Worlds Finest Oroan.

Made in 1925 by the master artison,
Nicolaus Mandeschiet, and described
as the finest instrument of the kind in
the world, an organ has been pur-
chased abroad by an American dealer,
who is said to have paid 100000 for
it. The purchase is linked with the
name of Henry G. Prick. The instru-
ment is of large cabinet size, with
keyboard about three feet long. The
case is richly carved and inside is the
makers portrait and inscription giving
his age and the honors accorded him.
The organ was found in an old cha
teau in the Ardennes region of France,
where it is said to have rested for 200
years. 1t is supposed to have been
seized by French officer at the time
Of the Thirty Years war Saint-Saens
played on it some years ago and pro-
nounced it the finest he had ever
touched.

In times of public catastrophe the

ing the terrible eruption of Vesuvius
IN 1906 / met weird procession of
about so women and girls of all ages,
just where the stream of lava had
ceased between Boscotrecase and An
nunziata. Their hair floating loose in
wild, disheveled locks, was covered, as
were their faces, with the ashes from
Vesuvius and with the thick white
dust of the roads, and their frantic
eyes glowed wildly between the pow
derry lashes. At the head Of the pro-
cession walked priest carrying an
image OF the Madonna, surrounded by
acolytes bearing crucifixes and ban,
ners. These witch-like creatures had
vowed never to brush or dress their
hair (the pride of Italian women, un.

no less memorable eruption in 1881
a still more extraordinary sight was
tnessed-numbers of women and
girls dressed in mourning, with their
heads completely shaven, marching
through Naples following priest car.

suspended their sacrificed tresses in
token of penitence and contrition.
Whether Providence was appeased by
the sacrifice, or whether the sight of
these women "all shaven and shorn,
following their tresses all forlorn,"
was too much for even Vesuvius, the
chronicler telleth not, but he adds
with evident conviction as to the
effiacacy of the vow: And when the

The Wallace Collection.

The Wallace collection bequeathed
to the British nation by Amelle, widow
of Sir Richard Wallace, in 1897, was,
according to the eonnoisseur, j. +.
Blaeker, who writes about it in Lon
don Opinion, then valued at from &c.
100000 to 97000,O00, that is in Ameri-
can money from $30,000,000 to $685.
100000. When Sir Richard had come
to own the finest collection of paint
lngs in London he added largely to it,
and also came to have the greatest col
lection Of arms and armor in Europe.
These treasures are now held to be
worth several times their estimated
value at the time of the bequest, and
Mr.. Blaeker puts upon them the stu
pendous valuation of G50,000,000, that
is $250,000,000. This collection is on
view free every day except Tuesday
and Friday, when sixpence is charged.

SUGAR THE STAFF OF LIFE
Tacoma Physician Comes Forward
With Idea That Has Set Scientific
World to Thinking.

The psychologist who discovered
that your liver and your muscles
manufacture sugar while you sleep
has been surpassed by the German
physician who uses sugar dissolved
in water as an excellent surgical
dressing for all sorts of wounds.
Drs. jacques Pansot and Pierre
Matthew have just declared that when
animals eat sugar exclusively for long
periods their weight at first decreases,
soon begins to mend and then falls
away again as the diet continues.
DR.. H. Head of Tacoma Park, D. c.,
disagrees with these laboratory find
to gasoline. AS the latter is the fuel
of the internal combustion engine, so
sugar is the fuel of the human ma
chine. Sugar, he says, is the staff of
life, and man can produce more en-
ergy from sugar than from any other
food.
A distinguished British heart spe-
cialist has lately proved the efficacy
of lump sugar in the treatment of a
man nearly eighty years old who was
dying with a vicious disease of his
heart. After all the usual remedial
measures had failed one of the maids
asked If there was any objection to
feeding the sufferer lump sugar. The
physician gave his consent and four
Jumps were given in little water.
These were repeated every four hours,
and in a week he was a well man.
Doctor Berzeller recommends to
one of the German medical societies
the use of powdered sugar in the
treatment of old, i'll treated and neg
lected cancers. He says the applica-
ton of sugar to the fetid pests les
sens the disagreeable odor and dis
charges. Furthermore the general
condition of the patient improves and
all hemorrhages, cease. Indeed, I'M
less you have had a long experience
with cahcer patients, you are liable
to be deluded into the belief that the
cancer has healed.

