A "Scoopedn Hotel Clerk.

That even &utocrats OF the hotel OIL
flee are sometimes mistaken like com
mon, ordinary mortals, was illustrat-
ed at the Lindell House, st. Louis, re-
Gently, in the person of Bass Hender-
son, the clerk OF that hostelry. The
New York train brought in, among
others, a tall, tine-looking gentleman,
who wore a suit of solemn black, q
high, silk hat and a bland smile. Bass,
who was at the counter when the gen
tleman arrived and registered, had an
indistinct recollection of having seen
him before, but was unable to place
him. He'tsized him up,"however, and
not wishing to appear ignorant, he re-
sponded to thestranger's hearty greet
ing with a firm grip of the hand and q
look on his face as if he was welcoming
back a long lost relative. Looking at
the name on the register he saw a. j.

making a mild guess, he put him down
for a drummer.

Acute Bright's Disease.

Every particle OF the body is con-
stantly passing from a state OF life to
that Of death. This waste, if left to
accumulate in the system, would soon.
fatally poison it. The kidneys are
among the chief organs for eliminating
it. The proper continuous action of
the kidneys is fundamentally essential
to health. But they are subject to
many disorders, among which is in
flammation. This inflammation may
affect only one of them, or only por-
tions Of one. In Bright's disease both
are affected, and all the constituent
parts of each.
Bright's disease may be either acute
or chronic, the latter being much the
NOR, fatal. The former may be very
mild, the inflammation being marked
only in certain capillaries, which, how
ever, become so far changed that they
allow the escape of albumen andblood
corpnscles. AS q general thing, this
form does not terminate fatally.
In graver forms, among the earliest
the face, particularly on the eyelids
and around the eyes, and then in the
lower limbs; feverishness; some pain
and tenderness over the kidneys; vom-
iting. The dropsv tends to increase,
and to extend to the cavities OF
the abdomen and chest. Sometimes
it is very excessive, and causes
great difficulty ofbreathing. Theurine
is scanty, contains much albumen,
more or less of red blood corpuscles,
considerable sediment, and hollow
"casts" of the straight tubes of the
kidney.
As the disease arrests the proper
functions of the kidney, the poisons
which accumulate in the blood give
rise to vomitings, impaired vision, Or
even temporary blindness, andin some
cases to coma (lethargy} and convul-
sions. 1t may also give rise to bron.
chitis, pleurisy, pneumonia pericardi.
tbs inflammation of the heart SACK
and peritonitis.
The disease often proves fatal where
these complications occur. If the pa.
tient is not cut off by bloodpoisoning,
or by some OF these complicating dis.
seases, he is likely to recover, and
that, too, within a month or two at
the longest-tine dropsy rapidly disap-
pearing, the fever symptoms c~easing
and the appetite returning, though
the albu:men and the casts may con.
tinue for some time longer. The re.
covery is generally complete.
Acute Bright sdisease is oftendue to
various other diseases, especially to
scarlet fever.
The physician must treat this dis.
ease, but during convalescence the
patient must bevery careful in regard
to diet, exercise and exposure to
cOld-NOuth'S COmnnninn.

The Rise of the Nile,

In nearly every other country put
Egypt an inundation, or great freshet,
is II public calamity. In Egyptthe rise
OF the Nile is a public blessing, though
possessing all the formidable charac-
teristics common to floods, and the
waves in the wind always blowing
from the north, against the current,
during high water) running dangerous
ly high. jeremiah (46:7, 81, as Mr..
Poole of the British Museum translates
the passage, alludes to this condition
OF the great river OF Egypt. "Who is
this that comethup as the Nile, whose
waters are moved as the rivers?
Egypt riseth up like the Nile; and his
waters are moved like the rivers; and
he saith, 4 will 90 up and will cover
the land" But the native of Egypt
only thinks OF the fertility left behind
by the annual rise of the river; and
from time immemorial this event has
always been expected and celebrated
as the most important of the year.
How the inundatlon is watched and
attended in modern days is pictured
thus by a recent traveller:
The rise of the Nile is measured bya
nilometer situated in the Island OF
Rhoda, just opposite to old Cairo.
The present building, with its gradu-
ated pillar, has been used for measur-
ing the height of theriver ever sincethe
ninth century, an earlier nllometer on
the same spot having been washed
away by flood. The increase is pro-
claimed. every day after the third Of
July by public criers-one for eachdis-
trict of the city-whose announcement
is wrapped up in a great deal ofpoetical
metaphor, and communicated in the
ordinary sing-song recitative of the
Cairene street hucksters.
The MISUNDERSTANDING Crier
| of the Nile'-takes his stand the
house OF some well-to-do Clairenefrom
whom a good ''bucksheesh" may be
expected, accompanied by a boy, who
responds to his chaunt as the clerk
responds to the clergyman. 1t is q
tiresome formula, consisting OF many
versicles; but the following will serve
as % specimen.
"Mahomet is the guide" sings the
crier.
"He will prosper who blesseth him."
answers the boy.
Crier-I extol the perfection of Him
who spread out the earth.
Boy-And hath given runningrivers.
Crier-God hath given abundance,
and watered the highlands.
Boy-And the mountains and the
fields.
Crier-May Hcbless this house!
Boy-And pour the Nile over the
country.
Last OF all comes the announcement
of how many digits the Nile has risen
that day, as recorded By the nilome'
ter.

