THiU OBTURATE AMERICA CLAIMS HAVE STARTED A BEAUTY WAR. woman to m'

IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH HER THERE AND HER REMOVAL WAS MADE NECESSARY.

Mrs. Oderkirk, thi young woman became violent two days before ;Lo birth of a still born child last Tuesday, was removed Sunday to the Home for the Friendless where she could be better watched and cared for than in her own home, 81 John street. Sunday noon the police were notified that Mrs. Oderkirk had again escaped from her home and was running about the neighborhood scantily attired. Two officers were sent to assist in capturing her. Before they ar rived the woman wa3 caught and taken back to her home. A few minutes later she escaped again from the house and In her bare feet ran across a corn field screaming pitifully for her dead child. She was caught Just about the time the two policemen arrived at the homa. Friday Mrs. Oderkirk escaped from her home and ran about the neighborhood In her night clothing. Since that time Mr. Oderkirk has watched her closely but Sunday she succeeded in escaping his vigilance. When the ambulance was sent to the Oderkirk home Sunday to remove Mrs. Oderkirk to the Home for the Friendless, She was led out of tho house with but little clothing on and wearing a pair of men's shoes. "As she was lifted in- - to the ambulance the woman pulled 'these shoes off and threw them away. Objected to Entering. On arriving at the Home for the lYiendless, Mrs. Oderkirk objected to .entering the institution and it was necessary to force her in. Frank Hemmert, the ambulance driver, states that the matron at the Home for the Friendless asked him how long xhey would be expected to care for ilrs. Oderkirk. He told her that he flld not know. Remmert states that the matron then said that they could mot allow Mrs. Oderkirk to remain there long. So many Insane people of late have been confined in the various count? institutions that the officers in charge "of these Institutions are almost In a -state of rebellion against admitting any more Insane peopre. David Line, an insane person at Iteld Memorial hospital, has made that institution almost untenantable by his constant yelling. An effort 'was made to have htm placed in the county jail but Sheriff Meredith objected. He stated that Line is 111 and consequently could not be violent and Uangerous and that the law provides that insane people could not be admitted to a county jail unless tiiey were violent and a menance to their families and the community.

Ein!md, Frams and other continental countries have taken up the challenge that America produces the most beautiful women in the world, and a veritable international beauty contest has been the result. Miss Marguerite Frey, whose picture here appears, is a stenographer of Den HEATED ABOUT RELATIONS WITH THE HICKSITES (Continued From Vage One.) is to the interest of both to do so, and they should sleze every opportunity. It Is hard to preach the doctrine of fellowship and forgiveness if people hold a grudge. Bitterness should not prevent the churches from getting to gether for the things of the Lord. Prof. Russell, like all of the others speaking before the meeting in favor of the appointment of delegates to the Hicksite conference, maintained that the orthodox Friends did not compromise their attitude by this appointment, whi;u in the main meant extending a courtesy. Prof. Russell's remarks were received with great favor generally. Hand of Fellowship. Rev. Allen Jay and others argued that the orthodox Friends should extend a hand of goodfellowship to the Hicksites, and decried the fact that old sores had to be reopened today. The printing of the history of the Hicksite session years ago as done some time ago by an orthodox Friend paper, was said to have been a poor policy. The meetings held in past years where the orthodox and Hicksite Friends have joined in the consideration of great questions, were brought forward to fur ther prove that the orthodox Friends were not in the least lowering their own beliefs by such conferences, in fact, were benefited, as many ideas were obtained which further aided carrying on the wqrk of reform known to Quakers generally. Through the eloquent arguments of Prof. Russell, Timothy Nicholson and others a vote was taken on the proposition as to whether a committee should be appointed to name delegates, and it carried. A goodly number of the older members of the Indiana year ly meeting voted with the minority against the appointment of delegates. The Rev. Luke Woodard, following the vote, maintained that out of the respect for the judgment of the minori ty the whole proposition should be laid on the table, but this was not acceded to by the majority, it maintaining that those opposed to the appointment of the delegates should freely fall in line, Smoke Consumers.