and brought before the muscular
monk. was treated by him to such
energetic language and so terrible
trouncing that the lamps were ever
after left undisturbed.
Now that this primitive system OF
illumination is unnecessary it is still
the custom for the pious to attend to
the shrines, frequently in the fulfill
ment of some vow made to Christ, the
Madonna or some favorite saint, in
gratitude at recovery from illness or
for some other benefit received.
Amongst the poor classes the Gus
tom of making VOWS is very general
in South Italy. Some of them are
very curious and all are most scrupul-
ously and rigidly observed In the
tram the other day l came across a
dear little boy of five dressed as a
Franciscan monk. His grandmother,
soon entering into conversation, with
the charming mixture of affectionate
familiarity and Difference of the
Neapolitan ''popolano," told me that

a vow when in danger at sea to marry

Corpse on Exhibition.
A somewhat CHASTITY custom OF
Spanish origin, which must startle
strangers, prevails among the poor
of placing the dead just within the

glance at the world they are about

~ VEN the least observant of Wis
u itors must have noticed the
N number of shrines in Naples;
Us "A and the reverence shown by
the people when passing them.
Their origin was not entirely due to
piety. In ITO, the streets of Naples
were so unsafe at night that the gov
eminent decreed that lights should be
put at the principal entrances and at
the corners of every public building
and important palace, and further
more ordered that 100 lamps should
be placed at equal distance in one of
the streets as an experiment.
But this first attempt at illumina-
ton proved failure, for the thieves
and cut-throats, to whom darkness
was essential. extinguished the lights
and destroyed the lamps. Then an
energetic Dominican monk, one Padre
Rocco, asked and obtained permission
to illuminate the town without ex-
pense to the government. He ordered
100 large wooden crosses on which
were painted the crucifixion, and sew
eral hundred copies of picture of the
Madonna, which he had discovered
in the convent Of the Santo Splrito,
and having placed these in suitable
inches in the most dangerous streets,
he assembled those living in the vic
Unity and commended each shrine to
the care of the pious, granting as a
privilege the right of supplying the
candles and lamps and keeping hem
lighted.
Found the CuIprit.
But this second attempt to illunina-
ton was at first no more successful
than the preceding one, for the lights
were once more extinguished and the
lamps destroyed. Nothing damted.
Padre Rocco fastened to the scene of
each sacrilege, once more collected
the neighbors, and exhorted them to

NEW DIRECTORY A MODEL
Contains Full Statistics of organiza-
tons in City and Names Many Resi-
dents in Suburban Districts Street
Directory Made Real Feature.

K II
The great growth of Kenosha in the
past two years is reflected in the new
volume of the Wright Directory Com
pany which was issued from the presses
OF the company in Milwaukee today and
which will be circulated in the city on
Tuesday The new directory indicates
a population for Kenosha of 26,7S8.
This is estimated on the same ratio fol-
lowed by the estimators from other d.
rectories and it has been found to be
as nearly correct as government
enumeration of the people Of the city.
The new directory is volume of near
~ five hundred pages and it contains
the names of more than thirteen thous-
and people residing in the city and
the immediate suburban districts. Fig
urirg two people for each one record
ed in the directory, and this method is
regarded as very fair one, the pop
nlation of Kenosha at the present time
is shown to be well over the $4,000.
The figures as shown by the directory
compare favorably with those shown in
the school census recently completed
The growth of Kenosha is a steady
one, said one Of the directory officials
today. The size of the book is great
ly increased this year and this of
course indicates a corresponding in
crease in the number of people in the
city. We are not putting the estimates
of population into the books any more
but you. can easily see what we would
estimate as the population Of Kenosha.
There is no city along the lake shore
that has had as steady and as certain
a growth as Kenosha since we have
been making directories for it. The
growth has been just about the same
for each two year period -
The directory this year has brand
new dress. The old paper covers have
been discarded and it is bound in DUR
able buckram. The book is nearly
twice as large as the edition of four
years ago. In addition to the long lists
OF names OF the people IN the city it is
a complete directory of the various fra
ternal organizations, churches and Of
all departments of the city, county and
state government. 1t contains an in
valuable street directory and in order
to make this entirely up to date the
company has caused a new map of the
city to be made. This shows all of the
new streets and all Of the new territory
added to the city since the last direc-
tory was issued as well as the subur-
ban territory. The directory has the
usual complete index to the various
kinds of business houses in the city.
In the back of the book is found the
usual directory of people on rural routes
centering in Kenosha.
