IS SERIOUS ~ Condition of Man Who Killed Geneva Girl Grows Worse. If the fears of his physicians are realized, Osoar Saeger, who shot Mrs. Mane Roach, the Geneva girl, two weeks ago in Cincinnati and then sent a bullet into his own brain will escape human justice. Wihin the last 48 hours his temperature has been going up rapidly, and yesterday, suspecting that the 1 leaden missile which he fired into his right temple had injured his brain, the City Hospital made a trephine. Then only was it , apparent that the bullet had created greater havoc than was at first 1 supposed. Instead of merely passing between the frontal lobe and

the brain it was found that the left lobe had been touched and the pains ascribed to an abscess in the 1 frontal sinus were readilly due to this injury. The next few days , will decide whether Saeger will live , and even then it is questionable whether the injury will not unlialance his mind. Magley. Miss Katie Peck went to Ft. Wayne Thursday.

~ WILLING TO HELP. An Old Seaman’* Scheme to Wti Honor For a Favorite. An amusing story is told of an old seaman on one of the United States cruisers in the north Atlantic squadron. He was not a person of wide affections. but he had a warm place in his heart for a young ensign who had been kind to him in many little ways. One day a landsman fell from the rigging to the water, and as he could not swim he would have been drowned but for a young officer who sprang in after him and held him up till assistance came. Later the young officer received a complimentary letter from the secretary of the navy. Every one rejoiced but the old seaman; he coveted the letter for his ensign. “That’s a nice thing to have, a letter like that,” he said a few days later. "You ought to have one.” "I don’t quite see how I can get one,” laughed the ensign.

"Well, see here,” said the old man eagerly. "Tomorrow night I’ll be in the main chains, fussing with something or other, and I might fall in, and you could jump after me.” “That would be very good of you,” said the ensign gravely, “but, you see. I’m not a good swimmer by any means.” “Ho. that’s no matter!” said the old seaman. “I’ll hold you up till the boat comes.” CRACKED VOICES. A Lack of Muscular Control la What Cause* the Break. The pitch of the human voice depends primarily upon the number of vibrations per second of the vocal cords, and these, in their turn, depend on the length, size and degree of tension of the cords, which Increase in length with the growth of the larynx. One of ths deepest bass notes, from the greater length of the cords, has only eighty double vibrations a second, while a soprano voice ean give 992 such vibrations in the same time. The size of a lad’s larynx is, roughly, that of a woman's, but when the piping schoolboy is shooting up into manhood his larynx grows rapidly and the vocal eords become elongated nearly in the proportion of three and a half to two. The cartilages by which their tension is regulated also share in this growth, as is seen by the swelling of the so called “Adam’s apple.” Now, all these parts do not increase with equal rapidity; hence the muscular control, which must be very axact, is rendered uncertain and the voice is said to “break.'’ A similar change takes place in the case of women, but very much lees in amount, and a further compensation in the formation es the upper part of the larynx serves to iiogaios the effect COLUMBUB’ CREWS. • m EVfllikati ea<i Sne trUkaaa Were Their ItabM.

The Coeoaaat True. There ia no tree so widely distributed throughout the tropica as the cocoanut Even on remote atolls as the south seas, which geologists say were only recently formed by the subsidence of a volcano and the growth of coral up from its base, one finds the coeoanut The parent tree leaning over the beach of one tropical Island drops its fruit into the sea, to have the nut carried away perchance halfway round the world. Then in some faraway place the waves cast the cocoanut ashore to sprout and propagate another forest after its own kind. The Apple. The apple is not considered to be a complete food in itself, but on the food list it has a value far above the nutriment it possesses Apples aid the stomach in the digestion of other foods, and therefore the beat results are obtained from eating them after rather than before meals. After partaking of an unusually heavy dinner the eating of an apple will be found to facilitate an early digestion and afford great relief from the sufferings attendant upon indigestion. To® Much Realism. “Do you not feel at times” remarked the fireside critic, "that realism can be carried too far on the stage?” “Yes,” replied the tragic actor, with a sigh. "The last man I was working for did It. He wanted to pay us all off In stage money.”—Cincinnati TimesStar. Coming and nolng. “Hello. Mike! Do you find much to do now?" “Yls. I’m jest after cuttln’ down a tree, and tomorrow I’ll have to cut it up.”- Kansas City World.
