An old resident of Washington said in n recent conversation: "The fate of Tlieodosia, the beautiful daughter of Aaron Burr, has been one of the ap palling mysteries of sudden disappear ances at sea. "She was married to Governor All ston of South Carolina, a name distin guished In the annals of that state. She sailed from Charleston for New York In the ship Patriot on Dec. 20, 1812, on a visit to her father. The ves sel was supposed to have been either ingulfed or captured by pirates, for it was thought that no soul had survived to determine the awful doubt as to its fate or that of its passengers. One ac count particularly arrested public at tention, and that was the purported confession of a pirate, Domnick You, which Charles Gayarre incorporated into his brilliant, romantic, philosophic 'Ferdinand de Leinos.' It is so graph ically drawn that many persons thought at last the fate of Aaron Burr's only daughter was known. "An old salltft named Benjamin F. Burdick died recently a pauper in a Michigan poorliouse. On his deathbed he made the startling confession that he was one of the piratical crew that captured a vessel named the Patriot and participated in the murder of Tlie odosia Allston at sen. Indeed, he de clared that it fell to his lot to pull the plank from under her. She came forth arrayed in white, holding a Bible in one hand and with heroic mien took her place on the slender instrument of dentil and without a shudder or quiver of a muscle was precipitated into the waves. The noble, unblanched face, erect and airy form, he said, had haunt ed him all his subsequent life. The date of the vessel's loss, January, 18115, was correctly given by Burdick, and the name 'Odessa' Burr Allston was ids only error, and yet this was not an error, for the name of both father and husband are sufficient identification. The corruption of Tlieodosia into 'Odes sa' would be natural to an ignorant sailor and, if anything, tend to prove that he had not been reading up to make himself a sort of deathbed hero. "At any rate, the confession is plau sible for the reason named." AnimnlM Gave Wnriilnflj. Several hours before the recent earth quake took place in Guatemala a French traveler was taking breakfast at the house of a merchant in Quezal tenango when suddenly a curious thing happened. The fountain In the courtyard ceased to flow, and from its two oriflces came ; sharp, intermittent sounds. The birds i in the aviary, which had been singing merrily, became silent, and two dogs and a cat which were in the room be trayed unmistakable signs of terror. Hastily rising from the table, the merchant said. "We must hurry away from here, for the animals plainly warn us that some terrible disaster, most probably an earthquake, is at hand." That very night the city was shaken by an earthquake, and of the mer chant's house only the ruins remained. Strnln of HI1 Speed* The question has been raised wheth er, If it should be practicable to attain to a speed of 100 miles or more an hour by rail, the engineer could stand the strain, says the Philadelphia Record. It has been affirmed by a physician that such fearful going would wear out Ills nerves in a little while. The ques tion has been answered already by one experienced engineer before a meeting of scientists. Asked as to the probable effects ill case of a common accident of a speed of more than sixty miles an hour, ho said: "A smashup at sixty miles an hour would make splinters of everything. At 100 miles the splinters might be finer, but the destruction could not be more complete"—that is to say, when an engineer runs his engine nt sixty miles he Is under as severe a strain as lie would be at any other speed. • A Woman "Cabby." In the New Zealand town of Nelson woman has been asserting her rights In quite a new direction. A local lady recently secured a cab and horse and entered into competition with the Je hus of the town, who nt once took alarm and protested that she had no license. This difficulty was quickly overcome, and the lady "cabby" en tered the lists on equal terms in that respect Now with her smart turnout she is securing all the fares she can find time to drive. The Pen Pnramo.nl. A supremo court justice, a diplomat ist and 11 writer were talking of the extent of the influence wielded by each, anil the New York Times justly credits the last laugh to the writer. "I can govern by injunctions, as the Populists put it," said the judge. "I can involve nations In war," said the embassador. "And I could, If I would, make the world laugh at both of you," said the writer. Chicken or ChickenNf What is the plural of chicken? Why, chickens, of course, you say. A recent book says, however, that there is no such word as chickens. Chicken is it- I self plural. Chick, chicken; hose, liosen —such is the form. A farmer's wife, j at least in the most rural districts, says i correctly that she is going to feed hex I chicken, meaning not one, but many.— 1.0.j.1un .Vi&wers. