IMAGINARY DISEASE.
ILLS INTENSIFIED AND MORBID FAN
CIES HARD TO CURE.
of the Cawirmed
' driae Cancer nd Heart PUe n la the
SCiid A Case la a New Terk BespttaL
Cared la Fifteen Mlaatea.
The writer called on a number of prom
inent physicians and asked them if, among
their patients, they had many who imag
ined they had diseases which they did not
have.. Some very interesting information
was obtained. The doctors said it was
found to be a very common trouble, and
that the chief diseases these people im
agine they have are cancer, heart disease
and Bright's disease. . In tho language of
the profession, the complaint is known as
hypccbondriaslr
It was found that the disease is often
epidemic. At tho time of Gen. Grant's
sickness and death from cancer of the
throat, and during the illness of the late
Kaiser Fricdrich, hundreds of people with
. nothing serious at all the matter with
them called upon Dr. Shrady, who attend
ed Gen. Grant, and told him they had can
cer of the throat coming- on and wished
to be treated for it.
One celebrated physician, who made a'
special study of the disease, said that it
was worthy of note that in all these cases
the patient reasons correctly that is, he
draws just inferences from the error.
Thus tho Princo of Bourbon, when he
supposed himself to bo a plant, reasoned'
justly when he insisted .upon being
watered with the rest of the plants every
day. In like manner, the hypochondriac
who supposes himself to be dead reasons
with the same correctness when he
stretches his body and limbs 'on the bed
or a board and assumes the stillness and
silence of a dead -man.
The following is from the records of
ono of tho New York hospital's' house
surgeons:
"It was on July G that a man of small
stature, who was found afterwards to be
a shoemaker by trade; who was apparent
ly about 40 years of ago, escaped from his
home and was running at large in the.
streets of the city, lacerating his flesh
and beating his head against the sides of
houses.' A number of .citizens managed
to capture him. and they brought him to.
the hospital, followed by a big crowd.
With his arms tied behind him, and in
tho greatest agony, his face bruised and
swollen, his lips torn to pieces and
streaming with blood, ho was ushered
into tho hospital by those who had him in
charge. I met them at the door and in
quired into the case. The man was eager
to tell his own story, but. with difficulty
collected words to convey it. His lan
guage was copious, but his agitation so
great that he could ' hardly utter a sen
tence, being interrupted by constant
efforts to tear his lips to pieces. Those
with him knew nothing except that they
had prevented liim from beating out his.
own brains. At length he conveyed the
information where his distress was. and
upon which his mind was deluded. In
his upper1 lip ho said there was a worm
. gnawing his flesh and penetrating into"
itis body, and unless ho' could tear it out
tbe worm would boon be beyond his Teach
and inevitably destroy him.' This was
the canso of his misery. lie was assured
of tho possibility of relief, and with a
smiling countenance I pattod him on tho
shoulder end bade him no longer be un-
easy, for I would cut out tbe worm. Bis
eyes sparkled, and in an -instant ho re
plied. 'Will you? Do it then. Do it,
quick, for God's sake.'
"Ho was urged not to despair, for I
was now ready to remove the insect prey
ing upon his flesb. Accordingly,' we went
to the cells of the niodiacs. When being
heated ho fixed himself for the operation;
I paraded sis lancets en the table' before
him. By making a display of this and
other preparations and sending for assist
ance ho became composed, waiting with
patience the result. In the meantime I
had sent in search of .the worm. The
person sent, being unsuccessful; stayed
too long and 1 mimed out the door and
picked from tho ground one of the largo j
worms or caterpillars which Infested the
- poplar trees at that time and had fallen
from the trees-by the door. One iendof
the insect had been trodden upon, and it
was nearly dead. This I got, and on re
turning found my patient's uneasiness
increased. Bat upon seeing me take the
instruments ho fixed himself in the chair
and requested my assistants, the apoth
ecary and tho orderly man,' to hold his
hands lest ho should start whilo under
pain of the cutting instrument.
"With a lancet tho operation was begun.
1 pricked his lip with it, which' made him
flinch a little. Ho accordingly leaned
back his head firmly against the person
who stood behind him, and shut his eyes
tightly, and thus fixed ho boro the re
peated pricks of tho instrument with
steadiness and fortitude After pinching
his lip with ono hand and wounding It
with tho other, I cut off a portion of the'
upper lip which ho had torn with his
nails ana which was pendulous. I now
assured him that tho operation was nearly
completed, for tho head of the worm could
be Been. Tho bystanders cried out: "There -it
is! there it is! Ho raised eyes to see,
but was cautioned to bo still for one min
ute longer, at which ho -again shut his
eyes. I then gave him a severe pinch,
drew tho edge of tho lancet across the
lacerated lip. and exclaiming, 'I've got
him,' opened my baud and exposed the
great worm.
"The man rose from his seat and gazed
at the worm with astonishment beyond
utterance. At length ho spoke ana re
quested me to preserve it, for, he observed
with tranquillity, his friends had said he
was crazy, but this would be an evidence
to the contrary.
"Tho result of this deceptive operation
was a perfect cure, and this remarkable
change was effected in less' than fifteen
minutes after the patient entered the
hospital. "
Tho best doctors say that the causes of
the disease lie in conditions usually ob
ecurc. which lower die tono of tho 'gen
eral health or' depress the vitality of the
brain, either by physical wear or ynff1
worry. Disappointment, bad habits,
want of proper mental occupation, often
cause the trouble. The treatment con
sists in measures to improve .the general
health, especially a full -diet, carefully
selected; hydro-thcrapcatics, massage,
gymnastics, horseback - riding, walking,
rowing, abnndent and agreeable exercise
in the open air, end lbs management of
the patient's 6urronndings so cs to lighten
the mind and relievo from worry, perhaps
by travel or sea voyage.
Argument is commonly worse tTiti use
less, but -there should oca decided im
pression given that tha generally morbid
state is due to ill health. The risk of
suicide is so small that restriction of lib
erty directed to its prevention does more
harm than good. William Henry Hawley

