"We are never amazed when vessels go aground and are wrecked on Lake Erie during the gales that are common on that treacherous -water, for we ex pect such things then," said a lake skipper, "but when one is grounded on a clear day and -wrecked on a course as olear as the day in the hands of a pilot that knows the ground like a book we acid is made naturally wonder a Jittle and want to know the whys and wherefores. Snch was the ease of the propeller Snsan E. Peok that went aground near Bar point and was lost with a $20,000 cargo. "The captain of the Susan E. had sailed successfully hundreds of times between Point Pelee and Bar point and in all kinds of weather, and this time he had a wheelman who was known from one end of the lake to the other as one of the most expert navigators in the lake business. He had been lying up along time, for the very good reason that owing to an accident to one of his legs that leg bad to be amputated to save his life. The lost member was re placed by an artificial leg, and then the pilot was ready to take his poet at the wheel again. His first service after bis misfortune was this trip of the Susan E. Peck, and he ran her aground. "The puzzle to everybody was how it was possible for the propeller, han dled by a man of such skill and experi ence, on a straight course only 40 miles long and with every sailing condition favorable, to leave her course. The pilot was the most puzzled and astounded person of all. He soon got another ves sel, and this one he ran in such an er ratio manner, but fortunately with no disastrous result, that he was compelled to give her up, and his usefulness as a pilot was gone. He and others went to investigating to see if they could dis cover what was wrong with his sea manship. "After awhile they discovered what they believed was the trouble. In the pilot's artificial leg a great deal of steel had been used in the joints and other places. Sitting close to the bimiaolet as he did while steering, this steel derang ed the compass so that it threw the wheelman way off his reckoning and led to the wrong piloting that had wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan *'e other vessel that the "wheel igated subsequently. This was 7 argued, and to demonstrate ^tness of the theory the pilot of a vessel without wear leg.

It is not a superstition, but an actual condition of the atmosphere which seems to drive the people to madness, and during its continuance self inflict ed deaths are numerous. Criminologists and scientists all over the world are interested in this peculiar atmospheric influence, which is indi cated by a soft, moist, warm air that settles heavily on the earth. The climatic condition known as the "suicide wind" is greatly dreaded in that part of the country. Statistics prove that suicides and oth er crimes occur together or in waves as they are described.

FOO THA I&TOS. THINGS THAT AFFLICTED PERSONS SHOULD NOT EAT. If Yo Hav a to Gout. Sha Meat as You YTould Torture A Little Advic to he Great Arm of Sufferers Dyspepsia _L A physician, writing in the Phila delphia Inquirer on "Foods and Their Effect on the Human System," says: That out of sorts feeling from which rcost of us suffer half the days of our life is usually due to-our eating things we shouldn't. Although we are con structed on the same model, scarcely any twc people have exactly the same Kind of heart, liver and other organs, and as a result nothing is truer'than the saying that "One man's meat is an other man's poison." Meat, for instance, is a slow poison to a number of individuals. If there is A gouty strain in your family, you are Btoring up future torture for yourself every time yon eat a chop or piece of beef. \Gout is simply the result of too much urio acid in the blood, and meat is fall of, the material from which urio You may think that so long as you have not to sit in an easy obair all day there is no need for precautions in diet. But the first symptoms are always mild, and if you feel irritable and un able to settle down to work you had better be careful how much meat yon eat. Englishmen are said to be the worst tempered people on earth. They are also the most gooty, and there can be no doubt that they are the greatest .meat eaters. Nothing is more nourishing than sugar, yet it is absolutely poison to those who are prone to diabetes, and any one inclined to corpulency should regard it as a natural enemy. Two lumps of sugar per day in excess of the quantity required by the body would add 60 pounds to a man's weight in five yelirs—that is, of course, if he had the sort of constitution that easily puts on flesh. *'. %.",** But it is not sugar alone whioh is in jurious to diabetic and stout people. The former should not look at porridge, rice, beet root, Spanish onions, port wine, rum or ginger beer the latter should take neither soup, beer, potatoes ner treacle, while gouty people should not tppcb peas or beans. If any pear member of your family has St- Vitus' dance or epilepsy, you should eat meat sery eparingly and grapes not at alj, while you might as well think of committing suicide'as fre quenting the barroom. For dyspeptics it is impossible to say what food is good, because everything' is bad. White bread remains undigest ed for hours, brown bread is most irri tating and injurious, vegetables are con verted into gases and painful acids, and most kinds of meat are too heavy. The dyspeptic, in, fact, ought never to have been born However, since the sufferer from dys pepsia must eat, let him follow this rule, and it-may bring relief: Eat a little of everything, but eat sparingly, never leaving the table with a sense of hav ing eaten sufficient eat slowly. Masti cate all food thoroughly and never drink while eating. If he must drink, let him drink after he has finished eating. No doubt the majority of people see no connection between lheir ailments and the breakfast or dinner whioh they have enjoyed. But there are many per sons who are so severely affected by par ticular articles of diet that there is no question about the fact that some kinds of food are more or less poisonous to us all, although -We may not suffer very greatly after eating them. An acquaint ance of the writer's, for example, falls into oonvulsions if be eats a single strawberry, and even the odor of straw berry jam in the neighborhood of jam factories almost throws him into a fit. The writer knows a lady whose heart comes to a stop if she eats an egg. Of course she never intentionally eats one now, but frequently on taking a piece of cake or some kind of pudding or sauce containing eggs she swoons. Many people get cramp in the stoin ach from eating honey, and more than one death has resulted from this cause.. Others are made violently sick by the smell of apples, and a patient of the writer's has often averred that even the sight of beet root seemed to suffocate him, while another had to give up drinking milk because it produced in tense inflammation of the eyes. Many kinds of fish cause serious ill ness. Lobsters and crabs produce most painful itching in some people, and the writer has known several who after eat ing salmon felt a horrid taste in the mouth, and soon after suffered so badly from headache as to be compelled to go to bed. -. Zif? These latter are the extreme instances of injury from food, but they prove that thousands of people suffer in a less de gree, and that probably no one can lunch or dine without swallowing some thing poisonous to his system.* .» -,- "l'A Tragic, ,£ -^kf^'f."

"Now that you've finished shaving me, how many strokes of the razor did it require?" asked the man in the chair, as he straightened up to have his hair combed. "That's pretty hard to tell," said the bajber. "()f course it is. But you've been in the.business bow long?" "Fifteen years." "You ought to know by this tinie about how many strokes of the razor it requires to shave a man. supposing that you go over his face a second time." "I might make a guess at it." "All right. What's your guess? Re member that I have a hard beard." "Well, I should say about 125." "You're a good guesser, I don't think. Some time ago I got into the habit of counting the strokes of a razor every time I was being shaved. It's a good way to employ your mind. In shaving me you just made 732 strokes with the razor." "I wouldn't have believed it." Y^J'' "No man believes it until he takes the trouble to count. In my easel never knew the number to fall below 500, and it has gone more than 800 at times. I call it a stroke every time the razor is brought forward and then drawn back. I should judge that there are no fewer than 500 strokes in a first class shave.
