BURIED ALIVE FORTY DAYS.
Queer Test a Hindu Fakir Is Said to
Have Survived.

Queer Test a Hindu Fakir Is Said to
Have Survived.
DR.. Konigberger, physician in the
Punjab doubling the frequently re-
peated stories of the Hindu fakirs who
claimed to be able to sustain life for a
considerable time after burial in the
earth by the process known as "swal-
lowing the tongue" determined to
make the most rigid tests and exclude
all possible fraud.
One of these Brahman fakirs allowed
himself to be buried by the doctor and
his suspicious colleagues in well
fastened and sealed vault. The buria
lasted such a long time-for forty days
that some corn planted upon the sol
above the vault sprouted before the
unhappy fellow was released. Their
the Hindu was freed, subjected by the
doctor to restoratives and lived happily
ever afterward.
Sir Henry Lawrence, an English sci
enlist who assisted the German savant,
substantiated the account. The chest
In which the fakir was buried was
firmly sealed, and when the fellow was
brought out he was cold and apparent
ly lifeless.
Readers of Stevenson will recall the
Master of Ballantrae's fatal attempt to
escape from his murderers by this
trick.-London Family Herald.

BIG NUGGET IS FOUND
Talent Excited Over Find of Gold
Nugget Valued at From $50 to
500 on Wagner Creek.

The town of Talent is pretty we'll
walked up over the find of big
gold nugget by Jonas Splitter on his
placer claim on Wagner creek. The
nugget, which is on exhibition at
Spitzer's grocery store, weighs a lit
tie over six ounces and is thought
from its weight as compared with it's
size to carry close to five ounces of
gold, though the quartz is apparent
ly the greater part of the bulk.
The nugget was found by Mr..
Splitter accidentally, while looking
over the property. A nugget valued
at SIG was found on Anderson creek
few days previous, and the two
finds have sent quite a number OF
amateur and professional miners in
to the territory west of Talent and
several claims have been staked out
Various estimates of the value OF
the Spitzer nugget place it at from
$40 to $12O.

INFLUENZA.
How Il b CAUSED aod Hints n to

(By Dr.. h. r. Daniels)

Influenza, or grip. Il one OF the
commoneSt Of winter diseases, and
Il 10 among the most xef,ous dis.
orders ot this seaaon. Influenza
u . germ disease. It's particular
germ having been isolated and
studied. Il Is contagious disease
and may be contracted from one
who is suffering from this particu.
lar infection. II is also Interesting
to note that influenza Is one Of the
most widespread Of all diseases,
aud there Is scarcely a civilized
country in all the world where it is
not to be found.
While influenza Is germ
disease, it is brought about Just as
are nine-tenths of all the diseases
from which we suffer. through a
wea kened condition Of the body de.
fences. Here let us remember
that germs do not really cause dis
ease. They are only an incident
Of disease processes. Germs can
not successfully attack a really
healthy body. 1t is only when
the natural disease-resisting forces
of the body have been broken down
that germs can find an abode in
the body and bring about disease.
The system must be in weaken
ed condition before the germ can
get in its work.
What are the things that lower
a mans disease-resisting power and
get him ready to be sicki First
and most important, too much food
and badly prepared food. which by
overlooking the organs OF drs estion
brings about a poorly nourlshed
condition OF the body; second. bed.

down the vital resistance and get
the body ready for disease. usually
the disease that is prevalent. The
man that "caiches everything that
is going" always keeps his body
through the above factors, in a
disease favoring condition.
There are three types of intluen
"a, or grip; the kind that attacks
the nasal passages and the throat
the kind that attacks the stomach
and bowels; and the type in which
the greatest effect is upon the
nervous system. All of these types
OF influenza are due to the same
cause. The disease in each in
stance is brought on in the same
way. The different types are pro-
duced as the weakest part OF the
body in each person bears the brunt
Of the attack.
Our treatment Of influenza If not
very different from that Tor cold,
At the onset Of the attack. all food
should be at once discontinued un-
til the attack is we'll under control.
Under these conditions food, even
