A Leading Psychologist
Advances His Theory of
Catarrh and Consumption
His Advice On the Subject.

One of the best learned physicians OF
modern times, in an article on catarrh
and consumption, says: 1.-THE treat
ment of consumption has made great
advances by the introduction Of new
remedies, and has enabled the close
student and specialist to establish indi-
cations for remedies long in use, so that
by their methodical application better
results are attained than were formerly
gained at time when consumption and
cancer were regarded as equally incur
able, and were somewhat similarly
treated.
1.-THE treatment of consumption de-
mands careful avoidance OF all agents
calculated to cause hyperemia of the
lungs and bronchial catarrh. Persons
in whom tendency to consumption is
suspected should be- treated with the
greatest care and attention.
Finally, whenever there is the slight
est suspicion of a predisposition to con-
sumption, every catarrh, no matter how
slight, should be treated with the ut
most care, which must not be relaxed
until the catarrh is entirely well. This
rule. so obvious from our point of view,
is very frequently violated.
"Many patients fall victim to the
deeply rooted prejudice that NEGLECTED
catarrh never leads to consumption

Sad Plight of a Baltimore Belle
Boston Letter.

Boston Letter.
Perhaps you can imagine the sensa-
ton created by the following incident,
which occurred at a select and formal
dinner party on Beacon street one day
last week:
One of the guests on this festive occa-
sion was young lady from Baltimore
whose attractiyeneSs-fOr the men, at
any rate-iS not diminished by fen
dency to be mildly giddy. On either
side of her at the table We're seated two
nice young men, who Wed with one
another in their efforts to engage her
attention. With both of them she
seemed equally pleased, bestowing
her smiles this way and that with
charming impartiality. Having been
introduced to the pair but five minutes
before sitting down, she had cast a spell
upon them before the fifth oyster on her
plate was swallowed; when the soup
plates were removed they had aban-
dOned themselves to her destinations,
and by the time the roast was on the ia
bic each was hOpelesSly enraptured.
When the foul was brought it CHANGED
that-while the butler and assistant
were out of the room for a mOment-the
hostess, who sat close by at the head of
the table, wanted some salt.
My DEAR" she said to the Baltimore
girl, will you hand me that little cellar
by you?'
The young woman spoken to looked
up respOnSively, but made 10 motion
to reply with the request. Surprising
that she had not understood, Mrs. K
said again: '.Will you give me the salt,
If you please?"
BY this time the attention of every
one present had been called in that d.
reetion. The young lady from the Mon
umental City, however. was not per-
turbed. 81 am sorry, Mrs. K" she
said; ''but how can do what you
ask?' And with this she lifted her
hands suddenly from beneath the table.
holding in her left the hand Of the
young gentleman on that side, and in
erright the. hand of his rival Both
had been holding hands with her, I'M
known to each other, under the ma
hogany.

IL is RIGHT TO KICK.
Better Do So Than Submit to Be-
inc TmDOSed UDOn.

l have met the railroad hog great
many times, writes NJ. Quad IN the De
troit Free Press. l never meet him
without making kick. He is growing
scarcer every day, and l sometimes
fiatter myself that l have contributed TO
drive him out. When left Toledo for
Cincinnati the other day the train was
crowded and people were standing up i'll
every coach. In my ear was man
occupying two seats. He had bad
little for our rights that he did not look
I'D from his book. There were five of
us standing up, and l said to the group:
"Gentlemen, there are three seats
for which we have paid. Let us take
possession"
He'll kick and raise row."
But We'll kick and raise bigger
one.''
Yes, but what's the use of quarrel
ing with hog?"
1T is Just such men as you who have
made him hog. You have allowed
him to impose on you until he has com e
to think he owns the railroad"
Not one of the four would move. /
went to the other end Of the car, where
three women were crushed into one seat,
picked up twelve-ycar-old boy near
by, and walked up to the hog and asked:
"Have you paid for four seats here?"
That's my buSinesS!" he promptly
replied.
land mine and the public's."
| cleared the seat of his baggage,
seated the woman and boy, and then
crowded in beside the hog. He made
an awful row, but il was useless. He
was left with what he had paid for, and
we got what our tickets called for. Let
every passenger kick on the railroad
hog. and he must go.
One day last spring there were ten of
us at hotel table in Nashville. The
soup was scOrched and no one could eat
it. Not a potato brought to US was
done. The milk for the coffee had
turned. | invited the others to go to
the office with me and kick. They were
drummers every one, but not one would
go. When people speak of drummers
as kickers they are way off. They will
put up with more and do less complain
ing than any other class of men on
earth. In the present case one of them
spoke for all when he said:
Eyes, things are bad and ought to be
righted, but We are here only for the
meal and it won't pay us TO kick"
MOnb Cub 1hC iliiOlOlo hop
in the Office, and | asked:
GLOW long since you were in the din
ing roOm?'
"a week, guess"
"You don't oversee the meals?"
No"
"Well. please go to the head table
and taste the milk, examine the po-
tatOes and smell of the soup"
He departed at once. When he re-
turned he was hopping mad. The head
waiter was called out and dressed
down, the head cock got nicely peeled
and the landlord shook my hand and
said
"That kick of yours will benefit this
house s., 100. had no idea things were
running thus"
The natural inference with hin was
that as long as no one kicked every
thing must be going all right and every
body satisfied. A thousand men had no
doubt gone away mad and injurep his
house.

