A Curious Case.

The little child, Anabel flanagan,
who recently went nearly two months
without food, is in this city to 'recov-
err" Last spring Anabel began to lose
appetite and gradually discarded the
use of food. At first she gave up tea
and coffee, then she stopped eating
meat and butter. Vegetables were
dropped next, and finally she even
stopped milk and fruit. During her
long fast she virtually lived on air and
water. She drank in great quantities
and inhaled the atmosphere with much
satisfaction. She became dreamy and
slightly preoccupied, but did not de-
cline in health, Her cheeks became
pale, but she was not reduced in weight
to any extent. by order of physician
she was regularly bathed in milk and
olive OIL She was also induced to take
minute homeopathic pills. Every device
was resorted to to stimulate taste for
food, but she rejected them all alike.
The tifty-third day she was seen to nib
bic a crust of bread. From that time
she commenced TO gradually recover
her appetite. She began with the same
things that she left of, but even now
she will not touch meat. During the
last fifty-three days she lost but ten
pounds, and even that may be due to
the fact that she was constantly har-
raised by the curious and inquisitive.
She now has rudy skin and shows
no symptoms of ill.health. The fact
that she suffered no pain nor inconven-
fence makes it hard to understand her
case.-St. Paul (Minn.) Special

The game has been improved beyond

after business hours. The result is that
probably twenty times as many people
have attended baseball matches in this
country during the past summer as
ever in one season attended cricket
matches in England.
English billiards suffer under equal
disadvantages with cricket, though the
disadvantages are not the same. The
game is played upon vast plan of
sevrnty-two square feet. broken by six
apertures at the sides This structure
requires space of at least twenty-five
by sixteen feet The breaks in the
cushion caused by the pockets preclude
the continuous use of the rail and great

test of skill.

were played in this country twenty-five
years ago, and all the changes that
have since been made in it have tended
to make the game more scientific and
more interesting and consequently more
popular. 1t is curious to reflect that at
that remote period American billiard
PLAYERS not only played Il game in which
pockets and carroms were mixed, but
that the color of the ball pocketed or of
the balls carromed upon made d fer
ence in the score. These absurdities
were long ago removed from the Amer
lean game. They survive in the Eng
lish game. The standard American Ia
BILE is two feet shorter and foot mar
rover than the English table, while
smaller size still is used very commonly
in clubs and saloons and almost unlvcr-
sally in private houses. where such
table requires about two-thirls the room
needed Tor an English table. The only
advantage that can be claimed for the
English table over the American table
is that pool can be played on it. But
this is really drawback, since billiards
is an interesting and scientific game
and pool is merely form of riot II
we had been as stubborn rs the English
in refusing to rat onalize billiards our
best b lizard players might be going
into bankruptcy. If the English had
followed our example billiards might
be as popular in England as they are
here, and the English players might be
contending with practitioners of civil
lied billiards in Paris or New York in
stead OF making dismal series of spot
strokes against each other. --NeW York

Partisan Snciatu

1t is impossible for any American not
acquainted with French society to real
ize how marked is the difference be-
tween the a%ristocratic and the shop
keeping element in this country. writes
q Paris correspondent of The Philadet.
phid Telegraph. In America, Sixth
venue and Eighth street, so far rs the
dress and demeanor of the feminine cle-
mcnt are concerned, resemble very
closely the same element in Fifth avenue
and Walnut street. Whatever differ
cnce exists is like the best qualities of
Judic's acting-it consists of shading.
But in Paris, Nine. Dubois, of the Boule-
ward Scbastopol, no more resembles the
Marquise de Haut Cassel in toilet and
demeanor than Il chicken resembles q
canary bird. To describe the queer old
woman in dreadful gowns that | have
seen at the Elysee balls in later years
would be to furnish material for
a cartoon in the Charirari. | have, for
instance, seen IN elderly female in one
of the official boxes at the Grand opera,
evidently the wife or mother of some
great political parsonage from the prov
inces, amusing herself by deliberately
scratching her head with her back comb
during the greater part of the perform
ance. The republic lacks ladies'" is a
reproach that has often been brought
against it. Nine. Grevy is elderly and
is an invalid. Nine. Wilson is absorbed
in her children and her domestic cares.
Nine. Brisson dislikcs society even more
than her husband does. And at n
time-it was under the premiership of
Gambetta-there were several of tho
ministers who were unable to receive at
all, for the reason that the ladies presi-
ding over their different households
were not receivable" The most elc-
giant lady of the republic, so far, has
been Mime. Washington, formerly Miss
King, of New York, who, being an
American, understood how to unite So
cial grace and distinction with firm re-
publican principles.

