Touched the Chord.

At noon yesterday there were half
dozen idlers at the foot of Woodward
avenue some asleep, some looking de-
spondent, and two who had just assured
pedestrian that they must have work
at some price or starve. A gentleman
suddenly stepped out of an office and
approached one of these men and said:
"You look like an honest man."
"Yes, sir, L do.
"And you are hard worker"
81 am that"
81 presume you could be trusted in
any capacity"
"Oh, know could"
"Well, have job for you. Our
porter at the Sixth National Bank has
left us and we must fill his place. The
only thing-that is-you see"
+" Do you want "a recommends" asked
the man, as the other hesitated.
"Oh, no, no, no! You see, we have
been paying the other man 81, 1000 per
year, and and"
" And what. sirp"
"Well, the board has decided to cut
1t down to $3, 800"
"Then don't you take it!'' said the
mans partner.
"Then / won't II / amt worth as
much as the other man was, the board
can do its own sweepingr"
The gentleman walked back into the
Office, the winner of box of cigars. He
had wagered that he would offer the
man place at $1,000 per year, and
that II would be MISUNDERSTANDING Ere.

A New Danger.

A most painful incident has hap
,oned in st. Joseph, Mo. A young
ady moving in the first circles of So
oiety playfully bit young gentleman
In the arm. There had been mock
quarrel between the two as to the pos
session of piece Of jewelry, and the
young gentleman went to his room
charmed with the young lady's repair
tee, and more than ever convinced that
for true refinement, as well as for bril-
liant wit, the young ladies of Missouri
are unrivalled. To his great surprise
and horror the bite proved to be poison
GUS, and the young man narrowly es-
capped losing his life. This incident
naturally reminds the local Missouri
press of another young man who was
playfully bitten, q year ago, in the
thumb by another fair Missourian, and
who thereupon died In great agony
The inference that the bite of Mis-
souri, girl is poisonous and may be fatal
is irresistible, and when we consider
the manners and customs of Missouri
girls as revealed by the two stories Just
quoted, it is really % wonder that any
male Missourian who has mingled much
in society still survives.
About a year ago NJ. Pasteur, the
eminent French physician, discovered
by experiment that small animals inoc-
ulated with the saliva of human being
die almost as quickly as those which
have been bitten by the cohi d. Com
pairing the result of these experiments
with the tragedies wh.Jh have been
caused by the careless use of the teeth
ON the part of Missouri girls, it becomes
only too probable that all girls are pois-
onous. That this has been only re-
Gently discovered is doubtless due to
the fact that, outside of the first circles
of Missouri, society girls rarely if ever
bite. In circumstances where Mis-
souri, girl would gracefully bite a COM
panion of the other sex the average girl
would content herself with playfully
tapping him with fan. Any prudent
person will shudder with horror when
he thinks how near he must have been
at some time in his life to the deadly
teeth of girl, and realizes that he
owes his life simply to the fact that the
girl abstained from biting him.
If girls become generally aware that
they can intiict death with their upper
incisors as surely as the rattlesnake
can slay its victim with its fangs, what
safety will there be for any human be-
ing who does not completely isolate
himself from girlsp-N. Y Times.

on the corner. One said that his wife was
cleaning house and had every room upset.
The second observed that he had just left
six painters at work on his house. The

and building on wing. The fourth smiled
sadly and added that he was going to have
four ceilings whitewashed, three rooms re-

A Splendid Remedy for Lung Disease

"I'I'3"' Is0f'ie"J i"f '.""B DfSe"Ses'
DR.. Robert Newton, late President of the
Eclectic College of the city of New York,
and formerly of Cincinnati, Ohio, used
DIR. WIN. HALL's BALsAM very extensively
in his practice, as many of his patients,
now living, and restored to health by the
use of this invaluable medicine, can
amply testify. He always said that so
good a remedy ought not to be considered
merely as a patent medicine, but that it
ought to be prescribed freely by every
physician as a sovereign remedy in all
cases of Lung diseases. 1t is a sure cure
for Consumption, and has no equal for all
pectoral complaints.

Labor and Food.


The human body never ceases to work.
Even in the most profound sumber some Of
the functions of life are going on, as, for
instance, breathing, the circulation of the
blood, digestion, when there is food in the
stomach and il follows that some part Of
the nervous system is therefore awake, and
attending to business all the day and night
long In the act of living some of the sub
stance of the body is being constantly con
sumed. The amount of work done BY the
heart in one day in propelling the blood is
now estimated as equal to the work of
steam engine in raising l2j tons one foot
high or one ton l2j feet high. We lose in
weight by working. Weigh man after
several hours hard labor, and he will be
found two or three, and. in extreme cases,
several pounds lighter. If we do not wish
to become bankrupt. We must replace by
food the amount we have lost by labor.
Hunger and thirst are the instincts which
prompt us to do this. They are like auto
matte alarm clocks, which stop the engine
at various points to take on fuel or water.
In healthy man as much is taken IN as Is
required to maintain the weight of the body
against loss. Nature keeps the account.
On one side is so much food spent in work
on the other so much received into the stom-
ach for digestion. They should balance like
the accounts of an honest book keeper. In
an unhealthy person the instinct of hunger
becomes disordered AMI does not sound the
alarm, and SO the person goes on working
without eating until he becomes pauperized
or the instinct works too frequently, and he
eats too much and clogs the vital machinery.
A calculation of the business done in the
body reveals this fact that for hard-work-
ing person about l-2 pounds of food and
drink are used up daily; some bodies use
more and some less, but this is tine average.
The profit which the body gets in this trans
action has been calculated, and may interest
our readers. The energy stored up in the
8 l-2 pounds of food ought to raise 3,4O0
tons one foot high. Most of the energy,
however, is expended in keeping the body
warm and its functions active. About one
tenth can be spent in our bodily movements
or in work. The profit, then, on the pro-
cess is about ten per cent. This is enough
to raise $40 tons one foot high each day /;
profit which is quite enough for earning
good living if rightly expended, and it is
probably more than most make, but all
ought to strive to reach this point if possi-
ble
