He is no novice at practicing medicine but has had years of experience, and is a graduate of one of the best schools in the country. His mission is to "heal the sick" and of course no sensible person expects him to "raise the dead" any more than they do of other doctors. Let us appreciate our own talent and skill just as other races. Dr. Edwards is our own, he belongs to us and let us be proud of the fact and appraise it.

While putting on her wraps one fair damsel said, "Oh! I have had such a delightful time." She expressed opinion of the rabble. We do not want the Messers.

But these sketches possess as well a business interest equally for clerk and capitlist, for manufacturer, former and merchant. The man who would understand the drift of our news in finance and business must read these lives, so full of incident, of chance, of hard and marvelous success.

Magnetic Sand Bar in Norway. The fiction of the mysterious lodestone mountain which drew the nails out of ships that approached near enough to have a French foundation in Paris. French paper, only the fact has suffered expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Jeoparden, there is a sand dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with particles of lodestone, and when a ship comes in the vicinity the compass becomes irregular and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirlpool and throws ashore. AMERICA'S LARGEST FAMILY. Washington Times: Prairie du Chein, Wis., boasts of a family which is believed to be the largest in the United States. It consists of 188 members, and until a few weeks ago, when Mrs. Peter Fernett died, there had been no skiness or death in the family for nearly half a century. Peter Fernett, Sr., the head of the family, is nearly 90 years of age, and is in splendid health. With him to mourn the loss of a faithful wife and mother are eight children, 126 grandchildren, sixixty-one great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. The family now consists of the following members: Peter Fernett, husband; Mrs. Anthony Lo Bonne, Mrs Louise La Bonne, Mrs Frank Porter, Mrs Frank Cota, Mrs Hubert Obin, Paul Fernett and Peter Fernett, Jr. There Were four children born, but three of these died when they were quite young and the other when he was under 20 years of age. These eight children are the parents of 120 children. Eighteen of these grandchildren of old Mr. and Mrs. Fernett have among them sixty-one children, and one of the latter is the mother of a 10-year-old child, making it a great-great-grandchild of Peter Fernett, Sr. The remarkable record of the Fernett children is as follows: Mrs. A. La Bonne, eighteen children Mrs. L. La Bonne, thirteen children. Mrs. F. Porrier, seventeen children. Mrs. F. Cota, sixteen children. Mrs. T. Cota, seventeen children. Mrs. H. Obin, eighteen children. Paul Fernett, thirteen children. Peter Fernett, Jr., fourteen children. All the members of this remarkable family, from the old great-great-grandfather down to the youngest baby, are hale and hearty. When the aged woman died a short time ago she had been ill for less than a day. We received a copy of the Official Register of Iowa for 1902, issued by the Secretary of State with his compliments. It contains more useful and valuable information than any previous Register. We congratulate Secretary Martin for his excellent Register and extend thanks to him for remembering the BYSTANDER. A GOOD WORD. Sigourney, Iowa, April 23, —Messers J. L. Thompson & J. H. Sheepard:—Dear Sirs you will find One Dollar and fifty cents for your good paper. I dont believe I can do without it in my shop Yours for the right. THOMAS H. M. BENTON. We have just received a copy of the premium list of the Iowa State Fair for this fall, from the Secretary Mr. J. C. Simpson. He says: First, The Department of Agriculture paid out last year over $19,000.00 in premiums, to over 500 exhibitors. Second, The live stock exhibit at the Iowa State Fair is second to none. At the fair of 1901 over 650 cattle were on exhibition, this being about 50 less than the number shown at the International stock show, at Chicago, last December, for which show the railroads in every part of the U. S. make a rate of one fare for the rooun trip to attend. We had 18 heards of Short Horn Cattle, four more than was at the show at Chicago. Third. Last year we had eleven large cattle barns, two horse barns and a large tent, filled with cattle, and everything now indicates that we will have a larger exhibit of cattle this year than we had last. To take care of this great cattle show, we are building four new barns, and the legislature has just passed a bill appropriating $37,000.00 to build a stock pavilion, of steel and brick, being fire proof, similar to the one erected in Illinois on their State Fair grounds last year. This stock pavilion will be a beautiful structure, 225x175 feet, making a show ring on the i5ide 170x120 feet, with a seating capacity of about 4,000 people In this building the judging of our great cattle and horse show will take place. There will also be a sale of 100 Hereford cattle, conducted by the Hereford Cattle Association in this pavilion one or two half days of the fair. Mr. C. G.

