sells and Ostend.
In the Hungarian parliament interested
members have urged that the Austrian
state railways arrange that the visitors
come to Budapest.
According to officials of the Canadian
Pacific railroad, Austria was the country
chosen because it is said that it offers
more of interest to Americans. but, ow-
ing to various difficulties of transporta-
tion, has not been visited as much as
some other European countries. The
company has issued beautiful illus
trated book describing the country, espe-
cially the points to be visited.

BRANDED AS MURDERER
OF HER WHOLE FAMILY
Prosecutor Declares Mrs.
LindIoff Used Poison to Get
Their Insurance.

CHICAGO, November a.-Mrs. Louisa
Lindloff. the seeress. concluded today
the submission of testimony to bear out
a prediction she professed to have read
in her magic crystal ball of fate
that she would be freed of the charge
of numbering her ffteen-year- son
Arthur. for which she has been on trial
here this week.
The crystal gaZer. maintaining her in
nocence not only of this crime but of
the corrollary charges by the state that
she poisoned four others of her kin,
called to the witness stand several
chemists. They refuted testimony by
the states experts, and upheld Mrs.
Lindloffs defense. that the poison
found in the bodies of her relatives was
taken in patent medicines, which the
victims used to combat a constitutional
disease.
Found No Evidence of Disease.
The prosecution at once began intro
duction of rebuttal testimony.
Three physicians who attended the
Indloff boy and two others of the fam
lily whose deaths the prosecutor had call
ed mysterious in rebuttal, testified that
during their close examination OF their
patients they made no discovery of the
disease Mrs. Lindloff swore they suffered
from.
J. Fl. Price, an insurance agent, said
the applications for insurance made by
Mrs. Lindloff for her son stated specific
ally that the applicant did not have the
ailment she said bn the witness stand he
had
Some samples of medicine found in Mrs
Lindloff's home were declared by the
physicians to have none of the mineral
poison in their composition.

was almost magical. She came in

she settled on the spot for what she
owed. Since then the young man

proper size to slow creditors and he
says it brings them In every time and
invariably mad all over at his at

SLAMS AMAZON GUARD

The members OF this Amazon Guard

MINERALS IN HUMAN sODY

The human body contains, among
other constituents, about two pounds
Of phosphorus, which Is essential to
the health of the bones and the yigor
of the brain. This phosphorus, If ex-
tracted and put to another use, would
make up about 1000 packages of fric-
ton matches.
Besides phosphorus, the body con-
tains a few ounces of sodium and half
an ounce OF potassium. The quantity
Of the latter would be sufficient for
many experiments In a class in chem
istry.
In addition to sodium and potas-
SUM there are a few grains of mag
nesium, enough to make the silver
rain for q family's stock Of rockets
on al Fourth Of July evening or to
create q brilliant light visible at a
considerable distance.

WHEN THEY WORE "PIGTAILS"

The edict sanctioning the abolition
OF the pigtail reminds US thai it is not
so very long since the pigtail disap-
peared not merely from the army and
navy, but even from every day civilian
life in England. Waistlong pigtails
were the fashionable wear in England
about 1740 and before that the bag
wig had been adorned with a pigtail
looped up in a black silk bag. AS late
as 1858 an old gentleman was seen on
C~heapside with his gray hair tied be
hind In a short queue, and even today
we can find a relic of the pigtail, for
the three pieces of black velvet on
the dress tunics of officers in the
royal Welsh fusiliers are the remains
Of the ribbon with which the queue
was tied.

variably does alone at a table d'hote,
he reverses the usual order, beginning
his meal with the sweets and ending

FIRST CAT TAX LEVIED

Munich, in Bavaria, is the first city
in the world to levy a tax p o the
domestic cat. The tax Is SIS, and
every cat is provided with a special
collar and a metal check such as the
dogs wear. Those who are not thus
provided will be caught by authorized
persons. The measure is not popular,
but 1t is considered that there are far
too many cats IN the city, and 1t is
expected that the levying OF the tax
viii result In reducing the numbers

DRUNK WHILE ON DUTY.

We are told that an effort is under
way to attain greater efficiency In
the police department through the
elimination of Objectionable features.
The principal one of these objection
able features 1t is said, is drunk
eness. 1t seems that a newly APP
pointed officer has just been repri-
manded by the acting mayor and
chief of police for being found drunk
while on duty and that other patrol
men have been suspected Of drink
ing while In uniform and have re-
csiyed warnings,
There Ere many citizens in this
city who will agree that It is high
time some action of this kind was
taken. 1t was not so long ago that
a person was heard to remark that
he saw a policeman get on u trolley
ear who was more under the in1u-
ence of liquor than was a man this
same policeman had arrested q day
or two before for being drunk. The
citizen went on to say that this was
a pretty kind of example for a man,
who is paid to uphold the majesty
of the law, to set for the great for
eign population Of this city.
Judging from the account of the
recent proceedings before the act
Ing mayor, intoxicated officers are
more than common, but apparently
the matter has been hushed up in
an effort to save the men from dis
grace.
The plea is made by n who be-
Iieves in keeping such things quiet,
that If one of the city street cleaners
empioyeu oy SoLun4iSslohci Fooii pe-
comes intoxicated there is no time
made about it and little publicity is
given to the matter. Why, then,
should any more attention be paid to
policemen? The argument is ridicu-
ious on the face of 1t. The street
cleaner Is merely one OF hundreds
working by the day whose place can
be filled at q moments notice. He
has no duty to perform as far as
the public is concerned other than
sweep the streets.

TWO EGGS IN TWO MINUTES

Chicken experts say a thing hap
pened at the poultry show Of the Ma
tional Fanciers' club in Indianapolis
which they have never known to hap
pen before. A Buff Orpington hen
laid two eggs In less than two min
utes. There was no room for doubt
that this actually happened as q fam
cier Of reputation was standing by and
saw the thing done with his own eyes.
The first egg was perfectly formed
with a hard shell. The second egg
was large as the first, but had a soft
shell. The chicken men believe this
hen understood nat she was on ex-
hibition and must make a record.
