German Doctor'* Rejuvenescence Plan More Successful Than Satisfactory. The British Medical Journal tells this story, according to a London special cable dispatch to the New York Sun: A German doctor discovered a means of restoring lost youth to women which Is more potent than Cagliostro's famous pentacle rejuvenescence and advertised that he could in two days rejuvenate the most decrepit hag. This brought a crowd of ancient dames to his home. At the tirst interview after a careful auscultation he invited each patient to write her surname and Christian name and age on a piece of paper. The ages to which the women pleaded guilty varied, but all ruled high. The doctor undertook to give each patient the promised elixir the next day, but some time, he said, was required to adjust the strength to the individual power of resistance. On the appointed day the women called again, but the doctor expressed regret that he had unfortunately mislaid the papers containing their ages. For this reason a new set would be required. He added casually that they ought to know that the oldest of them must allow herself to be burned for the good of the rest, as the basis for the remedy was human ash. The next day the women brought back papers with their ages inscribed. It was round mat eacn naa xaaea many years off the age previously admitted. The doctor, pretending to have found the first papers, called them to witness the success of his Invention. Comparing the lists, he showed that he had kept his word in regard to rejuvenation, because In forty-eight hours they had all become many years younger. TO FEDERATE METHODISTS. R. W. Perks of England Describes Plan to Unite Church's Forces. Robert W. Perks, M. P., a prominent Methodist of England, who assisted in raising the twentieth century fund for Methodism In England to $20,000,000, arrived at New York recently with his family on the White Star liner Adriatic. Mr. Perks came to the United States to assist in federating the Methodist forces throughout the United States and Canada. His mission will take him.around the world, and after leaving the United States he will go to Australia and Cape Colony. "The project," said Mr. Perks, "will provide for the establishing of a great central bureau, with branches In every Important city of the world where Methodists are to he round, it contemplates the systematic emigration of the better class of emigrants and the aiding of them until they reach the country of their adoption! It will also have a loan society, and In England it will embrace the scheme for dealing with the needs of old age. The center of this organization will be the great Church House at Westminster, London, which Is now being erected on the site of the old London aquarium, opposite Westminster abbey. I hope that this building, the contract for the foundation of which was given out the week before I left London, will be finished in three years. The building, exclusive of the land, will cost $1,000,000 and will'be one ef the most beautiful and largest church buildings In Great Britain." / BLOOD TURNING TO INK. 80 Doctors Diagnose Case of |Man With Body Becoming Blue. Frank Powell, member of a firm of manufacturing chemists of Detroit, Mich., is turning blue, and his physisian says it is believed his blood is turning to ink. Powell was trying to. open a can of aniline the other day, and the cork stuck, says a special to the New York Herald. When it finally came out; It came with considerable force, and, impelled by a gas which had formed in the can, the liquid was thrown over his face and hands. He inhaled the fumes, which caused extreme dizziness, and since then he has been confined to his bed. His flesh Is turning blue, and from the pores of his skin exudes a fluid resembling ink. He will probably recover, although his physician says that, so far as he knows, there is no similar case on record. Discovery of Putnam Relic. Charles T. Hotaling, the warden of the town of Greenwich, Conn., has found an old razor which Is believed l to have been the one with which Gen, eral Israel Putnam was shaving in . the Putnam cottage at Greenwich i when word came that the British were approaching, driving him to the steep 1 precipice where he dived down the - hundred stone steps to Cos Coh, says a i Greenwich special dispatch to the New York Herald. It is a crude and pon: flerous instrument nearly eleven inches ; long, blade and handle, and the blade , must have originally been about one . inch and a quarter wide and about i three-eighths of an inch thick at the - back.
