Prices That Ruled In Paris During the Siorjo cf 1370. Tho following Interesting statement of the prices that were paid 112 >r food during the siege of 3 70 is taken ver bally ut of the Journal of a French officer -stationed In Pur! at tho time: •'Toward the mi Idle of October we the lalmals of the zoological i:den. 1 : ;!.r -l'j M.

I leave it to you to im agine what kind of meals were served In the small restaurants and boarding houses. "Moreover, everybody had to submit to the strictest orders. People stood in file before the butcher and baker shops to wait for their turns. Each household tvas famished with a card from the municipality authorizing the bearer to buy a certain amount of meat and bread. The cook, the housewife, the young girl, the little child (men never go shopping In France), were posted for hours before the shops in rain and snow, with wet feet, shivering with cold. The unfortunate ones endured without a murmur these hardships. Women throughout the time of the siege were setting an example of cour age and self abnegation not always fol lowed by men. t "It was a sad and touching spectacle, these long tiles of women, nearly all dressed in black, grouped before the doors of the dealers, watched by the national guard, with whom they at first were laughing and chatting, till the Bufferings from the cold had silenced the latiw'i and sometimes brought forth the tears. "But in spite of all precautious the stores one by one were exhausted, the provisions, putin too late before the siege, were used up, and, while the ba bies, deprived of milk, died in great numbers or, fed on sweet wine and bread, pined slowly away, the big peo ple tried to find new resources to pro long their lives." The Meaning of "Muff." The record of the fact that mulTs were once worn by more men than wo men In Paris suggests the old ingenious definition of a muff as "a soft tiling that holds fl lady's hand without squeez ing it. ' "Muff"' appears to have come to Ui from German, in which language, curiously, "muff" means not only a hand comforter, but also a sulky per son or a growling dog. These seem, however, to be two different words. Was our own metaphorical "muff" an allusion to the effeminacy of mult ; wearers n r simply an intimation that the person was distinctly "soft'/" In the Philadelphia directory for 1785 is the following entry: "Dorleans Messrs., Merchants, near 100 South Fourth Street" These were Louis j Philippe, afterward king of France, and two of his brothers, who lived at ] the northwest corner of Fourth and 1 Princes streets.

The improvement is a very import ant one. the frack being raised eight or nine inches along the entire dist ance. Incidentally all the old ties are being removed and uew ones iuseited. The object of raising the track is to elevate the cross ties farther above the level of the natural ground, where they will be affected less by wet aud damp ness.

Louis Gill, champion egg eater of Montgomery, Mo., says be can beat tho record of Frank Ryan of Whiteside, Mo., who is reported as having eaten as many as thirty-five eggs at one sitting. To prove his assertion Gill has offer ed to put up SSO that he can forty-two eggs in a contest for tho" championship and SSO. Gill's highest record is thirty-six ?ggs, but he is inspired by the contest that U' now ou to greater things. Therefore he challenges the world that he can swallow forty-two Missouri eggs and digest them or forfeit SSO. Gill formerly conducted a restaurant at lola, Kan., where he began his ca reer as an egg eater; also a possum consumer. He and his partner, J. E. Q'Donnell, got a fine possum and cook ed it in a delicious style. O'Donnell was called away from the restaurant on business.

No medical man needs to be told that even disease has its freaks aud that re covery has occasionally been brought about by means inexplicably trivial One of the most remarkable of these unaccountable eccentricities of disease took place at Ilalver, in Westphalia. The case was that of a boy who, as the result of a very heavy fall backward on his "head while skating, had for a year and a half been deaf and dumb. Ono morning his brother went to awake him and, finding him sleeping heavily, tapped him lightly on the fore head. To his amazement the deaf and dumb boy awoke with a loud cry.

The program will inclnde all the sports and amusements known. Prin cipal among these will be the contests in which the patients will largely participate. The matter of prizes lias not been omitted. Forty silk flags have been purchased by the hospital and these will be awarded to the success ful contestants in the various field sports. Neither have refreshments been over looked.

