While we are all sensitive to ridi oiF'e, artists aro particularly so. Quite recently a celebrate 1 sculptor was modeling a statue of one of the most noted officers of the civil war — the horse prancing, the general with his hat off, and tho rest of the ordi nary conception, with the added fea ture that a soldier was leading the horse by the bridle and carrying in |ils hand a branch of laurel. The branch was first moleded as a wreath, hut a negro messenger looking at it asked the artist what the "life pre server" was for. and the sculptor im mediately changed the wreath to the bunch of lawreL BOTH FEEL What Proper Food Does for Both Mind and Body. Physical health, mental health, in deed almost everything good on this earth depend in great measure upon proper food. Without health nothing is worth while and health can be won almost every time by proper feeding on the scientific food Grape-Nuts. A California trained nurse proved this: "Three years ago I was taken very sick, my work as a trained nurse having worn me out both in body and mind, and medicine failed to reliev^ me at all. After seeing a number of physicians and specialists and getting no relief l was very much discouraged and felt that I would die of general nervous and physical collapse. “My condition was so had I never Imagined food would help mo hut on the advice of a friend 1 tried Grape Nuts. The first package brought me so much relief that I quit the medi cines and used Grape Nuts steadily three times a day. The result was that within 6 mouths 1 had so com pletely regained my strength and health that 1 was back nursing again and 1 feel the improvement in my brain power just as plainly as 1 do iu physical strength “After my own wonderful experi ence with Grape-Nuts I have recom mended It to my patients with splen did success and it has worked wonders in the cases of many invalids whom I have attended professionally."

A rare honor for one of his age lias been conferred on Stanley M. Cox, the 12-year-old son of Arthur M, Cox of Brooklyn, by the Humane Society of Massachusetts, in awarding hi% a bronze medal for bravery in sav^g life. Tiie medals of the society aiV anly given where unusual personal risk is assumed in effocting a rescue, and they are only conferred after a thorough investigation. The singular courage and coolness displayed by young Cox in saving the life of Frank Deveau. a boy of eight, at Hast Gloucester, Mass., on Aug. 13 last, fulfilled the conditions upon which the society gives its decora tions. Cox was coming down Bass lliver in his sailboat, when he heard a cry close by and saw that Deveau Stanley M. Cox. had fallen Into the water. The lad was sinking for the third time, and Cox. without a moment’s hesitation, jumped into the water to assist him. The river is very deep at this point, where it empties into the ocean, and the current swift and treacherous. Cox grabbed the boy. and. secdng that it would be practically impossible to reach the shore with his burden against the current, devoted his strength mainly to keeping afloat. The watrh at the life-saving station at the mouth of the river had wit nessed the attempted rescue and came to Cox’s assistance. Both boys be came unconscious when they wore taken from the water. Cox soon re covered, but the Deveatt lad was be lieved to be dead and was not re vived for an hour. Varied Freaks of Nature. The season of 1903 will go on record as bringing the experience of more varied freaks of nature than any year within the memory of the present gen eration at Stafford Springs, Conn. The same week that the first snow storm appeared there came to the lo cal market strawberries—open-field, second crop productions—string beans of fine quality from bean stalks that had already borne their regular crop, and sweet corn more tender and juicy than much that came out during the proper season. Birds' Apartment House. The weaving grosbeaks of Africa build their nests on the apartment house plan. Out of bushman’s grass tuey weave a wide umbrella shaped structure, impervious to rain. Around the eaves of this they make their nests, which touch one another, but have separate entrances. Old Fire-fighting Implements. Joseph Williamson of Augusta, Me., has some relics of the olden times in the shape of two tire buckets such as were used in fighting fires before even the primitive hand tubs came into use. The buckets were the prop erty of Mr. Williamson’s grandfather, Joseph Williamson of Belfast, when he was a member of tlie fire depart ment of that place in 1821. Bank Account Long Untouched.