Simple Incident That Broke Up Meeting of Moral Citizens "These are of chance," said the distinguished gentleman who was addressing the representative citizens of the strictly moral town, "cannot be tolerated in our midst." (Cries of "Good! good!") "Shall we, because a social club finds it necessary to raise money, turn our backs and permit the operation of slot machines and other gambling devices?" (Loud shouts of "No! No!") "Shall we permit our sons to be bured into the wicked belief that they can be risking a little win much?" (Cries of "Never") "It's an outrage!" "Down with the gamble. At that instant one of the mortal gentlemen happened to glance at the ticker, which had been temporarily set up under the stairway. With a blanched face he dashed in among his fellow-citizens and yelled: "Wheat's broke three-quarter and the bears have everybody on the run!" Four seconds later the meeting was over and the representative citizens of the highly moral town, who were sprinting toward the telegraph office, had forgotten that there ever was or ever might be such a thing as a social club or a slot machine or that gambling ought to be allowed. apnea! rr : ee en ne ae “Siam oat ‘ Se Rau er nA coy s/n Uses eat aly hf oc i : et r ais is hd : Ca a el Repay Gg 15d ea ii 3 ity miei f 5 i a sc Naa i ba 3 S RAM ha biG a as a ia ei li aie Bystander. en i DD ge papraeoen ree. co. wma 1A eelerRY FACES DANGERS.

Manila, April 29—The trial by court martial of General Jacob H. ‘Smith on the charge of conduct preju- lelal to good order and military dis- clpline was resumed here yesterday. Major Littleton W. .

His Speech at Pittsburg Stire Up the caution @lete, London, April 29.—The speech of the Cnited States Secretary of the Treas. ury, Mr. Shaw, at Pittsburg, at the banquet, April 26th., in celebration of the late General Grant's birthday, has thus far passed unnoticed by the Lon- don press. with the exception of the Glove, which is exceedingly wrathy at sich a responsible poiiticlan “tickling the cars of groundiings with a speeech full of menace to America’s only friend ‘among the powers of Europe.” ‘After quoting the speech, the Globe continues: “We are not greatly con- cerned either for the threat or the crude vulgarity which causes Mr, Shaw to apply It to a particular power; but, what impresses us with a sense of American decadence, is the manner in which the absurd speech was received. ‘Were an English minister of Mr. Shaw's position to make a similar allusion to & forelgn power all the chancellories ‘of Europe would be convulsed. But England heeds it nota whit. and the rest of the world shrugs its shoulders nd tals about diplomacy in. sire sleeves.” KILLED IN A MOSCOW RIOT. Fifty People Dead and Troops Have Fea Gabied ue.

Jadge Clarke of 6t Louis bas com ected and fined heavily a number of grocers for salling baking powders containing alum. ‘The week before the Health Depart ment of New York seized a quantity of stuff being sold for baking powder which they found was made from alum mixed with ground rock, ‘and ‘dumped it into the river. ‘The Health Authorities are thus taking effective means to prevent the {ntroduction into our markets of in- furious substitutes tn place of whole- tome baking powders, ‘As alum costs only two centa a ‘pound, there is a great temptation for those ‘manufacturers who make aub- stitotes and Imitation goods, to use it Alum baking powders can be dev tected by the health authorities by chemical analysis, but the ordinary Dousekeeper, whose assistance in pro- tecting the health of the people {x im: portant, cannot make a chemieal ex- ‘amination, She may easily know the alum powders, however, from the fact that they are sold at’ from ten to twenty cents for & pound can, or that some prize—like @ spoon or glass, or plece of crockery, or wooden Ware—is given with the powder as an snducement. "As the people continue to realize the Amportance of this subject and con- sumers insist on having baking pow- der of established name and charac- ter, and as the health authorities con- tinue their vigorous crusades, the alum danger will, it {s hoped, finally be driven from our homes.

