W » v V « w The Henry Phipps Institute of Phila delphia, which has been established by the generous gift of a wealthy resi dent of that city, is doing a great work on behalf of persons suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis or con sumption. The physicians employed by this institution have compiled some excellent rules to be observed by per sons suffering from this disease, the '•ireful following of which will pre vent the extension of the disease to others, and will greatly aid the suf ferers to recover. Don’t spit on the sidewalk, on the street, nor into any place where you cannot destroy the germs which you spit up. Do not swallow any spit which comes up from your lungs or which comes out of the back part of your throat. Spit into a spit cup when it is pos sible to do so. Always use a spit cup with a han dle to it so that you can hold it close to your mouth. When you use a china or earthen ware spit cup always keep lye and water in it and scald out the spit cup | once or twice a day with boiling ; water. When -you use a tin spit cup with a paper spit cup inside burn the paper cup at least once a day and scald the tin cup with boiling water. Never use a handkerchief or a rag \ or any material other than paper to spit in or to wipe your mouth with. When you cannot spit into a spit i cup, spit into a paper napkin. Always use a paper napkin to wipe your mouth with, after spitting, and :.a careful not to soil your lianas. Always carry a cheap paper bag in your pocket or eaba to put paper nap kins in which you have used. When you have used a paper nap kin, either to spit in or to wipe your mouth with, fold it up carefully and put it away in the paper bag. Every evening, before goirg to bed. burn your paper bag together with the napkins which you have deposited in it. ir yen nave a mustecne or uearu shave it off or crop it close. Always wash your lips and hands before eating or drinking, and rinse out your mouth. If you have a running sore take up the matter which is given off with j absorbent cotton and burn it. Avoid handshaking and kissing. These customs are dangerous to you |is well as to others. They may give others consumption; they may bring you colds and influenzas which will greatly aggravate your disease and may prevent your recovery. Do not cough if you can help it. You can control your cough to a great ex tent by will power. When you cough severely boll a paper napkin to your mouth so as not to throw out spit while coughing. Sit out of doors all : ou can. If you have no other place to sit than the pavement sit cn the pavement in front of your house. Don’t take any exercise when you have a high fever. Always sleep with your windows open, no difference what the weather may be. Avoid fatigue. One single exhaust ion may change the course of your disease from a favorable one to an un favorable one. Go to bed early. If you are work ing, lie down when you have a few moments to spare. Don’t take any medicine unless it has been prescribed by your physician. Medicine may do you harm as well as good. Don’t use alcoholic stimulants of ans Kina. Don't eat pastry or dainties. They i do not nourish you and they may up set your stomach. Take your milk and raw eggs whether you feel like it or not. Keep up your courage. Make a brave fight for your life. Do what you are told to do as though your recovery depended upon the carrying out of every little detail. Always keep in mind that consump tion can be cured in many cases and that it can be prevented in all cases. If your own disease is too far ad vanced for you to recover, console yourself with the idea that you can keep those who are near and dear to you from getting it. Nerve Poisoning Through Indigestion. Prof. Bouchard, the eminent French scientist, has shown that the decompo sition of food which often takes place In the stomach and intestines in in digestion gives rise to powerful poi sons. When absorbed into the body, these produce effects entirely similar to those produced by strychnia, opium, x.tcohol, and other poisonous drugs. If food is retained in the stomach be yond the normal time, either because of its indigestibility, the taking of too large a quantity of it, or a crippled state of the stomach, these changes are certain to take place. This fact explains a very large share of the distressing symptoms which afflict the chronic dyspeptic. The giddiness, the tingling sensations, the confusion of thought, and even partial insensibility, which are not in frequently observed a few hours after meals in chronic dyspeptics, are due to this cause. Here is the explanation of the irascibility, the despondency, the pessimism, the indecision, and various other forms of m?nta! perver sity and even moral depravity, which are not infrequently associated with certain forms of indigestion. The to tal depravity which we often hear talked about, is, half the time, noth ine more nor less than total indiges tion. A Convincing Test. In the Far East the Japanese have won victories which have astonished the world. They show themselves to be more enduring, more resistant to the effects of wounds, keener witted. sharper in tactics, and quicker in exe cution than their Russian antagonists. The Jap is content with a simple diet of rice, peas, or beans, which