A TRAGIC Weddinu R;nq.

A tragic story of Il forgotten we'd
ding ring is told in the Lives of the
Lindsays." He should have been at
church when Colin Lindsay, the young
Earl of Baicarras, was quietly eat
ing his breakfast in nightgown and
slippers. Reminded that Mauritia OF
Nassau was waiting for him at the al
tar, he hurried to church, but forgot
the ring. A friend present gave him
one, which he, without looking at,
placed ON the brides finger. After the
ceremony was over the countess glanc-
ed at her hand and beheld a grin
ming deaths head on her ring. She
tainted away, and the omen made such
an impression on her that on recover
ing she declared she was destined to
die within a year, a presentment that
probably brought about its own full
fillment, for in a few months the care
less Colin was a widower.

GERMS ON SALADS.
A Simple Method by Which All DAN
ger May Be Avoided.


Drs. Loir and Legagneux of Paris
tested vinegar as destroyer of the
germs Of typhoid fever. That they are
killed by a mixture of wine and water
in equal parts has long been known.
These Investigators prove now that
twenty grams of vinegar to liter of
water kill the typhoid bacillus in an
hour and five minutes.
From this" writes the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Lancet, "a
practical inference may be drawn con-
corning salads. After washing the sal
ad as usual, detaching each leaf, 1t
should be put into water acidulateG
with ten grams of vinegar to the liter
and remain immersed in this liquid for
about an hour and quarter. All veg
etables ordinarily eaten uncooked may
be subjected without any inconven-
fence to the same process"
A liter is equivalent to about quart
and ten grams are equivalent to about
a third of an ounce. SO if lettuce or
other greens for salad be placed in
water to which about one third of an
ounce of vinegar has been added and
be left for about an hour and a quar-
ter all danger of typhoid fever will be
removed.

The Centipede.

The centipede was formerly a resi-
dent of the southern part of this coun-
try, but it has gradually worked its
way to the north, so that now it is
quite common in nearly every portion
of the country. 1t thrives best in
damp and warm places and has its re-
deeming feature in that it catches and
destroys many of the domestic pests
we are well rid of. Its method of
catching an insect seems to be to spring
over it. inclosing and caging it with
its many legs. The belief occasionally
met with that the centipede feeds on
household goods and woolens or otheI
clothing is without foundation. On
the other hand. the bite of this crea-
ture is undoubtedly more or less poi
sonous, the effect depending on the
susceptibility of the patient.-St. Louis

wonderful because of his knowledge

to teaching. He could do that better

the rules of elocution an actor ever

Now, proper enunciation of words

RAILROADS IN ARGENTINA.
Run Under Rules Framed by Strict
Government Commission.

Government Commission.
! Argentina has q commission which
is in some respects even more power
full than the interstate commerce COM
mission. The direction general de
ferrocarriles, as it is named, prescribes
the number Of trains to be run and in
sists on the number of coaches. Ev-
cry night train must carry a certain
number of sleeping cars, and dining
cars, or restaurant cars, as they are
known in Argentina, are obligatory on
runs of certain distance. Every train
is obliged to carry a letter box, and re-
Gently the railroads have been squeez-
ed into carrying the mails for nothing.
A medicine chest, stretcher and a
bicycle-this last to establish quick
communication with the nearest sta
ton in case of an accident-are COM
pulsory on every passenger train.
Every passenger coach is disinfected
each month, and the precautions for
preserving the cleanliness of sleeping
cars are probably the most thorough
in the world.
No time table can be altered with
out the sanction of the director gen.
eral and at least two months in adj
vance of their taking effect. If trains
stop at stations not scheduled heavy
fine is imposed, and all late trains
must be reported to the government,

FREAK BASEBALL PLAYS.
q Tin Can Throw and the Shortest
Two Dagger on Record.


Freak plays make baseball humor-
ous if not interesting. Some of these
plays are said to be the result of quick
thinking, but as a matter Of fact
most of them are simply luck. says
Arthur Macdonald in the Physical Ed
ucation Review. Curious things hap
pen. A ball fell into tin can, and, it
being impossible to get it out in time,
can and all were thrown to the base
man.
Another ball hit the end of a nail
driven through the opposite side of
fence and could not be got down until
all the runners scored.
A swift hit glances off the pitchers
hand, is snapped up by an infielder
and thrown to first, putting the man
out
Redhot liners or grounders some
times hit the first or third base bag
and glance away for singles or even
two baggers.
The shortest two Dagger known was
when the bail graz the bat, shot up
a few feet and fell in front of the
plate. As. the catcher reached for the
whirling ball it glanced from his glove
and bounded back to the stand, and
the batter made second easily
A center fielder saw a mitt in, the
way of the shortstop and walked
about sixty feet in to move it out of
the way, when he heard the crack of
the bat and saw a hot ball coming
straight at him.
He could do nothing but try to catch
it and did, to his surprise. But he was
given credit by the crowd for being a
great student of batters.

THE VOICE AND THE STAGE.
Being a Good EIoeutionist Does Not
Make a Good Actor.

OF all the things to eschew, elocu-
ton schools stand first. Actors should
know nothing of the rules of elocution
as taught in any school of. which l have
ever heard. l can always tell at the
first glance whether an actor is a stu
dent of elocution. No good elocutionist
was ever a good actor. That is, no good
reciter-and elocution schools produce
only reciters-is ever a good actor.
Reciting and acting are two entirely
different arts. The reciter is never
natural. never can be. Awhile ago one
of the most distinguished professors of
elocution in America-he had the chair

sisters and their summer residence, known as the Smaller house, is locat- ed near the Haddam jail on the Main street of the village. The local women have much valuable antique furnl- ture in the house which has been in their family for several generations.
 It is said that Mrs. Newell acted in the manner of high class burglar, going about her work with the use of her own automobile. She has dealt extensively in antiques for several years but the first clue as to her being the culprit was obtained, it is said, when she placed some of the stolen goods on the market.
 It is supposed that entrance to the Smaller house was effected through window, the articles taken out into Mrs Newell's automobile, and whirI- ed away. Mrs Newell is about forty five years of age and is the mother of several children. At present the family resides in Cromwell.
 Among the many articles that were stolen from the Smaller house is a grandfather's clock, brass candle sticks, old chairs, blankets andirons, etc.