Kari was uot surprised when he heard what a sudden alteration Paul was making in his plans, for Karl was of a pblegmatic temperament and dis- posed to take the most extraordinary things as he found them. “One favor, comrade,” he said while shaking bands at the train later in the night. “Granted before you speak,” replied Paul. “Speak a good word for me when you apply for a commission. God knows 1 would like to be at your side if the war comes, and it grows closer and hoarser along the Rhine every day.” “It shall be zwel,” was what Paul called back as the express quitted the platform, When young Rhinelander shook the sacred dust of Heidelberg, with all its pleasant student recollections, from his feet, and started in the direction of the capital, he took it for granted that he would be closely watehed, since at the time he was an object of solicitude to several parties. He Ittle guessed, however, to what ends some of these sples might go in order to prevent him from carrying out his designs. ‘To the countess It was a matter of considerable moment whether or not he reached Berlin with the design of seeking an audience with those high in authority. ‘And she would go to considerable trouble in order to prevent this same thing, beng a woman of remarkable will power. ‘Through the night the Berlin train panted, and Paul, having made himself ‘as comfortable as the conditions would allow, endeavored to sleep. But he found sleep would not come. 20 he reviewed what had passed during his Interview with Hildegirde. How plainly it all came before him— he could easily shut his eyes and see her again ag she stood there blushing in confusion. He loved to dwell upon this scene, Somehow, there were features con- nected with It that told him he could not be an object of indifference in ner eyes. ‘Then, again, when he remembered the blot that ‘rested upon his family name he groaned in secret. Could she, would she forgive—these high-class Gorman familles. as he welt knew, were very punctilious about such things, and in many cases the breath of scandal had severed arrange- ments for a wedding. So Paul was miserable, at times tet- ting his mind dwell upon a picture painted by fancy in her lightest mood, and then dashing over the bright scene ‘a pall of mingled doubt and despair. All this while the train was booming on, crossing broad plains, rattling over bridges, and stopping occasionally at towns en route, Paull, finding it utterly tmpossible for him to sleep, began to amuse him- self by observing his fellow-passen- gers. ‘This is always an Interesting study for any one fairly fond of reading hu- man nature, for nowhere may more pronounced types be found than in a second-class Continental railway car- lage. ‘There were several persons in. the compartment with him.

All of which was pure speculation, Later on Paul discovered, somewhat to lis surprise, and not at all to hir king, that he was an object of con- siderable curiosity to the trio. Finally this aroused Paul's curlosity. and he began to suspect that his fel low-travelers might be other than the Snnocents they appeared upon the sur Perhaps one of them was a govern- ment agent, bound at all hazards to keep him under surveillance, since {t Was belleved in official elrcles that the American had entered into a conspir- ‘acy against the authorities, ‘Which one this might be gave him some amusement for a while, though peo emanate AMR Sat ase do so—in fact, he never fait more wide awake In all bie life, ‘Supposing this random guess of bis hit the mark, did'these men have any Antention ot doing him bodily injury?

Physicians have cured aggravated cases of Insom- nfa by long-drawn, regular breaths; fever-stricken patients have been quieted, stubborn forms of indigestion made to disappear. ‘A tendency to consumption may be overcome, as some authority has with- in the last few years clearly demon- strated, by exercise in ‘breathing.

He has besides forunlated a system by which asthmatic patients are made to walk without losing breath and cured. At Meran, In the Austrian Tyrol, his patients (almost every royal house of Europe Is representei!) are put through a certain system of breathing and walking. The mountain paths are all ‘marked off with stakes of different col- ors, indicating the number of minutes In which 2 patient must walk the given istance, the breathing and walking being in time together.

