SJMKS OF TODAY.
Jealousy of I'.uropcun .Notion Shown
bv Methods Adopted to Acquire In
formation. Germany takes a great Interest In
the entire military organizations of
France, and, of course, as an ally of
Italy, the Alpine frontier Is a source
of anxiety to her. The Italians who
net as spies on this frontier are wo
men employed In tho towns adjoining
the frontier.
The tnsk of the women In this busi
ness Is to mnke people talk. Indiscre
tions sometimes form tho most excel
lent means of Information for tho
Hurenu of Stntlstlcs of Foreign Armies.
Let us examine some that might easily
be committed Involuntarily by tho best
of patriots.
Near a fort a stranger, wnlklng by
the side of an artilleryman, will say
to him:
"You seem tired, my friend?"
Oh. no." .
"Put they have Just sent a convoy
of shells."
Oh. no, not yet: but very soon we
are going to have them."
"Indeed!"
"Oh, ye.s; they have changed our
munitions from such a model to such
a model."
Further on a man might easily give
the amount of munitions, and that Is
sulllclent for tho spy. She reports that
such n fort Is furnished with a certain
model of munition., In such a quan
tity. Again, nt nn evening party, for ex

"It Is a long time since I saw you,
my dear."
"Oh, we have had very hard work
lately, Junctions with such nnd such a
regiment, und the renewal of certain
material."
All these Indications are very Inter
esting for a power that Is burning for
knowledge in regard to the smallest
details concerning the Flench army,
and the exact value of Its different olll
cers. In addition to tills, the women who
are in the spying service, and whose
principal role consists In Informing
Germany In reference to the moral
value of the troops, ore equal to their

KNIFE SAVED A LIFE.
Stephen Ynnkowsky 11,-ul a Narrow Es
cape from Dcnlli While Catching
Drift Wood in the Lackawanna.
If John Ynnkowsky had left his
pocket-knife at home on the piano or
any other place than the back pocket
of his trousers, his brother Stephen
would never more catch drift wood In
the Lackawanna river. As it was,
Stephen was dragged under water for
several yards before the sharp blude
severed the rope which, bound about a
log, wns tugging nt the very life of
Stephen Ynnkowsky. He has white
streaks In his hair today, which are
out of place for a young man of 22
years.
Stephen's brother Is three years his
Junior. The brothers live in South
Scranton.
As everybody knows. It Is a custom
to procure fuel for fires from the drift
wood In the river. Yesterday was a
great dav for tills kind of spoil. The
rain had Justified the name river to
the Lackawanna and drift wood was
coming in plenty.
At a point north of the bridge, over
the river, near tho South steel mill, the
two Yankowskys, Stephen and John,
made their fishing ground. The regu
lar tackle a long rope wns taken out
and one end tied around tho waist of
Stephen, who Is the larger built and
stronger.
John then enteied the stream with
the other end In his hand. When a
piece of good-looking wood came along
John would attach his end of the rope
to the wood, while Stephen held fast.
The young men had collected a big
pile of drift and nt 5.I10 o'clock last
evening, Just at dusk, they were think
ing about going home.
Coming down the stream was n big
log, a veritable prize package for (he
fishers. John at once made for it. He
caught the log and pushed It to the
other side of the stream. Then he
firmly secured his end of the rope. The
log thoush had been slowly floating
from tho still wnter to a part of the
liver known ns the rapids, just before
tho stream goes under the bridge, and
whe'n John Yankowskl released the
log the sudden Jerk of the rope tight
ened and pulled Stephen from the bank
of the river into the stream.
The log caught the rapids and was
borne at a strong tension down the
river. Stephen Yankowskl nt the other
end of the rope yelling like mad as he
felt himself being dragged to his doom.
I'ndcr the water he went; he struggled,
but tho foice of the stream was Irre
slstable and he was Hearing tho deeper
water when John, the brother, reached
him.
The river nt the point passes through
a territory banked on one side by the
Jersey Central railroad nnd a culm
dump a'nd on the other by a high bank.
No houses aro near, and no person
was In sight.
