NEW YORK Olir BY DAY Some of the Things Done Daily in th; Metropolis. Fall Mm].- Him Speechless. One of the most remarkable pa tients that has come under the ob servation of the physicians of St. Francis Hospital. Jersey City, is a man who cannot tell who he is, al though he is in a normal physical condition. When at work a few days ago in the cooperage of Day & O'Donnell, on 8ussex Street, the man had a se vere fall and was made speechless. At the Hospital everything was done to restore speech, but to no effect. The man seems clearly to under stand what Is said to him, but Is not able to respond. Paper and pencil have been placed In his hands and he has been asked to write his name and address. Apparently he made efforts to comply with the request, but these only resulted in a lot of hieroglyphics He comprehends questions and tries to talk, ills lips move and he mumbles something Incoherently. Brain specialists have been railed from the hospitals of New York to examine the patient. Poured Acid On A Morse. Isaac Dietschman, 64 years old, was accused ip Special Sessions of pouring two ounces of muriatic add on a borse owned by a business rival, Louis Wallman.

Wallman got the contact. So Incensed was Deitschman at his rival that he bought a two-ounce vial of muriatic acid and poured the con tents over the back of Wallnian's horse, which was standing in the street. Wallman and a score of other men witnessed the act, and saw the horse writhe In agony and fall to the street. The crowd fell upon Deitschman and beat htm. Jus tice McKeon sent Deitschman to the Tombs for 30 days. Pancakes And Lemons.

Very little idle machinery is noticed In the factories and mills, except where the supply of labor and raw ma terials Is Insufficient, and the vigor ous demand for all commodities Is Indicated by the highest level of prices In recent years. Textile mills are opeating a large percentage of the available machin ery, although the Inadequate supply of labor continues to be a drawback Liabilities of commercial failures reported for November are $11,980. 782. compared with $8,866,789 a year ago.

