HEALTH CAME AFTER 70
Up to that Time the Jtitijre Was in
Constant trend of Ucntli
Ex Chief Justice B 1 Peters of the
Kentucky Court of Appeals haB just
celebrated the 5th anniversary of his
birth at his iume In Ml Sterling In
an interview he said in speaking of his
age and his health
I was an invalid when I can first re
member and I continued to bo one un
til I had lived out nearly the allotted
epan of raane life The- doctors told
me when I was a boy that I would have
to be very careful or I would never live
to mans estate After I was grown
jthey said my time on earth won limited
No medicine they gave me afforded any
relief to my apparently worthless stom
ach and I concluded that I would ex
tend my law practice into the moun
tains ofIventucky so that I could make
a living and at the same time be on
horseback and in the open air as much
as possible
For thirty years I rode over the
mountains in all kinds of weather and
isubsisted on the most meager diet
jCornmeal mush was my staple article
f food and whenever I could get fresh
itnilk I would drink that I could eat
no meat and but few vegetables Af
ter I had reached the age of 70 my stom
ach trouble disappeared and sinee then
and up to the Tast few jwtrs I have
fteen a well man I subsist now chiefly
on Jersey cream and cornmeal mush

A CRUSHER FOR WIFEY
A Distressing Example of a Young
Husbands Absence of Mind
She is a North Side girl says the Chi
cago Tribune and she has recently mar
ried the dearest fellow In the world
She is fully aware of the latter fact nor
does she hesitate to mention it to her
friends Indeed so recent is her mar
riage that some of her acquaintances
have not yet bad a chanco to meet the
most charming of his sex Brief as the
time has been however it has yet been
long enough for her to discover that her
husband is absent minded
The other day she was expecting a
girl friend to lunch with her and make
the acquaintance of this paragon The
guest however failed to make her ap
pearance though a careful search of
the husbands pockets failed to reveal
the note of- invitation It was a rainy
day and late in the af ternoin the now
despaired-of-guest made her appear
ance wet and disheveled
What on earth is the matter eric
the bride You poor thing you ar
dripping wet and you have missed mee
ing Fred
Im awfully sorry replied the gues
but Ive had the queerest adventurt
I was on my way here in plenty of time
it was raining hard and the wind wr
so high that I almost lost my footing n
I stepped from the South Side car an
tried to cross the street
You poor girl Fred came home oi
purpose to meet you I was afraid hi
would forget it but he didnt
Im awfully sorry Yes as I was ii
danger of being blown away a gentle
man came to my rescue and taking my
umbrella escorted me to the other side
of the street
That was kind Fred is always do
ing something just that nice for same
body or other
But what do you think I thanked
him for his kindness and was reaching
for my umbrella when raising his Jiat
he walked off with the umbrella over
him
Why he must be crazy Did you
call after him
Oh yes but he didnt seem to hear
and I had to take refuge in a drug store
after the rain had taken all the curl out
of my feathers and ruined my new boa
Finally the storm abated and I came on
here I thought perhaps your husband
could help me to trace the man He
was toll with gray eyes and a light
beard cut pointed and
Listen to me a minute Gertrude
said the bride her face crimson What
kind of an umbrella was the one you
lost
Navy blue silk with a silver handle
and my monogram on why that is it
Where on earth did you of all people
get it
Fred brought it in when he came
home to luncheon sobbed the bride
He told me to save his life he couldnt
remember where he bad gotten it
DRINKS ETHER BY THE QUART
And TJiereby Greatly Pnzzlcs tlie
Iedical Profession
There are many ether drunkards in
tiie world bu the palm in that line is
easily borne off by John Becker a shoe
laster of Cincinnati Becker attained
the habit of ether drinking some time
ago and now he sometimes puts away
as much as a quart a day of the poi
son Ether is a powerful anaesthetic
having a similar influence to that of
chloroform It is rarely administered
internally owing to its deadly influence
but when it is found necessary it is
generally in the form of Hoffman
drops a solution composed of seven
parts of alcohol to one of ether A dose
in this form is lifteen drops
Ether is also highly inflammable and
when a person acquires a habit of
drinking it the breath and even the
exhalation from the pores of the skin
fill easily become ignited by fire and
cause serious consequences
Becker purchases it in six ounce bot
tles paying for the same 40 cents and
he makes five and six trips a day to the
drug store where he is accustomed to
buy the drug He takes it to his room
and goes on an ether jag sleeping
for hours until the effects wear off
when he again replenishes his bottle
Sometimes when his money is plen
tiful he buys it in pound packages
then he remains in his room and sleeps
I the hours away and dreams a dream
i that would do justice to an opium fiend
The lack of money sometimes puts a
stop to his protracted sprees As
j soon as he straightens up sufficiently
he goes back to work at the factory
and labors industriously to accumu
late money to resume his habit Dur
ing his sprees he eats nothng He just
J sleeps his existence away