Sane Xw Found Iadlaa Tribe.
The great table land of Matto Grosso.
in the western part of Brazil, is still one
of the least known portions of South
America. When Dr. Ciauss and Dr. von
den Stcinen penetrated it several -years
.ago. and followed the large Xingu'river
- from its head waters to the Amazon, they
floated down about 1,000 miles before they
-reached the known portion of tho river.
Thev did not have time to adequately
study the strange and unheard of Indian
tribes they met amid these dense forests
and barren uplands, and for the purpose
of making further researches among them
Dr. von den Steinen returned to the upper
Xingu last year. He visited the villages
of nine of these tribes, and in a recent
lecture in Bio de Janeiro he gave the in
teresting results of his studies.
There is hardly a corner of the earth
whose people have not had some inkling
of the great world beyond them. But
these primitive natives of .the upper
Xingu had, apparently, never seen a scrap
of trade goods or heard that human beings
existed outside their little circle of
observation. They use no metal imple
ments, but fell trees with stone axes to
clear the ground for their plantations of
Indian corn, cotton and tobacco. Wearing
shell ornaments, they' use hammers sad
nails of stone to perforate' them. They
asake knives out of shells and the sharp
teeth of a certain fish, and with these
Bsor'xnow. thev cure their rudely
merited stools and weapons.
Dogs and fowls are found in all parts of
the Amazon valley that have' been visited .
by traders, but these Xingu tribes have
never heard of them. Neither have they
any knowledge of the banana, sugar cane
and' rice, with which natives of the
tropical zone are generally familiar. They
have not the slightest conception of a
God, but they believe they will live again
after death. Their most important myth
relates to the creation of the world,
which, in their view, consists wholly of
the head waters of the upper Xingu and
Tapajos rivers.
From the languages and pottery of all
but one of these tribes the explorer de
rived the idea that these isolated peoples
are allied to the original stock of tho once
powerful Cariba.Who journeyed from the
south to the sea Onetribo differed so
greatly from all others that he was unable
to trace its relation to any other people.
These people are almost wholly-isolated
even from each other, and their languages,
though of the- same derivation, are so
dissimilar 'that the tribes cannot under
stand -each other. . Few people exist today
who are so primitive in their ideas and so
low in the social scale as these new. found
Indians of South America. New York

