RELIC OF DISTANT PAST.

There is now in the natural his
tory museum at Paris fine speci-
men of mammoth with the flesh
parts preserved to a certain extent.
The specimen was offered to the mu-
scum by the count of Stenbock-Fer-
NOR, who found it in one of the
islands of the Siberian region. After
extracting it at his own expense he
brought it to Europe by sled, boat
and railroad. This is probably the
only specimen of the kind which
central Europe possesses, for the
Russian government has issued a
ukase prohibiting any export of the
mammoth, either entire or in part.
Such animals preserved in the ice
have been known since 1906, but the
only specimen preserved under these
conditions up to the present and
brought to Europe is to be found
at the museum of the Academy, of
Sciences at st. Petersburg.

EXCUSE MADE FOR THE BOY
Court Attendant Satisfied That the
Ends Of Justice Were Being
Duly Observed.

A new court attendant was being
drilled for his duties in general ses-
sions not long ago. 1t was his first
day in court. There came to the
witness chair a dull-looking boy.
"Hold up your right hand" or
dered the clerk.
The boy raised his left hand.
Hold up your right hand" COM
manded the judge. The boy did not
understand. 1t was plainly a case of
the obstruction of justice, and the
attendant hurried to the witness
stand. Then after a minute he
leaned over the bench.
'It's all right, judge" he said in
a raucous whisper, ode boy gimme
his void he's left-handed. New

ADORE cLERGYMEN.

The clergyman should be adored
at a distance. He is but human, and
a nearer relationship often furnishes
too close a view of his purely human
failings. Like the author and artist,
when married he is a stay-at-home
husband, and even the housemaid
loses respect for the man who is
turned out of the dining room in
order that the breakfast table may
be cleared, and is at the mercy Of
every domestic inconvenience. He
forfeits the mystery and unfamiliar
ity which are valuable aids to love-

TANGLED LEGAL QUESTION.

The interesting question whether
a workman can be legally forced to
undergo an operation to make him
well again has been decided in the
negative at Fribourg, Switzerland.
The man, while at work, met with
an accident and his employer had to
pay him compensation for several
weeks. The doctors, however, state
that if the man submitted himself to
an operation he would be cured in
a short time and be able to work.
But the man, supported by his wife,
fears that he will not recover from
the operating table, and refuses to
undergo the ordeal.

LIVED FOR MONTH IN SEWER
Remarkable Experience Of italian,
Who Has a Possible Chance
Of Recovery.

In sewer for month, a painter of
Milan, Italy, has just been rescued
from his unwholesome position.
Some workmen who were repairing
the city sewers-the largest in Italy,
extending over 200 miles-were
startled by the apparition of gaunt,
tattered man covered with mud, who
in much exhausted state invoked
their aid. The man was rescued
with difficulty and conveyed to hos
pital, where food and restoratives
were given him. He said he was
painter, aged eighteen. A month
ago, while sleeping in the open air,
he was assaulted by three hooligans,
who robbed him and then threw him
into the sewer. By sheer force Of
will he had succeeded in living a
month underground, continually
wandering along the sewers, daily
trying to find an exit, cropping in
the darkness, fighting rats, eating
refuse and drinking filthy water. The
painters exhaustion is so great that
he requires three months hospital
treatment before his recovery is GER
tain.

Like New Store Fronts.

Making over store fronts Is an In.
dustry which has found so many pa
irons in New York that a number of
firms have found 1t profitable to set
aside all other forms of building and
devote themselves wholly to helping
New York merchants improve the ap-
pearance Of their esta blishments by
putting new face on the matter. All
classes of merchants, from the small
dealer in the suburb to the great dry
goods firms, indulge in the luxury Of
q new kind of front to their business
homes every once in so often.

POISON FAMOUS in HISTORY
Record Of Use ct Arsenic for Murder
May Be Found In Every Page
Of Past Records.

A certain morbid interest attaches
to all poisons, the greater, the more
deadly the drug. The Eaton case
has drawn especial attention to ar
senic both as a medicine and deadly
poison. Excepting possibly the BIZ
chloride Of mercury, few toxic sub
stances are so common, for the arse
mates and arsenites are not only
much used in medicine, but are like
ly to be encountered in commercial
substances, wall paper, dyestuffs, etc.
Arsenic has been known since an
cient times. The word means mas
culine or powerful. In the sixteenth
century it was used for homicidal
purposes in the form Of aqua tofana,
and in literature has been the most
celebrated of poisons. Although
considered one of the most powerful
poisons, it is less so in its ordinary
forms than potassium cyanide and
the alkaloids, though in combination
with hydrogen it becomes one Of the
deadliest substances known, the
slightest Whit of the gas being suf-
fcient to insure death. In the COM
mon form, the trioxid, or "white ar
senic," one or two grains cause
death. . Il"

tragedy at Klausenberg, Hungary, a
few days ago, when one Of the &C.
tresses died from injuries received
while playing her part. Thousands
OF people had collected near a mill
sluice on the Szamos river to watch
the acting of scene depicting the
overturning of a boat during the
crossing of the river. AS the boat
overturned ten of the actors and &C.
tresses were drawn into the mill
wheels. The onlookers saved all the
unfortunate people, but one OF the

EsPITE the war in Europe and
the continued unsettled condi-
- lions in Mexico, 1914 has been
one of the best and most active real
estate years in the history Of FL Paso,
in the opinion Of local realty brokers.
More new tracts have been placed on
the market than during any previous
year and the building Of houses and
apartments has been unprecedented,
but despite this fact the demand for
good property and houses is still large.
Not before in the history of the city
has the demand for rent houses been
so great. This has resulted in the
settling up Of entire sections that, a
year ago, boosted only a few isolated
houses. More apartment houses have
been built this year than in any pre-
vious year, but there is hardly an
apartment vacant in the city. Money
has been easier for the last month or
so and real estate men are firmly of
the opinion that the new year will see
building on a heavy scale.

When we eructate sour food. acrid

mean the stomach is lacking in diges-
tive juices, says a noted authority who
states that nearly all stomach distress
and indigestion is result of acidity
meaning, there is an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the digestive organs.
This irritating acid retards digestion
and promotes food fermentation. Then
everything eaten sours in the stomach
like garbage sours in a can. forming
gases which initiate the stomach like