is quick ly digested and converted into brawn and brairs, while the Russian must have his meat and his vodka. The same dietary, the same simplic ity and naturalness ’u habits of life, which give toughness ,'f fiber and en durance and immunity against infec tion, afford equal advantages in fight ing the battle of life in any direction. The brain worker who wants to keep his mental vision clear and desires power to pursue his subject with un ceasing energy, must keep his blood elfin by a pure, simple, natural diet. The lawyer, the clergyman, the busi ness man, the teacher, the investiga tor. the inventor, will find the same advantages in living in harmony with natural principles as does the plucky Japanese soldier, who is, for the first time, testing his metal by a great con test wiih an army of civilized men. Aicchol vs. Long Life. It is very easy to prove that the in fluence of alcohol, as of every other poison, is to shorten life. Dr. \\ illard Parker of New York, shows from sta tistics that for every ten temperate persons who die between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, fifty-one intem perate persons die. Thus it appears that the mortality of liquor users is five hundred per cent greater than that of temperate persons. These fig ures are based on the tables used by life insurance companies. Notwithstanding the constant pro test of both moderate and immoderate drinkers, that alcohol does not harm them, that it is a necessary stimulus, a preventive of fevers, colds, consump tion. etc., and the assertion of certain chemists that it is a conservative agent, preventing waste, and so pro longing life, the distinguished English actuary, Mr. Nelson, has shown from statistical data which cannot be gain said, that while the temperate man has at twenty years of age an aver age chance of living forty-four and one-fifth years, the drinking man has a prospect of only fifteen and one-ha!f years of life. At thirty years of ago the temperate man may expect thirty six and one-half years more of life, while the dram-drinker will be pretty certain to die in less than fourteen years. On the other hand, the Rechabite societies in England show statistics clearly indicating that total abstinence is in the highest degree Conducive to longevity. RECIPES. Savory Soup—Cook half o pint of small navy or soup beans in three pints of water for two hours, adding boiling water as needed. In a sepa rate kettle place two small parsnips, scraped and sliced, one good sized onion cut fine, two stalks of celery and half a can of tomatoes. Cover well with boiling water and cook until the vegetables are very tender; then add the beans and press all through a fine colander or soup-strain er. Return to the stove, simmer a moment, and just before serving, stir in slowly a cupful of hot cream or rich milk. A can of sweet corn may be substituted for the beans. As it takes less time, and may be put in with the other vegetables, it is some times preferred by the housewife who is her own cook. Spinach With Eggs.—Pick over end thoroughly wash the spinach; boil quickly until tender, but still bright green (if cooked uncovered it keeps its color better); drain, and press dry in a hot. square pan. Turn out on a hot platter, cut across and lengthwise to form squares. Place a nicely poached egg on the top of each square, and arrange slices of lemon around the edge of the platter, to h«. served with the spinach. A wooden or bone salad fork and a spoon are a help in serving. Cardinal Gibbons a Pedestrian. Cardinal Gibbons is a fervent ad vocate of pedestrianism as a means of prolonging life and of adding to health and vigor. His emlrsnce has passed the allotted span of Iiie, yet he does a ten-mile tramp almost every day of his life, only denying himself when the weather is most severe. To Baltimoreans ho is a familiar sight out for a jaunt, but strangers gener ally are astonished when told that the diminutive, somewhat shabby looking man. without one single exterior sign of hi3 dignity, is the illustrious churchman and scholar. He usually walks alone and it is a token of marked favor to be invited to join in Ljs rambles. Tea Growing in California. Some of the farmers near Santa * Rosa, Cal., are experimenting with tea growing, and their effort seem to be meeting with success. It is said that there is no reason why tea should not be grown in some sections of this country, though the earlier South Car olina experiment is not knowu to be making great headway. Bright Library Attendant, A man went into the general read ing room of the congressional library in Washington the other day to get I some specific data for a paper he was | writing. He told an attendant he wanted to find out something about papal bulls and asked if they had any record of anything of the kind. He had never been in the reading room before and did rot know the limita tions of some of its attendants. He selected a desk and sat down. At the end of half an hour the attendant re turned. ‘ I think, sir, ’ lie said, “you may find what you want here,” and he laid before him an agricultural de partment report opened at an article on cattle. Discovery of Pike’s Peak. Lieut. Zebulon Montgomery Pike, an officer in the United States army] discovered the famous peak Nov. 15, 1806.

