[.Scientific Magazine) Be careful of your diet. You do not need heavy food such as you require dur ing the Winter. Spring may be beautiful, but It is treacherous. Do not let it deceive into a cold, a fever, malaria moula. Do not throw off your Winter flannels too early. It is better to suffer a little inconvenience than to take cold. If yon feel tired, feverish you or pneu or over heated, do not rush off and take "Spring medicines." Cool yourself down and in this way help your system and purify your blood. If yeu feel hot and thirsty, do not drink large quantities of water or other "long" drinks. It is much better to take a little pure whiskey and water wkieh will qnench the thirst, tone the system, and fortify against disease. Remember that, only pure whiskey should ever be taken into the system, and that the leading chemist and se'en tists of the present day unite in declar ing that Duffy's Pure Malt is absolutely the purest and best.

Vandegrift Indicted Her mtd wf Poisoning Her boo Making: Way with Twi Alleged Borgia Jailed in New Jer««]r. and A< H tmlmndi Burlington, N. J., April ia—"Hung h«rl Lynch herf' were the words hurled at dr*. Carrie K Vandegrift by an angry mob that surrounded her resMenco hero when two offi cers of the court arrested her on a Lenefci warrant chnrging her with having attempt td to kill la-r son, Frank C. Norman, by means of croton oil. She assumed an air of indifference us the crowd of people aseembMk in front of the house, hut her iudlftereocR vanished when she heard the shouts of ttue mob ami saw the angry faces that greeted her when sho opened the door. "I know what you want," she said to the officers. "Yeu ueod notread the warrant. Just wait a turn minutes autil I go up stairs and change ay clothes and lock the house." Notkilug ihf M»Ufr with Norman. She was permitted to go up alone, and la a few minutes later came down stairs at tired in u handsome black silk dross. By this time she was again at her ease, and in formed the officers that ah» would take her sou with her. "There's nothing the matter with him," she said. "It's all bosh about him being poisoned. 1 am going to take hi» with me just to show tho people that I not a murderess. " Followed by an Angry Mob. Norman, however, did not utter a word. He mechanically put on his hat and oo«B and walked unsteadily to the carriage hind his mother. The crowd was so dons» that the police had to force a passage through it iu order to reach the carriage, Mrs. Vandegrift was threatened repeatedly* Sho was deadly pale and glanced nervously behind her as If she expected some assault from the crowd. The next instant they started off, followed by the mob cursing and yelling after her. The horses were put on a run amt were soor out of the reach of the crowd. Au hour later Mrs. Vandegrift reached Mount Holly with her son, and breathed a sigh of relief as sh» left the vehicle and walked to the jail. . Mr* Vaudegrlft'a Statement, She was willing euough to talk and seemed Inclined to tell her whole story. 8be : '''rtils whole thing is an outrage. S never tried to poison my son aud he won'# say so. 1 never gave him his medicine. H» always took it himself, and when Dr. Hail was prescribing for him he never took tha medicine, but gave the doctor to understand that he did. The whole affair is a piece of spite work, done because I was about to bring suit against my late husband's two sons, Peter U and John Vandegrift, who Unvo opposed me ail the time. Frank Nor man, my son, was sick when he come to nty house in Burlington. I discharged Dr. Halt because he was doing my son no good. I do not deny buying croton oil; that is true. I got five cents' worth ou several occasions to use on my corns, as 1 can prove by Dr* Rink." — — J hall •aid: I'V She I'olson Two Husbands? It is now recalled that after the death of Joseph Vandegrift during the summer of 19*7 Druggist John Butler intimated that croton oil had caused It, and said he bad sold Mrs. Vandegrift more croton oil thaa he had previously sold during the many years he had been a druggist. At that timo Mr. Vaudegrlft'a son, Peter, asserted that bis father hnd been poisoned. It is rumored that Mrs. Vaudegrift'a first husband also died under circumstances similar to the las# illness of Mr. Yuudegrift. Hhe was the latter', third wife, and is charged with hav ing assisted him in getting a divorce from his second wife that be might marry her. She also had in view a third husband, and recently told Dr. Uuuntt that she was to be married iu June to a wealthy gen tie mao who was going to take her to Europe on as bridal tour. The Gas. of Her Son. In the case of her sou. Dr. Hhll, young Norman's physician, found that his patient allowed symptoms of poisoning, and Mr*. Vandegrift was watched and was seen to purchase the oil, Unce wheu she asked for the oil some harmless liquid was given her purposely, and a change for the better was seen in her sou's condition. Budd thinks tliut her object in attempting to gut rid of her sou was to obtnia an in surance mortgage of $39,0U0 which would revert to her on her son's death. When arraigned in eourt tho prisoner pleaded not guilty and was locked up in Mouut Holly jail in default of $5,IXX) bail. It is thought, however, that she will soon get bail, 'lhe trial is down for April 23. Prosecutor Worsteds Are Not Woolens.
