A PLEA FOR DANGER This Writer Argues That Too Much Safety May Breed Weaklings In these days of the placarding of "safety first" and the juxtapos tiou of "safe and sane." is a voice necessarily that of a madman if it be hear 1 , in the la;; - . g'.ug the praises of danger and ri-k! Wth all our laws and move ments and committees for the elimina tion from our daily life of all chances unfavorable to life, limb, health and property are we ia no danger of saving the body at the expense of the spirit! , Too great security breeds weaklings, ari l too nervous a regard for physical 1 safety ts not only craven but ultimate ly unwise. Our nation, if it is to be great and free, must *et high value on the courage, resourcefulness an 1 fcig'i s. irit of the individual citizen. Now, courage is nourished on dangers coped with, and the prudent soul that always " play* safe" * annot be called high or noble. Our evolution up to this point has always been conditioned by the need of self preservation in the face of innumerable enveloping dangers. The creature that hesitated to take chances or always avoided threatene I injury «ooa ceased to exist, either a< species or in hvidual. Hence our bodies, our minds, our very spirits have been evolved, in part ; at least, to fulfill this function of eop ! -,ng with some kind of danger. For what purpose our eyes, our ears, our nerves, our muscles, our sense of right and wTcng? A removal, then, from our environment of this element of danger tenia to be followed by de generacy and atrophy in all parts of oar natures. Indeed, fn modern life we are prone to become stall fed in bo y and spirit. This we tactilv eon fe»* n our passion for sport. which is essentially mimic huntng or war and for the vicarious adventure of roman tic fiction.—S;ribner's.

Practical Prescription Against Stomach Acidity I Nine-tenths of all eases of stomach trouble nowadays are caused by too : much acid. In the beginning the stom j uch itself is not diseased but if this acid condition is allowed to continue. th«* acid is very likely to est into the stomach walls and produce stomach ul e-rs which may render a radical sur gical operation necessary even to pro- i long life. Therefore, an "acid stom ach' 'is really a dange-ms condition (and should be treated seriously. It is ! utterly useless to take pepsin and or dinary stomach tablets. The excess acid or stomach hyperaridyy must be neutralized by the administration of an pfflclent antacid. For this purpose thr , best remedy is oisurated magnesia '■ taken ir. teaspoonful doses In a fourth 'of a glass of water after each meal. Larger quantities may be used if nec essary as it is absolutely harmless. Be sure to ask your druggist for the bisur ated magnesia as other forms of mag : nesla make effective mouth washes I but they have not the same action on ' the stomach as the bisuratcJ. adv.

PATTERSON & COANE PHILADELPHIA ONCE A LEADING LAWYER. HE DIES IN THE BOWERY Deaths of Brother, Wife and Daughter Broke the Spirit of Andrew Oom stock—Lived Many Years in Cheap Lodgings Now \ork, l*ec. 4.——Andrew Com stock, who -a 1575 was a wellkiiovn patent lawyer in this city and after whoso family the village of Comstock, X. \was named, died Wednesday in a 15-ceut room in the Arlington lodging house, 212 Howerv. There, with very little money and Woken in health, he had beeu living for the lust thirty years. From his closest friend, <Bamuel J. Hurrell, 100 Pierrepout street, Brook lyn, it has been learned that Comstock was the last member of his family, mid that the deaths of all his blood rela tives, which came in quick succession, were the indirect cause of the shatter iiuj of his career and his subsequent life of want. Oomstoek registered in the Bowery lodging house in May, 18S4. and wan assigned by Hubert l.aidlavv, the night clerk, to a room, for which he was to pay tit'teen cents a night. For thirty years he kept that room. Kvery night he paid his rent; every morning ho left the house at fi o'clock. His only confidant was Laidlaw, to whom he oft en talked of art, music and legal mat ters, and with whom he frequently took long walks when the clerk could get awav from his work. Hut in all that time he never m >u tinned his own past, anil Laidlaw, who i'oun>i his friend's body in tho room Wednesday, was ignorant of Coin stock's former life and work up to the day he died. Old legal papers and letters that were found in a shoe box in his room gave the first elue to the police that the dead man might have been at one time a person of importance. But the real story of the dead man's put was not learned until Mr. Burr *ll, wl O WHS once a client of Mr. Comstock and a close friend as well, went to the lodging house Wednesday evening to visit him. The Brooklyn man was gieatlv shocked on learning of Corn stock's death. '•Andrew Comstock came to New Yerk when he was 15 vears old,'' Bur- r«-»l tell a reporter, "and entered the law office of his brother, Albert, <n lower Broadway, across from the City Hall. In 1870 the younger brother became a member of the firm, and for several years lie was recognized as on-. 1 of the foremost lawyers of the city in matters affecting wills and patents. The firm prospered until ISSO, when M'iert died. The shock was a l.acd on* for Andrew and before he fullv recovered frrm it his spirits were shaken a second t me by the sudden death of his wife. "The culminating disaster came, however, when Andrew's daughter, Kva, to whom he was more devoted than any father 1 've ever knowu, became ill and died of consumption in less than a year. After that Andrew's health failed rap idly. % "He was stricken with ataracts in both eyes, and because of his blindness was run over in the street by vehicles several times and badly hurt, llis legal business failed utterly, and then An drew went to the Bowery lodging house. 1 have helped him repeatedly since then, and he has earned a few odd dol lars himself working tn the dental shop of Deist, Hoerber £ Co., 240 East Twenty sixth street."