LAFAGAN's LOGIC.
LAZINESS.

LAZINESS.
Laziness is a libel on nature.
1t is productive in life, and dies hard
The devil is the only counsel in its de
Tense.
1t is content with the efforts of its an.
cestors.
1t is the only successful persecution J
know of.
1t is preferable to RIGHTEOUSNESS, but
that's about all.
A lazy person is an accident and
ought to be born again.
Laziness don't seem even to get up to
the dignity of sin.
When inherited it is as hard torise
above as to climb a creased pole.
1t is hale and hearty for its age, and
does not appear to be going out Of
fashion.
1t trusts to luck for an existence, and
luck drums up trade for the poor-housc.
Next to hot whisky it has done more
to degrade humanity than any other one
thing.
1t is a curse to humanity, and never
had but one successful rival-the locusts
of Egypt.
When l content myself with a lazy
person l am generally suffering for
something to fondle.
The more | study this subject the
more curious 1 am to know what the
lazy people are born for anyway.
A lazy man may hunt for a job, but
you'll always notice that he misses it
just ''by the skin of his teeth"
There is, however, one good thing
about l~aziness, for like trough on rats
it don't generally hurt anything bu,
rats.
After all perhaps it is necessary that
one-half of the world should be lazy
that the other half may have a chance
tosget its graft in.
Laziness is about as full of DAYS
work as beans are full of wind, but it is
about as hard to get a days work out
of it as to eat pork and beans and avoid
the nightmare that follows.
The devil was the first to get a corner
on %laziness. He took it on trial for
three weeks and liked it so well that he
patented it. Laziness in people is only
an infringement upon this patent.
l would favor killing off all lazy peo-
pie, only | am afraid that mans ingenu-
ity would invent something worse in its
stead. 1t is a wonder to me that they
haven't tried to improve on laziness
before this.-Chicago Ledger.

Utilizing the Ugly Pug.

A young lady whose father is one of
the wealthy men of the city went abroad
last summer in company with two rela-
tives. They sailed from this port and
returned ,hither. They allowed their
general baggage to be inspected with
out protest. The young lady carried a
diminutive pug dog in her arms. The
animal was particularly ill-natured and
vicious, but the young lady appeared to
be fond of her brute and carried him in
her arms all the time. He wore a
blanket and had a collar around his
neck.
| got close enough to see that the
blanket was n mass of expensive lace
tackled on to the blanket, to enable her
evade duty on it, and hat the collar was
literally studded with diamonds. What
could we do? If we had held the dog
there would have been a great howl
over the indignity, and the girls father
had influence enough to have us aIl dis
charged. We consequently allowed the
$40 pug, with his 50, 600 blanket and
his $4,000 collar, to pass free of duty.

Fear in a Dissecting Room,

Doctor, does it not sicken the stud
ents. or do they not loose all feeling and
generation for the dead?:" ''Some may
sicken for a while, but they gradually
grow accustomed to it, and then they
give it as little thought as you in your
daily avocation. l have seen things in
a dissecting room that have made me
tremble. case-hardcned as l am. In my
second year of student life, one evening
we were all in the dissecting room,
waiting for the demonstration to call our
numbers, apportion us in squads of four
or five around the room. There were
some twenty bodies lying on the tables;
some were covered and others were not:
there were white and black, male and
female, old and young. We we're as
signed to n of the covered tables, and
drew lots for choice of position. l
chose the head, and then we uncovered
the body; it was that of a girl not more
than II, and she could not have been
dead more than q week. Her long
blonde hair was clean and in two braids,
tied with light blue ribbon. She must
have been handled very gently, for the
ghouls' hook had left no mark on her
fair white skin, and the ribbons in her
hair were another proof of that. The
boys all paused, ! saw a silk band on
her neck, and on touching it found a
locket, which | opened. In it was an
old lady's sweet face, which seemed to
chide me with her kindly eyes. On the
other side was the Inscription; May
God SO deal with them as they deal with
you, my child. MOTHER
Well. we did not dissect that night.
Nor was that body dissected in our col
.ege."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

An Effective Prescription.

An esteemed Philadelphia contem-
porary devotes a large share of its edi-
torial space to the discussion of a card
from an anxious Mother" who wants
to know what she shall do to rescue her
darling son, aged twelve, from the per-
nicious habit of cigarette smoking. Al
though the editor exhibits the mos,
praiseworthy intentions, it falls short of
its opportunity in failing to tell the anx-
ious mother that the obvious need in
the boys case is to take a good sound
pine single, fashion it in the shape
of a paddle, and wear it out on him.

Gracious me! l hadn't heard n
word of it till last night. Tennie Barke-

that, Blanche, for he had such delicious
