Goinq Without Food.

Science says that if he can get drink ing water an ordinars man can exist for about thirty days without food. At the end of that time the machinery of the body will not be ruined and can be entirely strengthened back to its old standard by careful feeding. About one-quarter of our body weight is fat, and it is mostly this fat which Is ab- sorbed as food during the period of starvation. We can absorb and burn up our muscles until 60 per cent of their weight has gone. We can do the same with from 30 to 40. per cent of our liver and digestive organs and 20 per cent of our lungs. Our hearts can lose 10 Der cent, and our brains and nervous system can lose per cent. It will thus be seen that the more vital organs, brain and heart, yield least of their valuable substance for the life of the body, while the less valuable sub- stances-fat, muscles, and so on-are consumed f1rst.-New York American.

Fable of Two Maidens.

Once there were two maidens who sought to catch nice young man, and it was a false start ill the eyes of the undiscerning, for the one was exceed ingly fair to look upon and dressed stylishly, while the other was plain of countenance.
 The pretty girl smiled sweetly on the nice young man and talked to him till she dazzled him with her beauty and charmed him with her wit. The plain one gazed wonderingly at him and made him talk to her of divers things, while she listened, entranced at his wisdom and learning.
 He took the pretty girl out riding, to the theater and bought her chocolates and flowers, and all the knowing ones said she had struck a winner, when one day he married the plain girl and took her on the continent for their honeymoon.
 The pretty girl had made him very much pleased with her, but the plain girl had gone one better and made him very much more pleased with himself.

Novel Methods of Warfare.

In ancient history there are two well authenticated instances of wild ami mals being used by attacking armies. The first is related by Appian when describing the siege of Themiseyra, i'll Pontus, by Lucullus in his war against Mithridates. Turrets were brought up mounds were built and huge mines were made by the Romans. The peo. pie of Themiseyra dug open these mines from above and through the holes cast down upon the workmen bears and other wild animals, togeth- CT with swarms of bees. The second instance occurred in England when the Danes and Norwegians were at. tacking Chester, held by the Saxons and some Gallic auXiliaries. After adopting stoning and boiling water de. lenses in vain against the besiegers the SaXons threw down all the bee hives in the town upon the attackers who were soon routed.

One Popular Irish Secretary.

Thomas Drumond. the best of Irish secretaries and the onl~ English official to whom the Irish people have erected memorial. counted among his most daring and successful achieve ments the establishment of the Royal Irish constabulary. All before Drum mond had sought to keep the peace by the use of soldiers, but he planned to replace the troops by police force drawn from the ranks of the Irish peasantry. OfficialdOm was aghast and talked of the possibility of treason. but Drummond had his way. and the Brit ish government has never had more faithful body of servahts than the Irish nstabulary.-London Chronicle.

A shakespearean Problem.

A problem for Shakespearean anti quaries is propounded by a correspond ent of London paper. Some years ago." he writes, "I was looking at the Shakespeare folios at Stratford on Avon, when an American visitor asked the curator the meaning of half a dozen words printed on the fly leaf of one of the volumes. For once that well in formed individual hesitated, seemed confused and then confessed that he did not know. 1 glanced at the words and at once recognized in them a fa- miliar Welsh aphorism: Heb Duw, dim; Duw a digon-'Without God, nothing; God and enough Now, how did that old Welsh aphorism come to adorn the hyleaf of the volume?'

Powers of Sheik nj Islam.

The office of sheik Ill Islam-literal- ly chief or ancient of Islam-ranks sec ond only to that of sultan in the Otto man empire. It's holder is ecclesiasti- cal head of the empire and supreme in terpreter of the Koran, with absolute control over all imams, dervishes and religious institutions, but he has jul dicial and political authority also, be ing, indeed, first magistrate, privy seal and minister for education. In some respects the sheik ul Islam is superior even to the sultan, for his edicts are irrevocable. The sultan may dismiss him before he issues an edict, but the edict once issued takes automatic legal effect, even though, as happened in the case of Abdul Hamid, it decrees the deposition of the sultan himself.

BYron's London Home.

No. 139 Piccadilly was, in the year of Waterloo, the home to which, from his bachelor chambers in the Albany, Lord Byron went with his bride, Miss Mill banke.

SPARRING MATCHES
SEEN At OPENING
OF ATHLETIC CLUB
PRINCIPAL BOUT STAGED WAS
BETWEEN DEMPsY AND
AND O'sHAUGHNEssY AND
FURNISHED GOOD SPORT.

Something like two hundred and
fifty members were present last night
at the opening of the Business Mems
Athletic Club, at Hay South Palafox
street, and enjoyed the sparring
matches arranged for the occasion.
The main bout was between Jimmy
Dempsy and Pete O'Shaughnessy,
both of whom are training under
Manager Jack OLeary, and both of
whom are open for challenges from
any fighters in their classes. This
bout, as were all of them, was a
three-round, no decision, one, the
rounds being two minutes each, with
an intermission of one minute. Both
OF these fighters are unusually clever
and their work was pleasing.
The entertainment opened with a
battle royal, between three negroes,
and this exhibition afforded a con-
siderable amount of amusement.
The best real fight of the evening,
SO far as mixing it in earnest was
concerned, was the first preliminary
between Shuttleworth and Sublette,
two local boys. This appeared, from
the beginning, to be Crude fight and
neither of them lost a second in going
after the other. Neither of them made
any attempt whatever to cover up,
in fact, neither of them seemed to
know there was any such thing as
being on the defensive. This "scrap"
produced a number of good laughs
and was immensely enjoyed.
The next preliminary was between
Dahlberg and Lawrence, both of the
u. S. s. North Carolina. They are
both clever and an excellent exhibit
ton of science was this bout. Law
renee showed himself TO be exception
ally fast
The last preliminary was between
Bray and Baker, both of whom are in
the service. It was announced that
Frank Johnson, former lightweight
champion of the United States navy,
would challenge the winner Of this
bout for a fight next Monday night,
but as no decision was rendered, it is
not known which one of them he will
take on,
The first two bouts were refereed
by Jack 0Teary, while Mr.. Griffin,
of Sheesley's Athletic Show, acted in
this capacity for the last two. Carl
Williams was time keeper.
Next Monday night there will be
several preliminaries and a ten-round
bout. The ten-round bout will be
between either Dempsy or O'Shaugh-
messy and fighter from New Or
leans.