TWO MORE BIG BATTLESHIPS The Bill Also Calls for Two First Class Cruisers and Two Gunboats - The Cost of the Proposed Vessel Is Placed at $295,000,000. Washington, April 30.—The naval program for 1903, as presented in the naval appropriation bill and accompanying report, filed yesterday by Chairman Foss, of the house naval committee, is one of unusual interest. The report does not take as optimistic a view of our naval powers as is generally held, and Mr. Foss, that comparatively few of our ships have any real fighting value. He accompanies this with a statement of the enormous armament and programs of other countries, particularly Germany. It is shown by the report that the total number of vessels of our navy, built and building, is 138, and the report indicates that $23,858,209. The report states: "When we build new ships we are building, all told, 138 ships, yet comparatively few of them have any real fighting value. Our naval prowess lies almost entirely in our 18 battleships, eight armored cruisers and 21 aircraft carriers, but the ships would cut but little figure actual war. Ships of the battle line practically alone determine the naval strength of a nation." Referring to the foreign naval program, we see that all the countries, Germany has been building during the last few years faster than any of the others. Her ship building program started in 1898, and will be completed in 1908, possibly 1907. In addition, we first planned this program. It will build 15 ships, 14 large cruisers, 38 smaller cruisers and 96 torpedo boats. After the completion of this program, the plan contemplates new constructions to replace ships which, though still under construction, have recoiled the prescribed age, lime! Concerning new ships for our navy, the report says: "The committee recommended that for the purpose of further increasing the naval establishment, the president have constructed two first battleships, the carrying heaviest armor and most ornamental for vessels of their class, upon a trial displacement of about 16,000 tons, and to have the highest practicable speed and maneuverability. The exclusive of armor and armament, not exceeding $4,212,000 each; two first class cruisers of about 14,500 tons trial displacement, to cost, exclusive of armor and armament, not exceeding $1,000,000 each; two first class cruisers of about 1,000,000 tons trial displacement. "The complete cost of the two first class battleships, two first class armored cruisers and two gunboats, with a total tonnage of 63,000 tons, will impair ships and cruisers will be larger than any heretofore authorized by congress, and the plans recommended by the board of construction already have excised the favorable comment of the naval minister that the mittee is of opinion that in recommending the anove naval program, it is making a substantial and healthy increase of our navy, and one which will meet everywhere with popular tastes.

We refer to Vogeler's Curative Compound; it does so much good and seems to reach every form of stomach trouble, that people have found that the use of the compound is what are stomachs like. The easiest answer is that three quarters of all the diseases and ailments which affect us proceed from one form or another of stomach trouble. The ingestion is one of the worst and most prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative Compound cures indigestion. Here is one instance: Mr. W. Bowell, of 34, Priory Street, Winchester, Col., writes: "I wish to state that my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative Compound only that has done her any real good for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce her to be without a bottle now." When we stop to seriously consider the fact, that this great remedy is made from the compound, we wonder why London physicians, it is no wonder that people who have happily experienced the benefit to be derived from its use, will not now be without it at any cost.

