CASE IN WHICH DESPERATE
PERIL WAS AVERTED BY
READY WIT.
Doctor on on Ocean Liner Tells How
He Escaped Death at the Hands
of an Insane Fellow
Voyager.
The liner Osiris, bound for Aus
tralia, was plowing her way through
the Indian ocean at the rate of 17
knots an hour, it was midnight.
In a few minutes, however, Dr.
Smith, a passenger, ascended from
the lower regions, and commenced to
pace up and down in the night air.
The atmosphere of his cabin lie had
found too oppressive to be borne, and
so he resolved, being unable to sleep,
lo enjoy a cigar or dick. Overhead,
the stars shone anil the masts anil
funnels of the liner loomed vast and
spectral in the pale light of the moon.
Dr. Smith reflected how foolish he
had been not to leave his berth ear
lier. What could be more enjoyable,
since sleep was denied him, than
solitude and a choice cigar on the
deck of the good ship Osiris?
Suddenly he became aware of the
"fact that he was no longer alone. A
da.ik figure appeared at the head of
the companion ladder. Not wishing
4or company. Dr. Smith -trolled slow
ly away, and leant over ihe starboard
*liJo of th« liner. Suddenly he turned,
-anrl raw a fellow-passenger, who suf
fered from delirium tremens. "Hulio,
doctor!" exclaimed the new-comer
pleasantly. "Do you know what I am
going to do? I'm going to wring your
neck, and throw you overboard'."
Suiting the action to the word, the
maniac seized Dr. Smith in a grip of
iron.
Then ensued a frightful struggle.
Realizing the awful peril which
menaced him, the doctor struggled
with despairing energy to bring liis
assailant to the deck, but in vain, lie
was like a child in the man's grasp.
Suddenly, with a superhuman ef
fort, the maniac lifted Dr. Smith bod-

ily in tlie air, and held him over the
ship's side.
"Do you hear —do you hear?" lie
gasped. "I'm —going—to—drop—you
—overboard!"
The doctor's heart almost ceased
to boat. There was no one about ex
cept the steersman, but he was at the
other end of the deck. Then an idea
came to him.
"All right, old man,"he replied,
"but let's have a drini: together first."
"Very well," replied the maniac, de
positing the doctor ori the deck, and
strolling towards the bar.
To Encourage Thrift.
A New York man bas just "patented
a device for the encouragement, of
thrift. It consists of a toy savings
bank with a clock attachment. The
clock is set. in the face of the bank
and cannot be wound unless a dime is
dropped in the slot. As winding
causes tin; dime to fall into the vault
and the clock will run but 24 hours
without rewinding, the contrivance as
sures tiie accumulation of TO cents a
week. The theory is that the neces
sity of depositing a dime every <fay
will lead to slipping in other coins at
odd moments and thus establish a
habit of saving.

WOMEN IN NEW FIELDS.
British Smart Society Takes to "Hop
ping"—Woman Veterinary.
Work in the hop fields is the latest
"rest cure" fad for l.ondon's smart
set, and the luxurious society "hop
pers" claim that a week's hopping is
far better and more pleasant than a
rest at aijy well-known health resort.
The tents of these well-to-do pickers
are expensively furnished, anil easy
chairs, soft beds and up-to-date camp
ing outfits are among their hopping
appliances.
In Berlin there is a woman veter
inary surgeon who is an official in
spector of animals. She rides through
the streets on the lookout for animals
suffering from any disablement, and
before reporting a horse as unfit for
work, she examines its injuries and

alleviate its pain. She carries a leath

surgical appliances.
Day of Guillotine Ended.
Since tiie prison of La Kochett.e,
where the French guillotine used to
be kept, has been pulled down, the
machine of death has been kept in a
shed belonging to the state execu

Paris where it seems desirable to put
up the guillotine, no more executions
take place there. The president of the
republic fiets around the difficulty by
commut&ig the death sentence to im
prisonment.
FIND OUT
The Kind of Food That Wiil Keep
You Well.
The true way is to find out what is
| best to eat and drink, and then culti
! vate a taste for those things instead
I of poisoning ourselves with improper,
indigestible food, etc.
A conservative Mass. woman writes:
"1 have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for
! the young and for the aged; in sicli
| ness and in health; at first following
directions carefully, later in a variety
j of ways as my taste and judgment sug
gested.
"Hut its most special, personal bene
-1 fit has been a substitute for meat, and

1 me to give up the 'coffee habit.'
| "Served in this way with the addi
' tion of a cup of hot water and a little
fruit it has hfen used at. my morning
