She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Emma Gregory and Mrs. Philena Guild, both of this city. Funeral services over the remains of Charles L. Kaylor, who died at his home north of Eaton, were held Sunday afternoon in the First Christian church, conducted by the Rev. Hugh .A Smith, pastor af the First Christian church, Dayton, and the Rev.

In the wild deserts Arab life Is as primitive ns in Abraham's time. Sheep are still slain to seal a vow. The salt or bread covenant is observed, and when a man dies his tent is torn down n ml destroyed. Old names such as Joseph, Moses nd Alexander are still in common use snuong Arabs, though pronounced "Yusuf," "Musa" and "Skandar." To divorce his wife a man may repeat the formula Ent telek three times. Usually saying it once makes the woman behave, and its repetition is uot necessary. The "evil eye"' superstition is common, and the first injunction given a visitimr foreigner by experienced Arabian travelers Is that he must not point at animals or persons in Arab settlements. Arabs say a man gifted with this malign power can look at n bird flying in the air and that it will drop dead; that if he chooses to cast his wicked, spell on a camel it may go lame or a child so selected will be struck blind. None of the lower class can read or write, but the Arab is noted for his ready wit and his habit of speaking in atlegory. Christian Herald. The Human Brain. In estimating the size of the human brain in comparison with the brain of uther animals we must figure on uot only the positive size, but the relative. Were this not the case man would stand below the elephant and whale, as the brains of those creatures far exceed man's in positive size, while as regards relative size they stand so far below him that, while the brain of the eiophant amounts to about the flve-liu-redth and that of the whale to thft-e-thousandth part of the bodily weight of these animals respectively, the brain of man varies from one-thirty-fifth to one-thirty -seventh of his entiro weight. This shows the immense uieriority of the human brain as compared with the brains of the lower animals. New York American. Dogs That Hunt Crabs. A collector for the London zoo has succeeded, iu capturing several crab hunting and crab eating dogs in Brazil. The dogs are half fox, but they do not seem to care very much for poultry. They have been known to turn up their noses at nice, fat pullets and go fishing for crabs instead. The dogs hunt in packs along the banks of the rivers in the Amazon valley, and the crawfish and land erabs of that region are their especial prey. The crabs often put np a vigorous fight, but the dogs have a way of turning them over and bitin;j them in a vital apot Just a the thoroughbred terrier polishes off a rat New York: Herald. - :

TRIAL SEPARATION ENDED IN SUICIDE

I ! 1 1

MRS. CHARLES E. ETHERIDGE. NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Deep sympa thy is felt for the heartbroken widow j of Charles E. Etheridge, the" former popular society and club man, who committed suicide Because of his inability to conquer the drink habit and thus win back the love of his wife. One year ago last June Mrs. Etheridge declared that she loved her husband but wanted the separation j for two years in order to make him choose between his love for drink and i his love for her. Etheridge killed ! himself because of his inability to kill his cursed love for alcohol. DEALING IN STOCKS. Know What You Are Buying Before Investing Your Money. We hear of fortunes quickly made in Wall street, of miners who have accumulated enormous wealth by a lucky strike, of inventions that have made inventors rich. But how many i of these instances are there? Just a few, while countless thousands and j hundreds of thousands have lost everything In unsuccessful ventures. The prosperous, successful man or woman is the one who buys with knowledge of what he or she is buying, whether it be a piece of beef, a dozen of eggs, a horse, a house or stocks and bonds. Money has been made In Wall street and will continue to be made. Those who buy stocks when they sell low and sell them when they advance must make money. The operation is no different from buying a house or a farm at a bargain and selling it at a profit. But one should exercise just as much care in one transaction as in the other. Have nothing to do with those who offer glittering " opportunities to get rich quickly. This will save your money. It may sound very nice to say that one owns a thousand shares of a gold, silver or copper mine with a par value of $1.0,000 and that cost the holder only $50 or $100. But what use Is such a certificate unless it has real value? Better put the $50 or $100 in one share of a dividend paying stock and be satisfied with moderate returns and a moderate profit on any advance the stock may enjoy. Leslie's. EAGLES IN COMBAT. Fury of the Belligerent Birds In Their Duel In the Air. An old time observer in Maryland says that the Eastern Shore eagles can fly faster, remain in their lofty flight longer aud descend from it to the earth with more velocity than any other created thing with wings. He also says that the fierceness of the eagles and the tenacity and power of clutch they can put into their Immense talons are beyond belief, and he cites as an instance of it a fight between two of the big birds that he once saw. Just what incited the two eagles to the combat this spectator of the fight did not know, but they came together high in the air. A long time the two fierce birds fought with beak and talon and wing, rushing upon one another, delivering their blows and retreating for advantage in a new attack. Then at last they clinched and fought at close quarters. In that position they came plunging to the earth, but neither made any effort to stay the fa'l. so desperately intent was each on the savage battle. They, struck together in the freshly tuned furrow of a plowed field, and the impact failed to separate them or to cause aninstant'a delay in the fight, and the coming on the scene of a man with a club, with which he at once took part in the battle, did not distract their attention from one another, and the man killed them both. Their talons were buried so deeply in each other's flesh that to separate the two belligerent eagles It was necessary to cut off their legs. New York Sun. Procrastination.

FRENZIED

Marks the Progress of Modern Society Which Applauds the Dazzle of the Imitation Since the Latter So Cleverly4 Masquerades As the Genuine.

BY ESTHER GRIPFIN WHITE. Time was when anvone could spot an imitation. It is harder to tell nowadays than i fin i in i ' Even in personality. For society has become so complex in its activities and it3 inter-relations that the genuine has some ado to keep its head above water. Faking has become a fine art. Even faking in personality. For the means of communication have become so multiplied that the mediocre, the commonplace and the stupid can take on the gloes of superiority. And the gloss will have the appearance of gloss. Of a polish induced by the material upon which the gloso appears. Not of varnish. But, after all, it is varnish, more frequently than not. i Varnish that scratches, chips off, wears away, is dulled and toned down and finallv flakes .. off in bis Datchee leaving the ragged superstructure exposed to view. Sometimes this ragged substance is, of itself, impressive. It may, now and then, have a value of its own. Which was obscured by the varnish. ; And which, properly brushed up, may give it an individuality. But it is the imitation that holds the beards nine times out of ten. And crowds the genuine to the wall. It glitters in the sun or the electric light like a diamond. It is paste, to be sure, but no one but an expert can discover it. But what's the odds? Especially if you can't tell the difference. Some day, though, you may want to sell it. You will take it to a diamond merchant and ask it's value. Its examination will follow. And then, to your dismay, your chagrin, your mortification, you will find that it is paste. And worth about the sum of Mrs. Anthony's famed diamond heels five cents a quart. It is thus that humanity is defrauded. That men and women pointed in each other. He will see a dazzling light on the hilltop his eyes are blinded by what