The Bill Also Calls for Two First Class Cruisers and Two Gunboats. The Cost of the Proposed Vessels Is Placed at $290,000,000. Washington, April 30.—The naval program for 1903, as presented in the naval appropriation bill and accompanying report, filed yesterday by Chairman Foss, of the house naval committee, is one of unusual interest. The report does not take as optimistic a view of our naval powers as is generally held, and Mr. Foss, that comparatively few of our ships have any real fighting value. He accompanies this with a statement of the enormous naval armament and programs other countries, particularly Germany. It is shown by the report that the total number of vessels of our navy, built and building, is 138, and the total cost will be $23,828,209. The report also indicates that we are building, all told, 138 ships, and comparatively few of them have any real fighting value. Our naval prowess lies almost entirely in our 18 battleships, eight armored cruisers and 12 ships, the rest of our ships would cut but little in the usual war. Ships of the battle line practically alone determine the naval strength of a nation." Referring to the foreign naval program sent in April says: "Of all the countries, Germany is the only one during the last few years faster than any of the others. Her ship building program started in 1898, and will be completed in 1908, possibly 1907. In addition, we will first planned. This program will be built on 138 ships, 14 large cruisers, 38 smaller cruisers and 96 torpedo boats. After the completion of this program, the plan contemplates new constructions to replace ships which, though still serviceable, have reached the prescribed age limit." Concerning new ships for our navy, the report says: "The committee recommended that for the purpose of further increasing the naval establishment, the president have constructed two first battleships, the carrying heaviest armor and most powerful ordinance for vessels of their class, upon a trial displacement of 16,000 tons, and to equip them with practicable speed and great radius of action, inclusive of armor and armament, not exceeding $4,212,000 each; two first class cruisers of about 14,500 tons trial displacement, to cost, exclusive of armament, not exceeding $4,650,000 each; not exceeding of about 1,000 tons trial displacement. "The complete cost of the two first class battleships, two first class armored cruisers and two gunboats, with weapons of the same design, will approximate $2,500,000. The ships and cruisers will be larger than any heretofore authorized by congress, and the plans recommended by the board of construction already have been approved. The naval authorities abroad. The committee is of opinion that in recommending the nove naval program, it is making a substantial and healthy cost of our navy, and one which will cost everywhere with popular favor."

Senor Salvador Cafero has presented to the Chilean government a project for a new fast line of steamers between the Pacific and Mediterranean ports, with headquarters at Valparaiso and a capital of a quarter of a million sterling in 20,000 shares, a subvention to be granted on condition that the steamers should be armed as cruisers in war time. Wyoming has 35,000,000 acres of good grazing lands. There are about 1,000,000 cattle and 3,000,000 sheep in the state. Between the cattle men and sheep men exists a feud that not infrequently leads to murder. Sheep, as you may or may not know, feed in so close order that when a flock has fed over a range, not a spear of grass remains. Cattle browse at random, and leave behind more than they eat, so that the range may provide sustenance for two or three herds, one following the other. No Collections Antique Statuary.

A physician of long standing in this city who has a practice that any of his colleagues might envy—and, many in all probability do—recently gave this advice to a young doctor who was just starting out in his profession. The older man is a type of the kind of doctor that is said to be going out of style—the family physician. Whether he is destined to disappear or not, this kind of a physician followed a highly profitable kind of career while it lasted. Many young men used to regard this sort of practice as that to which they all aspired. "I have always made it a rule," said this experienced man of medicine, "to close every visit to a patient with a question or a comment on his or her physical condition. It is all very well to discuss various questions with one's patients, talk about all kinds of subjects and interest them in any way possible. But the final remark must be connected with the patient's physical condition. Tell him not to forget to take a certain medicine regularly, or tell her that you have never had a case that was just like hers—but in all cases talk last about the illness of the person you have come to see. I learned that when I was a young man from the most popular physician of his time. I always felt indebted to him, for it was not long before I realized the truth of the theory that nothing leaves such a favorable impression on a patient as to emphasize the importance of his malady!" TRICK OF VOICE. snow One Lawyer Keeps the Judge from Sleeping. There is said to be a lawyer in Philadelphia who possesses a trick of the voice to which a certain measure of his success in United States Supreme court practice is due. The trick consists in waking a judge. Whether it is a common practice for the high dignitaries of the federal supreme bench to indulge in a nap in the course of a long and tedious argument, such happenings are not unknown, and it is well for an able logician of the bar to be prepared for it. The trick of waking a sleepy judge would seem to be something in the nature of slamming a law book under his nose or connecting his personality with the current of an electric battery. But the trick is explained as purely a matter of sound involved in the skillful control of the voice. It is said that a barrister practiced in the art and rhetoric of addressing the bench can gather all the waves of sound from his throat into a focus and deposit it in the orifice of the judge's ear with the general effect of a bomb. The trick, however it is accomplished, is said to have been worked repeatedly with success on the late Judge McKenna, whose habit of to sleep on the bench was once a notorious subject of comment in the litigation over the Berliner telephone patients. This queer trick of the voice, while it is said to be the peculiar property of one celebrated lawyer, is probably attempted often with varying success by others - Philadelphia Record. An Old Superstition. Superstition connected with the seventh child of a seventh child is commemorated by a tombstone in a village churchyard near Bridgewater, Somerset, says the London Chronicle. This inscription runs: "Sacred to the memory of doctress Anne Pounsberry, who departed this life December 11, 1873, aged 14 years. Stand and consider the wondrous works of God." "Doctress" was not merely an epithet, but a baptismal name, for she was a seventh daughter, and was, therefore, credited with powers of healing. She practiced in herbs and charms. For king's evil this was her prescription: "Take the legs of a toad. Bake and grind them to powder, with pestle and mortar. Place the powder in a bag around the neck of the sufferer." AS TRUE AS GOSPEL There is always compensation. Our angels go out that our archangels may come in. Unhappy is the man for whom his own mother has not made all other mothers venerable. It is poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mein, inventions and actions of others. What an absurd thing it is to pass over the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attentions on his infirmities. Virtue will catch as well as vice by contact; and the public stock of honest, manly principle will daily accrume. A greater value should be set on higher moral instinct and more virtue than on punishment greatness or indulgence. It is better to transgress the law than to commit a crime. A greater value should be set on higher moral instinct and more virtue than on punishment greatness or indulgence. It is better to transgress the law than to commit a crime.

