PREDICTED TIMES OF DEATH
University Of Pennsylvania Provost
Forecast Month and Year OF HIS
Demise Two Years In Advance.

I heard regular army officer who
saw much Of General Funston In the
Philippines say half q dozen years
ago that the general was a fatalist
TO this extent-he expected to die
the death Of a civilian and never be
killed In action, says a newspaper
writer.
The most peculiar prediction about
ones own death that have heard
concerned DR.. William Pepper, pro-
yost of the University Of Pennsyl-
yania. Frederick Fraley, who lived
to be nearly a century old and who
as a young man transacted business
with Stephen Girard and Nicholas Bid
die, and entertained Daniel Webster
related the incident.
A couple of years before Peppers
death Mr.. Fraley asked the famous
doctor to perform some service In
connection with the American Philo-
sophlcal society.
"Can't do It." replied Doctor Pepper,
because 1 expect to die before then"
He then specified the month and
year in which he expected his life to
end.
But" added the doctor after a
pause, you will live until Septem'
Der, 1901"
Both men died in the month and
year predicted by Doctor Pepper.

ENGLAND NOW CHEWING GUM
EoreIoners for Years Refused to Adopt
American Product, but Situation
Suddenly Has Changed.

For q great many years American
chewing gum manufacturers have en-
deayored to teach foreign countries TO
appreciate their product. The stun
that wags the American Jaw has been
advertised assiduously in France, Eng
land and Germany, but with small
success. The non-American couldn't
understand 1t. He tried to swallow 1t,
and when he couldn't he gave 1t up
as incomprehensible nonsense. Over
In London, where II was called "Ameri'
can Chewing Candy" many shops
called attention to 1t, but the British
ers passed It by and went on buy
Ing toffee and lollipops and Turkish
delight
Suddenly, and without warning, the
situation has changed. Remarkable
figures recently published appear to IN
dicate that England has inconinently
become a nation of gum chewers.
Manufacturers report that within six
months they have increased their
monthly sales from 100000 to 2O'Ooo'-
600 sticks. And the English newspa-
pers cannot understand 1t.
The explanation seems simple. 1t IS
said that the largest amount of chew
ing gum is used in the army, and the
next largest amount in the navy. Dur
Ing the last great advance, 1t was Is
sued as an army ration. Somehow or
other the soldiers discovered that 1t
steadied their nerves to have some
thing to chew on in time of stress
and Of course it has the effect OF
keeping the parched throat moist. 1t
is more than probable that the Cana
dian soldier impaired this information

ence did the rest.-Cleyeland ram

Forty years ago he visited his son IN
Scotland. He is reported to be hale and
hearty now. The aged mans life has
been an interesting study. He has cut
his third set of teeth. and at the age OF 10
wears was afflicted with measles. For
many years he was almost an inveterate
user of tobacco. but when he became one
hundred years old he discontinued its use
and has not touched it since. AT the age
of 1O2 he was converted in little log

Commissioner OF Agriculture James H.
Stewart will ask the special session OF
the Legislature for an appropriation SUI
fciently large to bring into West Virginia
thousands of sheep which will be sold TO
farmers of the State and The State reim-
bursed for its expenditure. Commission
er Stewart says West Virginia offers ex-
ceptional advantages for raising sheep.
and that three hundred thousand sheep
now in the STATE should be increased to
at least million. Thousands OF acres OF
land could be utilized for the raising OF
sheep ard the landowners, he says, would
not only get profitable price for wool,
out il would also mean the increased pro-
duction of nutritious food. 81 know OF

better serve the State and her people, !"

should have the attention of the people in
time OF peace, but ii is doubly important

War Reduces Insanity.

War as a palliative of insanity is a
theory unfamiliar to most people, but
we have no reason to doubt the conclu-
sions OF Doctor Oswald Of Glasgow
Lunatic asylum on the matter, says the
London Globe. One phase Of the sub
ject is instructive and significant. This
is "the removal of the powerful effect
Of poverty on the mind, and Its replace
ment by the higher standard Of living
and remuneratlve employment" Pow
erty and unemployment are thus by
medical testimony fore fertile causes
Of insanity than war. This is lesson
70 be borne In mind when the war Is
over.

Curing BY Electric Shocks.

From time to time news has come Oh
q new electrical treatment in use In
the French army by which men, appar-
emily hopeless cripples, have been
cured by giving them very powerful
shocks Of electricity. The details or
this treatment came out In q recent
military trial. So painful are the
shocks used In the cure that many OF
the soldiers refused to submit to the
treatment, preferring to remain Grip
pied. At the trial of these men 1t de-
veloped that the new treatment is be-
ing used In cases Of psychic shock,
where the chief injury is to the nery-
Gus system or to the will power. Men
may be partially paralyzed from such
purely nervous shocks, and In such
cases the new treatment has restored
the use of the affected limbs. It's &C
ceptanCe has now been made compul'
sorry In some Of the military hospitals,
commission of physicians having
vouched for its harmlessness, In spite
Of It's unpleasant nature.

The Fields OF verdun.

After one OF the battles OF the CTimean
War round shot lay so thick upon the
ground that il was possible to step from
one cannon ball TO another all over the
field. On the western front IN Europe
the shells do not lie like stepping stones,
for most OF them burst into a thousand
fragments. but the quantity OF Iron mai
now cumbers the earth round Verdun or
in parts OF Picardy must be thousands OF
times greater than all that was used IN
the Crimean campaign. II is said that as
MANY as million shells day have been
fired for days at time by the Allies IN
France alone. That figure is, OF course,
far above the average, but even it only
a million shells week have been tired
bv both the French and the Germans on
the contested ground in front OF Verdun
tine results is a most astonishing quantity
OF metal. Reckoning the average weight
of a shell at 100 pounds, and the duration
of The battle OF Verdun at 80 weeks, the
weight Of metal discharged would be l.
500 600 tons, or more than 20 tons to the
acre 1hat mixes no account OF The
miles and miles CT barbed wire and con-
s,ructiona steel used on the same ground
Who will collect that immense quantity
of scrap when peace is restored? 1t will
be dangerous business, for the ground
contains thousands OF unexploded shells
and hand grenades. Those who have
visited the battlefield doubt if the fields
about Verdun will ever again be cultivated
They believe that France will make a
park OF the region as memorial TO The
heroism OF her sons who died in defend