An Execution la Siasa.
In the center t)f the field two short
stakes had been driven into the ground,
and to these when the executioners had
finished their meal the prisoners walked
slowly outwithout any one to guard them.
On arriving at . tho - stakes they again
prayed; they sat down with their backs
toward the stakes, to which their arms
were tied, after which an official walked
put, blindfolded them with strips of. linen,
filled their ears with clay, and then re
tired with his assistants, leaving the con
demned men alone in the middle of the
field. About two minutes after the exe
cutioners walked out armed with Japanese
swords and sat down some thirty paces
-beyond the prisoners. . They sat .thus for
perhaps a minute; then rose and 'ad
vanced toward the doomed men, execut
ing fantastic dance like figures, almost as
if cautiously approaching an enemy, till
they came within striking distance, when
they raised their swords as if to strike,
but instead of doing so turned round and
retired to where they started from.. After
a short pause they advanced again in tho
same manner, but, on coming close,
stooped down and looked fixedly for about
ten seconds into the faces of the prison
ers, who sat perfectly motionless, and
then again retired. Tho third time they
advanced, ana. as in the first instance,
raised their swords as if to strike, but in
stead of doing so they turned round and
again retired. Then they knelt down,
anil, bowing toward the commissioner,
called out, in Siamese, that they awaited
his order.
On receiving tho word they advanced
toward the prisoners more quickly than
before, and when within reach, after
standing for a few seconds with their
swords poised in tho air. proceeded to cut
their heads off. Tho head of tho man
who had begged for his life was taken off
at three blows, but seven or eight- were
struck before tho head of the other an
immensely powerful looking man, with a
thick, muscular neck fell. ' Tho moment
the first man's head fell his executioner
ran off to a - temple close, by to perform
certain rites, the other executioner fol
lowing ns soon as his victim's head was
off. Chicago Herald. ' - -
Italians Not Good Soldiers.
Italians, tho veteran diplomatist goes
on to say, may become good diplomatists,
sound jurists and successful merchants,
but they will never be soldiers in the true
sense of that word. Take their" splendid
fleet of ironclads, for example, and mar
shal it in battle array against a French,
English, Russian or German squadron,
commanded by a French, an English, &
Russian or a German admiral, and the dis
aster of Lissa will be rehearsed over again.
Much of this incapacity for successful
military achievement is due to want of
training on the part of the officers. In
Italy there are many military schools that
are well attended; but in them, as in the
universities, there is a fatal' lack of sever
ity in tho examinations, and .once the
student has left school he is never after
ward seen with a book' in his hand.
It is for this reasjn that wc find the
officers in command of the Red Sea expe-'
ditiou committing precisely the same er
rors that their predecessors fell into in
18-19 and 18GG. The Italian officer seems
to be concerned about only one thing the
effect that he is producing on tLe women
aud on tho bystanders in general, and I
have seen veterans covered with decora
tions, who never forgot, before going Into
tho street, to arrange their hats and to
look into a glass. Paris Cor. JTew York

Good Advice to Speculator.
Speculation is a business that must be
studied as a specialty, and though it is
popularly believed that any man who has
money can speculate, yet tho ordinary
man, without special training in tho busi
ness,' is liable to make as great a mistake
in this attempt as the man who thinks ho
can act as his own lawyer and who is said
"to have a fool for a client." Tho common-
delusion that expert knowledge is
not required in speculation has wrecked
many fortunes and reputations in Wall
street, and is still very influential in its
pernicious and illusory achievements.
Professional advice in Wall street, as
in legal affairs, is worth paying for, and
costs far less in the end than the chief
' 'points" that are distributed profusely
around the street, thick as autumn leaves
in -ValLnabrosa, and which only allure
the innocent speculator to put his money
where he is almost certain to lose it. My
advice to speculators who wish to make
money in Wall street, therefore, is to ig
nore the counsel of the barroom "tippers"
and "tipplers," turn their backs on
"bucket shops," end when they want
"points' to purchase let them go to those
who know: Henry Clews in the Cosmo

Coatastooameas of Leprosy.
The contagiousness of leprosy still con
tines to be a mooted question. Dr. Rake,
superintendent of the Trinidad Leper
hospital, has made a report to' the British
Medical association which embodies the
results of his experiments in the cultiva
tion of the germ of leprosy, the bacillus
lepra?, which have been under way for tho
past four years. He .says that (1) at a
tropical temperature and on the ordinary
nutrient media he has failed to grow the
bacillus leprae; (2) in all animals yet ex
amined ho has failed to find any local
growth or general dissemination of the
bacillus after inoculation, whether be
neath the skin, in the abdominal cavity,
or in the anterior chamber; feeding with
leprous tissues has also given negative
results; (3) he has found no growth of the
bacillus lepno when placed in putrid fluids
or buried in the earth. He further says
that an inquiry of this kind is practically
endless, so varied are the conditions of
temperature, time, nutrient media, living
animal tissues, or putrescent substance,
and so many are tho observations neces
sary to avoid or lessen-the risk of errors
of experiment. Science.
la the Pretence of a Spore.
The scourge which makes readers of
telegraphic dispatches from Florida trem

