbed and throat gargled. In that
condition be Is prepared to eat with
out danger Of swallowing more dis

escaped the watchful attentions Of the
cook.
But instead Of doing that he handles
letters and papers which have passed
through many hands before reaching
his own. Between bites he opens en-
velopes and wrappers and In doing SO
unthinkingly paves the way for the
absorption of all kinds Of germs which
may or may not do him a great deal
of harm
1t has long been the custom In many
well regulated households where the
breakfast hour Is fixed somewhat late
and where the mail carrier gets around
before breakfast is served to place
each PERSONS morning letters by his

should be abolished at once. Letters
should be opened and read either be
fore or after breakfast, but never at