EEPER and deeper
Into the purses of
fashionable women
go the designers of
furs Last winter
it seemed as if the
slashing and snip
ping of costly skins
had reached the
limits and now
though the same
sort of extrava
gance is repeated
it does not make as
much of an impres
sion as it did a year ago for two rea
sons One is that we have become
hardened to the expensive shredding
process and the other is that the fash
ion now is to combine two furs in one
garment a style that is carried out with
such striking effect that there is little
room for considering the wasteful pro
cesses by which the garment was put
together Even in the simplest acces
sories of fur notional rules are laid
down for exquisite dressers Thus it is
decreed that the muff should match a
collarette but should contrast with a
large cape or fur coat
If then your fur outfit is no larger
than that shown in the first small pic
ture its two parts must be of the same
fur In this ease it was chinchilla the
collarettes high wired collar being
faced with almond green satin and
the muff being lined with the same ma
terial In this costume a coquettish
trick was effected by veiling the satin
of the collar with the deep lace frill of
the dress collar Thus though the lace
was not attached to the collarette the
distracting and ultra stylish
shabby seal cape and the eltect will
so freshen the latter as to be about
all the renovating it need3 The more
sensible grebe capes are arranged with
the feathers set on a yoke ninl collar
of seal because the feathers are too
delicate to be put where they will mi
against the cheeks As they would on
the inside of the collar But for Just
this reason some woman with a taste
attuned to extravagance will like all
the more the pictured cape last de
scribed
Though in cloths the jacket has out
stripped the cape very pretty capes
are now and then seen and tho one
that the artist selected for the next
picture was strikingly pretty It was
made of dark woolen goods which
was also the material of the dress and
right here it should be said that when

cape and dress are of the same stuff
there is no danger of the cape being
considered in the least out of style
particularly if it is of unusual con

tion of lace and fur was attained Of
course if Madam permitted her lace
handkerchief of a similar mesh to her
collar to show at one end of the muff
it would be entirely accidental or at
least quite as much so as the arrange
ment of her neck lace over the satin
lining of the collar in which she was
to no little pains before her mirror
Three handsomely furred women
are shown in the next picture At the
right were a rich collarette and muff
of sable The collarette was much
longer in front and back than on the
shoulders and was lined with rose
pink silk At the opposite side of the
group was a seal cape cut in one with
its high collar which was faced with
Persian lamb In front were stole
ends A bigger strain on the pur
chasers pocketbook will come from
the garment in the middle of the illus
tration than from either of the others
It was of grebe feathers having a deep

back and ending in a high grebe cel
lar Grebe makes a very desirable
trimming for or part of a fur gar
ment because of its current high
favor and general becomingness Many
women that cannot afford a new heavy
coat or cloak have put their money
into a dainty shoulder cape with high

will go on over the last years slightly
was ornamented with stitching and
silver gray satin was used for lining
Elaborate costumes and amazing con
trasts are occasionally seen upon the
streets and when skillfully planned
may not be decried yet a majority of
women are opposed to them to judge by
the abundance of severe tailor and
dark colored costumes on the prome
nade Smooth cloth in billiard green
in sapphire in stone gray and in all
the browns is worn and if there is any
elaboration at all it is in braiding Silks
are tabooed entirely for street wear
by the women that set the fashions
for the multitude and only women
that have nowhere else to wear their
empire velvet coats etc appear with
them in the shopping portions of town
In those streets where the walk means
the constitutional or the little trip
to morning call or class street dresses
while still of tailor severity show
a touch of elaboration Very smart
coats are half closed over brilliant
silken waistcoats gold braid gives a
military touch scarlet flashes the silk
petticoat affords a dazzling contrast
revers are faced with white satin
white kid appears for binding and
facing and velvet coats in brilliant
colors elaborated with rich fur
combine with stunning hats to remind
the beholder that Miladi is on the street
merely to get somewhere else
this finely drawn distinction the
final pictured costume becomes a street
dress with which none can find fault
Made of bottle green cloth its skirt
opened on each side to show a panel
of plaid silk a navy blue ground with
scarlet lines The side and front
breadths of cloth were decorated with
steel buttons A like effect was pro
duced upon the bodice by giving to it
a front of the silk over which were
bias crossed bands of the dress goods
one of those surplice suggestions re
sulting that are very desirable when
attained in a new way The belt was
green draped satin the collar cloth and
the huge bow at the throat was plaid
silk

Hale and Hearty
s the condition in which every human
being was undoubtedly intended to be and
whenever this is not the case there must be
something wrong Probably in a majority
of cases the trouble is in the blood which
has become impoverished or impure by
reason of hereditary scrofula taints or from
some other cause In case there is scrofula
in the blood there will frequently be erup
tions of the skin though sometimes the
disease assumes a different form In fact
a very large proportion of diseases are
caused by this inherited taint That the
cause is in the blood is proved by the
fact that scrofula salt rheum rheuma
tism catarrh and other like diseases
are most readily cured by purifying
he blood No medicine has such a
ecord of cures as Hoods Sarsapa
illa and yet Hoods Sarsaparilla is always
ldvertisecf as a blood purifier The way to
keep hale and hearty is to keep the blood
pure and if it is not in a condition of purity