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE YiiMblonn In FvmHnrf, One man is largely responsible for the requirements of house decoration today. Years ago William Morris be gun it, when by proxy he threw from our mothers' windows the white cotton tidies with which they were wont to decorate their homes and opened the eyes of a few to the fact that elab orate gingerbread decoration and cheap wood brilliuntly varnished were not art. Then began the Introduction of a few good pieces, survivals of an artistic decoration ended so suddenly after Sheraton's day a century before or copies made by the occasional far sighted manufacturer. Yet at best these pieces were rare and URed with out any regard to their surroundings, although through them we learned a little about the furnishings of the dif ferent periods and could talk under standirigly of colonial and Ileppel white and Sheraton and Flemish and mission furniture ami pointed with pride to our various possessions, never realizing that the hopeless medley of our furnishings was only a shade less Inartlßtic than the gaudy varnished pieces that preceded them. Now all is changing. In the first place, the shops no longer ofTer any ex cept pieces definitely copied from some famous worker's designs or else adapt ed and modernized, retaining all the decided characteristics. No longer must you buy a chair or a table because you like it. You must buy it for a certain place In your house, because it is now out of the question to have a Chippen dale chair, mission table, colonial wall paper and a Ileppelwliite bed all in the same room. Your furniture and wall paper and draperies and carpet must all be with definite knowledge of what is what, and fortunate Indeed for most of us it Is that the salesman knows and can tide us over the ditli culty. A Wnilren on Wlioplh. The removal of plates and dishes al ready used and the labor of replacing them with another course means an awkward break in the meal in house holds where there is no one to wait upon the table. It is an extra burden upon a housekeeper, who is glad enough to sit down aft<?r her labor in the kitchen. The appliance shown, reproduced from the American Kitcli /ff y\ & 4i> IF TIIE WAITRESS COMPLETE, en Magazine, is a very convenient la bor saver, combining the convenience of the serving table with the utility of the dinner wagon (a small folding ta ble on casters used largely in restau rants as a temporary receptacle for supplies). The "waitress" in question Is made from a firm box 20 inches long, 17 inches wide and 12 inches deep. Four pieces of smooth 2 by 12 lumber, each fourteen inches long, are required to form the legs. The top of the box, supported by slats, forms one shelf. The board that is to be the base of the serving table must then be taken off and the four corners sawed out to admit the legs. After the holes are sawed out the board must be replaced, the legs set up in the box two or three inches, or high enough to allow the shelf to rest upon them, and the whole fastened together firmly. It is a good plan to nail a board about two inches wide across the front to hold in the numerous dishes which will be placed there later. A railing or boarding is put on three sides of the top, and four casters complete the structure. At meal times the "waitress" stands by the hostess, with dessert or any other additional dish on its shelves. Plates and dishes removed during the meal are placed in it and the extra course put on the table. After the meal all the dishes are placed on the serving ta ble, which is then rolled into the kitch en, saving many unnecessary steps. The Dulty nt Home. It is always a good sign for a baby to sleep a great deal, and delicate and puny infants who sleep much become strong and healthy children. Even ba bies who are large and thriving at birth, unless they get a great deal of sleep, become weak and sickly. A baby should have few toys and these of the simplest kind. The infant with a lot of amusements—always be ing tossed In the air, danced on the knee, having a rattle shaken In its ear or surrounded constantly with all sorts of playthings—lives in a state of un healthy excitement. It grows bored. It wants something new all the time and frets and cries 11' it doesn't get it. The average healthy baby can find its own amusements. It plays with its toes, stretches its legs, bites its fists experi mentally, watches its mother as she walks around the room, and all this is fun, besides being just what baby needs. SHE KNEW JOSH.

Why Diseases Become Chronic, Nerve Force Regarded by Scientists as More Import ant Than the Blood. A $4.00 TREATMENT FREE. The blood was formerly regarded as the life-giving principle and to its con dition was attributed all that there was oT health or illness. Now, physiologists know that nerve force and vitality aro ' the same, and that the constitution, good or bad, depends upon nerve force. Nerve force controls all motion, sen sation, digestion and nutrition. Au abundance of this subtle energy means health and vigor; a lack of It causes general debility, nervous prostration, premature decline, disease and death. Nerve force is chiefly generated in the brain, and therefore in the treatment of ull lingering diseases the condition of the brain centers should be carefully considered and treated. One great cause of diseases becoming chronic is that physicians overlook the fact that deficiency of nervo force is the chief cause of most diseases. Nervous pros tration is due to lack of nerve force. Dr. Miles' Neuropathic Treatments strengthen and invigorate the nerve centers. They are the result of twenty five years' careful study, extensive re search and remarkable success. They build up the system by Increasing nervo force, and have won for Dr. Miles tho thanks of thousands of sufferers. Mrs. A Kronek of Huntiugton, Ind., was cured uft r thirty physicians felled; Mrs. Flora (*motor of Bristolville, O, after twenty-two; Jus. It. Waite, the noted actor, after n score had pronounced hiin incurable; Mrs. Frank Smith of Chicago, after live leading physic ians had given Iter up; Mrs. Julius Koister of Chicago, after ten; Mrs. H. Parker after six teen failed. The treatments are not generally ad vertised, but every chronic sufferer is invited to write for Dr. Miles free book and Examination Chart. $4 00 worth of treatment especially prepared for each case will be sent free as a trial.