That it is possible to commit sui cide by simply boldine- one's breath has been clearly proved by a despon dent Norwegian, who recently killed himself in th-is very unusual manner. When he determined to die he closed his mouth and nostrils and by mere force of will prevented his lungs from uolng their proper work. This case is the more remarkable, as there has long been a popular no tion that no human being could by mere wiH power stop the action of the lungs for more than one or two | minutes. For this reason it has at tracted much attention, and a French writer, commenting on it, says: "To persons of good taste who are weary of this life this method of j committing suicide will certainly com I mend itself, one reason being because | the body is not disfigured thereby, and | another because the act can be corn- i mitted in any place and at any time, it Is true that sensitive or nervous persons will never be able to kill themselves in this manner, for, sim ple as it seems, the act of retaining one's br-ath until death comes ran only be performed by one who is eith er unusually phlegmatic or endowed .vith a very strong will.”—New York Herald. No Vowels in It. Many places have curious names, hut apparently there is only one place which has a name without any vowels. That place is the little hamlet of Ws, near Paris. Ws being an unpro nounceable name, the inhabitants of the hamlet have transformed it Into “d'Us.” but this change has not been sanctioned legally, and on all the official records the name Ws still ap pears. The hamlet has 117 inhabi ants, and its sole attractions are the Chateau d’Osny. which has been for many years in the possession of Ed mond About’s family, and the Chateau de Vigny, which Is one of the best specimens of the Renaissance style of architecture. So far as is known, there is rnly one person in Europe at present who has a name without any vowels, and that is M. Srb. the Mayor of Prague. Venetian Fieher Boy.

Kerosene inebriety is becoming common in many cities. The boys climb upon the tanl; cars, place their noses over the manhole, and thus in hale the fumes. The effects produced are similar to those produced by alco hol, first a feeling of exhilaration, then a period of stupor, and following is the period of deep sleep It is stated that in several instances hoys, drunk from these fumes, have been taken to hospitals.

TableB Turned on Hunter Reynolds When He Laid His Gun Down. Milton Reynold* cf Livingston y*anor. N. Y.. took his gun the other nay and went out after rabbits. A big one got up. and Reynolds chased it until it disappeared in ». hole in the ground. The hunter laid his gun down, got a pole, and punched it in the hole to route the rabbit out. The gun was cocked all ready for Reynolds to pick it up and shoot the rabbit the moment it came from the hole. The cotton-tail came out with a sud den rush. Its first bound landed it on the gun. Its fore feet struck the trigger. The gun was discharged, both barrels going off at once. Reynolds was in a stooping position, his dog near him. He was just far enough out of line of the gun to es cape the full force of the charges in it, but, two lingers were torn from his left hand, his left calf was badly lacerated by shot, and his left cheek filled with them. One of the dog's legs was shot off. The rabbit went on and is still at large.—New Yrork Sun. Egyptian Runners. The shadow cast by an Egvptiar runner is grotesque enough to frighten children. Trouble in the Family. Dr. Bloomfield, who was for some years bishop of London, became a widower rather early in life and soon afterward married again. By his first wife he had several children, and his second wife was a widow, who also had several children by her first hits band. In due lime other olive branches came to the bishop and his wife, and there now being three distinct clans of youngsters it can readily be imag ined that a good deal of noise and at unies unseemly quarrels disturbed the episcopal palace at Fulham. One morning while the bishop wa? engaged in studying some philosophi cal work, his wife burst into the li brary and exclaimed: ‘Hurry, hurry!’ “What is the matter, my dear?” he asked anxiously. “There's a good deal the matter,’ was the reply, “and there’s not a moment to be lost, for your chihlrer are after murdering mine, and now they’re on the point of strangling ou: children.”-—New York Herald. "Stitch in His Side.’’ .lobn Long, who was stabbed to tin heart over two months ago, walkec into the Worship street police court yesterday apparently in the best o: health. ft may be recalled that the man’s heart was stitched up at the Londor hospital, and he has made a splendic recovery.

Old-Time School Fees. One of the old schoolmarms of Sal is bury, Mass., was Elizabeth Eastman who received ten cents per day fo. tuition. An old bill for twenty-foui weeks ($2.40), which was a deductior of twelve cents for absences, wai found recently, dated 1824. It was t'n< custom in those days for pupils tt carry their fuel with them and it was probably done in this case. A bill ol “Master Walsh," dater ten years later for tuition of the same pupil, gives th« price as $4.33 for schooling of thirteer weeks. Old New York Hotel.
