81 have had trouble with one of my neigh
bors," said farmer yesterday after he had
climbed three flights of stairs to interview a
Griswold-street lawyer.
Exactly, sir; Isuppose it is your misfortune
to live neighbOr to a mean MANI"
" His cattle got into my field last Spring"
did, eh? Well, we can take him for DAM
ages and you are sure of your case. How many
head and what shall we put the damages at?"
"Well, you see got mad about it and turned
my hogs into his 'tater patch"
saw! Can he prove it?"
"Oh, owned it right up, and we argeed to
call matters square,"
"Umph Perhaps, however. we can make out
that you were temporarily insane and not in
condition to make bargains
"Oh it isn't that sir. Three days ago one of
my horses was killed"
Exactly"
"The beast ran against my neighbor's barbed
wire fence"
Il see. The fence was dangerous obstruc
ton. Your horse was in the highway2"
No, sir. He was in my neighbor's field and
tried to jump out"
"Um!"
"Can you take the case and make anything
of it2"
"H-a-r-d-ly. Hold on. won't agree to secure
you any damages for your horse, but I'll fix it
SO he can't collect anything for his fence That
leaves you with horse hide worth 50 and the
proud consciousness of having stood up for your
rights like an American"
The farmer laid down ive-dollar bill, and
the lawyer was retained.

A Family Doctor il CdssetrS Mngdzine.l
/ began my characterizing attacks of indi-
gestion as merely symptomatic of weakness
and suggested toning up OF the system as
cure, but this must go hand in hand with regu
lation of diet. Well, to be practical. would any
lady or gentleman consider diet like the fol-
lowing a starvation one? Let them try before

coatina and milk. Toast or stale bread. White
fish; underdone steak or chop. Lightly boiled
eggs.
1:30 p. m.-Lunch. little of whatever is
known to agree. A slice of beef or mutton or
few oysters.
6p m-Dinner. No soup. White fish. Beef
mutton, fowl game. No rich sauces. No made
dishes. No pastry or cheese. Vegetables in
moderation, preferably potatoes, seakale or

water, with 10 grains of bi-carbonate of soda in
it. Sleep in a well-ventilated room on hard

SCIENTIFIC CHAT.

- Tn some recent lectures upon hysteria in men,
affection which appears to be far from rare,
Prof. Charcot states that many OF those troubles
arising from railway collisions, which now
referred to railwayspine,' arise from cerebral
prcdisposition and are, i'll fact, hystera, nothing
but hysteria.'
- Scientific investigators have found that the
power o. the bacillus of consumption is destroyed
when other bacteria grown in the same soil.
Recognizing this fact, the new and remarkable idea
has occurred to DIR. Cantaui. of Naples, of fighting,
bacii with other bacilli. II one of the organs of
the body be attacked by bacillus which is danger
to human life, he introduces Il bacillus which
is not injurious to man, but brings destruction 20
the dangerous bacillus. In the case of a conSump-
tive patient the doctor introduced harmless or

that the bacillus tuberculosis gradually disappeared

Col0Hels. Majors, or Judges.


"Well, I've looked the thing over pretty
thoroughly, and I've sized up a good many of
the men who are most frequently called by
high sounding titles, and I've got a plan by
which | can designate every man of title as
soon as i lay my eyes on him. Now, mind,
there are many honorable exceptions; but if
you would like TO know how to tell a man with
title so as to address him just right, the first
thing I'll tell you what to do. And mind it's a
pretty dangerous thing to call man by title
below the grade to which he thinks he belongs"
a really would like TO have the recipe"
All right. When you see little insight
fcant looking man taking long strides, and
wearing plug hat, if he's over 80 years, you
address him As Captain
If he's pretty stout and has a plain red
nose, and smells of bad whisky and cob pipe,
he'sa Major
:" If the man is large framed, or only very tall
and has red face and a very red nose with a
wart upon the side of it, you will be dead safe
in calling him Colonel
Now, if the man is large or as / said before,
only tall and has a gray moustachc or beard,
drinks his whisky straight, and a good, big
drink at that; if he has a lould voice and red
nose with two warts upon it, he's a General ;
every time, and don't you ever seem to forget
the fact!
Judges are a little harder to place. Any
man who has practised in a justice court or has
been justice Or a clerk for Justice of the
peace can with perfect safety be addressed as
Judge"

Up and Down i'm q Hurry.

San Francisco papers report the death lately
in that city, in the most wretched state of des-
titution, of a we'll known character, Johnny
Skae, who seven years ago was estimated to be
worth ten millions of dollars. He was employed
at Virginia City as an operator in the California
Telegraph Company when the four bonanza
kings-Flood, OBrien, Mackay and Fair-wcre
developing their operations connected with the
silver mines in California and Virginia City.
They communicated with each other in cipher.
Sllae discovered the key TO this cipher, and be-
came aware, long in advance of every one else,
of the marve!s which were to astonsh the
public. All the money he could command or
borrow he invested in shares of the two mines,
and when the allotment was finally settled and
public excitement had some what cooled, it was
found that the telegraph operator was worth
s3,O0O,OOO. But he was not content, and specu-
lated largely in much less safe investments, so
that when the commercial crash came soon after
it quite ruined him. He disappeared from
view until year ago, when policeman in San
Francisco found him lying in the street at
night hOpelessly drunk, with only few small
coins,

Government that Won't Protect Han Against

"Judge, my wife does snore Just awful, if I
must say it, but didn't want to and thought,

thing as getting wink of sleep in the same

"But along with her snoring she whistles
through her nose like tugboat. She's little
woman, but good heavens, Judge, she'd raise

That don't make any difference. The law
says you must put up with it and make the best
of it. To get divorce you must have reason
able cause to begin with"

without sleep till l drop, or bunk III the barn
Does the law give that woman a right to make
a fog horn of herself and shake the whole house
with her nose rs soon as she shuts her eyes?
Does the law uphold her in robbing me of sleep
that's the same thing as bone and muZZle to
me? Does the law give her the right to whistle
through her nose and snore tit to make a COW
bawi the live long night, and at the same time
give her whack at my property if L leave her
to save my life? Does il do all that, Judge?"
"Well, yes; it SINNERS down to about that"
"Well then, I'll never vote again as long as
1 live, and wont pay cent of taxes if l hang
for it. If the law tries to buldoZe me that
way it'll have to paddle its own canoe after this,