we could build great fires in the streets

these flying spores into names; if we

AMID SEAS OF ICE.
SCENES AMONG THE GLACIERS
THE UPPER ENGADINE.
OF
-Haw "Clafiar Cava" 1
"Glader Tables Mealies..
As far as my vision extended there was
nothing in sight but ice and snow, and
the snow was exceedingly white, I assure
you. The drivensnow yon have in towns
and plains is a decided brown compared
with the dazzling snow we' saw up there
at the tops of Swiss mountains, forever
and forever this virgin- gown lies on all
the peaks, as it also covers the lower val
leys in whiter. It has the soft look of a
dove's breast, it rests on rocks thing of
beauty, and often it is very dangerous.
It falls in soft, pure flakes, clings to all
the projections, covers rocks with charm
ing traceries, and spreads itself 'like a
sheet pf. white satin over the upper vales.
But the touch of a passing eagle's wing,
the light weight of a chamois, or the
careful step of an expert climber will de
tach it from its crest and send it down.
Then- it goes sliding, rumbling along;
breaking and reforming as it falls, ever
increasing in volume and velocity, and,
pursuing its way, -becomes a devastating,
terrible avalancho that bends and breaks
trees, gathers up earth and stones, and
rolls into the Engadine with an awful
sound, spreading destruction and dismay
in its path. They call these sort of things
staubkiwuien, or dust avalanches, because
they consist -at the start of cold, dry, -powdery
snow only, and they are often
far more powerful, than a raging hurri
cane. But- tho .avalanches usually seen
lying in high Alpine valleys, covered with
dust, earth and stones and great trunks -of
trees, are known as grundlawinen or
compact avalanches.
It was a grand sight on which we gazed.
Glaciers filled 'every valley and ravine,
and tho ire stood up' in tall ramparts
wherever the space. was too. narrow to"
hold its' rigid waves. Glacier ice is snow
that has for. a considerable time been sub-'
jected to 'enormous pressure. ;If you
squeeze a snowball in your hand until it
is very hard it becomes icy. So in the'
Alps,:tke. continual fall of snow js the
pressure- and the sun's heat the warmth
which produces those seas pf ice that are
called glaciers.- There, are over 600 of
them iu Switzerland, and some are coeval
with the glacial period of this continent,
while others are now in .process of forma
tion. Winter-is their season of rest; but
with the spring they resume their onward
motion, .due to the combined action of
heat and gravitation. For. in spite of their
apparent immobility all Alpine glaciers do
move constantly, although with different
degrees of speed, and, like liquid streams,
they carry with them debris of all sorts,
but principally the stones- that fall on
their surface from the mountains' sides.'
Tho' glacier .starting in its purity from
soihio white unsullied peak, loses 'before
many years its spotless character'. Tho
wintry frosts "gathering" into iron .bonds
the streams that trickle down tho moun
tain sides expand tbe water in. freezing,
and shatter rocks with a- force that the
most solid -cliffs cannot possibly resist.
Thus broken fragments drop on to the
once unspotted bosom of the -ice sea and
swell its burden with advancing years.
The debris thus brought down form what
are called moraines.' Each glacier has a
moraine on cither side of it; its end is a
terminal moraine, and when two glaciers
unite their lateral moraines join and form
a medial moraine. One of the largest
medial moraines hereabout I saw as we
came down from this excursion: - It is in
the center of the Morteratsch Glacier and
is about fifty feet or more broad and. per
haps twenty feet high In its' center.
We wero struck by tho- infinite-whiteness
of everything, and I have since -learned
that it is owing to the presence of
glacier corn. There is . on glacier clad
mountains a neve, or finely crystallised
snow, which is never fully melted, and
this is the' pressure that forms' the glacier
ice. Now, glacier ico is quito different
to that which results, from freezing
water, and is found to consist of crystals
varying in size from that of a hen's egg
to a pin's head; these particles are known
as granules or glacier corn, and iu minute
holes air is .imprisoned. 'Where the air
bubble are absent the glacier has a blue
ish tint, and is no longer -that pure white
which puzzles so many persons. With
the oldest guide carefully leading the
way. we walked over the ice sea of- Dia
volezza. Before wo had gone fat on its
level surface I saw bowlders supported, at
some height on ice pedestals and I stopped
to examine them. "Glacier tables," said
the guide at the tail end of our proces
sion, but his remark conveyed no - useful
information. I soon saw that they re
sulted from the presence of a block of
stone. It had fallen on the' sea, and had,
so to speak, protected the ice directly be
neath It from the heat of the sun. In
consequence, while the glacier all round
has been dissolving and sinking, the ice
under these bowlders has but slightly,
melted, and.gradually a pillow is forming
under each rock.
"But tho bowlder is not balanced evenly
on the top," observed tho Boston lady.
It was explained to her that because the
sun is able to reach these ico pedestals
more freely on tho south side than on the
north the thing naturally inclines toward
the 'south. As we walked along we
noticed a' lino of sand covered .mounds
about four or five feet high and culminat
ing in a sharp' ridge. We scraped off a
littlo of the sand and earth and found
that a mound was composed of ice which
looked quite black-when it was uncovered.
The reason for the existence of these
cones was obvious. The ice protected by
the sand had remained unmelted, and the
wind had thinned the drifted heap into
a pointed shape. Suddenly we heard a
cracking sound. which was accompanied
by a noise like that of a.distant explosion,
and tho guide said this' announced the
formation of another crevasse. Presently
the sound of falling water, which grew
louder and louder as we approached, was
heard, and soon wo reached a point where
a stream dropped down a shaft in the ice
and was lost to sight. The guide called
this deep hole a tnoulin, and ho gently re
marked that a falso step in its direction
would take a fellow down beyond all
human aid. Agassiz and Tyndall both
tried to ascertain tho thickness of glaciers
by taking soundings down these moulins.
The former found no bottom at 800 feet
on one sea and on another ho estimated
the thickness ct l,W) feet. Cor. New

