Finally the catarrh is continuous. After wards brown scabs form in the nose, the breath is fetid, breathing- through the nose more or less obstructed. Then the victim has coryza. In taking Peruna for coryza a talile apoonful should be held in the mouth, and then allowed to slowly trickle down the throat occasionally breathing out through the none, so that the fumes of Veruna will permeate all through the throat and posterior nares.

Slow Travtlsr, but Hla Greater 8trength Makaa Him Mora Valua- I bla Than the Ox la Fierce I Fighter on Occasions. j The pictures and reports of tha war : In the Balkans have brought Into ' prominence the quadruped which, though well known as a domestic anl- , mal In the east. Is very unfamiliar to : western eyes the buffalo. If men tioned at all this beast is generally 1 thought of as a savage brute, but In , the war area we find him. says the : London Standard, doing duty as a j transport animal equally with the fa- ; miliar ox, rroni wl tmguished in the miliar ox, from which he Is easily dls- ; illustrations by his , low set, downcurvlng horns and mui- ile carried almost straight forward. i Feople who have to travel by buffa lo cart are to be pitied, for the buf falo Is the slowest of all beasts of draught. It Is bis great strength that gives him the advantage over the ox. The load that a single yoke of buf faloes will pull is something astound ing, and in India they are always giv- i en the kind of load which ts assigned to dray horses here, ordinary horse work except passenger traffic being there performed by the humped oxen ! known over here as zebus. India. Indeed. Is the native home of the buffalo, and It still exists there as a wild animal. Very mild, indeed, it Is, too, and an old bull Is very apt to attack unprovoked, contrary to the usual custom of almost all wild ani mals. Even Its tame descendants re tain plenty of spirit. When In a herd they do not fear the tiger and a recog nized method of getting stripes" to bolt when he has taken cover Is to drive a herd of bufTaloes to rout him out. which they will do to a certainty If they get on his scent. Even tame buffaloes can make them selves very unpleasant to people they do not know, and they are not at all ot-j c wry do not know European to approach In and here the more attrac- tlve side of their character comes out r?.Ke,dl"p,ar toward n e'r own,e.! rather with dogs than with cattle. The true Indian buffalo Is really to a great extent an aquatic animal, and when off duty likes nothing so much as to Ho Up to Its ears in water, but. like the duck, it can If necessary re sign itself to existence without a bath. That an animal so nearly naked of skin as It Is should thrive in so cold a climate as is that of eastern Europe Is a remarkable fact of acclimatization. Its presence in Italy Is less sur prising, but even there Its Introduc tion seems to be merely of madieval date. Scientifically the tame buffalo is of Interest as having, like the ass. varied so little from the wild type. Pied buffalos are as rare as pled don keys, though white and fawn colored varieties occur as well as the natural black. Like the ass also, the buffalo Is a despised animal, yet In local util ity both beasts may surpass their more artistocratic relatives, the horse and ox. while in intelligence and force of character tbey are certainly far su perior. Hugo's Feata of Gastronomy. - Mme. Judith has some good stories to relate of Victor Hugo, although there are few among them that In crease our respect for the great nov elist She was especially struck by his gastronomic feats, as she may well have ben. L'pon one occasion, she says, he, "put a whole orange, rind and all Into his mouth and then managed to thrust as many pieces of sugar as possible into his cheeks. This achiev ed, he began to scrunch It all up with his lips tightly closed In the midst of this operation he swallowed down two liquor glasses of Klrsch and a few minutes later opened his mouth wide. It was empty! No one made any at tempt to Imitate him." Hugo's com placency was as great as his other powers. When somebody at table quoted De Musset he replied. "Yes, he has Immense talent He boasts that there are some who consider him as good a poet as I am." 1 Natural Coke and Graphite. Coke is made In nature as well as in hriek ovens. When hot volcanic material comes Into contact with a 1 1 coal bed under the proper conditions It makes very good coke Indeed, al though not In sufficiently large depos its to be commercially valuable. Such natural coke Is often found by the geologist or the prospector. Graphite Is also manufactured out me aeposus o. u. nuu a, ..ems ; in New Mexico Geologist Lee found some excellent examples where coal bad been metamorphosed Into graph ite by comparatively recent Intrusions of hot volcanic rock, the combustion of the coal being prevented by the absence of air. Man is now manufac turing graphite as well as coke out of coal. Scientific American. Told Her.

