Some Parsnips.

John Hedrick, who resides on John
Petit's farm in Shell River town,
brought parsnip here last Friday
that measured five feet and ten
inches in length. In width it was
but an ordinary sized parsnip, about
one and a half inches at the top and
tapered to the size of fish line.
But parsnip nearly six, feet long is
some thing you don't see every day.

Proclamation Of Life.

Everyone recognizes that there Is
great division of labor among the cells
in the body of a higher animal. Many
of them are very highly specialized,
and 1t has often been suggested that
it is this differentiation that makes
death inevitable. The body is CORE
lated. and its interdependence is such
that a breakdown on the part OF few
highly specialized nerve cells, for In
stance, may be fatal to the life of the
whole. Recent experiments on the life
OF cells and tissues removed from the
body and kept in foreign or artificial
environment. suggest that the tenacity
OF life on the part Of the highly spe-
cialized cells is greater than has been
thought. Ganglion cells In a higher
animal do not increase in number
after birth, and those OF an adult can
not as yet be cultivated in artificial
media; but it is premature to say that
their complexity and sensitiveness
necessarily involve death. Leo Loeb
has indeed recently suggested that the
prolongation of life may, to a great
extent, depend on forestalling the at
tacks of those injurious influences
which are at present allowed to dis
turb the function of the nerve cells

TARPON SPORT NEXT TO COME

William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., is ex-
pected in the city in about two
weeks for the purpose of boarding his
yacht, Tarantula, for an extended
cruise among the Bahama Islands.
The handsome Vanderbilt yacht is
still tied up at the Terminal dock
where she has recently received a
fresh coat of paint and other needed
repairs, and will be ready for the
cruise when Mr. Vanderbilt arrives.
Mr.. Vanderbilt spent a part of the
season cruising in southern waters
and succeeded in catching a number
of good fish but was called away to
New York at the heighth of the
season. leaving the yacht here in
charge Of her captain.
1t was evident at the time that the
millionaire did not have his ambi-
ton for fishing satisfied and his re-
turn here at this season of the year
is not a surprise. He will, in all
probability, be accompanied by a
party Of friends, who expect good
catch of tarpon.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's arrival will add
interest to tarpon fishing in this sec
tion Of the country. as the season for
this fine specimen is just beginning

A acknowledgement young woman
stood smiling before him. He rose to
his feet sheepishly. He looked into
Elise's face. The recognition was mu-
tual.
He saw the look of horror upon her
features. She swayed, as if she were
about to faint. But he caught her in
his arms.

Before the two years were ended
she was his foil and confederate. And
so well had he done his work that

The Judge had pitied her when he
sentenced Lawson to seven years.
She had been advised to secure a d.

she had paid him visits in the peni-
Tertiary for six or seven months.
Then her visits stopped She disap-
peared, and Lawson had been unable
to trace her.
Crook as he was, the man was hui
man enough to enjoy the pastors dis
courses. Lawson was an educated
man. Together they had frankly dis
cussed the advantages and disadvan-
tages of crime. John Mannering was
shrewd enough to see that he could
not win q man Of intellect by plati-

tended gradually to be convinced, Sc

II only he had Elise. She had left
him six years and more. None Of his

was one of them.
And he told Mannering, hurting out

what he had not seen: The released

ministrations of some woman to re-