Consequence of Phyfttaal Inertia.
An American business man appears to
be born with a disinclination to walk.
I have seen half a dozen at a time 6taml
around the entrance to a hotel elevator,
wasting several minutes in waiting for
the machine to come for them rather than
mount one flight of steps. As a conse
quence of this physical inertia most busi
ness men of the present day havo weak
muscles, and especially weak hearts, so
that should they be obliged to exert
themselves to even a slight degree their
limbs become exhausted and tremble like
"a reed shaken by the wind," their respi
ration becomes hurried and difficult, and
their pulses beat at. tho rate of 123 u min
ute, or even more.
It is only necessary to stand at the cor
ner of a street through which a street
railway passes and to watch the men and
women leaving their homes directly after
breakfast, arid running a hundred feet or
so at the top of then speed to catch an
approaching car, as though it was the
only one by which they could go down
town, and their lives depended on getting
Into that particular vehicle. How they
pant and blow and turn red in the face,
and gesticulate wildly at the conductor
and drop into their seats thoroughly ex
hausted from the comparatively slight
exertion into which they nave been forced
by their love of business! Many minutes
elapse before they recover their mental
and physical equanimity. Not a year
passes that the newspapers do not record
several deaths that have occurred from
this practice, and which would not take
place if the subjects had been in the
habit of taking sufficient muscular exer
cise. In such people the heart is sud
denly subjected to a strain to which it is
not accustomed, and it gives way in the
effort to accomplish the work required of
it. I -venture to sav that of those who
reaa tnese -oDeervations not one in ten
can ascend the steps of an elevated rail
way station as slowly as he pleases with
out having the action of the heart nearly
doubled in frequency. A rapidly beating
heart is almost invariably a feeble heart.

Cyclist Dawn m M eaatate Side.
The long seven -mile coast began. The
road wound down around horseshoe curves
and loops without number, and as it was
on the east side of the smaller valley
which led down at right angles to the
Rhine valley I had to ride on the outer
side of the roadway in order - to be on the
right side. At first, in turning 'some of
the sharp' curves to the left where I could
see nothing ahead but air and the hills of
Switzerland twenty miles away, I slowed
up some; for the road was visible for only
twenty or thirty xeet aneaa, ana where it
went to then I 'was -totally ignorant, -but

faster and faster.
One finger was' sufficient ' on the brake
at first;- but ' after a few.miles that ono .
began to' get cramped and two fingers
were applied! Then tho -brake spoon
began to get hot', but still I could not see
the foot of the mountain. 'About half
way down -the water of the Rhine began
to show itself over the edge of the road
as I came to those sharp turns to the
left, and then I knew whero the bottom
was.'- It actually seemed that; if I went
straight ahead. I should land in the river,
how many hundred feet' below my blurred,
eyes could not clearly discover. Once I met
a team and yelled; but the oxen were-on
their own side and-1 went by them with a
rush all right. - Another.- time; ' some
children saw mo coming' and ran down
tho sides of tho mountain scared out of
their wits.. Still I went like the wind
over the same steep grade and smooth
road down from top to bottom,-without
mishap, but with a feeling I never before
experienced in coasting that I was glad I.
-was at the bottom. How long it'took m
to come down I do not know, but I waited
six minutes at the base for tho English-.

