Bad for Fpicures.

1t frequently happens that those
epicures who daily with the toothsome
pate de foie gras are afflicted with gas
trio troubles to such an extent that life
becomes burden and they would will
ingly fill themselves with husks, after
the manner of the prodigal, if they
could secure relief thereby. This deli
cacy is made of the enlarged livers OF
geese, and in order to aggravate the
af1liotion Of the goose and get larger
livers, IL is the custom to feed the bird
quantities of certain variety of sorrel
which contains an excess of binoxalate
of potash. This chemical gets into the
goose's liver, causes hypertrophy of
that organ, and Is the prime cause of
the epicure's stomach ache.-Chicago

Must BE an AstrOIogor.
[ro BE Continued

Ignorant people think that an as
tronomer is also an astrologer. Sir John
Herschel once received a letter asking
him to cast the writer's horoscope. An
other letter-writer requested the dis
tinguished astronomer to consult the
stars and answer these two questions:
"Shall 1 marry?" and "Have 1 seen
her?" Maria Mitchell records in her
journal that on an Atlantic steamer an
lrishwoman, learning that she was an
astronomer, asked her what she could
tell. Miss Mitchell answered that she
could tell when the moon would rise,
when the sun would rise. and when
there would be an eclipse Of the moon OF
of the sun. "Oh!" exclaimed the disap-
pointed woman, in a tone which plain
ly said: SIS that ALP" She expected
to have her fortune told. Once in a
town not far from Boston, during q
very mild winter, Il lad, driving team,
called out to Miss Mitchell on the street,
saying: II want to ask you a question,
Miss MITCHELL" She stopped. He
asked: "Shall we lose our ice crop this
winter?"-Youth's Companion.

advocate of an unworthy cause, mental
short-sightedness stands ready to dis

the case of a letter. the dispassionate

itself easily to inferential misconstruc-

Elsie Duncan write such letter as

man in the universe who is capable of
calling out the best there is in her; and
l don't blame her. She may find the

to be more nearly divine appointment

TORNADO SWEEPS
EASTERN MICHIGAN
THREE KILLED IN STORM IN
VILLAGES NEAR DETROIT
SUNDAY NIGHT.
STORM VELOCITY Is 40 TO go
MILES AN HOUR.
The Worst Wind and Electric Storm
In Many Years Sweeps Over
Eastern Section Of the
State.

Sweeping through the city and state
at velocity varying from 40 to 80
miles an hour, an electrical storm
that assumed tornado features out
side of Detroit, did tens of thousands
Of dollars damage Sunday night.
The storm area extended down into
Ohio, and, according to reports to
the Detroit weather Office, 1t was the
heaviest storm since the tornado that
destroyed Ypsilanti 20 years ago.
Trees were uprooted or snapped
off. houses were twisted on their
foundations, barns were blown to
pieces, while telephone, Geographic
and rail communication was cut off
or seriously impaired throughout
Michigan and Ohio. Heavy objects
were lifted and carried hundreds of
feet by the wind, and many miracu-
lous escapes from death were re-
ported.
In Detroit the strength Of the
storm was not as severely felt as in
the suburbs. The velocity OF the
wind In Detroit never exceeded 60
miles an hour, while in the outside
territory it attained speed Of SO
miles, and varied between that point
and 60 miles for 80 minutes.
Thoroughfares within a radius of
Is miles of the city were Uttered
with trees, limbs, boards, barrels,
boxes, in fact, everywhere that was
movable and that had been left out
side. Trolley wires were snapped
when trees or poles fell on them
and electric service on different In
terurban lines was delayed sometimes
for hours. In the city street cars
were not attempting to run on sched'
