WILL TEST TOBACCO. Prof. Wiley to Experiment to De- termine Effect on Human System. Elgbteen Youns Meo to Be Used and All Forms of the Weed Will Be Tried on Them in a Thor- ough Investigation. Prof. Wiley, chemist of the agricul- tural department, will conduct another experiment this fall which will attract as much attention as did the famous squad of 12 “poison eaters” that for seven months was subjected to experi- ments with food adulterants at Prof. Wiley’s “borax boarding house.” The experiments to begin in the fall will be for the purpose of determining the ef- fect of tobacco, good, bad, and indiffer- ent, pure and impure, and domestic and imported, upon the heart, lungs, and di- gestive organs and the human system generally. pers,” cigar smokers, and devotees of pipes will make up the new squad, which will consist of 18 men of all ages. Prof. Wiley believes the experiments wil! not only be of interest to the emok- ers throughout the country, but will prove of value to the manufacturers of various forms of tobacco, During the firet 30 days of the experiments the members of the squad wil! not be per- mitted to use tobacco In any form, Thus H ii the members wil] begin on the same basis. + Alter the expiration of the 90 days each man will be given an allowance of tobacco each day. What will be known as “smokers’ squad” will begin its “work” with three cigars a day, one to be smoked after each meal. Gradually this allowance will be increased. Cigars of every kind will be used, Including do- mestic, Porto Rican, Philippine, Cuban, and other imported brands. This plan has been adopted to determine the rela- tive harmfulness of each, After suff- clent data has heen obtained relative to clears the squad will be provided with Pipes and smoking tobacco and more data will be obtained. Then the cigarette fiends will be given an inning. They will be divided Into two squads, “inhalers” and “noninhal- ers,” and the results of excessive and moderate smoking are to be noted with particularattention, Stfl] another squad will be provided with plugs of chewing tobacco and government cuspidors and instructed to chew as much tobacco as possible. “Snuffers” will be given gov- i ernment snuff boxes and the best brasde 7 of powdered weed, and the effects of the southern practice of “dipping” will be tested to determine the effect on the sys- tem One month prior to the date set for the conclusion of the experiments an¢ t the disbandment of the tobacco users the men will again be forbidden the use of tobacco in any form, and the results of this sudden stoppage and the effect upon the physical condition of the squac will be carefully noted. A larrenumber of clerks of the agricuItural department have offered their services for the ex- periments. A MODERN ENOCH ARDEN. Woman Returns to Rockford, M1. After Long Absence to Find Has- band Living with Third Wife. A woman in the role of Enoch Ar- oT den returned to Rockford the other day after an absence of 21 years. The chief figure in this curions his- tory is Mrs. Louise Olson. Twenty- one years ago Mrs. Olson was injured in a railroad wreck near Buffalo, N. Y. She was taken te a hospital, but re- covered. Her mind was not quite clear, 4 however, and she wandered to France. , Another victim of the wreck died in the hospital, and by mistake was buried as Mrs. Olson. When Mrs. Olson returned to Rock- ford she found the two babies she had surprised beyond measure at her re- turn. Alexander Olson, her husband, she found living with his third wife, the second Mrs. Olson, whom he married while believing fully in his first wife’s death, having died some years ago. Mr. Olson fully identified the returned one as his first wife. The latter will rec- ognize the rights of the third wife, and will live with her recovered children. BEAR TAKES REVENGE. Keeper Punished Beast Some Ti Ago and Is Taken to Hos- Pital as a Result. William F. Winchermann, an animal trainer, had a fight the other day with Tony, the largest and most intelligent of the Winchermann troup of perform- ing bears, at New York. As a result Winchermann is in a serious condition at the New York hospital. He may get well, but the surgeons were mak- ing no guarantees to that effect. The trainer had been away eight » weeks and had ordered the bear out of his cage to take a bath. The bear obeyed, but after the bath, when the trainer’s back was turned for a mo- ment, the bear attacked him, knocked him down, tearing the calf of his leg, chewed both arms badly, and was bit- ing into one leg when felled by a blow from a club wielded by an assistant Cigarette fiends, snuff “dip-! FLOWERS FOR OLD STAMPS. Unique Method by Which Wife of Rector of a