To Keep the Eyes Beast If al. -To
have beautiful sightly eyes, we must
have strong, sound ones, and avoid all
causes of norm. Never read; write or
work with tho light from a window in
front of the eyes. Artisans injure their
sight past recovery by working at a bench
directly -in front of a window, when they
should bo placed 'with- the. back to it:
The light in front falls into the eye,
which contracts to lessen what it cannot j
bear, with the invariable result of weak
ened sight. Lamps,- gas jets and student
lamps are often placed ." so near the head
as' to heat the eyes injuriously.. The sim
plest shadejstpps this by making a current
of air between itself, and the lamp.
I quote from Dr. Jeffries' highly interesting-pamphlet
on "Our Eyes and Oar
Industries.- He speaks very decidedly
on the injury to the eyes of wood engrav
ers in cutting from photographs on the .
block, making the blurred and misty pict
ures "too familiar in papers and magazines.
Tho work is cheaper, but, oculists find,
most destructive to the eyes, and the better-class
of engravers either refuse such
work or raise thou prices, nearly double.
Tho wear and tear comes of looking con
stantly from the photograph to the orig
inal picture hung before it and continually
changing the focus of the eye, I am glad
to know this has awakened attention, for
I know .that' looking at the soft, blurry
wood cuts is verv trvincr to sensitive eves.

Now to the battery are attached three
wires. Two of them have handles at the
ends, and tho third is. hitched to a for

handle to hold in each hand, and the cur
rent is turned on gradually until it be
comes painful. Then he is told to grasp
the handles as strongly as possible, the
electricity having been switched off for
a moment is turned on again suddenly,
.and the dental surgeon applies his forceps
simultaneously to the tooth. The Instant

parts surrounding, becomes electrified and

disagreeable sensation. A jerk and the

The process of making the "cream" is
identical hi both wholesale and retail es
tablishments. Confectioners' sugar is.
first boiled until it becomes a thick and
waxy syrup. It is then turned out on
slabs and allowed to partially cool. "In
"the retail establishments it is then worked
with wooden paddle's until tho grain is so
'stretched that the mass is resolved into a
soft, snowy compound, ready for the
flavors or to be mixed with fruit or nuts.
In the wholesale factories 160 pounds of
clear syrup is turned out on a slab at one
tune. When it has cooled enough to work,
a candymaker stations himself at either,

Together the two workers turn and turn
the hardening sugar until it. is white.
Then it is packed away hi big Iron recep

to keep it from hardening,
This cream is the basis of all the finest
grade candies in the market. It is in the
manufacture of this cream that dealers

that of America to the highest standard
hi the world. Candy is not made in such
vast quantities in any other land. Tbe
famous confections of the Orient are not
to be compared, either in quality or quan
tity, with those of the United States.
Eastern compounds are largely of tha
nougat order and made hi smallquanti
ties. Armenian Greeks offer Turkish
paste along State street every day for
sale. It is turned out in a big cone ex
actly as it is cooled in the pot. It is sold
in slices. It is after this same fashion
that the confections of the east are all
made. French bonbons do not suit the
'American palate. They are' not distinct
flavors as a rule. Instead, they are a con
glomeration of flavors so mixed as to
make subtle but Intangible" flavor that
can be attributed neither to fruit nor
flower. Chicago Herald.