A newly married couple We're e nroute

the young man wore occasional looks

the young man looks happier than

blush, discovered only to the initiated
and envious. No perplexity, no anx-
iety now. The revelation has been
tested and found asuccess. There are
many tunnels, but not enough. Ii the

A Grand Military Display Ending with
Peculiar Rendition of a Prayer.
We rode at least a mile and a half,
says Gen. uigginson in Blackwood's,
past the line OF tents, and must have
seen $4,000 men. The ground is
prettily accidente, and altogether well
suited for camp purposes. At the end
we came upon the guard regiments
and the Preobrajensky regiment,
with whom finished the inspection;
and here We're assembled all the
bands and drums, to the number Of
500, in one compact mass facing the
empress paviliono or tent, at the door
of which she and her ladies alighted,
and were joined by the emperor and
grand dukes. We all dismounted and
came inside the square, of which the
royalty and staff formed one side, the
musicians the opposite side, the other
two sides being composed OF officers OF
the various corps who had hurried to
the spot. In the center, on a mound,
stood the condutor of the united
bands of music, and near him one

and the emperor came down from the
pavilion and spoke to each OF the
generals, He was very gracious to
me, and inquired about my service
and the commands had held. This
over, he stood alone i'll the center,
and a detachment OF sergeants in full
marching order passed him one by
one, each sergeant giving the evening
report Of his picket and of the usual
''watch-setting' in a loud voice, the
czar thus fulfilling for the moment the
role of camp commandant. We

burst forth with the Russian national

Women rs Car C0nd ;ctorS.

From n Valparaiso Letter.
That which first strikes the stranger
as the oldest thing in Chill is the fe-
male street car conductor. During
the war when most of the ~able-bodied
men were sent off to tight Peru, the
employment of women in this capac-
ity was found successful, and they
have since been kept. They are usually
girls from twenty to twenty-five,
dressed in 4 natty un form of blue
flannel, with iaunty Panama hats and
white pinaforcs, with lots of pocket.
in VIII. CHI they keep their tickets and
change. Each one has Il leather shop.

her shoulder. in which she carries her
surplus money and supply of tickets.
They are usually neat IN their appear

PHANTOM SONG.
%BYBAyARD TAYLOR.

They sing in tones rs glad as ever
The songs she loved to hear,
They braid the rose in summer garlands
Whose flowers to her were dear.
And still her footsteps in the passage,
Her bushes at the door,
Her timid words OF maiden welcome
Come back to me once more.
And all forgetful OF my sorrow,
Unmindful OF my pain,
l think she has but newly left mo
And soon will come again.
She stays without, %perchance, a moment,
To dress her dark brown hair;
l hear the rustic Of her garments,
Her light step on the stair!
Oh, futtering heart, control thy tumult,
Lest eyes profane should see
My cheeks bctray the rush OF rapture
Her coming brings to me.
She tarries long; but 10! a whisper
Beyond the open door;
And gliding through the quiet sunshine
A shadow on the floor.
Ali It's the whispering pine that calls me,
The vine whose shadow strays;
And my patient heart must still await her,
Nor chide her long delays.
But my heart grows sick with weary waiting
AS many a time before;
Her foot is ever at the threshold,
Yet never passes DER.