DISCUSSED JIILD LABOR Ministerial Association Has a Live Subject. At the meeting of the Ministerial Association at St. Paul's parish house the subject of "Child Labor" was discussed by the Rev. R. J. Wade, and all present made short comments on the subject. It was agreed that the trouble is not in the matter of child! labor itself, but in the abuse of it. Reports were heard from committees. The Rev. C. Huber, of the good citi zenship committee, reported that the Indiana Anti-Saloon league is in need of money. LIGHTNING FLASHES. Peculiar Effects Where Instant Death Follows Their Strokes. A peculiar feature about lightning, when it strikes to kill, is the incredibly short time la which the body decomposes. In many notable Instances where persons were killed by light ning the funeral has been conducted with all the haste possible, owing to the rapid disorganization of the body Whether it be animal or human, the same effect is always noticeable. In most cases on record where persons have been struck by lightning and instantly killed their features show no visible pain, and death is so instan taneous that there is not the slightest change In the muscles, and in many cases the blood is entirely deorganized and becomes an adhesive black liquid, which in a few seconds has taken on a putrid odor. . In one case some reapers were eat ing their dinner under an oak tree during a thunderstorm, and all were struck by lightning, the explosion of which was heard far away. When later some people passed the tree the reapers were in the act of eating dinner to all appearances. One held a glass in his hand, another was putting a piece of bread in his mouth, while a third had his hand in a dish Death had come upon them when the thunderbolt fell while they were in these positions. One might have tak en them for statues carved out of black marble, for their bodies perfectly black. were Another case was where a man had Taken refuge under a tree and was eating a lunch. lie had a small dog in his lap and was caressing him with one hand while he offered him a piece or bread with the other. Both the man and dog were petrifled while In this position, and the paralyzed hand still held the piece of bread, while the expression on the animal's face seemed to say, "Give me some more, please give me some more." in one case wnere a woman was struck by lightning the bones and all were melted In a gelatinous mass, and her frame had so fluidified that they were unable to discern the outlines of her limbs. Several Instances have occurred where persons strueLy lightning have, upon being touched, immediately fallen to cinders, the whole interior of the body being burned out so that only the skin remained. In many other cases the decompos ing gases so extend the abdomen as to cause the body to explode within a very few minutes after life has passed out, and the body resembles that of a person dead for weeks. It 13 indeed terrifying to see a person rease moving who just a second before was in the full enjoyment of life, and what is a still greater mystery is to see them staud in apparent life and action, but to find them to be a petrified, inert piece of decomposing matter. There Is one peculiar case, where a man was driving along a country road dcring a thunderstorm. He saw a woman start to cross the road a little ahead of the horse. The woman walked to the middle of the road and stopped. In vain the driver called to her to pet out of the way, and at last, becoming angry, he gave her a cut with the whip as he passed, when to his astonishment she fell to the ground in a char of cinders. She had been struck by lightning and her entire body consumed, while her clothing remained intact. Denver Post Gilbert Black.

The camellia received Its name from a missionary named KaEel, who carried specimens of this Cower from Japan to France. The magnolia was named in honor of Magno 1 de Montpelier. Other flower names tire descriptive. Lady's slipper resem bles a tiny slipper. The blossoms of lady's tresses are twisted like a braid of hair. The flowers of the foxglove are like the finders of a glove. The name foxglove is said to be a corrup tion of "folk's glove" or"fairy'8 glove. Aster menu ? star and received Its name from tho starlike rays of this flower. Daisy Is really "day's eye." Dandelion means lion's tooth. Do you think the name is appropriate for this notched, rather jagged flower? Anemone means "wind flower." The anemone is so delicately poised that it trembles in the slightest breeze, Dutchman's breeches resemble nothing so much as a baggy pair of trousers. Morning glories bloom only in the morning and four o'clocks not until that hour In the afternoon. St. Louis Republic. HOISTING DEVICES. Machinery That Was Used In Building the Pyramids. Hoisting machines were used in both Assyria and Egypt 6,000 or more years ago. In order to hoist the great stones of the pyramids some form of derrick was employed. Frobably the first construction was that which is now known to mechanics as the shear legs. This is made of two great timbers tied together in the form of a capital A, the two ends resting on the ground and a rope being run over and attached at the top. With one of these the pryamid builders could have raised large stones step by step, which was doubtless their method. We can imagine we see the great A frame leaning over an Incline of perhaps fifty degrees with a block of stone tied on. Then a great crowd of men get hold of the rope on the opposite side, perhaps assisted by some draft oxen, and all strain and pull until the A frame stands erect and the stone is swung up into the air, where it can be pushed into the desired place. Such a contrivance could be used to lift stones six or eight feet, which was sufficient for the construction of the first pyramid. Doubtless better hoisting devices were constructed as more pyramids were built. Circle Magazine. The Dangerous Age. If a man is going to commit a crime during his lifetime the chances are that he will do it at the age of twentynine. It is a curious fact that statistics have shown that man is more dan gerous at this period of his life than at any other. The majority of criml nals in the state of New York have for some time been of this age. The general supposition is that men have attained the hghest development of their mental and physical powers at twenty nine, and they are supposed to be able to distinguish between right and wrong and to realize the consequences liable to follow the indulgence of ei ther. Next to the age of twenty-nine the greatest number of criminals have been twenty-one, twenty-seven or for ty-five years of age. The intervening years, in which men do not commit as many crimes, have not been explain ed by expert criminologists who have made investigations proving" the above statements to be true and who are still working on a solution of the problem. New York Herald. She Didn't Accept. A little episode once greatly delight ed Calve, the famous prima donna.