P. S. Eustis, G. P. A., Chicago, Ill SHE DID NOT RECLAIM THE COIN. Though Given the Opportunity, Mrs. Stanford Did Not Renew. Those who "pass the plate" in country churches are not often regaled with the glitter of gold among the contributions. It is related that about ten years ago Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford were traveling through the middle west incognito. They happened to be in Bloomington, Ind., one Sunday, and pursuant to their usual custom went to church. They attended the Christian church of Bloomington, then largely in the hands of Amzi Atwater. When the plate was passed for the collection Mrs. Stanford dropped in a $10 gold piece. Mr. Atwater was the deacon in charge of the collection-taking. It was noticed that the ushers held a hurried conference with him when the money was taken forward. At its conclusion Mr. Atwater said: "Ladies and gentlemen, there has evidently been a mistake. Some one has dropped a $10 gold piece into the collection. If he will pass up after the services we will be glad to allow him to exchange it for the amount he intended to give." It is, of course, needless to say that Mrs. Stanford did not take advantage of the opportunity. Work Given by Walter Raleigh. Among the bequests of the late Dr. Edmund Croker of Lismabrin House, Tallow county, Waterford, Ireland, is a gold watch which Sir Walter Raleigh gave to the infant son of Richard Croker, the direct ancestor of Dr. Crane, in 1687. Sir Walter was sponsored by the island son who was named Weller, and to whom the watch was given. Until a few years ago the watch kept excellent condition, when the man wore it to the thickness of three inches. The curious custom of "telling the bees" is observed in some parts of nearly every country in the world. Those who observe the custom always go to the beehives and tap gently on each one, then stoop and whisper under the cap or lid that Mary, Jane, Thomas or William is dead. This is done to keep the little honey makers from foraking their place of abode should they have to wait and find out the news of the calamity themselves. The custom is alluded to in Whittier poem "Telling the Bees." CAMPING IN COLORADO is one of the most delightful and inexpensive ways of spending a vacation.