"Ah, yes," answered one of the mas ters. "Your progress is admirable." Tlie fat man beamed with complai sance and went Jn to dress. I called the swimming masters aside.

According to tradition, if you have a mole on your chin you may expect to be wealthy, while if you have it un der your arm It promises you wealth and honor as well. A mole on the ankle indicates courage. On the left temple a mole indicates that you will find friends among the great ones of tho earth, but if it be placed ou the right temple it warns you of coming distress. A mole on a man's knee means that he may expect to marry a rich woman. A mole on the neck promises wealth. If you havo a mole on your nose you are going to be a great traveler. A mole on the throat Indicates health and wealth. One Advantage. Little Willie—Say, pa, what is the difference between genius and insan ity?

B. Eut, no trace of liis « hereabouts can be found. While Miss Lizzie Eut, daughter of the sheriff and Mrs. Eut, the wife of the sheriff, were allowing a woman to pass out of the door leading into the jail, McCarty shoved them aside, and rushed out of the corridor and made his escape running up Iron street and then down the D.

Sheriff Ent was not at home at the time the prisoner escaped,but was im mediately summoned, and a thorough search was made along the railroad tracks but the man could not be locat ed. The escape was evidently a well planned one for McCarty just prior to his making the dash for freedom had stolen a gold watch from a fellow prisoner. As he ran up Iron street, several parties saw him, but they, thinking it was a man chasing someone, made no effort to stop him. Thinking that McCarty would go back to Berwick, Sheriff Ent weut to that place, and made arrangements for his capture in case he should go there.

CURE FOR DIVORCE. How Bishop Fallows Would Unite Es tranged Wives and Husbands. Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Re j formed Episcopal church, who founded j Christian psychology, has tair_>u anoth er plunge Into the occult, says a Chi cago dispatch. He announces a reme- j dy to unite estranged husbands and wives and kill off the divorce evils. It is to be done by suggestion and auto- \ suggestion. He told all about it in an address on the psychology of doubt. The bishop declared he had used the 1 method successfully. He also s.u l that when a man or woman desires'ro win j back his or her mate the mind must be j kept in a receptive condition. The j bishop continues: "One cannot believe unless he puts himself in the position to believe; one | ! .'uunot love unless one puts himself in ' I die position to love; one cannot con- ! | tlnue to love unless one wills to con- I I tinue to love. Of course we cannot i | will to love an 1 then love or will to by auto-av.r gestlon a will in this sub- I j "The first thing to do wheu one of j that he or she has ceased to love is to set the will i:i operation i > bring to ' the subconsciousness a consciousness ol ! the past. It is idle to say, 'You must love one another.' No amount of will ran bring that about, but the will can summon recollection. "I say to the troubled one if a wo man: /cjo back over your whole life. Od itru-!; . ;it retlevt 0(1, th>: -ti.;.c that : you were being wooed anve is blind, j but this is to be taken in a limited sense as blind to faults. Nothing in ] the whole world Is more keen sighted to see good qualities. I'ou are blind tc the good in taking a magnifying glass to the faults. Go back into the past aiul think of the way you sacrificed and toiled to make the home. Recall the good times you have had together.' "In this way is created by auto-sug gestion the will to continue in love, which may prove more powerful than ] the false belief that they cannot love, j This same method can bring about mar j riage." i Bishop Fallows concluded with these ! epigrams: | "Love once and you must love al ! ways. Love cannot be killed once it is j Instilled. There is no eaithly power I that can make two people fall in love | with each other. If two people really love each other once, that love can al | ways be revived. Deep in their hearts j they will always love one another. Di- I vorces are but the climaxes of half { hearted battles."

By studying I the general reports it will be-seen that many deaths result indirectly from whooping cough. Dr. Shultz says it is somewhat remarkable that whooping | cough shouldjgain a foothold at this ! season of the year. Epidemics of the disease generally occur during cold weather.