Stephen Ynnkowskl was under the
water for good when John, after fumb
ling through his clothing, found u knife
in the back pocket of his trousers. Ho
grasped the rope Just In time nnd cut
It with his knife.
Stephen Yankowskl arose from the
wnter, half-drowned, and the two
brothers made their way home, leaving
the captured drift-wood where It was.

THE LAND OF GOLD
AND DIAMONDS
Concluded from Page C.
Ized the Imminent danger we were In,
nnd In a moment the blankets were
thrown to the ground nnd down they
ran Into the stream. Some tmt their
hands to the wheels, some laid hold of
the reins at the heads of the horses,
others pushed behind tho cart, and
with united shouts, yells, musculnr ef
fort and a liberal use of the whip,
the horses moved forward, and we nil
reached the banks on the other side
of the river In safety.
"Think of that black men, not more
than one stago removed from tank
barbarism, rushing Into the midst of
a swelling river, risking their own
lives In order to resciin the lives of
others. Whnt an example lo many
white men In Christian nations, who
look with cold Indifference on some of
their poort r neighbors been swept
away by various currents of adversity
without making any effort to save
them."
He also spoke of the dangers aris
ing from the presence of wild beasts
and venomous reptiles. Snnkes had
been found under the bed of his lit
tle children. He himself had slept In
a house to which elephants had come
forth from the woods during the night
in order to drink water from a dam In
front of the said house. Mr. Hughes
called one day on a good Dutchman,
while traveling through the country
where he saw a very beautiful tiger
skin more than nine feet In length
from the tip of the tnll to the end of
the nose. The Dutchman said: "I shot
that here on my farm, but he had
killed and devoured three of my calves
before I could get an opportunity to
shoot hlni."
WILD ANIMALS PLENTIFUL.
Mr. Hughes said that 011 one occa
sion he slept In a house very near a
number of very thickly wooded ra
vines which were Infested with wild
animals, and frequently during tho
night his slumbers were disturbed by
the yelling and barking of Jacknls.
While living in Algo Bay he fre
quently saw some very exciting: whale
hunts, nnd some very Interesting In
cidents connected therewith. On one
occasion a huge whale had been
beached and was being cut up in ol
der to make whale oil. As some time
had elapsed between the capture of
this great fish and the issue of the per
mit by the magistrate to cut him up
nn accumulation of gas had taken place
Inside this sea monster. Ladders were
secured at length and some Kalllrs
mounted with long knives and com
menced cutting up the llesh. but ns
soon ns the knife passed through there
wns an xploslon of gas, which sound
ed like the report of a cannon nnd the
poor Kaffir was blown up Into the air
and then fell down the other side Into
tho sea. He sustained no serious con
sequences b' yond being mndo a bap
tist, contrary to his desire.
In the same town he frequently saw
a man who had lost his leg while bath
ing. He had been bathing at the end
of the Jetty, and as he was coming
away even while his hands were on
the Jetty steps and he was getting out
of the wnter a shark came and bit off
one of his legs Just below the knee.
A friend of his while In a smnll boat
on the Crockadlle river had his boat
capsized, those who wero with him
wero swept away by the roaring, rush
ing torrent, and were never more seen
alive, but his friend swum to the other
side of the river, where a number of
Kaffirs were waiting his arrival. They
extended their hands to assist him to
come out of the stream, but just as his
hands touched their's he was snatched
away like a Hash of lightning and wns
never seen again. He fell a prey to
tho crockadlles of that dangerous liv
er. AN EXPLORER'S PERIL.
A mining expert from North Wales
exploited Mashonaland nnd Matabele
lnnd for the space of nearly three
years. While bathing on a very hot
day In one of the rivers of those coun
tries ho put his cloths on the sand and
rubble near the water and placed his
little dog on his cloths. While my
friend was In the water he heard a
squeak and a splash. He looked around
and found his dog had been taken, und
was In the merciless jaws of the crock
adlle. While there are dangers arising from
the presence of wild men and wild
beasts, there are many things of a very
alluring nature in that distant land.