Mrs. Slingsby was subjected to a se -1 vere cross-examination, during which were brought up statements made by witnesses at the hearing held in San F'ancisco by the California State Board of Health, which le 1 the board to de cide that her son had died and that she had substituted a child belonging to Mrs. Lillian Anderson, of California, Mrs. Slingsby denied all these state ments.

FREEDOM IN FRANCE No Country in tho World Where In dividual Liberty Is Greater I believe that there is no country in the world where there i s greater indi vidual freedom than in France. Every I one apparently does just about as he j pleases. Tho gendarmes are not watch ing for infractions and never seem to interfere with anybody. People tum ble their dogs into the public foun tains and enjoy the parks with a free dom that would not for a moment bo j permitted in New York. Yet no one ] docs anything really harmful. I meu i tioned these things to the American j consul, who said: I "Yes, the French have great individ i ual license and are too proud of it to abuse it. Whatever they lack in po litical freedom they make up in per sonal liberty. That is the chief article jof their faith. The gendarme seldom lays hands on a citizen. Where some thing really serious happens there nro usually serious consequences, but it j does not often happen.' 1 Then he told me of a runaway youth | whom he wished apprehended and heM I for American advices. The authorities said: "We will watch him for you, we | will keep you posted as to his com ings, his goings and his doings, but we I cannot lay hands on him.

The word "tapestry" needs to be de fined. for it may mean anything from figured furniture covering to carpets. Tapestry as the word is here used is a pictured fabric woven by an artisan on a hand loom, in which the design forms the cloth and is not worked upon a basic tissue. The design itself is painted by an artist, and the loom, | either upright or horizontal, has alter ! Ed but little from prehistoric times to | the present. The difference in the j tapestries through the ages lies in the in the design and in the talent of those who translate, the drawings in weaving. The species of stitch al ters not and belongs to all peoples— Asiatic, European, aborigines of North and South America. For those who would be quickly wise in a general classification of old tap estry it may be said loosely that threo great periods of design and weaving dominate the history of the art. First, ! the primitive or Gothic; next, the renaissance, and then that florescence of decorative design which belongs more peculiarly to France in the sev enteenth and eighteenth centuries. As these three great periods of artistic development prevailed all over tho j Christian world in all varieties of art one can, by using this simple key, ar rive almost instantly at the century to which a tapestry belongs.—Scrib ner's Magazine. Pass It Along Few of us have been so exceptional ly unfortunate as not to find, in our own age, some experienced friend who has helped us by precious counsel nev er to be forgotten. We cannot render it in kind; but, perhaps, in the fullness of time it may become our noblest duty to aid another as we ourselves have been aided and to transmit to him an invaluable treasure. —Philip Gilbert | llamerton.
