Esearehing for the lost woman,
Mrs. Waldo's maiden name was Fullerton.
She was a native of Phiiadelphia and a niece
of Judge Fullerton of New York eity. Some
time ago, after giving birth to a child, she
suffered terribly from nervous prostration
and various other troubles, and for
days and nights she had been nearly
crazed with pain. A nurse has been con-
stantly with her. The previous night she
Deemed without sleep until 4 o'clock next
morning, when her eyelids closed, and eo
did these of her attendant, who, worn out
with fatigue'did not wake until about two
hours and a half later. When she did awake
Mrs. Waldo was gone. The household wan
at once aroused, but the woman could not be
traced.
Finally, at 4.30 o'clock in the afternoon,
word was telephoned from Pine Rock that
the 'body of the unfortunate woman had
been found there. Mrs. Waldo had been
seen by people in the neighborhood all day
walking swiftly about in the feverish med-
usas which seemed to poesees her. No one
thought it prudent to reetrain her. When
found she lay at the foot of a twenty-five
foot cliff, frcm which she had either fallen
or jumped. The shook of the fall hi led her
outright.
The body was taken to the residence of
Prof. Waldo. Mrs. Waldo was 36 years
old. Her sister died last summer from the
effects of a suicidal leap at Denble Beat*.
Two Meals a Day.
The word meal is so old that it is uucer-
tain juet what our Saxon fathers meant by
It. Possibly it datee back to a time when
grain, pounded and cooked, was the ohief
artiole of food:
The Orientals generally had only two
Tamils, between which intervened the labore
ot the dety, and it h largely their custom
now. This maxima confusion in translating
the Bible terms relating to meals. For in-
stance, Chriet is repressnted as saying to
the disciples at early deven, "Come and dine,"
and the Jews had no light meal after the
principal one. "
Even in cold oeuntrice, where three meals
a day are the rule, the first was looked on
as a elight bresking of the fast, while the
Met was a mere sup, or sip, later of tea,
thus giving us tea -time as an equivalent of
supper. The meal of the day was the din-
ner; hence among the Greeks and Jews the
word for dinner and a feast was one V•nd the
same. Where, among the higher chimes in
England, the dinner emus quite late in the
day, no need is felt for another meal.
In the rural districts and the email towns
of our own country the original custom of
three meala is well-nigh univereal, and the
dinner divide; the day into two nearly
equal parts, and so controls the nodal and,
to some extent, the religions customs of the
people. Domestic cares belong to the fore-
noon, and modal calls to the afternoon. Se,
too, whereas the synagogue worship of the
Jews had but a single service, we generally,
In the country at least, Nave two, the one
In the afternoon being simply a duplicate
of the one in the forenoon.
In oiar large cities, however, where offiee
business is transacted mainly between nine
M. and five P. M., or where businees
men reside miles away from their worke the
tendency is tovvardthe earlier custom of two
race's. Such a change can hardly become
general. But where it is convenient, there
are two solid reasons in its favor, i. e., of
two principal meals, with a slight lunch
between: (1) It gives time for a complete
digestion before again filling the stomach
—ea matter of no little importance to high
health. (2) It transfers the principal meal
from the time when the nerve force is in
special dammed for the brain, to a time when
it is met free for the etomach.
But there is a large class everywhere who
would. be greatly benefited by having only
two meals a clay, it being understood that
they eat as much in two meals, as would
ordinarily be needed in three. They are
the neuralgic, those whose digestion is feeble
and slow, and the victims of many chronic
complaiate. In such cases the first meal
should be somewhat late, and the second
somewhat early.
Two Thoroughly Scared Miners.
Daring the great storm of a week or so
since two miners started to ascend one of
the mountains near Aspen. They made
the trip on Norwegian snow -shoes, on which
they worked their way up a narrow gulch
leading to their property. As they journeyed

distance separated them thet the leader. by

He seized hold of a convenient tree and
called to his companion to "look out," The
tree was small and bent over under the
weight of moving snow. Ho let go and
started with the elide. The long shoes were
by this time firmly anchored in the moving
mass, and he was hurried along with no
power to stop himself by seizing the trace
which he passed. Fortunately he was en
the tail end of the avalanche; and thus rode
it in safety, with nothlng coming behind to
cover him up. When he found that he had
thus to be an unwilling passenger upon the
terrible train he looked ahead to see whet

Is an inclination to rest, to keep quiet, to

powers of the body are jaded, the vitality
at a low ebb, all of the symptoms indicating
the necessity for quiet, allowing time for a
general rally.
The whole body, with the stomach, en a
very important part, will be benefited by a
"vacation." And in this regard, probabiy,
the greeted error ia committed, when one
foolishly attempts' to rally by meting an un-
usual amount, with the fake hope of adding
new life by eatieg, when the stomach may

England's Broad Arrow.
The property of the English Crown has
been marked with the broad arrow from
times so early that no one now wen tell
when it was first used for this purpose, or
what was its meaning. This usage reminde
one of the practice at Athens more than
two thousand years ago to brand the
captives taken in war with the dgure of
an owl as a mark of Athenian ownership.
In the same manner Samos branded her
captives with the figure of a ship.
A recent writer uponiEngland speaks of
seeing the mark of the arrow upon the
backs of convicts employed upon the public
works. He found this mark stamped upon
the Queen's property of every description,
from castles, ships, and big gune, down to
a piece of Liverpool bagging ; and there is
a penalty of two hundred pounds for re-
moving it.

the mountain, as an unseen gulch crawled it,

Some time before the opening of the war
in 1775, the surveyors of the King were
sent through the woods of Maine within
ten miles or so of the coast, to select such
pines as were fit for masts to ships.obthe-
line in the British navy, and upon these
trees the broad arrow was ant. In 1773
or 74, workmen were tient to cut the masts

to haul the mash to the landing, or to let
their oxen for any such service. The Eng-

trees where they were lying.
In 1781 this particular lot of land was
occupied for a mill, and a house was built
upon it in a very substantial manner. For
abiegles and clapboards for the roof and
walls of the house, the two masts were
worked up by hand where they lay in the
wood.
Of course both kinds of lumber were
rived and shaved, for there were no mills
near the place then. The shingles upon