To some people there Is a great fascin
ation In paving the way for the spread
of Christianity, the march of civiliza
tion, and the extension of commerce
The rule Is Hint civilization and re
ligion advance over and partly In vir
tue of the graves of pioneers. Hefore
we could havo enjoyed our present hap
py and glorious environments, very
many of our ancestors must have ex
perienced great hardships. The rough
places of thin world cannot be made
plain nor tho crooked places straight
without the sacrifice of ease and In
many Instances even life.
Other men did this for us and why
should not wo do something of the
kind for those who are still living In
daikness and the habitations of cruelty.
Many Christians talk much about self
denial, but what does It amount to?
They live In luxuriously furnished
homes, they fare sumptuously every
day, and they surround themselves at
great cost with nearly all that Is pleas
ing to the eye, delightful to the ear,
nnd most gratifying to the taste, and
yet they say that self-denial und per
sonal Baciilleo are among tho most
I prominent elements of the Christian
religion, which they proress lo have
embraced. Give mo the man who is
prepared to place his body and his
bank book, his soul and all Its sacred
energy on the niter of service for tho
good of humanity and the glory of
God.
CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION.
The romance of a country some parts
of which wns the cradle of civiliza
tion before England and America ap
peared on the horizon of the known an
cient inhabited globe, is very great.
The primeval tribes who have lived
on that continent anterior to the dawn
of civilization constitute a subject for
study of the deepest Interest. Tho
climate which In many parts Is very
beautiful and the clear, cloudless sky
prove a health restorer to not a few
and a charm to very many. The ener
vating effect of the heat may easily be
coped with by those who are In u posi
tion to take a change of air nnd scen
ery nbout once every three years.
URSTOIlKIl Sl'RKCII.
That's the Way It Looks in tho Caso
ot Etta Marriott, of Montana.
From tho Helena Independent.
Earthquakes as therapeutic agencies
may vet form the subject of scientific
Investigation. Last Week's disturbance
In Helena was responsible for Borne
queer things, and the strangest of them
all, perhaps, happened In the home of
Mr. nnd Mrs. Charles W. Marden, nt
400 Hreckenrldge street, where It
brought speech to their daughter, Etta
Montana Maiden, who had been silent
ten years.
While the enrthqunke elicited only a
word frbm the unfortunnte young wo
man, It was the sweetest sound that
had fallen upon her mother's ears for
many a day and renewed the hope that
speech was soon to be restored to her
daughter.
Miss Marden was born In Helena 27
years ago. She was a bright little girl
and gave promise of becoming a happy,
useful woman. She went to a public
school for a time, but left It to take
a course In a Helena business college.
Until she was lfi years old she was as
quick to learn as any of her school
mates. But then came a calamity
which wrecked her life. She became
seriously ill and a doctor was called
In, who, It is said, gave her drugs that
threw her into convulsions. Soon after
ward she became paralyzed, and one
year after her first attack she seemed
to lose tho power of speech. The paral
ysis of the body left her In time, but
she would not speak. For ten years
she has spoken but three times until
the earthquake shook her Into momen
tary sensibility.
Mrs. Marden believes she has noticed
a chance for the better in her daugh
ter's condition since that morning. The
unfortunate young woman has taken
some Interest In the life nbout her since
then, and her mother Is awaiting the
time when she will begin again to talk.
"I don't know whether It was the
earthquake or not," said Mrs. Marden
last evening. "Something made Etta
talk, for I heard her. We were awak
ened by the earthquake, which, you
know, came at 2.30 o'clock In the morn
ing. I did not know what It was, and
nt first thought that something had
happened to Etta. I Jumped up and
ran to her and said: 'O Etta, what Is
the matter?' To my surprise she re
plied, 'What?' It was only a word, but
It sounded sweet to me.
"Since then I think that Etta has
shown more Interest In things. At any
rate, she Is Improved."

Fat is absolutely neces
sary as an article of diet.
If it is not of the right kind
it may not be digested. Then
the body will not get enough
of it. In this event there
is fat-starvation.
Scott's Emulsion supplies
this needed fat, of the right
kind, in the right quantity,
and in the form already
partly digested.
As a result all the organs
and tissues take on activity.