i'V.'c iiiACHSD THE VERY BEST
Oar rroncaess- to noaor Caatoau
Practices Si jn!y Uceaaae Everybody
Cee How Mueb Is Seasonable
Bow Mneh'I Merely Arbitrary?
Every human being grows up inside a
sheath of custom, which enfolds it as the
swathing clothes enfold the infant. The
sacred customs of one's own early home,
bow fixed and immutable they appear to
the child! It surely thinks that all the
world in all times has proceeded on the
same lines whicL bound its tiny life. It
regards a breach of these rules (some of
them, at least) as a wild step in the dark;
leading to unknown dangers. The elders
have always said (and, indeed, it seems
only reasonable) that by this, time' of day
everything has been so thoroughly worked
over that tho best methods of ordering'
our life food, dress, domestic practices,
social habits have long ago been deter
mined. If so, why-these divergences hi
the simplest and most obvious matters?
And then one thing -after' another gives
.way. The sacred, world wide customs in
which we are bred turn out to be only
the practices of a small or narrow caste or
class; or they, prove to be confined to a
very limited locality, and must'be left be
hind when we sot out on our travels; of '
they belong to the tenets of a feeble sect;
or they are just tho products of one age
hi history-and no other.
Are there really no "natural boundaries?
Has not our. life anywhere been founded,
on reason and necessity, but only on arbi
trary customs? What is more important
than food, yet in what human matter are
there more arbitrary divergences of prac
tice? The -Scotch Highlander flourishes
on oatmeal, which tho English Sheffield
iron worker would rather starve. than eat;'
tho fat snail which the Roman' country
gentleman'on'ce so-prized now crawls un
molested in English or American gardens;
rabbits are tabooed in Germany; frogs are
unspeakable .in England; sauerkraut is
detested 'in France; many races and
gangs of. people are quite certain they
would die if deprived of meat; others
think spirits of 6ome kind a necessity,
while .to others again both these things
are an abomination. -
AXD YET, WHY KOT? '
Every district has its local practices In
food, and tho" peasants, look with the
greatest suspicion on any new dish, and
can rarely .bo induced to" adopt it. Though
it has been abundantly proved that many"
of the fungi are' excellent eating, such is
the force of custom that .the mushroom
alone is ever publicly recognized, while
ouriouslyenough.it is said that in some
other countries where the claims of other
agarics are allowed ' the mushroom itself
is- not used.- Finally, I feel. myself (and
tho gentlo reader probably feels the same):
that I would rather dio than subsist on
insects, such is the deep -seated. disgust
we experience toward this class of food.
Yet - it i3 notorious, that many races of
respectable people adopt a diet of this
sort, and only lately a book has been pub
lished giving a detail of excellent proven
der of tho kind we habitually overlook
nasty morsels of caterpillars and beetles,
and so forth.
And; indeed, when ono comes to think
of it, what can' it be but prejudice which .
causes one to' cat tho periwinkle and re -ject
tho land snail, or to prize the lively
prawn and proscribe the cheerful grass
hopper? Why do we sit on.chairs instead
of on the floor, as - the Japaneso do, or on
cushions like the Turks? It is custom.
u:k1 perhaps it suits with our other cus
toms. The more we look into our life and
consider the immense. variety of habit in
every department of it-ven under conditions-to
all appearances -exactly similar
the more' are we impressed by the ab
. sence of . any serious necessity in the
forms -we ourselves are accustomed to.
Each race, each class, each section of the
population, each, unit even, vaunts its
own habits of life as superior to the rest,
as the only true and legitimate forms;
and peoples and. classes will go to war
with each other in their assertion of their
own special belief and practices, but the
question that rather presses upon tho in-'
geuUous and inquiring mind is whether
any of us have got hold of much true life
at all. Home Journal.
- Berne and Its Bean.
Every one. Immediately- associates the
mention of Berne with bears. The con!
of arms consists of one of these animals,
and everywhere and on everything they
appear in stone and in wood, carved and
painted, and alive" in the pits, where they
have been maintained' at tho expense of
the government from time immemorial.
Fountains are ornamented with bears; if
the fountain itself is not a bruin, one is
sure to be found in the vicinity. -A statue
of Berthold von Zohringen surmounts a
watering trough, and by him stands a
small bear with a sword hanging by its
side and acting the part of helmet bearer..
Sunday afternoon the entire populace, old
and young, dress in gala attire and visit
the pits. A double row is formed around
the railing; each person purchases carrots
or bread to throw the pets, whose ele-
Ehantine-Uke gambols provoke shouts of
raghter from the surrounding multitude.
They really are most amusing animals.
A deep'tank is in the center of the den,
and while wo wero present a regular
wrestling match took place between two
hoary old fellows, 'in which tho great
struggle was to throw one another .into
the water. At last one succeeded In giv
ing his opponent a thorough ducking, and
then sat on the brink eyeing his defeated
adversary," his head on one side, and rub:
binghis Immense paws, apparently with
the 'greatest enjoyment. One of the
lookers on declared that he grinned and
chuckled, but serious doubts may be en
tertained as to the veracity of that state
ment. Baltimore American.
. newspaper Enterprise "Oat West."
The successful western newspaper is,
above all- things, enterprising, and this
quality, now so wonderfully developed, is
a legacy, from the pioneer . press. The
special telegraph wires of today from
Cincinnati and Chicago 'to New York,
Washington and important nearby cities
had their prototypes in the pony expresses
and special messengers of the pre-railroad
end ante-telegraph. times. And it re
quired more courage and pluck to send
out tho latter than to put in the former.
This enterprise displayed itself in many
startling ways, as it does today. It ad
apted itself to surrounding circumstances.
When Denver, in 1859, was but a collec
tion of tents, xtid shanties and corrals on
Cherry creek, end tho nearest United
States peetoffice was at Fort Laramie, 220
miles away, when the mails arrived but
once or twice a month, and were uncer
tain at that, and news from "the States'
came only at long and irregular intervals,
the editor of The Rocky Mountain News
was the one who sent a messenger to Fort
Istramie to bring back, in spite of the suf
fering aini hardships the journey entailed,
amnio load of letters end eastern news
papers. And his readers, with that gen
erosity that has always distinguished
western newspaper constituencies, showed -their
appreciation of Ms enterprise in a
substantial manner. Z. L. White in
Harper's Magazine, -
THE LESSON OP THE LEAVES
Ok thou who bearest on thy thoughtful face
The wearied calm that follows after grief.
See how the autumn guides each loosened le-f
To mire repose in its own sheltered place.
Ah. not forever whirl they in the race
Of wild forlomness round the gathered sheaf.
Or, hurrying onward in a rapture brief,
Spin o'er the moorlands into trackless space!
Some hollow captures each; some sheltering waB
Arrests the wanderer on its sltnlms way;
The autumn pensive beauty needs them an.
An i u-inter rinds them warm, though sera aae
gr7
They nurse youeg blossoms for the spring's
sweet call.
And shield new leaflets for the burst of May.
-.Thomas Wentwoith Higgiasoa In The Century
- . Nevada Xlaera Dyad Greem.-
A contract has been let on the Martin
White mine, at Ward, 'Nov., and work is
to be resumed forthwith. A queer phe
nomenon is connected with the working
of the Martin White ore. The ore .is very
base, and it is necessary to. roast the
whole of it. During the roasting process
no deleterious or disagreeable fumes are
eoservauta, jre uo wur anu dm minis or
all the awemgaged about the works are
aoon dyed a bright and permanent green
Even the eyebrows of the workmen are as
green as grass.' In scores of Nevada
mines ores of various kinds are smelted
and roasted, but at none of them ia either
the hair or beards of ' the workmen
changed from their natural hue. It is said
there Is less amenta In the ore of the Mar
tin White than in that of many other
mines. Old smelters -say arsenic has no
inch effect on the hair, and ail declare
v.hat the emerald hue imparted to the hair
is due to the presence of some unknown
and mysterious metal or mineral. White
light and sandy beards and hair take a
grass green, whereas black or dark brown
hair is dyed a deep bottle green. The hair
is not injured by its change of color. It
retains its original softness and strength.