I i I ? . Things to Live For 11, By Charles Hoper. ?????????^ S It not worth living when you ran uiov?- about with all jour S senses alert, anions the beautlea and wondws of Nature"' ? ? What a Joy and iirlde It la to the young child when It can X I X manage to atand erect, and exercise Its strength by locomo X X ,,on' TU'? J?y I" our powers should Increase as we attain manhood How wc cherish the memory of the snow ? capped mountains, the pine-scented woods, the roar of mighty waterfalls, and the blue depths of ocean, which we have once seen In our travels! How the restful summer holiday by the seaside or in the quiet country lingers with us as u dream through the whole twelve months until we can get away again! To stand on some eminence In I the early morning, and to watch the gray light of dawn creep up the sky and 1 diffuse itself over the face of nature, until the great flery sun appears above ' the horizon and proclaims the day, Is something to live for. To hear the birds awaken in the woods, and to mark the growing crescendo of their voices until ( they burst forth Into a glorious song, is to be lifted up into an ecstatic state , which must be much like heaven itself. The year Is waning; winter will soon | strip the trees and hedgerows bare, and send the flowers Into a deathlike sleep < We, too, shall feel the pinch when the frost binds in icy chains the fallow and < ike flood; but will it not be worth living to see the earth awaken once more, i and see It dress Itself in Its fresh green liveries? to watch the flowers peep up j their heads of beauty, and to listen to the birds mating once again in songs of j love? to once more put seeds into the ground, and with fresh hope wait for the i , harvest of flowers and fruit and corn? How ake the Heart Strong v By G. Elliot Flint V k'V" 0HE kind of exercise one should take for his heart's sake is extremely important As I have already said, exercise, to afTed the heart sufficiently, must he vigorous, though not too vigorous. Ordinary walking, while healthful, falls short of this requirement. That calisthenics and light exercises gen orally are also deficient in this respect is proved by the fact that, while all humankind naturally indulge in light exercis es, yet heart ailments are prevalent among them. Every one that is not bedridden walks more or less; and I have read learned articles which try to prove that walking Is the only exereiBe man re quires. But. if a man never runs, he could not, if he would, run fairly fa6t , even a half-mile. So the argument is in effect that a man need not be able to run. I cannot agree with this conclusion; for walking at a moderate pace af fects heart action onlj slightly. Running, of all exercises for the heart. Is, 1 think, the best. Of course, one who has a weak heart cannot immediately run either fast or far; nor Is it necessary for the average individual to learn to run great distances at a high speed. But every one owes It to his health to be able to run, without distress, say a half-mile at a fair pace. Let him begin by jogging one-eighth or one quarter of a mile, then a half-mile, which distance he may ultimately run rea sonably fast.?The Outing Magazine. rill'Balanced Women | By Pastor Charles IVagner. J AVE you observed how some people always have these words | ? ? - I on the top of the tongue, "If I were rich?" When they are T m _ T died upon to give to some generally useful work, they say, X U X "If I were rieh I would give so much and so much!" Failing if! H J that, they give a ridiculous amount, very much below what * * X they might give. Experience proves that this sort of people ?-?-- T In general are of very little use to any one. They are the ? ?l I I 11 1 t? discontented and the selfish ones, and are actuated by the most evil spirit. In saying, "If I were rich." they blame those who are rich, and accuse them of a want of generosity. On themselves, however, they bestow the gratuitous brevet of liberality. If they were rich they would give by handfuls! IJke to these ill-balanced minds are the women who go about saying: "It . I were a man I would do thus and so!" "if I were a man I would not permit this one or that one to do this or that injustice!" etc. Nine times out of ten these women are contented with the easy role of critic, but the good they do is nil. Does the wren say, "If I were a nightingale I would sing at night?!" No! She Is a wren and sings in the daytime and at her very best. Do likewise, i young ladies! Do not waste your time In regretting that you are not men, but show us what may be done by a woman who is a real woman, a good womau, a woman after God's own heart.?Harper's Bazar. Germany, America, >K . . . England ... | By Arthur Shadwell '??i HE Industrial expansion of Germany has been achieved bj T equally hard work, but the advt nturous audacity and rest j less Bearch for novelty of America have been replaced t I by steady and watchful effort. The industrial population has Ta" not been left to cave out its own destiny, but has been gutd ed and helped at every step. "Laisser fatre" or "Manches terthuni," as they say in Germany is dead; ordered regula ii tion is accepted and applied with infinite pains by the legls iature. government departments, municipalities and private citltens. It is seen not only in the scientific tariff, but in the careful and judi clous factory code, the state system of Insurance, the organization of traffic and transport by railway and canal, the fostering of the mercantile marine, the education provision, municipal action and poor-law administration. So the ed iflce has been built up four-square and buttressed about on either side. England shows traces of American enterprise and of German order, but the enterprise is faded and the order muddled. They combine to a curious travesty in which activity and perseverance assume the expression of ease and Indolence. The once enterprising manufacturer has grown slack; he has let the business take care of itself, while he Is shooting grouse or yachting in the Mediterranean. That is his business. i Tickling Human Vanity h\ By Wilbur Larremore. <jj Wish ii? BW people realise how profitable the trade of tickling human F vanity la, anil how many different forms It employs.

The divorce proceedings of Mrs. Merrill Beecher Mills, wife of the Detroit and New York yachtsman nn.l millionaire stove manufacturer, will he made several degrees more interesting by the allidavits which are being collected at Ashville. The fight between husband and wife, each of whom has an independent fortune, has become so bitter that witnesses are guarded and thousands of dol lars. it is declared, are being spent by detectives on each side. A commissioner began taking tes timony in the suit ease against Com modore Mills in Detroit nearly two mouths ago, ami the end is not yet. Mis. Mills declares she will spend all of her share of the fortune of the Eddy family, of Michigan, before she will surrender her 3-year-old daughter Cynthia to Mr. Mills.
