been torn from the clothing of her as
sailant during the struggle.
The police were about to repair to
the restaurant and look among the
dancers for a man whose clathing
might show signs of being torn when
it was suggested that dog might be
used. A wolf-hound was procured and
made to smell of the torn cloth. He
started off on the trail, leading the
police through fields and by paths to
the restaurant where the ball was go

ed upon a man who was dancing and
tried to attack him.
The latter was arrested and his
clothing examined A hole was found
into which the piece of cloth exactly
fitted. Confronted by this evidence,
the man made confession. He had
killed Regina because she had left
him for another.

TINY BUSINESS BUILDING

What is believed to be the smallest
business building" in the world is
located at Light street, Baltimore,
Md. This building, for it is build
ing inasmuch as building permit was
required from the city authorities be-
fore it could be erected, stands on a
triangular shaped lot, has a frontage
OF 2 feet inches, depth of 1 foot 8
inches, and is feet tall. The ground
upon which 1t stands is remnant left
when Light street was widened fol-
lowing the great fire of 1904. At that
time the city bought all of the lots
fronting on this street, as it was
then, took what land was necessary
for the reconstructed street, and sold
the remnants at public auction. The
remnant upon which the smallest
building" stands was sold to Joseph
P. Jarboe, who, in common with ad-
jacent owners, enjoys the privilege OF
using a portion of the area way in
the rear. Otherwise his property
would be of little use to him.

When the body is weak and the blood

Obscure influences, something un-
healthful in one surroundings or work,
NAV lead to slow impoverishment of
the blood and an enfeeblement OF the

been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
In such cases a complete change OF

POOR MANS BRICK IN MEXICO

A crude but valuable art In Mexico
is the making of adobe, sun-baked

came they denuded the forests to the
extent that vast tracts were left tree
less. Lumber is thus one OF the rare
commodities of Mexico.
The implements used by Mexican
mud-brick maker are of the most
primitive kind; earthen jars to hold
the water needed in the mixing, a
wooden y 4 in which the mud

only the walls of their homes of the
adobe, and thatch with straw, palm
fronds or banana stalks. Others.
again, form both walls and roof OF
the adobe. When this is the case the
adobe roof is supported by beams. AS
will be readily supposed, the adobe Is

well supported it is likely to collapse

When covered by thick coat of
cement, another production of Next
can art, the adobe walls stand for
years without showing the least sign
of crumbling. There are buildings in
Mexico today, some of them public
buildings, the cement-coated adobe
walls of which were constructed fully
a century ago.

TO REBUILD NOTED THEATER

Once more the Rergola theater of
Florence is to be rebuilt. 1t was or
iginally erected in 1862, and was the
property of a society of aristocrats.
In ITS it was torn down and replaced
by building made of more substaD-
tial material than wood. 1t then had
1000 seats, besides LA boxes, and
gradually became the leading opera
house of Italy. In 1t many first per-

Puccini {the rival of Gluck), Paisiello,
Gimarosa, Cherubini, Donizetti, Ros-
SIM, Verdi, and many others.

LONDON'S ABDUCTION CLUB

Clubs spring up with and without
reason. One of the strangest on rec
ord was the Abduction club organized
in 1706 by some well-connected Irish
youths in London, who banded them
selves together to abduct heiresses
and good-looking young women of gen.
tie birth. AS there was large men,
bership, many forced marriages took
place in consequence of their exploits.
The evil became eventually so serious
that special act of parliament was
passed making abduction capital Of
tense. Two of the members were ex-
ecuted for the abduction of two
wealthy sisters in 1879, but the club
was disbanded till 1902.