He paused a moment to look at me in a half startled, half uncertain way; then resumed his pacing without a word be yond an abrupt “Good morning.” He carried an open letter in his j hand, and I noted that his face bore a strained, tense look and that it was perfectly pailid. Presently he stopped in front of me ; and flung himself dejectedly into the J chair opposite. After a second's hesi tation, he leaned over and thrust the ; letter into my fingers. “Read it, Dick, and for God's sake, tell me what I’m to do.” The letter ran; vuaruy nospuai, reo. i>. My Dear Mr. Thompson:—I have under my care, a patient in whom you will recognize the wife supposed to be dead for many years. Briefly, her story is this:— Seven years rgo, silt left your bouse in an impulsive n t ment—she says you will remembe; the details well enough—so I pas: them over. The only thing clear t her seems to be the recollection of heavy snow storm and the fact tha she was insufficiently protected from the biltei cold. She sat down on someone's doorstep to rest, after hours of distracted wandering. She realized then what she had done, but a sense of foolish pride kept her from 1 going hack. After that, her mind be- j came a blank, and so it has remained j through all these years—till now. If this letter reaches you. come at j once to the hospital. Mrs. Thompson | has so far recovered that she will be I able to return to her home within the i week, unless some unexpected compli- j cation ensues. Respectfully yours, Dr. L. S. Whiddon. P. S.—The above letter is written with yoiy wife’s full permission. L. 3. Y.r. I could not restrain a glance of compassion as I returned it to Thomp son. His face was like ashes and be trembled visibly from head to foor. My first thought was for poor little Elsie. Thompson must have divined this, for when he ne*t spoke, it was as though we had been just talking of her. He looked at me a moment with dry, pain-dark eyes before he spoke. “You will explain—this to her, old fel low? You know, you understand—you —you believe in my good faith, Dick, do you not?” He regarded me anx iously. Then, in a dull tone, he went on:—"Thank heaven I told you the whole story of my wife's strange de sertion of me—of her complete disap pearance into the world for many months—of the sudden intelligence I received of her death, and"—he broke off abruptly and walking over to an open window, stood for many minutes, looking down into the crowded street. “You never investigated the circum stances surrounding her death?” I asked after a pause. “The proofs I had. or thought I had, seemed incontestible enough,” he re lated despondently. "I mourned her sincerely and genuinely for long months after.” “My sister is too true and sensible a woman not to understand—every thing,” I said presently, "aud I—I hope I am too good a friend to doubt.” Thompson’s eyes flashed a quick gleam of gratitude into mine at this. r-I Pacing excitedly up and down. “Thank you,” ho said simply. Then after a silence, he continued, more | composedly now:—“It was all a mis- I take—a terrible mistake, that is all, the whole tiling arising. I suppose, from the—from my wife’s mental con dition. I advertised for her—to her. rather, continually—till the time of her supposed death. There was never the shadow of a response.” We were both a long time silent after that. Thompson was the first to speak. “Of course I can't see Elsie again—not now, any way—after what has happened. I—I couldn't bear it.” Even as he spoke, there was a hur ried little rap on his door, and the next moment, Elsie stood in the room. She had promised to meet me here at half past one; 1 had forgotten that. >aiiy Story Pub. Co.) She threw hack the veils from her glowing face and stood looking at us— trom one to the other. The keen, v inter wind had crimsoned her cheeks to the hue of pomegranate blossoms, and coaxed innumerable flecks of black brilliance into the gray irises of her eyes. Thompson stood silently by. For an imperceptible