When she stopped he seriously remarked, "If you asked the proprietor whether you might 6lng in here while the people are being shown over I think he would pay you well." "How much do you think he would give me?" asked the prima donna, entering thoroughly Into the spirit of the adventure. After thinking care fully the boy replied, "About 5 francs a day." Cats and Fish. 'A sea captain tells of his sailing In southern seas where flying fish abound. They would sometimes In their flight In the night come aboard the ship and drop on the deck. He had three cats that, though they were lying asleep be low, would hear the sound whenever a fish struck the deck and would rush up to get it. They distinguish this from all other sounds. The crew tried to Imitate it In various ways, but could not deceive the cats. Insulted Him. Ferry "What was the matter with Johnson last night that he should get Insulted when I asked him to drink?

41 AN ODD JOURNEY. Moving a 250 Ton Lightship Across Hills and Woodland. What was probably the most re markable journey ever undertaken by a ship in this country was that of a vessel overland, in which she went through extensive forests, climbed steep hills and moved along highways. The craft was one of the largest lightships in the government service and was stationed off one of the smaller harbors on the coast of Oregon. At this point a bay makes an indentation into the land so that a peninsula of considerable length is formed. In a gale the lightship dragged her anchors, finally broke from her moorings and was thrown up on the shore so far that it was found impossible to float her again at this point. The accident occurred on one side of the peninsula referred to, which is partly formed by the waters of Baker's bay. After planning how to save the vessel it was decided by the lightship crew that the only way to again place her in her native element was to haul the ship, if possible, along the peninsula to another beach where the water Is so deep that it would float the craft within a few feet from shore. The route lay through a rough country. Including several hills as well as woodland. The lightship weighed more than 250 tons and was more than 150 feet in length, so that apparatus of considerable power had to be utilized to lift her upon the rollers along which she was to be moved. The only power employed was that of men and horses. The horses vere attached to a windlass and wltkits help managed to lift the vessel upon the big rollers which were placed under her keel. Then the journey over the peninsula began, the windlass being used to aid the animals In pulling. In advance went a squad of men who cut away the underbrush and small trees, filled up holes and thus formed a sort of roadway over which the lightship journeyed. Such was the difficulty of the task, however, that several weeks elapsed before the ieninsula was crossed, in that time the vessel having traveled more than a mile. Reaching the end of the journey, the next question was how to launch her. This was finally accomplished by building ways of tim ber reaching from the shore into deep water. The craft was dragged upon the ways by means of the windlass, then cables were extended from her to a large tree on a point of land near the ways, and the ship was pulled into tne water.

All others have an excess or a lack of something that the system needs; hence mixed foods are desirable. Scientists have calculated that the following is a reasoaable mixture: Lean meat fifty parts, milk seventy, bread sixty, potatoes thirty, butter six. and water three quarts daily. The amount of water seems large, but as a matter of fact tlfe average person takes three pints of water with what he regards ns solId food.

By protein are meant the nitrogenous portions, the albumen of the eggs, the curd of the milk, the lean part of the meat and the gluten of flour and cereals. A little less than one-fifth of the average meat Is protein, available for building muscle. Gluten Is a chemical composition of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. To appreciate what It is as a substance for eating, take a few kernels of raw wheat and chew them up finely. The starch will dissolve away almost imperceptibly, and there will remain in the mouth a gummy substance that can be chewed almost indefinitely like a bit of chewing gum. This is the gluten or muscle building part of the flour. Fat is an important article of diet Frobably butter is the best form, but any healthy animal fat Is satisfactory. It gives energy to the eater, but may be used in quantity only by one who takes much exercise. Charles n. Cochrane In Metropolitan Magazine. Bacteria In Milk.
