The petition of Frank T. TiIIingha-t Of CIark's Falls to have his wife, Jane, adjudged insane, was dismissed at a session of the North Stonington pro- bate court Saturday afternoon. This was after Drs. A. E. Briggs and J. M. Lewis. who were appointed for the purpose, made report that they had made careful examination of the phy- sicaI and mental condition of Mrs. Til inghast and were satisfied that she was not insane. Prior to the bringing of this petition, Mrs. TilIngnast had instituted divorce proceedings, and property of MT. Tilliughast in Clar1's Falls had been attached in connection with the suit.
 Judge Herbert W. Rathbun, coun- sel for Mrs. Ttllinghast, made demand upon MT. TiIinghast that he support his wife and two children, who are at present in PaWcatuck, and he abso- lutely refused. He claimed he had home for his wife and children and if the Wifa would not live there ns would not contribute to her support. He wanted possession, he said, of his chiI- dren, and would take steps to secure them.

Health pepartment,s Novel Work.

Health Commissioner Rutland Of
Milwaukee is opening series of free
''diagnostic stations" The purpose Of
these stations is to give medical ad-
vice. No attempt will be made at
treatment; but when necessary the
case will be referred tc a dispensary
or to the family physician.
What ! hope to do writes Doctor
Rutland, "is to train the public to the
value of systematic, periodic, physical
examinations as preventive meas
ure. believe that it will be great
deal cheaper for the municipality to
engage men for this diagnostic work
than to maintain and enlarge expen-
sive hospitals where the unfortunate
are taken care of when it is too late,
and where their further existence rep
resents merely economic loss"

to Challenge Fate.

| While serving as staff motor

the city Of Ypres, at the beginning Of
the bombardment preceding the sec

Robinson in the Atlantic Monthly. We
were at the farther side of the city

be called car. 1t had once been an
| ambulance, but the body had been de-
! stroyed and replaced by a couple Of
| rough bucket seats built from bacon
boxes.
! Such as it was, it was a lucky find,
, and l seized on it at once. After some
| difficulty got the engine running halt
ingly, and brought the car round to
where my officer was waiting We
started off Immediately. By this time
the shells were bursting in and around
the Grande place at the rate OF forty
minute, and our chance of getting
through at all was long one. worked
up speed as fast as l could, so that by I
the time we got to the square we were
doing between thirty and forty miles
an hour.
In the square itself conditions were
indescribable. The buildings were
crumbling on all sides; the air was
filled with smoke and flame and dust,
to say nothing Of flying fragments Of
shell and bricks, and it was impossible
to see more than few yards ahead. It
seemed incredible that we could get
through. I slackened speed.
My officer must have felt much as I
did. but he raped out, Drive like
HE'LL" and huddled down into his
bacon-box seat, his head held low. I
threw open the throttle; the car
choked bit, then responded with
leap, the steel-studded tires striking
streams of sparks from the cobbles.
My hands were more than full with the
steering. AS one leaves the square

when we reached this. At the speed
we were going, it was impossible to
twist the car round that corner, yet
it would be suicide to slow down. l
had read Of the trick of racing drivers,
who skidded round "hairpin turns"
and I decided to try this as our only
chance.
The turn doomed up before US in the
smoke, and opened the throttle still
wider. Just as we reached the corner
! twisted the wheel slightly and
jammed on the foot-brake with all my +.
might. The skidding studs squealed
as the rear end of the car shot over;
l felt her tip little as the two outside
wheels came off the ground. She
righted at once, though, and in mo-
ment we were safely through. If I
had had time to examine those bacon
box seats don't think should have :
dared to carry out my little maneuver.
1t Is still a mystery to me how they
held under the fearful strain of round
ing that corner.

"Manna."

The report that British airmen
dropped $4,000 pounds of food on Kut-
el-Amara before the garrison surren-
dered, inevitably suggests the Biblical
reference to mama from heaven. The
notion of the Arabs that mama was a
dew deposited on the leaves of shrubs
is a reminder that the phenomenon Of
honey dew on the leaves of the elm is
to be found in the United States. 1t
may be observed on hot and dry days
in August. The upper surfaces of the
leaves become vanished with solu-
BILE sweet gum which hardens in the
sun. The Persians gather a kind of
mama from leguminous plant by
shaking its branches or picking the
leaves and beating them gently over
a cloth when dry. Throughout Persia
and Afghanistan mama is harvested
from different trees and shrubs. 1t is
eaten as sweetmeat and is exported
to India. But the mama of COM
merce, obtained from a small tree
known as the mama ash, comes chief.
