Department Has Early Morn
in Race for Nothing.
Rushing breathless to department
headquarters at 3 o'clock yesterday'
morning, a negro man who works for
the Seaboard Railway Company
reported a fire on Furlow street,
near the Hamilton residence. The
fireman on watch turned the alarm,
the whistle at the pumping station
played “Annie Laurie’’ for some time,
and the fire trucks speeded out Lee
street. The neighborhood of the al
leged blaze was as dark and death
like as the store of the man who
never advertises, and now the fire
men are on a still hunt for the ne
gro who thus faked them.

Aliva Four Months In a Grave.
Hari Das, the great Hindoo fakir,
who lived in the first half of the nine
teenth century, is the ouly wonder
worker of modern times who has ever
allowed himself to be buried In the
ground for months. In the year 1839
Hari told General Ventura that for a
certain fee he would allow a committee
to test the claims which he made of be
ing able to die and remain dead for
months and then come to life again.
When all was arranged Hari hypno
tized himself to such a degree that hia
circulation was wholly stopped. When
he was pronounced dea£ to all intents
and purposes he was buried in a gar
den and a high wall built around the
grave. Guards were stationed on the
wall so that interference or deception
would be impossible. Four months
later Hari was exhumed according to
agreement, and after a few minutes of
vigorous rubbing of bis body by friends
he opened his eyes, and an hour later
he was well and able to walk. The
fakir was clean shaven when buried
and is said to have come out of the
grave in the same shape, a fact which
Is cited to prove that vitality must
have been completely suspended.
Ostriches Are Poor Sailors.
‘‘Ostriches are terrible creatures to
have aboard ship in a storm,” said a
sailor. “Knocked about by the waves,
they fall and break their legs. We once
carried eight superb ostriches. They
were good sailors. Their sea appetites
were fine. But two days from port a
nasty gale overtook us. And then it
was pitiful to see those ostriches. The
ship’s lurches and ducks knocked them
off their pins, sent them rolling back
and forth, to and fro, wildly, help
lessly. Imagine n dozen ostriches, now
on their feet, then—bang—on their
backs, their long legs in the air, rolling
every which way. What you’d expect
to happen happened, of course. Their
legs broke. You could hear above the
storm the sharp crack of the splitting
bone. Os those eight fine ostriches
only two reached port alive.”
Food and Digestion.
One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of Its digestibility. Half
a pound of cheese is vastly more nour
ishing, ns regards Its mere composi
tion, than half a pound of beef; but
while the beef will be easily digested,
and thus be of vast service to us, tho
cheese Is put out of court altogether
for ordinary folks by reason of its in
dlgestlblllty. We should bear this rule
In mind when we hear people compar
ing one food with another In respect of
their chemical value.

there'll be prosperity.
Cotton avenue is being neatly pat

There is one sidewalk in the city

SCHOOL TRUSTEES
That District Only One to Re

County School Commissioner W.
S. Moore was in the city yesterday.
Referring to the election for district
school trustees, Mr. Moore stated
that two districts, Mossey Dell and
Thompson, had failed to have elec
tions. Os the other twent-five dis
tricts but one had sent in a report
of the election up to yesterday, that
being Plains district, where Messrs.
R. S. Oliver, W. L. Thomas and D.
P. Murray were elected.
It is probable that in a day or two
the Commissioner will have the re
sult of the election from each of the
other districts.
The Limit of Life.
The most eniment medical scien
tists are unanimous in the conclu
sion that the generally accepted lim
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be betwen 50
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be
{ing fatal to longevity. Nature’s best
helper after 50 is Electric Bitters,

talizes every organ of the body. Guar