"Yet, It Is presumable that the guest ; who came with an Imitation diamond , in his pocket Is the man who started a discussion which resulted In Mr. 1 Taubery producing his latest treas ure." "So It Is. by Jove!" cried the col onel; "I never thought of It Clever work. Inspector, ell?" "Exactly," said Peace, blandly. "And now, as regards the place In which the robbery was committed." I "I locked the door," answered the colonel, smacking his trousers' pocket "Please let me have the key. Thank you. And now as to the windows. ' Were they closed and fastened?" "I saw to It myself." "After the search In the library, did any of the guests return to the dining room?" "I am no fool. Inspector. I left old ' Julius there to see to that No one went back. When I had finished searching I joined Julius, and we locked up together. The butler had called In the policeman on the beat and I left him sitting In the passage watching the door and drinking beer." "I must go to Portland place. What Is the number?" "I will drive you there with all the pleasure In the world. Inspector," said the colonel, cheerfully. "Come along." I left them at the foot of the stairs, obtaining a whispered promise from the detective that he would give me call that night If It was not too late when he returned. I spent a disconsolate evening at the club. Never did I play a more de graded hand at bridge, though should certainly have taken exception to the remarks of my partner under more ordinary circumstances. There ' Is a point at which fair criticism ends and deliberate Insult begins. By ten o'clock I was back again In my rooms, where I loitered, amongst my books and pictures. In restless ex pectation. It was chiming midnight when there came a discreet tap at my outer door, and Addlngton Peace walked in. He sat himself down In the easy chair I offered, and permitted ; me to mix him a whisky and soda. "Tell me, have you found the dia mond T" "No." "Nor the thief?" "I know him to be one of five men that Is all." "Five? And how do you make that out?" "It Is very simple. The real dia mond was examined by Professor En dlcott; It was an Imitation that reached Sir Andrew Carihon. There fore It Is reasonable that one of the five who sat between them changed the one for the other." "So you strike out the professor and Sir Ancjew?" "If either of them bad been Impli cated they would hardly have raised the quarel that resulted In the dis covery ot the theft" "And this suspected Bve who are theyr : "Our friend Colonel Gunton. Mr. Thomas Graddock, a clerk In the war office: tt9 Hon. Oeorge Carstalrs, Lor Wlntone's brother; Mr. Abel Field 01 Grey anl Field, car manufacturers; and the Rev. Aubrey Power, a minor canon of Westminster Abbey. I have made so-ne light Inquiries and find nothing against them. Carstalrs, Craddoct; and Power are men of mod erate Id jome, the other two are rich. "Yet tils gives us one Important concluslcn. The actual thief Is an am ateur In' crime. So far as anyone knows tt Is Is his first offense. But It was cot 4 sudden temptation to which he yielded. On the contrary, be was carrying out his share In a plot that I had been long and carefully prepared. H substituted an imitation diamond for the original as It passed through bis hands an easy matter; but who thought out the scheme, who bad this admirable Imitation made, who knew that Taubery was leaving the country and that the diamond was to be sent Immediately to the strong room of a bank, where the substitution that had taken place might not be discovered for months, perhaps years? "Who, In short, had the clever brain, the far-sighted Judgment, the familiarity with jewels and those who deal In them, all of which would be re quired In the originator of such a fraud? Not Ounton. nor Craddock, nor Carstalrs, nor Field, nor the Kev. Aubrey Power. There Is some one who has Influence over one of these men, some one pulling the strings be hind the curtain. I shall consider tt an honor to make that person's arrest Mr. Phillips." Inspector Addlngton Peace beamed upon me as he concluded bis deduc tion concerning the theft of Julius Taubery's diamond, with an expres sion of hopeful enthusiasm, and lit a cigarette at my reading lamp. "This unknown criminal genius has got the diamond, anyway," I said. "I am not so sure of that Consider the position of the actual thief on" the discovery that the stone was false. He must hare been In a state of blind ter ror. If we may suppose that Colonel Ounton Is Innocent, the bellowing of that worthy gentleman must have frightened him the more. To be searched, discovered, and actually dis graced a pleasant prospect, surely! We may take It that be waa heartily sorry for the part be had played ; that he wished the -diamond a thousand miles away. To get rid of It previous to tne ordeal before the colonel and Prottmtor Kndleott In the Ubrei th't wouM ' """t u m. "Te bere X am met br the -mt..u tfffleult? that i eaaaoa nod niond. I have made the closest Inves tigation without result As Colonel Uunton told us. Mr. Taubery remained In the dining room to see that none of the guesta returned after they bad been searched. The door was subse quently locked and a policeman sta tioned In the passage outside; the windows were fastened. Therefore the thief could not come back to re cover what he hnd temporarily hidden. All of which might seem to prove that, though Colonel Gunton affirms that be went through the guests with an ex pert hand, one of them managed to ketp the diamond about him and carry