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.
No Tip for Him
Tipping is at least an ancient custom.
In the eighteenth century an Italian
visitor to England remarked that "it
is polite to dine with the nobility,
where you pay the servants for ten
times as much as you eat." And an
Irish peer replied to the Duke of Or
monde's invitation to dine: "If your
grace will give me a guinea to pay
your servants, I will. I jm too poor. |
else!" An American actor who once
took an English house for the summer
ha t a schedule of the tips his servants
expected printed for the guidance of i
his American friemls and put them on
the bedroom mantlepieces. He had
taken a particular dislike to a very-
British side whiskered_ batler he had
taken over with the bouse, and the
list, after enumerating the sums to be'
' paid to the chauffeur, the housemaid,
and so on, finished with. "The guy

IVmpsey, appointed electrician at the t

Smoke Consuming Schemes
The most ingenious scheme ever in- j
vented for doing away with the smoke
1 difficulty with «teatn locomotives w;i<
! tried some years azo on the Metropol-i
' itan railway of Englan 1. "Between
'• the rails a trough wa< lai I. and the en
gine carried a sliding shoe device
' adapted to slide over this and to open
' doors as it passed whereby smoke let
• from the stack to the shoe was enabled
i to pas* into the trough, thence being
exhausted to a collecting plant.'" An
other scheme for solving the smoke dif
■ ficulty was to construct a series of
1 smokestack* leadins to the back of the
i train. This would have kept the cin
ders ont of the passengers' eyes possi
' bly. but would hardly have been sufli
i 1 cient to make the smoke settle on the l

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.

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."
Mr. Burrell told the police he woiili
make arrangements for the burial of
hi.- old friend's body.

DENIES CHILD IS Sl BSTITI E
Mrs. Slingsby Swears in British Court
Claimant for Estate Is Son
London, Dec. 4. —Mrs. Dorothy
Slingsby, wife of Lieutenant Charles R.
Slingsby, of San Francisco, denied in
the Probate Court yesterday the alle
gations that her son, heir to the Slings
by estate in Yorkshire, had died and
that she had substituted for him an
other infant.
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. She admitted that she had ar
ranged for the insertion of an adver
tisement in a San Francisco newspaper
concerning the adoption'of a child, but
I said that she had done so merely to
gratify a whim.
She denied that Dr. W. W. Frazer,
of San Francisco, had telephoned to
her that he might be ab! e to procure a
child for her or that she had appliel
to the Associated Charities of San Fran
cisco for an infant. She said she hai
not accepted from any person any chil 1
for adoption, and swore that the present
claimant was her own child.
Upon the decision of the Court de
pends the disposition of au estate val
ued at $500,000, which by a special
provision of the will of the Bev.
Charles iilingsby was to go to the heir
of Lieutenant Slingsby, in addition to
the property inherited by the lieuten
ant.

eases of children. Two pages are do

icans appealing to women to patronise
American industries.
Tho Dtvem'ber uumiber of "Pictorial

from cover to cover. Under Art ami

editorial "What We (Have to Me Thank

those of us in America who are inclined
to exaggerate the effect of the war in
Europe on our industries and general!
prosperity. Under fiction is given tho
third instalment of Maximilian Fos
ter's novel, "The ForgoOten House,"
illustrated by Arthur 1. Keller, which
has met with great favor, ami the elev
enth "Oetavius" atory.
The November nunVber of "Tho
North American Review" preserves the
well-founded traditions of timeliness
and authority attached to this periodi
cal. The editor presents the views of
IV opposition under the title, "The
Case Against Wilson," and riddles their
arguments. Other topics, such as "Our
Peace and Europe's War," "Dun
donald's Destroyer," and "Nature
Solving a Race Problem,'' wthkih he
discusses in the Editorial Department,
will further claim attention and inter
est. The English publicist, Sydney
Brooks, considers what the underlying
elements are that will eventually create
"A New Europe, and William Lyon
Phelps makes a plea for Christianity
among nations under the caption
• • War.''
The article on "American Business
in Asia," contribute i to "Tho Youth's
Companion," by John Foord, secretary |
of the American-Asiatic Society, is par-*j
ticularly timely. The writer shows that
a hundred years ago the United States
had a good share of the China trade,
and ke; t it during the first half of the
nineteenth century. To-day only one or
two of our products arc known ami
bought throughout Asia; yet, says Mr.
Foord, we are better prepared than ever '
before iu our history to take jdvan- j
tage of the opportunities of this great !
undeveloped market.
The November issue of "The Conn- j
tryside Magazine and Suburban Life,"
which now has Dr. L. 11. Bailey, for ten
years director of the Agricultural Col- 1
lege at <"0mell, as contributing editor, j
certainly smacks of the open country
and at the same time doesn't neglect
the sterling features that made "Su
burban Life" so welcome a visitor fori
ten years. P*-of. Bailey writes edi
torially of ' • The Exception and the
Rule." calling attention to the cou- !
tribution to real progress made bv men j
and women who are doing their work !
effectively and quietly.
A number of nota'ble articles appear i
in the "Wide World Magazine" for

Samose, the remarkable flesh forming

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. There is no
warrant for so serious a step."—Albert
Bigelow Paine in Century.
OLD TAPESTRY
How the Product of Different Eras
May Be Distinguished .
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.
