WHAT CURED HIM
Chlters had no definite occupation,
iwt his nerve* were shattered. That
was Ills occupation.
"What do you think Is the matter!"
pays he to Andrew Ijeecb.
"Do yon driuk tea," asked the doc
tor, eylug him Inqulsitorlally—"after
noou tea V
"Yes." says Chlver* anxiously.
"\N'ltll cream V
"Why, yes."
"That'a tbe mischief. It Is the cream
tbat Is wrecking your gastrlca, irty
friend."
Off goes poor Chlver* at once to IMr.
Ilolus Mcdorge.
'Doctor," aays he. "I'm feeliug very
poorly. Should you aay. now, tea was
Ixul for me?"
"My dear air, that de|>euds. Take
plenty of creniu with your tea, aud It
will do you 110 great barm."
Chlver* then looks In on the cele
brated homeopath. Dr. Dodgem, quite
tbe rising man on digestion, you know.
"l»octor, pray tell me (he truth sltout
tea!"
"Tea!" says I>odgcin. "Tbe most In
sidious of itolsous!"
"What—with plenty of creamT"
"Wltb or without. Nothing can make
It wholesome."
Olivers took to coffee. As he felt no
better, he consulted Katlerplasm, M.
D„ the family doctor, who asked blin
cheerily:
"Eujoy your food? Sleep sound?"
"Neltlier," says poor Cblvers.
"If yon slept, you'd eat. Do yoti
drink coffeeT'
"I do In preference to tea."
"At night?"
"Yea."
"Just so. It's coffee keeps you awake.
Wsnt of sleep naturally weakens the
stomach."
80 he left off coffee and took cocoa.
Cblvers bad never smoked, but now
he felt a sort of craving that he could
not allay, and, a friend offering blm a
cigarette, lie tried It, and It seemed to
do him good, but bis uppetlte did noit
Improve. He fancied be slept a little
lietter, but he couldn't quite decide, so
he called In Dr. No. fi and explained
his sad case.
"Ih> you smoke?" said the great spe
cialist, whose ncute nose hail detected
a faint aroma of tobacco while feeling
bis pulse.
"Ye*. Ia It laid?" Inquired the In
valid.
"Bad! At* yon aware that Sir Ben-
Jauilu Brodie proved that a few drops
of tbe liquid sediment of the noxious
weed would Instautly destroy n full
grown eat?"
"But—but," urged Cblvers, "I'm uot
a full grown cat.' K '
"Ulve up tobacco!"
Cblvers gave It up. But lie still felt
very low. He thought he would ask
old Kutterplasui. M. I)., the family
practitioner, to dinner aud confide to
blm Ills perplexity- 110 tea, no coffea,
no tolmcco, aud getting weaker every
day!
"Oh. take a glass of wine! You're
feeling 'run down.' You waut a fillip.
Take two glasses once In awhile."
Cblvers took two and felt better, but
the next day he received a pamphlet
Issued by the Society For tbe Total
AiHilitlou of Hops aud Wines, which
proved that Indulgence In alcohol
tempted tbe best men to commit crimes
of violence aud hurried thousands Into
lunatic asylums.
Then Chlver* met a friend who |ier
suaded him to become a vegetarian,
after which he declined more rapidly
than ever.
""Come ttp to Scotland, old man. A
little yachting around tbe Hebrides
do you all the good In the world; sen
air, you know."

she wits fast sinking, they had Just

The weather was fairly good, but
there were six hours oMiard rowing be

Well, that wreck cured Cblvers. Aft
ter seven hours' buttling wltb n strong
current that set out to sea the ship

gers' "shanty," as be called bis elegant

had lieen prepared. Including a fine
Scotch leg of mutton, boiled with cu
por sauce. Cblvers forgot tbat he was
a vegetarian.
"Lord, how dry rowing makes one!"
be exclaimed, und they filled blm up n
foaming lienker of brown ale. Clilvers
forget that be was a teetotaler and
drank it off.
As they sat by the log fire Sloggers,
Balson and Batoon lit up and offered
Chlver* a cigar. He forgot the doc
tor's warning about tobacco and smok
ed It. Later on they Joined the ladle*

"All yon want are fresh air, an active

"Did you suggest to the president any

the civlllxed world, lias been In the
colonial sen-Ice of fireat Britain for
nearly forty years. During Ills resi
dence In the Island, It Is said, he has
contrived to render himself unpopular
with (lie nnth% horn residents. This Is
due, It Is alleged, to bis autocratic man
ner and Ills Insistent refusal to make
himself part of the life of the |MHiple.

Chinsss Hsvs Plsnty pf Tims.
Time, either his own or limt of oth
ers, luis absolutely no value to a China
man. The |teople do not observe a
weekly day of rest. Nothing urgei
them to set apart a certain portion of
work to lie accomplished between Hun
days, each day and hour having Its
share. Children attend school from
daylight until dark, with no recreation
and no recess except that needed for
refreshment, and this every day In the
year but oue—New Year'* day. Thus,
at an early age they gain the Impres
sion that time is limitless.
Hie divisions of time are Indicated
with sufficient exactness In China by
the terms "morning" and "evening."

An eyewitness relates an Incident
that shows how close Instinct some
times comes to reason In birds, says
Chicago News, A bill poster had drop
ped a lot of paste on the sidewalk near
a wall, und tt hungry sparrow had got
himself so mixed up In It that Ije could
uot get out. Ills struggles attracted
the attention of a score of other spar
rows, and they were busy lu their ef
forts to release him. One after anoth
er they would fly lo a nearby fountain
and flutter In the water for a minute.
Tty'ii they \\ould go to their paste Im
prisoned companion and scatter on him
the water from their feathers. In a
little while they had In this way dis
solved enough of the paste to free the
prisoner, and then they accompanied
lilni to the fountain, where he took a
good bntli, shook himself vigorously
and flew off in high glee.

such emergencies is KIIOWII here, an
apparatus for holding the children 111
lied. It consists of a bed strap, which
Is arranged across the lied and strap-
Jied beneath the mattress. Attached to
the bed strap Is a baud or belt which
moves freely on the lied strap, 'l'he
belt Is placed ampul the body of the

Sickroom Precautions.
Never wash cups, plutcs, spoon* and

Infectious diseases, as scarlet fever,

way. Do not eat lu the sickroom or
partake of anything that has stood

Clipping tha Hair.
ITalr should be clipped two or three
times a year .to remove split end# and
promote growth. If the hair Is braid

drawn up over each braid the loose
ends will stand out lu a way which
makes theiu easy to clip.
