Y., was removed when the council committee tbat has been going over the plans voted to grant the permit. The local agent for the Smith estate informed the committee that the sky- scraper, which will be the highest office building in the world outside of New York, will be begun within the next six weeks. . Nearly a Centenarian. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 10.—Within four months of her centenary, Mrs. Rebecca Spring, mother of Steele Mackaye, the dramatist, and friend of most of the literary celebrities of mid- Victorian days, died at her home here. | Mrg. Spring was the daughter of Ar- nold Bussen, a prominent anti-slavery leader. Queer Church Ornamentation. The chancellor of the diocese who refused to sanction the design for a memorial window in a Carlisle church on the ground that an angel is depict- ed wearing the coat of arms of the dean and chapter of Carlisle would assuredly make short work of the Lin- coln cathedral “Imp,” which finds a place among the angels forming the angel choir in that building. Up and down England are to be found hun- dreds of examples of the humor of ecclesiastical architects of a past age. from the snarling griffins worked. into the stonework of Henry VIL’s chapel, Westminster abbey, to the dun cow and milkmaids in Durham cathedral. A cat playing a violin can be seen in Wells cathedral, and in Hereford ca- thedral two cats, apparently perform- ing a violin duet. Boston “Stump” is crowded with fantdstic carvings, among which may be mentioned a wife chastising her husband, a teacher caning a pupil and an orchestra com- posed of bears playing an organ, a bagpipe and a drum.—Westminster Gazette, Bread and Dyspepsia. The conclusion that wheat bread is unfit for dyspeptics, sometimes jump- ed at because ill effects are noticed to follow its use, is erroneous. On the contrary, it has been pointed out by Bouchard and others that farinaceous food is peculiarly adapted to some dys- peptic patients. It is the microbes in the starch which are capable of pro- ducing irritating acids that cause the trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec- ommends that only the crust or toast- ed crumbs of the bread be used by dyspeptics, particularly those whose stomachs are dilated. The reason of this is explained by the fact that bak- ing temporarily, though not perma- nently, arrests the fermentation of dough. When it is again heated by the warmth of the stomach the fer- mentation is renewed. " In cases where the bread Is toasted brown through the fermentation is stopped perma- nently.—Family Doctor.

She would only change it again.—Philadelphia Record. ‘Who bravely dares must sometimes risk a fall..-Smollett. KILLS WIFE AND HIMSELF Double Tragedy Result of Domestic Trouble. ‘Washington, Feb. 10.—Murder and suicide are the résult of the sympathy which caused fourteen-year-old Will- uel Shipley, former government em- ploye, to enter the home of the wife he deserted one year ago. The father, telling his son he was “cold and ill,” promised to leave the house before the lad’s mdther returned. Instead, as Mrs. Shipley opened the front door, he ordered the boy up- stairs, fired two shots into the wife’s body and then blew out his brains. Mrs. Shipley died.in a hospital. INJURY AT DANCE IS FATAL High School Girl’s Foot, Stepped On, Is Poisoned.

L Curing a Snake Bite. 7 | This is how the Indians of Central FOR BALE 3 America cure a snake bite: They pin the unlucky patient to the ground and| wind strong creepers above and below the bite until they cut into the flesh. Then they apply a live coal to the wound to cauterize it and follow that up by rubbing in a mixture of chewed tobacco and crushed garlic. By this time the victim is nearly mad with pain and ready to kill everybody in sight, especially when he finds, as' he often does, that the snake was not venomous. “OR SALE—Rubber stamps.