It away. Yet such an achievement suggests rather the professional than the an-ntour criminal. And. If for that reason alone. I believe that the stone Is still In the house. We ought to be able to decide that point within a week." "I can't see why. Peace," I said. "No? Then, pray dont trouble about It. And really, Mr. Phillips, as I have a long day's work before me. It Is time I was oft to bed. Do you know It Is one o'clock?" I knew how useless It was to ques tion the little man when be thought he had told enough. So I bade him good night with the best grace that disappointment would permit It bad been kind of him to trouble about me, after all. Three days went by, and I bad not had the chance of asking Peace for news. For two nights, as I discovered by Inquiry, he slept out, only appear ing for an hour about noon to change his linen; for he was most careful of his appearance and as cleanly as a rat Indeed, I bad a secret belief that his nails were regularly manicured In Bond street. When I did see him It was by accident, and, to be frank, nothing he bad done gave me greater surprise. I was walking through Kensington gardens about eleven o'clock on a visit to a friend whose studio lay to the north of the park. It was charm ing weather. The fresh leaves on the smoke-black boughs, the flower beds rich In variegated coloring, the deep throated coo of the pigeons, the chat ter of Innumerable sparrows, all told that winter bad passed and spring waa calling a welcome to summer. I had Just turned from a long shrub-walled walk Into an open spare when I came upon the amazing spectacle of Ad dlngton Peace flirting with a very pretty nursemaid. Whatever the little inspector had been, whatever be waa, there was nothing of the Don Juan In bis com position. I had already noticed that be took pains to avoid the opposite sex, with that uneasy consciousness of their presence which marks the bachelor with principles. Yet there he sat, sharing the same bench and talking earnestly into her ear, while before them a little boy pedalled In dustriously up and down upon a trl-cycle-horse, a long-niancd, long-tailed toy set on three wheels and propelled by Indifferent pedals. It was Idyllic, domestic, but distinctly surprising. . As I passed the bench, Peace stared at me without a glimmer of recogni tion In his keen gray eyes. I bad JuRt finished my breakfast next morning when In walked the In spector. I laughed; Indeed I could not help It; and he answered me with a quick glance, half annoyance, balf re proach. "Something Is going to happen to day in the matter of the diamond." he said. "But I warn you, Mr. Phillips, that If you Intend to make fun of me you shan't know a word about It." "You entirely misjudge me,"I said, sticking my nose Into my coffee cup to hide a grin. "Very well. There Is a sale of fur niture today at the house of Mr. Ju lius Taubery, No. 204 Portland place, the 'property of a gentleman going abroad for the benefit of his health,' as the ra'alor'ie tins It. I should srt- WHAT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE Odd Superstitions That Are Prevalent Among the Inhabitants of Euro pean Countries. In Spain the wedding Is spoiled If one of the guests appears entirely In black or If the bride looks Into a mir ror after orange blossoms and veil are fastened In her headdress. When a person's hair ends split It Is taken by the superstitious for a sign that she Is either a witch or has been bewitched. As blond hair splits more readily than dark hair, all witches. sprites and sorceresses have blond or red hair, according to popular belief. Likewise, according to the standard of art On the marriage eve there is often much good natured rivalry between the groom and the bride In the Slav countries as to who shall blow out the candle, for the person who does will be "first to die." It Is Impossible to trace the origin of this superstition. yet It prevails In arlstocratlo society aa well aa In the peasant's hut, even as like this, that "to Insure the life and health of the children" the wom an must occupy the right side of the bed. In addition, she must not smoke before ber forty-fifth year.

It was during their sale that my talk with the col onel was interrupted by the little boy upon his shoulder. "Oh. father." he cried, "there's George's bicycle horse! Won't you buy me George's bicycle horse T' A long tailed, long-matted toy was raised by one of the auctioneer's men. who grinned under a running fire of chaff. I had n Idea that I had seen that gallant charger before, though where I could not remember. "Who ts George?" I asked the col onel. "It's Taubery's . grandson. His daughter's a widow, you know; she and the boy live with the old people. HI. there! ten shillings." A gray haired man In an overcoat who stood near by nodded his head at the auctioneer. "Eleven shillings going at eleven shillings." "Fifteen," bawled the colonel. , "One pound." said the gray-haired man. I had no Idea what the cost of such toys might be; but the price, second hand, seemed high. Several of the dealers gathered about the chair on which the auctioneer was standing looked back at us over their shoul ders. "Confound those dealers!" cried the colonel. "If an outside buyer wants anything they try to squeeze him out They're all In league. It ought to be stopped. It's a monstrous shame. It's Iniquitous. Twenty five shillings to you, sir." "Thirty," said the gray-haired man. "Two pounds." As the bids increased the temper of the colonel grew worse and worse.