second, I caught his g'.ance, wistful, appealing—almost des perate. Neither of us could Koeak. Elsie’s glance of good-natured surprise changed to one of consternation. “Why—whatever is the matter with you two?” she demanded, almost sharply. “I half believe you've been quarreling or something.” Thompson took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to her without a word. She opened it slowly, trying hard to keep her hands steady and the color in her cheeks. Then, he bent --- “You will do your duty, Jack.” suddenly and laid his palm over the ; written words. "Don’t,” he said hoarse- I ly, "I’d rather tell you myself. She looked up at him dazedly, all the light dying out of her eyes as they recognized the tragedy in his. She sat quite still, almost statue-like, wait ing for him to speak. He hesitated a moment, then broke out passionately, the despair in him rushing to uncontrolled utterance: — “I have just learned that I have a liv ing wife—the woman who deserted me in a fit of petty temper—the woman wflorn I mourned as dead—whom I honored and cherished in my home while she made it hers! There’s no human law now to hold rae to her. There is a law that will give me my freedom. I—” Elsie interrupted him with a depre cative gesture. “There is a divine law.” she said in a tone of finality. Thompson did not speak for several seconds. Afterwards, lie said, dully: —"You are right in this—as in every thing. I shall, of course, do what is right.” “You will do your duty, Jack. I am sure of that.” she returned in a low tone. Elsie rose as she spoke, and a few moments later, we took our leave. At the foot of the steps, w'fe came face to face with a special messenger. “Mr. Thompson live here, sir?” “He does. Anything wrong?” its. wuumu jusi uicu at me Charity Hospital. She—” “Yes, I know. Three doors to the left,—up this flight.” Elsie had entered the coupe and was waiting for me. “To the Metropolitan Opera House,” I told the driver. She looked at me in hurt bewilderment. “Oh no—not there—not now!" she cried, a quick reproach leaping to her tear-blinded eyes. I took her hands in mine and held ! them close till she calmed herself. “Everything is ail right,” I said, then, “I have just found out that the woman—that she Is—dead. But this day, at least, belongs to him and—to her.” When We Did Not Care for Japan. When the first embassy from Japan arrived ia Washington a member of the Senate rose and said: “Mr. Presi dent, the first ambassadors from the venerable country of Japan are about to arrive. I move the Senate do now adjourn to meet and welcome the Jap anese.” Immediately another senator was on his feet, not to secord the mo tion, but to say sharply: “Mr. Presi dent, I humbly trust the Senate of the United States of America will not ad journ for every show that comes, along.” That settled it.—From Mrs. Roger A. Pryor’s “Reminiscences.” Hair-Splitting. Senator Beveridge was answering an argument. “The gentleman has been splitting hairs,” he said. “He has been trying to prove that two like things are dif ferent. He resembles the young lady who defended her sex’s reticence. “ ‘A woman can't keep a secret,’ some one said to thi9 young lady. “ ‘She can, too,’ the young lady an swered. ‘It isn’t the woman who gives away the secret. It is the people sue tells it to who let it out.’ ” I A MODEL YOUNG MAN. Sut It Was Business, Not Principle, With Him. “Didn't that hurt you, sir?1’ The clerical-looking gentleman in the rear eat of the trolley car turned inquir ngly to the nicely-dressed and clean cut ycung man who sat beside him, is tiiat individual winced slightly, for his foot had just been stepped on by i portly man who was leaving the car. "Yes, sir—it hurt very much,” he -aid simply. "I thought so,” said the clerical man. “Allow me to congratulate jou on your control. I observed with pleas ure, sir, that no oath sprang to your lips. Great pleasure to meet a young man like you. Have a cigar?” "Thank you, I don't smoke,” said the young