Chicago Church Gets Weekly Supply. A unique method of supplying & church with flowers for the Sunday morning service has been discovered by Mrs. William White Wilson, wife oi the rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal church, Chicago. For some time Mrs. Wilson has been making a collection of canceled postage stamps among the communicants of the church from whom she receives them in such num- bers that she sometimes has as many as 350,000 in stock at a time. They are turned over to a florist, who has a contract to fill the two vases on the church altar with flowers every Sunday in return. By this scheme the floral offerings of the church are secured without any drain on the treasury. | ‘The florist’s contract calls for flow- ers to the value of $1.50 for each serv- ice. This requires 18,500 stamps each week, eight cents a thousand being the price agreed upon. In order to keep pace with this enormous demand for stamps the communicants of the church have enlisted the assistance of such of their friends as are connected with downtown offices handling a large volume of mail. From these sources stamps by the thousands are received and sent to the rector’s house. One man who is not a communicant of the church recently sent stamps to the number of 170,000. A member of the congregation who is employed in the post office sends in a contribution sev- eral times a year, each consignment containing about 30,000 stamps The task of counting the individual stamps proving tiresome, Mrs. Wilson has adopted the plan of measuring them in a small cardboard box con- taining approximately 300. Several times a year the florist comes to col- lect his bill at the parsonage, return- ing with a wagonload of pay in the shape of boxes and bags of stamps to the number of several hundred thous- sand, The stamps are sold to a dealer who sorts them over in search of rare speci- mens and sends the rest abroad, They are used for decorative purposes and in the manufacture of papier mache. TRADE WITH CANADA GROWING Commerce with Our Northern Neigh- bor Shows a Large Increase Over Last Year, Just at the time when sq much is being said about Mr. Chamberlain's recipro- city scheme for the British colonies and of a protective tariff for British indus- try, attention should be directed to the important fact that during the fiscal year ending with the last of June the srowth of American commerce with British North America was greater han with any other country, except Germany. Our total exports to British North America during the year were about $125,000,000, against $112,000,000 in 1902, $107,000,000 in 191, an 000,- 90 in 1900. This shows an increase during the year of about $13,000,000, while the increase in exports to Ger- many during the same period was about $23,000,000, Our imports from British North America show an equally rapid growth. During the year just ended we bought Canadian merchandise to the value of about $55,000,000, compared with $48,- 000,000 in 1902, The growth in our im- ports from Canada in the last decade has been about $17,000,000. The growth in our exports to British North America during the same period has been about $77,000,000, It will be noticed that we sell to the Canadians more than twice as much as we buy from them, and that the growth in exports during the last ten years has been much greater than the growth in imports, Stated in the order of value, our prin- cipal imports from British North Amer- ica were manufactures of iron and steel, coal, breadstuffs, raw cotton, manufac- otton ag al imp ments, chemicals, lumber and manufac- tures of wood, DEATH OF AGED HERMIT. Graduate of Harvard Who Ha Shunned Society for Forty Years, Dies in the Poorhouse. Rescued from starvation and exposure, @ graduate of Harvard college is dead in the county almshouse at Bethany, N. Y. He was James C. Hall, and dur- ing 40 years he bore the name of the Alexander hermit. No one ever knew what drove him from society, but, during , two score years he lived absolutely alone on his farm of 160 acres \near Alexander, The place ran to weeds and brambles; barns and sheds rotted away; every room in the house but the kitchen was closed, moldered and damp into de cay. In one of the rooms was found a li- brary of 300 or 400 volumes on philo- sophical works, many of great value. Early in March a rural mail carrier, not having seen any signs of life about the house for several days, entered and found Hall, who was 75 years of age, propped up in his chair. He was greatly emaciated, and said he had eaten nothing in several days. The authorities removed him to the alms- house against his vigorous protest, and succeeded in saving his life for a time.