Asquire » Lucrative: Practice, A physician of long standing in thi: city who has a practice taat any o ‘Als colleagues might envy—and, many in all probability do—recently gave this advice to a young doctor who was just starting out in his profession. The older man {s a type of the kind of doc- tor that fs said to be going out of style—the family physician. Whether he is destined to disappear or nol, this kind of a physician followed a highly Profitable kind of career while it last- ed. Many young men used to regard this sort of practice as thut to which they all aspjired. “have always made {t a rule.” sald this experienced man of medicine, “to close every visit to a patient with a question or a comment on nis or her physical condition, it Is all very well to discuss various questions with one’s patients, talk about all kinds of sub- Jects and interest them in any way Possible. But the final remark must be connected with the patient s physi- cal condition, Tell him not to forget to take a certain medicine regularly, or tell her that you have never had a case that was just like hers—but in all eases talk last about the fliness of the person you have come to see. I learn- ed that when I was a young man from the most popular physician of his time.| I always felt indebted to him, for it was not long before I realized the truth of the theory that nothing leaves such @ favorable impression on & patient as to emphasize the import: | ance\of his malady?” TRICK OF VOICE. ‘mow One Lawyer Koops the Judee from Alveping: ‘There Is said to be a lawyer in Phil. adelphia who possesses a trick of the foice to which a certain measure of his success in United States Supreme court ‘practice i due. The trick consists in waking a judge. Whether it is a com- mon practice for the high dignitaries of the federal supreme bench to in- dulge in a nap in the course of a long and tedious argument, such happen- (ngs are not unknown, and It {s well for an able logician of the bar to be prepared for {t, The trick of waking a aleepy Judge would seem to be some- thing in the nature of slamming a law book under his nose or connecting bis personality with the curront of an dlectric battery. But the trick 1s ex- plained as purely a matter of sound Involved In the skillful control of the voice. It is said that a barrister prac- Uced in the art and rhetoric of addrass- Ing the bench can gather all the waves of sound from his throat {nto a forus and deposit it in the orifice of tha Judge's ear with the gencral effect of a bomb, The trick, however it is ac- complished, is said to have been worked repeatedly with success on the late Judge McKennan. whose babit of going to sleep on the bench was once a no- torlous subject of comment In the liti- gation over the Berliner telephone pat- ents, This queer trick of the voice, while { is sald to be the peculiar prop- erty of one celebrated lawyer, 1s prob- ably attempted often with varying suc- cass by others —Philadelyhia Record. An Old Superstition. Superstition connected with the sev. enth child of a seventh child is com. memorated by a tomoStone fn a village churchyard near Bridgewater, Somer- set, says the London Chronicle. This inscription runs: “Sacred to the mem- ory of voctress Anne Pounsberry, who departed this life December 11, 181%, aged «5 years. Stand and consider the wondrous works of God.” “Doctress” was not merely an epithet, but a bap- tismal name, for she was a seventh daughter, and was, therefore, credited with powers of healing. She practiced in herbs and charms, For king’s evil this was her prescription: “Take the legs of a toad. Bake and grind them to powder. with pestle and mortar. Place the powder in a bag around the Beck of the sufferer.” AS TRUE AS GOSPEL. ‘There 1s always compensation. Out fangels go out that our archangela may come in.

Tough Given the Opportunity, Mes Stanford Did Not Repent, ‘Those who “pass the plate” in coun- try churches are not often regaled with the glitter of gold among the contributions. It is related that about ten years ago Mr. and Mrs, Leland Stanford were traveling through the middle west incognito, They happened to be in Bloomington, Ind., ong Sun- day, and pursuant to thelr usual cus- tom went to church. They attended the Christian church of Bloomington, then largely in the hands of Amzi At- water. ‘When the plate was passed for the collection Mrs, Stanford dropped in a $10 gold plece. Mr. Atwater was the deacon in charge of the collection- taking. It was noticed that the ush- ers held a hurried conference with him when the money was taken forward. At its conclusion Mr. Atwater sald: “Ladies and gentlemen, there has evi- dently been a mistake. Some one has dropped a #10 gold plece into the eal lection. If he will pass up after the services we will be glad to allow him to exchange it for the amount he in. tended to give.” It is, of course, need- Jess to say that Mrs, Stanford did not take advantage of the opportunity, se i ae ht cara Among the bequests of the late Dr. Bémund: Croker of Lisnabrin House, Mallow county, Watectord, Ireland, $9 Se Fateh whjoh Bis Welter Ren are ae Kngearempat create o POfeter 3a A it Watt was ge ees weet a eee BP tna Bgl seg sortyimenlicts ee een Le Gees er te a S$ ai htine fie © Sh.
