Remarkable Strength. ‘ _It is astonishing what a large num- ber of Kings and other rulers have been famous for their ' physical strength. The late Czar of Russia and the late German Emperor were both remarkable for their strength of body; the latter, in fact, thought sufficiently well of his powers to oppose himself to Sand-ow, who wrestled with and de- feated the monarch with difficulty. Maurice, Count of Saxony. was noted for his feats of strength. It needsno small amount of strength in the fing- ers to enable one to twist a long, thick nail into a spiral;- this Maurice did, ‘and afterwards used it as a cork- screw to open bottles of wine at luncheon. It is related-of Dom Pedro 1., Em- peror of Brazil, that while out sailing in a small boat he suddenly seized hold of the two magnificently dressed Chamberlains who accompanied him, lifted them out of the boat, one on each side, and ducked them in the sea. This was not done out of malice, but because it was Carnival time, and prac- tical joking was the order of the day. Scanderberg, King of Albania, was a giant in strength. From an early age he was in’ the habit of competing in feats of strength and skill with the Turkish nobles, and was almost always victorious. He once, in a fit of rage, cut in two with one stroke of his sword two enemies, who were brought to him bound together. The same powerful sword-arm could cut in twain a man in complete a.rmor.—-Tid-Bits. :1 A Tough Stomach. Melancholia on account of the loss of two children has developed an ab- normal appetite in an Odessa woman 32 years of age, whose case is reported in the Deutche Medicinische Wochen— schrift. She first tried to commit sui- cide by drinking petroleum and a so- lution of carbolic acid. She then took to swallowing metallic objects, begin- ning with needles, nails, hairpins, but- tons, and steel pens, and winding up with forks and teaspoons. The doc- tor, who took thirty-seven pieces of hardware out of her stomach, asked her how she got them down. She an- swered: “Oh, it is easy with the hau- dle first.”—-.\‘ew York Sun. The “'orltl‘s Gold Supply. There is no danger of an exhaustion of the gold fields of the earth. The world‘s yearly production of gold is psw about $210,000,000, double the ag- gregate produced seven years ago and greater than that produced in any oth- er year in the world‘s history. Prior to the present year's vast output of gold, the greatest product was in the year 1853, when the river gravels of California and Australia were yin‘dittr their richest stores of the yellow metal.——l\‘ew York World. for - Three Years He Suffered — Could Hardly Breathe at Night~0ne Nostril Closed for Ten Years.

Several Smart Raps are Dealt the Men During a-Discussion in ‘Vlllcll Quota- tions from the Bible and Shakespeare Get Very lllucli Mixed. Biblical quotations, bicycles, saddles, short skirts, experiences of married life, Delsarte movements-and horrible men were the subjects discuSs'ed simul- taneously and in a potpourri of argu- ment at the last meeting of the Health Culture Club, at 53 Orange Street. Brooklyn, the residence of Dr. 0. I“. McCun‘e. a , About forty women were present when Mrs. Lumsten, President of the club, opened the meeting with an ad- dress on dress reform. By way of prelude she quoted the verse, St. John iii.. 2: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayst prosper and be in health” “A serious mistake." said Mrs. Lumf sten, “ is made by those who adopt the reform in length of dress even in the fullest extent, but make no reform in other respects. Do you advocate the short dress, bloomer, or American cos- tume? “We advocate no particular style of dress. We simply state the principles which should be regarded in clothing the body from a medical standpoint. leaving each to decide for herself. Of all women of the earth, we of this na— tion suffer most from the cruel tryan- nies of dress. None needs a serviceable costume so much as we, and none has one so bad. “The young lady who may tower perhaps head and shoulders above her senior does not shock the supersensi- tive world by the shortness of. her gown and the exposure of her feet and ankles. But let her grow in years, though not in stature, and she becomes a monster in the eyes of the public if she insists upon retaining the freedom - of movement her short dress formerly permitted There really seems to be no prescribed limit to the height to which skirts may be lifted in walking, if only the wearer is hung around with clogged folds, from which she can never free her hands. Holding on to the draperies as if for dear life, she may raise them to her knees and her style of clothing is tolerated with compla- cency. But let it be known or seen that the dress is hung so as never. to come below the tops of the boots, and the limbs properly clad wth leggins, and fears are harbored for the appear- ance and morals of the woman. In- stead of such an attire being ugly, it can be made tasteful and becoming.” The speech was received with genu- ine applause, but a young lady sitting in a corner asked her mother, who was the last one to Stop clapping her hands: “Well, mother, why don't all these women wear short skirts? The rule of the club is that they are to wear them three inches from the ground in fair weather, and six inches in wet. and look, there's only one woman here who is wearing a short skirt.” The mother would not reply, but merely looked at the one short-skirted woman will) a pitiful smile. A pale~looking little woman in a re- mote corner here ventured the remark that. public opinion was against any radical reform in woman‘s dress, and the men did not. like it, either. Mrs. lnunsten heartily indorsed this state- ment. “Yes,” said she. “Just think. ladies; I went out one fine day with my rainy-day skirt on, and a lot of her- rible men laughed at me and ridiculed me so that. I had to fly back in a hurry. No more short skirts for me on fine fdiiys." The woman with the shortskirt rose to her feet in an instant. “Ladies." said she, “this is all bosh. There are two commandments in the Bible, one is “Honor thy father and thy mother." and the other is “Par- ents, provoke not your children to wrath.” The latter may be from Shakespeare, but that doesn‘t make any difference. Now, I want to tell you that much of the disrespect shown us by men is due to the fact that we haven't sufficient self-respect. If we assert ourselves and insist upon our rights we will get them. “ie can wear any kind of clothes we want to wear, and if it does us good what do we care for the men?" “Yes. indeed." chimed in Dr. Mc- Cuue, an old lady of over sixty, “men have it their own way too much, any- ‘liow. They don't know any more than we do, and :‘till they think they can rule us with a rod of iron. It is about time this thing should stop.” Mrs. Cockrnn. the expert on parlia mentar * law. saw an opportunity here for a talk on married life and she took advantage of it. “I have a husband,” she remarked. “who is the best man in the world, the prince of his fellows,'and all my life I have had my own sweet will when it. did not interfere with his._ The ridicule of the press is what hurt us!” (:cncrz'il laughter followed, indulged in by all except one old lady who get up and announced that while she was a woman suffragist and an admirer of Susan B. Anthony she could also tell something of married life. Some of the women present showed signs of. weariness, the younger ones especially making signs of distress, but the mar- ried-life experience question was fair- ly launched and no one dared stop it. The toast of the accomplished Judge Story, at a dinner in honor of Mr. Everett’s appointment as ambassador to the Court of St. James, was very graceful.- “Genius—sure to be wel- comed where Everett goes!" The neat response to this was-—“Law. equity. and jurisprudence—no efforts can raisi- Ihein above one Story!" Need Not fear to Eat Grape Seeds. .There is a popular and false notion that appendicitis-is caused by a grape seed, an orange seed or some other for— eign substance getting into the vermi- form appendix. The true cause is the setting up of inflammation and co-n- . sequent gangrene in the tissue Of the appendix, usually due to insufficient circulation of blood in the part -itself.. In thousands of operations which have taken place—many in time to save the life of the patient, and many too late—there is not one authenticated case of a foreign subsrauce. such as a seed, being found in the. appendix. This will be more fully realized when one has in mind that the interior of the 'ap- pendix is only big enough to admit a medium-sized darning' needle.