SPURIOUS 5O-CENT
PIECES REPORTED
BE IN CIRCULATION
WORTHLESS MONEY WAS SAID
TO HAVE BEEN OFFERED AT
SEVERAL POINTS IN THE CITY
IN PAST FEW DAYS.

Spurious f1fty-cent pieces were re-
ported TO have been offered at sew
eraI points in the lower part of the
city yesterday. One was offered at a
supply shop on South Palafox street,
one to a Greek, and another was
found In the change Of another man
who said he was going to turn 1t over
to the federal authorities.
The counterfeit money is a poor
imitation of the real coin, so far as
fineness and general appearance ID
concerned. The appearance of the
money at once makes anyone who has
ever handled a great deal of cash sus-
picious as to It's genuineness. One
piece which was said to have been
offered yesterday was so "soft" that
the finger nail could easily make a
mark on the face of the figure.
It is believed that, with the pub
licity given the several cases report
ed, whoever Is trying to circulate the
spurious, worthless coinSwill have a
hard time at least to get rid of half
dollar pieces which have any sus-
picious look, or ring"

THE JUVENILE MODE.
What Children Will Wear All This
Autumn.

What Children Will Wear All This
Autumn.
Clothes for children ape those of
their elders very closely this season.
Especially is this so In materials,
Wool velour for coats, with plenty Of
fur trimming; velvet and satin for
frocks, are the rule rather than the ex-
ception. Dark colors lead, navy blue,
dark brown and hunters green being
favored. Trimmings Of Roman stripes,
bright plaids and checks or plain silks,
as red, empire green, Hague blue and
gold, are used to liven up the somber,
ness Of the darker materials.
Gaberdines, serges, broadcloths,
plain and novelty taffetas and velvets
are employed for afternoon frocks.
Fur, braid and ruchings trim these.
Party frocks Of chiffon, net, crepe de
chine or pastel colored taffeta reach
the acme Of youthful daintiness.
Ripple effects are noticeable in coats.
Cape, sailor, military and draped col
lars are largely used. More than
often they are entirely Of fur. Belts
and sashes are featured to a great de-
gree.
Little girls will wear small, snug
fitting toques of fur over their curls
this winter Handmade trimmings,
such as velvet fruit and flowers, trim
the poke bonnet Of silk or velvet.

Outlets In Mint Aspio.

Lamb outlets in mint aspic make a
novel dish. Either braise or roast the
best end of neck Of lamb, and when
cold trim into daintily shaped outlets,
not too thick. Have ready a pint of
stiff aspic jelly, Favored, little sugar
and some French vinegar, besides the
ordinary aavoring, and when it is
strained, but still liquid, mix into 1t
four tablespoonfuls Of finely chopped
mint. Pour thin layer Of this jelly,
not more than the tenth Of an inch
deep, into a fiat, shallow tin, and when
1t is thoroughly set place the outlets
thereon and pour more of the liquid
mint jelly on them, so as to just cover
them. When it is set and stiff pass a
sharp knife around the edge of each
outlet so as to cut it out from the
surrounding jelly.
Pass a cloth wrung out in warm wa
ter lightly under the bottom of the
tin and the outlets will be easily de-
tached, each neatly masked with jelly
on both sides. Dish them in wreath
Of peas and mayonnaise.

You can make the smartest kind of a
little tam from a very wide grosgrain
ribbon. A band of buckram to act as
a foundation is first covered with the
ribbon, and then the ribbon is folded
in half and plated In wide box plaits
TO a central point at the top Of the
crown. The plating is covered with
a motif of wool flowers embroidered on
scrim. A chic bow of the ribbon is
tied and secured at one side.
You cannot imagine anything pret-
tier than this tam, and, what is better
still, 1t lies within the power Of any
clever girl to make one herself. II the
ribbon is not stiff enough to stand up
right after it has been attached to the
buckram band, 1t might be well TO line
II with layer Of fat buckram, though
the soft effect Of the ribbon by itself
Is preferable.

Let There Be No Lack of sleen.

Lack of sleep ages woman possibly
more than anything else. Most wom-
en- who are inclined to be nervous re-
qulre from eight 10 nine hours. Six
and seven hours Of rest suffice for 9th
ers. The hours before midnight con-
tain the magic wherein beauty is dis
pensed freely. One hour before 12
will do more good than two afterward.
Sleep without pillows If possible or
very small one Of couch size. The feet
should be higher than the head. This
makes the flow Of blood over the heart
even. Sleep on your right side, with
the limbs outstretched and the arms
down at the side rather than owes the
head, which, tits said, encourages bad
dreams.