man. “Splendid!” exclaimed the clerical interrogator. “I smoke myself,” he said, “because I lead a sedentary life. But I glory in a young man who doesn't. May I inquire, sir, if you know the taste of liquor?” “No, sir; never touched a drop.” His new friend clasped him by the hand. There were tears in his eyes. “Remarkable!” he exclaimed. *In these unregenerate days it is indeed scul-satisfying to gaze upon such a model. May I ask, my dear friend, what high motive impels you to ab stain from these influences, that are sapping the lifeblood from the na tion?” The young man smiled. “Certainly,” he replied. “The fact is, sir I find that I can’t dissipate and deal a faro bank at the same time.”— Collier's. VENISON WAS ALL RIGHT. But if It Had Been Beef He Would Have Called It Tainted. Gov. N. J. Bachelder of New Hamp shire does not believe in keeping ven ison. m the English fashion, for a month or more until it has turned green. ‘‘I like a piece of venison as well as any man.” he said recently, “but I want the meat to be fresh and sweet. I can't understand the English method of ‘hanging’ game till it has become quite putrid. “My private opinion is that most 1 eople don’t like game that has been hung'—I believe that they only pre tend to like it. They are like a man who sat near me in a New York res taurant one autumn day. "A dish of meat was set before this man, and I saw him taste it, give a ‘pwah’ of disgust and beckcn to the waiter. “ ‘Waiter.’ he said, ‘this steak is pos itively had. It must he three weeks cld.’ "The waiter looked at the dish. “ ‘Beg pardon,’ he said, ‘I have made a mistake, sir. I have brought you venison.’ “ ‘Venison?’ said the patron, with a gratified smile. ‘Ah, yes. Then you may leave it.’ “He took another mouthful of the meat. ” To he sure,’ he said, ‘it is veni son. and very nice, too; very nice, in deed.’ ” Struck Ground Again, At a small station in the north of Ireland an old man, carrying a carpet bag, and accompanied by an old wom an. evidently his wife, entered the train. It was apparent from their ex pressions of curiosity, mingled with anxiety, that this was their first rail way journey. The train started, and they both looked eagerly from the win dow, and as the speed increased a look of keener anxiety gathered on the old woman’s face. A few minutes later the train ran on to a long bridge, the sides of which could not be seen from the carriage window. With a little shriek the old worftan clutched her husband’s arm. Meanwhile the train sped onwards, ami was soon once more on solid earth. The old woman was quick to note the change. Her features relaxed, and she sank into her seat with the fervent exclamation: “Thank goodness, she's struck the ground again.” The Song of the Stars.

A Russian timber dealer has dis covered a valuable mine of oak. It is in a river of south Russia, in layers three or four feet deep, scattered over 150 square miles, and its most strik ing feature is its variety of colors, supposed to be due to the variegated soil of the river bottom. Not fewer than twelve shades of pink, blue, yel low and brown have been noted, each log having its own uniform shade. The- logs taken out have ranged from forty to 200 feet in length and from fifteen to twenty inches in diameter, and it is estimated that more than 150,000, averaging seventy feet, re main.

One box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills drove away all the pains and they have never returned. Speaking of his cure Mr. Albertson says: “I had Rheumatism in my shoulders and arms for years. Part of the time it was so bad I could not sleep at night. My arm hurt so that it seem ed I would have to give up my black smith shop. I went to the drug store and bought one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and took them. I have not had the Rheumatism since. A great many of the neighbors are using Dodd’s Kid ney Pills since they saw how they cured me.” The average person takes about 0.0003 grains of arsenic in his daily food.
