Madam LeMay, the clairvoyant whose astonishing success in giving readings, has attracted so much at- tention in Fort Frances the past few days is at the McDermid Hotel, where her room was crowded today during her office hours. So great has been the press because of desire of the test of Madam LeMay’s wonderful power that many have been compelled to go away without gaining admittance. Those who have reached her declare her demonstrations are wonderful.— Ady. Still Weak From Hot Spell Physicians say that the unusual and terrific heat of last summer did great damage to many people who do not even suspect it. There are many right in this town who are feeling weak, listless and discouraged, losing flesh and going into a decline on ac- count of the strain of last summer. A Red Bank, N. J, man, Mr. Wal- ton Cullington, has found what to do in such cases. He says: “When I was badly rundown, growing weak and losing flesh, I took Vinol to build me up and make me strong. It has been perfectly satisfactory, and I would not take anything for the good Vinol did me. I am all right now.” It would be a great blessing if all who are in broken health, whether old, middle-aged or young, could know that Vinol is the one thing they need to make them well and strong again. We can prove by people you know well that Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron preparation with- oil, is the greatest blood builder and strength creator known,and we guar- antee it to give satisfaction.

The railroad man who had been 36 hourg without sleep was good natured about it, though it was evident that he was verging on a nervous condition that might well render him incompe- tent. There is an occasional person who can dispense ith sleep in an astonishing manner, the New York Mail observes. Yet it is not certain that such persons really do escape the penalty. It has been asserted that Napoleon’s later failures of judgment were the result of an unnerving that followed his earlier “four hours enough” slesp, which he boasted and practiced. It'is being sald by medical observ- ers that the “American nervousness” s not a little attributable to the so- clal day demand, the hours after busi- ness, directly cut down from the sleep segment of the 24 hour day. Itis probably true that no other country is so exacting on the full business day. That we insist on. It must begin promptly and early. But the social demand is quite as imperative. Shall not a man go out with his wife in the evening, after she had been left alone all day? She is quite ready. She took a nap after lunch, at the very hour he was busiest downtown. The church is run by the evening meetings. So is poli- tics. And it may be said that we spend our raoney mostly in the evening, ex- cept what the women spend in the shops.

One of the young men attached to the American embassy at London. brought back with him a story that has to do with a feature of the Duffer- in estate, near Belfast—a historic ruin In the shape of a castle that had been & stronghold of the O'Neils. It appears that one day Lord Duff- erin visited it with his steward, one Mulligan, and that he drew a line with his walking-stick round it, at the same time instructing the steward to build a protecting wall on that line. Then Dufferin went to the continent, feellng quite secure as to the preser- vation of the historic feature. Upon his return to Ireland he visited the es- tate. The castle was gone. He rub- bed his eyes and looked again. Then he sent for Mulligan. “Where’s the castle?” he asked. “The castle, me lord?

You cannot circumvent the mosqui- to as you can the fly. She has too many brains, wherever she may stow them. But she is frail and feeble on the wing, and you can get her there. For example, in India it is well known that mosquitoes will not bite under the punkah, therefore exiles in that land of the twelve plagques sleep un- der a swishing punkah for the six summer months, and under a mas-! quito net for the rest of the year, for there is no closed season for mos- quitoes in India. One sleeps as sweet- ly as may be in that hot, intermittent gale, lulled by the creaking ropes as the punkah flops and sags; sleeps fairly well until the punkah-wallah, who sits outside on your veranda and pulls the punkah by a string through ! the wall, himself begins to doze, and finally nods as the punkah flags, and slowly, after a spasmodic jerk or two, sinks to rest. The hot air settles down upon you. The mosquitoes set- tle down on you, too, not singly, but in battalions. I have counted seven- teen separate bites on a single finger. And then you wake, slowly, confused- ly, as souls will awake in purgatory, wondering what is wrong. Finally you awake enough to discover what is wrong, and realize that the punkah has stopped, and that in consequence you are threatened with an accuma- lation of heat apoplexy, malaria and blood ‘poisoning complicated by ap- proaching nervous prostration. You might as well resign yourself and make your will. But if you are un- resigned and choleric you take a cork- screw from the shelf, as the White Knight said to Alice, and go to wake him up for yourself. Then, for the rest of that night and for several nights to come the punkah blows a gale. Or if you are diplomatic rather than choleric you calculate that the punkah-wallah has almost certainly gone to sleep with the punkah-cord in his fingers. You reach up in the moe- quito-haunted dark for the slack of the cord on your side of the wall, pull in the slack as cautiously as if you were playing a salmon in a pool, not & punkah-wallah on a veranda, and when the cord is fairly taut you give one long, quick pull that whirls the | punkah-wallah half way across the ve- randa, where he wakes in a cold sweat, thinking the long-nailed de- mons have got him at last. Your sotto voce remarks carry just that meaning you hope they have.—Har- per's Weekly. S s Drab China.

All sorts of odd ways of being pol soned by lead are recorded in medical history: The man who regularly took the first glass of beer each morning in & saloon, the beer standing over night In the lead pipe running from the keg to the bar spigot; the maid using the first glass of water from the tap sup- plied by a lead service pipe; the (painter who ate his luncheon every day with paint-covered hands; the painter apprentice who slept in the back room with the paint pails and white lead kegs. It might reasonably have been expected that the possibil Ities in the way of surreptitious lead polsoning had been exhausted. Not Bo. It was recently discovered, after the death of & woman who had been suffering from a mysterious case of lead poisoning not affecting any other meémbers of her family that she was in inveterate snuff taker. The snuft was examined and found to be badly sontaminated with lead from the fofl n which it was wrapped.