ef-Real Farce.
Contrary to general belief, then. -the
man. of real force, is never a' bully, is
never arbitrary or unjust, is never pas
sionate, though he -may be, and generally
is, aggressive, and may. as'- occasion . re
quires, give exhibitions of temper that is.
nevertheless, kept hi perfect control.
Force of character brings with it' self re
liance and an. imperturbable manner.
Just as the really courageous man re
mains cool In the presence of danger, the
self reliant man keeps his temper under"
E revocation because he feels confidence in
imself. The coward grows excited and
loud mouthed to conceal his real feelings.
Tho arbitrary man, accustomed to .force
his views upon others, loses confidence hi
and' control of himself when he falls to
make his usual impression. It is at such
a moment that real force of character be
gius to tell; it is theuthat the self con
tained and self respecting .man dictates
his terms and asserts his power. Balti-'

- Tbe Seaworthiness of Momltors.
The seaworthiness of the monitors has
been thoroughly tested. The old Monad
.nock rounded Cape Horn hi 1866 and be
haved admirably in the long seas of tho
Pacific ocean. Soon after' the civil war
t lie' old Miantonomoh made a cruise to
Europe, encountering heavy weather.
Tho seas would come over, bow and stem
four feet deep at times, but pass off
quickly without even' preventing the uso
of her guns. She rolled but ? degrees,
while the two ships accompanying her
rolled 20 to 80 degrees. In the report of
this' cruise by Assistant Secretary Fox we
find: "A vessel which attacks a monitor
in a seaway must approach very close to
havo' any chance of hitting such a low
hull; and even then the monitor is half
the time coveredup- with three or four
feet of water, protecting herself and dis
turbing her opponent's fire." American

. " Woauia's Relief.
"Earth hath no sorrow that heaven
cannot heal," whether .arising from
physical, mental or moral sources.- Th?
promises and consolations of the gospel
furnish abundent remedies for all spirit
ual or mental woes, and the Creator has
stored, in the kingdom of Nature, reme
dies for every physical ailment; For
ages these remedies were allowed to lie
dortnent, through the ignorance of man
kind as to their uses, and for ages more
but little attention was given to reine- -dies
for the peculiar afflictions of wo
man, who was looked upon and treated
as a slave by lordly, then brutal man,
and her suffering regarded with beastly
indifference. In later times, silence and
Christian philantropy have come to her
relief, devising remedies for her peculiar,
weaknesses, which have been combined
in Dr., Pierce's Favorite- Prescription, a
remedy that cures the pains, acher,
nausea, displacements, wasting and de
bilitating afflictions to which she is con
stantly exposed. "Favorite Prescrip
tion" is the only medicine for women,
sold by druggists, under a positive guar
antee from the manufacturers, that it
will give satisfaction in every' case or