How to See Ghosts.


A Liberty street belle declares that
she was visited by ghost not many
nights ago. Her description of the hor-
rible "old thing" to friend is as fol-
lows:
"a scraping and tearing, as if some
thing was in my room trying to wake
the dead, aroused me. 1 glanced to-
ward the door where the sound came
from and there it was. just screamed
and buried my head under the pillow.
You may laugh, but T'll just vow it's
the truth. The ghost was long and
tall, and was wrapped in a white sheet
that perspired blood as il it were hui

standing out on it. 1t darted
about over the room like butterfly,
and | could hear nothing but the rust
ling OF its old gown and the tapping of
its wings. Its big old teeth reSembled
cow horns, and it bit and snapped like
mad dog. Its eyes looked exactly
like balls of fire, that burned and flick
cred. | couldn't speak, and just laid
there with my head covered up, smooth
ering almost to DEATH"
"But you had your head uncovered
and was gazing the ghost in the face.
weren't you, to describe it as you haye?'
suggested a friend.
"Pshawl / thought you knew that
people didn't have to look at ghost
with their eyes open. Why, they never
would see one. They see them with
their heads covered up and their eyes
closed"

little the betting fastened itself between

him from exposing four skies. He had

other two. In more or less elaborate

Brooklyn Eagle.

brooklyn Eagle.
a little skirmish occurred at the iunc-
ton of Broadway and South Sixth street
last night. which was witnessed by hun
dreds of people. A stylishly-dressed
young man was noticed standing near
the curb smoking cigarette.
A flnely-bullt woman of about twenty
five summers. wearing plaid ulster and
q hat SurmOunted by an ostrich feather,
dashed suddenly through the crowd,
and, without word OF warning, struck
the man powerful blow on the face,
which for moment 1azed him. He
staggered back against the fruit stand
on the sidewalk Oh the outside of Gar
ei3'S cigar store and was falling. To
save himself he caught hold of the
sleeve OF the wOman's ulster and ripped
it, When he had recovered from the
shock he ran down as far as Cooper's
store. 100 feet distant, but the woman
caught him and again hit him in the
face. He broke away and ran around
the corner and half block down South
Sixth street, across the way from the
Republican headquarters.
A crowd followed and stopped him.
He begged of the woman not to make a
scene, and she answered: 'I'm making
no Sceile, UeorSie, Dut you are. Ii you

ought to he, there would be no neces-
sity of my following you. You have no

of me-" he replied.
You're making show of YOURSELF"
was her reply.
The crowd intertered and advised
them to go home together. The young
man offered the woman, who was no
doubt his wife, his arm and both de-
parted.

A SENATORIAL. GAME.

Twas member of supper party
short time ago made up of men of ma
tional note. Some were members of
the senatorial game. A number of in
teresting stories of odd combinations
were told. Said one legislator from the
West-the very far West: Away
back in the '60S five cOngenial spirits
were enjoying the seductive beauties of
the game. 1t was the time when gen.
ius was the component part of good
and successful player. and | fiatter my
self that small bit of the divine affla-
tuS came to me at one of the critical
moments that evening. L had been
quite successful and was per-
haps $1,000 ahead, when, as the age, |
discovered on picking up my hand that
the lowest straight flush in hearts had
been dealt Inc, pat. The blind was S25.
All came in, and | promptly raised 500;
two of the players saw it. and another
raised ME the same amount; l returned
it. The two dropped out and the third
man raised again. L raised him five
times more, and he stopped. Of course
did not take any cards. and he drew
one. AT this point the chances were
ten thousand to one in my favor. How
ever, | watched my adversary closely
as he examined his one card. and, al
though his expression did not change
n particle. | knew absolutely that
he held the winning hand. His entire
course was as clear to me as though he
had just explained it. His four cards
of one suit needed one to make Sc
quence. He had taken terrible chance
before the draw, and had bet to the
limit. He had made his straight flush,
and, as mine was the lowest possible
one, his was undoubtedly higher than
mine.
at was his first bet, and, after run
ming over his hand, he slowly showed
S25 toward the middle of the table: l
saw his bet and raised him 81. He i'm
mediately raised me 500. l threw my
cards face upward on the table and
said: Your pot How did you ever
guess it?' he exclaimed, as he turned
over his cards, showing straight flush
